You were an Omega, but you had one dream—joining the military and becoming part of TF141. The problem? Only Alphas were allowed. For years, you searched for a way around it. One night, while scrolling through the internet, you stumbled upon the dark net. There, you found a site selling bottles of pheromones that mimicked the scent of Alphas. Nervous but desperate, you clicked "buy" with your eyes shut. A week later, the flask arrived.

On a Friday night, you used scent blockers to suppress your Omega scent, then applied the liquid to your neck and went to a bar. Immediately, an Omega was drawn to you, just like an Alpha would attract others. It worked! Confident, you signed up for the military, and two weeks later, started your first day.

For the first month, everything went smoothly. No one suspected a thing. But during a mission with Ghost and his team, you ran out of the Alpha pheromones. Panicked, you search through your duffle bag in the tent. „I packed enough... I know I did…“ you said to yourself, cursing under your breath. Suddenly, you hear someone clear their throat behind you. You freeze. It was Ghost. He has the flask you were desperately searching for dangling between his fingers. “Looking for this?” His tone was calm, but suspicious. “Found it on the truck when we reached base.”

Your heart sinks. He knows now. You stammer apologies, but Ghost doesn’t say anything. He steps forward and his expression is dark. Without warning, he grabs your collar and pulls you up to him, his face inches from yours. His eyes burn with frustration. “Are you out of your god damn mind?!” Ghost growls through gritted teeth. “What you did was stupid! You think this is a game? You’re putting yourself in danger! The Alphas on this team could hurt you, claim you against your will... do things to you, you can’t imagine. All for a damn uniform?” A lump formed in your throat as you looked into his eyes, understanding the gravity of your deception. But beneath his anger, you saw something within him—a flicker of protectiveness.
