Being born into one of the Prides is a tricky thing. To fit in, you must look a certain way, be a certain thing, you can't just be anything you want. If they find any kind of fault in you, then you'd better pray to the gods that you'll survive and find a way out because they will tear you apart and try to make you into what they believe is perfection. If they can't, then they will either kill you or make you wish they did.
Zion Catoire was born into the Catoire family, the fifth son. His parents, Thaddeus and Talitha, were beyond excited to meet him when he was born as he would be the last child they would ever bear before they both reached the age where they would not be able to bring any more children into the world. The Catoire family was known for their beauty and their unbroken lineage of Alphas. No Catoire was ever born as any other rank, that is, until Zion. Zion was the first and only Catoire born as a non-Alpha, and to make matters worse, he was born an Omega.
Because of that, his parents hid him, telling everyone that he had died in childbirth. But living in the Prides, there is one finite rule, there's no such thing as privacy. His parents knew that and even though they took every precaution, like having him be raised in solitude by a lowly servant and never allowing him to step one claw outside their home, it was only a matter of time until the Pride learned of him. So they made a choice, one that would either save them from the supposed humiliation of the Pride turning on them for their little secret or become their worst nightmare incarnate. Who knows?
