00:00Damn it. I didn't want to get pregnant. Today is Lily's naming ceremony. Half of New York's
00:07upper crust crams into the Hartwell estate. I stand in the nursery, pulling a white dress
00:13over Lily's head. She just woke up. Amber eyes, half-lidded, staring up at me. I hold that gaze
00:22for three seconds. Then I look away. Blackthorn amber. A genetic mark passed down through every
00:29alpha in their line. I knew this before I ever got pregnant. It's the fact I've dreaded all year.
00:38I pull her against my chest and press my forehead to hers. Her baby powder scent carries the faintest
00:44trace of cedar. Felix's alpha pheromone residue, soaked into her from the womb. No amount of
00:51suppressants can scrub it out. Doesn't matter. Everyone will assume it rubbed off from my alpha
00:57scent. An alpha father holding his baby. Smelling like an alpha. Nothing strange. Nobody will think
01:06twice. I turn to the mirror for one final check. The suppressant patch sits flush against my nape gland.
01:17Shirt collar hiding its edges. Synthetic alpha pheromone spray. Cedar and cold iron. Coats my skin in an
01:26even layer. Bearing the salted caramel underneath. This is my alpha scent. 20 years of pretending.
01:37Satisfied. I carry Lily downstairs.
01:43Satisfied. The guest swarm. Look at those eyes. The spitting image of a heart-willed alpha.
01:53All the best heart-willed genes. Born with the heart-field bearing. Arthur's got his heir.
02:13Arthur thumps his cane. His cloudy eyes brim with pride. Unlike the Blackthorns. This generation, not a single heir.
02:25Serves them right. My arms tighten around Lily. Grandpa, you're talking about your great-granddaughter's
02:33other family. I'll take this to my grave. Hartwell and Blackthorn are sworn enemies. My daughter is the
02:41sole Blackthorn heir of this generation. The only one. I need to change the subject fast.
02:48Grandpa. Babies have weak immune systems. Let me take Lily back upstairs to rest.
02:56The longer we're out here, the higher the risk. I have no idea what Arthur would do if he found
03:02out his alpha
03:02heir is an omega. Of course my mouth has other plans. Arthur says, fine. And a scream rips through the
03:12hall.
03:19She's awake. My rotten luck.
03:26Every good wish backfires. I fumble to soothe her. The harder I try, the louder Lily screams until half the
03:36party can hear her.
03:37Total chaos. Then the crowd ripples.
03:42Wait. The baby has amber eyes.
03:49Look at that.
03:51Maybe I'm seeing things, but those amber eyes look just like the Blackthorn outfits.
03:57Even Arthur frowns. He's never seen Lily with her eyes open.
04:03I clap a hand over Lily's face. My brain misfires and I blurt out.
04:09Her mother is biracial.
04:11Smooth. An alpha hooks up with a biracial omega. Biracial jeans. Amber eyes. Makes perfect sense.
04:19If anyone found out I'd had my sworn enemy's kid, my great-grandfather would claw out of his coffin.
04:24Then across the room, a voice biting clenched.
04:32Nice try, Zane.
04:34You really expect anyone to buy that?
04:37When exactly did you find a bioracial omega?
04:41How come I didn't know?
04:43My stomach drops.
04:45I step back.
04:48Felix Blackthorn.
04:49The crowd parts, not by choice.
04:52Alpha pheromone pressure shoves them aside.
04:55Betas stumble.
04:57Lower-tier alphas turn their heads.
04:59Felix walks through, black custom suit.
05:02Sleeves rolled up, forearms corded with veins.
05:05Dark brown hair.
05:07Not a strand out of place.
05:09He looks like a drawn blade.
05:12Then he looks up, amber eyes.
05:15The same gold as the baby in my arms.
05:17Fixed on my daughter.
05:19His cedar scent hit my lungs.
05:21My omega instinct flinched.
05:24I locked my knees.
05:49His horses do not mix.
05:50He's even broke.
05:50He worth warning.
05:50He's tikkin' Regel out.
05:52He'sуск tying to his feet in the floor.
06:03Strikin' the floor.
06:05You weren't invited, Felix.
06:08His ferriments clash with Felix's cedar.
06:11The two families' alpha scents repel each other on contact.
06:14everyone can smell it these houses do not mix I take my chance and bolt for
06:24the stairs Felix is faster he blocks my path the crimson hasn't fully faded from
06:32his irises the pressure of his scent makes my legs shake Zane the baby's
06:42Lily erupts again louder than before shrieking I can't answer I'm too busy
06:50trying to calm her but nothing works she writhes and kicks then a voice above my
06:56head let me hold her I want to say no I can't control her I grit my teeth and
07:10hand her over the moment Felix's arms close around Lily the crying stops Lily
07:19blinks her amber eyes find his amber eyes same color one big one small like
07:26looking in a mirror she goes quiet in her alpha father's arms she settles
07:35pheromone resonance a child born of an alpha and an omega instinctively
07:40gravitates toward the alpha father's scent
07:44the most basic law of abo biology Felix notices his arms stiffen he looks down at
07:52his daughter's calm face then at the amber eyes that match his own
07:57slowly he raises his head crimson still ringing his pupils he meets my eyes
08:06Zane whose baby is this I clap back without thinking I just told you her
08:12mother is biracial I had a brief thing with an omega overseas she didn't want to
08:19be involved I paid her off but as he passes me he stops one second volume only I can
08:28hear Zane I know it was you that night he walks out I stand frozen cold sweat down
08:37my back his pheromone residue clings to my skin like a brand on my name how does he
08:43know that night with Felix was an accident Hartwell and Blackthorn are sworn enemies but
08:51he and I grew up together blame our grandfather's obsession with one-upping each other every time
08:59we met it turned into a bragging match between the old men Felix's parents were fine they didn't
09:06hate the Hartwell's it was Arthur and Richard who couldn't stand each other
09:14then something went wrong between us I pulled away first the accident happened at the Vanderbilt
09:21annual charity gala the biggest social event in NYC's upper crust both families always attend
09:28but they stick to their corners an armed truce in black tie that night Felix was there across the
09:36ballroom half a room away and I could smell him his alpha pheromones cut through the crowd and
09:42drilled straight into my nose suppressants couldn't block it my Omega instinct has never behaved around
09:52him every time I catch Felix's scent my body flips a switch temperature rising nape heating knees wanting to
10:07I ducked into a bathroom stall pulled out the cover-up spray unloaded it back in the ballroom
10:51already because there's a difficult time if I was a kid who's going to be my mother and I think
10:52that's
10:52an important thing that I have been a good friend for my baby I think I have to get back
10:52to my
10:52you know a nice boy from our DHS in the infuse of this year
10:52I like me to make thisSU tall but this is a nice boy as an old man who's waiting for
10:52me to
10:52people I want to come down and look forward to my daughters and that's what I want to do
10:52this is the same thing that I like to open up and look at the bottom line of the lady
10:55you want to know and think that that's going to be a big part of the wife today
11:00by our father's investigation this is the same thing that's going to be an old woman's
11:04Through the crowd, Felix sent Grose Thicker Closer.
11:12He knew something's wrong.
11:16His voice came behind me.
11:19Zane.
11:20I turned.
11:25Felix stood at the other end of the corridor.
11:28His amber eyes had darkened, nostrils flaring.
11:31He smelt my omega scent.
11:37I watch his pupils shift.
11:40Gold darkening.
11:41Red bleeding in.
11:45Just him and me in the corridor.
11:48He took a step toward me.
11:50I took a step back.
11:52My shoulder blades hit the wall.
11:54Nowhere left to go.
11:56I tried to run past him.
11:58Heat hit too fast.
11:59My hand drifted to my nape.
12:02Rubbing on instinct.
12:03The patch ripped off.
12:05The moment my gland hit open air.
12:08The fake alpha scent evaporated.
12:11Synthetic cedar and cold iron was gone.
12:15Real salted caramel and black tea flooded out like a dam breaking.
12:19He stopped one meter away.
12:22Chest heaving.
12:23Nostrils flaring.
12:24He smelled it.
12:26Then something dropped inside my lower belly.
12:28Like my organs were rearranging themselves.
12:31Pulling down in waves.
12:33Pain buckled me over.
12:35I remembered what my friend and Dr. Theo told me.
12:42During heat.
12:43And Omega's womb descends from dormancy.
12:46The body prepares for conception.
12:49His words turned into blades.
12:51Cutting me from the inside out.
13:24To run my wrist.
13:27His burning fingers pressed against the pulse point on my inner wrist.
13:31My heart beat pounded like a caged animal under his grip.
13:36He pulled me into a guest room on the second floor.
13:39He pinned me to the door.
13:41His nose brushed mine.
13:42Then drifted lower.
13:44And the bite on my nape was already starting to bruise.
13:47His heart beat against my palm.
13:48Fast.
13:51Woke up the next morning.
13:53Body sore.
13:55I caught sight of Felix beside me.
13:58He lay still.
13:59Eyes closed.
14:00Hand resting on my waist.
14:02Possessive even in sleep.
14:04My brain stalled for a few seconds.
14:07The bite mark on my neck throbbed.
14:09His pheromones still lingered inside me.
14:12Now the biggest problem.
14:13Felix Blackthorn knew my deepest secret.
14:17Zane Hartwell is not an Alpha.
14:20Zane Hartwell is an Omega.
14:22My blood ran cold.
14:23I looked at his face.
14:26My hand drifted to his abs without thinking.
14:29Stayed for one second.
14:33Impressive.
14:34But this wasn't the time.
14:36I couldn't give him chance to reveal my secret.
14:39I had to leave.
14:42I scrubbed every trace.
14:45Blocked Felix on everything.
14:48Went back to my apartment.
14:50Stocked up on emergency suppressants and fresh Alpha spray.
14:54No going back now.
15:00I stared at the two pink lines on the pregnancy test.
15:03My hands trembled as I dropped it into the trash can.
15:06Then fished it right back out.
15:10A Hartwell Alpha Air pregnant was the same as telling the whole world I was an Omega.
15:17That was a death sentence.
15:19I had to end it.
15:20I drove to the clinic and lay down on the operating table.
15:24Cold gel spread across my stomach.
15:26The ultrasound wand pressed into my skin.
15:31A tiny heart pulsed on the monitor beside me.
15:34My hand lifted off the table and settled over my belly before I could stop it.
15:38I sat up and swung my legs off the table.
15:44I can't do this.
15:47The words came out broken.
15:50I walked out of the clinic and called Theo from the pecking lot.
15:54He showed up at my apartment two hours later with a duffel bag and two pharmacy bags.
15:59He unloaded pregnancy safe suppressants and a forged due date onto my kitchen counter.
16:07Who's the father?
16:08Theo.
16:09Theo.
16:10I'm not telling you.
16:13He pulled out a chair and started cracking blister packs.
16:17Sorting pills into daily piles.
16:23Your suppressors need to change.
16:26These ones will harm the baby.
16:27I already got you the right ones.
16:29Same hands that had been forging my Alpha compliance report since college.
16:34I'm telling everyone I had a brief relationship with Omega Oversee.
16:36They didn't want to be involved.
16:40I paid them off.
16:45That's the story you're going with?
16:49It's the only one that keeps me alive.
16:52He held my gaze for three seconds.
16:55Then went back to the pills.
16:58I packed a single suitcase and left NYC for over half a year.
17:03I lay alone on a hospital bed in a foreign country.
17:06One hand gripping the bed rail and the other clutching my phone.
17:10Felix's name glowed on my screen.
17:12Still blocked.
17:14My thumb hovered over the unblock button until the screen went dark.
17:20I dropped the phone on the pillow and bit down on my other hand as another contraction hit.
17:25How does he still remember?
17:26How does he know it was me that night?
17:33I know it was you that night.
17:36Felix's voice echoed in my head all night.
17:41The next morning, the internet exploded.
17:45Hashtag Blackthornalphopstartant trended at number one.
17:48Crushing every other headline.
17:50The gossip hounds went feral.
17:54Guess all those years of sworn enemies had a different subtext.
17:59My nemesis got pregnant.
18:01Now I'm stepping up as the baby stepdad.
18:05Stepdad?
18:06That's the biological father.
18:09I knelt in front of Arthur, listening to him grind out the comments through clenched teeth.
18:20Zane!
18:21I snapped to attention.
18:26Sir.
18:28Tell me, who is Lily's biological mother?
18:33Who else?
18:34Felix Blackthorn.
18:37But I'd rather swallow glass than say that out loud.
18:44Grandpa, I told you.
18:46Lily's other parent is a bioracial omega.
18:50I wasn't technically lying.
18:52Felix has one-eighth foreign ancestry.
18:55That counts as biracial.
18:59I swear to you.
19:00I'm not lying about that.
19:05Otherwise, may Lily's other parent.
19:08Before I could finish, a voice floated from the doorway.
19:16Otherwise, what about the child's father?
19:20My head snapped up.
19:22Felix and his grandfather Richard stood in the doorway, watching me with barely concealed amusement.
19:28Great. I just swore an oath on the very man I was hiding.
19:33I shut my mouth and lowered my head like a scalded child.
19:38Arthur glared at the doorway.
19:44Blackthorn.
19:46What are you doing here?
19:49Ahem.
19:51I'm here to offer congratulations, of course.
19:56Richard tugged his beard.
19:58Eyes darting everywhere but at Arthur.
20:01My stomach dropped.
20:03Richard never talked to Arthur like this.
20:05Which meant one thing.
20:07He knew Lily was Felix's.
20:09I'm dead.
20:12Arthur, my friend.
20:15Let me see your little princess.
20:18Felix will be her stepdad soon enough anyway.
20:20Richard was practically bouncing.
20:25Just a peek.
20:28Stepdad.
20:29Felix didn't tell Richard the truth.
20:31I stole a glance at Felix.
20:33He was already looking at me.
20:35The second our eyes met, my breath caught.
20:38His gaze was unfiltered.
20:42Predatory.
20:43And something else.
20:45Something burning I couldn't name.
20:48Wait.
20:49Does he actually have a crush on me?
20:52I dropped my head and scrambled for evidence.
20:55But found nothing.
20:59Arthur looked bewildered.
21:02Have you lost your mind?
21:04Richard said nothing.
21:07Still skeptical, Arthur's gaze shifted to Felix.
21:12Since when do Blackthorns beg to play daddy?
21:19Old Blackthorn can't be that generous.
21:22Then Arthur said something that nearly made me choke.
21:28Blackthorn, is your boy shooting blanks?
21:32Is that why he wants my grandson as cover?
21:35Arthur's voice hit a new pitch.
21:38That bombshell silenced all of us.
21:43If Felix were infertile, where did my baby come from?
21:48When Richard finally got Lily in his arms.
21:51He looked at those amber eyes.
21:53Matching Felix's.
21:55One big, one small.
21:57Identical gold, Arthur figured it out.
21:59He turned on me.
22:01Teeth gritted.
22:07You said Lily's other parent was biracial.
22:10Those eyes are identical.
22:14And you're telling me biracial?
22:16I mumbled my defense.
22:20Felix is biracial.
22:22I didn't lie.
22:24Arthur choked on his own rage and kept hammering his cane.
22:27Your great grandfather is going to claw out of his coffin because of you!
22:34I didn't argue.
22:36If my great grandfather's climbing out, so is Felix's.
22:40Then who disciplines who is anyone's guess?
22:45After the truth came out, Arthur couldn't stand the sight of Richard.
22:55Especially with Richard cradling Lily and grinning like an idiot.
22:59Oh, my precious great granddaughter.
23:04So adorable.
23:06Blackthorn.
23:08That's make my...
23:09her granddaughter.
23:11Arthur wasn't backing down.
23:16She's mine too.
23:20Like hell!
23:22Lily is his Hartwell blood!
23:26Blackthorn blood too!
23:29Hartwell!
23:32Blackthorn!
23:33You old snake.
23:36Your family line is dying out,
23:39so you're claiming my great granddaughter?
23:42Dream on!
23:44While the grandfathers tore into each other,
23:46Felix had already hauled me into the next room.
23:50The door slammed.
23:52He pinned me against it.
23:54His eyes...
23:59He avec him,
24:01never ends...
24:05We should have to open the door,
24:06He gives help for God!
24:06No more,
24:07there's noASEof.
24:16They are just on the right.
24:17You are talking continues.
24:18Be sure to keep the simple clip,
24:18See you!
24:28Last step...
24:33That's not exactly grounds for a manhunt.
29:49So that's what you look like.
29:49He studied me.
29:49enemies. What's a sworn enemy? I didn't understand. Felix explained. It means we're on
29:59opposite sides. My eyes went wide. So you're my sworn enemy? Five-year-old Felix seemed
30:09confused, shook his head, then nodded. Our grandpads are sworn enemies. We're not. He sat there for a
30:22long time before he came up with that. Then you're my friend. I was so excited I kissed him on
30:33the
30:34cheek. Teacher said you kiss people you like. Five-year-old Felix turned bright red. Stammered
30:42that you can't just kiss people. I was confused. Don't you kiss people you like? After that,
30:53even though our grandfathers were still at war, we became good friends in secret. He told me very
30:59seriously that friends don't kiss. That lasted all the way to high school until I overheard Felix
31:07talking to his friend. Felix's friend knew about our family's feud and had no filter when he talked.
31:19Felix, how long are you going to keep competing with the Heart Wheel Air?
31:25Elementary school, middle school, now high school. You're not going to do this forever,
31:31are you? We were private friends, but also public competitors. All these years, aren't you tired
31:41of it? Made sense. Constant competition would wear anyone down. Tired. But Felix's one-word answer
31:50dragged me into the abyss. He was tired, of course he was. Public rivals. Private friends. Years of that.
31:58Anyone would burn out. He probably didn't like me. Maybe I'd been fooling myself all along.
32:04Our families were sworn enemies. No matter how hard I tried, that fact wouldn't change. Better to kill
32:11the feeling before it grew any deeper. But that wasn't the only thing. But another time, at a social event,
32:18an Omega stranger's pheromone spiraled out of control. Felix released calming pheromones.
32:25I smelled them. Fireplace smoke and hot cocoa. A scent he'd never released for me.
32:30He was so gentle with that Omega. But he'd never been like that with me. I wasn't special.
32:38Another time, at a joint business event.
32:48The End
32:49The End
32:49.
33:19.
33:52.
33:54The question wouldn't leave me alone.
34:00But, but he never acted on it.
34:04Not in high school, not in college, not after we started working.
34:09Not until that night when he discovered I was an Omega, then he came after me.
34:14If he hadn't smelled my Omega pheromones, would he have come at all?
34:19Does he love me, or does he love my Omega scent?
34:24This thought was a splinter. Once it went in, I couldn't dig it out.
34:30Felix learned to take care of Lily fast.
34:33I'd walk into the nursery at midnight and find him already there.
34:37One hand cradled her head, the other held the bottle at the right angle.
34:41He'd peeled off his suit jacket and laid it beside her.
34:44Cedar and cigar seeped into the crib mattress.
34:47Lily's tiny fists grabbed at the fabric.
34:49She was calmed by her Alpha father's scent.
34:52I stood in the doorway and watched that jacket drenched in his pheromones.
34:56My chest tightened and I couldn't name the feeling.
34:59One evening, Felix was feeding Lily on the couch.
35:03I sat across from him.
35:06His Alpha pheromones bled out without warning.
35:09He released them for me more and more often now.
35:12My body leaned toward him before I could stop it.
35:17My breath deepened.
35:19Heat crept up my nape under the patch.
35:22I snapped upright and gripped the armrest hard enough to hurt my fingers.
35:26I hated this.
35:2720 years of suppressing my Omega instincts.
35:30And in front of him they were tissue paper thin.
36:2810 years of
36:30.
37:05I thought it would happen to me.
37:10Felix didn't explain and didn't argue.
37:13He did things I couldn't ignore.
37:16He laid his suit jacket outside my bedroom door.
37:20Cedar and cigar seeped in through the gap,
37:23like a hand stroking my nape through the door.
37:25Midnight, I smelled Cedar in the hallway.
37:28He hadn't left.
37:29He was sitting outside my door, keeping watch all night.
37:33The third day, I found a cup of hot cocoa by Lily's crib.
37:37Perfect temperature.
37:39His soothing pheromones infused into the ceramic.
37:43When Theo came to drop off my suppressants,
37:46he glanced at the jacket by the door,
37:48then at Felix's shut guest room at the end of the hall.
37:51Sighed.
37:53He sits outside your door every night.
37:57Theo.
38:00I didn't ask him to.
38:07I know.
38:08But his rut hit last night.
38:12Locked himself in the guest room.
38:17Punched the wall until his knuckles bled.
38:24I heard it.
38:25I stayed silent for a long time.
38:28Theo.
38:31He doesn't have to do this.
38:38He's not doing anything.
38:41Theo set the suppressants on the table.
38:47He's just surviving.
38:49Without your permission, he won't come near.
38:52But he can't leave either.
38:54That night, I lay in bed.
38:57The gland under my patch throbbed.
38:59The cedar leaking under my door made me feel safe and broke my heart at the same time.
39:05During the day, when Felix handed Lily back to me, his thumb brushed my nape, one second.
39:11Blackwood pheromone seeped from his fingertip into my gland like a thin film settling on my skin.
39:17Sent marking.
39:18An alpha coats an anxious mate with their pheromones to soothe and claim them.
39:22He probably didn't even realize he was doing it.
39:25But I felt it.
39:26That pheromone film was like a hand pressing on my nape.
39:29His hand.
39:30No force.
39:31Only warmth.
39:33I closed my eyes and told myself this isn't love.
39:36This is a pheromone trap.
39:37But if it's really a trap, why was he the one hurting most when my scent soured?
39:45The suppressants started failing.
39:47Not the drug's fault.
39:49It was me.
39:50Constant stress.
39:51Pheromone whiplash.
39:53Sleeping surrounded by Felix's alpha scent every night but never touching.
40:00My body was cracking.
40:03Heat broke at midnight.
40:05I jolted upright in bed.
40:07Skin on fire.
40:08The patch was already gone.
40:10My gland hit open air and salted caramel flooded out.
40:14I curled up on the bed.
40:16Grabbed Felix's suit jacket from the door.
40:18And buried my face in it.
40:20All his scent.
40:24I started nesting.
40:27Omegas nest before heat or when they feel utterly unsafe.
40:31They gather alpha scented items.
40:33Build a circle on the bed.
40:35Curl up inside.
40:36I knew what this was.
40:38I'd never nested before.
40:4020 years of suppressants had nearly killed my omega instincts.
40:45But my body was more honest than my mind.
40:48I crawled off the bed and dragged his jacket from the door.
40:52I stumbled to the living room and grabbed his scarf.
40:55The cushion had sat on.
40:58I hauled everything back and piled it in a circle on the mattress.
41:03His scent was everywhere now.
41:06Cedar and cigar closing in around me.
41:10I crawled into the center and curled up with my knees to my chest.
41:14My skin was burning.
41:15Sweat rolled down my temples.
41:17The room blurred and sharpened in waves.
41:21Outside the door.
41:22Footsteps stopped.
41:24Felix had smelled it.
41:26I heard his back hit the door as he sat down.
41:29The wood creaked under his weight.
41:33He didn't push it open.
41:36Then...
41:37His voice was raw like he was crushing something inside.
41:45Do you want me to come in?
41:47I pressed my forehead against the floor.
41:52I didn't want to admit I needed an alpha.
41:5420 years of hiding wasn't so an alpha could rescue me.
41:58But my throat vibrated on its own.
42:01A low, rumbling sound I'd never made before came out of me.
42:05Purring, like a cat.
42:07Purring.
42:07I'd never made that sound.
42:09It's a throat vibration omegas produce in deep contentment when an alpha soothes them.
42:14I clamped my hand over my mouth.
42:16I hated myself.
42:18But heat didn't burn me to ash entirely.
42:20A sliver of clarity remained at the very bottom.
42:24I knew what I was doing.
42:26I knew what the alpha outside that door would do.
42:29I chose.
42:34Come in.
42:37Felix pushed the door open and stopped in the doorway.
42:40I was curled in his jacket.
42:42Gland flushed red.
42:44Salted caramel so thick the air turned sweet.
42:47His pupils dilated.
42:49Crimson flooded in from the edges.
42:51His jaw tightened.
42:54But his hands, when he reached for me, were gentle.
42:59I'll be gentle.
43:01Permanent mark complete.
43:03Bite.
43:04Knot.
43:05Pheromone fusion.
43:07All three.
43:08Irreversible once done.
43:11Something shifted in my body at that moment.
43:14My limbs went heavy.
43:19My vision whited out.
43:21I was floating in a void where only Felix existed.
43:26For the rest of my life, I could only have him.
43:35The air between us was ice.
43:39The next morning, I woke up and touched the bite mark on my nape.
43:43The ache between my legs hadn't faded.
43:47Permanent marks are irreversible.
43:51I looked at Felix sleeping beside me and my brain went white.
44:02You marked me during my heat?
44:05I shoved him awake.
44:06Felix opened his eyes.
44:08Crimson still rimming his pupils met my gray blue.
44:11He didn't look away.
44:15Permanent marks are irreversible.
44:17I demanded Felix break the mark.
44:22Permanent marks are irreversible.
44:24He repeated it with a calm voice but red-rimmed eyes.
44:28A standoff.
44:29My pheromones soured again.
44:31Bitter black coffee filling the room.
44:34Felix smelled it and his fists clenched until his knuckles went white.
44:38He didn't say a word.
44:40Turned and walked out.
44:43For days we barely spoke.
44:45He stayed in the guest room.
44:47I stayed in the master bedroom.
44:49And Lily was the only bridge between us.
44:51Only when handing her over did we have to be near each other.
44:59Then Marcus Holley entered the picture.
45:02And everything I'd carefully built came crashing down around me.
45:06No more pretending.
45:08The Holley family were Blackthorn business partners.
45:12Richard had once considered a marriage alliance between Felix and a Holley.
45:17Omega, Marcus wanted Felix's alpha power and the Blackthorn resources.
45:22After Felix publicly announced he was pursuing me, Marcus started circling the Hartwells.
45:29I don't know how he figured it out.
45:32Maybe the blended pheromones from the naming ceremony.
45:35Maybe the permanent mark bite on my nape that I couldn't hide anymore.
45:38Whatever it was, at a social event, I watched Marcus lean in close to Arthur.
45:44His lips barely moved.
45:47Two words.
45:48Just loud enough for two.
45:49Mr. Arthur.
45:54Your grandson's pheromones carry a Blackthorn alpha's mark.
46:01Arthur's hand tightened around his cane.
46:04The knuckles went white.
46:05His face didn't show shock.
46:07It showed the fury of having a wound ripped open by a stranger.
46:12He'd always known I was an Omega.
46:14Since I was five and the designation test came back.
46:17He'd protected that secret for 21 years.
46:20But now an outsider knew.
46:22A Blackthorn marked Omega meant the Hartwell name was ruined.
46:27When Arthur returned to the estate, his pheromones hit like a storm.
46:32Old leather and cold iron so dense the bodyguards backed up three steps.
46:36The front door shook under the pressure.
46:40He marched straight into my room and grabbed the back of my collar.
46:48He ripped the patch off my nape with his own hands.
46:51The adhesive tore at my skin.
46:54He swept every suppressant bottle and alpha spray off my dresser into a bag.
47:00He wasn't discovering the truth.
47:02He was punishing me.
47:05He stood in the center of the living room.
47:09His cane struck the floor once.
47:14Arthur's voice changed.
47:15A tone I'd never heard before.
47:18It wasn't his voice anymore.
47:21It was an alpha's command frequency, boring through my eardrum straight into my spine.
47:26My knees buckled.
47:28I grabbed the stair railing to stay upright.
47:30My lungs wanted to inhale on his rhythm.
47:33My body screamed submit.
47:36I bit my lip until I tasted blood.
47:39The rust flavor pain anchored me.
47:41I stayed standing.
47:43Word by word.
47:46You were marked by a blackthorn alpha.
47:50Not a question.
47:53I kept your secret for 21 years.
47:58You couldn't hold it from hold it for one month.
48:06Either cut ties with the blackthorns and remain the hardwool alpha hair.
48:11I'll pretend today never happened.
48:18Or his cane cracked against the floor.
48:27I'll find you another suitable alpha.
48:31File a compulsorily matching order.
48:34Your shares, your inheritance,
48:38your CEO position,
48:41all transferred to him.
48:44That's my legal right.
48:47Lose everything the heart words gave you.
48:56I was locked in my room with no suppressants and no spray.
49:02My omega pheromones poured out unchecked.
49:05I curled on the bed with my arms around myself.
49:08Salted caramel and black tea filled every corner.
49:11Midnight.
49:11I heard sounds outside.
49:15The whole house shook with alpha pheromone pressure at full force.
49:23Cedar, cigar, rain-soaked earth hit the Hartwell front door like a wall.
49:28Every bodyguard dropped to their knees in the hallway.
49:33Felix stood outside the Hartwell estate all night.
49:41The next morning, Arthur opened the door himself.
49:47Two alphas facing off.
49:49Richard stood behind Felix, silent and watching.
49:54Felix walked through Arthur's pheromone blockade.
49:58Step by step up the stairs.
50:00He was carrying the box Arthur had taken from my room.
50:04Suppressants.
50:05Spray.
50:06Patches.
50:07He'd grabbed them when he broke in.
50:09He stopped in front of me and set the box at my feet.
50:13Then he dropped to one knee.
50:15Not to Arthur.
50:16To me.
50:19I offer you my nape.
50:23Mark me.
50:25Reject me.
50:26Drive me away.
50:29Your choice.
50:35But from five years old until now,
50:38I have chosen you every single day.
50:41Whether I thought you were an alpha or knew you were an omega,
50:45crimson pupils fixed on the floor,
50:48nape exposed to my gaze,
50:49gland pulsing,
50:51cedar and cigar trembling.
50:52This is the highest submission an alpha can offer.
50:56I looked at Felix kneeling in front of me.
50:58He waited on his knees on cold marble with his nape bare.
51:02He was afraid.
51:03I reached out.
51:05I didn't mark his nape.
51:07I covered his face.
51:09I don't need your submission.
51:11I need you to stand beside me.
51:14Then I turned to face Arthur.
51:20I picked up the alpha spray bottle from the box Felix had brought.
51:24I gripped it and crushed it.
51:26I gripped it.
51:27Plastic shards and synthetic pheromones rained from my fingers as cedar and cold iron dissipated.
51:33That wasn't me and never was.
51:35Omega pheromones.
51:36Fully released.
51:38Twenty years of hiding.
51:40Gone in one breath.
51:42Salted caramel.
51:43Black tea.
51:44And Felix's cedar from the permanent mark residue.
51:48Three cents braided together.
51:49Mine and his.
51:51No more pretending.
51:53I am an omega.
51:56My voice echoed in the silent corridor.
51:59The heart welled air.
52:00I knew that title would face legal challenge.
52:02But I said it.
52:03Lily's father.
52:05Felix's omega.
52:07You can strip my inheritance.
52:10But you can't strip who I am.
52:13Arthur stayed silent for a long time.
52:16His cane grip turned his knuckles white.
52:19Not from anger trembling but from faith collapsing trembling.
52:23Twenty-one years of secrecy crumbling in front of his eyes.
52:28Finally, he turned and walked inside, closed the door, but he didn't call the guards.
52:37The next morning, Arthur came to my room himself.
52:41He stood at the door holding a box of my alpha compliance reports.
52:45Every quarterly report I'd submitted for twenty years.
52:51When you were five, his voice shook.
52:55I took you for designation testing.
52:58The result came back omega.
53:00I made the call.
53:04You would pretend to be an alpha from that day on.
53:08My first thought was, how do I explain this to the heart, Wills?
53:14He closed his eyes.
53:17Not what about my grandson.
53:21It was what about the heart-filled name.
53:24His cane tapped the door frame.
53:26Not an angry tap, but a tired one.
53:30I was wrong, Zane.
53:32I opened my mouth.
53:34Twenty-six years.
53:35How long had I waited for those words?
53:38Grandpapa.
53:39My voice was barely there.
53:42Arthur lifted his head with red eyes.
53:45That alpha of yours.
53:48He knelt in front of you and offered his nace.
53:51His voice was rough.
53:53No heart-filled alpha has ever done that.
53:56I won't forgive the Blackthor, old man.
53:59But the one you chose, I accept.
54:07Felix moved into the Hartwell estate.
54:10Guest room.
54:12A hallway between us.
54:14He didn't push.
54:16Hot cocoa at my door every morning.
54:18Alpha pheromone seeping under my door every night.
54:21He waited for my permission.
54:23Two months passed.
54:25One night, Lily wouldn't stop crying.
54:27She kept turning her head toward the door, reaching for her alpha father outside.
54:32I opened the door.
54:34Felix sat on the hallway floor with his back against the wall and an unturned book on his knee.
54:39Should we answer you?
54:41Felix came in and scooped up Lily.
54:44She stopped crying instantly.
54:46Tiny fist gripping his lapel, nestled in his arms with a satisfied hum.
54:53He looked up with a soft voice.
54:56Do you still need me in the guest room?
54:59I walked over and knelt down.
55:02Felix.
55:03He looked at me with amber eyes.
55:05No crimson.
55:06No pressure.
55:08Just patient.
55:10You said, you from five until now, you've chosen me every single day.
55:21Yes.
55:23Same here.
55:24I reached out and pressed my palm against his nape.
55:28Not a bite.
55:29Not a mark.
55:30Just my hand flat against his pulsing gland.
55:35Cedar and cigar.
55:36And salted caramel.
55:37My residue inside him.
55:40I won't run again.
55:42Felix's eyes went red.
55:45He dropped his head and pressed his forehead to my shoulder.
55:49I waited 20 years.
55:51His voice muffled against my shoulder.
55:54My eyes burned.
55:55I pressed my forehead against his hair and breathed in cedar tangled with my own salted caramel.
56:02Not anymore.
56:05I know.
56:06I spent 20 years pretending to be an alpha.
56:09He spent 20 years pretending he didn't love me.
56:12We were both prisoners of our own secrets.
56:14The wedding was three months later.
56:16At the ceremony, Felix pressed a kiss to the permanent mark on my nape.
56:22Not a new mark.
56:23Just a kiss.
56:24His lips were warm against the scar he'd left.
56:27Then I lowered my head.
56:28And bit his nape.
56:30An omega marking an alpha.
56:32Almost no precedent.
56:34I didn't care.
56:35Not submission but equality.
56:37I chose this and I chose him.
56:41My canines pierced his gland and salted caramel flooded into his body.
56:45Mingling with cedar and cigar.
56:48His breath hitched and his arms locked around me like I might vanish.
56:53Felix Blackthorne.
56:56I love you since I was five.
57:05I know.
57:08Lily giggled in Richard's arms.
57:10Tiny hands reaching for both her fathers.
57:14Arthur stood in the crowd.
57:16Old leather pheromones no longer pressing.
57:18He watched me in silence.
57:20In those cloudy eyes.
57:22A light I'd never seen before.
57:25Not pride.
57:26Relief.
