thousands of years ago...

"I want to feel like an Alpha."

The Luna looked at her creator, her mother, the Omega to all who looked only at his husband. Her father, the Alpha to all who looked at him in shock.

"Luv..." Her father breathed her mother's name, standing up as he looked down at him. She watched his hand cradle his face and she waited for him to tell him that wasn't possible.

They were the Luna's to all. To keep the balance, they existed to keep everyone in line. For everyone to have someone to pray to, to someone like them.

Luv was the Luna to all Omegas, and it was not possible for him to be anything else.

"Mother, I am sorry to impede, but you can't," She spoke up, watching as he looked at her, "You both taught me this. The way things are, are perfect. If you change the way you are, you change the way things are for all Omegas. That throws off the already maintained and perfect balance."

Luv looked away from his daughter and back at his Mate. His Alpha, Primus, the first Alpha to ever be.

He grinned at him, ignoring Luna's statement as he came closer to him. "I will still be an Omega, that won't change. I just would like to take control over some things, that's all."

"But mother-."

"Like what?"

Luna looked on at her father in shock, watching as he was completely enamored by Luv. His light green eyes that entranced him and wanted to give in to everything his Omega wanted.

He knew what he was asking for was risky, but he couldn't help himself. All he wanted to do was do anything that could make his Omega happy.

"I want to be..." Luv pursed his lips, glancing over at Luna as she watched on nervously.

That's when he leaned into Primus' ear, wrapping his arms around his neck. He drew him into his body as they perfectly molded to another.

Luna looking away shyly to see her parents in such a way. She trusted her father's choices and knew he wouldn't let him throw off the balance.

"I want to be an Omega of domination," Luv murmured into his ear, causing chills to go down Primus' spine as he began to pull back quickly. Only for Luv to bring him right back and hold onto him tighter, inhaling his scent. "Is it so wrong...? To want to be something different?"

"Of course not, but your changes affect everyone else. The balance can't be altered as it perfectly suits everyone below. Think reasonably-."

"I am!"

Luv pulled back sharply, glaring at Primus who looked at him sadly. He saw Luna still avoiding to look at them as he didn't want their daughter to see her mother this way.

"Please, come with me, let's talk privately." Primus reached for Luv's hand, only for him to yank it back.

He looked up at Primus' with narrowed eyes, nodding. "Beg for me to."

"I beg you, my Luv, come with me to talk privately, please?"

Instantly, Luna stood up as she looked at them both. Her breathing heavy with anger to hear Luv speak that way to her father. Only to be disturbed that as an Alpha, Primus did such a thing. Embarrassed by both of their choices, she lowered her head as she excused herself first.

Leaving them both together as Luv brought Primus' hand to his stomach, the both of them looking down. "I can feel him...he gives me so much power. He makes me want to be more than this pathetic version of myself that suits the position of an Alpha. I deserve to be more than a trophy."

"You aren't a trophy. You are my world, personified. It's not you standing beside me, I stand beside you." Primus breathed, watching Luv begin to smile as he looked off. Only for Primus to have him face him again, in awe of his smile. "Our son...deserves to see what love truly is. I will give you everything you wish for and more. If being an 'Omega of Domination' is what you seek, I will let you be."

Luv's smile began to grow, his eyes brightening as he rushed into Primus. Hugging his chest, he began to think of all kinds of things he could do to make himself and other Omega's more powerful.

"But," Primus spoke up, gripping Luv's shoulders as he squeezed them softly, "only to me. I can't let you throw off the balance, Luna is correct. Less harm and change will be done if you just show that side to me."

In that moment, Luv yanked back from Primus. As he looked up at him in disgust to him not giving him what he felt he deserved. His eyes looking him up and down as Primus tried to bring him back against him.

Only to pull away from him, whipping his head from off of him and folding his arms. "I didn't have to ask you. I asked you because you're my Mate. If I want to be what I said I wanted to be, I will be! Why do I need to be some pathetic version of myself when I feel deep down that I can be so much more? Our son...Luka, shows me that."

"Luka?"

Luv nodded, cradling his stomach that barely showed.

"He is going to be a force greater than all of us combined. He speaks to me, here," Luv taps his temple, biting his lip as he became more excited at the thought, "He shows me what I can be, what I deserve to be. I have never had these thoughts until him, but it's because I didn't know there was anything more to what we already were. Luka shows me...that an Omega can be so much more. I can be so much more. You know that is true."

"I know nothing of that way of thinking. Luka is just an incomplete child, how can he speak to you-?"

"He does! Are you calling me a liar?!" Luv shouted in Primus' face, only for Primus to lower himself to him.

Sitting on his knees, he wrapped his arms around his hips and brought him close. Hugging his body, Luv looked down at his Alpha who submitted himself to him. A smile growing to his lips as he gripped his shoulder.

"I am not, I would never. It was just a question, my Luv. If you truly believe you deserve what you say you do, I don't want to stand in the way of that; but I implore to you that you only show me that side. I don't want to disrupt anything because of your wants, this isn't a need. I will let you have your want, with me." Primus looked up into his eyes, grinning as Luv glared down into his. "Yes, my Luv? Can you do that for me?"

Only for Luv to suddenly grin, leaning down as he pressed his lips to his. Both of their eyes open onto each other as Luv pulled back some, their lips brushing.

"I...don't take orders from those who submit themselves to me. I'm your 'Omega of Domination'." Luv smiled, and instantly from his smile alone, Primus lost all ability to think rationally.

He from then on, didn't question any of Luv's actions for a long time.

The one who did and who wasn't swayed by pheromones or looks, was their daughter, Luna.

Over the course of a few months, the balance was quickly thrown off. She waited for her father to speak up and say something, but he did nothing.

She watched him become a shell of his former self. An Alpha, was now lower than the Omega he sought to protect. He gave into everything her mother did, and when he finally had the strength to confront him, it'd all be lost by a smile or pretty words.

Not to mention the pregnancy. Luna could feel the child inside of him. The child that oozed power and radiated without even being seen.

Nothing was being done to fix the damage her own mother was creating because of his selfishness. And because of her father's need and love to give him everything, to be his everything... It was ruining it all.

And she couldn't take it anymore.

When she finally spoke to her father, face-to-face, it was a sad exchange. The both of them looking at one another as she saw how broken her father was. As he looked on at everyone below...the chaos and the off-balance.

Except he didn't want to do a thing, because it would go against his Luv. He wanted to let him be this 'Omega of Domination', but it was beginning to be at the cost of everyone else too.

Yet he wanted to end it, but didn't want to hurt Luv.

He'd rather give Luv what he wants than anything else. And he knew, that that was a problem.

"Father...I implore you," Luna grabbed her father's hand as he looked down, avoiding her gaze in shame, "Mother isn't well. If you let him continue on this way, the whole balance of all the worlds and realities will be thrown off entirely - destroyed. They will destroy one another like mother is destroying you. You have to understand that it's not normal...what he's doing."

"He..." Luna watched her father, the Alpha over all, losing himself. His once charming and dominant personality became weak. He was becoming submissive and lacked all the traits an Alpha should have. "He is just doing what he's always wanted to do. I can't tell him that he can't be dominant. If he wants to be like an Alpha, who am I to say no-?"

"He's the Luna over all Omegas! The imbalance is already showing in how Omegas are beginning to behave. There isn't anything wrong with wanting something, but you told me this...we don't have that luxury. What do we truly need? What we want is irrelevant if it comes at stake of those people. There can't be two of one thing, what we had was perfect. And now that mother is pregnant once again? He risks ruining everything!" She cried out, crouching before her father to look into his eyes.

Her heart broke to see him so quiet, unable to say a word. It infuriated her to know that the person who was ruining him was the one person who helped create her.

"Luka."

Luna turned around, seeing her mother walk towards them with a proud grin. His hands cradling the now large bump that held their son.

"What?"

"His name is Luka. I decided, it means the 'bringer of light'. While your name means the 'goddess of the moon'. I can feel his aura...he will be so strong, a strong and powerful being that surpasses all of us! It invigorates me-."

"Mother, please," Luna rushed to him now, standing before him as she dropped to her knees, her head pressed upon his feet, "don't make me make hard choices for the well being of the kind you two created. I am your daughter...your first born. You two taught me all I know and I wish to be as strong as you two. But don't...make me do this."

"And what is that?"

Luna looked up, seeing her mother glare at her. He walked around her and to his Alpha who stood up. She watched her father look down at him, but that same look didn't take over his face.

"My Alpha, your father, said what he said. I am just doing what I want to do, who is anyone to tell me to stop? And if you threaten me again, there will be consequences. How dare you speak to me that way? I'm also pregnant, do you have no shame?!" Luv raised his voice at his own daughter for the first time.

Luna looked on at him sadly, hurt by his way of speaking, actions, and choices. She looked back at her father who was already looking at her.

"Father...please?"

Only to see her mother, cradle his face and when he looked down at him, she knew he was gone. The way her mother looked back at her and looked at her like she was the problem...broke her.

She was just trying to protect what they created, what her father ultimately created.

When her father looked back at her, she saw the look in his eyes. The look...that told her what she needed. The look that gave her permission to...end this, because he couldn't.

And she was going to.

The day her mother gave birth, she sat some ways away. He held Luka in his arms, the baby who had the same bright green eyes as Luv. Primus looked down at him softly, only to look over at Luna.

She looked at him painfully as she stood up, and walking over towards them.

"May I?" Luna asks, reaching for Luka. Luv nodded as he let Luna hold him in her arms.

Holding her brother, she saw the way he looked at her. Just by holding him, she felt like she was holding something threatening...menacing. Someone that was reading her through and at that realization she set him down.

Only to turn back around and saw how furious her mother looked. Except her father was calm behind him, and she knew he was aware too...but accepting of it. He already knew this was coming.

"You little..." Luv sneered with so much hatred, for Luka had already told him everything she planned to do.

Just when he stood up and began to come towards her. She watched her father grab his wrist. Yanking him back against him, he pressed his lips to his deeply.

Luna watched her father kiss him with so much love. His hand hooking at the low of his back and bringing their bodies close. She saw her mother get lost in the kiss as he was trying to get away in the beginning, just to succumb to him.

When he pulled back, Luv stared up at him in a daze. His eyes staring within his.

"You...didn't ask me if you could do that first."

"I apologize."

"It's okay...just don't do that again without permission."

Luv turned away, only to remember what exactly he was trying to do in the first place. And just when he was going to, Primus' arms wrapped around him tightly.

Unable to break away, he looked at him in shock. Only to see him looking straight at their daughter.

"How...How dare you?!" Luv already knew what was happening as he began to hit and kick at Primus. Who remained still, he nodded at their daughter.

"Do it," Her father insisted, Luna's eyes watering as her mother continued to hit him, "if you don't, all of our kind will be ruined by his selfishness. I love them all too much for that, I love him too much to see him ruin himself and others, and I love you too much for you to see your parents ruin everything. It's my fault...I wasn't an Alpha at all... I don't even know what it feels like to be an Alpha anymore."

Tears streamed down her face as her mother hurled horrible and cruel things at him. Still hitting him, she looked over at her brother who slept soundly somehow. The aura radiating off of him was so overwhelming that it nauseated her.

He was going to ruin everything...but her mother had already begun that.

"And for that, I wish to be punished too. Because I didn't do anything, I was everything but what an Alpha should've been. I deserve to be punished too." He lowered his head as his arms tighten around his Omega.

"Let me go! I refuse! I am your Omega of domination, you listen to me at once! Listen to me!" Her mother shrieked into her father's face whose eyes were closed.

The more hatred he spewed, the more it made her hate her mother even more.

That's when she went to her father first, ignoring her mother who began to hurl hatred at her too.

"I...I hereby place you both into a continuum of living. You will be the kind you two created, forever bound. Father, your name will be Jeremiah - I will exalt you...I have always exalted you." She whimpers, her hands beginning to tremble as she didn't want to lose him. "You will always be an Alpha, but you will never truly understand what it's like to be one. You have...to figure that out for yourself once again. You will be stuck as the people you created until you find yourself once again. That is your punishment."

Luna let go of him, staggering back as she watched her father grin at her. She slowly could feel all of his power begin to fill her body as he gave it all to her.

In the process, she watched him fade before her eyes.

When she tried to do her mother, she found herself shoved so harshly that she fell onto the ground. Looking back at Luv, who looked at her in disgust.

"How dare you, you little, ungrateful swine! You have no right-!"

She watched her father wrap his arms around him tightly once again, forcing him onto his knees before her, she saw how much angrier that made him.

"Hurry..." Her father...Jeremiah breathed, slowly feeling him fade away. He could only hold him still for much longer before he was no longer attached to this realm anymore.

Before he was cursed to be his own kind he created, mortal and to die again, just to be born to the same fate.

Luna rested her hand on her mother's head, glaring down at him as she felt all of her hatred for him. And she could see all of the hatred he had for her because she was doing the right thing.

Unaware of the hold Luka had on him too.

"Mother, your name..." She drifted because she didn't want to give him anything. She wanted to end him for all he's done. He didn't deserve...this graciousness. "Your name will be Ivan, because of my graciousness- you don't die. I hate you for what you've done to us. You ruined everything and didn't listen to me! You took advantage of everything you had...and you still don't even realize what good you've ruined because you could no longer accept being an Omega. It's pathetic."

She watched her mother...Ivan's anger slowly fade. To hear her say she hated him...his own daughter, hurt him more than he realized.

He could feel his Mate, who was now Jeremiah, becoming weaker and weaker behind him. Feeling his arms slowly loosen from around him, he suddenly could hear him collapse behind him.

Except he didn't move, he stayed still as if he was still being held still.

"You will forever be what you hate, an Omega. You will never be able to truly be an Alpha because I will keep you from ever being one. Yet, you will continue to feel like you deserve to be an Alpha, I'll make sure of it. Only for you to be what you always were and meant to be, and Omega. You will have to truly come to terms of yourself once again, because no one can truly help you - but you. That is your punishment until you accept who you were meant to be. Not some...'Omega of Domination'." Luna pulled back from him, and watched him.

Her mother...Ivan, looked away from her and got up. Rushing to Luka as she began to feel immense jealousy.

Instead of trying to speak to her, he went to him. Bringing Luka as he laid him between her father and himself.

Her father...was already gone. His body slowly fading away into golden dust that flowed right through her.

Feeling all of his love and power that he gave her, it made her even more angry.

His only concern was for them three, it was like she meant nothing to him anymore. While she did all of this because she didn't want to lose them. And this is how he still treats her?

When her mother began to fade away, she rushed forward and took Luka from him. Watching as he sat up in a panic and tried to take him back, only to collapse back down.

For his legs were already fading away and he looked up at her in horror.

"You...will never see him again." She sneered, watching him begin to shriek out for him. Calling his name, and she could feel Luka beginning to burn up in her arms.

Felt like she was being set alight the longer she held him until she could no longer. Letting him go, he slowly floated to the floor. Where she saw him look at his mother who was already gone.

Both of her parents powers were hers...and now, she had to deal with him.

"You will ruin everything if I let you live. You're even more powerful than me still!" She sneered, looking down at him as Luka looked up at her.

Until she watched him disappear before her eyes. A bright wave of dust rushing her way as it consumed her, all of his power filling her body.

As Luka wanted to be with his parents too, he attached himself to their punishment. Eternally bound to his parents, forever.

While Luna stood there...realizing the truth of the matter.

She was now alone...and the Luna to all.

-back to their present-

"I know where Ivan is."

Jeremiah heard Tate's voice, but he didn't miss the panic within it.

"Where is he then?" He questioned him.

Because if he was lying and didn't actually know where he was and was just wasting his time? He was really going to be done with him then.

"With me," Tate uttered the first words nervously, Jeremiah instantly standing up from his seat as he went to his car, "in my house."
