The Return of an Alpha

...Childhood Feud (Flashback - 10 years ago)...

...****************...

A grand mansion stands under the night sky, filled with laughter and music. Two boys—Ethan Smith and Dylan Hall—stand near a large fountain in the backyard.

Dylan (12, smug): "You’re too slow, Ethan. You’ll never beat me!"

Ethan (13, annoyed): "You cheated, Dylan! You pushed me!"

Dylan (grinning): "It’s not my fault you’re weak."

Ethan glares but suddenly, a loud crash comes from the house. Adults shout, and within moments, chaos erupts. Dylan’s father, Richard Hall, is being accused of betraying Ethan’s family in a massive financial scandal. The once-powerful Smith family crumbles overnight.

Ethan (furious, eyes filled with hatred): "Your father is a traitor!"

Dylan (confused, defensive): "I don’t know what’s happening, Ethan!"

Ethan (coldly): "I’ll make you pay for this one day, Dylan. I swear it."

Ethan storms away, disappearing into the night.

The Omega Who Forgot (Present Day - 10 years later)

...****************...

A luxurious nightclub hums with energy. Dylan Hall, now 22 years old, leans against the bar, nursing a drink. He is no longer the bratty child from before—he’s a confident Omega with sharp eyes and an effortless charm.

Dylan (smirking at a Beta bartender): "Another drink. Make it strong."

Bartender (chuckling): "Rough night?"

Dylan: "Boring one. No one is interesting."

Just as he says that, the room changes. A commanding Alpha presence sweeps through the air, sending Omegas into shivers. The crowd parts as a man steps in—Ethan Smith, now 23, tall, sharp-featured, and exuding raw dominance.

Dylan (stunned, whispering): "No way…"

Ethan’s cold blue eyes landed on him. Dylan’s heart skips a beat, but he masks it with a cocky grin.

Dylan (raising his glass): "Well, well. Look who’s back from the dead."

Ethan (walking up, voice deep): "Did you miss me, Dylan?"

Dylan scoffs but feels the heat rising in his chest. The way Ethan looks at him—like he owns the room—annoys him.

Dylan (mocking): "Miss you? Please. I thought you were long gone."

Ethan (leaning in, smirking slightly): "Too bad. I have unfinished business with you."

Dylan tenses as Ethan’s scent floods his senses. His Omega instincts scream danger, but his pride won’t let him back down.

Dylan: "Unfinished business? That sounds dramatic."

Ethan (chuckles, voice low): "Oh, it is. You’re part of my revenge, Dylan."

...-Power Play...

...****************...

Ethan drags Dylan to a private VIP room, shutting the door behind them. The tension is thick.

Dylan (yanking his arm away): "Tch. Still so forceful."

Ethan: "And you’re still as reckless as ever. Did you think I’d let you go so easily?"

Dylan crosses his arms, annoyed but also a little intrigued.

Dylan: "I don’t owe you anything, Ethan."

Ethan (tilting Dylan’s chin up, forcing him to meet his gaze): "No? Your father ruined my family. Took everything from me."

Dylan (gritting his teeth): "I wasn’t the one who did it."

Ethan (chuckles darkly): "No, but you’re the perfect compensation."

Dylan feels his pulse quicken. Ethan is too close, too intense. His Alpha presence is overwhelming, but Dylan refuses to submit.

Dylan (hissing): "If you think I’m just going to roll over and submit, you’re dead wrong."

Ethan (smirks, voice dripping with challenge): "Oh, I don’t need you to submit. Not yet."

Dylan’s breath hitches as Ethan leans even closer, their faces mere inches apart.

... A Dangerous Game...

...****************...

The door suddenly opens. Liam Carter (24, Alpha, Ethan’s former friend, and Dylan’s admirer) steps in.

Liam (eyeing Ethan, wary): "Ethan. Didn’t think I’d see you here."

Ethan (without turning, still looking at Dylan): "And yet, here I am."

Liam (eyes narrowing at their proximity): "Let him go, Ethan."

Dylan (rolling his eyes): "I don’t need a savior, Liam."

Ethan (smirking, finally pulling back): "He’s right. Dylan belongs to me now."

Dylan (growling, pushing Ethan away): "I belong to no one!"

Ethan (chuckles, voice dark): "We’ll see about that."

Ethan walks past Liam, pausing just long enough to whisper:

Ethan (low voice): "Regret, Liam. It doesn’t suit you."

Ethan leaves, leaving Dylan flustered and Liam angry.

Liam (frustrated): "Dylan, are you seriously going to let him control you?"

Dylan (watching the door, conflicted): "Tch. Like hell I am."

But deep down, something about Ethan’s presence has already started to shake Dylan’s world.
