Angsty standalone MM romance (beta+alpha).
He hates alphas more than anything. They will pay for his suffering!
Even this one, who just doesn’t give up.
---------------------------------------------------------
Young beta student Soren lives his life in permanent anger and bitterness. Once, he was in love, happy, and hopeful, but his heart was broken when his alpha fiancé left him days before their wedding to pursue a more perfect omega mate.
Soren swears off relationships with alphas. They always leave, following omegas, and betas are abandoned in a heartbeat whenever better mates show up. He despises alphas, but he needs money to cover his father’s debts. His plan to earn money brings him only more misery, and yet another alpha takes advantage of him. Will his dreaded fate ever change?
But alpha Skye Nolan doesn’t know his past. He looks at Soren with wide eyes, smiling and admiring his bad boy look. He seeks his presence and closeness. No, Soren won’t have it! Another alpha to break his heart? Never. He will turn Skye’s life into hell, reject him, hurt him for all the alphas that tormented Soren before.
Soren is toxic and spiteful, but... Skye just doesn’t want to leave him alone.
How much pain can Skye endure before he breaks down? How long will he withstand the suffering Soren inflicts on him? And in the end, as he falls... will he drag Soren even deeper into misery?
Is there a way out of this sick push-and-pull relationship?
