All my life, I was told an omega had to be three things—docile, dependable, and demure.
Three qualities I am most definitely not.
Darling Academy is designed to teach adult omegas how to please their alphas, but I’ve never fit in with the other girls. I don’t know the difference between a salad fork and a regular one, and I certainly don’t care where people sit at a dinner party.
My entire life is turned upside down when my dying twin brother is conscripted to attend Eros Academy, a brutal war school designed for the strongest of alphas.
The decision is easy—I’ll pretend to be him and go in his stead. It shouldn’t be too hard to balance two lives, right? All I’ll need is a scent blocker, a body suit, and a penis. Easy.
But Eros is not like Darling. Instead of dance classes, we learn how to shoot guns. Instead of politics, we discuss war tactics. Instead of planning dinner parties, we organize assault missions.
I also didn’t plan on Alpha Team X.
They’re huge, vicious, psychotic, and the newest instructors. All four of them are capable of instilling fear in anyone who looks directly at them.
Quickly, I find myself balancing two lives, both of which center around Alpha Team X.
I’m the “alpha” they torment on a daily basis…
And the omega they obsess over.
Either way, I have a feeling if they discover the truth, I’m dead.
That is, if the school doesn’t kill me first.
Knot What She Seems is a non-shifting, contemporary omegaverse that takes place in a world different from our own, where all of the countries are ruled by monarchies. In this book, you can expect knotting, nesting, heat, ruts, and possessive alphas who worship the ground their omega walks on. There are minor bully elements. This books contains no MM, no FF, and no OW drama. It is part one of a duet.
