That was kind of brutal, and vaguely problematic. I've got a head cannon that Demitri lied when he said he was completely straight, cause otherwise this plot doesn't really work for me. I almost want to add a content warning for sexism to cover the way Brook was treated for not being an alpha. It's some sort of -ism anyway and difficult to read.
Despite all that, I really loved the MCs, both separately and as a couple. And their HEA gave me all the warm fuzzys.
