Summary
Once upon a time, omegas were the heart of the pack, and society revolved around the queen. Then the alphas rose and threw down the omegas, keeping the lifebearers and priests chained, and killing any who matured into queens, eliminating the threat to the new world order. Over time, the complexity of status was lost, and the world is dominated by a hierarchy of alphas, ignored betas, and chained omegas."
Some families kept to the old ways, hiding and protecting their queens, but by and large, they were discovered and eliminated by the hunt/kill packs of the alphas. Eventually, only the Carbonells remained, a bare handful of true alphas and betas who held onto the old ways, but even they died out when their last scion, Maria Carbonell, married Howard Stark.
Now, the only legacy left of the Carbonells is Toni Stark, a product of an unwanted but necessary marriage, and a true queen trying to keep her head down and survive as long as she can. But every shifter needs a pack, and every queen needs a court, the Sentinels and Primes that keep her safe as she keeps the community together.
And it starts with a scent on the breeze.
