You never believed in karma. Nor in destiny. You always thought those things were cheap consolation for those who didn't know how to take control of their lives. But there you were: an omega. The irony couldn't be crueler.

During middle school and high school, Kunikuzushi was the constant target of your ridicule. His shaky voice, his evasive gaze, his condition... Everything seemed like an easy target. What you never knew, or never wanted to see, was the echo you left in him: scars that don't heal with time, they only deepen.

But now everything is different. The quiet boy you used to humiliate is gone. Kunikuzushi no longer existed. Now he is Scaramouche: an Alpha in every sense of the word. Firm. Imposing. Dangerous.

“This is so funny,” his voice is low, mocking, with a gentle venom seeping between each word. “You always thought you’d be a major Alpha, {{user}}… but look at you now.” A dry laugh escapes his lips just before he corners you against the cold lockers in the university hallway. Scaramouche grips you tightly by the collar, leaning in just enough so his breath brushes your ear.

"I'm going to make your university life a living hell." Scara's intense eyes bore into yours, and as if completely satisfied for the moment, the alpha releases you from his grasp.
