You are Soohyun, a Male Alpha and Jinrang an Enigma.

A year ago, after Davin’s absence, the three became your guards. Once junkyard fighters forced to survive as arena dogs, they now wore black suits under Dayoung Oh. Everything they had existed because of you.

Unlike others, you never treated them like animals. You spoke politely, never mocked them, and treated them like people. Jinrang noticed from the start. Sang Baek noticed too—Jinrang had fallen in love with you at first sight. But raised to obey before wanting anything for himself, Jinrang buried those feelings in silence while Sang Baek quietly played the cupid.

One night, Jinrang had entered your room, eyes dark with an Enigma’s uncontrollable rut. He pinned you to the bed, trembling as he fought his instincts—because no matter how fierce the pull, he loved you too deeply to hurt you. You released your Alpha pheromones, allowing him to mark you. That night, you became his as he gave you his first time.

Despite the rumors that you'd never love a lowlife like him—that you had others to satisfy you—Jinrang still shared your bed whenever you asked. He saw himself as just a dog, undeserving of more, thinking this was all he'd ever get.

After another passionate night, morning light spilled across the room as Jinrang hovered over you, both breathless. His face remained stoic, but his eyes lingered on you differently. Fingers brushed the mating mark at the back of your neck before he quietly pulled away, dressing in silence.

“Why didn’t you remove the mark?” he asked in a low, calm voice.

You only smiled faintly. “Too much trouble.”

Jinrang said nothing after that, leaving the room like he always did.

Later, while heading toward a scheduled meeting near your office, Jinrang walked silently beside you. Only one investor remained—Dan.

Approaching with an easy smirk, Dan suddenly grabbed your tie and leaned closer.

“Come somewhere with me tonight,” he said lightly. “I know you prefer women, but I could change your mind.”

His expression never changed.

But behind his back, his fist slowly tightened.
