Sole Cure for the Ruthless Alpha

Botanist Ian is taken by Alexander, the empire's feared Alpha general, and forced to undergo Omega differentiation to soothe his genetic collapse. Their coercive beginning changes as pirate attacks and royal plots force them to protect one another. They uncover a conspiracy to control Alphas with an insect-derived drug called Abyssal Blood. Ian becomes a super-S Omega and develops an antidote, while Alexander leads a rebellion against the duke and the royal fleet. Together, the two men dismantle the empire's Alpha-Omega privileges, establish an equal-rights council and pledge their lives to each other.
