For safety reasons, most omegas wore a sturdy collar around their necks. You did not want some abusive asshole of an alpha trying to mark you on the neck. The mating bites were permanent. Omegas were especially vulnerable to their heats and the alpha pheromones released during an alpha's rut. The quadruplets were all wearing theirs. It was because they had an alpha father. He was not playing around when it came to safety. It also was a marker for discrimination. Omega males were not treated very well. It was better than other countries where they full on castrated omega males on presentation, but it was still rough. The alphas just sat down. "You need an alpha that can treat you right." one of them said after she looked at them like they were intruding. They were doing exactly that. Neither alpha cared. "Yeah. Someone in your life that can protect you and satisfy you." the other added. Anna rolled her eyes at them. She gestured at her date. "I'm good on that. Reilly here is a great guy and I really like him. Please leave us." That set them both off. Reilly was shocked at that.
Looking at things through the lens of the game setting, he had expected Anna to abandon him for the alphas. There was no need to think about it. Alpha males were the best. Beta males were better than omega males. Reilly was an omega. Hearing her stand her ground was novel since she was a beta female. Most girls would think that it was an honor. Anna took it a step further. She actually stuck up for him and defended him in public. That had really wounded the pride of the 2 alphas. "Stuck up bitch!" the first one said. "Get out of here." she said. "You don't know who the fuck you're messing with!" the other growled. Anna stood up. She was not going to risk a whole gang war for Colby. That was insane at level 1. 2 assholes in a fast food place was more much manageable. "Either apologize to us or leave." she said. "Or what!?" the growling one snapped. He tried to use his pheromones on her. It triggered a new minigame. She had to keep a bouncing ball steady in the middle of a vibrating bar. That represented her composure in the face of the pheromones. She did the tutorial first.
