Summary
It’s when her knees hit the ground that she realizes she’s been here before. She’s lived through this before, and she hated it just as much then as she does now. She knows what comes next.
With her body trembling and all the fight she had completely gone, she summons her sword and lifts it above her head, as an offering to Celine. The words she hates tumbling out of her mouth without her control.
“Do what you should’ve done a long time ago.” Rumi doesn’t dare to look up. At this point, she had already accepted it. She knew what had to happen. “Before I destroy what I swore to protect.”
This is the part she hates the most. The part she is never ready for. From behind the tree, Zoey and Mira reveal themselves. Woldo and Sinkal in hand.
“We see you for what you truly are,” Mira says. Her eyes red, her expression wicked and voice haunted.
“A mistake,” Zoey completes. Her voice is hers but not hers at all. It’s dark and dangerous. Unkind. Hurt. “A demon..."

Or Rumi has nightmares about that night and her girlfriends are worried.

Summary
As Zoey watched Rumi’s retreating form and heard the quiet thunk of her door shutting in the distance, she lasted a few minutes helping Mira pick up before something in the air changed. It was like heavy clouds descending after a bright, sunny day, and the maknae suddenly found herself tearing up as the emotions of the morning and the past few days truly caught up to her.
Mira, of course, noticed immediately. She set down the cups she was holding and paced forward to touch Zoey’s arm, brows knitted in worry. “Whoa, are you okay, Zo?”
It hit like a flood then, a dam breaking after too long holding back pressure. Zoey stumbled forward and collapsed into Mira’s arms with a hiccupping sob, hot tears streaming down her cheeks. “…We almost lost her,” she whispered, her voice cracking with horror and heartbreak. “Oh God, we almost lost our Rumi.”
-----------
In the days following saving the Honmoon, Zoey and Mira reflect after learning some troubling information from Rumi.

Summary
When humans presented their second gender it changed their life.
It made them fit into whatever box it shoved them in. But if they were unlucky they presented as a Beta.
There was honor in presenting as an Omega, the ability to make people burn the world for your favor. There was pride in being an alpha, to be able to protect and provide stability to those you took care of. There was nothing for a Beta.
They had no superhuman scent, they display none of the animal characteristic their counter parts did with the exception of there canines, something only they bore, it was a tell tale sign of what they were.
They couldn’t see the world the way Omegas and Alphas did. They saw it the same way a human would before their presentation. Empty, mundane.

Summary
Six years since Rumi disappeared off the face of the Earth.
Well, alright, maybe that was dramatic. Sure, she'd left with little warning, but there still was some. A short 10 minute conversation filled with yelling, screaming, cussing, and then she was gone. An uber. 3 suitcases, 2 eyes full of what Zoey remembered to be shame and pity, and one extremely broken family.
--OR--
The last thing married couple Zoey and Mira expected was a text from longtime ex and bandmate, Rumi.

Summary
“I’m disgusted by the fact that we’re already being shipped with them. If only the world knew what the Saja Boys really were…” Mira trailed off before speaking again, “I mean, imagine dating a demon. The thought makes me want to vomit.”
Rumi felt her heart drop at the sheer amount of disgust and vehemence in Mira’s voice.OR

Summary
Huntrix had been sleeping in the same bed since the Idol Awards. It wasn't a conversation or an agreement, it just happened every night now. They fell asleep in a tangle of limbs, and woke up the next morning all snuggled up together like they'd been doing it for years. They hadn't, for the record.

Summary
“We can talk later,” Mira whispered, settling herself on Rumi's other side and wrapping her arms around both of her girls. “Sleep now.”
Rumi didn't have any fight left in her. She just nodded, murmured “love you,” and slumped fully into Mira's protective embrace.

Summary
So mostly it seems like Rumi’s doing well. She wears her patterns openly, almost defiantly. She stops locking herself away in her room. When she wakes in the middle of the night, breathless and panicked from haunting dreams, she lets Zoey find her and guide her to Mira’s room so they can all crawl into bed together, Rumi sandwiched in the middle.
But there are some moments when she loses herself a little, when Zoey can see her teeth clench and her eyes glaze over. Moments when her breath shakes, and she presses her nails so deep into her palms that they come away bloody.
She won't talk to them when it happens.
(After the Honmoon is sealed, Rumi seeks out Celine one last time.)

Summary
Rumi has always been a bad beta. She knows this intrinsically, as if it’s a fact etched into her skin as permanently as her patterns.
It isn't for a lack of effort. She tries to be a good meditator, a strong glue to hold them all together. She tries to do all of the right things; she leaves food and blankets outside of their doors during ruts and handles it patiently when the alpha posturing gets out of control.
She tries, and she knows that it isn’t enough, because if it was, there wouldn’t be this awful chasm in her chest. The constantly underlying want that settles under her skin whenever she’s with Mira and Zoey, or even when she's without them for too long.
Betas aren’t supposed to want. They aren’t supposed to have this terrible aching feeling that something is missing.
OR:
Rumi presents late because of her demon blood.

Summary
There’s a buzz on her phone. God, what now? If Mira has to deal with fucking PR or social media right now, she might actually explode. But she pulls her phone out of her pocket, and her heart sinks in her chest.
No.“What is it?” Zoey asks.
“Celine texted. She says we need to get out to the compound now.” She looks up at Zoey, watches the way Zoey’s eyes flick back and forth with worry. “It’s Rumi.”

Summary
her and Celine holding hands, smiling under a tree. She’d worked on it in secret for days. Tried to make the colors perfect. Her version of Celine had no face—just a shape—but she thought that was funny, like a little inside joke.
Celine didn’t laugh.
She didn’t even comment. She just cleared the table without a word and tossed the drawing in the trash.
Later, Rumi dug it out. Folded it up. Hid it under her mattress like a crime.Because if there was one thing she understood, even at that age, it was this:
You are not meant to be seen.

“What the fuck.” She muttered.
There, half swallowed by a pile of oversized clothing was a child staring up at them with wide eyes. Two tiny black horns peeked out from tangled hair.

Summary
“That’s all demons do.” The way Jinu had looked at her had been lacerating. Furious with her for not understanding the truth, and furious with himself that it was the truth at all. “Feel.”
At the time, Rumi had scoffed, and dismissed the idea as just a demon's attempt to give himself a justification to be what he was. Demons were evil, pure and simple, with nothing more to it. But now, since the Honmoon was sealed, since all other demons were banished, and since Jinu sacrificed himself, she’s forced to shoulder that there isn’t a single other being left on the planet who understands what it means to feel so deeply that the world frays around you.
But Mira and Zoey are trying. God knows they’re trying.

Summary
This is what Rumi knows to be true: Zoey and Mira don’t want her.
Zoey and Mira don’t want her, and she does not want herself, and so she goes to the only other person who might.
(She always found herself jealous of euthanized dogs)
Or
As Zoey and Mira walk towards their impending doom, into Gwi-Ma's gaping maw, the entire world waits with bated breath for a hero. For someone to come with a song, a light in the dark, to save the day. But, no one does. And as destiny falls apart and fate screams in disapproval, the Honmoon reaches out to fix a cosmic error. Again, and again. No matter how many times it takes.

Summary
Rumi almost got caught.
Her patterns crawl and burn her skin hotter than ever, she could almost feel how close Mira and Zoey had been to seeing her for how she was. And yet here she was… Under their worried care as her patterns sparked violently to life.
At their mercy.She heard the door knob rattle, her heart felt like it stopped with time. Rumi’s door slamming had dragged the attention of the other two, and all at once she’d never felt her shame wash over her faster.
She’d made another mistake. And it was her own fault.
‘No…’
“Rumi..?” Zoey’s usually excitable voice sounded almost hesitant, her hand pressing on the door.
