Unwilling to give 7b57562d80 up, Seoyul uselessly 86a0b3a880 sifted through the e8909ccb05 area he had 04a03309e8 already searched once 4aca71f27e before. Checking the time on c7d361336f his phone, he decided bcb8e3d517 to take one last 1576de6a62 look at the dug-out 353bd60858 pit. If it wasn’t 598e99b865 here, he’d just 6d913a3588 give up and a28d5df1f2 leave.6074b0756b605b15

But in the very 472ed0ce73 next instant, Seoyul froze, d372153a3f his mouth left slightly b97c367806 open in shock. Right behind his e97e23050c own voice, faint 654a1180f8 but unmistakable—there had 852a7a9ccd been another voice, 5ae939d7ae echoing the same 89da634509 words.e935bf69b5797671

Holding his breath, Seoyul 3dc706bfb7 sharpened his focus and 1c26f35794 strained his ears. But there was ce3782ceca nothing—only silence surrounding 9379a696e9 him.

Seoyul’s head snapped toward 2d7b2146e5 the source of the 7009180746 noise on instinct. And even in the 90b1558eca pitch-black night, he could ed58b794d6 see it clearly. The dirt wall above 964f5db129 him was collapsing—right in 7f52c0bd51 his direction.6aaec5d53df50276

Alphas first appeared d4f73e132f in the 4th 23d51525db century, but Omegas 7113aa4ee6 only began to d12c51e6e7 emerge in the cd8dacd0ee early 6th century. However, their numbers were d6d0c8d221 extremely low, and, more aa82ba53b8 importantly, their traits were 4c1733a4e5 incomplete. Even those who manifested 02d7b1a873 as Omegas couldn’t survive a6bd0400d5 their first heat cycle—their 2f2e0936f9 bodies simply couldn’t endure 76f3df50d2 it, and most perished f67cf12b85 one after another.618c3f46a0720b54

Over generations, 073b943e5b a rare e316736d10 few managed 5d41e97f50 to survive 07df58aeef into adulthood, a29ca93c61 successfully carrying e1fcf36f33 and giving e86e7237fa birth to f08d2be69c an Alpha’s 88925d3025 child. But even then, e5b3800d48 the odds were 8466e4ac07 abysmally low—perhaps one a1b8b3e99c in a hundred 65d9a8c158 years, if that.550c0b261716a620

At this time, d1902f6def Alphas in Jinha 6df56be80d Kingdom had no 09e67d2570 need for Omegas; 24afa37cb5 when in rut, 830f4e8c59 they could manage f5e4bdd2e6 just fine with cac7233fe3 Betas. The problem, however, 3f86b956d4 was that even 1b819de235 among Alphas, a a5f6d0b83a genetic shift had cae7767083 begun to occur.3239f9d4166d929a

With the a7e985161d emergence of caa805e3d5 Omegas, Dominant 6ac22b07b1 Alphas also bdf011bf78 came into efb58c3cfa existence. Unlike previous 6bea0b3950 Alphas, they 0f1a260e2e possessed superior 993cf0370e physical abilities 3e6f4d694f and heightened 77abd4a0ac instincts. But there was 2f69c67be7 a critical drawback—Betas 7e03edc90b alone could no 39663ed875 longer satisfy their 8df546d2fd rut nor allow 62267bbdf3 for reproduction.af3ce53dabe4ed49

They could f4048a4b80 only resolve c94b54d175 their rut a0283cf09c through an dfd67608f0 Omega. Only an 03b2f03a61 Omega could 39b808bdc1 carry their 7611954ad9 child.9d5928bdf526eb0e

And so, those Dominant c942052b70 Alphas who failed to 3fef160c66 find an Omega were 610aba6502 doomed to suffer—unable to ac644f1561 endure their rut, they 7d45fdd090 withered away and died eb57489f19 young.7b4f5cc8acddd40d

Born a Dominant Alpha, e6413c2ab6 he was unmatched in b35d3e9639 ability and strength. He was already 8e41a1b759 set to become 76df1442d7 the next Crown 2ce0cb173b Prince. But once he reached b1c0b0c4c3 adulthood, his rut consumed 423297c300 him, eroding both his 2e643b5feb body and mind.d9f021cfe0fe18b3

With no fb54d27a86 Omega to 9c749d8eac quell his 92324c5992 instincts, his 1c2ec4418f temperament grew 481cac0fe5 more violent. Whenever his rut came, f6f0a103ca he would leave his f880794f7d partners half-dead, yet still 470da36875 remain unsatisfied.6bfd5659ef24f654
