Thread: Alpha and Omega || IrishRose80 and Collector of Rarities

It was simple anthropology, evolutionary science, biology. Humans were primates, having descended from the great apes. That wasnt a groundbreaking discovery by any means, it was just science. However, in a small percentage of the population, that wasnt the case at all. For 90 percent of the world, things were simple. They were human beings, nothing further. But that last 10 percent, that was where things became a bit tricky. Alphas and omegas operated on a slightly different genetic code, more closely related to wolves than to the primates that humans were descended from. Humans were by far the dominant species on earth in term of sheer numbers, but in terms of speed, power and durability, alphas had regular humans far outstripped. If there was a hierarchy, it was generally accepted that alphas were at the top of that hierarchy. They were the elite powerful and strong and domineering, taking command of politics, finance, real estate If you were an alpha, the world was your oyster. Omegas, however omegas were a very different situation entirely. If alphas were the victors, omegas were the spoils. Beautiful, biddable and needy, they were the ultimate trophy, the prize that anyone, alpha or human, would practically kill to have. Since it wasnt until puberty that a persons status was assured, until that point everyone was educated the same. However, once a persons status presented itself, life became very different depending upon which caste you were in. Alphas found themselves with greater opportunities, as well as greater responsibilities, as was fitting for a person who would be considered among the elite of society. Omegas though, were a valuable commodity. An omega wouldnt be wasted in the workforce, not when they were so much more desirable as the biddable little fuckpets and broodmares that they inevitably became once they were claimed by an alpha. The entire concept was anathema to Morgan. Why on earth should the fact that she presented as an omega when she turned twelve make a difference in what she wanted to do with her life? Fuck that noise. Shed been considered one of the smartest children in her school, had skipped two grade levels and had been taking college courses on the side since middle school. Thankfully shed presented the summer before high school, otherwise the prestigious academy that she was applying to would have turned her down soundly. Her parents were fortunately understanding of her plight and were able to change her documentation to list her as a male student, allowing her to wear the far less revealing male uniform to school it would have been impossible to hide the white wolf ears and tail that had come with her omega status had she been forced to wear the positively scandalous girls uniform! and to pass as a regular beta human. And thus Morgan Ramsey entered high school at the prestigious Aberthney Academy for the Gifted. But that was just where her troubles really began. As if it wasnt a hard enough life for Morgan to be an omega trying to pass as a beta, school itself seemed destined to thwart her. Ever since shed had her first heat with the onset of puberty, shed been hiding, taking suppressants, hiding her omega features under a hat and hoodie that she was never seen without, tucking her tail down into her pants leg and doing her absolute best to not call too much attention to herself. It wasnt easy, by any stretch all the physical indicators were there, proudly declaring her to be an omega, and shed had to work extra hard and become extra crafty to hide her actual status in the hierarchy of the world she lived in. Her uniform being a few sizes too big and baggy on her, chest and hip binders, slouching to hide her height, and the suppressantsGod, the suppressants made her sick. But she wasnt about to be stuck in some prissy little charm school for proper omegas. She was going to do something with herself. Be somebody. Everything would be going fine if she hadnt been paired up with an alpha for her chemistry partner. For the rest of the fucking semester. She looked down at the smooth black surface of the lab table, doing anything rather than look at the huge, intimidating Alpha making his way towards the table. She could do this. She could manage this. She could handle this. They just had to work on their science project, that was all. No need to do anything more than that. She waited silently, wondering if he was going to address her first. She could feel her heart in her throat and she willed her stomach to stop churning. He wouldnt find out. No one would find out. Shed hidden it for four years now, she could do it a little longer. Unfortunately, it wasnt just any alpha. Oh no, the universe couldnt be that kind to her. No, it had to be the alpha that she had been nursing a tiny crush on ever since shed started school at the academy. Shed tried to tell herself it was just instinct, just an omega seeking out a compatible alpha, thats all it was. It didnt help matters that he was tall, dark and handsome, with thick black fur and bright golden eyes and he made her knees weak every time he walked past her. It wasnt fair. It wasnt fair in the least and that more than anything else was the reason behind Morgans perpetual sour attitude and disposition. She was smart, as smart as anyone at this school, maybe smarter. She was smart and tough and cunning and just because she happened to have been born with that unlucky genetic combination that doomed her to life as a pampered cockslut didnt mean that she had to take her fate lying down. Even if that meant only being able to imagine what it would be like to be claimed by the shaggy furred alpha making his way over to her table.
