The Forgotten Fourth

Long before the world recognized only Alphas, Betas, and Omegas, there was another designation.

One so powerful that history buried its name.

Enigma.

Ancient records described them as beings who existed beyond instinct. They could not be categorized, controlled, or bound by the natural hierarchy. Their presence unsettled Alphas, soothed Omegas, and challenged the balance that governed society.

Because they could not be controlled...

They were feared.

Kings declared them dangerous.

Packs called them cursed.

One by one, the Enigmas disappeared from history.

Books were burned.

Bloodlines were erased.

Their name became nothing more than a myth whispered to children before bedtime.

Centuries passed.

The world forgot.

Or perhaps...

It chose to forget.
On a stormy night twenty-two years ago, hidden deep within the mountains, a child was born beneath an eclipse.

The room was silent except for the sound of rain against the roof.

An elderly woman cradled the newborn in trembling arms.

When she looked into his eyes, her face turned pale.

"They're silver..."

Silver eyes.

The mark that had not been seen in generations.

She tightened her hold on the child.

"You must never tell anyone what you are."

Outside, thunder shook the sky.

Men dressed in black searched the mountain village, carrying orders to eliminate anyone connected to the forgotten bloodline.

By dawn...

The village was gone.

Only the child survived.

His name was Sky Wongravee Nateetorn.
Years later, hundreds of kilometers away, another child was born into a family that ruled through strength.

The Changkam family.

Every generation produced exceptional Alphas, but none had shown as much promise as their youngest heir.

From the moment he opened his eyes, elders declared him destined to lead.

He grew into an Alpha who feared nothing.

He bowed to no one.

He believed power was earned, not inherited.

His name was Nani Hirunkit Changkam.

Their lives were never meant to cross.

One lived hidden in plain sight.

The other stood beneath the brightest spotlight.

One carried the weight of a forgotten bloodline.

The other carried the expectations of an empire.

Yet fate has a way of ignoring the impossible.
At Blackwood International University, where the nation's future leaders gathered, a simple accident awaited them.

A crowded cafeteria.

A single misplaced step.

A tray of food slipping through the air.

Rice scattering across the floor.

Silence.

Two pairs of eyes meeting for the first time.

Neither of them knew that this ordinary collision would awaken an ancient prophecy... and set into motion a chain of events that could change the fate of every Alpha, Beta, Omega, and the last Enigma forever.

Sometimes...

Destiny doesn't begin with a battle.

Sometimes...

It begins with spilled lunch.
