After escaping the pack that treated me like property, I have exactly three keep my head down, earn my degree, and never let another alpha control me again.
It's a solid plan.
Right up until four wolf alphas catch my scent.
They're possessive, protective, infuriatingly attractive, and completely convinced I'm meant to be theirs.
Too bad for them.
I've spent years fighting for my freedom, and I'm not about to hand it over because fate says so.
But Blackwood is a small town, and there's nowhere to hide when four determined alphas decide they're keeping watch over you.
Especially when my first heat hits.
Especially when my past comes looking for me.
And especially when the wolves I swore I'd never trust make it clear they'll burn down the world before they let anyone hurt their omega.
I didn't come to Blackwood searching for a pack.
But I may have found the four men willing to fight for me anyway.
The Runaway Omega is a slow burn why-choose omegaverse romance featuring crazy sexual tension that leads up to multiple scorching hot encounters. There is a fierce omega, four devoted wolf alphas, fated mates, possessive protectors, pack bonds, nesting, knotting, heat cycles, touch-her-and-die devotion, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
Piper is an omega wolf shifter who has been hiding from a pack in another state for a year. Somehow she got a scholarship and is studying botany. She meets a pack of graduate study men who end up helping her fight for her emancipation in court. The story is primarily a social commentary on the archaic rules allowing omega to be conveyed without their agreement. Her parents sold her to a family that held her mostly captive for six years. The contract will expire in a few months and she's been found. This could have been a thoughtful entertaining story, but the writing style hampers it. It's written in a very choppy, stilted first person, present tense and Reads more like bullet points than prose. It's not an easy read and I often failed to understand the references. Nobody shifts into wolves, btw.
I tried really hard to like this book but I feel like there was no actual relationship built between any of the characters. Instead all of the dialogue is hidden behind math, arithmetic, and courtroom jargon.
We have an omega, signed over at 16 from her parents, over to a pack. A pack who kept her tightly leashed and controlled, always monitored, never allowed to do her own thing. Until she escapes, gets a scholarship and runs. Unexpectedly meets her pack, and not thrilled. We have a pack, who didn't expect to find an omega, burned once, twice shy. They recognize her caution and fear, and respect it. When her previous pack comes looking for her, they step up while still respecting her. I seriously enjoyed this shifter story, it does a good job demonstrating how tradition, bureaucracy, and red tape can be used as a weapon against victims, or to help victims.
2.5. Okay i hated the writing in this, especially the constant lawyer talk in conversations and I was so bored. I didnt care for the characters or story and felt like we didnt see enough of their relationships it was giving next book needed like it didnt feel complete. So 2.5 bc I guess it wasn't horrible.
Don’t know what it is about this book but I couldn’t even finish the 4th chapter. I’m not sure if it’s just how it’s written maybe but it’s just annoying me. It doesn’t feel real, it feels like 90% of the book is gunna be thoughts in the omegas head and I just can’t carry on reading
I can't, the writing is extremely repetitive and not something I can get into. I even skipped forward to the end to see if the story gets better and it didn't for me.
