As the author states this is a bit of a dark story with quasi-sexual consent in some areas. If you are not comfortable with forcible sometimes-violent foreplay you may want to read another story.
Thorec or General Thorec as he likes to be called is no longer fighting wars but policing the natives in a land his people conquered. He is summoned to take care of a trespasser who may be a rare Omega. Her scent causes him to revert to the more animal side of his nature. Ria is fighting against what her body wants when she and the general have a run in.
Thorec pretty much takex Ria the first time he’s with her. She also during these encounters of which she does eventually enjoy fight him physically which seems to increase her arousal.
The story itself is a bit basic in its telling. There is not a lot of explanation in the story it mostly centers around the physicality of Ria and Thorec’s relationship. Some more explanation as to why the Omega needs to have a more assertive physical aspect of intercourse may for some people get them past the squeamish almost rapey feel to them coming together.
Tone down the caveman like bedroom scenes, ramp up the story so we get a better connection to the world, explain more about some of the characters and why does Ria have magic? Some of the characters we are introduced to flesh them out a little, heck flesh out Thorec a bit and the story would be pretty engaging.
Despite Thorec showing his Alpha side repeatedly he does do some sweet things for Ria which makes them actually being a couple seem plausible.

ARC review I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. General alpha thorec find that he can’t resist the pull of omega ria after find her searching to find who she is but she is playing hard to get since she is not submitting till she finds what and who she is. Different.
Ria sure gave Thorec a tough time but what good is a story if he got what he wanted right off the back! Ria is a strong determined woman who didn’t take any mess from anyone and Thorec was captivated with her from the beginning. I loved this from the first sentence. It is well written, descriptive and the characters made this story exciting.

Wonderful addition to the Myth of Omega world! I loved reading Ria and Thorec. Ria was feisty in the best way and Thorec was a drool-worthy Alpha. Very well-done novella.
Another sizzling passion driven tale from the wonderful world of Myth of Omega series. Zoey Ellis has hit the mark yet again with Thorec and Ria. In this story we see a reluctant Omega try to deny what is inevitable, the colliding of true mates. Ria fears the loss of her independence that will surely happen if she dares to give way to the onset of complex feelings Thorec, an Alpha, inspires in her. Thorec is not easily dissuaded no matter how stubborn and challenging Ria wants to be. He will stop at nothing to make her accept what is already undeniable- she will he his Omega, and she will beg him for it. I absolutely loved this bite into an already highly addicting world. Thousand thanks Zoey for giving us addict one more hit!
I loved this novella! It’s so good to be back in the world of the Lox! Thorec is a sexy alpha. Ria is an omega, but tough and stubborn. The story has angst and their relationship is intense but also fun. Of course its also full of very steamy alpha/omega sex! There is a lot of character development, especially this being a short book. I loved both characters and their love story.
General Thorec was a frustrated alpha who had been hoping to find his omega. Ria is a very spirited omega who has her mind set on following a specific path which doesn’t include the General. She does lead him on quite the chase which in turn causes some very heated encounters. Even though this is a novella I thought that the storyline felt complete without being rushed. I loved that this book had an epilogue which satisfies my desire that the happy ending continues beyond the last page. Steamy quick read!
