Touch, taste, sound, smell, sight. Each sense holds a purpose, a specific job, that makes living easier or harder to bare. It is an alpha's responsibility to hone these senses within their partners and control them so their omega will live a happy life. However, if an omega looses trust within their partner, they are reduced back into a plain mass of flesh and bone, void without feeling.
Alec Sinew, ex father and husband, has recently lost his son due to a severe fever and neglect. Everyday is dull, boring, he feels as if he has no purpose for living. Every breath taken is like a shallow intake of air, whatever he eats settles rock hard in his stomach and hardens like cement. To reach deep inside and find love...is impossible.
Now living in a barely tolerated, one bedroom apartment, Alec decides that it is time to get help; he signs up for a special sense honing specialty facility, where he will be assigned an alpha to take care of him, and possibly mate once again. The journey ahead of him will be difficult and disastrous, there is no telling what could happen. But Alec is tired of living in a void. He wants to get better.
The world only reigns in Betas, the middle in between an Alpha and Omega, someone who provides children with the adequate amount of treatments and prescriptions in medications, making them fertile. That is how the world procreated and mutated into just this kind of gender.
Alphas and Omegas were a myth.
Normal jobs, normal people, normal life, great friends. That's what you want. But of course, there's always a needle somewhere that pokes and doesn't stop. Yours was called Eddie Munson.
