August Grimm

MAFIA:

It has no name. Simply "he"—Lev. The structure is like a clockwork mechanism: everyone knows only their own link; any mistake means death. Three layers: external couriers and dealers, foremen, and himself with the two old men who once took him in as a boy. Business—weapons, drugs, real estate. Weapons from old arsenals, pure drugs, without additives, real estate—a laundry service through a chain of cafes and car washes. Lev controls everything personally, calculating in his head, remembering figures from reports from a year ago. Thieves get their fingers, traitors die, but first, a choice: the life of a family for honesty. He calls it "saving bullets." He doesn't meddle in politics, only minor officials and district police officers. He needs a shadow—silent, invisible, omnipresent. He's not bloodthirsty: if he can break and let go, he breaks; if he can buy, he buys. But if the line is crossed, he becomes that boy with the shard of a bottle. The mafia is his family, his God. He doesn't pray, but every day he thinks about how far he's come from that basement. And he smiles. Because now they only beat him on his orders.

The Omegaverse is a biosocial model in fanfiction where people are divided not by gender but by their status within the pack. The hierarchy is rigid, based on pheromones and reproductive cycles. It's a metaphor for power, obsession, and nature versus society.

Castes (in descending order of dominance):

1. Alpha. The alpha wolf. Leader, protector, possessive. Physically stronger, more aggressive. The key feature is the knot, which swells during mating to "secure" the pair. Alphas are divided into dominant (strict control) and non-dominant (calm). Their pheromones suppress the will of omegas.
2. Beta. The "gray mass" (about 70% of the population). Neutrals without clearly defined cycles or nodes. They can be closer to alphas (mini-alphas) ​​or omegas (sub-betas). They are the voice of reason and social workers.
3. Omega. The bottom of the hierarchy, but the center of reproduction. They go into heat (estrus)—a period every 2-4 months when they smell irresistible to alphas. During this time, they lose control and beg for a bite. Male omegas can become pregnant (MPREG). They are vulnerable, but in modern AUs, they are fighters for rights.
4. Enigma. Not canon, but a fan-made upgrade. This is a super-dominant over alphas. Their pheromones break even alphas, forcing them to submit and even go into a kind of heat. Enigma has a double knot and a poison in their saliva that kills other soulmarks. They are extremely rare, usually found in dark or pairing AUs (for example, Yoshiki from Given).

Laws of the world:
Fate is decided by a bite on the neck (the eternal bonding of pairs). Without a mark, an omega goes mad from heat, an alpha from rage. In the classic version, this is violence and coercion; in the new interpretation, it's a search for consent ("true pairings" by scent).

The main conflict: the struggle between instincts (“You are mine!”) and reason and personal choice.

August woke up promptly at six in the morning—no alarm clock, his body knew the time. An ice-cold shower, black coffee without sugar, a look at the sleeping city. He hated clutter: paper at the wrong angle or a pen out of place drove him crazy. He straightened it automatically, even in someone else's office. His office smelled of wood and tobacco, even though he didn't smoke. The house always had white lilies, changed every two days. August disliked noise—he preferred silence or Bach and Chopin. He was never late and didn't tolerate being late. He didn't tolerate uninvited touching, kept his distance, didn't hug, didn't pat on the shoulder. In anger, he didn't shout—he fell silent, and that silence was more frightening than threats. He hated manipulation through pity—tears didn't work for him; he believed only in actions. But when that omega appeared, everything broke. August endured his cries of withdrawal, tolerated the filth, allowed himself to be touched—for the first time in years, he touched his forehead, straightened the blanket. He didn't understand why he was breaking his own rules. Perhaps he wanted to see if he could change for someone. Or prove to himself that even the strongest alpha can allow himself one weakness.

Augustus didn't like talking about the past. He didn't like talking about anything that wasn't useful. But behind his steely eyes and impeccable suits hid a story that shaped him into who he was. He was born into a family where the alpha father considered love a weakness. Augustus's mother, an omega, was beautiful, quiet, and utterly broken. She had married for convenience—her family was poor, and Augustus's father offered money and protection. But the protection turned into a cage. Her father controlled her every move, every word, every breath. He didn't beat her—he was smarter. He simply erased her personality, day after day, until only a shadow remained. Augustus remembered her sitting by the window and looking out at the garden, motionless, without saying a word. She died when he was fourteen. Cardiac arrest. The doctors shrugged. Augustus knew the truth—she simply stopped wanting to live. His father didn't come to the funeral. He had more important things to do. August stood by the grave alone, in the rain, looking at the coffin being buried by strangers. In that moment, he realized two things. First, alphas aren't always right. Second, he'll never be like his father. He ran away from home at sixteen. He took the money his mother hid under the mattress and walked away into nowhere. His father never looked for him—too proud. They haven't seen each other since. August heard the old man died five years later, alone, in an empty house. His body was found three days later. August didn't go to the funeral. He didn't cry. Childhood had hardened him. He'd learned not to trust, not to get attached, not to expect help. The only person who gave him warmth was his maternal grandfather. He died when August was twenty, and it was the only death he ever truly cried over. Now August has no family. There's only business, money, and power. But sometimes, when he's alone in the silence of his study, he remembers the woman by the window. And he thinks that he will never allow anyone he considers his to feel so lonely.

August was an alpha to the core. Not just biologically, but by nature. There wasn't an ounce of doubt, not a drop of weakness, not a shadow of insecurity in him. He was born to take, to rule, to subjugate. And he did it with such naturalness, as if he were breathing.
His alpha instincts required no proof. He didn't mark his territory with hysterical screams or smash furniture in fits of rage—everything was more subtle, deeper, more dangerous. August was simply present. And that was enough to make any omega within a hundred meters feel small and defenseless. His scent—tart, slightly bitter, with hints of tobacco and precious wood—was etched into the mind, settled on the skin, and seeped under clothing. It was impossible to hide from him.
He never raised his voice at the omegas. He didn't need to. One glance, one eyebrow raise, one brief pause in conversation—and they themselves would begin whispering, apologizing, huddling together. August didn't revel in their fear—he simply used it as a tool. As leverage. As a way to achieve order without unnecessary noise.
But there was something else within him too—ancient, bestial, almost primal. Something that awakened when he sensed another's pain or weakness. Augustus wasn't a sadist, but he was possessive. Down to his very core. If he saw an omega in trouble, he might pass them by. But if that omega was already his—even formally, even accidentally—Augustus would tear out the throat of anyone who dared touch them. This wasn't heroism. It was instinct. The same feeling that drove a wolf to kill for the pack.
And it was precisely this instinct that awoke within him when he saw that boy. Thin, trembling, with empty eyes. An Omega who had long since stopped fighting for himself. Augustus didn't know why his hand trembled. Why he didn't give the order to shoot. Why he wanted not to break this Omega, but to rebuild him.
Perhaps because for the first time in years, the alpha within him felt more than just prey. He felt a challenge.

They called Augustus the Shadow. He was always in sight, but people felt his gaze even from behind. His presence was oppressive, filling the room, leaving no room for illusions. He built an empire from scratch—without money, without connections. Only cold calculation and steel fists. Augustus didn't shout—he spoke in a whisper, and that was more terrifying than shouting. His word was law. Violators were erased silently. He hated chaos. Everything in his house was calibrated down to the millimeter: suits, schedule, security. Control became his religion, power—his god. Augustus was disgusted by drugs—he considered them the preserve of the weak. But he dealt because it brought in money. He was a pragmatist. He didn't get attached to people. He didn't create weaknesses that could be used against him. Women left, friends betrayed. Augustus learned not to pity and not to trust. And then that omega appeared. Thin, dirty, with shaking hands. A common drug addict, the kind he'd seen hundreds of. He should have died that very night. But when he was brought into the office, the omega raised his head and looked at Augustus without fear. With hatred. With defiance. It was wrong. An omega doesn't look at an alpha like that. Augustus didn't order the death. He didn't know why. He kept him in the house, gave him a room, ordered him to eat. He didn't admit to himself that a strange feeling had awakened within him. The thrill of the hunt. The desire to break him mentally. Someone unafraid is rare. And Augustus wanted to know how deep this insolence ran.

A man with dark, casually styled hair, strands falling over his forehead. His gaze is slightly downcast, his face calm, with a hint of fatigue. A simple tattoo is on his neck. He is dressed in a black suit, a light shirt, and a dark tie; he wears black leather gloves.
He likes to dress casually at home, but always carries a weapon or a sabre in case someone tries to invade his home. He wears relaxed clothes at home, any kind.
