The Omega's Physician: The Prequel
Kenna Grace - 2018
Most of the alphas I dated in the past turned out to be alpha-holes. Pat wasn’t any different. After I catch him in a lie for the last time, I call things off. At first, I was devastated, despite knowing I made the right move. I always wanted a baby, but Pat always assured me that now wasn’t the right time. Now that I’m single though, I realize that I don’t need some alpha-hole in my life to be ready for a child. With the help of a reproductive endocrinologist, that’s something I can take into my own hands. Donovan Watching my fathers’ marriage splinter has left me wary of involvement, and I don’t do long-term. When Katy, the reproductive endocrinologist at my practice, invites me out for drinks with some other doctors from the floor and their partners, I’m a little hesitant. When she assures me there is no alternate motive though, I reluctantly agree. When I get there, everyone seems to be having a good time. It’s not until I hear from my alpha-hole father that I realize many of them are probably living a lie. I don’t trust love and romance, so I don’t stick around. Still, seeing all the happy families at my joint practice, I can’t help but feel a little envious that love isn’t in the books for me.
