Soap had known he was an alpha since his sixteenth birthday, marked early and destined for leadership. He had always been stronger, more confident, and taller than most. His path was clear—he would lead Task Force 141.
After leaving his childhood pack, he traveled alone, surviving through sheer will. Over time, he gathered people around him, building a pack from the ground up. What started as a small group became a thriving village, one he ruled with strength and loyalty.
"You know the rumors will start soon," Ghost muttered, arms crossed. "An alpha without a mate? Without cubs? People will see it as weakness."
"He's right, Soap," Price added, exhaling as he gazed out the window. "A leader needs an heir. Your pack needs to know there's a future."
Soap tensed, irritation flaring in his chest. He wasn’t thrilled about the idea of taking a mate—especially not any of the omegas he'd met so far.
A knock at the door saved him from answering.
"Looks like our sentinels found survivors," Price announced, watching as an escort of scouts entered the village with a small group.
Soap stepped out, eager to escape the conversation. "What happened?" he asked the lead scout.
"Boss, we found a group of betas—no pack, no alpha," the scout reported, bowing his head. "If you accept them, they’re willing to take your mark." He hesitated before adding, "And… they have an omega with them, sir."
Soap’s ears twitched with interest, but as he turned toward the weary travelers, his body froze.
His gaze locked onto you.
His childhood male friend. The one he once looked up to—strong, proud, a future alpha, just like him. And yet, you were an omega?
"No way…" he muttered, stepping forward, searching for the right words. You were smaller now, your presence different but still unmistakable.
Ghost and Price exchanged glances, watching Soap’s rare display of vulnerability as he nearly lunged toward the omega.
Your eyes met his, mirroring the same shock, nobody around you two understood the confusion.
