"Alan! Alan! Al, come down! Alan! We are going to be late."
Early in the morning, a female was yelling outside an old apartment building. Her features were pretty. She had beautiful brown eyes, red juicy lips and plump cheeks. There was nothing wrong with her. However, she was popular for her bad reputation around the area.
Her name was Rui. She was an omega and turned twenty this year. Yet, she was neither engaged nor in a relationship. Pretty much single. That was an abnormal occurence in this world full of Alphas, omegas and betas. Nowadays, every omega was bound to a household by marriage after turning eighteen. It was a trend going on and everyone had to follow. That pretty female omega was not unwanted by others, it's just that she was too hard to handle.
She was the only child and was born after several years of trying. Her parents were resilient to marry her off. They loved her and they spoiled her in every possible way. If she asked for toys, her parents would buy her the whole shop. In her teen years, she developed interest in video games and martial arts. So, her parents let her study martial arts. She was a rebel, a person who had appearance of a flower yet strength of a rock. Her habit of doing as she pleased, got her the title of macho-lady amongst her peers. The other females thought of her as disgrace to omegas. They often left her out and bullied her in school. But she never cared.
Later, she met another rebel. A transfer student who was a male omega yet had a history of brawls and fights. He was the most beautiful omega in the whole school yet he was so notorious that even alphas avoided him. Once, an omega went into estrus during the class. When all the omegas ran away as they were afraid of getting stimulated, the alphas surrounded the poor omega to bond with him. Several kinds of pheromones spread through the air. The situation got so difficult that even teachers were unable to find a solution. Rui being a righteous person, felt the need to do something to save that omega but she was scared too. So, she walked towards the door, hoping to sneak in, snatch that omega and runaway. She held her breath and kicked the door open. And the sight in the room blew her mind away. The new student was holding the omega in one arm while kicking the stomach of two alphas who were lying on the ground. There were three others surrounding him and he stood there stern as the Everest. Rui ran inside and helped the new student bring that omega out. Rui being a martial arts enthusiast admired that new student for his courage. Later that day she found out that his name was Alan.
This person became her only friend who stood by her side in all highs and lows. Even though he was a beauty and his handsome feature were mesmerizing, he was a savage omega. He had no family, household, pack or clan. Everyone called him savage because even though he was an omega, he was worst then a mad dog. Rui's bad reputation also came from the fact that she was befriended with savage like Alan.
The french window on the first floor slid open and a nineteen year old boy yelled back," Rui, stop yelling! I will be down in 5 minutes."
Even though these two were loud as hell, no one cared to scold them. Because it was a daily occurrence for people in the building. They didn't expect anything better from that savage omega anyway.
Tap! Tap! Tap! The sound of struggling footsteps came from the stair case. With a thump, Alan stopped in front of Rui. "Let's go, what are you even waiting for. Or do you need me to print an invitation for you."
" What did you say? I was waiting for so long. You are such a filthy ingrate." Rui punched the back of the omega running in front of her. Both of these students ran after another, as fast as possible, to catch the bus. The people passing by couldn't help but turn their heads in the direction these two went. Everywhere they passed, a scent of sandalwood and rose petals proliferated in the air. It was the strong scent of two powerful omegas.
They both crossed the road and finally caught the bus. The majority of people sitting in the bus were high school students and everyone knew these two very well, thanks to their well built reputation. So, no one wanted to mess with these two mad dogs. Both of them pushed their way to the last seat and rested their buttocks on the leather.
" I can't believe it. You dare to oversleep on the exam day. Alan you are growing more and more slothful." Rui scolded Alan while tiding up her long hair.
" Hey! We got on the bus and we are not tardy, so stop complaining. Also, I wasn't sleeping, I was doing last minute revision for hierarchy in modern world. That question is a must for Ancient history exam." Alan explained with his proud nose saluting the heaven.
" What!! Ugh! S***! Why it doesn't ring any bells. What the hell was that one? Is it important? ...Tell me.. tell me about it! Won't you Al? Pretty please." Rui's attitude took a whole U turn. Her pretty face was full of despair. The horror of missing one or two marks in the exam and sliding down thousand of ranks in merit list is painful. Every student going through college entrance exams knows one thing for sure, every mark matters.
As he watched the crumbled expression on Rui's face, Alan couldn't hold back his laughter, " oh, our poor Rui, look who is the lazy one now." Alan paused and explained," Alright. Listen to me carefully. We will arrive in ten minutes. So, I will not repeat myself okay." Alan scooted over and started elaborating the hierarchy in modern world.
" Around hundred years ago, our ancestors came up with the idea of hierarchy. According to this idea it is the duty of every individual to have offsprings and to keep their family genes growing. Once a family is created, it must expand. When second and third generations are born, they can leave the clan and start their own family or pack. So, every one should live as social being and should learn how to respect each other. They can live in family, clan or pack. The family includes first blood relatives, a clan includes all the second and third blood relatives. The pack is different from both, it can include both related and non related people. Mostly people who had no blood relatives or don't want to live with their blood relatives can start their own pack." Alan inhaled large amount of air and continued. " However, there are exceptions who fit in none of the families, packs or clans. These are called savages. You can say they are like lone wolf. They hunt alone and are very hard to tame. The savages can be alpha, beta or omega. However, the chances of an omega being a savage are only 5%."
" Rui, you should feel honoured to be friends with one. I am so precious." Alan pressed his finger onto his cheeks making a heart shape. The way he did it was so cringe-worthy that other passengers who saw it by chance, turned their head away.
Rui was so annoyed that she instantly punched that heart and crushed it into pieces, "You are one cocky bastard. Anyways, that's it? That's all you had to say. That was easy."
"Oh, kids these days are so naïve... That was just the differentiation between social units. The hierarchy can be explained only when you know this much basics. Now, where was I ? Yes! Every social unit or family consist of humans which are born with different abilities. Omegas are generally born with weak bodies and sharp minds. They have the ability to bear an egg and preserve it in their womb. In layman's language, they can make babies. Betas are generally born with strong bodies and weak intelligence. They do have the ability to produce eggs but there are only 50% chances of successful delivery. Last but not the least, alphas are born with strong bodies and high intelligence. They are super efficient. Also, out of the three only they have the ability to fertilise eggs."
Alan paused and looked at Rui, " Any questions?"
" Oh… I don't have any."
" You really don't?"
" Naah.. It is easy. Isn't it common sense? Everyone knows about this."
Alan slammed a paper on Rui's head, " Don't you wonder, if alphas are invincible?"
" Ow.. No. Everyone knows they got it all. They are the only gender that could fertilise the eggs. They have mind and strength both. Offcourse, they are invincible."
Alan slammed her again. " No you fool, they are not invincible. Every one has weakness. In case of alphas, their existence is their weakness. No one knows this but it is written in ancient history book. It says that before modern hierarchy was postulated, alphas used to kill each other for territories. If there was more than one alpha in family or clan, they would fight and kill each other for dominance. The one who won was called supreme alpha and the loser was called semi alpha. Only the supreme had the power of decision in the household. But later the human rights were made more strict and the alphas slowly learnt to live on equal footing. Even now, subconsciously, alphas can not tolerate another alpha encroaching their territory. But they can't kill each other or they will get punished by the law. It's their in built nature to be protective and possessive."
" Whoa. Cool. You know what, my grandmother also told me something like this before. She said that there was a legend about a mad king who annihilated all the supreme alphas and their territories for his love. He almost murdered 70% of the alphas in this way. The population decreased because of what he did. As a result, the ministers successfully poisoned the mad king and restored the balance of three genders."
" What nonsense ! Just focus on what I told you and write exactly that in the paper. Maybe then you will be able to make it to the same college as me." Again, his nose saluted the heavens.
" My god Alan. When will you stop being so cocky?", both the omegas arrived at their stop and got off the bus.
