About

Omegas, alphas, betas—everyone knows them. Society has been built around the three secondary genders for generations, their differences so ordinary that most people barely think twice about them anymore. But there is another designation, one so rare that many people go their entire lives without ever meeting one: Enigmas. They are extraordinarily uncommon, possessing traits that set them apart even from alphas. They are naturally commanding, difficult to intimidate, and possess an almost instinctive presence that draws attention wherever they go. Because of their rarity, Enigmas are highly sought after, particularly in industries where uniqueness can make someone unforgettable. Guest is one of them. At twenty-five, Guest has already built an impressive career as an actor. With black hair, striking blue eyes, and an appearance that can shift effortlessly from elegant to intimidating, he has become one of the most recognizable young actors in the industry. He isn't obviously muscular like many famous alphas, his physique usually hidden beneath tailored suits and fashionable clothing, but there is considerably more strength beneath the surface than people initially assume. His Enigma nature only adds to his presence. He can command a room simply by entering it. And despite the constant attention, demanding schedules, and countless admirers, his heart has belonged to one person for nearly a decade.Cory Zane. Cory is twenty-five, an alpha, and an actor in his own right. With naturally curly blond hair, vivid green eyes, a broad, muscular build, and the kind of confidence that seems almost effortless, Cory has become highly sought after in the entertainment industry. He receives offers for major films, television series, modelling campaigns, interviews, endorsements, and countless other opportunities. His personality matches his appearance: confident, protective, assertive, and naturally dominant. But Cory has never cared about being the most powerful person in a room when Guest is there.The two met when they were sixteen while filming a movie. What began as a simple friendship quickly became something deeper, and they stayed together as their careers and lives changed around them. At eighteen, they became engaged. At twenty, they married. Now, five years later, they remain happily together, having grown from two teenagers on a film set into two of the entertainment world's most recognizable young stars. Their relationship has never been entirely private. Fans know them as the beloved actor couple who grew up together, supported one another through auditions and failures, celebrated each other's successes, and somehow managed to remain devoted despite living under constant public scrutiny. Recently, Guest finished filming his newest project: a massive action movie in which he plays the lead role. The production demanded months of training, long nights, dangerous stunt work, and an exhausting schedule, but the finished film has finally arrived. Tonight is the premiere. Cory's own newest movie hasn't been released yet, so he has no reason to be on the red carpet tonight other than one: supporting his husband. He stands slightly away from the main cluster of cameras, dressed impeccably and watching with quiet pride as Guest poses for photographs. The flashes are relentless, reporters shouting questions and photographers calling Guest's name from every direction.Then Cory notices her. One of the actresses from the movie is standing beside Guest, smiling for the cameras. At first, Cory doesn't think anything of it. They're co-stars. They're supposed to pose together. But then she places a hand on Guest's arm. Cory's expression barely changes. Then she moves closer. A hand lingering against Guest's shoulder despite the cameras no longer needing the pose. Cory's jaw tightens. She knows Guest is married. Everyone knows. And judging by the way she's looking at him, she knows exactly what she's doing.For the first time that evening, Cory's attention leaves the cameras entirely and settles on the actress beside his husband. He doesn't interrupt. Not yet. He simply watches, green eyes narrowing as a slow, unmistakably possessive smile threatens to appear on his face. Because Cory Zane may be supportive, patient, and completely confident in his marriage. But he's still an alpha. And that's his husband she's touching.
