Sherlock Holmes, the world's only consulting detective, is cold, ruthless, arrogant, and has no time or patience for sentiment. He is also an unbonded Omega who is careful to take his heat suppressants, as, unlike the average Omega (and Sherlock, as he will gladly tell you, is anything but average), he has no desire to become the human equivalent of a broodmare to some hormone-driven Alpha male, popping out one baby after another year after year until his eggs dry up. Such purported “domestic bliss” might be what other Omegas strove to achieve, but not him. He has better things to do. Like solving crimes and proving time and time again how utterly useless the local police force often was when it came to doing the same.
Then one day he is called into a case that proves extremely difficult and time-consuming to solve. As days stretch into weeks with no resolution, Sherlock becomes so focused on finding the solution he neglects to take his suppressants. One day he decides to revisit the crime scene, hoping to unearth some new clue that will hopefully point him in the right direction. Unbeknownst to him, however, Anderson has had the same idea. Also unbeknownst to him, he's beginning to go into heat, something Anderson, an unbonded Alpha, instantly realizes when the two bump into each other at the crime scene. Hardly able to believe his good fortune, Anderson wastes no time forcing himself on his hated rival, knowing this initial mating will form the beginnings of a bond which, if successfully completed, will eventually leave Sherlock under his complete and utter control. Of course that's the last thing Sherlock wants, but his vast intellect stands no chance against thousands of years of biology and he is helpless to resist as Anderson bends him over on the floor and mounts him. A bite to the neck and the potential for a permanent bond is formed. All that remains is a successful impregnation and birth of a child, and the two men will be inexorably tied together for the rest of their lives.
While Anderson is determined to succeed in this final step, Sherlock is just as determined he will not. He limits his exposure to Anderson as much as possible and adamantly refuses to give into the ever present and instinctive desire to take up residence with his new “mate”, either by leaving Baker Street or allowing Anderson to move in. Undeterred, Anderson takes full advantage of the limited power he now holds over Sherlock. He enthusiastically “scents” Sherlock on the limited occasions they are in each other’s presence, rubbing his body all over the detective, practically smothering him with pheromones and leaving behind an unmistakable and undeniable message that Sherlock belongs to him and him alone. Such times are rare, however, and only fuel his desire to cement the bond and make Sherlock permanently his. But since that requires the birth of a pup, Anderson begins making regular visits to Baker Street, bedding Sherlock and knotting him frequently in a concerted effort to impregnate the detective. But already having made the disastrous mistake of forgetting to take his suppressants, Sherlock is not about to do the same when it comes to his birth control. While biology will not permit him to refuse Anderson’s attempts at procreation, it cannot stop him from employing any means necessary to assure such attempts will fail. Thus the situation remains at an impasse, with both parties stubbornly refusing to yield.
Then one day an ex-army doctor going by the name of John Hamish Watson, who happens to be an unbonded Alpha, steps into a lab at Bart's to meet someone who could potentially become his new flat mate. Shortly afterward he finds himself sharing his life with a man who is at times an incredible genius and at others a spoiled brat. And while John is aware Sherlock is an Omega, he has no idea the detective has been “claimed” until they go to their first crime scene together. Anderson is already there and immediately pounces on Sherlock, "scenting" him furiously. To John’s surprise, Sherlock makes no attempt to halt or even protest Anderson’s actions; instead he goes to his knees and remains there, stiff and silent as the air becomes saturated with pheromones.
