I walked into the house at about 12:30. Almost 3 hours earlier the  normal. Dad would be disappointed if he knew I was home so early, so I just head up to our room. He's probably still out in the garden anyway.

I flop on my bed and try not to cry again. It took me about 45 minutes to calm down at the stop sign then a car came up behind me so I had to go.

OK, Wolf guy... or girl, look, I'm sorry but I really don't want to get stuck like Dad. I don't think I can handle being treated like that by some who I love but doesn't love me back.

I get no response

Hello?

Nothing. Laying down on my bed I let out a frustrated sigh. I hate it when it ignores me. Granted I kind of deserve it but still. It shouldn't have gone behind my back like that! Or rather our back I guess.

Just then the door opens and in walks Dad, looking shocked.

"Ummm... shouldn't you still be at school?" He asks looking unsure. I just shrug, not wanting to talk about it.

"Tae, what's wrong." He asks has me and sits on the edge of the bed. I shake my head. I don't want to talk about it because then ill have to think about it and then I'll cry. There is nothing I hate more then crying and today alone I've already met my quota for the next ten years.

"Taehyung, you can talk to me. You know this."  He says quietly as he lays down beside me and wraps his arms around me like he used to when I was little.

I take a deep breath and decided that's he's gonna find out sooner ot later.

"They caught me. You were right."

"Then why are you here and not with them." He asks, and I tell him all that happened from the beanie to the parking lot to the stop sign.

"Oh baby." He coos as he pulls me into his chest.

I feel like such an omega right now, being wrapped in my beta Dad's arms but I don't care. I'm probably sending all kinds of distress calls to my mates over our connection but I can't help it. Since we aren't bonded and the connection is very weak they probably don't notice these things as much as I do. An alphas job is primarily to protect his mates and their families since packs aren't much of a structure used these days. Normally an omegas job is to care for the young ones, their mates, and the home, unless you're Jennie and leave the hard work to your beta. Not to mention the fact that she wanted nothing to do with raising me and once again left it to her lovely beta Kim Seokjin. That's brings me to betas. Betas main roll is to be the emotional support for their mates and to balance them out. Since alphas and Omegas are on opposite sides of the spectrum they need someone in the middle to help bridge the gap. Because of this betas can tell how their mates are felling at all times instead of just the extremes and are capable of both gently caring for a distressed Omega when a strong alpha can simply overpower their senses and set them off even more, and completely defuseing a raging pissed off alpha bomb when and Omega is to weak. Or when an alpha is injured for what ever reason its the betas job to step up and protect their mates. In a way its like a big circle, you get what you give. Don't get me wrong alphas and Omegas can sense there mates emotions too, just on a much weaker scale.

But some time long ago some asshole alpha decided that it was both intrusive and offensive that betas could feel what their mates were feeling, take better care of Omega's, and that they could match strengths with an alpha in extremely cases, thus leading to the utter hatred to the entire beta population which then lead to enslavement, genocide, and a bunch of other fun stuff I don't want to talk about. Thankfully most people don't follow those old ideals and have gladly welcomed betas back into society, but its just my luck to be stuck with two people who don't as my biological parents.
