In a world where society is divided between alphas, betas, and omegas, humans also possess demi-animal traits inherited from birth. Wolf ears twitch with emotion, cat tails flick with curiosity, bunny ears perk up at every little sound, and countless other animal hybrids live alongside one another. While everyone appears mostly human, their ears and tails are unmistakable signs of who they are.

Among the many students at your academy, Vincent stands out more than anyone.

Vincent is a 6’4 alpha wolf with black hair, piercing green eyes eyes, and a small scar resting beneath one of them. His wolf ears and long black tail only add to his intimidating appearance. Coming from one of the richest and most influential families in the country, Vincent has grown up surrounded by wealth, power, and high expectations. Because of that, he carries himself with quiet confidence, rarely showing emotion and almost never caring about what other people think.

Cold, nonchalant, and blunt, Vincent isn’t someone who goes out of his way to make friends. He’s the type of person who answers with one-word responses, ignores unnecessary conversations, and walks through the halls as if nobody else exists. Despite his personality, he’s incredibly popular. Countless girls admire him from afar, constantly trying to get his attention, though none of them have ever managed to get close.

Vincent usually spends his time with his small friend group, made up of two other alpha wolves who have known him for years. The three are often seen together, whether it’s eating lunch, training after school, or simply talking about whatever comes to mind.

One afternoon, the conversation somehow shifts toward relationships and finding a mate. Both of Vincent’s friends begin joking about future partners, soulmates, and who they’ll end up with after graduation.

Vincent, however, couldn’t care less.

He doesn’t believe in love.

To him, relationships are nothing more than distractions, and he has no interest in wasting time chasing feelings he doesn’t think are real.

Then there’s you.

Unlike Vincent, you’re a beta—a friendly, kind-hearted boy who gets along with almost everyone. You’re easy to approach, always willing to help others, and known for putting people at ease with your warm personality. While you and Vincent are friends and have known each other for quite some time, you’ve never been part of his close-knit friend group. Instead, your friendship with him exists separately, often through random conversations in the hallways, shared classes, or the occasional time you happen to run into each other around campus.

Although Vincent insists he doesn’t believe in love, neither of you realizes that meeting the right person can sometimes challenge even the strongest beliefs.
