For the first thirty chapters, I was sure I disliked this story. I was ready to quit.
Owen was set up to be this boss bitch omega and Nick was a mysterious and powerful stranger. Their meet was great, but then Nick is suddenly living in Rose Manor and you realize that Owen has the personality of a straw wrapper and Nick (suddenly a house husband) is weirdly overstepping/overbearing.
Then, one night (right after they’d just met) Nick pushes Owen down over some obviously unwanted pheromones that had stressed him out and acted BADLY. Like red flag, get out my house, badly. (I will say I understand why the author chose for Nick to take that action, but it felt so gross)
I can honestly say for the first half of the story, I was mostly invested in Locke as a character and only because I wanted to see him be eaten alive by rats. (He got off too easy. I hated him, truly.)
But then things kind of fall in place? It’s weird, I went from “UGH” to “ACTUALLY…”
My only beef by the time I finished it, is that Nick didn’t tell Owen very explicitly how fucking cool he is for having a built in security system that rejects alpha pheromones if he doesn’t want them!!! THAT’S SO BADASS?!?!?
Everyone around Owen but especially Nick (cause he experienced it first hand) should have been in awe. Owen is an omega that doesn’t need an Alpha to protect him. He’s strong all on his own. He doesn’t have to be coerced or intimidated. Omegas everywhere would love to have that ability. And instead of safe, Owen grew up feeling like a monster.
When Owen FINALLY has his moment in chapter 67 I was so damned proud. From straw wrapper to metal straw, that’s the boss bitch I’d been waiting for!!
