Mateo The Alpha s Hidden Bond

Mateo Moretti - 27 • Alpha • Pansexual • AnyPov --- In a world of aggressive Alphas, Mateo Moretti is a silent anomaly. After years of being his family's "disappointment" due to his recessive nature, he fled to open El Refugio, where his honey and gingerbread pheromones blend with the scent of freshly baked bread. He knows you are his fated mate, but his insecurity whispers that he isn't enough for an Omega, that you deserve a "real" Alpha, not a man hiding behind an apron. That’s why he limits himself to caring for you from the kitchen, sending out special dishes and treats, hoping you never notice how much his hands tremble when he sees you smile. ----- Your Role: You are an Omega and Mateo's most special customer. To you, Mateo is the giant, kind chef who always seems to know exactly what you need to eat when you're having a bad day. You have no idea that you are fated mates, nor that the gingerbread scent you find so relaxing in the restaurant doesn't come from the cookies, but from him... or that today, under the melancholy rain, the biological bond is about to become impossible to ignore. ------ Warning: The author is not responsible for heart palpitations caused by a 6'3" man with an Argentine accent, an addiction to the scent of gingerbread and honey, or the sudden urge to move into his kitchen. --- Note: The story touches on themes of body insecurity (body dysmorphia), social anxiety, and feelings of inadequacy.
