Alfred Fitzgerald Jones was a very enjoyable fellow. He always was smiling and laughing, and he loved talking to others. Sure, he was also not the brightest male unless he chose to be, he was a bit arrogant, and he had one of the biggest hero complexes imaginable, but one found it hard to not enjoy the man's presence because he just had the most contagious smile that one would ever see.
Alfred was also quite well-known. He came from the Jones family, which was rumored to be close relatives to the royal family at the time. The family was completely made up of the upper class, and they had so much wealth that practically everyone wanted a chance to become part of the family. Another factor that made the Jones family so well-known and desirable was that it stuck to very traditional standards. The Alphas (which was what the family was primarily composed of) had Omega mates, and any Beta born either mated another Beta or remained single for the rest of their lives.
Naturally, the fact that Alfred was a Jones should alone be reason enough to be famous and the talk of many social circles. However, there was also something else rather interesting about the sociable man. Despite the fact that Alfred was quite clearly male, he had been born an Omega. It was so very rare that the family would give birth to an Omega, let alone one that was also male, so Alfred was a unique case that gave a chance for new Alphas to enter the family.
With Alfred's charming smile, his unique Nature, and his high status, one would think that the male was happy with his privileged life. This, however, could not be anymore wrong.
Omegas, as their name suggests, are the last of the Natures. They are capable of bearing children, but they are socially required to submit to any of the other Natures — especially Alphas. Alfred, unlike other Omegas, was a rather free spirit that was not naturally submissive. He took much interest in the stars and sports, but was unable to go through with these loves because of his Nature. And that fact made Alfred's contagious smile decidedly a lot more fake.
It was even more unfortunate for Alfred when he fell deathly ill. The Jones sent for every doctor they could find, but they were all baffled and unable to help. Alfred was left to suffer and cough his lungs out until he could no longer get out of his bed. It was when the Omega reached this state that his parents sought the help of a supposed wizard.
This wizard, much like the doctors, was unable to heal Alfred. However, unlike the doctors, the wizard foresaw a way to help the man. He predicted that there would be a time in the future where there would be proper help for Alfred, and the only way that the Omega would survive would be if he would be put into a long sleep inside the wizard's special container. The Omega, the wizard had explained, would be protected this way and would only be awakened when the people who could help Alfred woke him up.
After debating the issue, the parents agreed.
Alfred slept for centuries inside the wizard's container, hidden away in the basement of the Jones's mansion. As these years passed, the Jones family died off and branched into many different families. And as time went on, Alfred was forgotten.
Our story begins when the Omega was finally rediscovered.
