Omega Royals #1
Knot Quite A Fairytale
My fairytale is finally within reach—right up until the moment the Everhart Pack rejects me in front of the entire royal elite on Omega Selection Day.
Every year, the most powerful alphas in the world gather beneath Ravencroft Hall’s glittering chandeliers to claim their destined omegas. For most, it’s a night of champagne and gossip. For those of us chosen by the Council, it’s the moment our whole lives have been leading toward.
I’ve dreamed of this since the day I was designated an omega.
My parents wanted me to chase prestige, not pack life—but all I’ve ever wanted is a warm home, a loving pack, pups underfoot, and the freedom to use my art to make the world better. I want the family I never had. The belonging I’ve always been denied.
The second I step toward my Council-matched alphas, everything shatters.
Ranier Starling sneers that a commoner could never stand at his side.
Bastion Silverwood leads cruel laughter.
Wyatt Whitlock lies—boldly, publicly—just to humiliate me.
Everhart Pack has rejected every omega before me. They’re out of time, out of chances, and one more refusal means royal disgrace. They need me.
I refuse to let the future I’ve worked for slip through my fingers.
So when they extend their roses, I accept—not as a meek little omega, but as the woman who will teach three arrogant alphas exactly what it means to earn a mate. Because crowns can be taken, power can shift, and even the lowest-ranked omega can bring a royal pack to its knees.
KNOT QUITE A FAIRYTALE is a 75,000‑word standalone contemporary omegaverse romance with no cliffhanger perfect for fans of the Princess Diaries and Bridgerton. Expect MFMM (no MM), omega royalty and a guaranteed happily ever after rejected omega, ugly duckling, motorcycle rides, and found family in this cozy and spicy romance.
Step into a world where the underestimated rise, the powerful fall, and love rewrites the rules. Claim your place in the pack.

Matched to Power, Denied Love
I liked this book, but it also left me deeply frustrated and that’s not a bad thing. The concept of a ruling council that matches packs is incredibly intriguing, especially when our leading FMC, Emery, is assigned to a royal pack far above her station.
Emery is an omega who stands out immediately, not just because of her cotton-candy hair, but because she comes from common folk and is an artist with a gentle, expressive soul. On the day of selection, she is publicly shamed and rejected in a way that’s both humiliating and heartbreaking. What I loved, though, is that Emery doesn’t crumble. She doesn’t back down. Despite everything, she still moves in with them, holding her head high even as her heart takes blow after blow.
Pack Everhart, unfortunately, is hard to stomach for a good portion of the story. These three alphas are so wrapped up in class, status, and ego that they fail their scent match repeatedly. Ranier, the head alpha, is rigid and cold, with a superiority complex that causes Emery constant pain. Bastion is an adrenaline junkie who barrels through life making reckless decisions with no thought for the consequences. Wyatt, the youngest, is glued to his phone and social media, emotionally distant when it matters most. I was genuinely ashamed of how these alphas treated Emery, they saw her bond but refused to honor it.
My biggest issue is the lack of grovel. For the amount of pain, rejection, and emotional damage they inflict on Emery time and time again, the redemption felt insufficient. She deserved more accountability, more remorse, and far more effort from them.
That said, Emery herself is a powerful FMC. Her strength is quiet but unyielding, and you can feel her heartbreak in every scene, especially as she keeps smiling through the pain. She carries this story on her shoulders, and her resilience is what ultimately made this book worth reading for me

For those who never give up and give in for their own reasons
This was a fun, quick and quite quirky take on the rejected commoner mate trope that has been seen in Omegaverse and Shifter/Paranormal romances.
Our FMC has just finished Omega Finishing School and is ready for her Claiming Ceremony, however, the event unfolds in a strange way. Her scent matches don't want an omega. Having been burned in the past by another omega and still traumatized by the loss of one of their own Alpha, these alphas aren't wanting to give into this season's claiming ceremony too easily.
What unfolds after is a low angst take on what happens when our Omega FMC decides to take what I would consider "the high road" by being kind, giving and offering support to Alphas who have done nothing to show her that they deserve her. Will they take the bait she is luring or will their town's very own Gossip Girl orchestrate Emery's downfall in this royal pack?
Without giving away too many spoilers, I will say that there wasn't much groveling but more forgiveness. I am left with a few questions concerning certain characters and storylines but realize there are two more books in the series that could focus on characters mentioned in this novel.
While this is not my favorite Iris Aster book, it is a fun addition to her Omegaverse world and I can't wait to read more!

confused
The book seemed good at first but it kind of flat lined and never really gave us direction. I’m not sure what was happening they reject her but she refuses? Then the packs a mess but the story is messy too like so many ways it could but I’m not even sure what the story was about. I don’t think any omega would have been chill with been treated so alone and they didn’t want to do the heat but then show up and she’s chill with that?

Heats and candy
So cute and fluffy, this author took our sweet little omega named Emory and natched her with a "Royal" pack for all she wasn't.
Rainer, Bastian, and Wyatt seem to have it all but are really busy fumbling about till Emory. They try to reject her, but stubbornly, she won't let them do it.
So sweet, a little bit of OWD, but more just men who are men.

February 7, 2026I DNF @23% so I won’t offer a star rating. I guess I didn’t realize it would be a “fake it til you make it/enemies to romance” novel, and that’s not something I enjoy.
So I won’t say it’s bad. It’s just not for me.

Light, quick omegaverse RH — there is a bit of drama but nothing too over the top, especially considering this is a standalone. The dynamics of the relationships were fun and flowed quite naturally.
