<p>Born as a non-dominant Alpha to a noble family, Carlyle feels strongly about having an obligatory relationship with an Omega, so he receives counseling. The counselor encourages Carlyle to sleep with another Alpha to overcome these strong feelings. Carlyle, who didn't want to have sex with another Alpha, met Ash while meeting his partner. Ash had kissed Carlyle six years ago on New Year's Eve, but he doesn't remember.
