CHAPTER I
"Hey there, sweet lady? Mind if you get me a couple of scotches, please?" An old man in his expensive suit ordered the lady waitress.
Which Magi gladly smiled at the man, even with the tremendous disgust she was feeling, because of the musky and foul scent of his pheromones. "Of course, Sir." She said with a forced grin.
But when she turned around, she gasped when the man slapped her behind. She was stunned for a moment and could not move.
"By your smell, I can tell you're an alpha. But with that body of yours, I don't mind having a night with an alpha like you." Cooed by the giggling man, as he took a sip from his expensive tobacco, blowing the smoke on her face.
She curtly turned her head to the side to avoid inhaling the scent as she felt her anger slowly rising and she knew with her clenched fists she was going to pummel this guy one day. But for now, she decided to take a deep breath and loosen her tight fists.
She can't make a scene right now or else she would immediately be kicked out of her job. She's broke as hell and she can't even pay her bills. And by now she knew that in any second she could lose her apartment. So, any wrong move that will trigger her boss to fire her is not an option for now.
'I really want to sucker punch that bastard.' She mentally snarled as she walked away. 'But I really need a job. I can't afford to lose this one.'
Magi stomps her way to the bartender and she says the scotches that the man ordered. While she's waiting on the counter, she can't help but look at her surroundings.
Wealthy people with their expensive and luxurious clothes and their extravagant accessories; are smiling while drinking the alcoholic beverages that were served to them. And in the midst of their smiling faces, their hormones cannot hide their true intentions.
This was a human world, but this is not how it works. The human race has different categories or also called second gender, that divide them. The number one was the alphas, they were the highest in the category, and there were two types of them; the dominant alpha also called alpha and the extremely dominant alpha.
In the midst of numerous alpha there were few people who were considered as extremely dominant alpha. Because of the few cases, they were considered rare. The difference between the alpha and the extremely dominant alpha are their heat, pheromones, and the senses. An alpha's heat can last for a few days, but an extremely dominant one can last for weeks and in rare cases it can last for months. That’s why, most of the time the extremely dominant alpha needs to be with their mate if they were in a rut. Because being away from their mate means hell.
When it comes to pheromones or scent, the scent of an extremely dominant was much stronger and much more intoxicating than an ordinary alpha. Resulting to induce the heat of some of the omegas with just the whip of their scent.
And when it comes to senses, the five senses of the extremely dominant alpha were sharper than any one and usually the large physique of their bodies gives away their second gender.
The next in category is omega. These were the destined mates of the alphas. Just like the alphas, they also have two types: the omega and the recessive omega. Their difference is that the recessive omega has a lower fertility rate and only the extremely dominant alphas can impregnate them.
And the last are the betas. They are not omegas nor alphas. They are considered as the 'ordinary'.
"Magi... Magi!" Jinx Merlotte, the bartender, called the spaced-out girl. "Jeez! I've been calling you for like an eternity! Here are the scotches."
"Oops, sorry about that, Jinx. I just have a lot in my mind." Magi smiled and took the glasses of scotches and proceeded to the man who ordered them.
"Presence of mind, okay? There were a lot of omegas around here and they can easily cover your scent, but there are also alphas that can smell you." Jinx -an omega just like her- warned her. “We have to be careful…” he mumbled as he playfully scanned the surroundings with his squinted eyes.
Magi could only laugh at him, He was one of the closest friends she had since they were both omegas. "Don't worry about me!" She beamed and cupped her hands on her mouth and whispered. "I've sprayed it on."
Jinx's eyebrows were furrowed due to confusion and his reaction made Magi chuckle. "You know the 'Embottled Pheromone?" She asked.
"The what?"
"Come on!" Magi signaled her friend to come closer to her, which he gladly complied with. "Closer, bro." She said as Jinx was not close enough.
"What? Are you planning to kiss me?" The man taunted Magi with a smirk.
But the lady only rolled her eyes and grabbed his collar and pulled him closer to her neck. Jinx gasped at the sudden action, making him get the whip of her scent.
"What is..." Jinx was dumbfounded when he smelled Magi. She smells like an alpha even though she's declared by the doctors as omega at a very young age.
Magi grinned at his reaction, "See? There's a new product released by the Brisbane. This is the 'Embottled Pheromones'. This product is actually for alphas with weak pheromones." She explained.
“What?! Magi, are you serious? That’s a pheromone of an alpha, are you sure you’re okay?”
“Yeah, I am. Don’t worry about me, I’ve taken my suppressants and I’ve got another in my bag.” She grinned and gave him a thumbs up.
The male only looked at her for a moment before chuckling, "And you think that spray of yours can effectively hide your scent from an extremely dominant, huh?"
"Bro, extremely dominants are rare!" She whined. "You can have my apartment if one shows in this party." She said before turning her back on him and walked away.
Jinx only chuckles at his friend's behavior.
On her way to the man, she smelled the musky smell of omegas’ hormones. She can stand the smell of her own kind, but with this level of hormones around her it means a lot of people here are looking for an alpha to mate.
Although this was the nature of their world, she didn't want any attention from any alpha so she decided to mask her scent. Because right now, her only goal is to make sure she's not going to lose her apartment.
She's getting close to the man who ordered when murmurs around her erupt. And the scent of hormones from female omegas intensifies. She pinched her nose due to the thick smell. But also because of it, she lost her balance and dropped the scotches on the carpet.
But no one noticed since everyone was mostly occupied by their own commotion. Magi picked up the glasses and put it on the tray. She's going to stand when she gets a whip of a very strong scent.
