ZIG’s ABO Universe Explanation

ZIG’s ABO Universe Explanation

The ZIG ABO universe is divided mainly into two interconnected lines:

- the “If You Can” series

- and the “Kiss Me” series.

The “If You Can” series currently has 6 novels, while the “Kiss Me” side also has multiple connected stories and future planned novels. In total, the universe revolves around several powerful dominant alpha families, including:

- the Millers,

- the Pittmans,

- and other elite alpha bloodlines, including a Middle Eastern royal family.

The basic concept of this universe is the idea of “damaged dominant alphas.”

In ZIG’s universe, dominant alpha pheromones can affect brain development and emotional functioning. The earlier a dominant alpha manifests, the more severe the psychological and emotional damage becomes. This is why many dominant alphas in the universe are emotionally unstable, obsessive, detached, or psychologically abnormal. That's the reason they are all called "psychos".

The timing of manifestation is extremely important.

- Keith Pittman, Ashley Miller, and Chase Miller manifested relatively late (around or after puberty), so they retained comparatively normal emotional functioning.

- Ashley later melted his brain due to long-term pheromone extraction through injection treatments(the method that Chase uses).

- Nathaniel manifested around the age of 10, which caused partial damage. He struggled emotionally and appeared detached, but he could still understand and process emotions relatively well.

- Grayson and his twin sister Stacy were BORN DOMINANT alphas, making them among the most severely damaged cases in the universe. Grayson especially developed abnormally because his emotional and social development was affected from birth itself.

- Bliss manifested at the age of 7

“Kiss Me If You Can” mainly acts as the gateway into the “If You Can” universe. It introduces the Miller family conflict and the dangerous side of damaged alphas, but the later novels expand the lore much more deeply.

“Desire Me If You Can” is probably the clearest representation of ZIG’s damaged-alpha concept because Grayson’s character embodies the psychological consequences of the entire system and is the main story of the universe. His story recontextualizes:

- the Miller family,

- pheromone damage,

- the parenting dynamics,

- and many events from KMIYC.

Meanwhile, “Kiss Me, Liar” functions more as the central story of the “Kiss Me” side of the universe. Many connected stories from that side still do not have full novels yet, although Keith’s parents’ generation (“Kiss Me Villains”) is expected to receive a novel first.

One important thing about ZIG’s writing is that most characters are not meant to be viewed as simply “good” or “evil.” The universe is built around how pheromones, trauma, upbringing, and psychological damage distort emotional development and relationships.
