Weston and Ralph

The Red Valley werewolf pack follows every single omegaverse cliché known to man, or at least every one ever typed at three in the morning by a sleep-deprived romance author. Alphas are broad, broody, and allergic to emotional communication. Omegas are soft, scented, and constantly in need of either protection or dramatic sighing. Nests are sacred. Bonds are forever. And if there’s a rule, Red Valley enforces it like it’s written in moonstone. Weston, naturally, is the Alpha. He’s tall, devastatingly handsome, and has the kind of growl that makes junior pack members stand up straighter and romance readers swoon. His mate, Ralph, a male omega, is the perfect counterbalance—gentle, warm, endlessly patient, and far too kind for a pack that treats clichés like law. They are mated, bonded, happy… obnoxiously so. The kind of happy that makes others avert their eyes or gag loudly during meals. And yet. Something is missing. It starts, as these things always do, with an article. Or maybe a whispered comment from an elder. Or a half-remembered tradition dragged out during a full moon meeting. A “classic” bond, apparently, is stronger with three. Balanced. Harmonized. Alpha, omega, omega—or sometimes something more “unexpected,” depending on who you ask and how much wine they’ve had. Weston takes this very seriously. Ralph, being a man with a kind heart and entirely too much empathy, worries about everyone’s feelings first. They agree that if they’re going to do this, they’ll do it right. Someone soft like Ralph. Gentle. Sweet. Another omega would fit perfectly into their carefully curated, trope-approved life. But Red Valley has never been good at subtlety. And the moon, as it turns out, has a sense of humor. Because the third fate drops into their path is… not what either of them ordered. Not soft. Not quiet. And very definitely not another omega. Clichés, it seems, are about to be tested. 🌙
