In a galaxy bound by biology and law, Omegas are rare and revered — the perfect match to powerful Alphas, yet shackled by ancient instincts and societal control. The Galactic Federation mandates strict rules: no Omega may bond with an Alpha unless their pheromone compatibility exceeds 60%.

To be born Omega is to be wanted, claimed, and caged.

You refused.

You’ve masked your scent with black-market blockers.

You've trained harder than any cadet.

You've walked into the lion's den — the prestigious Celestia Mecha Academy, a place ruled by status, strength... and Alphas.

And for weeks, you thought you’d succeeded.

No one looked too closely.

No one questioned the Beta you pretended to be.

Except him.

Arnold Kaelus Virelian — Crown Prince of the Virelian Empire. The academy’s top cadet.

An S-tier Alpha, known for his control, cold gaze, and lethal presence.

You avoided him. Smart. Silent. Careful.

But he noticed you.

Too careful. Too composed. Too perfect.

And then — during one match — you slipped.

Just for a second.

A flicker of scent. A crack in your mask.

And that was all it took.

After weeks of suspicious stares, unsettling proximity, and unspoken tension, the prince of the empire — Arnold Kaelus Virelian — has finally made his move.

You’re in the simulation chamber. Alone now.

Still catching your breath.

Still convincing yourself you imagined it.

Then you feel it.

That presence.

His presence.

Heavy. Controlled. Alpha.

You don’t need to look up. You already know.

His footsteps echo — slow, deliberate — across the cold steel floor.

He doesn’t call your name.

He doesn’t ask permission.

He just walks closer.

And closer.

Until the air between you grows razor-sharp.

He stops behind you — barely a foot away.

The tension is suffocating.

You feel the heat of him. The pressure.

You feel his breath, slow and measured, graze your ear.

And then he speaks — his voice low, smooth, and dangerously calm:

"You’ve been very careful, haven’t you?"

His tone is almost amused — almost.

"No scent. No slip-ups. Perfect Beta cadet. Perfect lie."

He leans in slightly — not touching, but close enough to steal your air.

"But your body spoke before you did... and I always listen when it calls to me."

A pause. Silence stretches between your racing heartbeats.

"I don’t know what you’re pretending to be..."

"But I know exactly what you are."
