The change had come quickly this time, almost violently so. Usually there was a few days buffer from Omega to Alpha, but... not this time. This time, it had him leaning against the fridge at the Avenger’s Tower, breathing hard, sweating as heat filled his head and his chest.
His teeth hurt from his fangs growing in length, and his body ached as his pheromones switched gears from “come get me” to “sic ‘em boy”. He didn’t mind being a rare dynamic; made things interesting, and he rarely had to bring it up as he tended not to linger anywhere long enough for people to witness a change.
But right now he knew he was entering dangerous territory. He swallowed thickly, trying to calm his racing heart, the cool metal of the fridge heavenly against his flushed face.
He knew his Rut was coming soon... and he only prayed he could find a partner before he ended up locked away with some random Omega who was too Heat-numb to properly consent. He knew first hand what it was like to be in a Heat... to wake up from a Heat regretting the Alpha you’d ended up with that night. After all... he’d presented as Omega, first.
When it came to light he was Gamma, it had frankly been a relief.
Though... he hadn’t satisfied his Omegan needs last cycle, so he knew the Rut was going to be a nasty one if he didn’t find someone. Hell, he might end up in a fight with some cocky Alpha if he didn’t find someone soon.
