Beta... Or Not

Lance's P.O.V.
I stand in front of my bathroom cabinet, looking at my suppressants. Maybe I should stop taking them? Maybe the team would be accepting of me, maybe they'll support me and it'll bring us closer?

No that's stupid, no one wants an omega on their team. They don't have time for my cuddling, or nesting, or scenting or anything like that. It's why omegas have been at the bottom of society for thousands of years...

I'm supposed to be convincing everyone I'm a beta, I don't go so drastic at to try and force my body to change into a betas, I just use suppressants and scent blockers to hide my scent. I also can't act like an omega, meaning no cuddles, no scenting, no nesting, no mate. If I had a mate they would find out if we bonded, plus I don't want to lie to my mate.

For now I'll just continue keeping up the act of a beta. Nobody knows of my secondary gender, not even Hunk, especially not Shiro or Keith the two alphas on our team. If they found out they'd either kick me off the team, or think I'm expecting them to mate me.

I mean I do like them, a lot but they're dating each other so I really have no chance. That's ok though, as long as I can be around them and the team I'm happy. I'll just continue hide my secondary gender, that'll have to work for now.

I quickly swallow my pills and stick on some scent blockers, then I spray myself with scent disguiser and put on my black body suit and armour. The princess has a day of trading for us planned, I know I shouldn't be training as hard as I do, my suppressants make me sick and weaker, but maybe I can build that strength back up.

I walk out of my room to the kitchen where Hunk has breakfast set up. I grab my plate, sit next to Hunk and begin to eat. I see out of the corner of my eye, Shiro and Keith whispering about something and glancing towards me, oh god are my scent blockers or suppressants not working?

If they aren't they don't say anything about it, in fact they don't talk to me for the entirety of breakfast. It hurts but I don't expect them to, why would they bother with me when they have each other?

"Pidge." Coran says entering the room with his screen up "Your statistics and vitals are changing rapidly, are you ok?"

"What do you mean?" She asks confused

"You vitals are mirroring Hunk's, with a few exceptions." Coran explains "There's been a massive drop in aggressive or assertive feelings as well."

"Oh, ohhhhh!" Pidge says with an expression of realisation

"Pidge are you presenting?" Hunk asks

"Yeah I think so, I must be a beta." Pidge says with a smile

"Congratulations!" Hunk says happily

Everyone remains secondary gender neutral up until around 14-16, after that we present. Betas are closer to alphas on the scale of omega to alpha, meaning if there are no alphas or omegas around in a certain place or society they'll change their dynamic without much pain or effort. It's different for alphas and omegas to change.

Alphas don't usually change at all, they have no reason to as there has always been betas and omegas. Alphas are at the top of society, why would they change? Omegas are a completely different story. Omegas have a history of changing into betas, or 'breaking' due to poor treatment. Apparently it's a painful scary process, one I never want to go through with.

"So I guess I'm a beta if I'm mirroring Hunk?" Pidge says "That's such a relief."

"How so?" Shiro asks

"Well we already have two alphas." Pidge says pointing at Keith and Shiro "So it could be difficult if we suddenly had three alphas."

"True." I say quietly
