Alpha & Omega
The Alpha & Omega series follows Anna, an omega werewolf, and Charles, the son of the North American Alpha. Their arranged marriage leads to a partnership as they solve supernatural mysteries and navigate pack politics. This series offers a blend of romance, mystery, and werewolf lore.
The Alpha & Omega series should be read in publication order, starting with the novella "On the Prowl" (which introduces the main characters) followed by "Hunting Ground," "Fair Game," and subsequent full-length novels. While each book features a self-contained mystery, the overarching character development and relationship progression benefit from sequential reading.
The Alpha & Omega series is a spin-off of Patricia Briggs's Mercy Thompson series, set in the same universe. Characters from both series occasionally make appearances or are referenced, enriching the world-building for readers familiar with both.
The series begins with the novella "On the Prowl," which is crucial for understanding the initial meeting and arranged marriage of Anna and Charles. There are also other short stories featuring these characters that expand on their world and relationships.
