    Summary

    Mydei is stuck in a strange state of existence. While most believe him an alpha due to his outward appearance and reputation as a fierce warrior, he has no secondary gender and a limited sense of smell.

    Usually, he wouldn’t care and even prefers not having to deal with heats and ruts, but lately, being around Phainon has him feeling off-center. There’s a weird prickling sensation in his nape that won’t go away, and his entire body heats up at even the slightest provocation.

    Is he, somehow, growing allergic to Phainon? Is that what this is?

    Alternatively, Mydei presents as an omega because of one very oblivious Deliverer and has to deal with the consequences.

    Summary

    Mydei turns to face him, the puzzle snapping into place.

    “And you think I wanted her?” Mydei asks, slowly, unable to conceal his disbelief. “You think I’d choose her as my bedmate?”

    Phainon works his hands into fists before releasing them.

    “No.” Then, his real answer, or at least one closer to the truth: “I don’t know.” A beat. “Would you?

    for the successful defense of a refugee caravan bound for Okhema, Mydei and Phainon receive an unexpected gift.

    Summary

    Mydeimos’s smile is sharp as he shrugs. “What’s your name again?”

    “Phainon of—” Phainon cuts himself off, looking away. It doesn’t matter where he’s from. Not anymore. “Phainon.”

    “Phainon of Nowhere,” Mydeimos says, and those words disembowel Phainon, cutting into his belly and slicing clean across it. “Come to bed with me. We have a show to put on.”

    In the midst of an ongoing war between Okhema and Castrum Kremnos, Mydei's mother gifts him Phainon, an Okheman bed slave he neither wants nor needs. But there is more at stake for both Mydei and Phainon: between Gorgo's ploys, Eurypon's plans, and the advancing black tide, they are pulled between a growing desire for each other and the very fate of their world.

    Summary

    Arranged marriages can be tragic, they can be even more tragic when you both hate each other.

    No one told Phainon he would fall in love with the man he was so cruel to.
    Nor did they tell him just how deep his love would go for Mydeimos.

    Summary

    “Has there really been nobody who catches your eye over the last 2 years?” Mydei asks quietly. Is it a trick of the light or was there… hesitance in those golden eyes?

    Phainon squints at him, trying to figure him out. But it’s not like Mydei to be obtuse, the man had always been straightforward, sometimes to an infuriating degree. With Mydei, you can always be sure he only says what he means, so Phainon doesn’t think too much about it when he shakes his head.

    “No.”

    “Nobody at all?” Mydei asks again.

    Phainon, desperate to find love, begs his best friend Mydei to be his dating coach. After all, Mydei is so perfect, his opinion has to be worth his weight in gold, right?
    It’s not like he ever had a chance with the man himself anyway.

    As for Mydei, what’s a guy to do when his best friend, who he’s secretly in love with, asks him for dating advice? Earnestly help while locking away his own feelings, of course.
