   Summary

   Ryland Grace is a defective alpha- a mild scent, no rut, and no knot. He accepted it a long time ago, but now he's being forced to rethink everything he thought was true about himself. Add in the absolutely stunning man Adrian brought back from space in a submarine and Grace is 99.9% sure he's fucked (plus or minus a .1% margin of error)

   This was not written with AI. Fuck AI. I just have an insufferable fixation on grammar and punctuation.
