Prologue
The Alphas, Omegas and Betas, are the personified treasure of each country, and the rarest secondary gender, the Enigma. They all are the basis of social rankings and a significant issue in the society. However, Enigmas are different.
Enigmas are recognized as the founder of the human civilization. Thousands of years ago, They walked the continents with average humans, and because of their supernatural abilities transcending the normal human nature, they were able to establish a civilized world.
They have unique physical characteristics that are still observed to this day;
Violet eyes that turns yellow when they are in heat
An average height of 6 foot and 2 inches, their bodies are like a well-sculpted statue, the epitome of perfection
And a well define delicate facial features where in males are comparable to the beauty of a female. This is why normal humans would consider them as the descendants of god and the peak of humanity.
The relationship of Enigmas with normal humans was considered peaceful and harmonious. Since the physiology of Enigmas are different to that of a normal human, mating was forbidden between species, because only an Enigma can handle another Enigma's estrus. That was the only rule that the Enigmas created in order to keep themselves from hurting the vulnerable humans and the purity of their blood Intact. But what is a rule, when someone breaks it?
Enigmas started mating with humans due to their primal urge rooting from their blooming fondness towards average humans.
The evolving relation resulted into a new era of hybrids; Alpha and Omegas, the offsprings from both an Enigma and a normal female human. These hybrids born as either male or female, were given the capability to conceive a child. Their nature are similar to Enigmas but cannot be compared.
The increasing population of hybrids and the developing fear of humans towards Enigmas, drove their interspecies bond into ruins. Many females died from mating with an Enigma, and even males were no longer an exemption.
The Enigmas decided to isolate themselves, and after hundreds of years, their population significantly decreased almost as if they are at the brink of extinction. Probably because some humans rebelled and killed them. Today, only about 53 Enigmas are known to exist around the globe, and they are the basis of a country's power and success.
The average humans became resistant to pheromones from Enigmas and hybrids. Currently, they are known as Betas of the new world, unable to feel any stimulating pheromones, with only females capable of impregnation. They are the least preferred secondary gender, but has the highest population.
As innocent and naive as I was back then, I dreamed and prayed that I will be recognized as an Enigma or at least a dominant Alpha---- but I was born a Beta. A Beta trapped in the palm of a world reknown Enigma. It is as if history will repeat again, but I think it would be different this time.
