Omegaverse Clarification

The story is set in an omegaverse universe with a contemporary setting.

Omegaverse means the population of the world is divided into three species.

I. Alpha

II. Beta

III. Omega

The three species hold two more divisions, dominant and recessive. Dominants are the rarest and most desired in each species.

Dominant Alphas and Omegas are at the pinnacle of society; even if they are poor at birth, there is a high likelihood they will be adopted into high society. In the case of dominant omegas, they will be adopted as future wives to dominant alphas. Most dominant alphas will be adopted as heirs. The tradition has been there for centuries; hence dominant omegas and alphas almost always come from affluent backgrounds. Recessive Alphas occupy the upper middle class, while recessive omegas are the most socioeconomically disadvantaged; due to their frail bodies and frequent heat periods, they are deemed unsuitable for commercial workplaces; hence, most end up as sex workers. 

Heat/ rut is three to five days when an Alpha and Omega experience intense sexual arousal beyond their control, the level of sexual arousal and repetitiveness of the heat/rut cycle depends on the dominant status of the species. Alphas and Omegas secrete pheromones to communicate intense emotions beyond lust and anger and to stimulate arousal in their partners. Omega and Alpha pairing is done when an alpha sinks their teeth to the nape of an omega; a permanent pattern appears, bonding the two permanently. When a pair is bonded, they are connected emotionally; if one of the pair dies, the other cannot bond with another. Hence, most married couples are not bonded.

Betas occupy most of society. They do not experience heat/rut cycles, can't smell pheromones emitted by either an omega or Alpha and cannot bond or form pairs. BUT, any Beta and recessive can have their species change permanently if they are influenced by a dominant omega or dominant alpha's pheromones between the ages of 15-25).

The cast info so far:

Niklaus Heinrich: a rare Dominant Alpha in Ferndale, one of the only 20.

Lucien Sinclair: initially a Beta, who was forcibly turned into an Omega by constant pheromone exposure.

Hopefully, anyone confused has some clarity, but feel free to ask. I also added this info to ch 1 but it will reflect later i guess.
