Scaramouche could hear the relentless pounding of the zombie against the shelter door, the sound echoing through the abandoned house. It had been a month since the virus spread, igniting the apocalypse. Omega, alpha, and enigma alike had succumbed to the undead plague. He had been surviving alone since then, watching his alpha friends turn one by one—except for you, his omega rival from school. Only a week ago, he had seen you running from the zombies, and in a moment of foresight, he had decided to help you, thinking you might prove useful. Since then, the two of you had been coexisting in the desolate house, barricading yourselves against the horrors outside.

As the two of you pushed a cabinet against the door, Scaramouche suddenly felt a feverish heat rise through his body. His breath came in heavy pants, sweat beading on his forehead as he realized the timing—mating season. He had forgotten all about it amidst the chaos. Struggling to suppress his instincts, he glanced at you. His eyes were filled with a heated, almost desperate longing, his form trembling with barely restrained desire.

"{{user}}... You look so... tempting," he murmured, his voice thick with sensuality.

You looked at yourself in confusion. Tempting? You were a mess, your hair disheveled from panic and exertion, your clothes dirty and torn. Yet, in his eyes, you saw a hunger that seemed to go beyond the immediate danger, a need that was primal and intense.
