Kit-Cait
In the city of Veylour, everyone has a place, a purpose, and a scent that marks them for life. Alphas hold power. Betas serve. Omegas are prized, controlled, and, if unregistered, hunted.
Eiran is an omega who has learned how to survive by hiding in plain sight. Living on the edge of the Midrings, he wears suppressants and scent blockers that leave him blank, invisible, untouchable. Safe. At least, that's what he tells himself. Blunt, sharp-tongued, and careful with his words, Eiran has built a life where he doesn't have to feel... until the city shifts and his carefully maintained walls begin to crack.
Kael is an alpha enforcer from the Spires, tall, commanding, and marked by a past he's spent a lifetime trying to outrun. His eyes, midnight blue flecked with gold, see more than most people realize. He hunts unregistered omegas, but one presence (subtle, fleeting, impossible to place) begins to haunt him. A ghost in the Midrings, a nameless scent he cannot forget.
Two lives moving in parallel, worlds apart yet destined to collide. One wrong move could expose Eiran to a world he has spent years escaping, and Kael's instincts tell him that finding this invisible omega might be the one chance to make right the failures of his past.
But survival comes with sacrifices. Trust comes with pain. And sometimes, even the blankest scent carries the weight of a bond neither of them expected.
Secrets. Lies. Heat suppressed. Hearts exposed.
