Summary
Back in your home village, betas were often regarded as unmateable—half-formed things left out of Cerces and Mnestia's blessings of perfect union. They could not carry on family lineage like alphas, nor were they fertile enough to command a bride price the way omegas did. They could not scent, could not bond, and were therefore regarded as socially worthless. You'd quickly learned not to expect or desire otherwise.
Or, on the journey to Loukas, an encounter with one of Phagousa's last Soul-Purifying Springs causes everything to go sideways for you and Phainon—one of the most desirable alphas in Okhema.
