Will they escape with their lives or will the betrayal of someone on board mean their death ?

1. Chapter 1

The year is 2025. Almost everything about the world has remained the same, cars still drive on the asphalt paved roads, planes still fly, space is still reserved for an elite few and the world's diverse countries still fight amongst themselves for power and dominance. But, the dynamic of power amongst the Alphas, Omegas and Betas of the world has shifted dramatically. About one hundred and fifty years ago, scientists attempted to determine what caused the physiological differences between the three groups, why Alpha's and Omegas found bond mates in each other and Betas did not, and why and how the bond formed with the first mating and mating bite. The research done involved altering and manipulating peoples' DNA, causing three major unexpected and unintended genetic breakthroughs.

An American Scientist discovered a sequence of genes in Alphas, and to a lesser degree Omegas and Betas, that, when altered in a certain way, gives the person varying degrees of skill and knowledge in fighting and the use of various weapons. A year after this discovery, a Scientist in New Zealand discovered a gene in Betas and Omegas, sometimes in Alphas, that gives a person varying degrees of ability in healing and medicine. The third Scientist, three years later, made the biggest breakthrough in the discovery of a series of genes that , in Alphas and Omegas, gives the ability of magic. This discovery is the closest anyone had come to figuring out the Alpha,Omega, dynamic.

The gift of magic gives people varying degrees of control over almost everything. This gift is slightly different as people have to focus their power and usually also have to speak words to direct their intentions. Some had greater power than others, and some could direct their powers instinctively. Magic was rarely gifted to Betas, usually only to Alphas and Omegas, and marked the beginning of discord among the different groups around the world.

For the last hundred and fifty years these gifts have been passed on from generation to generation with varying levels of ability. Some families, the Alpha and Omega bonded pairs, combined two of the gifts, giving their children heightened abilities. And then there were the Betas, though some possessed weaker gifts of fighting or medicine and sometimes magic, did not pass on their gifts to their children often.

Omegas generally carried multiples during their pregnancies and delivered Alphas and Omegas, rarely Betas , while Betas carried only one at a time and only delivered Betas. And yet, despite that, there were more Betas than Alphas and Omegas in the world. With the discrepancy in the distribution of the gifts, the Betas had a great dislike and discrimination against the Alphas and Omegas. Betas began to kill or use them for their own ends, and would stop at nothing to do so.

Where once there were Alphas and Omegas in positions of power, were once loved and cherished, where once they were idolized, they became the disease of the world. No longer did Betas care for the Alphas and Omegas, they took for themselves the positions of power, and took away most laws that made Alphas and Omegas special, most were hated. This lead to most hiding their true status and pretending to be Betas in the hopes of having a quiet and safe life. Most jobs in government and military allowed only Betas, while only occasionally allowing Alphas or Omegas temporary positions. Alphas and Omegas open about their status usually had a difficult time getting good careers.

At some point in time, somewhere along the road with all of the genetics breakthroughs and shift in power amongst the groups, two movements arose, one to return to our roots, swept through the world. Very few actually truly returned to their roots, most simply expanded the range of weapons that could legally be used. Though people still carried guns, many also began to carry swords, of all sizes, maces, bows and arrows, cross bows, and any weapon you could imagine. And the second was a movement to return the power back to the natural order of Alphas at the top , Omegas at their side and Betas filling out the rest of the positions.

The world at large remained the same, but the smaller changes had the greatest impact and largest repercussions than ever imagined.
