Mates
In this story, those with the alpha and omega gene are rare and erroneously assumed to be exclusively male and female, respectively. Betas know nothing of their strange, secret universe of scents, soul bonds, and sensual appetites.
First we meet Billy Hargrove, a guilt-ridden alpha from California who spends a year wading through personal tragedy and sexual awakening before being dragged two thousand miles east to the strange, sleepy town of Hawkins, Indiana.
Then we meet Steve Harrington, a nightmare-plagued beauty who always keeps a can of Farrah Fawcett hairspray and a nail-studded baseball bat in his BMW (just in case). He may not be a genius, but there are a few things he knows with absolute certainty:
1) He is straight.2) He is an alpha.3) He hates Billy Hargrove.
Steve will discover that none of those things are true.
