An alpha who won't dominate
A beta who won't surrender
A passion that...
breaks all the rules.

Thomas knows that as a beta he cannot expect to recognize his soulmate. He's no monk, but he's too busy with his hockey career and helping make his sisters' lives with his overbearing parents a little easier.

Uriel is an alpha but he knows he cannot bear the responsibility of bonding an omega. He has his work as a lawyer and also volunteers at an orphanage trying to help the children there any way he can. He's dated, but he is not willing to enter the kind of relationship an omega expects and betas never believe he will stay.

Except that betas cannot tell if someone is an alpha... And Uriel has no reason to mention it to a one-night-stand. But the fire between them might not be fated, but it's undeniable, and neither can stop at just once.

Are they brave enough to defy the world's expectations and strong enough to overcome the limitations of their own biology?

"Not Destiny" is a standalone forbidden A/B/O romance with a side of hockey and courtrooms and a sprinkle of social justice. It can be read before or after "Cracking Ice", the Alpha/Omega Hockey serial about Thomas's linemates.
