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.
