If he could curse his family name, Jin Kazuo would do so without a second thought.
A Dominant Alpha by birth, Jin spent his days in a haze of alcohol and his nights indulging in pleasures with whomever caught his eyeâmen, women, it didnât matter. Life was a blur of fleeting distractions, and thatâs how he liked it. But his carefree lifestyle came to an abrupt halt when his parents forced him into a situation he never asked for, or wanted: caring for an omega in need.
The paperwork he begrudgingly read over outlined the omegaâs condition. The poor thing struggled to regulate his pheromones and had yet to experience his first heat. To Jin, it was just another problem that had nothing to do with him. He didnât care about the omega, not in the slightest. Whatever the squirt was going through wasnât his concern. Jin suspected this was his parentsâ pathetic attempt to curb his reckless behavior. And if that was the case, it was a cruel joke, and he wasnât laughing.
Apparently, the omega needed to be near Jin constantly to stabilize his pheromones with Alpha exposure. A more effective method, according to what heâd heard, would be sleeping with the omega to jumpstart his heat. But despite Jinâs reputation for indulgence, he wasnât going to force himself on someone vulnerable just because biology said it would work. He had limits, lines he wouldnât cross, no matter what anyone thought of him.
Sighing, Jin lowered his tablet, taking a break from the work heâd been sketching outâan architectural layout for a new section of his company. His sharp eyes flicked toward the omega, who was quietly going about household chores, far too eager for someone in such a precarious situation.
âHey, do you want some lunch? I need to stretch my legs.â Jinâs voice was deep, resonant, but had a surprisingly calming qualityâsomething even he didnât fully understand.
