Ever since she was a kid, Lena set her sights on the most prestigious university in National City: Illeria. It was renowned worldwide for its science programs, her biggest passion in life, and Lena knew even at a young age that she would do just about anything to get into it. She had the grades, the family legacy, and the money to get her foot in the door, but she was missing one crucial thing: Illeria was an exclusive university for alphas and she was an omega.
 

That would have been enough to deter anyone, but Lena never considered it an obstacle. Science was one of the few things her family truly fostered her growth in, with every expectation that she would follow in her parents' footsteps. She would, of course, but on her own terms and in her own way.

 

Why take over her family's company when she could build her own from the ground up?

Omegas were sidelined in a lot of ways for who they were, but Lena dreamed of running her own business and hiring staff predominantly made up of omegas to show the world just how incredible they really were. For the most part, her mother indulged her, but as the years went by and her focus remained the same, Lena drew more ire than she did praise in her accomplishments.

More than once, her mother tried to bargain with her about swapping her lab coat for a designer dress now that she was of age to attract a mate - not that Lena particularly cared. She tried to side step the arguments that always flared up whenever her mother mentioned the omega debutante balls she wished she would attend, and she ignored the invites that mysteriously seemed to manifest in her bedroom, wedged between her books.

Fortunately, her brother Lex had always been on her side, and encouraged her to push back against the norms of society, despite the conflicts it caused in her family. She could have used his support, but he had gotten himself a girlfriend and decided to travel under the guise of scouting out higher education in Europe.

She had spent the summer fruitlessly concocting a plan, and was brazen enough to submit an application to Illeria in the hopes that her brilliance would outshine her omega status. With only two weeks to the start of term, she received a very candid letter informing her that she wouldn’t be receiving a place at Illeria, and to try her hand at a scholarship somewhere more fitting.

It shouldn’t have crushed her, but she had cried over the stupid letter and then torn it to shreds in a fit of rage. Lena wasn’t an alpha, but she was a Luthor, and if her mother taught her anything, it was that Luthors never gave up. She ransacked Lex’s room until she found his acceptance letter and called her friends to help her make a new I.D.

If Lex wasn’t going to use this opportunity, then Lena would have to do it for him.

“Wait, so you’re going to pretend to be Lex to go to Illeria?” Eve asked when she arrived with Jess and Winn. “You’ll need a fake mustache—”

 

 “I will not.” Lena vehemently stated and thrust the acceptance Letter into her hands with a smug flourish. “It’s an invite to L. Luthor. I don’t have to disguise myself at all. Well, not with facial hair, at least.”

“So you’re really doing it?” Jess asked in a whisper, her fingers clutching at Lena’s sweater anxiously. “Do you even know how to act like an alpha?”

 

“How hard can it be?” Lena scoffed, and dramatically squared her shoulders to strut across her room. “I just have to walk around like I own the place and sit with my legs spread.” She demonstrated by straddling her desk chair, and her friends all shared worried glances.

“What?” She asked, trying not to slump as she took in their worry. “You don’t think I’ll pass as an alpha?”

“It’s just, you’ve never even dated one and now you’re planning on living on a campus entirely filled with them.” Winn not so tactfully pointed out, then winced when Jess elbowed him in the ribs. “You’re not the slightest bit worried that you’re going to be stuck with them 24/7? What if they find out you don’t belong there?”

“They’re just like arrogant, overgrown children.” Lena muttered under her breath as anxiety crept through her chest. “How hard can it be to fool an alpha?”


“What if you go into heat?” Eve asked, suddenly intrigued by the idea of being surrounded by beefy alphas all ready to take care of her needs. “Do you think they’d help you out before turning you over to the Dean?”

 
Lena paled at the thought and pressed her lips together. She had never considered it, but heats could be offset with the right medication and if she planned it correctly she could go months without any issue. “I’ll keep a supply of suppressors and scent maskers on hand."
