Bangkok buzzes under the evening sky—street food sizzles, neon lights hum, and the river shimmers like spilled stars. In a cozy alley, Moonlit Antiques glows, its shelves packed with dusty vases and ticking clocks. A milk tea counter in the corner fills the air with sweet jasmine. Freen Sarocha, the Alpha queen, leans against it, her leather jacket scuffed, a smirk on her face. Her cedar-and-storm scent says power, but she’s all easy charm, laughing off tales of soulmates.“Glowing symbols? Total nonsense,” Freen mutters, wiping a glass. “Just stories.”
The door’s bell jingles, and Heidi slinks in, her red dress tight, her Omega scent—sickly sweet peaches—hitting hard. She leans close, smiling like a cat.“Hey, Freen,” Heidi purrs, fingers grazing a jade statue. “Ever think about soulmates? Someone… meant for you?”
Freen snorts, pushing a stray hair back. “Heidi, that’s kid stuff. No glow, no fate. Just me and my tea.”
Heidi’s eyes flash, but she laughs. “Stubborn Alpha. Bet the right Omega changes your mind.” She slides a scented candle over. “For you. Smells like destiny.”
Freen slides it back, grinning. “Shop smells fine. Try that line somewhere else.”
Heidi saunters out, tossing over her shoulder, “You’ll see, Freen. Destiny’s coming.”
Freen shakes her head, grabbing a broom.Then the bell rings again, and sunlight walks in. Becky Armstrong, all bright eyes and bouncy steps, her Omega scent—jasmine and warmth—cutting through the dust. Her shorts and tee are casual, her smile pure fire.“P’Freen! Milk tea, extra sweet!” Becky calls, hopping to the counter.Freen grins, pouring the golden tea, ice clinking.
“Kid, you’ll ruin your teeth. Same order, huh?”
“I’m almost 21, not a kid!” Becky pouts, then smirks. “Bet you don’t believe in soulmates, right? Grandma says your symbol glows when you meet the one.”
Freen laughs, leaning closer. “Glow? I’d eat this counter first. It’s all fake, Becky.”
The city pulses, and a crimson moon waits, ready to light the truth.
