I loved this story, honestly, I thought it was perfect (in its own silly and messed up way) that I kept recommending it to others. Of course I thought it was one of a kind, especially since a female alpha together with a male omega stories are hard to come by, more so if they're the center of the story itself. It was really refreshing, I liked how simple the setting was, but was led in more depth by the characters' past and characterizations.
Of course that doesn't mean that they're all that healthy, spoiler from here; since the omega used a fake compatibility test to show the alpha that they were compatible to have sex, it can easily be ignored, but when you think about faking a compatibility test to get into bed with someone who was sick due to their sex, it's wrong (of course we can argue that he didn't know that time, but either way faking something like that is still wrong). The alpha isn't all that innocent either, after they got together, contractually, because of their baby she started showing signs of being too possessive, even wanting to go and kidnap him and lock him in their house so that he'll stay even after their contract. That is wrong. I liked this story but I can acknowledge that those stuff I've said about them are not romantic in any way, both are unethical and are crimes.
But overall I still liked it when I first read it, I think the problem came when the side stories were published. I was very interested in the dynamic, I thought it was a separate story, like a what if situation, not their past life. Well, the experience was interesting, of course, their dynamic was completely different as well as their characterization, it wasn't that carefree as before and was more realistic on who was rich and who was the commoner. Being clip about this, it was horrific? It's been awhile so, yes, but the omega pretty much went away because he was going in heat, and he didn't want to have a baby, but the alpha due to circumstance, found them and had sex with them, giving the omega an unwanted pregnancy (taking off the cloth that was inside them, which was the condom back in the day) Which I can argue as rape since he didn't want it, but other factors such as pheromones come into play so that's a bit challenging, but non consent either way is rape, I don't consider being pheromone high as being able to give consent, it's like being drunk; additionally the alpha was more awake than the omega despite being affected by pheromones, they were aware of the mark too. Second was after that, when the omega was supposed to travel again, the alpha locked him up in the storage so that he can "think" about the offer of them staying, the omega went away, but had to go back because he was marked and because he became pregnant. Which the alpha was aware of, and used to her advantage; despite efforts from the omega to get the babies aborted. During all this the omega still had mixed feelings of resentment and "love" towards her, till he had to agree to stay till he gives birth. The conclusion of it was that the babies die in his womb, and in his last moments he was begging for his life, saying that the babies were a nuisance and that he didn't love the alpha, but he was denied care because of prejudice and because he was in critical condition, so he died with the babies anyways. And the alpha basically says that, she knows she'll just hurt him in every timeline so it was better for them not to meet at all, but that if ever given the chance, wants to make it up to them, which brings us to the main storyline. Honestly. That was not needed at all, that destroyed the thin layer of tolerance I had. Anyways, I stopped reading and recommending this story after that.
