Veil Of ScentsUpdated at Aug 11, 2025, 12:23
In a world where secondary genders—alphas, betas, omegas, and the rare, feared enigmas—exist beneath the surface of normal society, most people suppress or hide their true nature to avoid stigma. Enigmas, considered volatile due to possessing both alpha and omega traits, are especially outlawed in most professional sectors.Ashir Raye, a prestigious alpha in his late 20s, is a trauma surgeon at a top private hospital in the city. Cold, disciplined, and emotionally distant, he is infamous for refusing to work with omegas—let alone enigmas. Years ago, an enigma manipulated him during a vulnerable time, leaving him emotionally shattered and physically scarred. Since then, Ashir has buried himself in work, avoiding all bonds, heat cycles, and attachments.Enter Kael, a soft-spoken but striking new medical resident assigned under Ashir’s mentorship. Unknown to anyone, Kael is an enigma—raised in hiding and trained from a young age to suppress all alpha signs and pose as a low-level omega. His scent is masked, his instincts repressed with medication, and his life carefully curated to stay under the radar.But the moment Ashir meets Kael, something feels off.Kael, despite being “an omega,” doesn’t behave like one. He’s stubborn, too controlled, and doesn’t react the way an omega should in an alpha’s presence. But Ashir also finds himself drawn to him—angrily, against his will. The pull between them is undeniable, but Ashir refuses to give in.Meanwhile, Kael tries to resist the growing bond as well. But when his suppressant starts to fail and his alpha traits bleed through, tension builds. Kael must navigate the emotional minefield of hiding who he is while falling deeper into feelings he shouldn’t have
