Downloading Omega in the Middle (Sugar Beach 5)
I thought I was being the bigger man. I loved Peyton enough to walk away from everything we built in West Virginia before he could realize I was a “dead end.” As a beta, I can’t give him the legacy he deserves, so I did the noble thing. I disappeared.
Florida was supposed to be my hiding spot, not the place where I’d meet a sweet, geeky omega who makes my instincts scream mine. Theo is a miracle, and for the first time, I felt a zing that should have been impossible for a beta. Then the diner door opened, and my past walked in. Peyton didn’t come to Sugar Beach for the sun. He came for me. Now I’m caught between the alpha who won’t let me go and the omega who’s rewritten my soul with a single shy smile.
Peyton
Dalton left me a note and a hole in my chest that no family tree could ever fill. My father can keep his pedigree and his demands for an heir. I only want my beta. I spent weeks tracking him to this humid, palm-tree-infested town, ready to drag him back home where he belongs.
But the moment I sat down at that diner stool, my alpha instincts didn’t just growl—they purred. It wasn’t just the smell of pepperoni rolls. It was the intoxicating scent of the omega sitting next to me. Before I could process why my body was claiming a stranger, I saw Dalton in the kitchen, looking at me with equal parts love and terror. I came for my mate, but I found a missing piece I didn’t even know we were looking for. I’m not just bringing Dalton home. I’m bringing our omega with us.
Theo
I’m a grown man, a business owner, and a gamer who has every Korok Seed and a perfectly alphabetized inventory. I was also pretty sure I was broken, an omega with zero interest in the messy, pheromone-driven world of mating.
Then Dalton looked at me like I was a rare drop, and the beefy alpha sitting next to me practically short-circuited my nervous system. Suddenly, my quiet life is starring in a 3P movie I never auditioned for.
