Sando feels caught between a rock and a hard stone. He wants to be with Maz and Lucan more than anything, but what about his father? How can he dishonor the man he owes his life?
But when the truth comes out about his identity, everything he believed turns out to be a lie, and he turns to the two men who have never let him down. Is he too late or do they still want him?
Meanwhile, the pack has split in two, but both packs face the same threat: General Armitage. What does he want with them? Can they exist in peace or will they always have to fear for their lives? The answer lies in an old prophecy...
This friends to lover MMM romance is the tenth and final book in the Irresistible Omegas series, a bestselling mpreg romance series which needs to be read in order to enjoy the plot lines fully. Both this romance and the series end with a happy ever after, though some side characters may get their story in a spin off series with the second pack.
Would you like the long or the short version of my bio?
The short? You got it.
I write steamy gay romance books and I love it. I also love reading books. Books are everything.
How was that?
A little more detail? Gotcha.
I started writing my first stories when I was a teen…on a freaking typewriter. I still have these, and they’re adorably romantic. And bad, haha. Fear of failing kept me from following my dream to become a romance author, so you can imagine how proud and ecstatic I am that I finally overcame my fears and self doubt and did it. I adore my genre because I love writing and reading about flawed, strong men who are just a tad broken..but find their happy ever after anyway.
My favorite books to read are pretty much all MM/gay romances as long as it has a happy end. Kink is a plus… Aside from that, I also read a lot of nonfiction and not just books on writing. Popular psychology is a favorite topic of mine and so are self help and sociology.
Hobbies? Ain’t nobody got time for that. Just kidding. I love traveling, spending time near the ocean, and hiking. But I love books more.

I am sporting the biggest smile right now. What a fantastic and addictive series. What a captivating overarching plot, what a wild ride at times and what a wonderful ending. Overall definitely a favorite and highly recommended.
I fell in love with every one of these characters, all of their individual romances, this big ass family, this pack of wolves —and I will miss them dearly. Of course I loved a few of them more than others, so just because there are SO MANY characters overall, here are my favorites:
⇢ all three Hightower brothers: Palani (b), Kean (b) and Rhene (a) ⇢ my biggest soft spot belongs to: Enar (b) ⇢ and my two most beloved alphas: Bray and Maz
I am so very happy that there is a spin-off to this series and I guess I will see a lot of them, if not all, there again. The new series follows the youngest Hightower brother and alpha Rhene and his new formed pack with a lot of characters we already know from this one and a lot more new ones to come. I CAN’T WAIT. ♡
“Love is scary. As beautiful and amazing as it can be, it also has the power to break your heart like nothing else can, so once we’ve experienced that, we become careful.”
And with this wraps up the saga of the Irresistible Omegas. What began as a fated romance between four evolved into a family -- a clan of united forces destined by ancient lore to herald a dawn of a new age of pack dynamics that would set the precedent for a stable, peaceful, equal and accepting environment for those of any given status. 😟 It's a culmination of different triads who have staked their claim and their hearts for those that have changed their ways of thinking and made them into better men. Through trials and tears and determination, along with a commitment to rise about their assigned stature, no one is left for want here.🥺
“This was heaven. This was perfection. This was happiness and joy and pleasure, all wrapped into one.”
As much as the story could have centered on Lucas, Maz and Sando's own personal love story, it is the shocking Omega's Truth they discover about Sando's upbringing that is the catalyst which ultimately propels their relationship into completion. It was a painful and shocking truth, but it filled Sando 'with a new resolve...and with courage' dealt it with the way he knew how to best - hypothesis and analysis and the discovery that his mates 'were content to make this all about him and his pleasure'. 🥰 Through the doubts and hesitation, along with the expectations and revolt against Sando's family's wishes, they finally attain true happiness together, helping Sando, their center, their focal point' truly become the omega he rightfully should have always been and providing without a reasonable doubt of their love for him. 🫂❤️🩹 “This is the code of the old ways, and we will honor that code once again.”
With a threat to their very existence, Lidon and his pack know now that they cannot remain silent. An attack on their homefront, a challenge to their claims, with a rally cry 'For Lidon Hayes! For freedom and justice!', do the wolves no longer stay hidden, but bring out their best forces and strengths to no longer allow the political movement not be in their favor. 😟 It was extensive, and intense, but also quite draining and taxing to see how much it took up the majority of what lacked certain heartfelt moments. The revolution's writing felt a little stilted, in my opinion, despite how everyone of importance converged to lend a hand. 😕
“Love changes you. I always thought that was BS, but it does.”
I really wished I could have enjoyed it more. To no fault to Lucas or Maz, I just felt very bored and irritated by their dynamic. Considering the cast has expanded extensively, the little inclusions definitely served the purpose of shedding light on each of their respective futures. But, it was portrayed and written in such a dull manner that I could not bring myself to be engaged with it. The rebellion, itself, was also a major part of the storyline, which made even the romance and intimacy feel boring. 😮💨 Heck, even the main trio did not get enough sexy times as compared to Lidon and co. 😩 It also was paving the way for the next series, and how many were setting base in a new front, so a lot of the focus shifted there as well. It was the dawn of a new chapter, I just don't find myself joining it with them. It has been an enlightening and illuminating experience for me; the first book was quite special, for sure, & for that I am grateful. 🙏🏻
This series has been one of my favourites with superb world-building and character development and, while I'm sad to see it conclude, I am really happy Nora hasn't finished with this setting and will be revisiting the Hightower Pack at some point in the future.
I was also really pleased at how Nora wrapped things up, there wasn't a huge conflict, words spoke just as much as actions did and I've really appreciated throughout the subtle, and not so subtle, messages it has given about equality, about respect and about treating people the same irrespective of status.
After making my way through eight books to get to this final installment, I was hoping for a bit more—but to be fair, this one might actually be the best of the series. That said, the same core issue persists: the worldbuilding. Across all the books, the potential for a richer, more immersive universe was right there, just out of reach. It often felt like Nora was on the verge of diving deeper into the non-romantic elements of the plot, but never fully committed.
One thread that especially stood out—and not in the best way—was the unresolved relationship between Sando and his father. Given the history of literal abuse, the Alzheimer’s diagnosis felt more like a narrative shortcut than a meaningful reckoning. It glossed over years of mistreatment without offering real closure.
I didn’t dislike the series—far from it. There’s something compelling that kept me turning the pages. I just wish the story had pushed further, taken more risks, and lived up to its full potential. Overall, I’d rate the entire series a solid 3.9 out of 5.
Oh Gosh, this series has been such a joy! I couldn't have stopped myself even I wanted to, which I didn't. Binge read my way through the 10 books. Hehe.
It's poetic that this endes with Lucan's story with Maz & Sando. I'm so happy with the end. The multiple POVs we got throughout the series, of the established couples make me so happy.
This series showed that relationship is a work in progress. I'm glad I got to see their struggles, even after the supposed HEA (I mean when a 4/3some's book ended). It showed what I believed, as long as my guys are together, they'll prevail. With love, understanding, forgiveness...
I love them all so much, had fun spending a week of my life with them. This was a perfect end, so special. I liked Nora Phoenix as an author & I'm sure looking forward to the spin off.
There were some spelling errors throughout the series, but they're small in this vast goodness of world building.
Ya, I'll definitely come back to write a less emotional review. Maybe next year :-D
After being disappointed with book 8 I was worried about starting this final story. While the series isn’t perfect I still consider it to be a favorite and I didn’t want the conclusion to ruin that for me. Well, I had absolutely nothing to worry about. This book was fan-fucking-tastic. The conclusion of both Maz, Lucan, and Sando’s story as well as the overarching plot was handled beautifully. There isn’t a thing I would have changed. Everyone deciding to stand up against General Armitage had me cheering like a lunatic. That chapter in which Lidon and Palani finally put his ass in his place alone would have warranted giving this book 5 stars. The entire second half of the book read like a movie and I never got bored. I really look forward to rereading this in the future. 5+++ stars
I must say that I really looove this series. I'm happy that i didn't drop it when I saw the sexism the first books had. The series get a big character development, and if you don't like some character at first, I'm sure you will love at the end. Or vice versa.
My big problem at first, like I said, was the sexism. But as the story progresses, that changes. And the history from there does nothing but improve.
The main story has parts that the author seems to have pulled out of her sleeve without explanation, just because yes. In general I liked all the books a lot, despite those scenes. And I think that this last book it's a good ending for the series, but I looking forward to read the spin off, because it will involve characters that I like. And, in all honesty, I don't want this series to end.
And by Nora Phoenix I only want to say that I love how she tells the stories, I love how she writes and I love the feels I have with her books. I don't lie if I say I've cried with EVERY book of this series.
4.5 stars rounded up for this story and the series as a whole. Yes, some of the reads have been much better for me than others, and Nora's usual problem with poor editing [or lack thereof] and numerous typos has persisted throughout the series BUT most of the characters were very engaging, the storylines interesting and credible as far as a fictional shifter series with pregnant Male Omegas can be 😏, and the amount of sex wasn't too overwhelming most of the time.
I really liked this threesome Maz, Lucan and Sando who first appeared in Beta's Love, the mystery of Sando's background was finally cleared up, and most of the pack got involved in trying to bring General Armitage to justice. My main bugbear with that was that I was expecting far more resistance/violence from his troops [although to be fair, most of them seemed to be thoroughly disillusioned with everything that was going on, and some actively disagreed but could do nothing about it on their own], and things just seemed to fizzle out once everyone got a gander at Lidon and his Alpha powers. My favourite part of the story [apart from the epilogue 💜🧡💛] was baby Hakon transforming into a baby wolf *ah bless*.
More stories about Rhene and Sivney's pack to come apparently, but not anytime soon.
**just a sidenote. Could the model on the cover have had any more foundation troweled onto his face?? 🤨**
I have never had so many alphas kissing feet and bowing down postrating themself in shame (Nora even forgot it happend before and made a caracter wax poetically about how that had never happend before) while it did happen with his mate who kissed kissed naked feet and apologized profusely like shortly before.
but then again the wrongs names and other mistakes this serie had it made me think good proof reading and editing isn't high on the priority list.
but was it a good ending.? meh, not realy bad but it was rushed semi weak and to many loose ends for my taste
I enjoyed it for smutt but expected more since it started way stronger I already found the romance & smutt below par but needed to know the ending..cus i got intrigued and if i can stand it I'm a complitionist..
and now in the end, would i advise this serie..? nope sorry nora
and don't think I will read the spin of about Dragons. which ironically is what peaked my interest but I wanted to start at the beginning so i started here.
I figured since I barely wrote reviews to the other books in the series ( and mind you, I’ve read ALL of the more than once), I should at least write one for the last book.
I absolutely love this series. Seriously. I started it because A FOURSOME, I mean...HOT! But since moment one the plot got me. Plus I feel in love with Enar. My sweet Enar. <3.
All in all, it still surprises me that awhile ago I was all “ugh mpreg” and now I’m all “yay mpreg”. How the mighty have fallen.
Voto: 4.5 RECENSIONE A CURA DI EVELYNE Oggi vi parlo in anteprima del decimo e ultimo volume della serie “Il branco Hayes” di Nora Phoenix, una serie di libri che ho divorato ogni singola volta in pochissime ore. Se amate i lupi mutaforma, le theesome e le omegaverse questa è la serie che fa per voi. È un concentrato di kink, sesso e amore, un mix che ho trovato nuovo e spettacolare al tempo stesso. Questo volume in particolare ci presenta la seconda parte della storia di Lucan, Maz e Sando. Chi ha letto il nono volume sa già tutto ciò che serve per comprendere al meglio gli avvenimenti e i sentimenti che legano questi tre uomini, in particolare il beta. Sando è uno di quei personaggi che acquisisce spessore con il passare del tempo e, malgrado non sia uno dei miei preferiti, è riuscito a suscitare in me emozioni che non avrei immaginato. In “L’amore di Lucan” sono il beta e l’Alpha a fare la gran parte del lavoro e la stessa situazione si ripete ancora una volta in “La verità di Sando”, con la differenza però che per la prima volta vediamo uscire di scena (anche se solo in parte) il personaggio che teneva ancorato Sando al passato. Questo è un aspetto che mi è piaciuto, anche se non ho amato particolarmente come il tutto si è svolto tra loro. Continua sul nostro blog!
This is the final book in this series Sando learning some harsh truths about his father. The relationships strengthening throughout the pack. I love how we keep seeing more of the other groups and how they are coping with the changes and challenges they all face. There is plenty going on in this book. Action, adventure, love and the strength of pack dynamic. Great ending to this fantastic series. I look forward to the spin off series. 4.5 stars
I had to sleep on this review, because there was so much happening, so much emotion, just so much, that I had to stop and really think on how I wanted to write this and rate it, and so forth. Plus, this being the final book of the series brings a new aspect to this as well. I was with this series from book 1 and I remember the start of it all. How even then, things were so different. No one really knew much of anything or was very accepting of things that would change. At least at the time. They had no idea that people were working behind the scenes to make things different, and boy did they. And not in a good way. So here we are at the last book. Things are changing, people are settling down, others wanting to join and know they will lead good lives in a good place. But behind the scenes, abuse is happening, the head alpha’s beta is not doing the job he’s supposed to be. And it’s about to come to a head. And when it does, it blows like a rocket. Once the beta, Pallani, is back to his old self, Sando’s mates have had enough. Especially Lucan. He’s fed up with feeling alone, trying to fight for his mates, trying to make people see the horror of what Sando is going through. When apologies come around, especially from his other mate Maz, Lucan is having a hard time forgiving. And who could blame him. The one thing this pack never did was stand on status of alpha, beta or omega. Treating any as different because of the differences in the pack. But they did this time and overlooked a vital thing that could have ended much worse. But thankfully, Lucan was determined no matter what to make the heads see where they were wrong. And Sando finally has a second chance at life and love. But with the threat of the General, will they all be able to finally live their lives or have to give in? This is one powerful story in many ways. It coincides with another book. Book 9. The things that are occurring are mind blowing, but also very painful. Everyone is either scared to step up or their time is otherwise occupied. And all have been made to feel that approaching Lidon himself is like an unforgivable sin. So it’s been hard. Sando is learning things of his true past and the way he is being treated just makes it even worse. But Sando is scared. He doesn't understand emotion well. His brain is too rational. So he’s thinking he’s the bad guy or doing something wrong. And all the truth that is coming out and the walking on eggshells, is sending Sando to a place he doesn’t need to go. And I’m glad at this point, no matter what, he has Lucan. He has someone that is still willing to fight for him, even though Sando hasn’t said a peep. Lucan knows something is wrong, and he knows Sando is his. But feeling alone in a relationship or in a pack is starting to take its toll and Lucan as well. So it’s a hard story to read and to review. Because there is just so much I want to say and can’t give it away. All I have to say at the end of the day, is that it’s worth it. The end of this series ends on a note that couldn’t have been better. The every day horrors they endured each day was enough to make any man collapse but they all stood the test of time. I’m sad it’s over. I know there’s supposed to be a spin off, and in a way I’m happy about it. I want to see how everyone is doing over time. Even if it’s just a novella. But this series was worth reading. And if you haven’t, you should.
Omega’s Truth Irresistible Omegas, Book 10 By: Nora Phoenix Narrated by: John Solo
Wow, this series was amazing and this final book is absolutely epic. Nora Phoenix is a gift author, I enjoy her writing style and her brilliantly created and imaginative mind. I was excited for this book and a bit sad knowing it is the last of the series, but she brightened my day when I saw she is not done with this wonderful world she created, she will be moving on to the Hightower pack some time in the future. Yay for Nora Phoenix! Yay for her readers and listeners! She concludes this series starting with Sando, Lucan and Maz’s story which started in the previous book, “Beta’s Love”. Poor Sando, my heart went out to him, loved how Lucan and Maz was there for him when he needed them. Then all the storylines with the pack and members of, get wrapped up and we see how they dealt with what was going on outside the ranch, the turmoil and political drama. Everything falls in to place, OMG, Lidon, the prophecy, the old ways, the true alpha and the power of it all. Amazing!! I loved how everything played out in this book, actually for the entire series, the world building and dynamics is phenomenal, the same goes for the awesome characters who continued to grow and develop throughout the entire series. The stories are cleverly plotted with plenty of drama, angst, action, twists and turns, thrilling and suspenseful moments, heartfelt and emotional moments and some hot romance. Nora Phoenix, thank you for this awesome series, it has been an amazing ride and I can not give it enough praise. I am looking forward to what comes next.
🎧📚🎧 And for the fabulous narration, Nora Phoenix cast the perfect narrator to bring her characters and their stories to life. John Solo did an awesome job performing the roles of all the characters, he gave each their own distinct voice and personality, which made it easy to follow along and tell who is who. He had a complete understanding of each character and played the role accordingly, he perfected each role from a growly angsty alpha-tude to a sweet, ditzy omega and all those in between. He is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another awesome listen🎧
If you haven't picked up this series yet, this is your chance. This is the tenth and final book, and it's the right time to binge-read the whole series.
Why read this book...
1. The HEA.... The Hayes' Pack gets the HEA they deserve after all they have been through. All of our throuples and the Pack's Main Quadruple are happy and together. #HappilyEverAfter
2. The Goosebumps... Ms. Phoenix knows how to tickle your senses. All the strength Lidon, the True Alpha, possesses comes at you through words alone. #TheWordIsStrongerThanTheSword
3. The Feels... Get ready to tear up in multiple occasions, both happy and sad tears. #TearyEyes
4. The Subtext... The social issues addressed in the book are lowkey parallel to what our world is like today. Hopefully, we'll get a "Lidon Hayes" of our own soon. #DontGiveUp
4. Sando... Adorkable, sweet, childish Sando is a balm to the soul. He was such a bright spot in this book, be it his naivety or his transformation toan outspoken Omega. #SweetAsHoney
This is the conclusion of the series with spin-offs to come. Yeah!
We finally get the full story on everything and it’s a satisfying conclusion. Loose ends are tied.
We learn how the Sando, Maz and Lucan relationship turns out. It’s amazing btw.
I do not really want to say too much but if you have read all 9 books, you are already invested in this series. Nora does not let you down! The mythology of the original 4 is there. As well as all the characters you have come to love are all present.
I loved how it was all explained and the conclusion was perfect imo.
Finished book 10 in this amazing series. I loved it so much. Usually these long on-going series get a little repetitive after a few books in. Not this series. I loved ever twist and turn as these wolf shifter found their mates and worked through the magic and mystery. The fact the storyline throughout the series sometimes focuses on the MC’s from previous books and not just as fillers with sexy times and all, kept this series fresh for me. I will definitely be rereading this shifter series again one day. I Highly recommend this series. I’m looking forward to reading the spinoff series.
I was so upset about Sando at the end of the last book and how Lucan and Maz were going to handle it. I was so proud of Sando and of Lucan for standing up for him.
Ultimo libro della Serie 😭😭 È stata veramente bellissima e ringrazio Nora Phoenix per averla scritta e Mary Vitrano per averla tradotta!!! 🤩🤩🤩 Quì tutti i nodi vengono al pettine, si scoprono verità nascoste, scomode e orribili. È il momento della vecchia profezia che innalzerà il branco di Hayes e tutti si trasformeranno. Lucan, Maz e Sando e tutti i compagni predestinati festeggeranno!! Consigliato 💖💖💖💖💖
Vous le savez, cette série est un coup de cœur absolu dans son ensemble pour moi. Comme pour toutes les séries qui ont un écho chez moi, j’attendais ce tome au moins autant que je redoutais sa lecture. Bien que j’ai pris mon temps, ma lecture est passée trop vite à mon goût, tant je ne voulais pas quitter la meute. Dans ce tome, nous obtenons les réponses à toutes les questions restées en suspens jusque là. La vérité sur Sando s’affiche enfin au grand jour et le libère de ses chaînes. Ici encore, nous revivons une partie de l’histoire d’un point de vue différent avant de découvrir la fin de cette folle aventure. Les points de vue se croisent et se complètent, rendant la lecture encore plus passionnante. L’auteur a su offrir une digne de ce nom et à la hauteur de sa série. Sans tomber dans les excès ou dans la facilité, elle met un point final à toutes les intrigues. Je salue la maîtrise de Nora dans l’écriture de la meute Hayes. Le mélange des intrigues principales de chaque opus tout en poursuivant celle en toile de fond, sans oublier les sujets divers et variés traités au fil des tomes relève d’une habileté certaine. Cette série a été une de mes plus belles découvertes de 2022 et j’ai déjà hâte de lire la série spin-off qui s’annonce. Il est fort probable que je me laisse aller à relire cette série tant je suis tombée sous le charme de la plume de l’auteur, mais aussi sous celui de tous ces hommes. Une série que je vous conseille vivement.
Die knisternen Momente zwischen Sando, Lucan und Maz gehen weiter. Aber wir erfahren auch, wie es den anderen Rudelmitgliedern geht.
Die spannende Haupthandlung erreicht ihren Höhepunkt und hat mit der Auflösung kaum Platz für Fragen gelassen.
Wir wissen alles was wir wissen müssen.
Die Hayes Rudel Serie hat mich sehr gefesselt. Jedes der Bücher bekommt eine 100% Leseempfhelung. Auch für Leser*innen, die sich nicht im Omegaverse auskennen, ist sie sehr gut geeignet, da alles gut und aufschlussreich erklärt wird.
Das Thema der Wandler erkundet man mit den Protagonisten zusammen. Je mehr sie lernen, desto mehr lernen wir.
Ich habe sie gern gelesen und empfehle sie auch gern weiter.
Omega's Truth is the tenth and final book in the Irresistible Omegas series by Nora Phoenix. Its bittersweet to get to this point in the journey- we get an amazing story filled with action, suspense, angst, steam and love.... but it's the conclusion of these wonderful characters' point of view of the story. Luckily Nora Phoenix did a phenomenal job giving us readers an ending that surpassed all previous books.
There were moments that I was afraid for a character or two, other moments I wanted to give them a hug or high five. I got emotional reading this, that's for sure. I am so hsppy with how things played out, surprises made it even sweeter. This is going on my reread list.
I have loved every single second of the Irresistible Omegas series. It was a bittersweet feeling reading Omega's Truth, the last in the series. It was so satisfying to get the conclusion of the story but I was not ready to say goodbye to these characters. The series was so gripping and thrilling. There were so many times I couldn't put it down, times when it seemed the bad guys would win. My heart broke at times but it was healed by all the love and seeing all the MCs find their mates. I really hope Nora isn't gonna completely leave the packs behind - I'd love some check in story stories. In the meantime I need to re-read the whole series and fall in love all over again.
Nooooo... the last one of this series 😭 Where to go from here? Oh how I love these guys ❤ Nora Pheonix really does an AMAZING JOB with each and everyone of these relationships in their own bit of the world with wonderful characters and ALL the feels. I have loved watching these men grow, change as needed and make a family of their own. I have laughed, cringed, cried, jumped for joy, happy, scared, loved right along with them. Like I said... all the feels. Each book it's own while carrying on the base of the story... LOVE IT!!!!! Thank You, Ms. Pheonix for an absolutely wonderful journey!! This will be forever on my All Time Favorites Series.
What a great series this was! Perfect if you want to try Mpreg/shifters for the first time, BTW. One of the best series there is.
Everything came together in this last book. I was happy the writer took the time to wrap it all up in this 300 pages book. It’s always sad when a great series comes to an end but Nora Phoenix already promised a spin off! I’m so on board with that...
I’ve loved this series from the beginning. Although the books have been up and down, the final book was perfect. A great ending to the saga I pretty much use as a hallmark for alpha/omega/Mpreg books. So much feeling in this book. Things I’ve wished for and things I didn’t know I needed.
Thank you Nora for great characters and the introspective into what power really is.
