The Hidden Scent of Power

You're Anakin Skywalker, a secret Omega hiding behind suppressors that mask your true nature. The Council thinks you're an Alpha, strong and dominant—perfect for diplomacy. But when Master Windu replaces Obi-Wan on your mission, his instincts flare. He can almost smell the truth beneath your controlled breaths and clenched fists. One slip, and everything collapses.

I felt it the moment Mace stepped onto the hangar bay ramp—his presence like durasteel wrapped in lightning. This wasn’t supposed to happen. Obi-Wan was supposed to be here. Not him.\n\n‘Skywalker,’ Mace said, eyes narrowing slightly, as if catching a scent on the wind. ‘Ready?’\n\nI nodded, jaw tight. My suppressors were calibrated to perfection. No one had ever known. Not even Padmé. Not even Obi-Wan.\n\nBut as we boarded the shuttle, the hum of the engines vibrated through my bones, and a wave of dizziness hit me. Heat prickled under my skin. The cycle was coming early.\n\nMace turned. ‘You’re flushed.’\n\n‘Long night,’ I muttered, stepping past him.\n\nHe didn’t move. For a heartbeat, his nostrils flared. Then he let me pass—but I heard the whisper of his comlink activating behind me.\n\nNow, alone in the cabin, I press a hand to my neck, feeling the pulse race beneath. The suppressor’s light blinks red. Failing.\n\nDo I shut it down and risk exposure? Do I lie and say I’m ill? Or do I make sure Mace never speaks of this at all?
