In an Alpha, Beta, Omega society arranged marriages aren't that uncommon, especially for the 'old money' families for whom finding a worthy mate is a matter of careful planning and research, rather than just leaving it to 'fate' or 'love'. One such 'Old money' family are the Graves. Every mating in their family has been arranged, and the majority have been happy, harmonious alliances that have strengthened the individuals and the pack. But eldest son and heir, Percival likes nothing more than bucking tradition and isn't looking to settle down any time soon despite his parents, and really, whole family's nagging. It's unheard of for an heir of a pack to be unmarried when all their siblings are courted or mated but Percival doesn't care. He has no interest in relationships, he likes sex but doesn't want an Omega clinging to him. He didn't want mating, pups or commitment. Unfortunately his parents are determined that he grows up and have the perfect Omega in mind – Newt Scamander, the child of his mother's deceased best friend. The mating was planned by them decades ago. Percival rails against the marriage, but faced with loosing his whole inheritance, he reluctantly agrees. But after wedding and bedding a virginal Newt, Percival coolly makes it clear he does not want Newt, and they will be leading separate lives. It seems the perfect solution to Percival, except unknown to him, Newt has been quietly in love with Percival since he was young and had hoped that Percival would eventually return his feelings.
Newt lives his life the best he can. The pair live together, but they are strangers until Newt discovers he's pregnant. Percival's dislike of his marriage, hasn't stopped him sometimes drunkenly knotting Newt, Newt has put up with it, but now there is a child (or children) everything changes. Percival warned him against getting pregnant, so Newt does something almost unheard of; he leaves his Alpha, returning to England and his family home.
While society gives Alphas leeway, this is too much. Percival now forced to face the shame and wrath of his family and society, for a pregnant Omega to leave their Mate is shocking and so against an Omega’s nature, it is unforgivable for an Alpha to push their Omega to such a breaking point. Also, to his own surprise, Percival misses Newt, the house is too empty and cold. At first he tries to shrug it off, but any lover leave him cold and uninterested and only gets worse with time. Nothing seems to go right after Newt’s departure. Life is boring, the too-loud whispers of his treatment of Newt weigh heavily on him, and the dreams of Newt…of the Pup…their pup will not stop. Percival begins to realise maybe he'd grown to love Newt without realising it, he decides to win back his mate, traveling to bonny ol’ England. But Percival should have realised life isn’t a romance novel.
Newt isn’t willing to reconcile, has no desire to have Percival back, and seems so different to the Newt he reluctantly married. Newt’s family wants an annulment so he can find a ‘real Alpha’ and even the Graves are in agreement. Percival is shocked, this isn’t supposed to be how things go, surely he can win Newt back, after all Newt did love him once and there’s their Pup, they have a bond. But as Newt wearily points out life doesn’t work that way.
