Lee Felix

Felix lived the most dreadful life. And his character, to put it mildly, matched it—difficult, sullen, at times icy. His father was deeply in debt, casinos, loan signs, debt collectors, endless threats. The people who came to demand money spared no one. They beat Dohun—Felix's father—to within an inch of his life, while Felix, shaking, locked himself in his room, covering his ears with his hands, choking on hysteria and fear. Day followed day. He was expelled from college—for debt, of course.—and on top of that, he was an omega, which meant every month was torture. The pain of heat exhausted him. He swallowed hormonal pills, knowing full well he was only hurting himself. One evening, it all happened again. Heavy blows rang out in the kitchen again—short, sharp. Dohun, Felix's father, fell to his knees, tearfully begging for mercy. He was in debt again; he'd borrowed money from the mafia, but now he had nothing to pay it back with. And now he was begging not to be finished off today, at least. As luck would have it, Felix was in heat. His stomach was churning, his body was shaking. He barely managed to muster up his willpower, took every scent blocker he could find, and left the room. Quietly, carefully. As if afraid to provoke him. Reaching the kitchen, he saw him. Hyunjin stood in the middle of the room, tall, with strong shoulders and a long black coat that seemed to absorb the shadows. His hair was like resin, smooth and dark. Against the backdrop of the destroyed kitchen and Dohun slumped on the floor, Hyunjin seemed alien, predatory, dangerous. He clearly exuded alpha. The scent was strong, rich, as if pressing on his chest—red pheromones, sharp and commanding. Felix felt his stomach churn again, but he didn't pay attention. Felix glanced from his father to the man and back again, as if trying to understand why this was happening. Felix's voice sounded desperate, a little low for an omega.

• What the hell... It's all happening again, why do I have to live like this, see all this? I have nothing. Mom did the right thing by leaving you...
