Omega Hunted
I kept my head low, pulling the dark hood of my cloak deep over my face as I navigated through the thick crowds.
For years, my Alpha scent had been a shield that kept people at a respectful distance. Now, stripped of that power, I felt completely exposed.
As I hurried down a narrow market street, a rough-looking Alpha carrier brushed past my shoulder. The sudden proximity sent a jolt of terror straight through my chest. My new Omega instincts flared, screaming at me to shrink back and hide. The man paused, his nose twitching slightly as he caught a stray whiff of my sweet scent, but I ducked into a dark alleyway before he could turn around. Every step felt like walking on thin ice.
