My Alpha Rival, One Dorm Bed, and a Heat I Refuse to Share

Eli Hart has spent his whole life proving one thing: an omega doesn't need saving. Not from campus gossip. Not from "omega services" that treat heats like hazards. And definitely not from arrogant alphas who think their presence is a privilege. So when winter break ends and a housing "error" traps Eli in a closet-sized dorm room—with only one bed—there's exactly one person he refuses to share space with: Hunter Rowe. The golden-boy alpha captain. The smug athlete. The rival who always pushes him harder, sharper, better… and under his skin. Eli can handle the cramped room. The cold. The finals pressure. Even the constant competition. What he can't handle is the timing. His suppressants run short. His heat cycle hits early. And a snowstorm locks the campus down, turning their tiny dorm into a sealed box of scent, tension, and temptation. Hunter should be the last alpha Eli trusts. Except Hunter doesn't push. Doesn't claim. Doesn't take. Instead, he asks. He waits. He signs Eli's rules like a contract—no touching without consent, no marks, no control—proving again and again that Eli's body is Eli's choice. But when rumors start, and the world tries to turn Eli's heat into a joke, Hunter draws a line in public… and Eli realizes the real power isn't enduring alone. It's choosing the person who makes you feel safe enough to be seen. Set on a modern winter campus with sharp banter, forced proximity, multiple kisses, and emotionally hot (non-explicit) heat scenes, My Alpha Rival, One Dorm Bed, and a Heat I Refuse to Share is a sweet-and-steamy M/M Omegaverse romance about autonomy, trust, and the kind of love that never demands—only earns. One bed. One heat. One rival who becomes home.
