[Applause]

[Music]

Hannah hey everybody and welcome to smut

club I'm Hannah and I'm am Chelsea and

we are two licensed mental health

therapists and this is the show where we

like to Day drink and review romance

novels of varying caliber MH and I know

we say it each time but like boy do they

vary they really do yeah yeah like which

I I do appreciate like it we explore

genres we do we do cuz I was like you

know this one I really enjoyed and like

it's not fully scent and everything and

so I was like well I don't know and then

I looked at the books that I have

reviewed recently and I was like this

one's fine

like and then you remember that the

first episode of the show's existence

was Denna Viper

and you're like we're good yeah I was

like I don't have to fully send everyone

and you know maybe when we get into it

because there have been times where I'm

like this

one I'm going to do it though and then

we get into it and I'm like oh my God

like

H perspectives

change very much so yeah so all that to

say what is today's book so we are

actually doing a two-parter so this is

the first part of the book the scent of

us the duology the scent of Us Part One

by Eliana

Lee no yes so we are going to be in the

Omega verse okay it's been a while it

has been a while we have we only done

one Omega verse book before I think I

think it was just the one it was like

the uh

influencer one the with the stalker yeah

and like the Rival influencer pack yeah

were her scent matches or okay yeah yeah

which is wild of all the books that

we've reviewed mhm you yeah cuz I feel

like we read more in the Omega verse we

do I think they're harder to review

because there are often so many oh my go

Partners involved and so it's a lot to

try to keep track of and so we're going

to do our best in this

one cuz initially I was like okay so

there's like three that she's involved

with with JK there's four JK there's

five JK there's maybe six it's like so

much well so we're going to get in I was

going to say don't don't tease me with a

good time we're going to get in but also

six dicks is Too Many Dicks It's So Many

Dicks so as as we've discussed

previously the logistics the logistics

of six dicks at a time it's a lot to

manage yeah unless there's sword

Crossing it's just there is oh thank God

yeah for their sake SPO yeah for

everybody's sake really um so our

main lady is Juno um and this

one starts dark and gets less dark so

we're starting with the darkest part

here um

so we enter on Juno this is all third

person but it is from different

perspectives um like at a section at a

time or kind of like how Suzanne Wright

will do multiple perspectives third

person kind of interchange chapter to

chapter so it's easier to track so Juno

um she is sketching um alone and she is

an Omega bonded to three alphas and she

does a lot of dampening her bond because

this was a bond that she did not consent

to and so she doesn't want to be in it

they are very terrible people okay so

this is not like a a scent match bond

this is a like

mhm was she bonded against her consent

yeah so it is not good but she does a

lot like I said to dampen the bond like

to protect herself okay and also to

protect Julian who is the beta that the

alphas hired as like her companion

because they didn't want to actually

deal with her

so they hired this beta to essentially

look out for her okay um so is this like

a a trafficking situation did they just

want to have an Omega so they could just

like get off when they wanted to so they

are like a criminal Syndicate it's three

brothers okay and so we'll get into how

she wound up with them because that's

kind of a big part of the story um but

she loves Julian and he brings her gifts

and like every day he checks in and he

says you know 1 to 10 because they're

almost always monitored like there's

video cameras in the house and stuff

like that um and the one time he touched

her because he was catching her when she

tripped on the stairs he was there was a

lot of punishment that happened because

of that so they don't touch they don't

okay so companionship but like with with

very set parameters and boundaries and

I'm sorry you may have said this how

long has she been with them um I think

it's been 2 years okay at this point um

so Julian every day will ask her 1 to 10

MH and she will give a number of like

how she is like if she's doing okay or

not um and so Julian brings her like

gifts and art supplies and stuff um and

um you know we that's like our uction to

Julian and into the situation so she is

sketching again on the couch that's kind

of her only Outlet is sketching Julian

is gone for the day um pack Z is the

pack that she's in oh I forgot this is

in

Australia oh yes omega's down under

omega's down under in many ways and

um many of the characters are of like

Chinese or Filipino descent kind of

throughout so um she is Chinese and

pagow is Chinese um which isn't doesn't

have a a huge bearing on the story but

it is helpful in some aspects so um they

bonded her essentially to clear her

father's debt so as soon as she perfumed

he set it up and then during her first

heat he essentially her dad sold her to

them and that's when they bonded her

um and they're constantly complaining

about her emotions through the bond how

she's all emo and stuff and like D D D D

D um but there's a new story on about

dissolving pack bonds and like a one

oneway pack

dissolution um which previously wasn't

possible it had to be a like Mutual

agreed upon thing to dissolve a bond but

there's all this new stuff coming out

about like it could happen um when I

feel like that's one of those

interesting things like within the Omega

verse cuz like some places you can

dissolve a bond and some places it's

really till you die yeah it's deaf for

Keeps so this is interesting that is it

like

a is it a pill you take how do you

dissolve it we get there oh sorry you

know me I'm just always asking

clarifying questions and you're like

Chelsea it's literally what we're to

[ __ ] do more will be

revealed so um we we switch to Julian he

is in love with Juno like madly in love

with her um PX out trusts him because

they think he's gay um because they

caught him with another man um and they

were like you're a beta and you're gay

you are literally no threat welcome like

you work for us now so really they're

they're not afraid to make quick

decisions and ask no questions they're

not great um they're a little annoyed

with how emo she is it's like it's

almost like they didn't bother to get to

know her before they bonded her against

her will yeah yeah it's almost like they

put no thought into their impact on

others um so he's desperate to help her

and um he's done things like the power

went out and he went and like took

pictures of a ledger that he found and

like random little things like anytime

he sees an opportunity he tries to do

something but all their their case

against yes them but all their ledgers

are in Chinese and he's like son of a

[ __ ] I really should have paid

attention to Mandarin [ __ ]

so um he's like they gave me the option

in school of Mandarin versus Spanish I

took that one semester and I can say

comistas it is not serving me In This

Moment damn it so Julian's family is

also Chinese um but he like refused to

learn Chinese he's like I'm not doing

that um like he can speak it some but he

can't read it so Juno hides a note in a

drawing that she does for him telling

him to contact the Omega commission

about the bond dissolution trials

because they

aren't it's not widely offered yet it's

kind of theoretical we're in like we're

in a testing phase yeah we're not FDA

approved or whatever the Australian

equivalent is um so he calls

but it like the call doesn't really go

through and he's like that's that's

weird but it is after hours I'll try

again tomorrow and it turns out that

pagow had his phone bugged and so they

throw him out they destroy his family's

business like like they literally buy

the building his family lives and works

in cuz they have a restaurant and they

live above it they buy the building and

evict them immediately and they like

destroy his whole family and they're

like you will never you will never come

back here like damn your dad will never

work again and that's it for you

bye um and they say like if you come

back for her we will end you like that's

it Juno will pay the consequences so now

she has nobody so um

she

is freaking out understandably rightly

so yeah um but they show her they have

also videoed her and they're like we

will release these videos of her during

her heat um if you try to leave us if

you try to contact

Julian you know we're going to ruin you

um and so they can't or you could just

like endear me to you you could just be

nice like it doesn't have to be this way

it baffles me sometimes both in books

and in real life where I'm like have you

considered being

kind no okay well carry on

then like have you considered just like

maybe not being a dick in this situation

no never crossed their mind not a single

time so they can't leave her alone

anymore CU they don't trust her and

Julian had been their answer to that and

they no longer have him and so the pack

is balanced because only two can leave

the house at the time leave the house at

a time and so two of the brothers are

out um Eric and Vincent are out um while

she is home with Andrew who is the pack

lead and she's giving him updates

through the bond like they're out doing

a job so she'll be like checking in

she's like yeah they're excited they're

content they're confident you know so

that he understands what's going on but

then all they're not he can't sense them

as well they're all just they're

centered on her centered on that's also

interesting yeah okay so they have not

bonded each other they have only bonded

her oh yeah yeah which I feel like isn't

typical of most pack setups that we read

about but also they are all

Brothers right so I get where maybe that

that feels a little different yeah and

okay that makes more sense well there's

a lot in this one and this is part of

why I wanted to review it that is like a

a different take that I actually really

liked and that's kind of part of it the

way they set up packs in this

universe but all of a sudden she has

this excruciating pain like brutal pain

and she's like Vincent is dead like one

of the brothers is dead and Andrew loses

his

[ __ ] understandably but then she is

happy and relieved because he was the

most brutal with her and he's like are

you happy about this like it and she's

like you're okay she's like cover it up

cover it up and she's like oh my God I'm

just so happy that you're okay and Eric

is okay I think and like she's like I'm

so relieved no I'm not happy that he's

dead I'm happy that you're okay

exactly does he believe it yes yeah but

I think he's so

like shocked by the whole situation and

also they've done nothing like you said

to get to know her so they probably

wouldn't know if she wasn't being honest

cuz they don't care um so her parents

and her brother come to the funeral okay

um and

they are like the most her parents do

they're like are you taking care of your

Alphas are you doing like what a good

Omega does they're not like hey are you

okay cuz like a bond breaking is brutal

like are are you all right none of that

her brother tries and she's like yeah

dude like too little too late [ __ ] off

like she is not interested in having any

kind of relationship with her family at

all which is understandable um I mean

when they sell her into the situation

and then are like you're doing what

you're supposed to in a situation you

didn't consent to right yeah yeah it

doesn't I don't know why I don't know

why maybe they

after that yeah yeah so Vincent died in

a bad drug deal and Eric retaliated and

killed the person who killed Vincent so

he is currently on house arrest awaiting

trial for murder so the pack is like

deeply unwell right now like obviously

things are very unbalanced and not okay

and Juno is realizing like she really

really has to get the [ __ ] out of here

because now they're talking about like

we should have a baby that'll make it

better and she's like will it like I

don't [ __ ] think so I just like have

so many questions about how these

brothers think the world Works

they their perspective and mine very

greatly because what so she is like

oh I know what I'll do cuz they're like

we can just cut out she has like an

implant she's like oh we'll just cut it

out cuz initially she was like okay if I

go to the doctor like maybe I can do

something and so they're talking about

like ways around it and like when you

say an implant like like in her arm like

like a like next plon is that the one

that's the arm one I thought it started

with a

D I had the arm one so I should know

that

it was not a great experience yeah many

people I've known have not had good

experiences with that I feel like some

people I know are like it's the best

thing that's ever happened to them and

those are the people that I talked to

before I got it and I got it and then uh

realized there were a lot more people in

my Camp of like my moods were so labile

and I was just like bursting into tears

all the time and my libido was so low

and I was just

like I don't like feeling like a crazy

person because of this in my arm and

then my practice was like I called in

June to get it out I got it I got it

Valentine's Day okay in June four months

later I was like I need this the [ __ ]

out I've had enough so I call and they

go okay the soonest we can get you in is

like September

12th and I was like cuz I had said I

needed an appointment after 3:00 p.m.

and they go okay the soonest we can get

you in September 12th okay I guess I'll

take it if I can't get anything before

that and then I call I was like you know

what I'll like figure it out with work

so I call back I I'll take the soonest

appointment that you have regardless of

the time of the day and they go okay we

can get you in September 13th [ __ ] off I

was

like I'm just gonna hang up on you guys

at this point oh no but also Vance and I

were getting married in October oh and

so I was like at that point I was like I

canceled the appointment I was like

we'll just like figure it out post

wedding at the appointment after we were

married my doctor was like oh yeah we

can always get people in quickly for

things like this and I was like I need

you to communicate that to your team

because that was not my expi you're the

only one who is saying that yeah and

she's like

oh so what birth control do you want to

switch to now and I was like not one

with you if I can't get in like I was

like what delusional world are you in

that we're going to continue our

relationship

no it came to you for one thing and it

didn't go

well did I ever tell you about I the

very first gynecologist I went to I

actually really liked her and she was

really great but then like over the

years cuz I saw her for a long time I

felt like things got different in the

office like the vibe was different like

like with like the front desk stuff yeah

and then like her vibe was different

suddenly she was wearing like high heels

and like lots of jewelry every day which

is fine like maybe you're just adjusting

your your aesthetic that's

cool but then I didn't have cable or

anything at this point I think I was in

college and I was strictly streaming or

whatever and I was in a hotel and had on

Bravo MH and a commercial for Married to

Medicine came on and my

gynecologist was on it and I remember

sitting there with the girl that I was

rooming with I don't even remember why

we were in this [ __ ] hotel but I like

grabbed her arm and I was like that's my

doctor and

I

tears I was like 20 years old and I was

like oh my

God I never went back but I did would

see her at a Starbucks because for how

large like the Metro Atlanta area is

it's also small with like the

neighborhoods you're in and you move in

you know I saw her out of Starbucks and

obviously I didn't say anything cuz I

doubt she would remember me anyway but I

saw her and she was getting into like a

brand new Porsche and I was like cool

cool cool cool cool cool cool I've made

correct decisions

like and you're like like more power to

you yeah but also you're there is

something about being

like but you're my doctor and now you're

doing this on TV in a way that

feels and like the the the the

commercial was like her fighting with

someone like screaming in someone's face

and stuff like it's not just like oh

she's on this like re no I was like oh

my God like are you okay like holy [ __ ]

you're like it felt like watching my

doctor on the Real Housewives of Atlanta

and then be like I'm going to keep

having you look at my vagina closeup no

yes you're correct on all fronts so I

never went back and I found a new

doctor but

anyway

so so that's not Juno's experience

thankfully her doctor is great because

what happens is she starts she's lactose

intolerant and so she starts sneaking

whole milk to make herself sick so that

they can feel it through the bond that

she is truly in physical pain so that

they will take her to the doctor and

they don't know her well enough to know

that like it's just a dietary concern

that's very preventable correct [ __ ]

yeah Juno Juno is like she's a queen so

surprised well maybe not surprised and

I'm not judging anyone for staying in

their situation but I'm like how long

were you working on that plan all you

needed to do was drink some real milk

but I guess she was waiting until so the

other piece of it is the doctor who put

the the birth control in implant in

before was like under their employ and

so like wouldn't have worked out for her

but they found out at Vincent's funeral

that that doctor actually died oh and so

they didn't have anybody to like take

her

to and so she's like oh well you know if

you want to we can go get this checked

out and make sure that like I I am able

right to have kids but we can get my

implant removed at the same time like

this is and this is why men shouldn't be

in charge of women's reproductive

medical decision foolish dude [ __ ]

foolish we'll get this checked out to

see if I can still have kids and she's

like I really just needed to make the

switch back to almond milk she prefers

oat but yes

so do

I I well I'll say this I prefer oat milk

creamer yes or if I'm going nut milk I'm

going to go cashew milk say cashew milk

is where it's at yeah like the heavier

fat creamier mhm mhm mhm don't say it I

won't I saw it coming out of your mouth

oh no I like that you also saw the

resignation that I was like damn it

creamier or cream

M he made it

worse death didn't make it better we'll

say that much okay so they go to the

doctor um and

so the she's trying to figure out how to

let the doctor know cuz they're refusing

to leave her side she doesn't have a way

to like pass them a note or anything and

so she's like okay

[ __ ] so the doctor asks for a urine

sample and when she goes in there's a

little sign on the door that says hey

use the black pen if you're a good to go

use the red pen if you need help and so

she uses the red pen but not only that

but she writes like SOS on it because

she's like I need them to know this is

like this needs to happen right now like

I'm really not okay and

so then like 10 15 minutes later like

the doctor rolls in and is totally stoic

and like pretending nothing happened to

the point where Juno's like oh [ __ ] like

she saw it right and then the doctor's

like wait for my sign she's like is your

arm numb she's like poking it and she's

like and Juno's like oh no I still feel

it she's like okie dokie and then the

cops just like bust

in and so Juno is rescued at that point

well we love that yeah and this is is

another reason why I liked this story is

because we then Flash Forward 3 years

she has gone through the bond

dissolution trials she was successful in

dissolving the two she had remaining um

she has been in therapy this whole time

she is living in an Omega only

Community um she works in a coffee shop

she is going back to school for graphic

design um and she has done so healing so

like we a lot of these books is like the

healing Journey this is like her growth

Journey you know what I mean and that's

kind of refreshing and also pause

because I know that we're about to go

three years in the future

M really love when doctor offices and

practices have yes like safe situation

setups like that um well and not just

doctor's offices but like when I waited

tables had like Angel shot things in all

of our bathrooms so people knew like if

you need an escort to your car you order

this shot if you need an escort like if

you need us to call someone right like

this one if you need us to to like call

the cops this one and so like we always

knew like yes um we had that available

to people um but I feel like that's

becoming more more prevalent I was even

laughing cuz there was like a post that

I saw that had like gone viral recently

where a girl was like yeah I was at a

out at a bar with my husband and my

husband just like messing around was

like kind of like hey baby like what you

doing here and another girl walked up

and was like Hey we're late for the

whatever and just like totally tried to

save her and she's like thank you so

much this is actually my husband it's

not like a weird roleplay situation he's

just being an idiot he's just like she's

like but I like really value you than

yes truly yeah and I think I've told you

I was on a first date once that was so

bad that when the guy went to the

bathroom the waitress came over and was

like do I need to call someone or like I

can tell them that you had an emergency

you could just leave

like yes having more awareness of that

as a whole is helpful so appreciated yes

um and also like the the care that she

received upon like getting out of that

situ we don't get tons of details but

like she went through really intensive

therapy but then the bond dissolution

was partially medication okay and then

partially what she had been doing to

dampen the bond so she would like do

visualization of like covering the bond

right with like something Gauzy so that

it would be quieter right that was kind

of also part of the process was a lot of

visualization of Imagining the bond like

a rope shredding uh um to like so she

already kind of had practice doing it

and she didn't even realize it so she

went through all of that and now she's

like been back in school remotely she's

getting ready to go back in person you

know she has friends she has a community

um of other other omegas who went

through the bond dissolution um she has

changed her appearance completely she's

dyed her hair blonde she has covered

covered herself in tattoos so all of her

bond marks are on her neck um and um

she's just like starting to live now um

and she has never forgotten Julian and

she's tried to find him over the years

online and stuff because she also moved

like across the country um which makes

sense right to feel safer and everything

so she's tried to find him

but there's been no Whisper of him on

the internet that she's able to find and

so um she's like you know that's okay as

long as he's safe and you know yeah away

from

them

so she gets tickets to this Art Exhibit

her best friend Hazel is kind of like a

a peripheral character throughout this

okay she gets a an a book in the series

that I haven't read yet but she has it's

an Omega fans um but it's like an only

fans for omegas and she makes [ __ ]

bank so she gets tickets to this Art

Exhibit that Juno has really been

wanting to go to I think it's van go um

and while she's there this Alpha comes

and sits next to her and he smells

awesome and he's trying to talk to her

and he like Smiles at her and this

dimple shows up and the direct quote in

the book is how dare he like as soon as

she sees his dimple she's like [ __ ] you

man like like cute aggression almost

um and then he's like hey what's your

name and she's like that's it's like she

comes back to herself and she's like oh

no like we don't [ __ ] do alphas and

she just takes off yeah so then she's

like I've made a lot of growth and

progress in my healing Journey but like

not like that not going there Le not

right now yeah like that doesn't that

doesn't quite feel safe yet yes and so

now she is starting her her class is on

campus she's in her first class um and

it's some kind of like marketing or

something um and in her very first class

um she sents the lecturer whose name is

Ari um and he is smells incredible and

she's like what is happening to me like

this has never been a thing we like are

they in the same pack no oh yeah okay so

um she is really EXC excited about the

class and so like once she gets over the

like oh he smells real good she's like

really into the content and just super

excited but there's a beta in the class

who is like hateful and she's just like

just because you're an Omega doesn't

mean you get to have him and she's like

have who our teacher what the [ __ ] are

you talking about I'm just here to talk

about advertising why are you like this

why are you like

she's like what is your problem

dude

um I know we'll learn more about Ari in

the near future but did you see the post

that's been going around the last couple

weeks about the uh UT

Knoxville Prof who is like hardcore

Millennial core and um whenever a

student falls asleep in his class he

just like goes up in front of them and

like screams emo lyrics directly in

their

face I've not seen that but I love it

like a kid like fell asleep and he's

like so tonight will be the

night it like wakes up what I have been

watching is cute cat videos on Tik Tok

set to like unhinged random Emo music

from the early as and it I don't know

why but it's so good I didn't know what

your Tik Tok algorithm was but I

I am

zero hear me

zero%

surprise it's very on brand for me to be

honest like when you tell me you post a

video of Fred with an insane clown posy

cat filter on Tik Tok I'm going to be 0%

surpris yeah I mean I I will is that a

filter I will find it I don't know if

that one's a filter yet but they had

that like Dapper cat with the top hat

and Mon and so I think at this point the

world is our oyster with filters if you

ask for an ICP pet filter someone I do

want that will make that I do want that

oh what a that's what you should do for

Matt for Christmas this year oh that's

such a good idea it's like the pets as

ICP and get it framed huge for your

front entry I've never even actually

seen

of your house so I don't even know if

you have a front entry yeah we could do

that but yeah you're welcome Matt you

don't even know have a portrait of Gizmo

that I got for Matt a few years ago

that's him as a king and he's like that

whole

situation I bet I could find somebody to

do Insane Clown posy I'm GNA have to

look anyway

also we are recording this pre holidays

but I know it won't drop until post

holidays so for the record Hannah is not

I don't know what when this episode will

drop I'm not planning 11 yeah this isn't

like 11 months

ahead but also I am that [ __ ] yeah I

know I know you are with your

spreadsheets no so my my mom's birthday

is

tomorrow and so my sister had been

trying to figure out where to send her

gift and uh so she text me she's like

hey I sent it to your house I was like

well no [ __ ] it arrived like two hours

ago thank you um and then she was like

yeah

I didn't want to pay for like the $5 bag

on Amazon like the the wrapping gift bag

and I was like yeah no problem I'm happy

to to rap it she's like thank God cuz I

hate rapping and I just went it gives me

a chance to practice your your bougie

ass folds for Christmas I literally said

I go don't even worry it gives me a

chance to practice a new fold pattern

before the holidays is a real text I

sent my sister

we should do an episode one day of like

real texts we've sent real people

because many of our conversations are

unhinged oh yeah that's very good yeah I

was like to be fair I tried that fold

pattern last year and I needed more the

hering

bone no okay cuz I feel like we

discussed the hering bone the Herring

bone you need a very specific box shape

for the haing bone yeah like the long

skinny I don't remember what what one

you need I just know it wasn't what I

tried it on but I remember thinking like

oh if the shape of this were different

it would land better but also I watched

a folding video on Tik Tok recently

where they like using wrapping paper to

like wrap a bottle of

champagne this woman had so many extra

supplies on hand I was like I'm just

going buy a [ __ ] bag I'm just going

to hang on the bottle of champagne like

this is like put a bow on

it yeah I'm like love the vision wholly

unnecessary like I don't need a 37 step

process I'll just buy a bag step one buy

a bag and scene nailed it complete so

good right okay sorry got us very off

track there I don't even yeah okay so

we're 3 years in the future oh the

professor the professor's the [ __ ]

beta yeah Juno is excited about her

classes and like getting into more

graphic design cuz art is her thing so

um then she is at a checkup um with the

doctor that she gets kind of through the

Omega commission for being a part of the

trials and

everything and um the doctor's like hey

honey so um your heat suppressants are

failing um and that's why she reacted to

those two Alphas cuz the doctor asked

she was like so have you noticed and

she's like yeah so okay so it's not

necessarily like that they were her

scent matches so much as she's just

thirsty yes correct got it so um the the

doctor is like so you have maybe 3 to 6

months before your heat will show up um

you have options we can't do

suppressants anymore like that's no

longer going to be an option we can do

Services you can go ahead and start

interviewing packs to support you

through your heat if you want to do that

or you can search for a pack match um

it's really up to you however you want

to do that um and she said yeah no I'm

not I'm not going to be with randos for

my heat even if I get to meet them

before like that's too much so they she

want a pack match no like she say like I

feel like she like at this point just

kind of like wants to be

asexual Almost 100% like she never wants

a bond again and she has no interest in

bonding and that's why she's been on

heat suppressants so like her best

friend uses heat services and like you

know kind of sex is like her like a big

part of her life but Juno has like cut

that part of herself really off um and

so which I mean understandable valid

understandable completely um so she

decides to go to the scent matching

department and so she starts

um they basically explain like a scent

match is not fate in this one right we

don't really call it scent matching

anymore like in the industry we call it

scent sympathetic and just because you

are scent sympathetic with someone does

not mean that you are actually

compatible with them it's so weird that

I I

like just imagining Boomers being like

you can't say anything these days you

can't say scent match you got to say

[ __ ] so thate that kind of comes up

later it's so bad so okay so um that

helps you know feel better um but

they're like is there a certain scent

that you really like that you want to

start with and she's like well there was

this guy at the Museum and he smelled

like coffee and macadamia nuts and

they're like beautiful we'll start with

coffee since we love you so much we are

here to support you like they're all

omegas who've been through the process

and so she goes through and she finds

the guy um or she finds the scent that

she's pretty sure and she gets his file

so there are his name is olly he is

Filipino he's a photographer super

successful guy there are two others in

his pack Isaac who is his um who is

alli's biological brother okay um who is

their pack lead so he's also Filipino he

is a CFO and then there's another who is

Everett a Swedish civil engineer we get

a lot of information from these

packets um so Everett was adopted by

Olly and Isaac's family so he is their

adopted brother um she likes Isaac and

Everett's scents but not like she likes

his right so she is s sympathetic she is

a scent match to olly but not to the

other

two um so the that's interesting right

and she's like Everett like maybe there

could be something like romantic or like

attractive for me and that but like

Isaac not really like I'm not really

into that when especially because I feel

like as you were saying before like

other Omega verse MH options one and

done it's like oh you're matching the

whole pack if you choose this versus

yeah very okay I'm very intrigued to see

how this plays out so the O the other

omegas cuz she's kind of freaking out

she's like what if I'm not into Isaac

like he's the pack lead like o and

they're like no packs look however you

want and they're sharing like their own

experience of like I'm with this Alpha

and this Alpha and this beta in my pack

but I'm not with this one and like we're

all connected because we've chosen to be

family and not just because of

sex um and so that really helps a lot um

and so she agrees to reach out to them

well and so like what I feel like I hear

you saying and tell me if I'm

interpreting this incorrectly is that

like

cool just because you are an Isaac's

pack does not mean that you are in

Juno's pack as far as kind of like how

like like she can bond with Olli but

wouldn't have to bond with the other two

then she could bond with others so she

can so she's the center yes and like

create her own pack and then they

they are still part of the family right

like they're all still connected but she

doesn't have to be sexually active with

all of them like it's up to her kind of

how she wants that to look um yeah very

different than a lot of Erse books for

sure yeah so we then get Isaac's point

of view so he is trying to comfort olly

um it's been two weeks since he saw this

Omega at the Museum and he has been un

traveling ever since um he's like she's

the most beautiful woman I've ever seen

and she smelled amazing and she was so

pretty and she was so nice and I I just

have to find her we have to find her so

they've been doing all this stuff to try

to find her and Isaac makes a joke of

like do you want me to like hack into

the Omega Village and see if she's there

and olie's like yes and he's like you

can yeah Isaac's like you think I can do

that like what do you who do you think I

am well you shouldn't have offered

you didn't have the skill set ISAC

literally oli's response why would you

even say that if you're not going to do

it also I feel like Isaac is an

underappreciated Old Testament name yeah

Isaac is a great name yes I like it a

lot um

so they've

tried everything they can think of they

like went to one of the Gallas at the

commission to try to see if maybe she

would be there like literally anything

they can do to search for this person

because Olly is just [ __ ]

off the chain about

it um but then a call comes in from the

scent matching Department to say hey we

have a scent match for you and they send

over a packet with her scent card her

photo and a video that she made to

introduce

herself and miles is the beta of the

pack and he is bonded to Isaac so they

are an item together um olly and M

the beta both have really strong

reactions to the scent which is very

uncommon for Betas but he was like oh

[ __ ] I'm into that I'm like oh

no when you know you know right

especially in the Omega verse yep and

Everett imagine having a deviated septum

in the Omega verse oh my God my little

sister had a deviated septum and poor

thing she had it corrected but it was a

lot for a long time for her a I know

and I've broken my nose so many times

it's a miracle that I'm not more yeah

welled about good news for you is you

don't live in an Omega verse also

helpful yeah that wouldn't have been a

great situation oh my God can you

imagine covid-19 in the Omega verse

nobody can smell anything oh

[ __ ] oh I bet somebody's written that um

I don't want to read it though it's

still too soon for me

covid-19 omega

it's still too soon for me you can't

smell or taste anything right you meet

your scent match and you immediately

hate them and then you finally get your

smell back like two months later and

you're like son of a

[ __ ] I think I just wrote that if

nobody else has I think I just did it I

mean I think you can confidently call

dibs on that storyline dibs yeah not

that I'm ever going to do it you know

what when you do I'll read it and I'll

outline it to review oh no

what Hannah if you wrote a book we would

review it lovingly I know if not

honestly but also

lovingly that's what I'm afraid of a no

that's not true I'm not afraid of that

it would probably be hilarious cuz I

would fully send it I would do it on

purpose I know and you know what we

typically just stick to day drinking but

that's the day I would make sure to take

an edible right before and after this is

a very special

episode our our co-host wrote the book

we're going to lose our [ __ ] over buckle

up everybody it will be the least linear

review we've ever had okay so uh they

get the call that uh he has a match and

they send the packet over and he's like

this is great news the one yes this is

the girl from two weeks ago so um

Everett is kind of into the the scent

Isaac just he's like it feels like she

fits but I don't have any like

attraction to the scent really um and so

he's like I have a desire to protect her

I want to get to know her but it's more

familial than romantic yeah you're like

it's not an unpleasant scent it's just

not a scent that like gets my dick hard

correct yeah yeah so they watched the

video of her his name miles miles sorry

trying to keep all the names straight

it's okay to ask again cuz it's probably

going to come up cuz it's a lot um so

they watch the video of her and she

explains that she is literally just

seeking a pack because her suppressants

have failed um she doesn't think she's

ever going to want a bond again um after

the last time um but she would like to

explore building a family she's like I

don't really have one and you know the

idea sounds really nice but I don't

think I can ever Bond again um and the

pack is like yep like everybody is like

we just we want to meet her we want to

get to know her yeah like it regardless

it feels like it's worth seeing if if

and how we can move forward right so

Olly is losing his [ __ ] he's the first

one to meet her so like they set it up

at the commission where like it's going

to be safe for Juno to meet them um and

they decide to send in just olly by

himself first since she's met him

already so she won't get too overwhelmed

and he's so excited he just starts

rambling about how um he like doesn't

want to scare her away and he got her

cupcakes and she said in her video she

was into creepy things and so he asked

them to put spiders on it and he he

hopes that that's not too creepy and

that she still likes the cupcakes and

he's just like okay so Olly is the

golden retriever 100% um and she's like

hey when he finally is like like cuz

he's been talking for so long she's like

hey hey would it be okay if I hold your

hand and he's like yes would be great

he's like yes please so the rest of the

pack comes in and Isaac is super

intimidating like really big presents

lots of like hard eye contact and she's

like holy [ __ ] and he's like looking

really intently at her like as he's

walking up to her and he like kind of L

leans down like he's looking at in her

eyes and she's like oh my God is he

about to kiss me because I don't think I

want him to kiss me and so she like

blurts out that she is not attracted to

him just out loud and she's like oh my

god oh [ __ ] she's like I ruined that so

fast she's like oh

no and he smiles and he's just like

that's really good cuz I'm not really

into you either and she's like oh thank

[ __ ] she's like oh my God okay that's

good um and Everett is like weird in the

background like really locked up and

like not really interacting with her and

she's like okay well like that's also

fine um but miles comes up and she is

super into his scent as well even though

he's a beta and um they're kind of

flirting a little bit and then she

realizes that miles is bonded to Isaac

and she immediately backs off and she's

like I am so sorry I did not mean to

like step on any bound boundaries or

like whatever um I didn't mean to

disrespect your

relationship and everyone is very

relieved because they were concerned

that she would not be okay with like

sharing an alpha even if she wasn't into

it okay um but she's like super

respectful of the whole situation and

Isaac and Miles both explain they've

talked about this before and they're

very open to like bringing her into

their relationship um but just so

appreciative of her coming into it ohz I

mean

her that she's like oh I'm realizing

that I'm walking into walking into a

pre-existing situation and relationship

and I'm not trying to step on any toes

as we navigate how to move forward which

we love we love and so does the pack so

they agree that they're all going to

date individually and as a pack um so

even though she maybe isn't romantically

into Isa

um and maybe with Everett um they're

still going to date individually because

it's important that they get to know

each

other so Isaac takes Juno this is very

fascinating it is like I really like the

dynamic in it um and it grows and

changes like as it moves and it's it's

very cool um and so Isaac is taking Juno

on a date to a fancy restaurant and

immediately Hazel like when Isaac comes

to pick her pick Juno up Hazel the

bestie is

like what are your [ __ ] intentions

like she's not into you so like you're

not going to try anything right like

that's been fully established she's like

bowing up to this massive Alpha was like

tiny Omega and he immediately is like no

of course like Juno sets the pace and

she decides where this goes and of

course I'm just happy to be here um and

I don't assume that she owes me anything

because she's an Omega right right and

so then Hazel immediately like shifts

gears and is like cool so you guys are

deeply in denial so uh just remember

that I told you so when you finally [ __ ]

and like goes away and they're both like

no like we literally just met like um so

awkward so don't we love an

overconfident bestie yes moving the

story along like dropping hints well not

even hints she's just letting you know

this is what's gonna happen well is that

like because I know she just said deeply

in now was that like when you were

reading it was it clear that like they

were like they're into not really it was

like they are open to each other as like

friends and wanting to get to know each

other and like he really wants to

protect her but they're and like

objectively they're both like yeah

they're attractive but there wasn't any

like holy [ __ ] which is usually how it

is in an Omega verse where it's like

immediately like lust driven like this

is happening right now I remember being

probably like high school age and like

talking to my parents like not

articulating it well but that like yeah

like objectively I understand that this

is an attractive person and I'm not

attracted to

them yes like I wish them all the best

yeah they are a good-look human and

I don't view them as a sexual being

right or at

least not comparatively to myself like

you know what I

mean but I remember my parents like what

do you mean like but like he like high

school crushes and things but he's like

he's cute and I'm like and that's it

yeah like he

is period no comma right like I can't

remember what it's from but there's

something that's like um yeah you know

congratulations about your face but like

the rest of you I'm not really

into right and even like a there's

nothing wrong with it it's just not for

me you aren't my person yeah and that's

okay yes and so like that's how I've

been like interpreting right Isaac and

that's how I read it as well so but for

hazel to come in and be like y'all are

in denial she's like somebody's about to

[ __ ] and so it's like so awkward when

they're on this date um but eventually

they settle and they have a great night

talking about like what she is hoping

for and how Isaac runs the pack and like

you know what it would look like for her

to be a part of that um and she tells

Isaac about Julian and Isaac is like I

will find him no problem give me all the

information you have about him no no

issue at all because they have plenty of

money and he's like I'm going to do this

do we know what they do does it matter

what they do so Isaac is a CFO of some

kind of like for 500 well well and then

Olly is a photographer which will come

up again and then Everett is an engineer

and it doesn't that doesn't really come

up again um you're like they have jobs

that pay them consistently yes is really

yeah they all make good money yes so

then um and miles is an architect also

makes good money but also not on a way

where it's like and they're all each

individually ridiculously wealthy

billionaires generational wealth out the

ass right but you know we wouldn't lump

them in with Eat the Rich but like

they're fine

so man people talk about being a dual

income household with with no kids

quadruple income household with no kids

polyamory looks better and better I got

to tell

you and you living in North Georgia is a

huge very open polyamorous Community

yeah it's notoriously very accepting in

my area um North Georgia they're known

for their Progressive

mindset oh so when Isaac gets

home

miles also says like hey so you know

that you're into her right and Isaac is

like no I'm not I just want to protect

her and I think about her all the time

and how I'm going to protect her right

he's like Isaac is like miles you are

still my number one I'm like kind of

she's all right like she fits in the

pack but like I don't want to bang her

and he's like okay

honey he's like whatever you say um and

then eventually like it comes around to

like Isaac is like Hey so uh or miles

asks did you tell her that we all got

tested and Isaac is like no it didn't

come up how was I supposed to bring that

up like what the [ __ ] and he's like you

should probably do it she's into you and

miles is like super love that this fals

to me that's great I get to talk to also

cuz there's really no way bring it up in

a c way to casually bring it up that

doesn't sound presumptuous right like

hey

FYI I don't know if you're into it I'm

into it what I do yesterday afternoon

I'm glad you asked I reviewed my recent

test results oh what test let me tell

you about it like it's like somebody

recently told me they were like yeah so

I started seeing this guy and um on like

our fifth date or something we went and

got tested together and then got ice

cream I was like that is incredible and

I love it so much um yeah it's very good

no I def like had an ex who I was like

doing some math I was like when was the

last last time you were

tested yeah might be something that we

need to do and it was like when he told

me like he was so proud of himself but

he was like before work I went and got

tested this morning I'm like you don't

get a cookie for right thank you like

why why are you saying it like that yeah

I was kind of like uh and and until we

get those results back yeah I was like I

did some math and I just need

some we just want to be extra safe you

know professional confirmation before

anything else but yeah I was like

oh nothing like getting some blood drawn

at 7:30 in the

morning I'm really happy for you

like thank you I was once trying to keep

my face straight in

session because a client was like

Chelsea

I was sleeping with this guy and it was

our first time and he asked if he needed

a condom and I was like yeah you do and

then

like mid thrust he whispered in her ear

you make me want to get

tested

nope

nope and I've thought about that for

years that is a rentree moment for sure

that is a rentree that'll live there

forever you make me want to get tested I

was like and obviously I did not ask

this by any stretch in session did he

but in my head I was like and did you

dry up like the Sahara like why was it

an immediate Dismount like you're like

and I'm out I'm like that is

a I don't know if that line really like

progresses the moment like

he it

so remember this failure at dirty talk

remember it so it's much later but miles

then is taking Juno out on a date and

Isaac had said like hey like she really

wasn't into the fancy restaurant I took

her to she seemed kind of uncomfortable

um and so Isaac takes her out for all

you can eat hot wings and uh a ghost

tour hell yeah I'm a

vegetarian even I think that sounds like

a great dream date dream date for me um

and so um you know what I'll eat all of

those sugar fries from Wingstop on this

date before the ghost T her so um she

like is clinging to him and they're like

jumping behind each other and stuff in

on this ghost tour and he's like I am

[ __ ]

brilliant he's like I nailed this [ __ ]

this is the best day ever

so he asks her to come back to the house

also let's give miles that like truly a

great like he should feel every ounce of

Pride yes he has earned it literally

especially being like okay knowing what

her previous experiences are trying to

like think out of the box find something

new something easy and

just yes like way to go miles way to go

and he even got like a private ghost

tour so it was the two of them and the

super creepy tour tour guide and like

this old jail it's so good there's a

place just outside of Nashville cuz like

yes there's like haunted houses Haunted

Woods there's ghost tours they did like

a canoe Le ghost tour and they were like

we like the river they're like there's

like a cemetery at the bottom of like

the lake or the river wherever it is and

they're like and so we go directly over

the underwater C

Cy I was like at night in a canoe in

October like that's not warm water yeah

and I was like oh you've definitely like

upped the creep Factor on that I'm like

that sounds super fun but I'm also like

I wouldn't I feel like I like wouldn't

do that experience with just anyone cuz

I was like I need to make sure that's a

level of trust yes yeah that's a level

of trust for real are you a person I

trust enough to get into a canoe in the

dark with in October over a cemeter

cemetery that's intense yes but like

that's when Matt and I go to new places

we always do a ghost tour because it's

like a really fun way to like learn the

history of a place and like be creepy

even when we went to Arizona last year

we did a ghost tour I don't think it

ever occurred to me that Arizona was a

place that readily offered ghost tours

oh it's like they apparently because of

the all of the quartz that is there they

say it's like a like a mecca for

Supernatural activity it was super super

fun yeah we went honestly what a great

idea of like ways to like learn the

history and like low stakes entertaining

and it's like a walking tour of the city

that you're in and you like get to see

like the cool architecture and stuff

that's a great idea mhm we always do it

highly recommend so Miles honestly like

truly would have won me immediately

you're like even if we weren't a scent

match I would have been down for that

[ __ ] with no problem exactly so um he's

like hey do you want to come back to the

pack house for ice cream which again

immediately yes you've won

me and she is like is that code for

sex and he's like no but we have all

been

tested I was expecting like a no unless

you want it to be yeah no so he then

sends it in the group chat to the the

pack and he's like Juno's coming back to

the house for ice cream and ever is like

is that code for

sex and Olly is like we have ice cream

like it's awesome um so we have ice

cream he's like we have ice cream so

they do have ice cream and then miles

just like blurts out we've all been

tested and um Juno is like oh uh and

that like kind of takes her out cuz she

had been kind of into it but it takes

her out because the last time she was

tested was after she was rescued and she

hasn't been with anybody since um and

so miles is like hey that's actually

really helpful to know are there any

other triggers what else do we need to

be aware of like not even during sex but

just like in general being with you what

would be helpful and so she runs down a

list she's like I don't want anyone

using an alpha bark on me no pain no

restraints no hair pulling um and no

asking me to present and he's like like

he he is so upset that like all of those

things would hurt her um but he is like

really grateful that she was willing to

tell

him so um then they wind up going back

to his room which is like super

depressing it's kind of empty because

he's usually in Isaac's room um and but

he is just so sweet to her they're

making out and then my notes say finger

blasting and he is insistent that it's

all about her like he's like nope that's

not what this is about I don't want you

to reciprocate and she's like cool cool

cool but like could I watch you like cuz

I would I'm into that and he is like I'm

also into that he's like if that feels

safe to you literally yes he's like I'm

just happy to be

here and um then they just snuggle and

they have like a really nice

time so then alli's date is at the zoo

and he is obsessed with her and like

watching her like get so excited about

all these little animals and he's like I

wonder if it's legal to adopt a Mir cat

she loves the Mir cats and he's like so

into it it's not cuz I've looked into it

myself lest we forget the Mir Cat Tattoo

yeah I forgot about that until this

moment that Mir cats are my spirit an

spirit animal unless that is at this

point in life considered cultural

appropriation in which I apologize for

the term spirit animal and I'm just

going to say it's my favorite animal

that I just feel like I deeply identify

with every time I see one super

connected to it yeah I get it mhm um to

the point that my husband got a tattoo

of a

mircat for me and then I also got a

tatue of

air also for you but I also got a

penguin for him and they're right next

to each other so I got a penguin and a

mircat together I didn't just get a

tattoo this is for me which I is also I

guess technically the rest of my tattoos

if I'm being objective yeah I guess

that's really what tattoos are anyway

anyo so he's like I wonder if I can get

her into the giraffe enclosure she loves

the giraffes and he's just like so

excited to be there with her and like

trying to figure out how to make her

happy he plans like a whole which one is

she with at this point olly who

match the actual scent match so sorry I

know you said it I just like much so

like please continue to conf the four so

many so afterwards they have a picnic

lunch and she draws all of them as

animals um like gives them all cute

little characteristics and stuff so Olly

is the otter miles is the monkey Everett

is the kangaroo and Isaac is the Panther

and he's like well you have to draw

yourself you didn't draw

yourself and he's like oh my God you

could be like a cute little bunny or a

cute little kitten or a cute little and

he's like naming all these animals um

and he's like but

also you could be a snake um and like if

you didn't want to be cuddled you could

be a danger noodle I'd still cuddle a

danger Noodle and she's like danger

noodle the [ __ ] but she draws herself as

a snake and it's a very cute little

moment for them um danger noodle I know

it's so cute

um so they are openly communicating with

each other about like her level of

comfort and everything because he's an

alpha so she's a little uncomfortable

but they do make out and it's really

nice and then now we're with Everett so

she's on a date with Everett and Swedish

engineer the Swedish engineer um and she

is not looking forward he is not looking

forward to his date with Juno um he

courted an Omega before who was his

scent match and it did not go well okay

um that's an interesting yeah so she had

been incredibly bigoted and awful

towards miles and Isaac and didn't even

think miles should be a part of the pack

and was incredibly hateful but he didn't

know that until after he'd been courting

her for a while and then there was this

like subtle shift and then like very

obvious

shift um and so the guys were like hey

if you want to go be with her like

that's okay like we won't hold that

against you and he was like absolutely

why would I choose her if she's going to

be this hateful to ex people to people

that I love so Juno is completely

different and he's trying to kind of

like find his bearings with her

reconcile his previous experience yeah

for sure and so she he takes her to a

food truck Park but then he's like this

was a mistake because there are so many

different food trucks she's like well

the fastest way to get all the food we

want is to split up right and he's like

I cannot let her out of my sight he's

like oh no like his Alpha instincts are

riding him really hard okay and so she's

like hey just sent Mark me honey like

I'm

hungry so he's like oh okay like this is

actually maybe okay and so he starts to

loosen up and he's like oh damn I'm

actually really attracted to her and her

scent is pretty awesome and like this is

more fun than I expected

and she's not a horrible bigot yeah

she's really lovely and she's covered in

tattoos and he's covered in tattoos and

so they start arguing about the most

painful tattoo placement what was their

determination well he was like it's

definitely the ribs and she was like

it's definitely the throat dumbass and

he is like like well do you have a

tattoo on your ribs and she's like no do

you have a tattoo on your neck didn't

think so and so they're like doing this

really cute banter which is also fair

and I would agree with him that the ribs

are a [ __ ] and a half the ribs is rough

but I also don't have a throat tattoo me

either by comparison I do have a sternum

situation you have a sternum tattoo so

the so I have one that goes across my

ribs and up on my sternum what yeah I've

known you for how long and I never knew

you had a sternum piece yeah so it goes

under both my boobies all the way around

and then up onto my sternum like not

super that several years it's like right

right here you mean like where your

sternum is yeah no makes complete

sense well I'm like it's not up high on

my

sternum it's like right smack between

the titties yeah but okay

question yeah because for for those of

you that um have maybe only ever

listened to audio have never seen photos

of Hannah Hannah and I are both covered

in a decent amount of tattoos but

Hannah's left side is all black and gray

yep and then her her right side is her

color side

correct so how does your sternum piece

work it's all black and white oh okay I

have thought about adding color to the

yeah the right side um but um it hurt a

real bad

um and I'm like you know and this one

was probably one of the ones that was

the most for me and so I'm like you know

I don't think it needs color but maybe

someday I'll feel differently but it's

the phases of the moon oh okay um

because it's like a a maiden mother

Crone kind of like yeah I'm going to

make you show me when you're no longer

on

camera um but there's roses and like a

geometric situation and like yeah so

um um yeah so the part that's on my

sternum is like part of a there's a

triangle in it so it's the top of the

triangle and then there's a crescent

moon on top of the triangle um and I

could feel the vibrations in my face

because it was like vibrating my sternum

and so like I had one big fat tear that

like rolled down my face and my best

friend was with me and she's like do you

want some chocolate and I was like no I

want you to shut up please like I love

you so much please be quiet like it was

awful um it's the only time like because

it is wrapped around my ribs and I have

tattoos on my shins and on my

feet it's the only time I have one even

that's like almost in my armpit but this

the only time that I was like I have

made a mistake yeah well cuz like I have

the one on the inside of my left arm

like the shading is like really close to

my armpit where I was like oh like [ __ ]

I can't do that any further and then the

one on my ribs has a lot of packed Black

Ink yes and I also got it within like 6

months after being married and I'm

pretty sure that's the least I've

weighed in like you know what I mean so

I'm like oh like my ribs were a little

more prominent than they are in this era

of like

um but I have also been like the

difference between like my side rib cage

like my sternum rib cage I'm like that

is just a level of

sensitivity yeah well and what's Wild is

the spot right below the rib cage I was

like you can live there it was like

nothing but as soon as she hit the bone

I was

like [ __ ] me I was like you're like I

made a horrible mistake yeah yeah yeah

yeah well not not quite the same um and

not on the front of the throat but my

best friend's husband on their honey

moon got her name on his neck um and I

was like hardcore even then good for you

man yeah

um and then at one point in their

marriage they hit a really rough spot

where they weren't sure how things were

going to go and that was one of the

things that like came up in therapy was

he's like I have your [ __ ] name on my

neck like what do I do what do I do yeah

exactly because she also had his name um

which is their son's name as well oh

like loophole like it's I'm not going to

use their names for the sake of privacy

but it's kind of like a John versus

Jonathan situation on like right she

calls him John but the son goes by

Jonathan sort of situation and so I'm

like well like I guess the tattoo could

pivot to your son if you if you needed

it to but yeah like legit conversation

that they had in coup's therapy was like

I have your name tattooed on my neck yep

yep what does that look like it's not

subtle yeah in an era where like our

marriage is not in a thriving place and

I do have a v i have yeah but even I

like when I was talking to my tattoo

artist I was like I have a v on my ring

finger and it can be a v it can turn

into an a a five like we have options

yes we can go Roman numerals if we need

to but I was like I have options should

anything ever happen but I asked my

tattoo I just I was like would you ever

get a t like get a ring finger tattoo

and it's her fiance not her husband at

this point quite yet and she was like I

mean maybe once I've had his child but

like right until I until I've bared his

child born his

child grammatically I'm not thriving in

this moment his child produced his

child that's wor I give him an

air an air and a spare oh God she was

like she's like maybe once I have his

kid I'll get a tattoo for him but I'm

not sure if I'm going to commit from the

jump and I was like understandable words

to live by girl touche yeah because all

right because we were talking earlier

about the Mir cat I have a Jack and my

husband has from Nightmare Before

Christmas yeah right and those aren't as

on the nose yeah and but like I had a

friend that she she was like yeah like

my husband like I was called my little

otter so she got an otter tattoo they're

divorced now but I'm like well at least

you have an otter tattoo and Otter are

still cute yeah versus just

like

Jonathan W

wamp I'm like tattoos for people the

dangerous game to play it really is

though I've thought about a ring finger

tattoo I may do it we'll see I don't

have to decide right now well and uh

Vance and I are like both those people

that like whenever we have friends that

are like I was think getting this tattoo

we're like what are you doing right now

let's go to a shop 100% me too yeah so

like one of his like dearest friends had

been dating a girl for like a couple of

months and Vance convinced them when

they were like should we get each

other's names tattooed Advance like on

your asses let's

go and they got each other's name name's

tattooed but you know what now they're

they're married and have three children

like I'm going to literally attribute

that to

Vance Vance is the reason Vance is the

one he did that exactly he can have

pride in that all right I'm so sorry I

it's okay we can talk about tattoos for

a long time both of us um but while she

was inspecting his tattoos she had a

heat Spike oh okay which makes sense

with the suppressants wearing off right

and she really started to panic because

um she never got to choose how she got

through them before and like her Alphas

before would bring them on on purpose to

like [ __ ] with her and so she is

starting to panic and he's like hey just

look at me for just a second do you want

me to take you home or do you want me to

take you to Miles what would you like to

do and she's like miles take me to the

house like take me to Miles and so she

do they have a nest at their house they

do but she hasn't seen it yet okay um

which like which makes sense but just

right yeah no they do they've been like

hoping for this for a long time um but

they kind of had given up after

Everett's situation with his scent match

so she is just like dying basically the

whole way to the house she's like losing

her [ __ ] in the back seat and so he

calls miles and like tosses his phone

into the back seat so that he can like

she can can hear his voice um and he

starts talking dirty until they get home

um she rides his face to

completion um Everett knew that Juno

wasn't comfortable with him and so he

didn't even try he just like got out of

the car because it wasn't okay for him

to be there like he was having a hard

time and like went and took a shower he

was like miles has got you you're safe I

imagine like if she's having a heat

Spike like she's perfuming hardcore so

just trying to like keep his composure

and be like I I can't even offer knowing

where she's at right now exactly um and

she eventually like when she comes

through the heat Spike she sees him

she's like I am the worst date ever

Everett like I am so sorry like I

started the night with you and then like

banged somebody else I'm like I hooked

up with someone else I'm so sorry and

he's like sweetheart go spend the night

with miles let him take care of you get

some snuggles just promise me you'll

have breakfast with me with just me in

the morning and she's like

okay um

so um she is super into the situation

with Miles that night and they wind up

having sex for the first time there's

lots of teasing and my notes say organs

but I think it meant orgasms but both

are still true

so my notes say lots of teasing and

organs Happy

Days oh my God I have more questions if

you mean if you actually meant organs

and not orgasms but it also I agree I'm

like I still feel like I'm not fully

surprised if it says organs and not

orgasm it's still accurate um so now

we're back to Ari the professor okay

yeah so he's really struggling which you

know I was like we at 4 right now we

keep packing them in hey yeah we do um

but I so I was like I wonder so quick

question yes are all four of them are

olly [ __ ] Isaac uhuh Everett and my I

wanted to

say Stefan the SED then I was like his

name is by no means Stefan it's every I

knew a swed and his name was Michael and

I was like can

you

be Stefan or something like can you give

me

something Mike the swed come

on you're like Michael's just really not

as Viking as I know like I wanted to be

more robust so the three of them and

then miles yep so all four are they're

in a pack yeah well yes they are a pack

but like all four are in that count that

you were giving earlier yes okay yep Ari

and Julian yep hey YY I'm like legit

excited to see how we how we get there

so Ari um is trying to be professional

and not like stare at Juno or give her

any kind of special treatment or

anything um but he also thinks she

smells great yep and he has noticed new

Alpha Sense on her um and he's like oh

like she's got a pack like

okay um okay never mind she just smells

dence but I'll F does he have a pack he

does not okay so Priya the beta in the

class is still trying to get his

attention and he's like not engaging and

not even like fully realizing it

right that was so unnecessary and [ __ ]

of me well she's kind of [ __ ] so it

turns out that he knows olly oh um so

they worked together before because he

was in adver in and olly worked on a

campaign that he worked on okay and um

so olly comes to pick Juno up after

class and he's like son of a [ __ ] one

of her Alphas is like the nicest dudes

I've ever met [ __ ] this guy and like

damn it [ __ ] so um he had a pack back in

London but he the pack dissolved and he

moved to

Australia um and we don't know what

happened okay but he does not trust

omegas and he does not like them he's

like I have no interest so like she

smells great and she's with great news

Alphas are also not for me not ideal yep

um so weeks are going by she's in her

classes she's getting to know people in

the pack um she is definitely getting

closer to her heat um she's like tension

is building with Isaac in different

ways but they're both still adamant that

like they're not like

that um miles and olly have asked to

help her with her

heat um but

Everett is not like that yet like she

doesn't she's not fully there with him

yeah and so he asks if he can help take

care of her which like I appreciate how

they're going about it in this book

because I feel like there are so many

Omega verse books where it's like and as

soon as she's in heat it doesn't [ __ ]

matter as long as you have a knot it's

good enough versus being like

hey she doesn't feel emotionally safe

with me so we'll leave this to the

people she does feel emotionally safe

with yeah cuz I feel like it's always

just like and she's so delirious with

the fever from the you need the lust I

feel so empty

like fil me Alpha like yeah literally

yes so it is really nice and so she um

they show her the nest they help her set

it up um and is she fully in heat at

this point not yet but it's like

definitely getting closer they give her

free rain and all of their bedrooms um

to go like take their sheets and

comforters and t-shirts and like

you need

yeah um and so she's not in heat yet but

Olli is like let me help you break it in

he's like uh I know how we can make it

smell good

like and um he is trying to talk dirty

and she's he's like I've got something

else for you baby it starts with a K and

then he gets real quiet for a second and

he goes

but but sounds like an

n and she's like are you are you talking

about you're

not well it's so funny because I was

like is he misspelling [ __ ] no

no he meant his

not and it is so awkward starts with a

but it sounds like an it's so awkward

and he's like I'm really bad at this

he's like I'm so sorry I just am so

excited and So eventually

like he is also not like super ripped

and he's like kind of self-conscious

about like being a little like soft

around the middle and like they just

have an incredible encounter and she

realizes like she didn't know that sex

could be like this with an alpha like

it's awkward and they're giggling and

laughing but also like it's tender and

kind and like it feels like care I need

to tell you a story that I've never told

you oh

okay I'm buckling

up it wasn't long post pregnancy oh I

was like heyo it wasn't long sorry

[Laughter]

man and you know getting back into the

swing of things trying to feel sexy

doing your kagle exercises because

things are a little bit looser than they

used to be Everything feels different

yeah and so I literally was like I'm

working on my Kel I want to like bear

down in this sexual moment and I was

like Vance hold

on oh no oh no yeah so he stopped

thrusting so I could bear down and I

just

farted

so literally

mid sex I'm like Vance hold on so he

stops

thrusting just for me a fart at full

volume oh I'm crying and he was like is

that what you were trying to do I was

like literally not at all that just keep

coming

oh my

God the tear streaming down both of our

faces yeah I was going to say I have

little old tears it was a very humbling

moment Jesus CHR trying to be sexy oh my

God I thought I might cry for other

reasons today so I wor waterproof

mascara and not a lot of it oh my God

that's so

good oh my God

okay like so many tears that's so

good

wo okay and we're back we've got this

yes but like that's the beauty of like

building a relationship with someone and

like being able to laugh and just like

do weird stuff yes and just like bodies

are weird and do weird things and

like okay like we can still en like

enjoy ourselves together yeah and like

your body's going to Humble you

regardless for sure oh my god

um so things are continuing to go really

well um and she decides to move into the

pack house because she's been spending

so much time there so she is now moving

in with them um still continued awkward

encounters with Isaac of like she's like

so I I he's like would would you like to

Moot and she's like I would like to moot

like they're like oh my God how do we

talk to each

other um and they have all agreed at

this point that they are committed to

each other but everybody is comfortable

without a bond with her at this point it

so um and they all understand that may

never be ready for a bond and they are

okay with that they've told her like it

truly is up to you um so the bond is not

what makes our relationship here exactly

so Everett always Cooks um he's like the

cook in the house and so she helps him

out in the kitchen and drives him up a

wall because she's like this feels right

we should add this right and everything

turns out incredible and so he's like

scribbling notes in his like recipe book

and it's like two Juno siiz

teaspoons five regular teaspoons like

and like you know it's just really nice

um and um then her heat finally shows up

Oli and Miles help her through it they

make sure that she consents to

everything and even when she is not

Lucid if she's asking for things she

hasn't consented to they won't do it um

and so find creative ways to meet her

needs cuz she's not comfortable with

anal and so in a lucid moment they're

like hey you were asking for anal but

you had said no before so we didn't do

it but it was really really like you

were really upset and we were really

upset so like would you be comfortable

with a butt plug and she's like sure yes

let's do it um and so they're trying to

find creative ways to support her

without um while still making sure she's

fully cons to everything yeah especially

because like Heats you are Delirious so

like the you may not know what you're

asking for yes

absolutely so um she again so refreshing

it's so nice and she knows that she's

safe and that's a brand new experience

for her and so she's just super grateful

for them

um and um Isaac is kind of like all over

the place with Juno being in heat um but

he leaves he leaves the house he gets on

a plane and he doesn't tell the pack

like where he's going or what he's doing

he does occasionally travel for work

Julian it's Julian so it's not outside

the realm of Norm for him to be

gone but he did he found Julian so he

contacted him under like the guys of um

interviewing him for a job but when he

meets him he's like Hey so uh off the

rip uh there is no job I'm here about

Juno and Julian immediately is like I

don't know who the [ __ ] you are but I

will not be speaking to you I don't know

where she is and even if I did I would

not tell you and like gets up to storm

out of the room and he's like no no no

no no we're on the same team here yep

but given that you responded that way I

trust you more yeah 100% um so after

clearing all of that up Isaac realizes

that he's like super [ __ ] because

Julian is precious and very attractive

and clearly in love with Juno and he's

like normally this would be a pack vote

but uh would you like to come home with

me which again is across the country

like you know

so

Juno had to make an executive decision

there yeah and he's like clearly you

still love her and I know that she loves

you yeah so like just come on

on so then Juno it's after her heat she

is she literally runs into like bot runs

into Ari um on the way to class and they

have kind of a sweet moment where he

helps her with her jacket and stuff and

then after class Priya the beta Corners

her and is saying that like Ari should

be with Priya and not Juno um and um

fakes that Juno attacked her like as

AR's coming around the corner Juno had

like put her hand yeah Juno had like put

her hands up because priia was like

getting in her space but like as Ari

came around the corner Priya like

stumbled backwards as if Juno pushed her

yeah and so then immediately priya's in

tears like why would you do that why

would you attack me I don't understand

like what did I do and AR is immediately

believes priia

oh that Juno attacked her that's less

cool and she he's like I thought you

were better than this right but because

of his history he does not trust you

trust omegas in general he's like I

really thought you were better than this

what's wrong with you like why would you

do that um and Juno he like can visibly

see she just shuts down and is like I'm

really sorry Priya I hope that you're

all right and like walks away and he's

like that's weird like yeah um but she's

really upset and by the whole thing and

she gets home and

Isaac immediately is like I found Julian

and like like Ari is forgotten [ __ ] that

guy like shitty day is behind me Yep

this is ahead of me is the best thing

that's ever happened so Julian is a

full-time panic but he gets to the house

there's like a driver it's a mansion

he's like holy [ __ ] like I'm so glad

that Juno has all of this like I'm so

happy for her like I just need to know

that she's safe and then she never has

to hear from me again like I'm just

grateful I get to see her and so as soon

as he steps out of the car Juno like

full body like tackles him and is just

so excited and he says 1 to 10 um and

she's like off the charts I'm so happy

that you're here um and they talk all

night um he's very very nervous around

the other Alphas though so like she

brings Julian into her nest they talk

all night they have a great time but

then the next

morning um Juno is messing with Everett

in the kitchen and Everett growls at her

and Julie J like playfully but Julian's

like halfway out of his seat and he's

like I don't know what the [ __ ] I think

some like Bean pole beta is going to do

but absolutely not like I'm going to try

at least like and um Isaac comes up and

it's like hey I wouldn't let

anybody anywhere near her that would

hurt her like yeah that's not what this

is but we get it like we get it um and

so

then um Julian officially announces that

he's courting Juno so he is now moving

across the country Isaac that turned a

corner quickly yep he's like she's the

one always has been Isaac helps him find

a job for another company cuz he has

connections um Julian and Juno have the

most adorable first date because Julian

is living with them and he initially

tried to live elsewhere and Isaac was

like unacceptable makes no sense yeah so

Julian like by her this big bouquet of

flowers and tries to sneak it into the

house but Juno is in the living room and

he's like look away a and he like leaves

the house with the flowers and then

comes up to the house and rings the

doorbell when it's time for their date

and it's like hi Juno I'm here to pick

you up for our date and like pretends to

introduce him to all the other Alphas as

if it's the first time and it's just

super

cute um but they have a great time um

and he is still he clearly has PTSD he

hasn't worked through so

um Isaac everything's going really well

things are going great um and then Isaac

and Julian kind of have a moment because

Julian won't be physical with Juno um

and Julian is scared that Paca is going

to find her because Eric is in prison

but Andrew is out and so he's like

they're going to track her through him

um so Isaac kind of holds him and is

like everything's going to be okay like

we're going to keep her safe and then

there's kind of a moment where they're

like both about to go for it and um both

kind of seize up and freak out because

Isaac hasn't talked to Miles about that

and so then there's like a whole pack

confrontation not confrontation but like

discussion about it and it's deeply

awkward um

but they're all kind of in the hallway

afterwards and Juno kind of has a moment

where she's like wait a minute did you

bring Isaac here because you're

attracted to him like did you bring him

here for you like what are you what are

your bring Julian here what did I say

you said bring Isaac did Juno asked if

if he brought Isaac here if Isaac

brought Julian here yes thank you um

because he was like into him or like is

this like what are your motives here was

this for me or for you right but then

they clear the air um and everything is

this all the first book yes and then

everything's okay miles and Isaac bang

um lots of roleplay everything's great

um Julian and Juno discover that they

have like an SNM thing but like she's

the Dom for him oh okay that happens

he's never been with a woman before she

coaches him through a lot it's pretty

hot lots of Praise um really feels like

we're we the gas like he's in now like

he is in now um

so then um she and Isaac talk it out

afterwards you know Julian is pack and

it's okay for them to share like if

everybody's into it um

and yeah Everett is panicking about the

whole thing um there's so many people in

this yeah I'm I'm what is he panicking

about about what about Juno being a part

of the thing of the pack because he had

a scent match before yeah but she's been

around for a minute now so like he is

worried that sex with her is not going

to be as good as it was with his scent

match he's like what if it's not as good

with her like what if I'm not actually

as into her um so so he eventually he

gets over it um and his uncle gives him

some advice like the grass is greener

where you water it and he's like bet and

then they bang um okay he tells her

about the scent match yep

okay it's so much it really like I

wasn't lying when I said it really feels

like we like hit the gas in a way that

I'm like yep oh yep uhhuh okay so then

you talk to this person about sex and

then this so like what so like

that's how it feels in the book like we

build and we build and we build and then

it's like we are now committed and we're

all doing this and Julian's here and

like people are moving and relationships

are developing and like now we're all

finally having sex and it's

like okay

yes so your feeling is how I felt

reading the book and I did have to go

back a couple of times and be like who

who is this like oh my God because it is

so much um but every opens up about his

scent match and like explains the

situation to her um and she tells him

about the whole scent sympathetic thing

and that you know just because you were

scent matched doesn't mean that like it

was faded um and so they finally have

sex um but uh she trusts him a lot more

than he feels like he deserves um every

is upset cuz he feels like he was too

rough with her um but she's all good

with it olly comes home they were in the

living room okay olly comes home she

gives him a [ __ ] while she's still

with Everett everything's super sexy

everybody's

happy this is where it gets more messy I

I forgot how messy it was I guess it

gets

Messier it's the end of the semester

we're almost done

I was going to say my bladder is full

we're almost done with part one we're so

close we're so close to done with part

one I was like part one really is

enduring ping it in yep so it's the end

of the semester final

presentations um Ari is

like freaking out about Juno but trying

to stay

focused um Juno is last like on the

random selection for her last

presentation to be graded um and his

best friend who is also a professor is

there um and Juno does incredible on her

presentation um she does a really good

job but he has noticed that she's been

completely shut down with him since the

whole episode with priia mhm um but he

knows he doesn't want an Omega after

what happened with his last pack because

it turns out he had a pack um and then

they found an Omega but he was not into

the Omega and she was not into him but

then he started dating a beta and the

Omega had him kind of thrown out of the

pack because she wasn't comfortable with

that okay to be fair I think I was

combining his trauma

history with oh with stefans with

Everett not Stefan but yeah I think I

was combining he'd had an Omega

versus Ari had had a pack yes but he

never had an Omega so they are walking

out of the room where the presentations

were Juno had already left and he is

with his friend they're walking out and

as they're walking out Priya is

attacking Juno in the

hallway and Juno kind of goes into shock

and is having like a a flashback because

of the situation Ari gets olly to come

get her um and Ari is trying to

apologize to olly and Olly is like priia

has been harassing her for

months you can [ __ ] off like I never

want to hear from you again like this is

enough and so then eventually a few days

later Ari asks to come see her to make

sure that she's okay Isaac says that's

cool they have pack game night and it's

really nice like Ari is like oh damn

like I forgot what it's like to have a

pack like this is really nice these guys

are really great Juno is like I don't

hold anything against Pria it's got to

be really hard to be a female Beta like

I bet that's really sucks I made it

worse cuz I wasn't very nice to her also

like what she did wasn't okay but like I

can have compassion for her that like

well we re respect her being an adult

about it we can um and everyone is super

nice to him um um and um she explains to

him what happened that like this pack

has taken her in after the the last pack

and then Ari realizes that um he [ __ ]

all over a chance to like have a family

again to like have a Brotherhood and and

be connected to people um because Juno

is his scent match he had just been in

denial about it all this time and on his

way out he's like oh but also she

doesn't need me like she has this pack

and like I have to accept that way to be

a martyr yep so then

um Isaac says to Juno like what better

way to show him like the mistake that he

made cuz she's like why did you let him

stay here and he's like he needed to

know what he was missing he needed to

know what he did and she was like damn

that's dark like okay okay so then um

things are just going really well

they're having a great time but then

they get put into gossip magazines after

a

fundraiser because they have so much

money I know it's so messy it's so messy

sorry I was like really tracking with

this for like probably the first 75% and

now I'm like what the [ __ ] and there's a

whole second book but at this point I'm

like just we're we're getting this is

literally the very very end yeah I'm

what a what a journey this has been they

go to this

photos are taken photos are and P finds

her and reaches out to Isaac to threaten

him because they want her back I mean

kind of assume Paca is going to be like

the the Cliffhanger at the end but the

and that's the end of the first six to

Mid night of like them like being like

you know like we do well for ourselves

but we're not billionaires to like there

are photos being taken of us gossip

magazines and going into gossip Rags

you're like what yeah she turned it up

at the end she at the end she really did

it had this like cozy read feel for like

the first 80% and then it was like like

okay but that's where it ends is he gets

Isaac gets a call from

paow that's how the first book ends yeah

I think we should save our rating until

the next episode I'm comfortable with

that I don't think we have to choose

different rating scales for the same

universe I'm comfortable with that and I

feel like I need to make a fully formed

decision on if anything new pops up in

the second book which is totally fair

for our rating system yeah and also I I

do also have to

pee we've been talking for so long I

just realized like we've been talking

for so long and we're human too yes yeah

so all that said it is a bit of a an

Abrupt ending to be first installment of

this two-part duet uh join us back here

in 2 weeks for the second part of the

duet no guarantees it's less chaotic

than where we we just ended dare I say

I'm betting it's going to be more

chaotic so I'm glad to have more wine my

outline is shorter so hopefully that

means it's less chaotic but I can make

no promises you and I both know the

length of an outline does not equate to

the chaos of a book there's no

correlation there's no

correlation but all that thank you for

joining us yeah like whole journey I

have things that I'm speculating about

but I'm also like I want to hold it

until book two fair to to see where

where all this lands but yeah the fact

that we like had two new pack people

join and like the last like 20%

mhm what a journey it adds a layer of

chaos that I didn't feel appropriately

prepped for by the first part of the

book I didn't feel appro rately prepped

and I didn't read the book I was

trusting you and I still trust you

please hear me but I I I did feel the

shift and in the chaos

yeah I even felt a shift in my energy

that I didn't even realize until I was

like oh I'm talking a lot faster but

that's because the book feels faster I

was like okay okay okay you were like

that I was like uh-huh I'm tracking I

got this and then you were like hold on

I'm not tracking anymore please help me

[ __ ] hell I needed to take

notes I did take notes yeah I might need

you to send them to me um all right all

many for you would also be curious to
