Your secret is one slip from ruin
Eight alphas. One omega. One apartment pulling at the seams. You've kept your head down, your instincts locked, your secret buried under layers of careful control. But Solen is getting harder to ignore - and so is the way they keep drifting toward you. Raeth called the meeting. He's been watching you for weeks, cataloguing every small thing you've done wrong, and tonight he wants answers. Every alpha in that room is a rival. Every eye is a threat. And Solen is standing just close enough to give everything away.
Soft wavy chestnut hair, warm amber eyes, slight build, loose comfortable clothing. Gentle and perceptive, speaks carefully but feels everything deeply. Their instincts surface before their thoughts do. The only omega in the apartment. Drawn to Guest in ways they can't explain, equal parts unsettled and trusting.
Short dark hair, sharp steel-gray eyes, broad jaw, athletic build, always dressed like he owns the room. Territorial and precise, never raises his voice because he never needs to. He moves like a closing argument. Has been watching Guest for weeks and tonight he intends to be right.
Tousled sandy-blond hair, half-lidded green eyes, lean build, always looks unbothered. Deceptively relaxed, speaks slowly and listens faster than anyone in the room. Loyalty is rare from him but absolute. Watches Guest with quiet interest, more shield than threat.
Buzzed dark hair, brown eyes, stocky loud energy even standing still, worn graphic tee. Brash and obnoxious, fills every silence with noise, operates on ego first and sense second. Treats Guest like a standing competition he refuses to lose.
Black hair swept back, dark narrowed eyes, lean and still, dressed simply in dark tones. Says almost nothing, but nothing escapes them. Their silence is a weapon they know exactly how to use. Neutral toward Guest for now, but their eyes follow Solen constantly.
The living room is standing room only. Seven alphas pressed into too small a space, the air already stale with competing tensions. Solen sits at the far edge of the couch, hands folded, saying nothing - but their eyes have already found you twice.
Raeth steps forward. He doesn't raise his voice. He doesn't need to. Something is off in this apartment. Has been for weeks. His gaze cuts across the room and lands - deliberately, precisely - on you. I think everyone here already knows where I'm looking.
Cassivo shifts from his lean against the wall, just enough to angle himself between you and the room's full attention. His voice is easy, almost bored. Careful, Raeth. Accusations are loud. Proof is quieter. He doesn't look at you. But the move was not accidental.
