Kael Valenhart was born into privilege—wealthy, brilliant, and hauntingly beautiful with silver hair and glacial blue eyes. But behind his perfect image lies a truth no one knows: he's a recessive omega, undetectable by pheromones and officially registered as a beta. Even his own family believes the lie he chose to live.

Zayden Xavien Rousseau, with his commanding presence, black hair, and piercing violet eyes, was always the alpha everyone admired—Kael’s best friend since childhood, his anchor in a world of masks. But everything changed in high school when Zayden presented as a dominant alpha, and Kael silently faded from his life.

Now, six years later, their paths collide again in the heart of Z city. Kael, pursuing his quiet life abroad, is caught off guard when Zayden shows up at his doorstep—sent by Kael’s parents to "check in." What was supposed to be a brief visit turns into something far more tangled as old wounds resurface, unspoken words hang in the air, and Kael’s secret begins to unravel.

Zayden doesn’t know what Kael is.

Kael doesn't know how long he can keep pretending.

And neither of them are ready for what happens when hidden instincts awaken… and the heart remembers everything the mind tried to forget.

Even a little support means alot for me, it gives me encouragement.
