Reading this felt like when you make up a story in your head to fall asleep and keep changing the details because you decide you don't like how it's going halfway through
The premise of this is solid. I love a secret baby trope and I love omegaverse. What I don't love is an author that doesn't edit their books. The story itself had so many inconsistences it was baffling at times. I get that this is self published, but plenty of self published authors can write a coherent story.
The baby in question is said to be three at the beginning of the book (which is already not possible because she's been hiding for 3 years and pregnancy takes 9 months last I checked), he acts like he's 5 based on language use and his understanding of things, then 52% in were told she's been in hiding for 7 years, which would make him 7.
This is easy stuff to catch and fix. Just choose how old you want the kid to be and write that correctly.
There's also beautiful lines like "I wanted to rip the wall off its hinges" and "in the way his pants strained in his crotch," which show me that this was not read through by anyone after it was written.
Character wise, Kat was okay, Kai and Alex were great, and Grey was just there for me.
The non-heat spicy scenes felt forced to me and I didn't like how rough they were in multiple of them considering she had been physically abused by other Alphas for the last 3 years. Like maybe don't hit your mate when they still have trauma surrounding their past abuse just because she didn't tell you the whole truth? Just a thought. Also the knife play scene made no sense in any context.
There's so many other issues with this book, but it boils down to the author not knowing what kind of story she wanted to tell.
I won't be reading any other books from her to protect my sanity.
