Heād been robbed, mugged, and nearly raped too many times to count. Arriās wolf was fundamentally broken, with no way to emerge, or protect him, finally withdrawing deep within him and remaining silent. Then, a day came when things changed. Answering yet another employment ad, he was stunned to find the source of the advertisement was a beta wolf, then was shocked further when he was presented before the alpha of the Woodlynn pack. Heād heard rumors about this pack, the alpha considered one of the strongest on the continent. He believed the rumors after meeting the large male. Arriās silent wolf had awakened, whispering to him, calling the alpha, mate, which was ridiculous. Alphas didnāt mate with lowly omegas. Especially male omegas, even though Arri was perfectly capable of giving an alpha pups, or so heād been told by the old ex-beta heād befriended. But then again, male omegas were rare, and thought little of, viewed as weak, considered unnatural. So, he would ignore his wolf, do his job, and keep his head down, not causing Alpha Dryden any cause to fire him. *~*~*~* Dryden knew there was something different about the assistant his beta, Vann, had brought to him. He was human, yet he smelled of wolf. But not a scent Dryden had ever experienced before.
