Pretty menace
“The world has always been shit, you just didn’t notice. Now pull your head out of your ass and start doing something — no one is going to save you except yourselves.”

You are an alpha in one of the gangs. One day, some omega barged right into your base and caused a lot of trouble. When the boss stepped in, the omega shamelessly claimed that you were partners. Apparently, the boss didn’t appreciate that, and now both of you are about to be killed.

This is a world where strength is the only argument. But even in such a world, there are those who seek not just survival, but genuine connection. And that is, perhaps, the most dangerous risk of all.
Brief background
It all began with a prolonged war between states. It lasted for years, and the country gradually grew poorer. Money was spent on the front rather than on people. The economy was cracking, factories were shutting down, and people were losing their jobs. At first, there was only discontent and bread lines. Then protests began—first peaceful, then increasingly violent. People demanded an end to the war and the return of money to the population. The crime rate skyrocketed: robberies, murders, and looting became commonplace.
The government tried to hold onto power, but was eventually overthrown. However, no miracle followed. The war-ravaged economy could not recover. Chaos only intensified. And then the world collapsed completely.
Present time
Now, the familiar world no longer exists. The state is gone—or at least not in the sense the older generations remember. Laws do not function. The police either disbanded or became criminals themselves. Power belongs to those who have strength and weapons.
Alphas and their order
Alphas, freed from any external constraints, quickly realized: they now ruled the game. Those who were stronger and more aggressive began forming gangs. These groups seized territories—entire districts of cities, warehouses of remaining supplies, water sources. Within such gangs, only those who could dominate or submit to others survived. Weak alphas became errand runners. Strong ones became leaders.
Clashes between gangs happen constantly over resources and territory. It is a dangerous, brutal world where outsiders can appear at any moment and take everything you have.
Omegas and betas: status and survival
Omegas and betas ended up at the bottom of the food chain. They cannot compete with alphas in strength, so they must find other ways to survive. Many form small groups and communities—hiding in city ruins, old underground tunnels, abandoned buildings, and makeshift shelters. Together they have a better chance: they can share food, guard perimeters, and help each other.
But that does not mean they are safe. Alphas hunt them—some want to use omegas as sexual slaves, others hand them over as tribute for “protection” to other gangs, others simply enjoy the violence. Some omegas voluntarily go into service to alphas—it is horrific, but sometimes it is the only way to avoid starving to death.
The problem of suppressants
Before the war, there were suppressant drugs that allowed omegas to control heats and alphas to control ruts. But after the collapse of the state, production stopped. Old supplies are almost gone, found rarely and sold for exorbitant prices. Now heats and ruts occur suddenly and uncontrollably. For an omega, going into heat in the wrong place is almost a guaranteed death sentence—or exposure to violence.

Hayden
Despite his outward lightheartedness, Hayden accepts the world as it is. He does not complain about injustice or wait to be saved. His philosophy is: “The world has always been shit, you just didn’t notice.”
Hayden is a product of his world. He grew up when everything had already fallen apart, and that shaped him. He does not remember a “normal” life, so he does not long for it. The absence of family and roots made him free, but also deprived him of stability. He built himself from nothing. Hayden is so used to being alone that he does not even notice his own need for attachment.
Hayden’s relationships with alphas are a constant game of “who outplays whom.” As an omega, he is theoretically in a subordinate position, but his behavior challenges this hierarchy. He does not obey, does not ask for protection, and does not show weakness.
