As I walked by the pool at night, taking in the serene environment, I couldn't help but feel a bit lost in this new environment. This academy was supposed to be my new home for the next few years, but I was already feeling out of place. I walked by the pool, admiring the shimmering water in the moonlight. Suddenly, I sensed someone's presence and turned around to see a figure approaching me.

It was him - Zane, the last alpha triplet. He stood tall and imposing, with broad shoulders and a muscular build that exuded strength and power.

His ruggedly handsome appearance caught my breath, and I couldn't help but stare at him. His chiseled jawline was dusted with a five o'clock shadow, and his piercing hazel eyes seemed to look straight through me. My heart raced as I noticed his jet black hair styled to perfection, adding to his overall striking appearance. As he approached me, I felt my knees weaken, and I was immediately drawn to him.

But then, as I stepped backwards to get a better look at him, my foot slipped on the wet tiles, and I felt myself falling.

My heart was pounding in my chest as I struggled to catch my breath, my clothes and hair clinging to my skin. I felt so embarrassed for falling into the water in front of such an impressive alpha like Zane.

At that moment, I felt strong and steady arms wrap around me, pulling me back to the surface. Being so close to him, I caught a whiff of his musky scent, which made my heart race with desire. My heart was also filled with gratitude that he had saved me on time.

He looked down at me with concern in his eyes, and for a moment, time stood still. I couldn't deny the way his touch made me feel.

"Are you alright?" Zane's deep voice broke through the silence, sending shivers down my spine. His voice was like a rumble, commanding attention without even trying.

"I'm okay, thank you," I managed to stutter, feeling my face flush with embarrassment.

"You are welcome. You should be more careful next time and avoid areas like the pool if you can't swim. You could have drowned if nobody was here to save you." He scolded me.

He wasn't wrong because I couldn't even imagine the reason for my death was the fact that I was dumbfounded by one of the goddess's perfect creations.

"Were you lost?" he asked, his piercing gaze locking onto mine.

"Uh, not at all. I was just exploring." I revealed in a low tone.

"Exploring? Wait, you must be new here in that case." He was also smart enough to catch on quickly.

I nodded my head in response, "Yes, I am. I just got here today."

"You are supposed to have a tour guide," he asserted. "It seemed like mine had no interest in showing me around." I responded.

He rolled his eyes and sighed, "Typical of Asher to do so:. What's your name by the way? I'm Alpha Zane."

"Hazel," I replied, feeling shy under his intense gaze.

Zane's eyes widened in surprise, "Hazel? As in, the omega assigned to serve us?" he asked.

I nodded, feeling embarrassed. I had hoped that Zane wouldn't know who I was. "Yes, that's me," I said softly.

Zane's expression softened as he looked at her. "I had no idea," he said, sounding apologetic.

"I hope my brothers haven't been too difficult for you."

"They've been fine," I reassured him, feeling a little more at ease now that we were talking. "It's just been a lot to adjust to."

Zane nodded, his expression serious. "I understand. It can be overwhelming at first, but I'm here to protect you. You're under my care now."

His words made me feel both safe and a little intimidated. As we walked towards the dorms, I couldn't help but notice the way Zane kept his arm protectively around my waist, possessive in a way that sent a thrill down my spine.

As we entered the dorm, Zane's brother Tyler greeted us with a smirk on his face. "Didn't expect that you would meet her so quickly. I wanted to be the one doing the introduction."

"Wait bro, looks like you got her all wet," he joked, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.

Zane shot his brother a warning look before turning back to me with a smile.

My face turned bright red, and I looked down at the ground, feeling embarrassed and uncomfortable.

"Tyler, stop it," he said firmly.

Tyler just chuckled and wandered off to his bed, leaving me standing alone with Zane. He turned back to me, looking apologetic. "I'm sorry about him. He can be a bit immature sometimes," he said, his voice deep and soothing.

I just nodded, not trusting my voice at the moment. I knew that working as an omega would mean putting up with jokes like Tyler's, but it still made me feel uneasy. Zane must have sensed my discomfort because he reached out and gently placed his hand on my shoulder.

"Ignore him, Hazel. Tyler can be a bit of a troublemaker," he said, his voice sending shivers down my spine.

"Why don't we get you all dried up?" He tried to change the topic.

Zane led me to the living area, where he handed me a towel to dry myself off.

"Here you go," he said, his voice deep and husky.

I couldn't help but notice the way he was staring at me, and I felt myself blushing under his gaze. "Thank you," I said softly, avoiding his eyes.

Zane seemed to sense my discomfort, and he quickly changed the subject. "Do you want to take a hot shower to warm up?" he asked, gesturing towards the bathroom.

I nodded, grateful for the suggestion. Zane handed me a clean t-shirt and shorts to change into and showed me where the towels were kept. As I headed towards the bathroom, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed that he didn't say anything about my appearance, even though I could tell he was admiring me.

After a few minutes, I emerged from the bathroom, feeling much better. Zane was sitting on the couch, scrolling through his phone. He looked up as I entered the room, and I could feel his eyes on me once again.

"You look better," he said, a hint of a smile playing at the corners of his lips.

I felt a rush of warmth at his words, and I couldn't help but smile back. "Thanks to you," I said, feeling a little shy.

Zane just nodded, his eyes never leaving mine. I could feel the intensity of his gaze, and it made me feel a little lightheaded.

We sat in silence for a few moments, and I couldn't help but feel a little nervous. I found myself inching closer to him, drawn to his warmth and the tantalizing scent that surrounded him.

Our legs brushed against each other, and I could feel the heat radiating from his body. I couldn't help but let out a small gasp as his fingers brushed against my thigh, sending electric shocks through my body. Zane just looked at me with a knowing grin, his gaze smoldering with unspoken desire.

"I'm sorry about Tyler's behavior earlier," he said, his voice sincere.

I shook my head, trying to brush it off. "It's fine. I know that being an omega means I'll have to put up with stuff like that," I said, trying to sound confident.

Zane just smiled, and I felt a flutter in my chest at the sight of it. "You're more than just an omega to us, Hazel," he said, his voice low and filled with meaning.

I felt my heart skip a beat at his words, and I couldn't help but wonder what he meant by them. Before I could ask, Zane's phone rang, interrupting the moment.

He sighed, looking down at his phone. "I have to take this. Duty calls," he said, standing up.

I nodded, feeling a little disappointed that our conversation was cut short. "Of course. Duty first," I said, trying to sound understanding.

Zane gave me one last look before heading out of the room, and I could feel the intensity of his gaze linger on me even after he was gone.

It was then that I realized that I was hopelessly drawn to Zane, and I couldn't resist the temptation of his magnetic pull. Maybe, it was the fact that he was so different from the others.
