Chapter 1
The 100 – solstice
Only 10% of people are Omegas but Clarke isn't an ordinary Omega she's amongst the 1% of Omegas that are known as Apex Omegas.
Bellamy is amongst the 35% of the population that are Alphas but he is also part of the 3% of Alphas that are known as Prime Alphas.
They both have secrets but they are about to meet and they will both discover there is no hiding from what they are.
Now this is the first time I've tried writing a fic like this so I'm not sure how it will end up so I would appreciate it if people could share their thoughts on how I do in the first few chapters and weather this fic is worth continuing.
Clarke
'Well here we are,' Clarke's mum said parking up the car in the carpark of what was going to be Clarke's dorm. Looking out the window up at the building Clarke smiled the building looked just like the pictures she had seen online with its balconies and various kinds of plants growing around the outside of the building. She had looked at various accommodation buildings connected to the Polaris campus but this one had really looked like the best place for her and seeing it now she was sure she had made the right call.
'Well let's do this,' Clarke smiled opening the car door excited to get in there and meet Octavia who the emails she had been sent had told her was going to be her roommate. It took them a minute to get all of Clarke's bags and boxes together but after that they moved there way inside.
Getting in doors Clarke saw all kinds of people walking around the corridors clearly moving in as she was and she could tell from the barrage of different kinds of scents people from all kinds of casts really would be living here. The email hadn't said what cast Octavia was much to her mum's annoyance, what cast a person might be was considered protected information but Clarke was hopeful, not too many Alphas would want to live in a place like this so the odds were she would be a Beta she might even be an Omega which would be good.
'It's sad Finn couldn't be here to help you move in,' her mum said shifting the box she was carrying slightly in her arms as the two of them started climbing the stairs.
'Well he's got his own college dorm to move in to today mum,' Clarke said rolling her eyes as they reached the correct floor 'and is that really what disappoints you,' she added in a pointed tone 'or is it that your disappointed he isn't here to show people I'm with a nice Beta.'
'Would it be so wrong if that was what I wanted,' her mum challenged opening the door on the left hand side of the stairs 'people might not be able to tell what cast you are Clarke with the pills and lotions your on but you know how Alphas can be.'
'So you think them thinking I'm the property of another man will stop them,' Clarke asked as they walked down one of the corridors on the floor feeling more and more annoyed with her mum.
'That's not what I said Clarke,' her mum said turning briefly as they walked 'but Alphas in general are rather sexist so if seeing your with Finn gets them to leave you alone I'm ok with that, we both know you will need whatever help you can get.'
'Nobody's going to find out about me,' Clarke said rolling her eyes as they reached the correct room 'even if someone did find out I'm an Omega,' she added whispering now 'no one would ever guess I'm anything more than that.' She saw her mum open her mouth to continue this conversation so Clarke quickly opened the door to her room in order to cut her off and was immediately bombarded by one of the strongest mixes of scents she had ever experienced.
Bellamy
'What exactly did they tell you about this girl O,' Bellamy asked bouncing slightly on the bare matrass of the bed that was going to belong to his sister's new roommate he was currently sat on.
'They gave me her name,' Octavia began moving around the reasonably sized room moving her clothes into one of the rooms two wardrobes 'there was a picture and a link to what she did for the bio everyone had to do when they were trying to get a room in this place but that was about it.'
'What did this Clarke girl say in her bio then,' Bellamy asked rubbing his hands on the mattress nervously as he spoke.
'She didn't say what cast she is,' Octavia said meaningfully turning to face him.
'Come on O,' he said defensively 'you're an Alpha and if she is too that would be a problem for you, I'm just worried that's all.'
'You know Alphas can be friends with other Alphas Bellamy,' she countered still not looking happy with him 'not everyone is quite as traditional as you are.'
'Hay, that's not fair,' Bellamy almost growled pushing himself up off the mattress 'if I wasn't willing to break with tradition I wouldn't have said OK when you said you wanted to live here while you're at college.'
'I'm sorry Bell,' Octavia sighed clearly regretting her words 'I shouldn't have said that I know you don't keep all of the old ways and I understand how hard that can be for an Alpha like you but you can be a little overly traditional sometimes you have to see that.'
'Of course I do,' Bellamy said sighing himself closing his eyes trying to rain in his temper his emotions were already up this close to solstice so it didn't take much to set him off. After a minutes silence he opened his eyes he could still feel his blood pumping and he imagined his sent must be marking everything in this room but he had a greater sense of control now. 'I know I can be traditional O,' he continued 'but it doesn't mean I'm wrong a lot of Alphas when they meet another Alpha will want to take control and I don't want that to happen to you.'
This actually made Octavia smile 'Bellamy I don't think that will happen but even if it did, I think I would be the one coming out on top.'
'I'm sure you would O,' he smiled 'but I'm your big brother I'm never going to not worry about you.'
'That's nice, but,' Octavia began smiling herself however before she could finish the door to the room opened putting a stop to their conversation. They both turned to face whoever was coming and Bellamy readied himself to face down an Alpha if he needed to but as it turned out what he had been scared of wasn't the problem they were going to have here.
There was an Alpha on the other side of the door but if Bellamy had to guess she was the mother of this Clarke girl who he would also guess was the pale skinned blue eyed blond standing next to the Alpha. She was wearing a baggy blue jumper and loose genes which covered almost all of her skin, if she was also taking the right meds and using certain other products normally this would mean her sent would be masked. However Bellamy wasn't an ordinary Alpha so however masked it might be he smelled the vanilla and fermented scent coming in to the room singling to him however much she might be trying to hide it Clarke was an Omega.
Clarke
The smell was intense there was the mix of musk and woody smells Clarke always smelt coming off Alphas but there was something more there was a fermented fruit kind of smell mixed in there as well and that was what had her almost holding her breath. Looking in to the room Clarke saw that there was a boy and a girl in there both of them dark haired dark eyed and just generally dark. There clothes were dark too the boys lose short sleeve shirt was black and his tight fitting genes were a dark grey colour, the girl had on a short equally dark grey skirt that paired nicely with the black leather of the boots she had on and a navy blue vest top. If the smells hadn't been enough everything about these two said they were Alpha's probably siblings Clarke would guess from how similar they looked which probably meant there mum was an Omega which was another reason for Clarke to feel uncomfortable.
But she wasn't going to let that stop her, everything in this room might be triggering her Omega instincts to submit especially with mister tall dark and handsome in there who was making a certain voice in her head louder and louder but she wasn't an ordinary Omega. Even if she was Clarke had grown up learning how to mask what cast she was and this wouldn't be the first time she fooled someone so being as assertive as she could she walked forward in to the room laying her bags down on what was to be her bed she turned to the dark haired girl 'I'm Clarke,' she introduced outstretching a hand 'you must be Octavia.'
'And you must be Clarke;' the girl smiled taking her hand and shaking it 'I've been looking forward to meeting you.'
'So have I,' Clarke smiled back as their hands broke apart judging from her pleased relaxed expression she didn't think Octavia could tell what she was. Octavia probably thought she was a Beta if she had to guess as a lot of Alphas did when they first met Clarke which she'd wager was what Octavia had been hoping her roommate would be. 'Is this your brother,' she asked looking over a mister tall dark and handsome who seemed to be studying her like he was trying to figure something out about her.
'Is it that obvious,' Octavia laughed 'yeah this is Bellamy my over protective big brother,' she continued patting her brother on the shoulder.
'Pleasure to meet you,' Clarke smiled outstretching her hand towards him forcing her expression in to a greeting and freely expressive one. If he did have doubts about her she needed to put them to rest right now so whatever her instincts and that voice in her head might be trying to get her to do she needed to meet Bellamy in an equal way.
Bellamy was still for a minute not letting anything a way but then a slight smile curled across his face and he took her hand in his, shaking her hand in a motion that rubbed his palm on hers as well as her wrist 'it's nice to meet you to.'
Unsure what that meant Clarke made to move her hand out of Bellamy's grip which did take some pulling but he did let go which again was something Clarke was unsure what to make of. Turning to the door with thought of introducing her mum she did so just in time to see her mum putting what she had been carrying down and walk away back down the corridor 'mum,' Clarke almost shouted rushing after her a fair idea of what she was looking to do in her mind.
'There's got to be a way to change your room,' her mum said once Clarke caught up 'we are going to go find the office and request a room change.'
'What are you talking about,' Clarke asked taken aback by the slightly frantic look in her mums eyes even though she knew what the answer would be.
'That room reeked Clarke,' her mum said her voice getting louder now 'those two are clearly not holding anything back and you will not.'
'Can you please not make a scene,' Clarke whispered quickly cutting across her mum not letting her finish, aware people passing by them were looking.
'I'm not making a scene,' her mum countered but thankfully she said this in a normal way 'it's just we have worked too hard for this and I don't want you to be distracted by anything, we both know Alphas could be a problem for you.'
'Mom,' Clarke sighed 'this is me that were talking about, they probably have no idea what I am, can you please just trust me, it'll be fine I promise.'
Her mum didn't look completely convinced but Clarke could see she was calming down and letting this go 'OK fine,' she said after a few minutes strained silence 'you go back there and start unpacking then and I'll go check we didn't miss anything in the car.
Breathing a sigh of relief Clarke turned on her foot as her mum started walking away and headed back to what was going to be her room for the foreseeable future. Getting back there she found Bellamy standing outside with the door closed wearing a denim jacket with a rather cocky smile spread across his face 'don't worry,' he began as she reached him 'you've got my sister fooled and I'm not going to be the one to tell her.'
'What are you talking about,' Clarke frowned feeling that smell of fermented fruit begin to attack her nostrils again as well as a cold dread feeling begin to spread through her body.
'My sister doesn't realise you're an Omega, princess,' Bellamy responded still smiling that cocky smile 'she told me after you left how happy she was that her roommate was going to be a Beta, like I said though I'm not going to be the one to tell her princess.'
Clarke gritted her teeth now pushing through the effect his sent was having on her feeling anger replace her dread this ass whole had figured out what cast she belonged to somehow and now he was mocking her. 'Don't call me princess,' she hissed 'and just so we're clear I'm not like other Omegas, I'm not some girl you can just order around.'
'O I can see that princess,' Bellamy said still smiling 'and don't get a head of yourself I'm not interested in you either I just thought it would be best that you know I know.
'That's not what I meant,' she spat back offended that was where Bellamy's mind had gone.
'Sure it wasn't,' he snigged still mocking her 'however princess I was serious about not telling my sister,' Clarke opened her mouth to challenge this point but Bellamy cut across her 'unless you want to go tell Octavia you're an Omega of course or shall this be our little secret?'
Clarke wanted to slap Bellamy in this moment if just for the way he was talking to her she might be an Omega and there was a part of her that was saying she should take the Alphas kind offer but there was another part of her that wanted to challenge Bellamy and make him submit. Both voices represented strong forces within her but however much Clarke might want to give in to her inner Alpha her common sense told her on this point her inner Omega was right, she didn't want any more people knowing which cast she belonged to so she had to do this.
'I want this to be our little secret, please Alpha,' Clarke said through gritted teeth making a deliberate choice to use Bellamy's cast to refer to him.
'Of course we can do that Clarke,' Bellamy smiled 'we don't have to ever talk about it again, unless you want too off course.'
Clarke scowled up at him as way of a response but she was also surprised by his choice of words there. She had expected him to call her princess again or Omega even like most Alphas who had just got an Omega to submit would, but he had used her name using a name was a sign of respect it spoke of equality between the two of them something that an Alpha like Bellamy shouldn't believe was there. Bellamy was clearly an ass and an Alpha who was unapologetic about his behaviour but Clarke felt like there might be a little more to him than he was letting on right now.
Well there we are as I said this is my first time trying to write something like this so I would appreciate if people could review and tell me if they think I got things off to a good start.
