“I will not be marked.” Neo said.

He turned his neck to look at Bryce. “Step back.”

The threat in his tone was clear. “Or I’ll make you step back.”

Neo was betrayed and left to die in the most important mission of his life. 

When he opened his eyes again, it was ten years later and the world had moved on without him. He, who was once the strongest hunter on Mars, suddenly became a civilian without any of his abilities.

Neo has to build himself up from scratch but his sync partners—the people who are supposed to be his soulmates—are set on holding him back and controlling him.

In addition, Mars has become something else and is no longer the home he dearly remembers. Neo’s return stirs up forces that are greater than anything imaginable as he takes it upon himself to rectify things.

His righteous actions gain him more enemies than friends. And somehow, his soulmates seem to be among those enemies.

Neo frowned. He didn't need to be told about it. It was common information to everyone, especially for omegas in powerful positions. 


"Neo…" His mother called out to him softly. "Syncing has nothing to do with submission. Syncing is acknowledging your partner. And it goes both ways."


"And it goes both ways too," she continued. "Accepting your partner and acknowledging them is not a one way thing. Both parties are responsible for syncing and no one is above the other in the relationship. In all relationships in fact."


"That's not true," Neo objected. "That's not true at all. Everyone looks down on omegas and Alphas are always the ones at the top. It is expected of an omega to—"


"There's no set expectation for omegas. At least there shouldn't be." His mother stopped him. "No one can force a sync bond. No one is above a sync bond. It's becoming one. But that doesn't mean that you'll lose yourself."
