Runt of the Litter by N.J. Lysk

A young insecure alpha, an older omega determined to keep his freedom, and the injustice neither of them can permit to go on.
Lyall is failing at alphahood like a pro—he’s presented, but he’s still too skinny and too short, and nowhere near aggressive enough to put off his packmates’ constant reminders that he looks a lot like an omega. They have him convinced he’ll never be worth anything.
Tristan doesn’t want an alpha: he wants to give other omegas a chance at the freedom he’s carved out for himself. He’s figured out enough loopholes to keep himself unbonded and free to do it, but he’s still only one person and there are a lot of people who need to hear what he is teaching. When he meets Lyall, he realises the young alpha would make an ideal assistant.
Their meeting is brief, but their connection is undeniable and as they work together with an ocean between them, it gets harder to deny their own lives have been changed forever….
