A young insecure alpha, an older omega determined to keep his freedom, and the injustice neither of them can permit to go on. Lyall is failing at alphahood like a pro—he’s presented, but he’s still too skinny and too short, and nowhere near aggressive enough to put off his packmates’ constant reminders that he looks a lot like an omega. They have him convinced he’ll never be worth anything. Tristan doesn’t want an alpha: he wants to give other omegas a chance at the freedom he’s carved out for himself. He’s figured out enough loopholes to keep himself unbonded and free to do it, but he’s still only one person and there are a lot of people who need to hear what he is teaching. When he meets Lyall, he realises the young alpha would make an ideal assistant. Their meeting is brief, but their connection is undeniable and as they work together with an ocean between them, it gets harder to deny their own lives have been changed forever.... A coming of age romance between a young alpha and the older omega who teaches him to believe in himself and learns to believe in them both in the process. A/B/O, age gap & other power imbalances between the couple, werewolves, half epistolary, bullying. An Alpha/Omega Age Gap Romance.

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.
