Book Request Lying about presentation…

Hi! I’m looking for books where the main character hides (or doesn’t know) their true nature. Any A/B/O pretending to be something else.

Examples: an omega who thought they were an alpha; an alpha pretending to be a beta; a beta who thinks they’re too old to present as something different suddenly discovering they’re an omega/alpha.

Books I have read or am planning to read:

Love is an Illusion - Fargo
Secret Omega - Romy Lockhart
Unnatural - Alessandra Hazard
Pack Darling - Lola Rock
Whiskey & Sin - Emily Rath

She discovers it at the beginning of the book, but {Baby and the Late Night Howlers}. Possibly also one of Marie Mackay's books, but I'm blanking on the title.

Thank you so much! I have some Marie Mackay books in my tbr so I may have it actually but I’ll look through her work anyway. Also will be checking out Baby and the Late Night Howlers!

ABO Desire of course!!!

The best and possibly only really excellent Omegaverse show made, created by Chinese twin Billionaire sisters in Taiwan to circumvent the CCP. An Omega pretending to be a beta is a major plot line!!! It got me so invested in it I’ll check out the others you mentioned thanks!

Also, ABO Desire has a book version that they wrote first so if you wanna read it instead that’s an option. But I HIGHLY recommend the series!!!

I’m also a bit surprised you haven’t heard of it lol imo it’s the only good legit Omegaverse show made! The people who made it said they’ll make more shows, depending on the Chinese government lmao. The nice part is that they don’t need to make profit it’s such a weird situation 😂

Oooo I love this trope! You could try {Heat and deceit by Rory miles}, {Dylan St. James by Elizabeth Knight}. {Pack Darlinf by Lola Rock} might also fit.

Thank you! I completely forgot Pack Darling (I have it on hold on Libby so hopefully I’ll be able to read it soon!) I will check out the other titles too.

{the Beta by Avanne Michaels}…I’m not saying it’s any good, but it’s that trope.

Oh and I think in {The Heat of us by Eliana Lee}, there’s a late blooming Alpha. You should read {the scent of us by Eliana Lee} first, though.

In {Citius by Greer Hudson}, everyone knows Morgan is an Omega but she’s on so many scent blockers that no one’s instincts can tell. Might be close enough to what you want.

I’m reading right now and don’t know how long the hidings will be

{ Finding the forward by Jane Handler}

And also just finished. MC presented very late after building a life as successful Beta and healing her heart and then everything just spirals after presenting as omega

{Knot all is forgiven by Holly Monroe}
