Where We Come From ✅ [Complete]

Chapter 1: The Ark's Society

A/N: This is primarily a CLEXTAVIA FIC, however, because it has multiple relationships, CLEXTAVIA will be a somewhat slow, slow burn. However, once they come together, things change.

The Ark has been orbiting the ground for almost 97 years. It was supposed to be sustainable for 200 years, however, that was not the case. The year before descending to the ground, the Chief Engineer, Jake Griffin an omega along with his apprentice and young “shadow”, Ashley “Ash” Kane, 18 years old omega and daughter of Marcus and Rose Kane, both Ark Councillors discovered that the life support systems of the Ark were failing. At the rate the oxygen is depleting, they have approximately one year and six months of oxygen left. A little after a year of their discovery, 100 juvenile delinquents and 1 Ark Guard Cadet are sent to the ground in order to verify if the ground is survivable. What they find will change the Ark’s history and life.

**********************************

The Ark has an approximate population of 2659 which comprises 55% omega, 30% beta and 15% alpha including Purebred alphas. Due to the high percentage of omegas, the council had decided many decades ago that a mated couple could only have one child. The reason for such a discrepancy in the ark was simple. The alpha population had to be kept at a minimum especially the Purebred alphas because alphas by nature are the most aggressive, possessive persons in the ark. Alphas caused destruction and mayhem and in space, when an alpha was aggressive, they became violent, often causing days of repairs that lead to use of resources that could otherwise have been used for other more important things. For this reason, the Council highly encouraged an omega/beta pairing although an alpha/omega pairing was also accepted but in limited numbers. As for Purebred Alphas, well they could only be mated to Purebred Omegas. Only the elite class made up of the Chancellor, the Ark Council and high-ranking professionals such as doctors, engineers, scientists and high-ranking guards can be Purebred alphas or omegas. The reason for this was because the early elite alphas wanted to differentiate themselves from the other alphas so they started isolating their alpha DNA and rigorously enhancing it. A few generations later the Purebred alphas are stronger and more aggressive and can change their physical features. When they’re irritated or annoyed and want to show dominance the irises of their eyes change colour; it forms a blue ring around them and their fingernails grow longer. Their voice also changes; it becomes deeper, huskier and their dominant pheromones are more pronounced. As for Purebred omegas, well, the only difference between them and normal omegas are their social status.

Omegas by nature are peaceful. They are the nurturers and love to give hugs and kisses; basically, they love to love. However, they are unique. Omegas are the only ones whose eyes will fully turn gold when they’re in heat. With their calming, soothing pheromones, omegas can put their mates and pups to sleep. However, when the pups grow up and find their mates, their pheromones do little to calm them down. When omegas feel threatened or their pups or family members are threatened, they change their physical features. Just like a Purebred alpha, their irises can change colour; however instead of blue, their irises are surrounded by a gold ring. Their fingernails grow longer and sharper and their canines extend. Their omega pheromones that are usually calming turn aggressive and their sweet-smelling scents turn to a spicy smell similar to pepper spray that causes their attacker’s eyes to burn and they start coughing. It’s a defensive mode that they produce to evade their attackers so it’s not often that this occurs since by nature omegas are nurturers and prefer to express love rather than aggression.

Betas are the peacekeepers of the Ark’s society. They are mostly in the fields of medicine and security among others. A female beta, doesn’t possess the calming pheromones that omegas do but they do have a beautiful voice that calms their pups and mates. For this reason, female betas often enjoy singing and dancing much more than others.
