Arthur knew from the moment he hit puberty that he was an omega. He could feel his body betray him as he start to present. He quickly started on suppressing pills. Arthur was determined not to end up used and discarded like other omegas. He would run from that fate, but not fast enough.

That was until he met Callum. Callum promised Artie the world. After they graduated high school they got married. Things quickly soured. Callum prevented Artie from entering college or getting a job. After ten years of trying Artie was no longer able to enter in heats. Doctors whispered behind closed doors. Infertile.

Callum’s pretending to care quickly stopped. The alpha started to pull away, staying at work later and later. Artie caught Callum cheating, something in him broke. Artie divorced his husband swiftly after. He prayed nightly for a new mate, an omega. Someone that would truly understand him.

Artie sighed as the hostess called his name. He snuffed his cigarette out under his shoe in the alley. Readying himself to greet yet another table.

He stepped into the shitty dinner. His eyes landing on the new table. He plastered a smile on his face and approached. A scent far too sweet to be anything but another omega tickled Arthur’s nose. The all too familiar sensation of a bond blooming fills his chest. The moon goddess had actually answered his prayers.
