The Stars of the Pack Volume I: Omega & Alpha for the Pack

The Stars of the Pack #1-2

by N.J. Lysk

Five alphas.
One omega.
The fate of their pack is in their hands.
But what about the fate of their hearts?

When Ray presents as an omega instead of an alpha, his life changes forever. As a male omega, he's expected to mate with a select group of alphas and start a pack of his own.

The five men selected for him are as different as they are keen. And one of them is his best friend, Josh, who Ray was sure could never return his feelings. But now they all must deal with the mating instinct that the power of the Moon brings out in them; and after that... Ray will have bigger problems than a crush.

Can Ray become the submissive omega his pack needs him to be? Will the alphas understand how hard it is for him, or demand more than he can give?

About the author

N.J. Lysk (pronouns: whatever) is a queer one—in almost every sense of the word—for whom stories have always been their one true home. She studied linguistics and literature (which is to say, someone offered him a genuine excuse to read professionally) and ended up teaching, but writing is their one true love.

Addicted to angst, enamoured of mpreg and always ready to try a new kink (in a book, that’s it!) she became hooked into the Omegaverse through fanfic (but he doesn't have the patience to write other people's characters) and has recently expanded from werewolves to hockey players.

A bit unusual and some interesting ideas in this paranormal story, but the constant misery and permanent bad mood the main character Ray is in was dragging me down with him.

[Linda Crandall · Rating 5 out of 5]

In an omegaverse where werewolves SOMETIMES have a male omega who can become pregnant, the idea in itself can be daunting. Even more so when the werewolf in question didn't expect to be anything other than an alpha.
This society's norms tend to parallel our real world, and thus the very idea of male with male is not accepted except in this very rare case, so the internal struggles of the protagonist, his unwillingness to accept himself and his role in this society, and the struggle for all the pack to find a balance - emotionally and as a pack - is long, hard, and full of pain. Even the obvious care the alphas feel for the omega takes a secondary place to the forced conditions of their genetics.
The principle problem is about choice. Informed choice. Impossibility to deny what society, or in this case, a cold hearted uncle-guardian, determines must happen, combined with instincts that seem to force those happenings, takes away all choice, negating the individual. Here, the very gritty struggle of that individual is excellently portrayed, taken to the point of virtual bondage.
The terrible moments, personal questioning, insecurities, and somewhat consequent horrible happening are so well written!
As an observer, beyond my own frequent tears of desperate frustration as a reader, the pain suffered by the protagonist was rendered in such a real way that it took quite a bit for my teeth to not be clenched in anger after finishing the story.
Definitely not for all readers, and the trigger warning offered by the author should be taken very seriously!

Torn

I’m so torn with this series. I like it, but also hate it. I love feel good books. What I mean by that is books where you can feel the connections between the characters. You can feel the bonds forming, but I don’t feel that here. Ray the Omega in this series, became the Omega by surprise but so far after two books he’s still fighting it. I don’t feel he’s putting in any effort to bond with his Alphas. He’s just excepts it but doesn’t make an effort to embrace it. His Alphas are trying and being patient with Ray but I just feel self pity from Ray.

Now in book two you think Ray might be staring to try and make their connection stronger, but then a traumatic event happens and Ray retreats into himself again.

Now with all that said I still can’t book the series down. I’m sucked in and determined to see how it ends.

Though the alphas care for the omega, the fact that he has absolute no say and no control over anything that happens to him and he can't cope with it, the main books compose a dark story from beginning to end.

The short story complements the main books and since it's not centered on the omega, it isn't dark like them. It was interesting and quite enjoyable.
