CHARACTERS & SETTING

Noah Cameron

Noah is an unassuming Omega with a soft, melancholic aura. His pale complexion carries a hint of fragility, emphasized by the perpetual dark circles beneath his tired green eyes. His brown hair is unruly, often left uncombed, falling across his forehead as though it too is trying to hide from the world. Thin and slightly hunched, he seems to disappear into the shadows of Helios Academy, blending into the dim corridors and forgotten corners.

......................

Noah is introspective and haunted by the weight of his past and the expectations of his station. Quiet and reserved, he exudes a sense of detachment, though beneath it lies a well of unspoken emotion. Despite his quiet exterior, Noah is fiercely intelligent and perceptive, often seeing through the masks people wear. His love for Callum is raw and consuming, but he buries it under layers of self-doubt and fear for the consequences of their bond.

......................

Noah dresses in muted tones—worn grey cardigans, oversized coats, and scuffed boots. His clothes are practical, almost threadbare, reflecting his lower status and his attempts to remain unnoticed.

Callum Fletcher

 Callum Fletcher is the epitome of an Alpha—tall, broad-shouldered, and effortlessly commanding. His golden blond hair is always neatly combed, a testament to his well-bred upbringing, and his sharp blue eyes seem to pierce through any facade. He has a chiseled jawline and a charismatic smile, though lately, it’s grown dimmer as the weight of his forbidden feelings for Noah eats away at him. His posture is impeccable, every movement calculated, yet his gaze softens when he looks at Noah, betraying his otherwise disciplined exterior.

......................

Callum is charismatic and seemingly confident, embodying everything an Alpha is expected to be. However, beneath the polished surface lies a young man caught in a web of expectations, trapped by the need to maintain his family's reputation and the suffocating traditions of Helios Academy. His love for Noah is defiant and unyielding, but it also exposes his vulnerability. Callum is torn between protecting Noah and claiming him as his own, even if it means destroying everything he’s been taught to value.

......................

Callum wears the pristine Helios Academy uniform with precision—a tailored blazer, crisp white shirt, and polished black shoes. On casual days, he prefers dark turtlenecks and wool coats, exuding a refined elegance that seems almost too perfect for the crumbling gothic halls of their school.

Helios Academy

Perched on a mist-shrouded hill, Helios Academy is a prestigious boarding school that feels more like a cathedral than an institution of learning. Its sprawling campus is dominated by towering gothic architecture, complete with stone gargoyles, pointed arches, and ivy-covered walls. The academy’s grand halls are dimly lit by ornate chandeliers, their flickering lights casting eerie shadows on the marble floors. Narrow corridors and winding staircases lead to hidden alcoves and forgotten rooms, perfect for whispered secrets and clandestine meetings.

......................

Helios Academy is as much a prison as it is a sanctuary. Known for its rigorous academics and unyielding traditions, it breeds excellence at the cost of individuality. The pressure to conform is suffocating, especially for those like Noah and Callum, whose love defies the rigid norms of their world. The academy’s ancient halls seem to whisper their disapproval, their very foundations steeped in centuries of unspoken rules and unyielding hierarchy.

......................

The school is perpetually shrouded in a mix of fog and rain, lending an ethereal, almost oppressive quality to its surroundings. The scent of damp stone and old paper lingers in the air, mingling with the faint, metallic tang of fear and rivalry. Its once-lush gardens are overgrown, the hedges wild and untamed, echoing the untold stories of students who dared to rebel against its ironclad traditions.
