This story was driven by a desire to see more Omega/Alpha stories on this platform. If you're not a fan of dominance, submission, and reluctance, then this story is not for you. If you're a fan of Addison Cain, ReckingBall's Poison Ivy series, or Omegaverse in general, then this story is for you.
If you're not familiar with the Omegaverse, I suggest Googling it beforehand.
Finally, this is my first attempt at writing so please be kind. All characters over the age 18.
"I hate these damn suppressants. I want to scent her before choosing." Once again, the man behind me lifted my hair and inhaled deeply, as if my scent had magically appeared in the intervening seconds. With a terse, frustrated growl, he released my hair.
"We understand your frustration," Mistress Beauchamp calmly replied, "but of course the suppressants are for your benefit. That way her first time will be with you."
The woman's ability to remain calm in the face of an Alpha growl impressed me. Even with such a low, short growl, the hair on my arms had prickled and my breathing had quickened. But then again, Mistress Beauchamp dealt with Alphas every day.
"You can guarantee she has yet to experience heat?"
"All of our charges are identified by the mandatory DNA testing at age 12. Upon arriving at the facility, they are immediately put on hormone suppressants, which continue until they are chosen by an Alpha. Whichever Omega you choose - her first heat will be with you."
The man stepped in front of me, grabbed my chin, and tilted it up. "Look at me," he commanded. I wanted to disobey, to show this arrogant Alpha that I wouldn't be his obedient little plaything. But I was not immune to my Omega instincts. I quickly lifted my eyes. His eyes pierced mine. Could he see the resistance brimming there?
With an arrogant smile, he spoke again, this time to me. "I can't wait to hear you begging for my cock."
Fat chance of that.
But I knew what happened to Omegas in estrous, knew the stories my sisters had whispered in the dark after lights out. Not my own sister, I thought bitterly. But my sisters-in-arms at this Omega training camp.
The man wrenched his eyes back towards Mistress Beauchamp. "I can't try her out?"
Mistress Beauchamp's eyes narrowed. "We are not one of those schools, General. We pride ourselves on producing Omegas of quality and class."
The unspoken words of her response were clear. Not like
those
schools, where Omegas were treated little better than whores. Where any Alpha could "try out" an Omega, as long as they had high enough rank. I shivered at the thought, and the General's gaze returned to me. "Speak," he ordered.
I knew the expected response.
I hope this Omega pleases you, Sir.
The perfect submissive, simpering, brainless response.
"Why me?"
Only two words, but the General tightened his grip on my chin. "You're an Omega," he sneered. "Do I need another reason?"
I held his gaze for a few more moments. His eyes narrowed at my small but meaningful resistance. It was all I could manage before giving in to my instincts, dropping my eyes to the floor.
"No, Sir."
At that, the General dropped my chin and turned to Mistress Beauchamp. "I'll take her."
"Wonderful." Mistress Beauchamp clapped her hands together. "I'm sure she will be the perfect Omega for you. If you would return to the foyer," she nodded to the door on her left, "we have a few papers for you to sign before this Omega is legally yours. Meanwhile, I'll prepare her for the Binding Ceremony tomorrow."
Even after seven years in this "school" -- and I used the term sarcastically -- I couldn't stand the way they referred to me by my dynamic only. As if I were only an Omega, nothing more. I guess to him I was. The Binding Ceremony tomorrow would cement my status as the General's property. I had seen enough of my sisters go through it: Standing next to an Alpha in a white dress, particularly small- and diminutive-looking when compared to an Alpha's hulking form. Flanked by my perfect Omega mother and my stoic Alpha father.
I resisted the temptation to sneer. I certainly didn't get my resistance from her mother, who endorsed Omega ideals with the fervor of a brainwashed disciple.
I belong to my Alpha. I will obey my Alpha. I will take my Alpha's knot with a fucking smile as he mindlessly ruts his aggression into me.
Okay, technically the last one wasn't an Omega beatitude, but it summed up my feelings on the matter. No, I had not learned my resistance from my mother, but rather from my sister. From her I had learned that Omegas are more than a pretty face and a tight cunt, that I could have thoughts and feelings about something other than my Alpha. But that was before Moira had ran away. Since then, I had navigated this Omega hellhole alone.
"Congratulations." Mistress Beauchamp's voice snapped me out of my thoughts. "You have been Chosen by a particularly high-ranking Alpha. This is the highest possible honor an Omega can hope to achieve. Once he marks you, you can finally fulfill your ultimate purpose - to serve your Alpha and bear his children."
And become a prized breeding mare,
I added silently. But the Mistress, oblivious to my silent resistance, was already leading me out of the Viewing Room and into the Salon, where a team of Mistresses was waiting.

Hours later, I plopped into my seat in the Dining Hall, letting my posture sag as I began to play with my food. Tonight the Mistresses had handed me a special tray, different from the one my sisters received. I knew the difference: My food was no longer laced with the chemical suppressants used to inhibit estrous. The idea triggered a tiny spark of fear. I hated my Omega instincts and dreaded the three-to-four days when I would be a slave to them, when my insides would automatically produce puddles of that treacherous slick. When I would -- as the General had crassly stated -- beg for cock. Whether I liked it or not, I would enter heat soon.
"Alessia!" Pearl called out, setting her tray beside mine. She was followed by my other Omega sisters. "We heard the bad news," she whispered. "How did the Final Sessions go?"
I refused to let my last night with my sisters be marred by the knowledge of what was to come. "Do I look especially beautiful to you?" I responded with a teasing grin, jokingly tossing my hair over my shoulder. "I should, after the hours of primping I went through. I thought our weekly visits to the Salon were bad enough." I lowered my voice. "Did you know that they remove almost all your hair, down there? All I have left is a tiny patch."
"I heard that from Serena," chimed Sophia. "She couldn't wait to fill us all in the details after she was Chosen. Did the Mistresses quiz you too?"
"Yep," I responded. "One final review session to make sure I'm ready to be the perfect fucking Omega. And unfortunately I mean that literally."
"Language!" Pearl hissed under her breath, with a sharp glance to the front of the Dining Hall, where the Mistresses were seated. "You don't want to be disciplined right before the Binding Ceremony. You know they can do it without leaving a mark."
"Wouldn't want to be anything but pristine for the bloody fucking General," I muttered under my breath.
But I froze when one of the Mistresses stood up from her chair and ambled towards our table.
Shit, they couldn't hear me, could they?
Pearl was right -- the Mistresses were creative in their means of disciplines, as I knew well.
The conversation around their table fell to a quiet hush as the Mistress approached. I felt a sharp, strong tug on my shoulders.
"Shoulders back and spine straight," the Mistress reprimanded. "Now that you've been Chosen, it's more important than ever to follow your training. You wouldn't want to disappoint your new Alpha. We've trained you better than this."
Indeed, over the past seven years, the Mistresses -- all Beta -- had extensively trained my fellow Omegas and I in deportment, grace, and etiquette, so that we could better serve our Alpha when we were eventually Chosen. All Omegas were required to attend the state-sponsored Omega "schools" for such training. In theory, the schools protected the supposedly weaker dynamic from errant Alphas and Betas. In reality, the schools sequestered the increasingly rare Omegas and raised us like cattle to be given to high-ranking, wealthy Alphas.
But even knowing that, I couldn't avoid the schools. Rumor had it that delinquent Omegas -- those who hid their dynamic or didn't attend the training schools -- were sent to cheap whore houses, where they developed bedsores from all the time they spent on their backs. For all I knew, Moira had been found and sent to one of those places. I tried not to think about it.
"Are you ready for your Binding Ceremony tomorrow, Alessia?" the Mistress asked. Another thing I tried not to think about. "You are a lucky Omega to have been Chosen by the General. I admit we were worried when you first arrived -- you had quite the little defiant streak." The Mistress chuckled lightly, as if it was a joke enjoyed all around. "But in the end we straightened you out. Thank God you didn't end up like that rebellious sister of yours."
I didn't realize I was shaking until Pearl laid a hand across my arm. With that, I moved my hands under the table and clenched my fists.
In and out. Don't react.
"After all," the Mistress continued with a smile, "being Omega is a privilege."
