I knew being an omega would get me fired one day, I just never thought hiding it would be the excuse they needed. Irony, you suck. For years I was their best employee, right up until their new alpha hire smelled me in heat. I could’ve kept my job by playing his game, but I’ve spent my whole life running from my biology. I have principles. I also have bills. Which is the only reason my desperate search for a roommate ended with a grizzled alpha veteran, Stefan. Brooding and damaged from years of battle. My biology and I are not on speaking terms now.
