In this world, there are two genders, male and female. Then, there is what is called second gender. Second Gender is usually seen when women or men going through the puberty and from the results of the tests they go through. They will be classified into three groups.
Omega, Alpha, Beta.
Omegas can conceive a child no matter the gender, while Alphas can impregnating an Omega, Betas themselves can breed with other Betas. Omegas and Alphas emit their own scent called pheromones and can only be smelled by the two other than Beta.
Omega and Alpha are further divided into a Common, Recessive and Dominant. Recessive Omega and Recessive Alpha usually have difficulty having offspring, their success rate of having offspring is almost zero. Recessives can conceive or impregnating if their partner is a dominant, the pheromones released by the dominant Alpha or Omega can make the recessive pheromones much more active, making it seem like a dominant or a common, although it'll be temporarily.
However, Dominants are only born amongst the Elite and Conglomerates while a Common Omegas as well as Recessive Omegas are born to ordinary people. The chances of the two meeting are so slim that Recessives usually spend their lives with Beta partners or fellow Recessives.
Alpha and Omega can also be seen from their figures, Omegas are small in stature, unlike a Beta whose body can be so tall and large, Omegas are usually small. Their height will not exceed 175cm, unless they are a dominant. An Omega's body has been created in preparation for bearing a child, so their bodies are mostly slender.
As for the Alpha itself, it is usually much taller, their heights can reach 2 meters.
Back then, gender equality was difficult. Omega struggled to find work and was often ostracized from the community. Now, everything is the same. The suppressant released by the largest drug manufacturer in the country is now able to make Omega work as usual without the hindrance of HEAT.
That's right, HEAT. HEAT is when the Omegas enter their fertile period. In this moment, they will release pheromones to attract the Alphas to have sex with them and impregnate them. As for the Alphas, they experience RUT.
During these times, Omega and Alpha usually lose control of themselves, if they are not careful they can have sex with anyone they don't know, and if that happens, pregnancy is definitely happening.
The night sky was so bright, tonight's full moonlight was quite visible from the window on the third floor of this building. A tall man with a broad chest and athletic build looked out the window, his blue eyes gazing up at the moon in the high sky. His eyebrows twitched and his red lips smiled faintly.
He sighed and turned his head.
"Mom, did I have to come to this place?" He asked, his long platinum blonde hair look shining and smooth, he threw it behind his shoulder, hooked behind his ear to reveal a beautiful earring that he wore, he was standing behind a woman wearing a luxurious dress with similarly colored hair that was arranged so neatly that it resembled a large scroll.
The middle-aged woman turned to him and sighed.
The woman's only son was wearing a black-white tuxedo that matched her own dress. The mother and son were attending a party for the country's top businessmen, everyone was required to attend and of course the reason the mother had brought the son here was to introduce him as the company's successor.
"Amari, you just need to keep quiet, your father arranged for you to be here so that he could officially announce that you are the successor in the company." Slightly chuckling, his mother then picked up a glass of champagne and handed it to her son who was now pouted, annoyed. His beautiful eyebrows knitted together as he took the glass.
"Ah, Mrs. Ashleen Aston White! Are you here with your son?" A big man approached them, he shook the petite hand of the middle-aged woman named Ashleen.
"Mr. Bankert! How are you?" Ashleen asked pleasantly, her smile so wide.
"Good! Of course I'm fine, isn't this..." He pointed towards the back of Ashleen's body with his eyes sparkling, Ashleen shifted slightly exposing the boy who was now confused as to how to react.
"Amari, this is my only son, Amari Midgley White."
The big man referred to as Mr. Bankert extended his hand which was awkwardly welcomed by Amari, who tried to smile to look a little friendly.
"Oh my God! I last saw him when he was in elementary school! He's so big now, is he going to inherit the company?"
Ashleen smiled widely and nodded, "Right, next week we will officially announce that the company will be taken over by Amari."
The man nodded after releasing the handshake and then smiled, "Isn't this the first time an Omega has become the leader of a company? Moreover, it's not just an ordinary company, the White family is the second major Mafia family after the Dhurudatta family. Do you think he can handle it? This is a dangerous fields."
Ashleen was silent for a moment when she heard that, then she smiled broadly as she looked down, "Oh Mr. Bankert! Don't tell me you still hold the notion that an Omega cannot lead? Nowadays, gender equality is already happening. An Omega can do anything."
Mr. Bankert was a little surprised, his eyes rounded at that but then he laughed as if what Ashleen said was funny. Amari snorted. He was tired of hearing that ever since the talk of him taking over the company came up.
The company officials who are a boomers also refused to accept him as a leader. Although the Omega's abilities have been seen and recognized, there are also many Alphas who feel that the Omega is nothing more than a child machine only.
Amari is the only son of the White family, as mentioned by Mr. Bankert, the White family is known as the biggest mafia family after the Dhurudatta family. They are engaged in the sale of freighters, they also sell and rent out heavy construction equipment such as excavators, bulldozers, cranes. That's why these two families have been inseparable for a long time.
Amari walked towards the backyard of the building, after trying to smile from one person to another he was finally able to escape. He had been there for two hours, listening to his mother's ramblings introducing him as the company's successor. Not to mention hearing some scorn and sarcasm because he was an Omega.
Amari is not an Omega Dominant, which was why many people underestimated him abilities. Dominants are only born into Elite families, while his family is not an Elite family except for his mother. Ashleen Aston White is an Dominant Alpha who left her Elite title to be with Amari's Omega father, Jesse White.
The complicated marriage has now lasted almost forty years.
Amari sat on a bench, straightening his long legs. For an Omega, he stood at 5'10, his body slender yet athletic so that the muscles bulged from his arms when he spread his hands. Amari raised his head, looking up at the full moon far away.
He didn't want to continue the company, but he couldn't refuse either. The company needed a successor, his parents were now over sixty years old. They couldn't always be active, his father who had diabetes was now mostly at home while his mother had heart problems.
Amari couldn't say no, he was only 29 years old when his parents finally decided to pass the company down to him.
He let out another breath.
"You've sighed ten times since sitting there." The deep voice coming from not far from him made Amari jump in surprise, he turned his head to the right and left, the faint silhouette of a person leaning against one of the trees was visible.
"Who are you?" He asked, his eyebrows knitted together, he tried to sharpen his eyes.
The chewing sound was heard and a man he knew appeared there. Still the same as the last time he met him on campus when they were both studying five years ago. The only difference was that his black hair was now so short, the earrings in his ears were still so many, the sharp monolid eyes, the small high nose and also the beautiful curved lips.
"Joshua?"
The man walked over to him, without speaking he sat down next to Amari and handed him the box of chocolates he had been holding.
"Want some?"
Amari, who was still surprised, shook his head slowly.
"You're coming to this party too?" He asked him, Amari shifted his seat slightly and looked at the man beside him in astonishment.
"Well, Cross and Gruvv couldn't make it, so I took their place." Replying casually, he took one chocolate in the box and ate it again.
Amari paused for a moment after processing that he was now reunited with his childhood friend. Could say that because they had known each other since childhood. Back then, they were taken to parties by their parents, left to play in the playgrounds together. Amari and Joshua both went to the same kindergarten and then met again in college.
"You haven't changed." Joshua said then, he turned to Amari who was still staring at him. "Your hair is getting longer." The man said that with such a flat, expressionless face, his mouth still chewing chocolate.
Amari then chuckled, covering his mouth with both hands, his eyebrows rising as he laughed, "You too, you haven't changed. It's just that you cut your hair." Amari said.
"It's hot. My nieces and nephews are always nosy anyway. They're always playing with my hair."
"Ah right, Gruvv already has two kids right?" Asked Amari, he then turned his gaze in another direction after feeling Joshua's gaze was too fixed on him.
Joshua nodded.
"I heard you're going to inherit the company?" Joshua asked then, taking another chocolate which he then put into his mouth.
"Right, my parents are going to retire."
Joshua didn't say anything after Amari answered the question. Amari felt awkward, he didn't know what to say or ask to Joshua. They hadn't seen each other in a long time and Amari didn't know what Joshua's life was like after he heard that Joshua's older brother had given up his positions in the underground.
Just as Amari was about to open his mouth, Joshua suddenly put his arm around his shoulders and pulled him into a hug, the man then brought Amari's body down near a bench. A noise was heard, PSIU! CLANG!
PRANGGG! The sound of shattering window rang out loudly, a bullet striking inside making all the guests boisterous and chaotic inside. Amari still had his eyes closed, his body trembling.
It came again. The shot that had been targeting him, now came again.
