A high-ranking Alpha dismisses others to confront a Beta, the runner-up in a competition. He reveals he's known the Beta has been watching him and, deeming Omegas weak and unworthy, unexpectedly declares the Beta should become his mate. The Beta rejects the proposal as insane, pointing out their different statuses. Suddenly, another man identifies the Beta as a waiter who helped his Omega escape and orders an attack. The Alpha steps in, claiming the conflict as his own and warning the others to stay back, setting up a tense standoff.
