Fated Omega by Aspen Grey

Fletcher Strong lives by a creed: once a Marine, always a Marine. He lost his mother, his father, and after coming home from war, became an artist with the hope of finding peace. A Denver curator, Chuck Nolte, has agreed to show his work, but when he sees him put his hands on a sweet, helpless omega, he knows that no matter what their arrangement, as a former Marine, he can’t sit by and do nothing. He has to act. Jessie is stuck. His dad is gone, his mom works too many hours, and to survive, he works at an art gallery for Chuck, his abusive ex who still thinks he owns him and wants him back. Jessie wants nothing to do with him, but one night after a gallery showing, Chuck won’t take no for an answer.

Fletcher is blown away when he catches the scent of his fated-mate, but there’s a big problem; Chuck thinks he still belongs to him and getting involved with him could put their entire arrangement and Fletcher’s career in jeopardy. But when he catches Chuck making very unwanted advances on Jessie, he makes a choice that will change everything.

Fletcher saves Jessie from Chuck’s grasp and takes him home with him. The two know that they are meant for each other, and Fletcher wants nothing more than to put a cub in his belly and bind him to him forever. But Chuck is furious, and vows to blacklist Fletcher from the Denver art community and destroy his career—or worse.
