Premise
Packs are normal in modern Omegaverse society. Mixed dynamics — alphas, betas, omegas — are common and socially accepted.
What isn’t normal is a pack made entirely of alphas.
Five of them.
That alone is rare to the point of being almost unheard of.
Five alphas choosing to function as a single pack — without omegas, without hierarchy collapse — is already an anomaly.
Adding a beta to that pack makes it borderline unthinkable.
Jackson is that beta.
He’s unscented, unmarked, and painfully aware of how out of place he is. Lean, tan (Mexican), dark curly hair, average height. He works with vulnerable populations, preferring quiet usefulness over attention. He lacks confidence, avoids notice, and assumes he is fundamentally unremarkable.
Like all betas, Jackson doesn’t emit pheromones and can barely perceive them. Bonding instincts, scent cues, and marking politics have always existed around him, never for him. Beta bonds are temporary, renewable, never permanent.
So when a five-alpha pack fixates on him, Jackson doesn’t interpret it as desire.
He interprets it as coincidence.
Stress.
Misreading social cues.
Because the idea that this pack would want him feels socially impossible.
The alphas don’t care.
They are powerful, wealthy, untouchable — the kind of alphas who exist above social consequence. Their pack is unusual, their interest in Jackson even more so, and they are fully aware of both.
Jackson is the only one who worries about how it looks.
The only one who understands how strange it is.
The only one who thinks he should be exempt from this kind of attention.
As the story progresses, Jackson’s relationship to scent and pheromones begins to change, destabilizing his understanding of himself — and giving the pack justification to claim him not individually, but together.
There is no choosing between them.
There is only the pack deciding he belongs.

Chapter 1: The Scent of a Beta
The alarm chirped at 6:15 AM, a sound so familiar Jackson could trace its digital rhythm in his sleep. He slapped it off, the silence of his modest studio apartment rushing back in. Sunlight, thin and pale, strained through the blinds, painting stripes across his plain duvet.
His morning routine was a study in quiet efficiency: shower, dress in soft, neutral-toned clothes, black coffee in a chipped mug. He was a creature of gentle habit, a man who found comfort in the predictable.
The community center where he worked hummed with a different, warmer energy. He spent his morning sorting donation bins, his hands moving gently over folded shirts and canned goods. Mrs. Alvarez from third floor stopped by his desk, her eyes worried. “The forms for the heating assistance, Jackson,” she fretted, her hands fluttering. “I don’t understand the questions.”
“It’s okay,” he said, his voice always softer than he intended. “We’ll do it together.” He pulled a chair over for her, explaining each line with patient clarity, feeling the tight knot of her anxiety slowly loosen. This, he understood. This need, this tangible help, was a language he spoke fluently.
He ate lunch alone at the small park nearby, watching pigeons argue over a crust of bread. He was, he knew, fundamentally unremarkable. A beta. It wasn’t a sadness, just a fact, like his eye color or his height. It meant he moved through the world without causing ripples, without feeling the primal undercurrents others seemed to navigate. He couldn’t produce pheromones, and to him, the world smelled mostly of rain, concrete, and the faint lavender detergent on his clothes.
Walking home that evening, the city was a cascade of overlapping scents—exhaust, greasy food, perfume from a passing group of laughing women. For a second, just a second, something else cut through. Something dark and dense, like ozone after a lightning strike. It was gone before he could place it, leaving a strange hollow feeling in his sternum. He shook his head, tightening his grip on his backpack strap. Stress, he thought. Or that dodgy falafel from lunch.
He keyed into his apartment, the familiar silence welcoming him back. He made a simple dinner, scrolled through his phone, and later, lying in bed listening to the distant sirens, he felt a calm certainty. His life was simple. It was predictable. It was his.
