The Drummer's Rhythm by Wisteria Lind at Inkitt

Summary

Synopsis One sister lived for the other. Now, she’s just trying to live for herself. Noah spent her entire youth playing a desperate rhythm: job after job, beat after beat, all to fund her twin sister Noelle’s battle with leukemia. While their father built a new family with his mistress and their mother chose a new husband over her dying daughter, Noah chose Noelle. But four days before their twenty-third birthday, the music stopped. Noelle was gone. Four years later, Noah is a ghost in her own life—a drummer in a neon-lit bar by night and a student by day, still carrying the silence of her sister’s absence. Then she meets Theo Valen. He’s everything her world isn't: a brilliant doctor, a cold-eyed medical tycoon, and a man whose heart is with another. One alcohol-blurred night leads to a calculated arrangement: Exclusive bed partners. No strings, no expectations, and a single, lethal exit clause—the deal ends the moment one of them falls in love. Noah knows the rules. She knows Theo is a man of logic, not heart. But as the lines between physical need and emotional survival blur, Noah breaks the only rule that mattered. She falls first, and she falls hard. In a world where everyone she loved has already walked away, Noah must decide: can she handle being the only one keeping the beat, or will she let go before the rhythm breaks her for good?

Please Read

For those who got themselves confused about my Genre or mechanics of the story, here it is.

MUST READ:

This is an ABO (Alpha-Beta-Omega) story. There were some cliches scenes but this is mine. You may skip this one if you feel not good about it or not to your interests. I do not welcome negative comments but if you want to give me some pointers, you can do so.

I’m not a very good writer, and amateur per se. English is not my first language so I would like to excuse myself for the errors. Thank you. 😊

Key components of the A/B/O trope include:

Alpha (α): Typically at the top of the hierarchy, described as aggressive, dominant, and capable of impregnating both male and female Omegas.

Beta (β): Considered the “normal” population, acting as the bridge between alphas and omegas, typically without intense instincts. Often portrayed as stable, adaptable, and socially flexible. Betas can transition or present secondary traits.

Omega(Ω): Submissive, caring, or passive roles. They go through fertile “heats” (breeding cycles) where they are highly fertile and seek mating. Both male and female omegas can become pregnant.

Scents/Pheromones: Characters identify each other’s rank through scents, which play a major role in attraction and bonding.

Bonding/Mating Bite: A permanent mark, usually on the nape of the neck, that signifies a chosen partnership, often done during heat or rut.

Suppressants: Medicinal pills used by omegas to prevent or manage heat cycles.

Ruts (Alpha): A heightened hormonal period for Alphas. Heats (Omega) : A cyclical hormonal period for Omegas. These are biological drivers, not supernatural elements.

These are all common in every ABO stories I had encountered. So please if it may vary or different from any ABO stories you had read, remember this is my story.
