Alex shook his head, deciding to leave the questions for later. "I was thinking of having Mattius lure Lendel out of his carriage," he said as a way to steer the conversation back on track. "It's no secret that the High Priest has a bit of a loose pocket for omegas. And Mattius here happens to be able to pass for one."
"Of course, he can pass for one," Carl said. "He is one, though the scent is very faint."
Headmaster Arien's eyebrows shot up. "I'm surprised you could tell. Most cannot. Even alphas have a hard time picking out my scent."
Alex didn't let anything show on his face, but he filed the information away inside his mind for later.
Sometimes, it really sucked to be a beta. Alex was unlucky and could not smell pheromones at all. Even if an omega were to go into heat in front of him, he wouldn't be able to smell the pheromones at all, unlike most betas who could smell at least that much.
