My life isn't a fairytale, even if I wish it was.

I've been raised on stories of soulmates and happily-ever-afters, causing me to yearn for a pack and omega of my own.

But I've been told over and over that no one wants an alpha female like me. Not that I know how to be one.

On what feels like the worst day of my life I find Grif, the sexy, giant forward, in my airplane seat. The connection between us is molten. If he wasn't a beta, I'd swear he was my scent match. My soulmate. My perfect omega.

The chemistry between me and the rest of the pack is just as hot. There's Jonas--a tattooed, blue-haired, alpha defender; Dean--a huge omega goalie with a thing for bread; and even AJ--a well-dressed, grumpy, alpha investment banker.

I want to be Grif's alpha. I want them all. But can I face my past and alpha-up?

Finding the Forward, Part One, is the first half of a why choose omegaverse hockey romance duet. It's m/m/m/m/f, and ends on a cliffhanger with an HEA in part two.

She'll be their Greatest strength...or their biggest downfall.
