The Wolf and Bear's Dragon Omega

Omegas of Animals: SD #1

by Lorelei M. Hart, Wendy Rathbone

Fate doesn’t care about ancient rules. Too bad dragons do.

Alpha bear shifter Zevo is ready to move on from his job at Animals. When the opportunity to help scout out a new location presents itself, he’s up for the challenge. Getting to see the one who got away while he was there had nothing to do with his decision—really it didn’t.

Alpha wolf shifter Aras can’t believe his luck when he gets the call from his old friend and crush. This time he’s going to let Zevo know how he feels, even if it means risking losing him forever.

Omega Humphrey is ready to be his own dragon. Living under his family’s shadow his entire life, he’s ready to spread his wings. If only it was that easy.

When the three of them meet, their beasts immediately recognize each other as mates. Everything would be sunshine and roses if Humphrey’s flight didn’t forbid their mating and call him home. Can true love overcome ancient laws to help them find their happy ever after?

The Wolf and the Bear’s Dragon Omega is a standalone sweet with knotty heat M/M/M shifter mpreg romance set in the world of Omegas of Animal. It features an alpha bear looking for more than a new career, an alpha wolf ready to settle down, a billionaire omega dragon ready to be accepted for who he is and not who his father is, true love, fated mates, an unexpected clutch, all the nesting, and a guaranteed HEA.

I liked this one. While the plot is what you can expect from a low stakes shifter fated mates, there was added interest. From one corner, simply because it is a triad. From another, because Humphrey's complicated family adds to the dynamic. An auspicious beginning to the San Diego branch of Animals

I loved The Wolf and Bear's Dragon Omega by Lorelei M. Hart and Wendy Rathbone. It's an Omegas of Animals series spinoff romance. I loved Humphrey, Aras, and Zevo. I loved that Dragons lay eggs and make nests and are irrational during pregnancy. It makes them so loveable and adorable. I also loved all of the sexy times they had together. I look forward to the next book in the series.

I'm loving this new spinoff! Zevo and Aras have a long established friendship but taking the leap into being lovers has them a bit nervous. They both are feeling the pull for their third and the way they kept missing one another made me shake my head. Humphrey knows that his life isn't back home and his inner strength only intensifies with finding his mates. He loses everything and his only regret is missing his family. Zevo and Aras support him in every way, giving him all the love and family he needs.

So sweet

These guys are just so sweet together. Humphrey was so much stronger than everyone wanted to believe. I'm glad he got to be happy.

When your gut is tingling, listen! Zevo, alpha bear is tasked with scouting a new location for Animals SD in San Diego. He touches base with his old friend Aras, alpha wolf. They each secretly crushed on the other, but never acted on the feelings. Humphrey, omega dragon is attending school with plans kept from his family of not joining the family business or flight. He knew there would be dire consequences, but he needed to be true to himself. They were all in town at the same time. As they geographically orbited around each other, their animals recognized their presences. How long will it take them to meet? Will Zevo find a good location for Animals? Can they accept a mixed species relationship? How bad it will it be for Humphrey's traditionalist family? The journey of the courtship is fun, tense and intense. Good story. Nicely done.

Aras, & Zevo have been friends for a time but lost touch and just now met up again. They know they have chemistry but miss something or someone. They are drawn to a coffeehop and literally bump into Humprey and he is there missing link and fated mate.
In general I enjoy the Onegas of Animalis series, they are predictable, quick to read
This book was just like that, but had a very thin story line around it. I had very few attachment points to the characters, other that they are just loveable and sweet to eachother. There is a bit of angst in relation to Humprey and his family, but that all works itself out .So for me it is a 4-.

REMARKABLE

Oh, I loved this Book!!! WENDY RATHBONE and LORELEI M HART have written a absolutely REMARKABLE shifter romance. Three of my favorite shifter types. Aras is a Wolf, Zevo a Bear, Humphrey a Dragon. This was written with love and thoughtfulness. It checked all the boxes for a MAGNIFICENT Book. Great job you two for a story that made me want to hug someone. I really loved this combination of shifters. I'm looking forward to the next Book!!!! I HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!

**********Contains Spoilers**********

I enjoyed this story. All the books in the Omegas of Animals Universe are short insta-love books, which I sometimes just need to read a happy, sweet and little to no-angst book. This book is about a throuple of mates. An alpha bear shifter Zevo, an alpha wolf shifter Aras and their omega dragon shifter Humphrey. I thought their chemistry was off the charts. Zevo and Aras have been friends for years, and have secretly had feelings for each other but because they’re both alphas it’s not readily accepted by their pairs. They haven’t seen each other for about 4 years. It isn’t until Zevo is sent to San Diego to scout out a new premises for a new Animals nightclub location for his brother Warren and his mate Karma, does he get to reconnect with Aras.

They acknowledge how they feel about each other but have no idea a way forward, then Zevo stops in at a coffee shop and his bear tells him to stay but he has to leave and as soon as Aras gets home does he tell Aras about the feeling he felt at the coffee shop and that he didn’t want to leave. They come to the conclusion that the reason both their animals react to not wanting to leave the coffee shop is because their mate will eventually show up. The staff at the coffee shop tell Aras to leave as him and his friend acting weird like sniffing the door is creeping out their other customers. He gets up and leaves, and runs into the chest of their mate. Humphrey is the omega son of his flight alpha.

Humphrey’s flight is all about wealth. Humphrey feels repressed and pleads his case to be able to go away for college, and then after graduation he’ll head back to NYC and work in one of their flights businesses. Humphrey has been saving money and putting it is a personal account as he knows that if he decides to leave, he’ll leave the flight with nothing. Humphry’s beast is telling him to go to the coffee shop that he went to the first day he arrived in San Diego so he heads there, his dragon tries shows him an older couple sitting at a nearby table that are clearly in love, and a third younger man with a baby comes along and the way he greets the two older men it’s obvious that they’re a throuple and Humphrey finally clicks what his dragon is telling him that he has two mates.

Humphrey finally meets one of his mates Aras as he’s leaving the coffee shop and they go meet Zevo. I loved how Aras and Zevo always forgot how much Humphrey was worth, it showed that they didn’t care about his money. As soon as Humphrey’s parents cut him off after he’d mated them two (non dragons), they were a*seholes and even cancelled his flight home, and cleared out his personal accounts since the flight paid for his flight home. It’s tradition after all. He rung up his mates in tears and they just paid for his ticket home, and picked him up for the airport. They love him unconditionally. I loved that they got in touch with Humphrey’s parents and told that their door is always open, as they’d do anything to make sure Humphrey’s is happy. I’m glad that Humphrey’s parents came around, and found a loop-hole with being able to give Humphrey funds from the flight, in shares as they weren’t listed in the flights bylaws. I’m looking forward to reading book two, The Red Panda and His Mates when its released. I’d recommend this book, series & author to everyone.

Could not put this book down
I have now got a new favourite genre and that is M/M/M. There’s just something exhilarating and exciting about how the three people interact and how they work together as a team. I was just so excited reading this book and I just could not put it down.
Alpha shifter Zevo Works at animal. But when his brother and sister-in-law ask him to go and scout out new locations he’s definitely up for the challenge. And what he’s really looking forward to is meeting up with his best friend alpha wolf shifter Aras. Karma talks him into giving Aras a ring to see if he could stay with him. And of course that is not an issue at all. Zevo and Aras Have feelings for each other but as two alphas it never felt right but now they were going to see where these feelings were going. Because Meeting up again, it is obvious that these feelings are still there.
Omega Humphrey Is a dragon shifter and his family have a lot of expectations on him. They want him to stay and go into the family business and find a dragon shifter and mate. But he has different ideas he wants to go to college and get an education and move away. He Manages to find work for the summer and this is where he’s Beast starts acting peculiar. when he goes to a coffee shop his Dragon keeps telling him to stop! to stay ! Humphrey doesn’t understand.
When Zevo walked into the coffee shop it is obvious that his mate has been there. He gets Aras To go with him and he feels the same. It is obvious that these two alphas have the same omega mate. Now they just have to have patience to see if he comes back. And it takes weeks until they finally meet.
Humphrey is a firecracker of an omega. And he makes these two alphas weak at the knees. But they have problems ahead because he is a dragon shifter will his family cause problems for them??
I just could not put this book down I so enjoyed the dynamics of this group. I enjoyed that Humphrey was his little firecracker and made these two alpha so so weak for him. I’m gonna say I am a huge fan of M/M/M. It was just something exciting and exhilarating and I cannot wait for the next book in the series. I also enjoyed how the alphas came together. You could tell straight away that these two had deep feelings for each other but it was just never right and now everything slots into place fate has a wonderful wonderful future for these three. I just cannot wait to read more in the series.

This is the first book of the Omegas of Animals spinoff series. As I loved the previous series, I was expecting more of the same. I was not disappointed. I really enjoyed this book. I have not read may M/M/M romances and was not sure what to expect. This is a love story. Between each couple separately and then all three together. This is the story of Zevo, Aras and Humphrey. Zevo is an alpha bear shifter. He is sent to San Diego to scout a location for another Animals Bar and Restaurant. It also gives him a chance to reconnect with his friend from 4 years ago Aras. Aras is an alpha wolf shifter. He misses his best friend and welcomes the visit. Both men realize that the person they love is each other but socially that creates a problem. They are two alphas. It is then that they realize that there is an omega out there for both of them. Humphrey is an omega dragon shifter and son of his flights alpha. He is straining against the constraints and old fashioned traditions of his flight. He is in San Diego for a summer job and plans to continue his education. Fate drives all three of them to a coffee shop and they finally meet up. Three fated mates together. Zevo and Aras don't fully understand all the flight implications and rules. Humphrey tries to ignore them and enjoy his freedom but he is called back home. Flight tradition and rules are brought into play. While it hurts Humphrey, he knew what would happen and his mates endeavor to help him. Zevo and Aras don't care about money or status. They just care about Humphrey. This is a true love story. I enjoyed Karma and her mate showing up in this book. It was a nice link to the previous series. I am really looking forward to the next book in this series, book two, The Red Panda and His Mates when its released.

Alpha bear Zevo and alpha wolf Aras, have known one another for many years. Coming of age during a time when is was absolutely frowned upon for two alphas to have an intimate relationship, they were forced to deny their real connection and move on. During that time, their lives were unfulfilled. Never finding a mate. Establishing a new shifter club brings them face to face, under the same roof and having to come to terms with their raw emotions. Yet there is a missing piece to their HEA puzzle.

Omega dragon Humphrey comes from a flight of means. Expected to follow the hard-line traditions of the dragons - find a mate (fated or not), work to continue building the hoard, become completely disowned if you deviate from rules of the old ways. Determined to find his own independence, he manages to slice a few moments of freedom through his education. Returning for a summer position at the university, takes Humphrey on a series of fast and unexpected changes.

After a series of hits, misses and side-eye glances at the coffee shop, they finally meet and everything moves at a progressive pace. The Achilles heel in all of this was Humphrey's dads. The mental hold they had on him was horrendous. After the way in which they disowned him, I was livid. Regardless, his mates were there to provide all the support he needed. But we saw the toll it took on him throughout this book. He had to learn the value of a hoard... his real hoard.

As a first from the spinoff, it is just as enjoyable, if not more so, than the original series. I do love Karma and Warren. They always know how to make an appearance, leave their mark and quietly exit a room.

Let us see if George, Humphrey's brother, ends up with two fated mates. He really deserves a book.

Je regrette d’avoir acheté ce livre si on peut appeler ça un livre. Il ne se passe rien pendant toute l’histoire, pas de développement de personnages, de relations entre c’est dit personnages… ils sont plats, l’histoire est plate… ça aurait pu être intéressant si on avait montré plus des eux alphas amoureux la profondeur de leurs sentiments vis à vis l’un de l’autre, plus de scènes d’intimité entre eux…. Mais rien. Une fois qu’ils ont su l’oméga existait, devait être le 3ème c’est devenu un insipide MMM alpha oméga alpha, qui n’est point différent des autres bouses de ce même types. Scènes de sexe répétitifs, focus sur l’oméga qui finit par jouer le rôle de la femme déguisée en homme. Sans surprise, la faible petit chose qui tombe naturellement enceint typique et indigeste à force. Sans oublier l’un des personnages mis de côté (aras) la 3ème du carrosse en somme. Zevo a eu droit un fils (ours) mais l’autre rien pourquoi… à chaque fois qu’on s’est retrouvé dans le pov d’un perso c’était pour dire des platitude… j’éviterai de parler de l’épilogue qui n’apporte aucune plus valu à l’histoire… franchement flemme ce genre d’histoire c’est juste de l’arnaque et ça atrophie le cerveau. L’art et la manière de rien de faire passer du remplissage pour de l’écriture. C’est comme si j’allais au cinéma pour regarder un Marvel sans super héros Marvel et sans super méchant et juste pendant deux heures voire un truc pépère lol La blague. J’aurai trop la haine!!! Pff j’aime les MM oui mais avec un minimum de crédibilité et moins de débilités.

Bear shifter Zevo and wolf shifter Aras were very close in college. They were best friends and more but because they were both alphas, they knew they could never be together. They went their separate ways. Then Zevo's bosses at the club Animals sent him to the coast to scout out a new location for their club. Karma even suggested he look up his old friend. When the two meet, they realize that their feelings are still very strong. However when Zevo goes to get breakfast for the two, he smells a scent that has him excited. He has found his omega. To his surprise, Aras is just as drawn to the scent as him. Maybe the two are destined to be together and share an omega.

Humphrey is an omega dragon shifter who doesn't fit in with the rest of his flight. His family is very controlling and expects to pick his job, his home and his mate. Humphrey wants to spread his wings and gets his family to agree to a special summer job that should help him in his future career. To be allowed to move away he is expected to live in the family's house on the coast and check in with his uncle weekly. Desparate for freedom, he agrees. One day at a coffee shop he smells a scent that keeps him coming back over and over. He learns that he has two fated mates, a bear and a wolf. However if he mates with them he will lose his hoard and his family.

Alpha's Zevo and Aras have been friends for a long time, and while they have felt a pull between them, they never acted on it, believing that it would just hurt in the long run when one of them found an Omega. When Zevo has to scout a new location for his job, he calls up Aras to stay with him; both of them are pulled towards a coffee shop, but they can't figure out why; all they know as they are close to being kicked out when they run into Omega Humphrey. Humphrey has had to argue with his parents to attend college away from home since it is something that dragon shifters don't do. When he recognizes Zevo and Aras as his mates, he knows his family will have a hissy fit.

While I'd never read the series that this book spins off from, I didn't feel I was missing anything in the long run. Zevo, Aras, and Humphrey were a blast to read about, they each had insecurities and things they were sure about, but they could overcome them pretty much by trusting each other and their relationship. You can see Humphrey's strength by standing up to his parents since he knows that his life isn't what they want for them. Zevo and Aras support him in everything and allow him to spread his wings with love and support.

Cosas buenas :
Es un romance m/m/m de cambiaformas.
La quimica entre los 3 fue instantanea, caliente y creible.
Es una lectura rapida.
No hay sufrimiento ni drama innecesario.

Cosas malas:
Practicamente no hay historia que contar mas alla de 3 shifters que se gustan y viven como pareja desde que se conocen... lo que hizo al libro bastante aburrido para mi.
No hay conflictos ni problemas que resolver (aunque pensé que los padres dragones serian los villanos y darian mas problemas, no sucedio, lo cual pudo haber sumado algo de sabor a la trama...)
Para ser un libro protagonizado por cambiaformas escondidos entre humanos y demas criaturas fantasticas no hubo nada de accion y misterio.
Sentí que el libro fue demasiado largo para narrar sobre el emparejamiento de 3 hombres que se quisieron desde el minuto 1.
Lo mas aburrido de todo fue la gran inversion de paginas al final para mostrar el embarazo del dragon.
Y a pesar de ser un trío quise leer mas escenas +18 que sentí faltaron al final del libro.

I loved this book! Great world building. I absolutely loved the characters! Zevo, an alpha bear, and Aras, an alpha wolf, have been friends for years. Both wanted more, but an alpha/alpha relationship just wasn't done in their world, and something was missing. Omega dragon Humphrey wants more in his life and accepts a position at the university he just graduated from, with much reluctance from his family. The three men are powerfully drawn to a coffee shop and their respective animals don't want to leave it. They sense something important about it but can't understand why. Until one such trip and Aras and Humphrey run into each other and realize they are mates- the three of them meant to be together. A really sweet story. I loved it. 5 stars

[kymagirl · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lovely shifter romance story for Aras (wolf), Zevo (bear), and Humphrey (dragon). Aras and Zevo are alpha friends who've known one another and been attracted to one another for years but have never acted on their feeling for one another as alpha-alpha relationships aren't looked on too well in the shifter world. But things change when their animals keep trying to get them to hang out at a coffee shop, where they ultimately find their omega, Humphrey, who's been the missing piece in their romantic lives. The romance and dynamics are really fun in this story. Easy read as Aras, Zevo and Humphrey go for their HEA with just the right amount of angst to add some interest.

Coffee shop stalking

This was a cute story with an interesting mix of shifters and very little angst. It did start off on the slow side, but picked up once they finally met. I liked that Zevo, Aras, and Humphrey became such a tight unit and the only problems they faced came from outside their relationship. The cameos from prior characters of Animals, especially Karma and Warren, was fun and I enjoyed meeting the leprechaun. The book seemed a bit longer than necessary, but was still a nice way to while away an afternoon.

[Sara Barney · Rating 5 out of 5]

Animals does not disappoint and I loved this unconventional pairing… um more than pairing I guess. I can get behind an Alpha/Alpha relationship all day long but it is cute when they do find an omega for both of them. The Wolf and Bear’s Dragon Omega was sweet and delivered steamy scenes from Zevo, Aras, and Humphrey. I loved how they were all there for each other when Humphrey’s flight made things difficult for them.

A bear, a wolf, and a dragon what could possibly be more fun than that

I'm too old friends from college who were crushing on each other back then end up living together temporarily, things start to get a little crazy. When they're out and their beasts don't seem to want to leave where they're at, they know something's odd and about to happen. When it finally does life becomes even more crazy. This was an excellent spin-off story of the original omegas of animals. I can't wait to read the next book I'm looking forward to it.

Wolf, Bear, and Dragon!

This was a great addition to the Animals franchise! Arabs and Zevo have been best friends and in love with each other, but never acted on it. When Karma sends Zevo to San Diego, they reconnect and are stirred up y their animals. Eventually, they realize they are waiting for an omega to complete their triad, and that is where the dragon fits. Humphrey has a lot of family/dragon drama, so there is a lot of relationship building here and a lot of good family interaction, along with a wonderful HEA!

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Zevo and Aras had a crush on each other for years but they were both alphas. The reason for not acting on the crush became apparent when they met their omega, Humphrey. They mate but Humphrey loses his family and hoard at least for awhile. His fathers acted as tradition dictated but his brother found a loop hole. I believe Karma also had a hand in it. I'm getting really curious about her.

“We were a train off the rails and heading for a ditch.”

Zevo and Aras have been friends for years, and if they weren't both Alphas they'd take a chance on being more.

Humphrey is working on his degree, and while he knows he doesn't want the life his family has mapped out for him, figuring out exactly what he does want is harder.

This done in one Kindle Unlimited quick read is a great story about family, and a dragon coming to understand and appreciate his true hoard.

It is different story.

Zevo and Aras are college friends but are alphas. They both love one another but never admit it. They both have a pang when they visit a coffee shop; their beasts know a mate is coming. Humphrey is a dragon shifter trying to be out from under his parents' controlling force. He too has the pang that a mate is near. It happens one night at the coffee shop and love and bonding become real. It comes at a cost to Humphrey.

[SFBookReviewer · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Wolf and Bear's Dragon Omega: is a sweet shifter MMM romance story between a dragon, a bear and a wolf. The romance between Humphrey, Aras and Zevo is emotional and the characters at Animals are interesting and adds some color to the overall story. A good quick read with lots of heart and a HEA.
