Chapter 154: We all drink the Mr. Beckett is cool juice here
The two other ladies in the department were both betas as well. Andrew would be the first alpha in the department since it was formed. He held more status because he was also a true alpha, and Andrew had hated that at first.
Until everyone explained that it was an asset.
Unlike Andrew, most true alphas hated being involved with research. They would avoid human trials, would ignore requests, even if they were threatened. They were afraid that anyone would consider that something was wrong with them. True alphas normally had a rather toxic, unhealthy view of their secondary sex.
While Andrew didn’t dodge that, his viewpoint was in a completely different direction. He hated being a true alpha because of his father, so he was open to viewing that something might be wrong with his condition and he might need help.
Whereas other true alphas felt the pressure of society on their shoulders to be perfect. Nothing could be wrong with them, everything had to be just right. Andrew thought that was ridiculous, always had, always would. Every human was flawed. It was part of being human. Andrew would argue that if someone was too perfect, that they weren’t human.
Obviously, this didn’t apply to Maxwell. Maxwell was a perfect darling angel. Even if he was a fallen one.
Hearing it from the researchers did really help Andrew though. It was just another puzzle piece that slotted into his new world.
Either way, they obviously weren’t going to force him into anything. It was against what they stood for, and Andrew couldn’t tell them how relieved hearing them say that, several times throughout the day. It was a mantra, but it didn’t feel like a reminder.
More like, we’ll never cross that line.
Andrew knew that Maxwell wouldn’t have told them about his trauma, nor what happened to him, but it was a little eerie to have them nail his concerns on the head so quickly, and so easily.
Richard was a great guide, just like Maxwell. He took Andrew on a tour of the research departments, and also pointed out the areas he should probably avoid. While they were out and about, he did meet the head of the omega department.
