An alpha who won't dominate A beta who won't surrender A passion that… breaks all the rules. Thomas knows that as a beta he cannot expect to recognize his soulmate. He’s no monk, but he’s too busy with his hockey career and helping make his sisters' lives with his overbearing parents a little easier. Uriel is an alpha but he knows he cannot bear the responsibility of bonding an omega. He has his work as a lawyer and also volunteers at an orphanage trying to help the children there any way he can. He’s dated, but he is not willing to enter the kind of relationship an omega expects and betas never believe he will stay. Except that betas cannot tell if someone is an alpha… And Uriel has no reason to mention it to a one-night-stand. But the fire between them might not be fated, but it's undeniable, and neither can stop at just once. Are they brave enough to defy the world's expectations and strong enough to overcome the limitations of their own biology? "Not Destiny" is a standalone forbidden A/B/O romance with a side of hockey and courtrooms and a sprinkle of social justice.

N.J. Lysk (pronouns: whatever) is a queer one—in almost every sense of the word—for whom stories have always been their one true home. She studied linguistics and literature (which is to say, someone offered him a genuine excuse to read professionally) and ended up teaching, but writing is their one true love. Addicted to angst, enamoured of mpreg and always ready to try a new kink (in a book, that’s it!) she became hooked into the Omegaverse through fanfic (but he doesn't have the patience to write other people's characters) and has recently expanded from werewolves to hockey players. Check out my shelves if you want some recommendations, including books that inspired me ;) Books can be acquired directly from the website at a reduced rate—new releases also become available there earlier.
