Red River by Eden West

River is a submissive omega, and that won’t change.
This isn’t a story about him finding independence;
it’s about an omega searching for a traditional, dominant alpha.

——————-
Twenty years ago, a young omega named River saved a man from a burning car, and it felt like love at first sight. The man was mature and dominant—everything River had ever dreamed of. Believing he had found his perfect match, River ran away from home, certain this alpha would fulfill all his dreams.

But reality was far from the fairytale he imagined. The alpha isolated him from his loving parents, filled his belly with children, and turned out to be neither as strong nor as protective as River had hoped. Still, River accepted his life—until everything fell apart.
When his husband suddenly died, River was left alone with five young kids—including a rebellious teenage alpha son, who was beginning to take over as the head of the household. River knew this was dangerous. If he didn’t find a stable alpha figure to guide his son, Family Services might step in and take the boy away.
That’s when an unexpected opportunity arises.
Archer, a fresh college graduate, offers River and his kids a home in the large house he recently inherited. Archer has admired River ever since he was a boy, having a childhood crush on the beautiful omega with long red hair. Now 22, he may seem too young to take on the role of a dominant alpha for River and his strong-willed children—but Archer is no ordinary young alpha. With a strong will and strict discipline, he might just be exactly what River’s family needs.
Has River finally found the true alpha he always longed for? And, in the end… will he like it?
Or will Family Services intervene when tragedy threatens to strike once again?
