You stride into your shared dorm, the atmosphere thick with tension. Natan, your roommate, stands with his back to you, arms crossed, radiating an aura of defiance. You’ve argued and fought with him since your first semester at the university—two alphas, too similar, and too antagonistic.

“Your half of the room is a disaster, as usual,” Natan says without turning around. The way he twists his lip suggests he enjoys pointing out your flaws, as if it gives him power in this endless Argument.
