Omega Hunted (The Raines Pack Book 1) by RJ Scott


A new omegaverse series set to knock your socks off. A pregnant omega being hunted and an Alpha that may just be the one man that can protect him. Cassian may have found a new reason to live - a new pack with Soren and a baby by his side.


From the blurb:

A bond torn apart by grief. An omega hunted by his own blood. A child worth a fortune to the wrong people. And an alpha who’d rather die than watch history repeat itself.

Soren was born into a world that had already decided what he was worth.

Not a person. An investment. A rare omega bloodline with documentation going back twelve generations, and a body that made him valuable the moment he presented. When his family forced a breeding arrangement that cost another man his mate, his life, and any say in what came next, Soren was locked away to give birth in secret.

Alpha wolf Cassian has been alone on his mountain for three years, with a shattered bond and no intention of getting involved in anyone else’s problems. His bonded mate died, and what’s left of Cassian runs the fence line at night and waits to be ready. He doesn’t take in strangers. He doesn’t get involved.

When his camera picks up a small shape crawling up the snowbank on the county road with one arm braced under a pregnant belly, he tells himself twice that this isn’t his problem.

Snowed in on a mountain with no way out, Cassian has weeks to keep a frightened omega and his unborn daughter alive — and no idea that keeping them safe will mean learning how to live again. But the family Soren ran from isn’t done, and the brother who wants his niece more than he ever wanted his sibling is coming to collect what he believes is his.

Omega Hunted is an MM omegaverse romantic suspense featuring a grieving alpha wolf, a pregnant omega on the run, a broken bond healing into something neither man expected, a desperate crime family, forced proximity, hurt/comfort, and genuine darkness.


SNik's review:

First in series (The Raines Pack). Omegaverse. Alpha/omega. Mpreg. Forced proximity. Hurt/comfort. Found family.  Very slow burn. Dual POV. Heed content warnings. 

Soren barely escapes his prison, carrying his baby, both of them with a sought after bloodline that makes them invaluable. When Cassian brings the pregnant omega into his sanctuary, he has only been living to keep his final promise to create a haven, but now finds his wolf wants him to live long enough to protect Soren and the baby. 

This was a fantastic start to a new series, the world-building was compelling and it was gut-wrenchingly filled with grief and hurt/comfort. Cassian is the epitome of a righteously protective Alpha and Soren is an omega that has fought to survive years of horrible treatment. I appreciated that Cassian never pushed and let Soren learn to trust him, and that Soren embraces Cassian’s past without trying to diminish it. Both Cassian and Soren are scarred but heal together and luckily surrounded by some supportive characters that are a true pack. I really enjoyed this and look forward to more from the Raines Pack.
