Chapter Text
IN the future, many, many years from now, humanity will become nearly extinct from a massive war that used mostly chemical warfare and caused a plague of disease, pestilence, and death to sweep across the whole Earth. It would later be called The Great Death. A few thousand humans, that had the genetics to be immune to the disease and somehow found a way to survive on what little food they could find, were able to help restore their species. However, this story takes place after many years have pass since this war and the human race has made a major come back, returning to the number of people that lived before The Great Death. The terms Alpha, Beta, and Omega are words used in this future to decide what part of society one will perform (Social Importance), and is determined through blood test (A type blood= Alpha, B type= Beta, and O= Omega. AB blood types do exist, but they are rare and hard to place into a group and thus require logical and physical test when they get older.).
Alphas are the leaders, with qualities such as being strong, brave, intelligent, beautiful, and aggressive. Betas are to be the workers that are perform tasks that Alphas instruct them to take care of, so they are easy going people that don’t mind being followers. And finally, there are the Omegas. Omegas are those that their main role is to bear, give birth to the majority of, and help raise the children of humanity, and (if allowed to by Alphas) can work as teachers or nannies for the younger children. They are to be submissive, loving, and sensible.
Now, as time went on past The Great Death, the chemicals continued to be in the air and ground, contaminating the water in the streams and the food that struggled to grow from the earth, thus killing off even more of the already dwindling human race. To survive, humans had to assimilate to their altered environment and thus tribes were formed and, due to nuclear fallout and other various chemicals around the humans, mutations began to occur. Humans now recognized each other by scent as they gave off stronger pheromones. Women stopped having monthly menstrual cycles, but were still able to give birth despite this.
Soon after, certain women and men started to feel awkward every three months, going into a type of heat that was similar to a female rabbit during the mating season. Later, it was found that both men and women were both able to give birth, and those that went through these “heats” were even more fertile and were able to give birth to more children much more frequently as pregnancy lasted 6 months for them. These men and woman were referred to as “Omegas” because of how fragile and regularly pregnant they were, and thus when fighting and hunting they had to stay behind, and were only allowed to fight or hunt as a last resort.
“Betas” were those that did not go through the heat and were not attracted to Omegas that were in heat. They were originally the group that guarded the Omegas and other Betas that were with child and went hunting so that they could help kill and carry the food back and fought as warriors under an Alpha.
Those that lead the people and were at the fore front of territorial wars and hunting trips were the “Alphas”. Alphas protected and cared for the rest of their tribes as they were the strongest and most strategically skilled. But, despite their strengths they were brought to their knees by a nearby Omega that happened to be in heat. Alphas usually mated to matured Omegas once they were able to recognize the scent of the heat, which caused them to forget everything around them until they were satisfied by knotting inside of an Omega (which raised the chances of fertilization). Alphas tended to have about 5 mates each and marked their mates two of three ways: 1. Scaring a mark into the Omegas arm (which is no longer socially acceptable, but happens to Omegas with particularly possessive Alphas). 2. Giving some sort of gem or rock on a necklace or bracelet which they carried on themselves as well (Now used as a way of proposal of mating to an Omega). And 3. Marking the Omega with their scent (which happens naturally after knotting).
As time went on, the tribes formed cities and soon the countries of old were re-established with the same names, and governments were brought back for each country (monarchs, democracies, ect). After technological advances were made to pass the technology of even The Great Death, scientists were able to find the link between blood types and Social Importance. Soon, as cities were re-built and the need for hunting and territorial wars diminished, social order changed to accommodate for the lack of primal needs.
Alphas still held leadership positions, but also started to work more in the scientific fields ( where their intelligence was of great use) and the entertainment media (where their looks helped swoon people into watching their movies or buying the products that they advertised). Omegas started to gain a few more freedoms rather than being dependent on an Alpha all their lives until they decided they wanted to be mated (which usually happened around 18 years of age). Betas started to mate with Alphas and Omegas, but continued to be the “worker bees” of society. While the hierarchy of Social Importance still exists, and the roles have not changed much since their ancestors, one thing has gotten much more complex and annoying for each generation of humans: Finding mates.
And that is where our story begins, with a certain AB-Omega who hates himself greatly, but hates a certain Alpha even more. But the poor outcast can’t seem to get the Alpha out of his classes, his house, or his life in general.
