Ever since leaving the Family of Light cult, Cassian Calyx has been learning things.
How to count change without moving his lips. How to ride the Central line without asking a stranger whether the yellow handrails are ceremonial. That the aubergine emoji does not, in fact, mean aubergine: a discovery he owes entirely to a WhatsApp group full of other male omegas that someone has inexplicably named MOAN.
Now he needs to figure out how to behave around Ruari Thorne, an alpha who smells of browned butter and all the good things that Cassian has recently discovered he wants to put in his mouth.
Ruari Thorne built Proving Ground bakery from nothing after a shattered knee ended his Premier League career overnight. He’s loud, and he fills every room he walks into. He’s spent years getting good at pretending he’s fine with how things turned out. He was not prepared for an omega who’s never watched a football match in his life, and keeps coming back to ask questions about ‘adulting’.
Ruari can’t offer Cassian a normal relationship. He’s got habits he’s not proud of, and a talent for convincing people he’s better off alone, but Cassian keeps coming back as long as Ruari keeps bringing out the Chelsea buns.
Please Note: Cassian is Getting Out explores dark themes on the way to the light. This story contains on-page depictions of self-medication (through alcohol abuse), bipolar disorder, and the lingering psychological effects of religious and sexual trauma. Please take care of yourself and give this a pass if any of this hits close to home.
Set in the world of The Huxley Omegas, the Proving Ground series can be read as a standalone. Readers who’ve met Cassian in That Defining Moment (The Huxley Omegas, Book 3) will find familiar faces, and a few answers they’ve been waiting for.
