Starting Over : Two Werewolves for Peter is a super kinky omegaverse story with all the hallmarks of a DJ Heart story.

We have omega Peter, who has been framed for a crime by his uncle and sister. He now faces ten years of prison, which will entail being drugged with suppressants. However, there’s an omega matching program in which convicted omegas would be matched with Alphas, who are often not wanted by most omegas. He decides to take his chance and ends up being matched with an Alpha Pair - Tex and Carver.

Carver’s ruts have been out of control, putting them at risk. Tex and he need an omega to balance them and help calm his out-of-control ruts. However, Carver is a sexual sadist with an inclination for bondage, corporal punishment, and domination, so most omegas reject him due to this. Tex decides to go behind his back and sign them for the controversial matching program. Despite Carver being upset at having to resort to getting an omega who has no choice, they realize that Peter is everything they could have ever dreamt of in an omega.

“Your ruts are getting worse for a reason. You need Peter. Don’t waste time feeling guilty about it. Peter would much rather be with us than in prison, and we’re going to make him so happy and content that he can’t even stand it.”

“We’re going to make sure Peter has a good life,” Tex said, neither one of them moving out of the car. “We’re going to make him happy, and he’s going to make us happy, and none of us will have to think about how he got here. It’s not going to be an issue.”


Despite society working towards improving the lives of Omegas, the prison matching program makes him the property of his new Alphas. He wants to go back to school and live his life, but he’s also worried about his Alpha’s wanting him homebound or worse. He also knows he’s innocent but worries about how Tex and Carver view him.

Tex and Carver are married, but at the end of the day, they’re both very dominant Alphas and have needs the other can not fulfill. They need an omega to balance them, and Peter knows he also needs an Alpha. Their sexual dynamic really works well between them.

He would never have tolerated Carver speaking to him like that in the bedroom—would never allow himself to be dominated and talked down to—but hearing it directed at Peter was hot as fuck.

Rather than feel trapped, Peter just felt… settled. There was something strangely nice about being completely unable to move, Tex and Carver’s hold on him absolute and non-negotiable.

Peter wasn’t ashamed of this part of himself. He was an omega, and it was in his nature to obey. He liked to obey. There was nothing quite so wonderful as an alpha you could trust telling you what to do.


Tex and Carver are super Alphas. There’s a huge size difference, Peter is 5’4, and they’re around 6’4. Tex is very domineering and a bit of a bully who likes to throw his weight around with Peter, who loves it.

Peter’s hole had never been so wet or so empty. He stared at his alphas—his beautiful hulking alphas with their hard bodies, chiseled faces, and massive cocks—and wondered why they weren’t fucking him. Not even in his worst heat had he craved a knot this badly.


There’s a lot of kinks once again! It won’t be a DJ Heart book, especially with a sadist like Carver finally having a more submissive partner who enjoys it. Mouth knotting too!

Taking a knot in his mouth was horrible. It filled his mouth and throat, making him feel like he was choking, and the way it stretched his lips and jaw was pure agony. On the other hand, Peter had never felt so deliciously empty-headed and submissive as he did with Carver’s knot in his mouth. It made him feel like a hole—like a thing to be used—and for some god-awful reason, Peter liked that.


I think this story also had a vacuum bed (which was totally new to me) and more. It was hot, and some of the sex acts were pretty rough and would be a lot for some readers. There’s a scene in which Carver ignores Peter’s safe word, but they talk about it.

“I have a safeword, and you took it away without discussing it with me. Tex is right. That’s not okay.” “You don’t sound angry,” Carver said, confused. “But I think I should be,” Peter said, looking up at him over his shoulder. “I had fun yesterday, sure, but what if I had panicked or suddenly didn’t like it anymore?”


So I appreciate that it was addressed and that Tex was there to keep his Alpha in check and ensure Peter had a say. Peter also gets to explore his sexual fantasies; he’s submissive and a masochist.

Overall, I enjoyed it! I’m officially a fan of D.J. Heart and absolutely love the shifter/omegaverse world he’s created. This story is very erotic, kinky and steamy.
