HoneySweet, Part One

(This is the prequel to Lavender and Honey)

They weren’t supposed to fall in love. But some hearts find each other when they need it most.
Elias was meant to have a future. A promising courtship. A bonded pack. A family of his own.
Until everything was taken from him.
When a medical complication left him unable to carry children, the pack courting him vanished—along with their promises. His family, embarrassed by the broken arrangement, closed the door behind him. Elias was left alone with nothing but silence and shame.
Tired. Scared. Unwanted.
With nowhere else to go, he followed a whim and ended up in Heaven’s Rest, a sleepy little town where no one knew his name. There, a sharp-eyed older Omega took him in and gave him something he hadn’t known he needed: a home.. She taught him to bake, to craft, to create joy with his hands. And piece by piece, Elias began to find comfort again.
Then came the Alphas.
Lucian—a rule-bound lawyer with a reputation for being cold, except when it comes to the honey-sweet Omega who makes him forget the lines he’s drawn.
Soren—the brooding Alpha with a rough past, now under Lucian’s watch after barely skirting the law. Rough around the edges, but steady in the way Elias has always longed for.
Finn—the charming runaway from a high-society pack, hiding his heart behind a grin and aching for something real, something simple.
They weren’t looking for a bond. And Elias had given up believing one could still be meant for him.
But love doesn’t follow rules. And sometimes, family is something you build—quietly, carefully, and exactly when you need it most.
