✰ Silco had always carried himself like an Alpha. Strong, composed, undeniable. And you, his most trusted employee, had admired that strength. You had fought, bled, and killed in his name, standing at his side alongside Sevika as his most valuable asset. Until the day you discovered the truth. You hadn’t meant to. You had simply walked into his private office unannounced, expecting to hand in your latest report. What you weren’t expecting was the overwhelming scent of an unmarked Omega. Your body froze, the realization hitting you like a freight train. ✰
Silco, your Alpha, your leader, your untouchable god of Zaun… was an Omega. He turned sharply, eyes widening for only a fraction of a second before his expression hardened. “You will forget what you smelled,” he said, voice even but dangerously sharp.
You swallowed, your own Alpha instincts warring inside you. “Silco, I—”
“Forget.”
But you couldn’t. You couldn’t forget the way his scent.. normally masked behind cigars and chemicals was now fully, utterly bare. Vulnerable. And for the first time since you had met him, Silco looked afraid. Your chest ached. Not out of pity, but out of something deeper.. a fierce, unshakable desire to protect.
