Living in a world where everyone had a so-called second gender.
Alphas were usually leaders, rich and highly skilled from birth. Betas were the ones who supported Alphas they were considered to be the normal. Then there were Omegas. It was said that Omegas were only good for giving birth. They were weak, and without a life or soul mate, they couldn’t live on.
Ever since Omegas became so rare, there were these so called, Collectors who would kidnap or pursue Omegas. Collectors would sell them to Alphas or anyone who would spend money.
Omegas had heat. Heat is when an Omega would give off such a strong scent that only Alphas would be able to smell. During the heat it is an opportunity for the Alpha to mark the Omega as their own and there is a lot higher chance that they would get pregnant. When an Alpha smells the scent of an Omega in heat, their instincts come out and the only thing in their mind is to breed.
In this kind of world, it was no question that Geralt was an Alpha. But Geralt wasn’t rich, he grew up to be a skilled killer and a great leader. He was promised an Omega at a young age. His very first job was to kill the King’s ally, and when he had done that, the king promised him an Omega. This was when Geralt truly learned about the second gender.
The King couldn’t keep his promise. Omegas were said to have gone extinct.
Geralt really didn’t care as he moved on with his life. He met Jaskier, Yennefer and Ciri. And as the years passed, Geralt was alone once again. Yennefer had moved on with a man, Ciri found herself someone as well and Jaskier, well he didn’t change much and still looked for trouble wherever he went.
And one night he stumbled upon a lake.
He had seen many beautiful lakes, but this one, it seemed special somehow.
Geralt let Roach roam while he watched as the moon lit the water. The scene in front of him was so fascinating Geralt nearly forgot to collect wood and build a fire. And once he finally did, he began his routine and made dinner for himself.
Once he was done eating, he noticed the moon was even higher up in the sky and the little pond looked even more breath-taking. If he didn’t know he would say it had magic.
Geralt slowly fell asleep. Even his sharp senses didn’t detect the much smaller frame that slowly emerged from the woods and went to the water. Geralt was rather light sleeper, his senses woke him whenever something happened so he could protect himself. Maybe deep down he knew the person didn’t want to hurt him and that’s why he didn’t woke up. Not even when the person walked closer to him and took a long moment to observe him.
Geralt woke up in the morning. He noticed someone sitting right next to him, the person was talking to his horse.
Geralt jumped up, grabbing his sword, pointing at the stranger.
You didn’t pay must mind to the Witcher, his horse was much more fascinating for you.
“So, which one do you prefer apples or carrots?” you had probably the best conversation with the horse. “I see. I like apples more. No, he’s fine. But he needs to calm down.” you said looking at Geralt. As soon as you looked into his eyes, you knew you were right. And Geralt felt it too.
“How’s this possible? I thought all Omegas were dead.”
“Well not me.”
You kept on looking into his eyes, Geralt’s eyes grew twice in size when he realized what was happening.
You are his soulmate. The one he will bond with, the one destiny gave him.
“No. This-No.”
“You can’t refuse it. If you won’t accept me, I will have no purpose in life!” you said when he began to shake his head, fear overcoming you. “You know what happens to us if our soulmates reject us don’t you?”
Geralt was aware of the fact that Omegas would most likely commit suicide after their partner rejects them. Since an Omega’s purpose is to be with their Alpha, if the Alpha rejects them, their life becomes pointless.
