being an omega has its faults. any businesses avoid hiring them-
they’re seen as “risk factors” because of rut or heat cycles.
they’re stereotyped as aggressive (alphas) or unstable (omegas). some workplaces require expensive “cycle documentation,” making employment even harder. betas and regular humans typically dominate the professional workforce, rendering alphas and omegas jobless. omega scent is naturally softer, sweeter, or calming (but can vary by person).
during heat, their scent intensifies dramatically, becoming almost intoxicating to alphas.
betas and humans notice it, but it affects them less. there’s no “fated mates,” but biology can intensify emotions dramatically. omegas are less likely to be put on suppressants and scent blockers than alphas. omegas tend to be smaller in build and frame. a tall omega is relatively rare.
omegas are another human sub-type, biologically distinct but fully human — not werewolves.
like alphas, they have wolf-coded instincts and an internal “wolf” that shapes their behavior and senses, but they remain physically human. they’re biologically human but possess wolf-like instincts, behaviors, and internal “wolves” that influence their temperament. their traits are genetic: omegas can reproduce with regular humans, and the child may inherit an inner wolf of any type. cross-breeding is only possible during an omegas heat, a cyclical physiological state where their fertility and instincts spike.the trait can be dominant or recessive. even recessive carriers might later produce this human sub type. omegas are often identifiable from birth due to a distinct scent and visible scent glands, which humans without the trait don’t have. hey don’t shapeshift or transform; instead, they’re a human variation with heightened senses, instincts, and social dynamics.
