The after-party was crowded, filled with idols mingling, cameras flashing, and whispers threading through the air. Felix, overwhelmed but smiling, tried his best to greet everyone who approached him.
He didn’t notice the way the seven alphas trailed behind him, subtly intercepting conversations, their presence heavy enough to send lesser alphas retreating.
Felix thought they were just being friendly.
The others knew better.

“Felix-ah.”
Felix turned\, startled when **Lee Know** leaned close\, plucking a drink from his hand.
“This isn’t good for you.” His tone was soft, but his eyes glinted dangerously at the staff member who had offered the drink. The man quickly excused himself, intimidated.
Felix blinked. “It’s just juice…”
Lee Know smiled faintly, though it didn’t quite reach his eyes. “Still. You shouldn’t accept things from strangers.”
Before Felix could reply\, **Han** looped an arm around him from the other side. “Hyung’s right. People will try to take advantage of you. You’re too trusting\, Lixie.”
“Lixie?” Felix repeated, cheeks warming.
Han grinned. “It suits you. Cute, just like you.”
Felix’s ears turned red at the casual affection\, but before he could react further\, he felt the weight of **Seungmin’s gaze**. Calm\, sharp\, and assessing.
“You need to be more careful.” Seungmin’s voice was quieter, but there was an authority in it that made Felix’s chest flutter with unease — and safety. “You don’t realize how many eyes are on you.”
Felix looked between them, his innocent heart not fully understanding. “But… isn’t that a good thing? As an artist?”
“Not when those eyes want more than your music.” **Hyunjin** had stepped closer now\, his tall frame towering protectively. His hand brushed against Felix’s wrist — not quite a hold\, but enough to remind him he wasn’t alone.
The others exchanged glances. They all felt it — the pull, the instinct to shield, to claim.

Later, when the party ended, Felix slipped outside for some air. The night was cool, the city lights glittering below. He closed his eyes, letting the breeze calm him.
But the moment he opened them, he wasn’t alone.
**Bang Chan** stood a few feet away\, watching him with a look Felix couldn’t quite read. Something deep. Something dangerous.
“Hyung?” Felix asked softly.
Chan’s lips curved, gentle but firm. “Don’t wander off alone. It’s not safe.”
Felix gave a small laugh, trying to ease the tension. “You’re all worrying too much. I’m fine, really.”
Chan’s jaw clenched. He stepped closer, his alpha presence rolling off him in waves that made Felix instinctively shiver.
“You don’t understand, Felix.” Chan’s voice dropped, rough with something unspoken. “You’re… special. The kind of omega people dream of controlling, possessing. They’ll come for you — and you won’t even see it happening.”
Felix’s lips parted. His heart raced, not out of fear, but something warmer. Something confusing.
Chan’s hand rose, hesitated, then brushed a strand of hair from Felix’s cheek. His touch lingered. “But we won’t let that happen. Ever.”
And though Felix didn’t fully grasp the weight of those words, he smiled softly, his eyes shining with innocent trust.
“I know.”
What he didn’t see was the look in Chan’s eyes — the look of an alpha who wasn’t just protective\, but **possessive**.
Behind them, shadows stirred. The rest of Stray Kids had followed, each of their gazes locked on Felix. A silent understanding passed between them:
He’s ours.
