Chapter Text
Unlike omega and alpha which are rare in this world, beta consists more than 90% of the population. They have many contrasting features, such as lacking of hormones, scentless and is unaffected by omega's plus alpha's pheromones. Additionally, they don't have breeding cycle, namely going into rut and heat. They are neither submissive, dominant, possessive, adorable, protective and are separated from natural characteristics. Because they had their own persona. Which is why (M/N) preferred to be left as it is, inasmuch as he is one who never liked drama to begin with. Having both bodies is a distraction and a toll. It is annoying to hide your scent under your suit as well as keeping updated with your breeding cycle. Also the chemistry between meeting your fated pairs, which add unnecessary romance which will hinder your job as a hero.
(M/N) POV
I stretched my sore arms after coming back from another mission of catching a rogue. The busy hall is filled with many Spider-man chatting away with one another or is flying across the roof." In my office now, (M/N)", Miguel commanded through the electronic watch and it seems like there is no room for argument. It is a common meeting between the vice leader and leader after concluding my task. Of course usually I obey, considering I am a compliant person.
Making my way into the elevator which rises toward the last floor. Arriving on the top level where Miguel regularly hauls up in and welcomes myself through the large automatic door which opens itself." Hello (M/N)!", I nodded in acknowledgement at Lyla who was happy to see me. Glancing across the space, Miguel is already looking at me, which tells me that he had his expectation. He stomps forward in heavy footsteps as if he is in a rush. The distance soon decreases with Miguel right in front of me. His right claw grabbed my nape and pulled me toward him, simultaneously lowering himself until his nose was millimetres to my neck. It only requires a small whiff which alerts Miguel to morph his face into disgust. His retracted talon caresses roughly around where a mating gland possibly located in any omega's body. Though I am a beta so I was not born with one.
Hot breath fanning my exposed neck and Miguel's natural odour enter my nostrils, but is a weak aroma in beta's perspective. A hidden growl can be heard due to our approximation. This sort of unsuited behaviour began not too long ago when Miguel started to hover over my personal space and tend to leave small touches on my body. Fortunately, my physique is not sensitive like those omega, and this sort of contact is bearable at least. As in finishing his newly developed ritual, he withdraws his grasp. Even though he displays his famous emotionless facade which scream hassle, a beta cannot tell the satisfaction on the alpha change of pheromones.
" Don't let them put their scent on you again". I am incapable of registering what he is trying to convey and misunderstood that I must have smelled bad after a long shift of battle." I apologise, sir", I utter formally. Miguel gives one last glance filled with silent and uncomfortable long." You may leave", he dismissed afterward and I complied, turning my foot to depart.
By the time I entered the headquarter's hall, many spiders avoided me like a plague. This is another problem which started along with Miguel's behaviour. It is like I was a dangerous species which will hurt them if they approach me. Certainly, this incident makes me feel lonely, especially shunning by my own kind in spite of the fact that I have already been through this episode before. Still remembering when it first happened. When I strike a conversation, they spread their web and escape, taking one step closer, they run away with tails between their legs. Furthermore the revulsion gives the impression that they are offended, what's more the terror exhibited on their face. Something doesn't match, but I cannot put a finger on the phenomenon behind their avoidance. Even Jessica, who is a dependent friend, acts the same way as anybody else.
An unexpected force crashes onto my back, causing me to stumble forward and luckily balance myself." Sorry", I lowered my vision to spot a child wearing a darker spider uniform." It's fine", I said, brushing his apology aside and could tell he is new by one judgement." Umm, can I be frank?". His query piqued my interest and I allowed him to continue." Do you have an alpha mate by chance?". It indeed caught me off guard considering nobody dared to pose this topic with me." No", I truthfully denied." Really? Then why do you carry an alpha scent on you?".
" What does this kid mean?".
My mind went through many hypotheses regarding his words, moreover there is no point in him lying during our first encounter. Soon my brain halted on an answer which could crack the whole investigation about the recent weird activity occurring in my life." Tell me the scent. I'm a beta, so I wouldn't know". This time, I convey it nicely." Ooh, sorry! I thought you are an omega!", again, I don't mind his misunderstanding." You smell like. . . the alpha wanted you to be their", I stare confusingly at the new Spiderman who is explaining the scent attached on me." How do I phrase it. . . I think they are possessive over you. Like you can only carry their scent and are owned by them", the boy scrunches his nose due to the heavy hormones surrounding my body, the same impression many wore when looking at me.
As a beta, we are unable to determine what scent is since we have no such function, besides we are odourless. Only omega and alpha was born with it. This sort of behaviour is more befitting for alpha and omega couples. In view of the fact that there is no alpha who will scent a beta.
" Miguel, what have you done?".
" Miles!", a girly voice shouted from the distance. Both our heads rotated on the white-pink spider swinging near us, but quickly stopped at a distance when noticing me, probably the scent." Hey Gwen!", Miles happily went to the girl's side." I told you not to run off by yourself!", the blondie playfully smacked his forearm." But this place is fun!", Miles, the name which I learn, cheerfully chirps." Oh yeah, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Miles Morales!", he peeled his mask off, revealing his youthful face." (M/N). . . Thanks for telling me, boy", I give him my gratitude before strolling off.
3rd POV
" Do (M/N) have a toxic mate? Because it looks like the alpha will murder anyone if the scent got replaced", Gwen stares at the said person's drifting back, pitifully." Miles, a piece of warning, don't go near (M/N)", she briefs, since she has no clue how to explain it either. The first time she senses the hormones on (M/N), her instinct is alerting her the danger. All alpha and omega can read the aura clinging onto his whole physique.
Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine.
" Hey Gwen, you alright?", the golden-haired teen got dragged out from her daze thanks to Miles. Remembering the awful fragrance produced shivers all over her skin. Everyone knows not to touch what is already possessed, mainly that person is the leader of the Spider Society.
