Manufactured Mates #2
The Elysian Extraction
Not yet published
Expected 30 Dec 25He was seeking enlightenment. He found a Berserker with freckles instead.Welcome to the Incorporated States of New America, where spiritual growth comes with a service agreement and Cass represents the absolute worst return on investment in corporate missionary history.
His performance metrics are genuinely zero successful conversions, negative territorial expansion, and a concerning tendency to get stabbed by his own recruitment targets. Elysian Dynamics has given him two weeks to prove he's not completely hopeless before subjecting him to their "enhanced development program"—a process that definitely voids the warranty on your personality.
Enter a corporately modified Berserker whose idea of conflict resolution involves enhanced violence and whose emotional support animal is apparently his own barely controlled rage. He smells like strawberries and cream, which violates several known laws of biology, and keeps interfering with Cass's recruitment efforts by preventing people from murdering him.
The problem? Every time Cass does something adorably stupid—which is constantly—Riot's carefully managed suppressants stage a full rebellion. Watching someone this genuinely kind blame himself for a system designed to exploit him triggers every possessive instinct his corporate programmers tried to bury.
Together, they're about to discover that some corporate policies are worse than death, some rescue missions require more than good intentions, and some bonds form despite absolutely every rational objection.
Because apparently, the heart wants what it wants, even when what it wants makes absolutely no sense.
This is a non-shifter A/B/O Omegaverse novel with no MPreg and a guaranteed HEA.
Content This book contains explicit sexual content, torture, conversion therapy, corporate abuse, human trafficking, chase/capture dynamics, physical violence, and Alpha/Beta/Omega dynamics with power imbalances. Intended for mature readers (18+).

About the author
Gale Ian Tate
9 books39 followersGale writes the kind of mm dark/gray romance that makes you question your life choices in the best possible way. When not crafting morally questionable characters doing questionable things, she can be found buried in a book, rolling dice in yet another D&D campaign, or frantically crocheting while binge-watching whatever series has stolen her soul.
She is a gaming enthusiast, horror movie aficionado, and BL manhwa collector who believes the best stories live in those deliciously gray areas. Between wrangling her four kids and making elaborate to-do lists (that will definitely be ignored), she is always down to geek out over a good book rec or debate which problematic character deserves more love.
