A new inspiration suddenly came to me: I want to write a queen taking the lead, so the original blurb may change.
(1)
On B17, a desolate, remote world crawling with bandits, the first thing fourteen-year-old, still-undifferentiated Aier thought about every morning was survival.
She struggled on without knowing why, or else she would be killed for being too weak. Aier believed those were her only two choices, until she unexpectedly found a girl in that eternally gray world who clearly did not belong there, like a greenhouse rose misplaced in the wilderness.
"Were you kidnapped too?" asked Yiwesi, her hands tied behind her back by the bandits, yet still bravely holding back her tears. "Would you like some candy?"
Candy? For me?
Feeling the unfamiliar sweetness in her mouth, Aier, a boy who was always silent and expressionless, hesitated before speaking. "...Do you want me to help you get out of here?"
She had no idea how to respond to the first kindness she had ever encountered.
Carrying the girl, who was about her own age, Aier kept out of sight. Even when they were later surrounded by a disciplined, neatly dressed group of star pirates, she still did not abandon Yiwesi and flee alone.
"Your name is Aier?" Surrounded by his people, the man called "Father" lifted the feverish Yiwesi and offered an invitation to the blood-soaked girl at his feet.
"If you want to leave this place, come with me."
That night, Aier, once an orphan, gained not only a family, but also a young lady she had to protect.

Yiwesi is an omega.
An omega who is doted on and carefully protected, but also fragile and powerless.
Yet she has no memory of her own differentiation. For some reason, she is terrified of explosions, the smell of gunpowder, and all alphas, especially their scent.
When she was imprisoned by her half-brother and tormented by the mindless beasts surrounding her until she could barely breathe, the alpha who always stood at her father's side with a false smile suddenly appeared. Giving off a familiar scent, she tore the villain apart like a wolf.
Standing at a distance, watching Yiwesi clutch broken glass with trembling hands, Aier let the coldness fade from her eyes. Then, without a moment's hesitation, she pressed a dagger to the back of her own neck.
"Miss, please don't be afraid." Wiping away the blood, the half-crippled alpha tried to smile again and embraced her broken young lady.
Memories surged back, leaving Yiwesi with nothing but confusion. "Aier, stay. Stay by my side." Half-asleep, she smelled the scent slowly fading away and murmured her plea.
"Of course, Miss." The loyal alpha nodded, like a knight.
She would give everything: her strength, her neck, even her life.
"As you wish."
Alpha star pirate crew member Aier (powerful, emotionally detached, absolutely loyal): an atypical alpha who will later cut out her own gland for her young lady.
Omega heiress Yiwesi (gentle at first, then obsessive and possessive): she has dissociative amnesia and PTSD. Her personality will change after her traumatic memories return.
Author's notes:
- Happy ending, mutual healing.
- Atypical ABO. Alphas can cut out their glands and cannot mark others. During an omega's heat, the omega bites the alpha.
- Nothing else comes to mind yet. I'll add more later.
