What do you mean?❤
Selene sighs in my mind, a little huff that brings a
picture to my mind’s eye of her resting her chin on her front paws. I miss her.
You are not an omega, she finally says. Omegas don’t exist.
I tilt my head. It isn’t that I don’t believe Selene, it’s just that… well, I mean, how do omegas not exist? All shifters have ranks, once they come into adulthood.
Well–I never got a rank, because I didn’t have a rank. But everyone else has one.
Selene growls. Omegas were created for the pleasure of the alphas of old, who wanted nothing more than to breed and dominate. It was a different time.
I talk out loud, because I’m giving myself a headache by thinking too hard at her. “What about the ‘true omegas‘ they’re talking about?”

38 Ava: Challenging Common Knowledge
There is no true omega. There are only shifters with powerful heat cycles. Some of them were known to breed strong alpha pups. Wolves and humans both tend toward the superstitious.
Powerful heat cycles come to powerful she–wolves. It has nothing to do with their arbitrary rankings.
I rub my eyes in frustration. It isn’t that I’m not understanding the words she’s saying; it’s just that nothing is making sense in my head, like we’re speaking of a foreign land.
“So they just made up this entire thing, because some strong wolf got really horny during heat?”
Yes.
“How does that even make sense?”
All of these ranks are for human ego. Alphas have always existed, though we did not have a word for them. Even strong betas can be alphas. It isn’t a birthright, but a matter of strength and leadership. Strong wolves lead the pack. Weak wolves follow. It isn’t rocket science.
I groan, resting my forehead on my hand as Selene
