Cullen by no means had a troubled childhood, growing up in Russia, things were a little different however to his current surroundings. His mother and father had an understanding, but by no means did they share a relationship, they were a fling, or what was meant to be a fling and then she fell pregnant, out of lack of choice, the two were forced to mate or otherwise both would be cast out from their surprisingly highly respected families. Deciding to stay together, despite the lack of emotional connection, his household was a complicated one. There was no love, not between mother and father, not between parents and children, it was almost as if their dynamic was professional. The Roscoe children were given what they needed in order to survive but it was very rare that anything warmer was offered, maybe that was why both him and his siblings grew up the way they did, so disconnected from their feelings, unable to find attachments to other.
The only omega among a beta and two alphas, Cullen always worked extra hard in his younger years to win over his parents affection, but it never came and that was more difficult for him to understand than his brothers. He grew out of it eventually, however, and he soon came to the realisation that simply being used by alphas was his only possible chance at getting anywhere in life, there was no hope at a relationship in Cullen’s world. He left home to travel at twenty-one and hoping to get as far away from his parents as he could, he decided to head to America, the only place he could afford and an extremely cliché runaway spot. Upon arrival though, he realised that running away to a place so different from his own was not going to be easy. He had come from riches and while an omega with no love, his mother had ensured he had everything, out of mere smugness of appearance.
He had to fight for everything, literally everything and an omega alone in such a large city, he was taken advantage of more often than not, which resulted in many, many fights. Cullen knew how to protect himself but there were times when things went too far and one of those instances resulted in his admittance to hospital where he was placed in a medical induced coma to grant his body a chance to repair it. The male was vaguely aware of the fever that was on the rise before he lost all sight of the world. Somehow, in the midst of the crazy and panic, Cullen was moved to the safe haven that was the Omega clinic, protected by the pack members of Pack Abaven who are only hoping the boy will wake up soon, before they decide to let him go completely.
DO YOU DARE TO LOOK HIM IN THE EYE?
The fight that got him hospitalized was a result of his inability to care for others, there was someone who was attempting to be a constant, who cared for him, or rather, wanted to and Cullen refused to let them in, in the end, things just spiralled out of control and it had been Cullen to throw the first punch. The guy had tried to restrain him, but it made things worse, apparently even nice guys have a snapping point.
His grandparents, for lack of a better word, were insane. They were high maintenance and money and appearance were everything. They’d been aware of the relationship that sparked between his mother and father and had hoped the two would at least get along enough for an arranged marriage, when she fell pregnant it was mere luck and they threatened their children to stay together or lose everything. As Cullen and his brothers got older, they didn’t get any better, often greeting them with a smack over the head and an objection to how they looked or what they were doing. Cullen thought they were crazy bastards then and he still does now, barely caring for what happened to them when the Hot Flash broke out, or any of his family for that matter.
There were many things the Roscoe boys were taught, they were taught how to act appropriately, how to dress, how to manage themselves, and above all, they were taught how to be just as clever as one another. They are all smart, Cullen especially, always wanting to work that bit harder to diminish his status, not that it ever worked. It was his idea to learn to fight though and when he took up an array of martial arts, his parents had no objections, those fighting skills have definitely come in handy now.
