Mature story -- Sex makes them stronger. We’re at war, and the Zolano warriors need women in their furs to enhance their fighting performance. They’re known for their skills in the battlefield and in the sheets, so it’s easy for them to get volunteering women who gladly rut them in the name of patriotism. Then there’s me. I’m not there to have sex with alien warriors. I’m there to clean their dishes and laundry, straighten their sex-wrinkled sheets, and hope I don’t anger any of these beasts. Of course nothing goes right. The General comes up to me, asking me to lift my skirt. I somehow avoid fainting, and stutter a “no.” He’s shocked. I’ve never seen this man shocked before. I’ve never seen him looking anything but bored or angry. There’s a dozen women here who wouldn’t dream of turning him down, but the General wants me— his quiet maid, the human with the plain body and the backbone to reject him.

Riley Steele, a 26 year old omega, is ready to do whatever it takes to get accepted into a special unit in the army full of alphas, and the people standing in his way are not shy to take advantage of that. With no choice but to accept the abuse, Riley's wish comes true, and he is finally allowed to join Tactical Team 07 with a promise his life will always be hell, and the people he should be most afraid of are not the domestic terrorists trying to bring back the good old ages when omegas had less rights than tablespoons. No... It's his allies he needs to be afraid of. But maybe this team, TT-07, is different. Maybe these alphas don't mind fighting with an omega. Maybe they don't see him as fair game, a toy to use. Maybe his new partner, a grumpy older alpha, Reid Bishop, doesn't actually hate his guts like it first seems. Maybe he has found his family in this team. Maybe they see him as their brother, as equal. But it is certain there are people who hate to see a strong, skilled omega in their precious elite alpha army, and will do whatever it takes to ruin him and break his spirit.
