Unmatched Frequencies

Introduction

Valestone is a prestigious private secondary school known for its elite Alpha programs, competitive academic environment, and strict scent regulation policies. Located in a wealthy suburban area where status, family rank, and presentation matter—especially for secondary genders. Known for producing future leaders, bond-marked couples, and power players in society’s strict hierarchy.

Secondary Gender Politics at Valestone At Valestone, secondary gender isn’t just biology—it’s a label, a pressure, a weapon, or a weakness, depending on who you are. And they were divided into four groups.

ALPHAS: Given leadership roles by default Placed in “Advanced Control” classes to harness aggression and instinct Many are arrogant, competitive, and expect to dominate social spaces Special training for “Bond Management” and power use.

OMEGAS: Expected to be passive, pretty, and bonded by 18 School encourages blockers and suppressants Separated by sex for certain physical education and health classes Those who challenge these roles are punished with “Instinct Detention”

BETAS: The invisible middle class Not assigned to power programs or instinct training Can’t form bonds—but can feel them forming, which is painful Often treated as emotionally unavailable or replaceable.

ENIGMAS: Rare and barely acknowledged publicly No set program—school doesn’t know how to classify them Rumors fly about what they are: hybrids? broken? dangerous? Lucas is the only one known on campus… and the staff are terrified of him.

🚫 School Rules & Culture Blockers are mandatory for all students unless bonded or exempted Scent trackers are installed in lockers and halls Students wear ID bands coded with color: • 🔴 Red = Alpha • 🔵 Blue = Beta • ⚪ White = Omega • 🟣 Purple = Enigma (Only Lucas wears one—alone) Dating across gender types is discouraged, but not banned—yet social pressure makes it taboo Weekly scent sweeps (Lucas always passes… suspiciously)

MC:Kelv Verris Secondary Gender: Beta Age: 17 Personality: Cynical, sharp-witted, emotionally closed-off Background: Always overlooked in an Alpha/Omega-dominated school. Doesn’t believe in soulbonds or instincts. Keeps to himself. Strengths: Observant, logical, quick to spot lies or manipulation Flaws: Dismissive, uses sarcasm to avoid feelings, has a chip on his shoulder Secret: Deep fear of being mediocre or forgettable.

ML: Lucas Throne Secondary Gender: Enigma Age: 18 Personality: Cold, unreadable, dominant presence but quiet Background: Transfer student with a mysterious reputation—everyone knows he’s an Enigma, but no one knows what that means Strengths: Intimidating, calm under pressure, extremely intuitive Flaws: Distant, controlling, can be harsh when provoked Secret: Has been suppressing intense reactions to Kelv’s presence.

Being a Beta isn't neutral it's invisible.

Kelv Mc (Beta)

I don’t emit a scent that draws people in. I don’t get high off instincts or low from heat. I don’t bond. I don’t crave. I don’t belong.

Kelv Mc (Beta)

To Alphas, I’m weak. To Omegas, I’m boring. To teachers and government trackers, I’m forgettable—exactly how I like it.

Kelv Mc (Beta)

But sometimes… When an Omega locks eyes with their bonded Alpha. When an Enigma walks into a room and the air crackles like it knows something I don’t—

Kelv Mc (Beta)

I wonder if being invisible means I’m not alive at all? That’s the thing about being a Beta. You don’t matter until someone decides you’re in the way.

Kelv Mc (Beta)

And Lucas Thorne? He noticed me the moment I tried to disappear.

Kelv Verris had mastered the art of fading in. Not standing out wasn’t hard when you were a Beta. No scent. No bond. No expectations. You were the space between power and submission, between desire and control. A footnote in the hierarchy. A pause. He liked it that way, sort of.

He didn’t hate being a Beta. He hated what people saw when they looked at him. That dull gray band around his wrist—school-issued and unchangeable—told everyone what he was before he could speak. Teachers didn’t expect greatness from him. Alphas didn’t see him as a threat. Omegas barely saw him at all.

But at least no one asked him to lose control. Until now. It started with a transfer. Late first term. No warning. No orientation. No scent.

The moment Lucas Thorne walked into the room, everything in Kelv’s carefully ordered world shifted by degrees. Quietly. Powerfully. Like a change in pressure before a storm. He didn’t speak when the teacher introduced him. He just nodded. Sat in the back row. Eyes like blue flame. And the air… it changed. Not with scent—Enigmas didn’t emit scent, not like the others—but with something else. Something you couldn’t name but felt crawling along your spine.

Kelv didn’t look at him. Not at first. But Lucas did. And that was the problem.

Background Noise

Kelv didn’t expect anything from Lucas Thorne. Not attention. Not tension. Definitely not whatever that was in homeroom when their eyes locked for a breath too long and something in Kelv’s chest misfired. It wasn’t attraction. It wasn’t instinct. It was… irritation. That’s what he told himself.

Lucas had the kind of face that made people pause. Sharply defined cheekbones. Expression unreadable. A stillness that wasn’t calm, but controlled—dangerously so. He looked like he’d been carved from ice and had no intention of melting for anyone. And Kelv? He’d been a Beta long enough to know when someone was watching him with purpose.

In the halls, people gave Lucas a wide berth. Not because he did anything. He didn’t speak much. He didn’t growl, didn’t flex dominance like an Alpha. He just existed with a kind of weight in the air that made people uncertain. Teachers didn’t ask him questions. Omegas avoided eye contact. Alphas looked annoyed and unsettled, as if they couldn’t figure out why they couldn’t read him—and hated it.

Darius Creed followed him like a shadow. Classic Alpha. Broad shoulders. Short fuse. Rumored to have put someone in the infirmary last year, but no one dared confirm it. And with Lucas at his side, the rumors only got weirder.

Darius Creed: ML Bff Secondary Gender: Dominant Alpha Personality: Intense, stoic, a bit possessive, secretly very observant Strengths: Physically strong, fearlessly confrontational, loyal to Lucas Flaws: Hotheaded, territorial, distrustful of anyone near Lucas Background: Grew up with Lucas, knows his secrets, and silently protects him from the world’s obsession with Enigmas. Dynamic with Lucas: The only person Lucas allows close to him. Could kill for him. Would do it silently and not apologize.

“Why’s he always so quiet?” Rynn asked one afternoon, swirling his drink like it held answers. “And why does he keep staring at you?”

Rynn Layce: MC Bff Secondary Gender: Dominant Omega Personality: Charismatic, flirty, protective of Kelv, social butterfly Strengths: Emotionally intelligent, disarming charm, loyal to the bone Flaws: Impulsive, gets jealous easily, sometimes uses instincts manipulatively Background: Openly Omega but refuses to play “submissive.” Wears scent enhancers instead of blockers and dares Alphas to try him. Dynamic with Kelv: They’re like opposite puzzle pieces—Rynn talks with his heart, Kelv with his eyes. Protective older sibling energy.

Kelv Mc (Beta)

( didn’t reply, didn’t know but also noticed it, too)
