“Of course I smelled him—smelled him and was drawn to him. Rich, ripe, male omega—not far away and well into his heat. Unsatisfied heat. I laughed, realizing that in this moment, at least, the omega was the boss of the alpha. I needed to help him.”
Angel, an alpha who’s left the violent, strictly hierarchical rules of his pack to find success in the big city, and Leo, an omega on the run from his abusive alpha, are thrust together to satisfy Leo’s urgent heat-lust. But can a once-hurt omega ever trust an alpha to care for and protect him again? And can an alpha sensitive to social injustice learn to enjoy his naturally dominant nature?
Angel and Leo must both face the pasts they ran away from before the two can build a new future together. They may not be able to change the laws of nature, but they can change the language of love.
Omega Reclaimed is a MM alpha/omega shapeshifter novella.
Content warning: this book includes references to past physical abuse and a description of suicide.
REVIEW:
What a book! Alphas, omegas, and betas oh my! And I LOVE how the Omega is pretty much the hero in this book. Love it. Omegas get overlooked because they are considered weaker but they are definitely the stronger ones having to put up with everyone’s shit. And most often having the babies as well!!
Angel was in heaven. The scent of the Omega was surrounding him and putting he and his wolf in overdrive. To the point, he couldn’t ignore it. Something is off about this little Omega. He can smell it. He does all he can to help without knotting him. He almost makes it, but an alpha can only last so long. He finally gives Leo the relief he needs, but realizes Leo has already been claimed. And Angel doesn’t want a mate. But as time goes on, Leo’s heats aren’t getting better. They’re getting worse. And both have to travel to each other’s packs in order to fix what’s wrong. But the past has a way of rearing its ugly head. And as much as Angel wants equal rights for ALL omegas, quite a few shifters don’t. And they may not make it out alive.
I just adore these two. And this story. I love that Angel is an alpha with morals and a conscious. He thinks everyone should be equals. Omegas should be treated with respect, not as punching bags or as lessers. I love how gentle he is with Leo. And how he makes sure he consent before he does anything, in case Leo doesn’t want it. He’s what an alpha should be like.
Leo is an amazing Omega in his own right. Being messed up with the heats he’s having is leaving him in a state, but when in his right mind, he’s formidable. Just like it should be. And what he does at the end, oh yeah. Omegas shouldn’t ever be underestimated. Ever. Even when beaten to their lowest, they survive any way they know how.
This is a great start to this series. I’m so ready to delve into the next book and see where this goes. I know where I hope it does lol.
