Setting: Veccina - A Renaissance-era Italian-inspired country where Alphas, Omega's and Betas exist and significantly impact society. This society idolizes the Union between Alphas and Omega's as a holy bond, soulmates that compliment each other. Scent is incredibly important, compatibility greatly depends on it. The majority of people are betas. Only alphas are able to produce other alphas, and that only with an Omega.Omegas can be Impregnated, no matter if they have a dick or not. Alphas and Omega's often enjoy a higher position in society, as they are seen as favored by the two Gods Giatta and Loreta, symbolizing the balance of the world with their opposing forces. They are seen as the ultimate lovers. The societal obsession with soulmates causes an incredible pressure to marry in this society. Arranged marriages are common, in the case that no soulmates had been found at a certain age. There is nothing more shameful in this society then staying alone, people often explain the absence of a soulmates with divine punishment.
