Chapter 3: 02 | The Club
Human beings were categorized into six genders—Male Alpha, Female Alpha, Male Beta, Female Beta, Male Omega, and Female Omega.
Alphas were the top genders and the leaders of society. This was because they were naturally more athletic, intelligent, and generally 'outstanding' in comparison to Betas and Omegas. Alphas also made up thirty percent of humanity's population.
Betas were the most common gender, taking up fifty percent of humanity's population.
Omegas stood at nineteen percent of humanity's population, being more delicate and weaker than both Alphas and Betas.
Alphas and Omegas were biologically different from Betas, in the sense that they could emit pheromones. Pheromones were a very vital part of being an Alpha or an Omega.
Pheromones determined how dominating and powerful one was as an Alpha. For an Omega, they determined how attractive and fertile one was.
Those who lacked pronounced pheromones were grouped as 'Recessive'. And those with imposing pheromones were tagged 'Dominant'.
Other than these two groups, there was a small population of Alphas and Omegas who were said to have 'Extremely Dominant Pheromones.' They made up one percent of humanity's population.
Winter Dumont was among that one percent. From a young age, Winter manifested as an Extremely Dominant Alpha. Ever since he manifested, everything in his life became incredibly easy for him.
School, sports, socializing; there was nothing fun for him anymore. With the snap of a finger, he could do and get anything. What was the fun in such a thing?
"Winter, your smile is breaking." Someone whispered beside Winter.
The latter glanced at the person and smiled even harder. As the 'Sunshine Prince' of Chestfield University, it was Winter's duty to smile at all times and emit a cordial aura.
But today, he was running out of fucks to give for his reputation.
"When the fuck is this club meeting going to end?" Winter asked his friend, Logan Turner, with a smile on his face.
Though his tone was incredibly terrifying, the smile on Winter's face was unnaturally endearing.
"I-I don't know. Just hold on a sec." Logan said to Winter, using a panicked tone.
He had forced Winter to sign up for the Empowerment club along with him for support, so that he would get the opportunity to grow close to his crush, who was the president of the club.
Today, which marked the first day that he and Winter attended a club meeting, turned out to drag on because some important member of the club was running late.
The meeting should have ended twenty minutes ago, but because of said important member, everyone was asked to wait.
Winter was running out of patience. The Omegas in the club were getting too friendly, and they kept on emitting pheromones to attract him.
As an Extremely Dominant Alpha, Winter was very sensitive to pheromones. It was only a matter of time before his self-restraint would run out and he would grab the first Omega he could hold onto, then mark them.
And doing such a thing would ruin the perfect reputation he had been building for himself in Chestfield for three years. So he had to compose himself.
"Okay, guys!" A cheerful voice sounded in the club room.
Everyone stopped their chattering to look at the owner of the voice who was standing at the center of the club room with his hands on his waist.
His average frame and height were in agreement to a Beta's body constitution, but his beautiful face made one debate if he was an Omega or a Beta.
His dyed pink hair was parted at the center, and he was wearing a silver septum ring on his nose. Though Winter found his appearance appealing, Logan had already called dibs on him.
"I just got a call from Blue. He'll be coming in any second now! Isn't that great!?" Adam exclaimed.
The members of the club broke into audible whispers after that.
"Fuck, so we've all been waiting for that asshole this entire time?"
"Not His Majesty the Ice King taking his sweet time to arrive while we, the peasants, wait obediently."
"That effing scumbag. He thinks he can come and go as he pleases in this club."
"Fuck this. I'm out of here."
"Ice King strikes again."
"I'm so pissed right now."
Winter wondered who this 'Ice King' was to have people so stirred up about his character.
A moment later, Winter's curiosity was sated as someone dashed into the clubroom, holding a stack of papers.
"I'm sorry for arriving late. There was an accident on my way here." The 'Ice King' excused.
Winter sat up straight on his chair. He instantly recognized the guy. They had met a few days earlier, and his group project partners had gotten cooked by him.
The Omega had earned Winter's interest that day. But Winter soon forgot about him as he couldn't find the Omega on social media. What were the odds that they would be attending the same university and be in the same club?
Winter thought that the heavens had sent their blessings to him.
Blue walked over to where Adam was standing and exchanged a few words with him. Winter didn't take his eyes off Blue during this time.
From his head, down to his legs, Winter found every part of Blue attractive. The latter was simply wearing a brown turtleneck with a pair of black pants, but his straight posture and elegant aura would make one think that he was dressed in a royal attire with a crown on his head.
"Okay, guys. I'm going to hand out the flyers for next week's Empowerment Convention." Blue announced.
He started to distribute the stack of papers in his hand to the members one by one. When he got to Winter, Blue didn't even spare a second glance at him before moving to the next person.
Winter's ego felt a little bruised. He was the type of person whom people could never help but repeatedly steal glances from after a first look.
But this Omega didn't even give him any face. How interesting…
Winter shifted his gaze to the flyer he was given and suddenly remembered the purpose of this club. It was an Empowerment club for Omegas.
In today's society, Omegas were always looked down on and glanced over due to the fact that most of them couldn't control their sexual urges or exercise self-restraint.
The purpose of this club was to stand against such beliefs and spread awareness of the fact that Omegas didn't need to feel ashamed of their biological constitution.
That explained why there were more Omegas in this club than Alphas or Betas. The population of the latter two was smaller in comparison. Most Alphas only joined this club so that they could find pretty Omegas to flirt with.
The Betas in the club were only around to feel among and pass time. Winter, himself, hadn't given much thought to the club since he joined to pose as a wingman for Logan.
But with the presence of a certain Omega who enticed him immensely, Winter wanted to give the club a chance and become an irreplaceable member of it.
