Welcome to my chaotic little story! I'm not a professional writer or some storytelling genius. I'm just here, armed with too much imagination, questionable plot choices, and zero regrets.😌✨

So grab a snack, get comfy, and enjoy the ride.❤️
The after-party was loud, crowded, and full of people Zen barely knew.
Music blasted from the speakers, guests laughed and drank, and alphas and omegas mingled in every corner.
Zen Sutton (DA)
Man, this is suffocating.
Zen muttered, weaving through the crowd with a polite smile.
He’d been stuck making small talk for half an hour and needed a break.
He finally slipped out into the open corridor. The noise dulled instantly.
He breathed out, loosening his tie.
Zen leaned against the wall, pulling out his phone, when something at the edge of the crowd caught his eye.
An omega stood alone a little further away, glancing around like he was searching for someone.
Leonel Quinn (DO)
(looking around)
He whispered under his breath.
The omega was striking. Not flashy, not attention-seeking—just… beautiful.
His sharp yet soft features stood out, and there was this quiet presence about him that made Zen forget how to breathe for a second.
Without thinking, Zen lifted his phone and snapped a quick picture.
Zen Sutton (DA)
Okay, calm down, Zen.
He muttered, staring at the blurry photo.
Zen Sutton (DA)
You’re acting like a creep.
But when he looked up again, the omega was gone.
Zen straightened, scanning the crowd.
Zen Sutton (DA)
Where did he go?!
Zen ran a hand through his hair.
Zen Sutton (DA)
Great. One second I see the most beautiful omega of my life, the next—poof. Gone.
A familiar voice called from behind.
Navin Avery (A)
Zen! What are you doing out here?
Zen turned to see Navin jogging toward him, looking concerned.
Navin Avery (A)
We’ve been looking for you. Everyone’s gathering for the group toast inside.
Zen Sutton (DA)
Forget the toast, Nav. I just saw… him.
Navin Avery (A)
(blink) Who?
Zen Sutton (DA)
The omega. Gorgeous. Perfect.
Zen Sutton (DA)
I think I just found my mate.
Navin gave him a flat look.
Navin Avery (A)
Zen, you fall in love every two weeks.
Zen Sutton (DA)
This is different.
Zen Sutton (DA)
I’m telling you, this is it.
Navin Avery (A)
(sigh) Okay, love guru. But we have to go inside before people start asking questions.
Zen shoved his phone into his pocket and followed him back into the after-party, but his mind was already spinning.
Whoever that omega was, Zen wasn’t going to let him slip away again.
