Secrets from the omega •Mew/Gulf•

Chapter 1 Let's go home

***

With shaking hands, he held the papers while tears filled his eyes. He looked down and saw the little symbols that indicated what your second gender would be. One would be crossed and that would mean that you were either an alpha, beta or... an omega. He scanned the papers and his eyes landed on the little cross that was scribbled on the paper. He read the word that was written next to it over and over again.

Why him! He didn't even look like one. His shoulder shook and he let the test result process in his mind. He felt so disappointed.

Gulf gasped; his eyes blinked open. Yet again the same dream. He could feel that even his eyes were wet from unshed tears. He sat up on the bed and looked over at his alarm clock, 6.30 am. Sighting he got up slowly and put his hands over his face and wiped away the unshed tears. He wouldn't be able to sleep after this again so he decided to get up and just have an early breakfast and make a morning walk. He needed it after yet again a restless night. He pulled his lanky tall figure of the bed and headed to the bathroom and took a shower and brushed his teeth. He opened the cabinet next to the mirror and pulled out the little bottle that was named suppressants and popped it open before taking one out. He sighted and swallowed it down with some water.

Just because he was an omega didn't mean he wanted to be one. He had lived the last six years as an alpha and he was going to keep it that way. six years ago, when he got the results back from the doctors, he couldn't process that it said Omega. His mom was an omega and he loved her dearly but he also saw how omegas still got treated in this society and how it was hard for them to find a good job. They even had to watch out for alphas when they were in heat or they could be attacked. He had always thought he would be an alpha or a beta at least. His was tall and didn't look like the omegas around him. So, it was a shock when he got to know he was one. From that moment he had decided he wouldn't give in to his second gender. He would just act like an alpha!

Simple as that. Ever since then, he took suppressants and scent neutralizers so no on would know. It did have side effects though... headaches, itchy skin and terrible mood swings. But! He did a good job powering through them and he was happy with the way he was living now. Alphas surely had an easier life. He got into a good college and he was in his last year of engineering. After this he wanted to look for a good job to be able to live and provide for himself and live a happy life. Maybe even find a beautiful omega and start a family. He could hide being an omega for his whole life if he kept on being careful. Right now, he was living of his scholarship and part time jobs so he would still be able to afford his suppressants. They were expensive with how many he needed every time. Most omegas only took them for their heats if it would be really inconvenient for them but he had been taking them for every heat he had so he wouldn't need to experience them. He heard they were very painful and uncomfortable so he happily took them every month. the scent neutralizers he took were also expensive because he put it on every day. He knew only Alphas could smell omegas scents but he didn't want to risk people finding out he was an omega, so he also needed money for that. It wasn't like he was poor, he just had enough to come by. He didn't complain about his life and he was happy with the way he lived right now. Those few side effects couldn't keep him down.

When he finished his breakfast, he was supposed to go for a walk but he was running late already for his morning lecture with all the thinking he had been doing. He grabbed his laptop and put it in his backpack. He almost forgot the strip of new scent neutralizers and put them in the side pocket before heading out the door and jumping on his bike. His college was only 15 minutes away from his apartment so he didn't see why he needed a car so he had invested in a good bike.

When he arrived a very cheerful Mild greeted him with both arms up, waving at him.

"Gulf! Finally, you're here!"
