Summary
Evander of Kyrios knew his place.
The Kyrios were, each and every one of them, great alphas — but not Evander, and he knew what he’d been born, raised and groomed to do. Mate someone, and be bred until the day he couldn’t anymore. That one scandalous alpha wasn’t the kind his parents had expected to own him, but between the prince’s machinations and the opportunity to finally get rid of the omega son they loathed, the Kyrios couldn’t complain too much.
Evander, neglected by his new husband and terrified of what hadn’t come, knew nothing but fear of the arrangement he’d ended up in.
The bastard changed everything.

Summary
There were two words people used when describing his husband at his funeral: eccentric, and indulging. That was even before they learned he’d left everything in his will to his omega, who couldn’t legally own a thing.
Prepared for the life of a neglected widow, Evander didn’t know how to survive being the key to the greatest piece of land in the kingdom, and after one too many attempts at taking him—and with that his husband’s inheritance—by force, his older brother made a decision. He got him a guard. An alpha, strong and stern and, somehow, for some reason, too loyal for his own good.

Summary
The little thing was pitiful.
Orius would have called him pretty. A perfect little wife, he would have certainly said, and he was everything their parents had wanted their own omega son to be, upturned doe eyes and controlled golden hair on a pleasant face. Aetes looked at him, at the cut on his cheek and the downcast eyes, and the tense parents holding his shoulders too tightly, and he sighed. Some people were not made to have omegas, in his opinion: those too weak to kill it before it could let out its first cry, and too weak to stand by their choice and raise the child properly.
Instead, they’d raised a foolish, pitiful little thing and now, it was Aetes job to fix it.
Or, a sequel to ‘two times north and south’, in which an unkind alpha takes an abused omega as a ward and, to his own horror, ends up caring for the kid much more than expected.

Summary
Lysandros rested his chin on Aetes’ shoulder, peering over at the other omega. “The little brother?” he asked.
“The little brother,” agreed Aetes, only watching. His voice sounded faint and he never sounded like that, so much so Lysandros looked at him with surprise, frowning and straightening himself. He looked back at Evander, searching.
“Homely little thing, huh?”
Or, a sequel to ‘a hymn to the sun” in which two brothers finally reunite.

Summary
Wasim Baksh knew his place.
He was the foreign child cleaning the soldier’s shit, the whore’s bastard they sent to be beaten when the newer recruits needed to prove themselves, the small alpha that had strayed to the wrong side of the border and been kicked around until they found something he could do that made him finally be useful. Now he was their translator, but that hardly made them any less disgusted by what he was and where he came from.
In between all the alphas and betas, the little omega was the only one to ever look Wasim on the eyes as if he, too, was a person. As it turned out, he was the only one they too treated like an animal.

Summary
Only five years ago, omegas weren’t allowed any schooling beyond private lessons overseen by church approved tutors, which made Evander of Kyrios the seventh omega to ever get to go to King’s College. Legally, no alpha had ever been barred from the College, only that didn’t stop Wasim Baksh from being the very first foreigner and the very first bastard to step inside those walls, his alpha status a second thought to most.
They worked it all out, somehow.

Summary
Florian was old, unmated, back in his home country after decades, and worse for it, when he was offered a child to marry. The prospective bride was too young for it to ever be in question, but clearly too hurt to be sent back. Brought to a standstill, they remained—the tired, prodigal alpha and the terrified little omega, with no choice but to work through it.
