How Do Betas Work? - A non-comprehensive guide to my beliefs on betas because I think they can be interesting

Betas are often given a whole lot of shit in the Omegaverse as being played as normal people, not given any interesting plots, and so no one headcanons anyone as a beta because no one has ideas. Here's my view on betas and how you can incorporate them into your next Omegaverse build.

PERSONALITIES

Betas work in between alphas and omegas. Betas are, commonly, the balancer of the space they work in, and shift to accommodate what is needed from their environment. They can often be people of dualities, as their cycles do not always line up with their personalities.

Betas in hard-working, fast paced environments commonly dominated by alphas (medical, law, enforcement, etc.) are known to be more alpha-presenting. Those fields attract a more aggressive personality, and betas who naturally lean that way will find themselves drawn there. The opposite is also true for environments requiring a gentler touch (care, teaching, etc.). These tend to be omega dominated fields, and as such, will attract softer personalities. Betas who are prone to that can be found in higher numbers here.

Stereotyping a beta personality is difficult. Similar to the common perception of them, betas are incredibly versatile. You will find betas who you would've sworn was an alpha with how hot headed they are, and ones you put money on being an omega because of their meekness.

One thing that is very common amongst betas, though, is desperation. Betas often have something to prove, not quite fitting in with alphas or omegas. Plenty have been known to overcompensate, or find themselves hiding things from friends, partners, and packmates so they wouldn't seem incapable.

MATING

Beta cycles work in conjunction with the people they spend time around, what is needed from their pack, and what their partner is. Betas can experience heats or ruts. If they do not have a partner, their cycle will defer to their environment in the opposite way. Betas, to accommodate an alpha environment, will often go into heat, and vice versa. This is not always solid, and if they are in a pack then their cycle tends to accommodate what's needed from them there. Above all, though, their partner comes first.

Betas make up a much smaller percentage of the population, and as such have less research put into their bodies and needs. Their suppressants work by casting a large net to both heat and rut hormones, meaning their medication tends to be inefficient at getting rid of all symptoms.

Betas are prone to fertility issues due to complex internal structures. It is very common for betas to be infertile or require a lot of treatment in order to impregnate/become pregnant.

With the intention of keeping this short and sweet I'll leave this here. I'll probably make more posts on suppressants and scents and all that at some point. If anyone's got questions or concerns, hit me up.

beta: I will torture you now.

alpha: kinky.

beta: I think you are sweet and beautiful,

alpha: wait.

beta: you deserve to be cared for.

alpha *backs up*: n-no-

beta: your feelings are valid and deserve to be heard.

alpha: I NEED A SAFEWORD!

Thinking about a recessive alpha who is self conscious over his designation and mildly sweet scent and his alpha best friend who doesn’t ridicule his ways, but embraces them.

Alpha best friend who seeks his recessive alpha friend because they are the only one to soothe their outbursts, their pain, their feelings - they find comfort in a strong yet calm presence, more than any omega and their scent. They’ve been friends for a long time, and balance one another.

Recessive alpha and his alpha best friend being teased at the university because of their closeness and preference for one another over anyone else. At first they think the others are just being silly.

Alphas don’t love other alphas, right?

But one day, a pretty omega asks the best friend out in front of the recessive alpha, and he feels dread pool at his stomach. But he is surprised when his friend doesn’t even bat an eye at the omega before gently turning them down. The alpha is relieved on the inside, and almost as if sensing his distress his best friend presses their shoulders together as they walk away, a protective spike in his scent.

The recessive alpha asks his friend, “Why did you turn them down? They were beautiful, smart, everything you deserve in a mate.” His best friend looks a little lost before wrapping an arm around the others shoulder with a chuckle before saying matter of factly, “A mate? I don’t really want one. I have you, don’t I?”

The recessive alpha cannot stop the tinge of redness on his cheeks, his eyes wide as he looks his friend in the face, who looks completely undeterred by the weight of his words. He simply nods, his voice rough. “Y-Yeah, you have me.”

And soon, more ways than they had ever tested out.

my alpha/beta miis finally got married 🥹

[bunnis-monsters]

okok this has been living rent free in my head but like nonsexual nudity with an angel bf who like, loves wrapping his wings around your body to cuddle n stuff cus he loves the close proximity n he knows u get cold easily so like i just think he'd be super sweet abt it

on the other hand i just love the idea of him enjoying early morning cuddle fucking sjfkshffjdj

I like to think that your angel bf always starts out with nonsexual, nude cuddling.

The most natural state for an angel is nudity, they are not ashamed of their bodies at all. His bare skin is warm against you, and he enjoys the sensation of your naked body against his.

His wings are large and soft, the downy feathers keeping you from getting cold due to your lack of clothes.

It’s pure intimacy, being able to hold each other like this with only love on your minds.

Though, at some point bodies naturally react to stimuli. It’s innocent, and completely natural to be on hard when your partner is pressed against you.

He’s not embarrassed at all, he’s just happy to be close to you. He buries his cock between your thighs and fucks them softly, continuing to cuddle you close to him.

It’s instinct, simple as that. There’s nothing sinful about a being as pure as him using your thighs to warm his cock… right?

It’s all new to him, the feeling of your body, the way you clench around him when he pushes into you. He always gets butterflies in his belly when you’re around, and you temp him with every embrace.

Being inside of you is just a new form of intimacy, a way to be close to his beloved. Pleasure isn’t the only thing he seeks when he’s fucking into your cunt and kissing along your neck. He wants to be closer to you than anyone else, for his love to be the only one you ever know…

And when he cums inside you, everything just feels… right. This is how some humans show their love, isn’t it?

note: I have a Patreon and Kofi where I post fics early and exclusive content if you’re interested!

alphas are out, betas are in.

that's it. that's the post.

thanks to the invention of the internet, betas desirability as partners has surpassed BOTH alphas and omegas. Turns out all of your favorite historical figures were betas, shocker. All of your least favorites were alphas, and frankly omega PR has rested too heavily on "ease of birthgiving" with no additional work put in. Lazy!

betas have it going on. They're poets, they're singers, they're actresses.Every famous person you know is a beta. They're easy to work with, great to have as friends, and RELIABLE. They're not going to ghost you for a week and blame it on a heat, in fact thanks to their keen sense of smell they might be able to tell if you're rut is incoming. They'll probably bring you soup.

They've got the 'equipment' you're looking for, with all sorts of surprises in store. Those in intimate relationships with betas are never dissatisfied, that's all I'm saying. EVER. They've got everything you need and more!

Studies show that individuals with beta partners report higher need satisfaction, and experience more benefits of bond marks. They're natural communicators, have you ever heard a love song? It was written by a beta, and it was likely performed by a beta too. They can get things done.

The amish community, for example, has been beta dominant for centuries and is mostly comprised with betas. Have you ever appreciated amish craftsmanship or homecooking? Of course you have.

They come in all shapes and sizes, they are always looking good. Somehow they've got impeccable fashion sense? Is that genetic? Jury is out. They're for the people. Research is very clear, beta politicians are the most reliable and fulfill their promises. They don't care about power - yes sure, some billionaire betas are getting plastic surgery to become alphas, but betakind renounced those folks eons ago!

Do you hate how moody your alpha partner is all the time? Want a partner that will actually listen and remember what you say? How about someone so thoughtful it makes you tear up? Is your omega partner obsessed with their own attractiveness and hopelessly vain? Try a beta.

Beta's have the best cardiovascular health, the least likely to struggle with addition, and some say they have the cutiest babies. Studies are inconclusive but promising.

Betas aren't just future, they were the then and they are the now.

[wrfrm]

do you think there’d be an even bigger stigma in the omegaverse towards menstruation? Feels weird to think of it given that in real life it’s already stigmatized and looked down upon, but when everyone has ruts and heats through estrus cycles, with that being the norm, the thought of someone bleeding for a whole week MONTHLY would definitely gross out most people. In this case, beta women would be the only ones who do menstruate, right?

It makes me wonder if pads, tampons and other sorts of birth control would be as accessible as heat/rut suppressants

[intolerable-sushi]

There is not discussion nor fanfiction about the negative affects of being considered the "forgettable gender" has on betas in the omegaverse. I see so many discussions on how omegas are oppressed, how they handle it, and ways they over come it, and talks about how alpha often have to deal with the constant fear and distrust they face, but what about the betas?!

Imagine having society constantly rely on you to keep things running (going off the headcannon that they don't experience heats or ruts) only to be ignored and looked over. You are never wanted by omegas or alphas and this is even worse for female betas. Male betas and alphas are always talking about omegas and giving them gifts and attention while they have to sit there and smiling. And then having to listen to omegas complain about the attention. The betas understand the issues that omegas face but at the same time they get no attention or love. Its gotta be heart breaking.

For male betas they are in constant competition with alphas even if they will never be acknowledged. Even if they manage to be really good at something, even better than alphas, it wont matter. Why are you trying so hard you're not an alpha. They are bigger, stronger, and smarter than you, just let them do it.

To be a beta is to be the some of the most important unnecessary members of society. I haven't even gotten into other popular headcanons like the low fertility. I just think there could be so much more exploration to betas, and I might just have to do it myself.

i have a beta prompt

Fem! Beta is in highschool and she is a bad bitch who is seductive,goth and sarcastic and isn't afraid of insult anyone who try to abuse or bully her for be a beta. but she is very oblivious and don't notice how she have some of students with the eyes on her as a potential mate/couple

Valeria couldn't help but bristle as she walked down the crowded hallway. Everyone was talking amongst themselves by their lockers or outside their respective class. No one was out right looking at her, but she could feel their eyes. If she was anyone else she could brush it off as paranoia, but considering her way of dress and her second gender, she knew people were looking.

Valeria dressed in all black every day without fail. At the moment she was wearing a calf length dress, and a corset around her waist. Her makeup was simple with black lipstick and eyeliner. Most people found her style odd, or a little disturbing if she choose to were any of her bone necklaces. Being a Beta didn't really help either, as betas were actually a rarity in this district, with most attending an all beta school on the other side of the town. So Valeria stuck out like a sore thumb.

But Valeria didn't really care for the opinion of her peers or anyone for that matter. She learned at young age that she had to stick up for not only herself, but her fellow Betas. Alphas and Omegas would look for any reason to mock or harass them anyway, so what did their sneers and whispers matter. She was doing just fine with her small circle of friends. It was her last year any way, so she wouldn't have to deal with the stares and whispers for much longer.

"Valeria!! Valeria, slow done!!" The sound of running feet echoed through the hallway as the feminine voice called after her. Valeria turned to see a young beta stopping in front of her panting. "Geeze, why do you walk so fast?! Class isn't for another 10 minutes, you need to relax, honestly!"

"Good morning to you too, Cassie" Valeria said with an amused smirk. Cassie was the complete opposite of Valeria in both style and personality. Young with a face full of freckles and a smile that has burned the eyes of any who gaze upon it to long, Cassie has been mistaken for a Omega many times. Her short stature and her playful clothes didn't help her either. The duck patterned dressed she had decided to wear that day told everyone that her personality was a near replica of Mabel Pines. Cassie was also a social butterfly, flittering to a fro, from one group to another getting all the latest gossip and learning all the details she could about her classmates. She would often rave to Valeria about whatever people talked about, whether that be about a new book someone was reading, or about the latest relationship drama that has captured the school's attention. Valeria honestly zoned out most of the time and just let the junior go on.

"Hey, are you listening to me?!"

Ah, she had zoned out again. Valeria refocused to see Cassie with her cheeks puffed out, as she did when she was annoyed.

"As I was saying, you are way to tense! Even with the scent blockers I could smell you from the other side of the hall. Their still serving breakfast we should go grab some." Cassie suggested as the two began walking towards the cafeteria.

"Sorry, I'm just- I'm kind of- UGH! I'm so tired of all the stares and whispers. Normally its fine, or whatever yaknow. But, ah- I don't know, its getting under my skin today." Valeria ranted. She couldn't help but glance at the other students that they passed. Something just felt off today, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

" I mean, I won't lie to you and say people don't talk. They do, but that's just how people are. Also they actually aren't saying anything bad. No one really knows how to approach you so they talk amongst themselves," Cassie explained as she patted Valeria on the back, " I have some folks I want to introduce you to, you'll love them I promise. It'll help clear a lot of this up." Valeria looked at Cassie with a raised eyebrow. That's probably why everyone was acting off. Most of the folks here can't hide a secret to save their life, their scents give them away almost immediately. Valeria guessed that Cassie's little planned had spread throughout the school and everyone was waiting with baited breathe to see her reaction. Valeria could feel a headache coming on as she began to regret getting up that morning.

"It'll be fine I promise!!" Cassie almost squealed as she dragged Valeria into the cafeteria. Cassie stopped as they passed the doors and scanned the area before she continued to drag Valeria over to a table full of people.

As they sat down Valeria recognized the people at the table. Callum and Jacob, two alphas, and Bella and Amy, two Omegas. Callum was a tall even for an Alpha, but was a bit scrawny. He was quiet and hunched over to make himself smaller. It made sense since he often looked angry when he's actually nervous. Valeria had a class with him last year, and once the two had gotten comfortable Callum was nice enough, so she didn't really mind his presence.

Jacob was the poster child for what people believe an Alpha should be. He was tall, buff, and loud. From the few conversations Valeria has had with him, he mainly just talked about sports. He wasn't rude, just not the type person she would spend her time with.

Amy had a personality similar to Cassie. A social butterfly who talked to anyone and everyone making her very popular. She was a bit tall for an Omega and very toned from being in the cheerleading squad. She was also very assertive when it comes to something she wanted, but she was overall very kind from what Valeria has heard.

Valeria didn't know much about Bella as she was a junior like Cassie. She was quiet, quieter than Callum. Even as Valeria sat down she could see the young girl shrink further into her hoodie. She appeared rather nervous to be around Valeria. She felt a little bad for scaring the poor girl.

"Good morning, guys!!!" Cassie chirped as Valeria mumbled a good morning. A chorus of good mornings rang out from around the table before Cassie, Amy and Jacob began to talk amongst themselves.

"Hello, Valeria. It's nice to see you again." said Callum, giving Valeria a small smile.

Valeria gave a polite smile in return. " Hello Callum, how have you been?"

Callum shrugged in response. "I've been alright. Not much going on. I actually wanted to ask if y-"

"Valeria!! We're heading to the park after school today. Why don't you join us? We can even grab a bite to eat after." Amy interrupts. She looks up at Valeria with puppy dog eyes. Valeria's nose began to burn as Amy's scent began to invade her nostrils. It was sweet like poppy flowers and perfume.

Valeria turned her head, " Thanks, but no thanks. I've gotta sign up for tutoring today, and I'll be busy after school in the next few weeks."

Amy seemed to deflate at that. Her scent dulled a little and some of the sweetness disappeared. Valeria couldn't help but be puzzled by Amy's change in scent, was she that upset?

"Aw come on, Val," Valeria nose scrunched at the nickname, "you barely hang out with anyone outside of school. Live a little!" Jacob said as he leaned forward with a smirk. Valeria could feel a snarl building up in the back or her throat. Of course he assumed she didn't hang out with anyone, typical Alpha.

" I DO hang out with people outside of school. I just don't hang out with you. Is that why you assume I'm just some friendless loser? That this was some olive branch to the Beta freak? I should have known." Valeria sneered.

Jacob's face fell, " No, wait, I'm sorry! I didn't mean it like that-"

"Save it. I'm heading to class." Valeria got up, sling her bag over her shoulder before stalking out of the Cafeteria.

The group watched Valeria leave in silence. "Nice going Jacob." Amy hissed as he put his face in his hands.

"Hey, come on guys. Valeria is just a bit high strung. I'll talk to her later. It just takes time for her to warm up to people." Cassie said trying to calm down the distraught group.

"Does she really hate us that much?" Bella finally spoke up, eyes on the brink of tears.

Cassie let out a sigh as she rubbed her hands together, "She doesn't hate you. She just has a hard time trusting Alphas and Omegas. There are a lot of people who haven't really been kind to her, or any of us really. So she has a lot of walls up, and she's pretty protective." Cassie explained.

The group let out a collective sigh. The atmosphere became tense with Valeria's departure as Callum and Amy quietly seethed at Jacob. The group weren't really friends with each other, and were only together for one reason and one reason only; to gain Valeria's attention and affections. They couldn't really do it alone, as Valeria would politely rebuff them. Cassie, being the romantic that she was, offered to help them get into Valeria's good graces and then back off from there. So, really they were all in competition with each other, and it was a waiting game to see if Valeria would reciprocate any of there feelings.

Beta Keeping Manual

Everything you need to know about keeping a beta!

So, we see you've gotten a beta of your own. Congratulations! Betas are such precious and useful beings that it's a pity not everyone can have one. From the bottom of our hearts, we envy your good fortune.

This manual is aimed towards you alphas and omegas who have never had a beta but–as you should!–earnestly want to do your best by your beta. Well, look no further because our manual will guide you throughout.

I've finally claimed my own beta! But they don't seem pleased about it... Have I done something wrong?

While we can't guarantee that you have not done anything wrong (we're not clairvoyant, sorry not sorry), nine times out of ten you can rest assured that it's not about you.

Now, you've likely been banking on the fact that betas are highly adaptable. But this way you've overlooked the other fact: that betas seldom like changes, especially sudden ones. So no matter how good everything you've got ready for your beta is–and we sincerely hope you are getting your beta the best you can provide them with–it's very normal for your beta to be upset for the first few days. Be patient, good things come to those who wait 💕

Help! WHAT must I prepare for my beta?

It varies wildly, but bare minimum? Their own set of things. Better yet? Their own room.

This is perhaps a surprise to some of you alphas and omegas. It may perhaps ruin your dream of keeping your beta the centrepiece of your den or nest as the precious one deserves.

(No need to lie to us, you definitely have had that dream before. So have we 😉)

Unfortunately for our shared dream, betas highly value privacy, especially when you've just begun keeping them. Giving your beta their own room, even if it's really just a built-in closet, will benefit their mental health greatly. Failing that, well, it's only hygienic to give your beta a toothbrush and undies of their own rather than share yours, you know?

But I really want my beta to stay with me in my den/nest! Is it absolutely necessary?

First of all how dare you cast aspersion upon our credibility. Second of all, it's not absolute, no.

However, there is a trick to realizing your wish. You must boil the frog in cold water. Meaning, you must be patient (as we've already advised) and get your beta adjusted to the new state of things little by little.

Get your beta their room and leave it be for the first week or so. Starting the second week, you can place some item carrying your scent in the room–pretend to forget your coat there, offer a blanket, give a teddy bear as welcome present. Whatever excuse you use, make sure your beta keeps the item in their room.

Next week, switch it up by having your beta put something of theirs in your room. By this time your beta should have settled sufficiently that you can request this of them. Carry on with this at increasing frequency until their room carries your scent as much as their own and vice versa.

At the same time, you can get your beta used to your presence. Steer clear of their room the first week beyond knocking on the door, then start popping your head in for a couple seconds–just long enough to greet your beta good morning or goodnight, or request them to accompany you out of their room. Later on you can walk in–but do stay close to the open door. By the time your beta's room unmistakably carries your scent, you should be able to sit next to your beta inside.

This is hardly a method for the impatient, but do keep in mind that keeping a beta is serious business. You can not use your beta without taking care of their needs and still have a happy beta. A happy beta results in a happy pack, and you can bet the opposite also applies!

My beta is very good, very obedient. But they grow more listless every day! They just curl up in their room when I'm not at home. What do I do?

Do you give your beta anything to do when you aren't at home? Have you told your beta they can do things when not with you? How often and how long are you not at home?

Remember how betas seldom like changes? That naturally translates to them liking routine. When you take in your beta, they must adjust to a new routine. Without you telling them so, they won't know what they can and can't do. In many cases this makes them end up not doing anything and, consequently, becoming listless.

Once you have your beta, immediately tell them the basic rules–the ones you can't and won't tolerate no matter what–and the consequences for breaking them. Then tell them how their day will be like from now on. If you want your beta to keep to certain hours, do this or that, tell them. Communication is key in all relationships, but even more so when it comes to betas. They have no superior instinct like we do, remember!

A very important addition: do NOT stray from your own rules unless you've had the exception specified at the start. If you've said that you will lock up your beta for going out on their own without permission and your beta really does that? Then go ahead and lock them up as you've promised. But if you've specified that it's all right in case of emergency (such as a fire) and your beta breaks the rule because of said emergency, point that out and do NOT lock them up.

Your words matter as much as, if not more than, your actions in your beta's mind. They must be able to trust and rely on you even more than you must be able to trust and rely on them. If you won't abide by the rules you've set up yourself, who can your beta trust?

I hate the prospect of punishing betas. What sort of punishment should I even give them?

We understand your feelings. No matter how naughty they may be, all betas are precious. Besides, they tend to be weaker than us alphas and omegas, so a corporal punishment may be too risky.

A punishment should only be part of discipline, done in order to make the one punished conform to the rules. The rules themselves exist for the good of everyone, so that must be your target. In other words, whatever punishment you decide on for your rule-breaking beta must be designed so that it will benefit them and you as a pack.

The most effective form of punishment–or, to be precise, discipline–we have observed in betas is that of sensory deprivation and (light!) bondage. Most betas are used to take care of themselves, not to mention alphas and omegas. So for them to be denied their senses and limbs is decidedly discomfiting, perhaps even terrifying.

What you must do is treat your beta gently while they are receiving this punishment. Let your beta know that they can and do depend on you, that they will be all right entrusting their self to you.

Does my beta need any company besides mine?

Depends. Are you there for them enough?

While betas are not social creatures the way we are (otherwise it won't be legal or moral to keep them alone at our home), they do still need some interactions with other people. Generally, you as their keeper is sufficient, especially if your beta has plenty to occupy them whenever they aren't by your side.

But some of us are so unlucky to have a beta and a job that necessitates frequently going away without our betas. What to do then?

The most important point is to keep your beta as yours, since after all you can't lock them down as you can your fellow alpha or omega (wink wink). Give your beta a phone and make sure to call or chat with them, even if it's only to say goodnight. If you–very understandably–worry about other alphas or omegas trying to lure your beta away, well, that's what the phone's pack control mode is for!

It's not a bad idea to let your beta socialize with their fellow betas. Sure, you may also worry about naughty betas trying to influence yours, but again–that's what the pack control mode is for. Be a responsible keeper, cut off the bad but leave the good to grow!

My beta is simply terrified of other alphas and omegas! They always look and smell so scared whenever I bring them to parties, or even just introduce them to my friends!

Relax, this is actually not uncommon amongst betas. But don't be too relaxed either, they may have a valid reason to be scared.

Have you asked your beta why they're scared?

If you have and your beta can't or won't answer, well, chances are your beta is unused to meeting alphas and omegas. Betas are not as blessed as us in many aspects, so you may imagine that the world is more terrifying to them than it is to us. And if they're unused to interacting with real alphas and omegas? If all they know are the big bad scary ones on the news, who hurt their own betas or just betas in general?

Your beta may trust you, but not necessarily your acquaintances.

A good idea is to keep bringing your beta to meet your trusted alpha and omega friends, but let them have a secret signal with you in case they feel to be in danger or 'just' overwhelmed. Immediately rescue them, then see what the problem is. Do not under any circumstances leave your beta in a situation they perceive as dangerous, no matter you think the same or not! If you don't take good care of your beta, who knows if a better alpha or omega won't swoop in and claim your beta as theirs?

This is as far as our manual will cover for now. But don't panic just yet, you anxious alphas and omegas. If you have more questions regarding the keeping of your beta, don't hesitate to ask us! We will cover your questions at the next edition of our manual.

💖 May you and your beta always be happy together 💖

Do you think betas (if they had heats and ruts) would be stigmatized the same way bisexuals are? For example, would people call them 'greedy' and tell them to 'choose one' (even though they can't)?

Hello! Sorry for the late reply! Classes.

First off, to make it clear, in my HCs, Betas can have either a Heat or Rut. It depends on the partner. 

For example: 

If they had an Omega partner, the Beta would go into Rut. 

If they had an Alpha partner the Beta would have a heat. 

If a Beta had a Beta partner they can switch off.

– 

Sadly, though:

Betas may be seen as ‘greedy’.

Seen as ‘cheaters’. 

They deal with being questioned by their partner, since they are scared their Beta lover will leave them for someone for another Dynamic. 

Other Dynamics are hesitant to start a bond with them, sometimes. 

Note : I have not personally experienced any of this, personally, but I have seen it around. So if it wasn’t what you were expecting, I’m sorry.

Could we get some angst headcannons about female betas and male alphas??? I love them so much but I need the angst!! Maybe something about how betas aren't good enough as the omegas?? ❤️

I’m going to tell you straight up this one has had be stumped for a long time. It’s taken me SO LONG to get this answered and I have felt the absolute worst because it has taken so long. This is one ask that has been in my box longer than the rest of them and I am so SORRY!

With that being said, I have come up with a few headcanons to hopefully satisfy your angst needs.

Alpha would have a rough time ahead of him if his beta constantly feels down for being a beta. There would be a constant struggle to make her feel better about being a beta. How her dynamic doesn’t change his feelings for her.

Little arguments here and there out of frustration. Alpha tries to tamp his annoyed scent down, knowing it would upset his beta, but it becomes more difficult as time goes on. It’s a battle he would eventually lose.

Beta will pick up certain omega habits to please alpha. He feels it is completely unnecessary, as he fell in love with a beta for a reason. He isn’t as charmed by omegas as he is with betas. Still, she would insist that it would make him more enamored by her.

Beta will try to nest like an omega. She will anxiously fuss with the scented blankets and pillows for hours. It has to be perfect, like an omegas would be. Alpha would come home and lay in whatever nest she had created, finished or not, complementing on her beta touch and how he fits so comfortably in it.

There will be a dreadful feeling in alpha’s gut when he finds all of beta’s omega items. The perfumes and clothing that she has stashed away. His stomach would drop and he would feel sick. He would feel as if he had returned to square one.

Alpha would confront beta about it before he threw all of the items out. While it would immensely upset beta, alpha would take the time to get her out of the house and shop for items that she would feel comfortable with. Not just what she thinks an alpha would enjoy.

This relationship would be rocky, but through all of the hardship that doesn’t mean it will fail. With work, alpha would be able to show his beta that she is appreciated and to not listen to others opinions on their relationship.

There you go, sweetheart! Again, I’m sorry this one took so long!

Scenting Headcannons: Betas

-Betas have more subtle scents that can be similar to a omega’s or alpha’s but usually are more herbal or freshly cleaned fabrics.

-They don’t put out scents that show what whether they’re in a good or bad mood, but their scents have a natural calming effect on alphas and omegas where it lowers stress levels.

-A beta’s calming scent effects other betas less but still has a impactful effect when they’re in a good mood.

-They have a stronger sense of smell then alphas and omegas but are barely affected by scents physically.

-With a better sense of smell a mate’s scent becomes more important to them. If a beta doesn’t enjoy the scent of someone then they’re cancelled from being mate material.

-Depending on how calming their personality and scent is they’re usually geared for jobs such as counseling, hospital work, dentistry, and sometimes science work.

-If a beta has a omega or alpha partner they can help lower the intensity of ruts or heats and help clear the heads of their mates to make up for where they couldn’t satisfy in breeding.

A/B/O universe where the girls are pack bonded but during the scene after Takedown the other two sever the pack bond.

In the following conversations, one of them is about their pack and what to do. They agree that trust needs to be rebuilt and that healing needs to be done before they restore the pack bond.

This is absolutely devastating for Rumi

Rumi is beta. Betas function around pack. Sure, they can live without, theres plenty of packless betas... but to lose your pack after having one? That's devastating. Mira and Zoey are affected by the loss too, but not to the degree Rumi is.

Rumi's body starts rejecting the rejection. It cannot handle the loss of the pack.

It starts small, just fatigue. It makes sense, she'd been through a lot, and it's not all the unusual for her.nIt'll go away.

But then more symptoms show up.

They pile on until she goes to the doctor. She's diagnosed with pack sickness, an uncommon condition where someone who loses their pack gets physically ill in the aftermath of the loss, only cure is rebonding or finding another pack. Rumi's case is one of the worst her doctor has seen, exasperated by other conditions(plugging my chronically ill Rumi headcanon here)

She doesn't tell the other girls because she doesn't want to pressure them into rebonding before they're ready, but she just keeps getting worse.

The other two know somethings wrong, but they don't know what. Rumi doesn't tell them, and that hurts.

Well, eventually, it comes to a head when Rumi collapses and is admitted to the hospital.

Rumi is still very reluctant to tell them what's happening, but they either wear her down or she finally comes clean on her own, and they feel so guilty. They they do that to her. They also feel angry. How could how she keep that from them?

Cue rebonding and Rumi healing arc, polytrix healing arc, the end.
