THE HEART'S SHIFT

In a small room meant for rest, an unthinkable events unfolds.

The room echoed the muffled sobs, quiet screams, and sickening sound of the flesh hitting flesh. A silent scream of rage and disgust enveloped the heart of the crying figure, directed at the person outside.

The person responsible for protecting the child, instead stood idly by, listening to the horrific sound. For it was the father, tasked with protecting his son, who had orchestrated this living nightmare.

Three heavily tattooed men took turns exploiting Raven Salvador. Nineteen-year-old Raven Salvador, a beta, struggled to maintain his dignity.

And the mastermind behind this horror was Raven's step father,Robin Solis. Raven's real father who was an Alpha died. And just two years later, his mother, a Beta, remarried.

Alpha, is someone who has the ability to emit a scent that can entraps Omegas. They are also known to have the most power in the business world and leading the family. The alpha exhibits dual personas. The first is the normal man who has the ability to produce semen to have a child. And the second is a woman who has two genitals. A woman with the ability to produce semen through an organ similar to that of a man.

Omega, they are the people who are destined to bare children. Even the Omega man has the ability to get pregnant and give birth like a normal woman do. They are unique creatures that are incapable of resisting the powerful pheromone of an Alpha. They are also uniquely capable of attracting an Alpha through pheromone.

Pheromone, it is the scent that Alpha and omega emits. They also uses this scent to tell people what they feels. Pheromone has different smells. It's either sweet or mint. Sometimes it's heavy and sometimes it's gentle.

Beta, these are normal people. They are not affected by any pheromones, and they live a normal life, far from the life of the two first mentioned. Although sometimes, there are Betas who are called late bloomers. They are the ones who suddenly have a secondary gender transformation.

And Raven, belongs to the group of Betas.

"Moan for me!" One assailant barked. Thrusting nonstop behind him.

Shaking his head one after another was the only answer of the young man who is currently crying quietly. Even though his eyes were blindfolded, Raven could feel the disgusting touch of men who were with him inside that room. Every kiss and thrusts on his young body seemed like a dagger stabbing his whole being.

How many times has this happened? Twice? Five times? No, actually, from the time he stepped foot at the age of 17, his life began to become an ordeal.

"Fuck, stop emitting your pheromone! We're both alphas here!" One of the other three men shouted while shoving his manliness to Raven's mouth.

The reason for what is happening is his step father. Robin wants Raven to become an Omega so that he can marry an Alpha who can help them rise from hardship. A dream that can only come true if Raven experience a secondary gender transformation. But it's been three years since Robin started this so called work, and there's still no changes in Raven's body.

"How much longer? Morning's approaching!" Robin shouted from outside the door.

In each session, Robin receives money from the Alphas which he uses to gamble. Raven's mother, who died of a heart attack last year, did nothing when she found out what was happening to her son. Because of the shocking information, she died.

There was silence in the room for a few moments. And after that, was the opening of the door. However, just as the three men came out, the bright light outside Raven's house, blinded them.

"What the hell?! What's going on?!" Robin said in confusion as he steps quickly headed for the main door of the house.

Outside, three police cars were parked, five police motorcycles, and more than twenty people wearing police uniforms were stationed.

"You stupid son of a bitch!" A man with a scar on his forehead released a punch and it hit Robin's face. "You dare call the cops?! You traitor!"

"No! Wait! I didn't!" Robin denied while shaking his head.

While the three Alphas and Robin were quarreling and punching each other, Raven slowly left the room wrapped in a white blanket. The side of his lip was torn, there were many bruises on his body, and there was literally white liquid flowing between his thighs. His blue eyes were filled with tears and hatred for his father.

"I was the one who gave them the information." Weak but with emphasis, Raven said after passing the four who are still fighting.

"You did what!? Raven! You useless brat! How could you do this to me, after what I did for you and your mom?!" Robin shouted angrily.

He was about to attack Raven but he was quickly caught by two policemen who had already approached them. The three Alphas who tried to use their pheromones were also cornered by the Beta police.

"Useless? Me? Enough with your bullshit! I.. Am the one who's supporting your daily lives. Using my body. You- you monster!" Raven replied before his vision went dark and he completely lost consciousness.

The next scene is the arrest of the four men. Even though Robin was struggling, the police gave him a few punches out of rage. While Raven was rushed to a nearby hospital to be given first aid due to the injuries sustained. Also, psychiatric procedures.

Inside the hospital that Raven was taken to, the reporters are currently in a frenzy because of the news they received. And unexpectedly, they also found inside that hospital, the only dominant alpha known in the entire area of Coron, Palawan.

Xavier Vaughn, 28 years old. Half Filipino, half British. Owner of five star Sunrise hotel and beach resort located in Coron. Dominant Alpha who has big businesses all over the country of the Philippines, but he doesn't wants Omega to get close to him.

"How did they know that I am here?" Xavier asked his secretary who was a Beta.

He was referring to the reporters who rushed to the hospital. Because he asked the staff to make his visit to the hospital a secret. Well, the only reason for his visit was his monthly checkup for his Rut. He needs Curb Plaster and some suppressants.

"I'm sorry sir, but according to the nurse I asked, they are here to investigate the rape case. They said the victim, a Beta, was rushed here." Edward answered, his secretary.

"Rape? A girl?" Xavier is sitting elegantly, waiting for his doctor.

"Yes sir, but he's a boy. And the rapists are all Alpha."

"What?!" Xavier exclaimed in shock at what he heard.

When did an Alpha get interested in raping a Beta man?! Alpha can seduce any other Omega! Or even female Betas. So how in the world?!

"Well, the nurses said, the victim's father is the one who has everything planned. To earn money. That father deserves to die."

Xavier nodded in agreement. "So, how's the victim?"

"I heard he's now quiet. He doesn't want to be approached by Alpha. And also, he's a student. I just don't know how he can study after what happened."

"Edward.." Xavier called his secretary's name.

"Yes sir?"

"I think being a reporter suits you. You already know a lot of information even though we haven't been here for an hour at the hospital."

"W-what?! No sir, I'm sorry. Please don't fire me." Edward said confused before bowing. 'You're the one asking me, tho. I'm just answering' he even added in his mind.

Xavier didn't answer either because his doctor had also arrived. And when the door opened, at the same time as Xavier looked up, a young boy with an expressionless face passed by. He has a dark aura surrounding him.

Even when their eyes met, the boy's blue eyes seemed dead. And lonely..
