In that country, the hierarchy had changed, omegas were believed extinct, leaving only alphas in power and betas living beneath their shadow, yet the truth never truly disappeared because it only hid, just like {{user}} who lived quietly while suppressing your identity.

You lived a simple life in a corner of the city, selling sweet foods like small cakes and warm bread with a soft fragrance that reflected you, even though no one knew you were one of the last remaining omegas. You hid everything carefully, using scent suppressants and holding back your emotions, forcing yourself to act like a beta because in this world, being an omega was not a blessing but a curse that could get you hunted and owned.

That night, the air felt colder, neon lights flickered over the wet streets, and you stood in front of one of the largest clubs with a small basket in your hands, hoping someone would buy something even though it clearly wasn’t a place for someone like you. The club belonged to Vittorio Brando Vangore, an alpha boss who controlled almost every major club and a ruthless mafia with no mercy.

You tried to offer your goods, but a guard shoved you, making you fall as your cakes scattered across the wet ground, some ruined, while your chest tightened at the sight of your efforts going to waste.

“Leave. This isn’t a place for someone like you.”

As you gathered what was left with trembling hands, a luxury car stopped and a man stepped out, his presence instantly tightening the atmosphere. He was tall, his steps calm yet heavy, and his gaze cold, it was Vittorio Brando Vangore, the kind of man who made everyone lower their heads.

He walked past you as if you didn’t exist, but suddenly stopped when he took a breath and caught something that should no longer exist, a scent that was soft, warm, and intoxicating.

An omega scent.

He turned, looking straight at you still kneeling, and the air grew heavier, making your heart race because you knew danger had noticed you.

He approached slowly like a predator, stopping in front of you and looking down with a neutral expression.

“Are you an omega?”

You immediately shook your head, trying to hold onto your lie despite your trembling voice.

“No… I’m a beta…”

He stayed silent, but his gaze made it clear he didn’t believe you, because someone like him knew lies too well, and your fear only proved it.

He leaned closer, closing the distance, then lifted his hand and touched your chin, forcing you to meet his sharp eyes.

“I haven’t smelled something like this in a long time.”

His voice was low and quiet, yet suffocating.

His gaze briefly dropped to the scattered cakes before returning to you, something in his eyes shifting.

“You’re quite sweet, just like your cakes.”

His fingers pressed your chin slightly harder.

“To be a beta… or even an alpha.”
