Beta Complex

faketears
Ethan is a hard working and dedicated beta who dropped out of college to help his mother's restaurant succeed. Unable to sense pheromones like an omega or an alpha, he's set to live a normal life with no complaints. However, after helping a dominant alpha named Zander not once, but twice, Ethan finds himself at the center of his attention. Between a needy alpha and taking care of his mother's restaurant, Ethan finds his hands full. It only gets worse when an illegal drug emerges, transforming regular betas into a different dynamic. As society battles the controversy of this new ‘medicine’, all Ethan wants to do is go back to his normal life, but he doubts Zander will ever let him go as his obsession reaches new heights. *** Ethan crouches down and lifts his hand to the man's face only for him to be slapped away. “I said fuck off.” Ethan ignores him and reaches for his face again. When the man goes to slap him, Ethan is prepared. He grabs his other hand, and then grabs a fistful of his sweat soaked hair and yanks it up. The man groans, eyes clenched shut. “Dang, they really beat you huh?” Ethan murmurs. His left cheek has a deep cut that bleeds, his nose is swollen and bruised, and blood drips from out of his hair. The man opens his eyes with a wince and pauses as Ethan continues to assess his injuries. “Probably need stitches.” Done with his examination, Ethan finally looks him in the eyes. “Oh.” He says in surprise. The man's eyes are a bright green, almost glowing in the dark alleyway. How pretty. “You a beta?” The guy asks, his voice hoarse, his gaze glued to Ethan’s face. “Well, you certainly aren't one.” Ethan frowns at the purple ring around the green of his iris. He's an alpha alright. A dominant alpha. “You a beta?” The alpha asks again. Ethan drops his hand from the man's hair, letting it flop back down and covering his deep green eyes. “Yes, I'm a beta.” Ethan answers.

RESIDENT EVIL PHANTOM GENESIS – REQUIEM

For five years, the world believed the Ghost was dead. Following the eradication of Mother Miranda and the destruction of The Connections, Alen Wesker—the natural-born son of Albert and Alex Wesker, and the ultimate biological anomaly—retreated into the shadows. Living in secret at the frozen Shaolin sanctuary of Mount Song, China, Alen has traded his bloody crusade for the quiet life of a father and husband. Held together by a surgically implanted CIED pacemaker to regulate his scarred heart, and wielding a lethal, state-of-the-art black-and-gold titanium prosthetic arm, Alen thought his war against the ghosts of Umbrella was finally over. He was wrong. When his AI, Trinity, intercepts highly classified FBI and CIA data packets, the fragile peace of the Lotus Temple is shattered. A terrifying new bio-hazard is emerging in the American Midwest, distressingly close to the ashes of Raccoon City. Victims are being found with rapid, post-mortem necrosis, bleeding yellow irises, and symptoms that defy all known T-Virus or Mold pathology. The government is burying the outbreaks under a black-ops initiative known only as Project Elpis (Hope). But the true catalyst for Alen’s return is the identity of the first victim: Alyssa Ashcroft, a veteran investigative journalist and legendary survivor of the 1998 Raccoon City incident. Alyssa was one of the few to synthesize and inject the original "Daylight" vaccine—a permanent cure to the T-Virus that permanently altered her genetic code. Now, her murder points to a horrifying reality: the architects of Project Elpis are harvesting the Raccoon City survivors. And their next target is Alyssa’s daughter, Grace Ashcroft, an active FBI technical analyst who is being deliberately kept in the dark by corrupt Bureau superiors. Grace’s blood holds the inherited Daylight antibodies—the genetic key required to stabilize the Elpis pathogen and unleash a perfect, symbiotic nightmare upon the globe. With Chris Redfield and the Hound Wolf Squad preparing to assault the region loud and blind, Alen knows a military hammer will only cause the conspirators to burn the evidence. The situation requires a scalpel. Defying the strict medical warnings of his wife, Dr. Rebecca Chambers, Alen steps back into his black tactical gear. Armed with his silenced weaponry, his mind-hacking "Cognitive Dominion," and his devastating cybernetic arm, the Ghost deploys to the epicenter of the conspiracy: the abandoned Wrenwood Hotel. Operating purely in the shadows, Alen must outmaneuver the corrupt FBI task force, trace the legacy of the Daylight vaccine, and uncover the mastermind behind Project Elpis. He is not there to arrest anyone. He is there to protect Grace Ashcroft, dismantle the conspiracy from the inside out, and execute the final architects of Umbrella's sins before the dawn. The Ghost is back. And God help anyone hiding in the dark.
