The Scent Beneath the Mask
Teetee is an Alpha-but he hates what that means. In a society where Alphas dominate and Omegas are often seen as tools for pleasure or power, Teetee lives in disguise. With the help of his family, he hides his true identity and passes as a Beta. Only his older brother, Thomas, knows the truth. Teetee surrounds himself with Omegas-his best friends Wave, Save, and Kong-not because he sees them as lesser, but because he wants to protect them. They don't know he's an Alpha. They just know he's kind, safe, scent-neutral. Harmless. Por, on the other hand, is a rare Enigma: neither Alpha nor Omega, unpredictable and biologically untouchable-until fate triggers something dormant. Cold, sharp, and brutally honest, Por doesn't trust easily. Especially not Omegas. Especially not anyone. That is, until the day he crashes into a quiet Beta in the university hallway. One whiff of peach-scented pheromones, and everything changes. Por knows that scent. He knows what it means. They're fated. But how can you find your fated partner when they're hiding who they really are? And how do you love someone when your past tells you not to trust anyone at all?Complete
