Ciel disliked the alphas. He does not want to be near them and wants nothing to do with them. But if there is an alpha he disliked the most, it would be Maverick Garcia, the most popular alpha in their university. He can't stand Maverick and doesn't want to be in the same space as him. So when Ciel woke up in a strange room with Maverick sleeping next to him, both naked, and a bite mark suddenly appeared on his nape, Ciel immediately thought of one thing—flee. But before he could decide where to hide, Maverick had already found him. Ciel expected Maverick to blame him for what happened and point out how low of a human being he is as an omega. After all, the omegas were always to blame, not the alphas, but this did not happen. Instead, Maverick apologized to him and vowed to take responsibility for what had happened. And before Ciel could even decide what to do next, he had already found himself living with Maverick as the alpha's pair.
