1 Chapter 1

"Hey, stop dozing off, pipsqueak." John said as he poked my head.

We're senior high school students and today is the first day of school, so we must be there before the bell rings.

"What the fuck?! Pipsqueak? You were about 15 centimeters taller than me!" I said. John and I were best friends, he's my neighbor, and we always went to school together.

He smirked. "Still taller. Hahaha!" He's so random.

"Fuck you."

"Sorry bro, I prefer female betas, but..." he eyed me from head to foot, "I think you'll still--- Ouch!" I smacked him.

"Bastard!" John laughed and ran away from me when I tried to smack him again.

'I'm gonna ask myself twice why and how he became my best friend.'

To clarify, John is not into me, for sure. It just happened that I'm omega, and he loves to joke about that.

We have two types of gender, primary gender and secondary gender. The primary gender was female or male. I'm a male, 100% sure.

The secondary gender type consists of Alpha, Beta, and Omega. 92% of the world's population was composed of Betas. They're species that can be related to ordinary people. Which means females give birth while male works.

Next, Omega consists of only 3% of the world's population. In this gender type, it doesn't matter whether you're female or male; both genders can get pregnant and give birth.

Omegas mostly have soft features and emit an Omega scent, which is attractive for all Alphas and undergo a monthly 'heat cycle'. It's the time when Omega emits much stronger pheromones that could drive all Alpha wild and aggressive. Sometimes, they could also affect Betas if the pheromones were undeniably strong.

Lastly, Alphas. The top dog of this society. Once you're an Alpha, everything will always fall on your hands. Society favors you since you have the highest rank among all secondary genders. Alphas could get either female Betas or female and male Omegas pregnant because they had the most potent pheromones.

If Omegas could drive Alphas crazy and aggressive, Alphas could make all bend their knees for them. They comprise 5% of the world's population, and out of that percentage, only 1% were considered Dominant.

Dominant and Recessive. Only Alphas and Omegas have this type. For Alphas, if you're Recessive, you have weaker pheromones than Dominant ones. However, Recessive Alpha is still a higher ranking than Omegas and Betas. Dominant Alphas were the strongest and highest-ranking of all gender types. They are the Alpha of all the Alpha.

While for Omegas, Dominant Omegas emit much stronger pheromones than recessives. Recessive Omegas were the rarest type of Omega. Dominant Omega undergoes a heat cycle monthly. However, Recessive Omegas mostly undergo a heat cycle with a few months' intervals, or sometimes it takes a year before the heat cycle comes.

Dominant Omegas were also easy to impregnate than the Recessive type. But the heat cycle of the Recessive type of Omegas is hit harder than dominants. Since it took them a few months before their heat cycle, their pheromones are suppressed, and the heat cycle comes.

Once these pheromones are unleashed, it could not be dangerous for Recessive types because they can attract more Alphas to them. So to prevent Omegas from being harassed by other genders, they are given suppressants by the government to relieve the pain and pheromones from the heat cycle.

Well, for me, I'm a Recessive type of Omega. It took 3-4 months before my heat cycle. Thankfully my parents were so attentive about it. They've made my room safe and well-made, so my pheromones will not spread outside my room.

On the other hand, this specie beside me, John, is a Beta. Aside from his brain, I think everything about him was pretty normal. I guess. Both John and I are 17 years old, turning 18 this year.

'One more month before I could finally find my fated mate.'

A few minutes before the bell rang, John and I arrived at our academy. We stood in our lane. The program started, principal and teachers explained our school's new goals. After that, they dismissed us and made us go to our classrooms.

The whole day was full of chatter and introduction. Pretty boring. After our dismissal, the bell rang; I got my bag and went to John, who was waiting for me.

"Yo, pipsqueak. This day is 'boo'-ring. Ain't there any exciting things to happen?" He whined.

"Nope," I said.

"Buuuut. I'm sick of it!" He exaggeratingly said.

I glared at him, "Go to the rooftop, then jump. End of your misery. Do a flip when you do that, ok?" Then I patted his shoulder and passed him.

"Huh! I would do that! Don't stop me!" I just waved my middle finger to him. A few seconds later, I felt him jump onto my back. "Ack! What the fuck?!"

"You're a meanie! You want me dead? Bully! You should treat me to karaoke hub!"

I shoved away his arms around me. "No way! You won't taste any cent of my money!" Then I walked away. However, the bastard couldn't let it off and chased me.

"Noooo! Kyle! Just this one! Please?" He even makes puppy eyes. Disgusting.

"No."

After several pleas I received from him, my patience reached its limits, so I just agreed for him shut his freaking mouth.

It's been 30 minutes, and John is still singing. John has a good voice. It is a good thing cause if he doesn't, I will make him swallow the microphone.

"I wanna lay you down in the bed of roses~ for tonight I sleep on a bed on nails~!" John was really into it.

I suddenly felt my throat dry, and sweat fell on my forehead. Why the fuck is this room so hot?

"Hey, John," I called him. He didn't bother, and he's still singing. I grabbed the pillow beside me and threw it at him.

"Hmm?" He stopped singing for a while to look at me. "I know you're paying, but let me have my enjoyment. I'm ---"

"Is the aircon not working?" I asked. He gave me a 'WTF' look.

"Bro, it's on."

"But, why--- ok, maybe I'm just hungry. I'll gonna grab some food outside." I said, then stood up. My surrounding got blurry for a moment, then went back to normal.

"Get me some cola!" I showed him my middle finger and then went outside.

Every feels heavy. I can't walk straight. I can feel how my knees tremble. I can't think, honestly. Every inch of my body is burning.

Even without looking, I know someone's coming at me. That person tried to hold me, but I shoved his hands away.

"Sir, are you ok? I came to help you." It's a man, I know. He tried to touch me again. "Sir, I think I should take you to the hospital. You looked like you were about to pass out and..." He paused for a moment. "You are emitting such heavy pheromones. Are you perhaps in you're heat cycle?"

I felt my body petrified for a moment. A what? Pheromones? Heat cycle? But... I just got my heat cycle like two weeks ago. It should take 2 and a half months more before my heat cycle. So why?

"Sir? It's ok. I'm an omega too. I could help---." I pushed his hands away.

"N-no. I'm ok. Just stay away. A-away please."

"But sir---!"

"STOP, WILL YOU?!" I felt sorry when I saw his surprised expression. My scream also caught the attention of the other customer from the karaoke hub. Some of them smelled the air, and so I panicked.

With all my strength left, I ran away. When I saw a narrow route, I hid there. My knees trembled hard. I don't think I can walk anymore.

Why the fuck is this happening?! I should not be in my heat cycle. It should be next month on my 18th birthday. Why is this happening?

I was trembling hard when I remembered my phone. "Mom..."

But my vision is failing me. I can't see the names on my phone, so I just click randomly. I hear my phone's dialing tone and put it near my ear. "A-answer... please..."

I don't have any suppressants because I didn't know that my heat cycle would come this early.

The ringing stopped, and I heard someone answer the phone.

"Hello? Kyle?" He's a man, but I can't distinguish whose voice that is.

With my remaining strength, I fight myself from dozing off. "H-Help." my voice was hoarse. Maybe because of too much trembling.

"Where the fuck are you?! Tell me! Kyle! Kyle! Ky---." My vision went even blurry then I passed out.

I don't know when the person I called arrived to save me. I just felt him carrying me. That's why I opened my eyes.

But something is wrong. The air... smells sweet, dominant, and intoxicating in a good way. I just can't help but smell it, sniff it.

"Kyle? Are you ok? Can you hear me, Kyle?" I don't know. I can't understand you. But... you smell so good.

I felt my mouth water. I felt my heartbeats vigorously. The hotness I'm feeling doubled. The air smells more addicting. I tried to touch his face. He's so warm. I can feel my tears falling because of too much excitement and hunger for this man.

"Kyle?" I know he's calling me. His voice is so manly.

I caressed his face. "M-my... m-mate..." I said softly. I knew he was shocked because he secretes more of his lovely pheromones.

I gathered all of my strength and pushed myself to kiss him. At first, he was hesitant, but after a moment, he responded to my kisses with much affection and hunger.

When we parted our lips, I spoke, "M-my... m-mate... you... are... my mate..."

I felt his smile, "Yes, my beloved. I am your mate."
