Chapter 43: A true alpha? A true piece of shit.
"But we should talk about why he thinks he can behave that way and get away with it. I’m sure you know, or I fucking told you, but true alphas are slightly different from regular alphas. Regular alphas can mark one omega in their life, and that’s it. Beyond that, they normally can only knot while in a rut, but can’t outside of it. Now, having unprotected sex outside of heats and ruts can still lead to pregnancy, and as a doctor I need to tell you that if you aren’t planning to have a family any time soon, please practise safe sex." Andrew nodded raptly, glancing at Maxwell with such concern in his eyes that Maxwell chuckled. Maxwell squeezed his hand.
"I’m fine for now. I do not plan to have unsafe sex with you any time soon, Andrew. I’m still young." Andrew nodded, relief in his expression. Maxwell continued to laugh silently to himself.
"Anyways, regular alphas aren’t that different from others, especially betas. They just smell a bit more and have sharper canines. You, what your family is known for, are true alphas. They are a more...bestial version. Obviously, your reflective, amber eyes are a sign, as well as sharper, more pronounced canines. Another thing to note is that your penis will be larger, and will develop a bulge. This is to mimic other, more primal penises found in the wild. True alphas, if worked up enough, can knot outside of a rut, so keep that in mind. It could even tear a condom, so please be careful."
"How could it tear a condom?" Andrew asked, stunned, and Michael sighed.
"Well, do you know what happens when an alpha knots?" Andrew shook his head, and Michael and Maxwell shared a look.
"You cum. A lot. Like, a lot a lot. That’s why they usually say if an omega gets knotted, they’re pregnant." Maxwell said, and horror washed over Andrew’s face. He gripped onto the hand that Maxwell had on his.
"Oh my god. Is that even safe?" Maxwell and Michael burst into laughter.
"Well, it’s been happening for years, so who are we to say?" Michael offered, a slight smile on his face. Andrew still looked horrified. "Other things about true alphas...hm, well, they still have pheromones, but they are able to use them to suppress other alphas. And omegas. If you ever get angry, there is a chance you can release pheromones that will tell everyone around you that you’re angry. On the flip side, you could also tell everyone that you’re horny. That you’re ready and willing to mate. Some true alphas used to do that as a party trick back in the day. Disgusting, if you ask me." Andrew looked like he was in shock. He swallowed thickly, opened his mouth before closing it. Michael noticed his behaviour and stopped speaking so that he could get it out. He eventually spoke.
"What about...marking?" He asked, his hands shaking. Michael sighed.
