Lee Seokmin was 24, an omega registered as a beta, and the head of Strategic Finance in a company run by alphas who never questioned what didn't concern them. He made sure of that.
Every morning started with a suppressant. Every medical record said "beta." He worked harder, stayed later, never gave anyone a reason to look closer. It wasn't safety-it was survival.
And then there was Joshua Hong. The CEO. An alpha who noticed things others didn't. He never said a word, but Seokmin had seen it-the way his eyes lingered that day Seokmin's scent slipped past the suppressant. Just once.
Joshua didn't say anything. He just watched. And Seokmin kept working like nothing happened.
But secrets don't last forever.
Now the company knows. The lie has cracked. And the only thing louder than the scent he no longer hides is the silence that follows him through every hallway.
Still, Seokmin walks tall. Omega or not, he's earned every step.
