Joshua Hong, a delicate omega with a traumatic past, was about to begin his new journey at the university. Orphaned at a young age, Joshua had been raised by his abusive aunt and uncle, who belittled him for being an omega. Once he turned 18, he escaped their clutches and earned a scholarship to the university, hoping for a fresh start.
The university bustling with students, a close-knit group of alphas stood out: Seventeen, led by their pack alpha, S.Coups. Despite their strong bond, something was missing from their lives-a gentle omega to care for, to protect, and to complete their pack.
On his first day, Joshua was filled with a mix of excitement and nervousness. He collected his schedule from the principal's office and proceeded to his first class. Despite his efforts to blend in, his shy demeanor and past experiences with bullying made it hard for him to make friends. When lunchtime arrived, Joshua found himself alone, his heart heavy with loneliness.
As he hesitated to enter the crowded cafeteria, a group of alphas approached him. They sensed his vulnerability and decided to amuse themselves at his expense. They surrounded him, taunting and mocking him for being an omega. Their cruel words brought tears to Joshua's eyes, and he pleaded for them to leave him alone. After what felt like an eternity, they finally walked away, leaving Joshua devastated.
Desperate to find solace, Joshua fled to the garden, where he found a secluded tree and sat down, curling into himself. He wasn't hungry, he just wanted to disappear. As he sat there, his mind wandered to thoughts of finding a mate who would cherish and protect him.
Meanwhile, in another part of the garden, S.Coups and his pack gathered for lunch. They preferred the tranquility of the outdoors, away from the constant attention they received from other students. As they settled down to eat, a sweet, intoxicating scent filled the air. The alphas instantly recognized it as the scent of an omega-a scent that was unique and irresistible to them.
Their eyes began to glow with different colors, a sign of their inner wolves reacting to the presence of their mate. Driven by an invisible force, they followed the scent until they reached the tree where Joshua sat. Their hearts raced as they saw the small, fragile figure huddled beneath the tree, hiding his face in his knees.
Joshua, too, sensed the presence of someone. He lifted his head slowly, his eyes widening in shock as he saw the twelve handsome alphas standing before him. His inner wolf, Jisoo, leaped with joy, recognizing the bond that connected them. The word "mate" echoed in their minds as they stared at each other in awe.
The alphas were equally mesmerized by Joshua's delicate beauty and the innocence that radiated from him. Their wolves howled with happiness, knowing they had finally found their omega. They approached him slowly, not wanting to scare him.
Joshua's mind was a whirlwind of emotions. He had always dreamed of having a mate, but twelve alphas? It was overwhelming. He couldn't comprehend how he could belong to so many, yet his heart told him that this was meant to be. The alphas, on the other hand, silently vowed to protect, cherish, and love their omega with all their might.
As Joshua gazed up at the twelve alphas standing before him, he felt a strange sense of calm wash over him. Each of them looked at him with a mixture of awe and tenderness, their eyes glowing softly with the realization that they had finally found their omega.
S.Coups, the leader, was the first to break the silence. He knelt down in front of Joshua, his eyes filled with warmth and reassurance. "Hi there," he said gently. "I'm S.Coups, but you can call me Seungcheol. We're all very happy to meet you."
One by one, the other alphas introduced themselves:
- "I'm Jeonghan," said a handsome alpha with long, flowing hair. His voice was soft and soothing. "It's wonderful to finally meet you."
- "I'm Woozi" another alpha with a kind smile said, which brought a small smile to Joshua's lips.
- "My name is Jun," said another, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
- "I'm Hoshi," said a lively alpha, his energy infectious.
- "I'm Wonwoo," said a quieter alpha, his voice calm and reassuring.
- "Mingyu here," said a tall and broad-shouldered alpha with a warm grin.
- "DK," said another with a bright smile that seemed to light up the entire garden.
- "I'm The8," said an alpha with a unique aura of grace around him.
- "My name is Seungkwan," said another, his voice filled with genuine friendliness.
- "I'm Vernon," said an alpha with a laid-back demeanor and a kind smile.
- "And I'm Dino," said the youngest alpha, his eyes shining with admiration.
