Soon sure but he also knows he has work to do to change his alphahole tendencies around omega rights. The Kell Iverson trial opened his eyes to how cruelly some omegas are treated and Karter doesnt want to follow in his authoritarian fathers footsteps when he finds his mate. And he absolutely does not expect a homeless omega vagrant and burglary suspect to be his bondmate.Jax Orris escaped a life of captivity and pain to save himself and his infant son. Living as vagrants isnt ideal but its better than trusting the authorities who landed Jax in hell to begin with. When their hiding place is discovered Jax is shocked to feel the mating bond with the young alpha whos been tracking himand even more shocked when the constable doesnt immediately arrest him for his crimes. It helps him trust Karter enough to accept his help in keeping himself and his son safe from the men Jax escaped.Jaxs story horrifies Karter and he vows to protect his omega from further harmbut first he has to get his stubborn angry omega to trust him. Trust is no longer in Jaxs nature but he cant deny his connection to the young alpha eager to please him.

As Jaxs next heat approaches the investigation into his captivity uncovers surprising connections to several previous cases and the danger to everyone involved increases. Can he trust Karter to protect him or will Jaxs past destroy their chance for a happily ever after?NOTE: This is a non-shifter Omegaverse story with alpha/omega/beta dynamics heats knotting and mpreg.
