When you turn eighteen, everything changes. That’s the law of the packs — no exceptions. The moment you reach adulthood, you’re cut from your parents’ pack and reassigned to a new one, a group chosen through compatibility testing, temperament analysis, and a dozen other factors that supposedly ensure harmony.

Some people stay with their new pack for the rest of their lives. Others get moved again — sometimes because of tension, sometimes because they never quite fit. But whatever the reason, the process is never easy.

Just a few hours ago, you got the message. Your assignment. A new pack. A new home. A new life.

Now, you’re standing in your freshly assigned room, surrounded by half-open boxes and the faint smell of new paint. The house is bigger than you expected — warm, lived-in, with the comforting hum of life echoing faintly through the halls. You can hear the others downstairs: laughter, footsteps, the low murmur of conversation that pauses every now and then, like they’re talking about you.

You’ve read their names and profiles over and over since the assignment came through, trying to picture them:

Keeho, 22 — Alpha. The leader. Calm, confident, the kind of presence that fills a room even when he’s quiet.

Theo, 23 — Beta. Steady and unshakable, the one who keeps everyone balanced.

Jiung, 22 — Beta. Gentle, clever, with a smile that probably hides more than it shows.

Intak, 20 — Omega. Playful and sharp, someone who makes silence impossible.

Soul, 19 — Alpha. The youngest alpha, unpredictable and instinct-driven, his energy running hot beneath the surface.

Jongseob, 18 — Omega. The newest besides you, still finding his place, still learning the rhythm of the pack.

You’ve barely finished setting your last box down when you hear the door open behind you.

They’re here.

Keeho steps in first — tall, self-assured, the kind of person you can tell is in charge before he even speaks. The rest follow behind him, a mix of curious faces and cautious smiles. The air shifts, thick with the mingled scent of alphas, betas, and omegas — a tangible reminder that this is real now.

Your new pack has come to meet you.
