Summary
Helix University still believed hierarchy was destiny. Till believed hierarchy was a suggestion, one he enjoyed ignoring.
He spoke to Ivan the way one spoke to a stubborn concept: directly, without reverence, and with visible irritation.
“Move,” Till said, not looking up from his notes.
Ivan moved. Then stayed.It became a pattern. Till challenged; Ivan lingered. The alpha—rich, cold, universally disliked—seemed to discover an unexpected pleasure in being dismissed. He followed Till through libraries and corridors, attentive as a well-trained animal.
“You know I’m not impressed,” Till told him once.
“I know,” Ivan replied, eyes bright with something dangerously close to delight.Till loved someone else. He loved Mizi, brilliant, sharp-tongued, another omega who laughed like survival itself. Mizi, unfortunately, loved Sua: an alpha, composed, untouchable. Worse, Sua was Ivan’s sister.
“You’re wasting your time,” Till warned Ivan.
Ivan only smiled. “I don’t mind.”The system tangled them together anyway, omegas who refused softness, alphas who refused dominance, affection moving in the wrong directions. What grew between them wasn’t romance, not at first, but gravity.
