Chapter Text
Presenting young wasn't easy. Not in world that was built around the hierarchy where alphas stood at the top and betas mearly filled in a role of support. A world so unfair that omegas were lower then the dirt that covers an old pair of boots.
Of course most children didn’t feel the effects of this until they themselves had presented. Especially those who happen to have lived in the countryside and where everyone around were mostly betas. Assuming to present as anything else wouldn't even cross most minds.
Presenting as an Alpha in general was rare much less an omega. The population of both Alphas and Omegas were dwindling and the a child of betas presenting as anything other then beta was basically unheard of.
In the world, alphas took center stage. If you wanted to find an alpha highly sought out positions were where you'd find them. With alphas dominating at the top of all major industries as well as a majority of major sports, betas had a considerably hard time just trying to match up to alphas when aiming for the top.
In the world of sports many alphas found fame. It was definitely easier to play pro ball as an Alpha. That being the case hard work still took many betas to the grand stage.
Alpha festivals. Every year in various places around the world a large festival honoring alphas were held. Normal fevival events took place however all the alphas of age would take center attention. The star events were the barbaric traditions of the mating run. Only it was stripped down to alphas fighting for the chance for first pick of select omegas.
People from all over would travel just to partake in the activities.
Those select high bred omegas would make an appearance, some full of hope of being picked as a mate for an alpha and others the dread that came along with being treated as a commodity. Reguardless of wether this was the only way to escape the fate of being used as a breeding tool.(by many)
They'd also wrangle in omegas off the streets to use as a showcase of what not to be.
Events that drew in large crounds also drew in large problems. That being primarily drunk old men and the amount of them increased every year. Both beta with a complex and alphas that belived everything should be handed to them. The ones just stupid enough to believe status could make every problem go away. Though for most it might as well be true.
Omega rights activists were few and far between.Though they were growing by number everyday. They often operated as clinics that welcomed all and provided nessasary shelter. They would provid shelter to help single parents, no questions asked. Especially when it was impossible to get any legal assistance from the government.
