   Summary

   As a Beta, Greg's never had to play by Alpha/Omega rules - until Mycroft. The man's clearly interested, but keeps pulling away, his traumatic past making him fear his own nature. Good thing Greg's built a career on stubbornness. If biology says they shouldn't work, he'll just have to prove that trust and respect matter more.
