TOMMY..My heart thudded as tomorrow came with a sea of the world’s best business people filling the event hall. Dressed in expensive suits and gowns, they formed small groups as they conversed.I was expected to propose, in front of this crowd of people. The golden light shone so bright that it had connived with my father to embarrass me. A heat gnawed at me, one too intense for nervousness. But I ignored it as I had just one goal: Find Raphael, convince him not to reject me, make him see the logical side, we both needed to do this for our company's survival.I swept my gaze around the hall, and then my eyes fell on Raphael in a far corner. Only he wasn’t alone.By his side was Gerard, dressed in an all black suit. Of all the Dominant Alphas I had seen tonight, he was the most intimidating. The way the air paused and eyes fell on him like he was commanding their attention.My eyes dropped and landed on their hands. Their interlocked arms. My skin prickled as the humiliation hit f

Tommy..Three days had flashed by, and the pills sat in my drawer. Every morning had become a ritual: pacing around my room, staring at it, wondering if I should swallow it and let whatever Gerard planned consume me.This morning was no different…until a clatter from the kitchen broke through my thoughts.Stalking downstairs, I headed toward the kitchen.My eyes fell on Liam, shirtless, apron tied around his waist, flipping pancakes like a newly wedded wife.My spine locked. Instinctively, I released the smallest trace of pheromones just enough to run a quick test. I dipped my chin, sniffing. I couldn’t tell Liam about my state. At least, not until I understood what’s really happening to me.My scent wasn’t significantly different, no omega sweetness, at least.My lungs loosened. “I don’t remember hiring a male chef.” I slid onto a stool beside the kitchen island. Liam stacked the pancakes on a plate and drizzled chocolates before placing them in front of me. “Enjoy.” He slid a

TOMMY..“You’re not going to like the news I brought.” Liam barged in, yanked his coat off, and tossed it on the L-shaped sofa in the living room.My body tightened with swallowed anxiety. Please, let it not be about my condition.“Hit me with it.” My fist balled as I braced myself for the impact.“Father’s arranging your marriage.” Liam’s jaw ticked.Shock rippled down my spine as I froze for a few seconds. Marriage. The word burned my stomach like I had gulped acid.I told myself to breathe in, at least he hadn’t found out I was changing to an omega. But no matter how much air I took, it didn’t fill my lungs.Dragging my hands down my face, I sighed. Another fucking problem stacked on another. Ever since I bottomed, my life had gone downhill. Like buy one, get one free.“Is it to an Omega man or an Omega woman?” I asked.Liam’s frown deepened. “You’re really going to agree to this? Are you going to let him keep controlling your life?”My jaw ticked, the back of my throat burning.

TOMMY..I thought it wasn’t going to happen. But that’s when the horror began. My body stirred anyway, heat pooling low, and my cock hardened. Not for an Omega, but for an Alpha. For Gerard.Pulling off his gloves, Gerard smeared his palm with gel and clasped his fist over my dick. The contrasting warmth of his palm and the coldness of the gel jolted straight to my head, and my heart thudded so loud it echoed in my skull. I told myself it was probably heart disease, or something and not the thrill of being touched by him. Oh, lord let it just be heart disease.Gerard stroked me slowly at first, a smug expression etched on his face. I should have jumped out of the bed, but answers, not pleasure, pinned me down. Yet, the line between them blurred.Although he said this was clinical, nothing about the glint in his eyes was professional. Nothing clinical about the way his hand slid up and down my erection, his thumb dragging over my tip enough to cause my breath to stutter.His face wa

Tommy..I never thought the first words I’d say to Gerard after ten years would be:“Did you fuck me last night?”The world kept spinning but not for us. We both stood still, our eyes locked like it was a staring contest. Then his lips curved up, slow and sly.“Hello to you too, Tommy,” Gerard said, his voice deeper and richer than I knew it. “Although we were never on good terms, I’d imagined our reunion might be…less crude. Not sexual assault.”I fought the urge to throw my gaze away as my skin tugged tight. I shouldn’t have been this direct, I knew that. But while everyone had twenty-four hours, it always felt like I had less. So yeah I blurted it out. Folding my hands, I squared my shoulders, trying to make myself more intimidating and less like an idiot who couldn’t remember who'd bent me over.After a long skin-biting silence, Gerard’s eyes lit up“You’re actually serious?” His lips parted, but I cut him off before he made me feel like a fool. “Forget about it then.”I exhal

TOMMY ..It was already a great way to start my morning, waking up with a sharp ache in my ass that let me know I have done something unspeakable last night. Something like bottoming for the very first time in my very respectable Alpha life. Worse, I couldn't even remember the bastard.And then this.“Mr. Rivers.” The doctor’s eyes were still glued to the scan result in his hands. “The result shows you’re…developing omega traits.”I stared at him. Surely that was a punchline.My brows knitted forming the sharpest V in my entire twenty-seven years of living.“Developing omega parts?” I repeated, my voice flatter than the pulse of a dead man. “What does that even mean?”Like he was regretting the life choices that brought him here—maybe it was I who did, the doctor shifted. “There’s a small formation just above your gall bladder. It looks like a uterus—it’s not fully formed. Also, your pheromone readings lack the density found even in a recessive Alpha…”For a solid five seconds, I d
