    Summary

    Matthew has no scent, no designation, and no place in the world.
    When he collapses on a rain-soaked street, it’s a pregnant omega who stops, refuses to leave him alone, and changes the course of his life. Taken in—first by Hanbin and Zhang Hao, then by Taerae and the warmth of a small bakery—Matthew experiences something he’s never had before: safety, routine, and the fragile hope that he might finally belong somewhere.
    But something is wrong.
    Matthew begins to crave a scent that shouldn’t exist—mint, chocolate, and pepper—an intoxicating presence that haunts his dreams, soothes his pain, and slowly takes hold of his body and mind. The more he loses it, the more he unravels. His need grows desperate. Physical. Unbearable.
    And when the truth finally stands before him, overwhelming and undeniable, everything he thought he knew about himself shatters in an instant.
    Because Matthew was never nothing.
    In a world ruled by scent, instinct, and hierarchy, some bonds don’t follow the rules—and some awakenings come at a devastating cost
