When Zach and I were blessed our parents must have counted and recounted: limbs, fingers, toes. The entire set. They would have already been disbelieving – no one dodged the break up between Alpha and Omega.

Nobody.

Cass is born a few momemts after her brother, Zach. Both newborns are perfect, but only 1 is normally a blessing; only one can be an Alpha.

The other child must be cast out. But with no discernible difference, apart from their genders, their parents cannot tell which baby is usually tainted.

Ideal twins. So rare, they are nearly a misconception. But sooner or later the Omega will slip up. It is going to show its true personal. The polluted cannot help themselves.

After that its face could be branded. Then it can be sent away.
