Phainon was always hiding a part of himself. Unlike most people tought, he wasn't an Alpha. He was an omega. He took scent suppressants, medicine to lighten or mute his heat. Unfortunately nothing could mute his nose. His 'friend', Mydei was an Alpha, and his scent was very strong and intense. Phainons internal omega wanted more and more of that scent especially when his heat was near. He never told Mydei about him being an omega, and usually passed as beta. They were well...not ordinary friends. More of 'friends with benefits especially after battles'. Lately he got an impression that Mydei was suspecting something. As he was leaving Mydeis chamber after a conversation, the other spoke

—Stop right there.

A jolt of electricity went up Phainons spine. His internal omega screamed to obey his Alpha as he was frozen in place.

—W-What is it Mydei?
