Chapter Two.

"I cannot believe that you out of all people got a job as a 1'st level teacher" Naama said to Rishio yey'r eyes twinkling with mischief.

"Why? Is it because I am an omega?" Rishio asked while turning to look at Naama.

"No, because you run a bar in the capital." Naama replied while sipping yey"r drink.

"As much as it it rewarding to be a teacher, it does not pay much and it is not that fun.Besides I only have classes once a week, what else am I supposed to do the rest of the week?" Rishio replied while filling up another patron's cup.

"Rishio has a point" Orish chimed in while snaking gur's hands around Naama's waist as gur laid gur's chin on the crook of Naama's shoulder. "The pay is not that great, especially to an omega teacher. I make almost thrice as Rishio yet yey is more qualified than me."

"Perks of being an alpha." Naama said as yey let out a sigh. "Back to my question Rishio." Naama said while returning yey'r attention back to Rishio.

"Are you not afraid that some of your student parent's are going to find out that a teacher is running a bar? I mean you already get so much shit for being an omega."

Rishio leaned on the counter facing Naama and said" Well, what are those "upstanding, holy than thou" parents doing in a place where they would not want a teacher to be?" Yey said a smile playing on yey'r lips.

"Good point." Naama said while running yey'r hands through Orish's locks who was watching the two of them.

"You two may not know this, but no one wants to see the two of you acting all lovey dovey." Rishio said as yey pointed at the couple who had no problem with letting their romance show for all to see.

" You are just jealous cause you have no one to make you feel this way." Naama said jokingly as yey shoved yey'r hands in Orish's pants while sticking yey'r tongue out.

"I am being assaulted." Orish said in a flat tone still not moving from gur's position.

"Naama stop assaulting your partner" Rishio replied not even sparing the couple a glance as yey refilled ice into an ice cooler.

" Nye! You two are no fun." Naama said with a bored tone.

" Go home, both of you, you never pay for you drinks anyway." Rishio said directing yey'r gaze towards Naama who just turned yey'r head away from Rishio mumbling" I have no idea what you are talking about?".

" We cannot go home and leave you all alone, you need us just as we need you." Naama said while holding yey'r chest as if to show yey'r sincerity.

Rishio scrunched up yey'r face in disgust and said, " If you two are having trouble in bed do not involve me."

Letting out a sigh Naama replied coyly, "It is like you have no idea how an Omega-Alpha partnership works."

"By the way why do you not have an alpha ?" Orish asked, leaving gur's previous position to a seat beside Naama while interlocking gur's hands with yey's and letting gur's right wing partly cover Naama as if it was a barrier against unwanted attention, Rishio could not help but notice and chuckle inwardly at this.

"That is adorable". Rishio thought.

"And what? Become like you two?No thanks." Rishio answered.

"But your life will be much easier if you had an..."

"Orish, drop it." Naama interrupted Orish with a forced smile and a subtle squeeze to gur's hands. Orish quickly got the message but still could not help the dissatisfied look that slipped onto gur's face.

"It is fine, I am sure gur meant no harm." Rishio said flatly while giving Orish a blank look, clearly stating that that topic was never to be spoken of again.

"Wait, who are with your children tonight? I am sure tomorrow they have classes." Rishio asked Naama in effort to divert the conversation away from the weird atmosphere that had been created.

"Oh, they are with my mother tonight , tomorrow's classes have been cancelled since one of the alpha kids got hurt by a beast during a riding class. Sometimes I wonder who the real alphas are, because I am sure if an omega kid got hurt they would just have just walked it off but apparently the alphas are still the apple of the society's eyes, nothing should harm them while omega kids are getting hurt and dying out here." Naama went on a rant, anger slowly slipping into yey'r voice.

"Maybe we are what is wrong with the society. After all we have been through so much as the human race yet we still let differences separate us." Orish chimed in.

"Maybe." Rishio said while looking out the window towards the night sky, "But there is no use in trying to fix that which cannot be fixed is there? For tonight you two should drink, I am confident that you both would not an opportunity like this for a very long time." Yey added with a smirk on yey'r face.

"Curse you and your single, non children life where you can drink all week and have no children screaming your name at sunrise." Naama complained while downing yey'r drink.

"Yeah,yeah I am the villan." Rishio said in a sarcastic tone while filling up Orish's drink.

***********************************************************************************************

"Orish is still a lightweight as ever." Rishio said to Naama who was struggling under yey'r drunk partner's weight who was passed out from drinking too much.

"I told gur'r that gur can never beat me at a drinking contest but alphas and their damn pride." Naama said in a prideful tone."Are you almost done with locking up? This damn alpha is heavy, curses at gur's perfect muscles."Yey added shifting Orish into a more suitable position.

"Yeah, just the outer lock and I..am..done" Rishio replied,finishing up with the lock and walked towards Naama who had started panting under yey's partners weight. "Should I have Ryok take you home or did you come with your own beast this time?" Yey asked as they walked towards the beast pen where beasts were normally kept when they were not being used. Beast pens were available through out the city as beasts were the main means of transport.

"You would do that for me?" Naama asked in a sarcastic tone"Where would I be without you".Yey added.

"Both of you would probably be dead."Rishio replied as yey opened the pen's gate revealing Ryok, a descendant of the beasts that were left by the demons after the war of "The End".These beasts could only be described as something out of one's nightmare.They were terribly grotesque creatures, a fitting form for where they came from, with six blazing red feline eyes three on each side of its face that terribly resembled that one of a crocodile as it came with long, protruded jaws that housed an impressive amount of serrated teeth that were used to tear the human flesh from their bones which was later welcomed into the mouth by a long forked tongue.Plus a towering height of eight metres, going to twelve when they are fully grown, and a length of six metres to their their reptilian tail that was covered in diamond hard scales .Their body was their power house, with the design of a lion but the strength that exceeded that of bears and muscles that seems ripple and coil to any movement.Also they had been adorned with a long muscular neck that was covered by the same scales that are at its tail.The scales seem to run all over its body making an impenetrable amour around it.The neck supported a reptilian like head that was forty eight inches long and twenty four inches wide .Different beasts came with a varying range of colors mostly red, black and grey.Apparently no one knows how long their life span is all is known is that on their twentieth year they just live and never comeback. No beast carcasses has ever been seen.

A great sense of sight smell and hearing,thanks to big bat-like ears on the left and right side of their heads which most of the time were drooped onto the sides of their head and only perked up during hunting mode, made them impossible to escape, if one was not dead by shock due to its appearance,the fact that it was impossible to escape will make sure that its prey would not get away.The only reason why the humans were able to tame them was because the beasts really liked the taste of chicken than that of humans, so after the war the humans would capture them when young are rear them on poultry meat hence taming them.These days poultry farming is an extremely lucrative business as a beast consumes a lot of meat in one sitting and they are fed thrice a day, quite an expensive pet to keep but rather a pet than a predator.

Ryok was a two year old male beast, still a kid as it could be seen by the way he ran towards Rishio immediately yey opened the pen's door and shoved his head into Rishio's hands letting out purrs opposite of the unholy roars the beasts usually do. At two years old Rishio was at an impressive eight feet kinda big for beasts his age but Ryok apparently did not think of his size as an obstacle for getting his head pat by his master.

"Still a freaking big baby." Naama said letting out a snort as yey watched the big beast melt at his owner's hands. Ryok who seemed not to have noticed Naama's presence till then turned to look at yey'r giving yey'r a bored look then returning his attention tho his owner

"What does that damn beast have against me?" Naama asked incredulously.

"Maybe its the fact that almost once every month he has to take you and your drunk partner home and be away from his loving owner for a whole night." Rishio replied still patting Ryok.

"Whatever, it cannot judge me." Naama said narrowing yey'r eyes at Ryok who seem to scoff at yey'r remark.

"He notan "it"." Rishio corrected."Come on boy let us help this mess of a human being back home." Rishio said to Ryok as yey adjusted the saddle that was on his back into a more comfortable position.

Ryok let out a whining like sound as if to express his unwillingness to leave his owner, with a chuckle Rishio replied,"I know, I know but if they die along the way they are going to drag us into the Abyss with them."

That seemed to convince Ryok as he lowered his body so that Naama was able to lay Orish across his back, not so gently though.

"That alpha is freaking heavy."Naama exclaimed while doing a banana stretch.

"Then do not let gur drink so much."Rishio stated.

"I do not want to drink alone,I am not you."Naama said jokingly while mounting Ryok.

"Is that supposed to hurt my feelings?" Rishio asked while smiling.

"Do you even have those you damn ice wall?" Naama scoffed earning a laugh from Rishio.

"Try not to punish Orish so much for the whole getting mated by an alpha thing, I know gur meant no harm. Besides I clearly saw that gur regretted asking me that." Rishoi said to Naama.

"I know,but gur does have a point, you do know that as long as you do not have an alpha this society will never recognize you as a person?"

"I know." Rishio replied stepping away from Ryok as he stood back up.

"I understand your choices why you choose to live the way you do and I definitely understand your reasons why, I mean if I had gone through what you.."

"Nana!"Rishio called out Naama interrupting yey'r.

Sighing Naama said,"I know, I am just worried about you. I know that you can protect yourself but this damn society is not fair at all. I do not want to see you hurt."

"I know." Rishio said smiling up at Naama.

Chuckling Naama said,"Knowing your stubbornness we can stay on this topic the whole night.But my alpha is groaning and I do not want gur to puke all over your precious Ryok cause he might eat him." Looking at yey'r partner then back down at Rishio yey said,"Well, I will get going, try not to miss Ryok so much, I will bring him back tomorrow." With a click of yey'r heels on Ryok's sides Naama took off into the night, leaving Rishio chuckling while shaking yey'r head at Naama's acts.

"I think I have had enough excitement to last me a month." Rishio thought.

With a deep breath of the cold night's air Rishio went towards yey'r home which was a floor above yey'r bar.

***********************************************************************************************

"Excuse me Rishio Yey." Rishio turned to find out who had the audacity to call yey'r when yey was almost on Ryok so that yey could go home after a long day of teaching. It was a week after yey had Naama at yey'r bar but right now yey rather be with Naama than be at yey'r job a minute longer. Yey found that it was the omega new teacher who just joined them,Lywa was that yey name?

With the least annoyed face yey could muster yey said,"Yes, how can I help you?"

Please say i just forgot something, Rishio wished repeatedly .

"Sorry to disturb you but the HeadCounselor is calling for you." Yey answered.

"Any particular reason why?" Rishio asked stepping off Ryok, who was not in agreement with the change of plans and let it know by nugding Rishio gently who responded with patting his head.

The feeling is mutual baby, Rishio thought while patting Ryok.

"Gur did not say , but gur said it was urgent so please hurry." Yey said as yey walked away not sparing Rishio another glance.

"Yeesh, one would think that both of us being omegas yey would want to get along with me but apparently my ass is not worth licking. " Rishio snickered to Ryok.

"Alright let us see what this other one wants." Rishio said while walking away from Ryok heading towards the source of yey'r agony this week.

*************************************************************

"So you are telling me that I am getting my second strike on my teaching license because I taught the children history in an anatomy class something which you specifically told me to do the minute I got this job?" Rishio asked yey'r employer who was seated opposite from where yey was standing.

"No you have gotten your second strike because you told the kids that the alphas looked down on omegas..."

"Look...that alphas look down on omegas." Rishio interrupted the HeadCounselor.

With a not so friendly look directed towards Rishio from gur's golden eyes and a quick look behind yey'r back, so quick that one would miss it but Rishio saw it ,a small smile on yey'r face was proof that yey did, the HeadCounselor continued,

" Know your place omega, the only reason I even allowed something like you to work here is because of a favor I owed your teacher and that you are such a useless omega that you evengo into heat, and I for one cannot wait for the day that I will fire you. I do not know where you got those stupid ideas that omegas are equal to alphas but it would be best if you forget about them. It is as it always has been, alpha above,you damn omegas below. You are the low of the lowest,an omega that does not get heat is a mistake. You. are. a mistake." Gur finished off with a sneer.

"I may not have gotten my heat yet." Rishio started calmly, "But you seem to forget that I am not affected by alphas' pheromones, so no matter how much you pump out I will not submit, although I do not think it is a good idea for the HeadCounselor to be producing such amounts of it. What will the parents of the omega students have to say about that? How can an alpha who cannot even control his pheromones be fit to run a school?" Rishio finished looking straight into the HeadCounselor's eyes watching gur got flustered trying to control gur's pheromone emission.

"I have heard what you have to say and now it is my turn, I will not lie to children for the reason that you do not want to tarnish the name the "oh so great name"of alphas because I am teaching a class of alphas and omegas.I want the alphas to know who they are and be more responsible towards themselves and others and I want the omegas to learn that they are not helpless creatures. I want both of them to be aware of each others power over each other so that they can all steer clear from being manipulated by their opposite genders. Is that such a bad thing to teach?" Rishio paused looking at the HeadCounselor who looked away.

Of course, now gur looks away, Rishio said to yey'rself.

With a sigh Rishio turned towards the door to leave but not before saying," If that gives me a third strike then I will accept my fate but that will prove my point that this is an alpha's world after all." with that Rishio walked out of the office and headed towards the beast pen.

On yey'r way yey met with Lywa who whispered to yey'r as they passed each other,

"That is why you will never get an alpha, Useless Omega." as yey continued to walk away from Rishio.

It is funny how almost everyone thinks that an omega getting an alpha makes them better people, but hey what do I know I am just a useless omega, Rishio thought to yey'rself while chuckling.

As yey approached the beast pen yey could see that Ryok was ready to go as he ran towards yey'r. Roshio opened the pen and let Ryok out,with a quick jump on Ryok's back yey said to him ,

"Let us go home now."

Yey clicked yey'r heels against Ryok who took off towards their destination.

TheIR ride home was uneventful, after letting Ryok into his pen and feeding him, Roshio went up to yey'r house where after a meal and a bath, yey fell onto yey'r bed out of pure exhaustion. With yey'r right arm across yey'r face yey said to yey'rself,

"It is one of those days huh? Come at me with everything you have universe."

With that statement yey received a message in yey'r ringer, a ringer is a device where one receives messages in form of holograms.With an exhausted groan yey stretched towards it to check who it was. Yey found a five minute long message from yey'r mother.

"Fuck." That was all that left Rishio's mouth.
