Erica's Prespective.
I woke up that morning, I had several text messages from Jessica, I must have fallen asleep.
I read through them all and seeing her say that she legitimately loved me was something else.
Never had someone that I was dating say that to me.
I had a busy day ahead of me, I had to visit my parents, then go out on another date with David.
Which I wasn't overly keen on.
My Parents approved of David, mostly because he was an Alpha, and my fathers friend is the owner of the company we work at.
So I call it an arranged marriage, which is never going to happen, yuck.
I'm not attracted to David, not even the smallest bit, yes to people he is good looking, to me he looks revolting.
I've never slept with an Alpha Male before, and I've tried Alpha Females, even some Omega females.
Nothing about any Male, makes me feel excited.
Until Jessica walked into my life, I heard a lot of Beta's say that destiny is what guides them to their future partner, is that what's happened here?
I had my shower, did my morning workout, ate breakfast and left the house for the day.
I still hadn't replied to Jessica, I quickly sent her a short message saying that I fell asleep last night.
She replied and said it was Okay.
My Parents lived outside of Ritten City, on a very wide open property that was built like a small fortress.
This is how my life is, when you're from the family who is probably the most powerful family in the entire country of Estio.
I drove myself up the gravel driveway and to the front gate, swiped my entry card and waited for the gate to slowly open.
The surrounding fence was a cobblestone wall, on the inside of the compound was a very kaponese (Japanese) looking garden, according to my father, the Kouro Clan in The small island nation of Kapon was the most in harmony with Wolves in the world. So he had the whole area modelled from one of the last existing members of the Kouro Clan.
On each of the four cobblestone walls that surrounded the main house, there were plaques, each one containing a photo or illustration of family members that had come before us. Usually it was accompanied by a photo or illustration of the day they were born, and a photo in their late teens when they first found out they were an Alpha.
It had information as to the day they were marked by their partner and who their partner was.
Which day they were born and when they died.
My Fathers belief is that keeping a photo of the deceased on the wall makes the deceased revert back to their younger selves after death.
I parked my car and my mother came out to greet me.
"Hello dear." My mother said as she came out.
She dressed the same way I did, in a business dress, never any different.
"Hello Mother." I said as I got out of the car and gave her a hug.
"How have you been?" She asked me.
"I've been well, thanks for asking." I said to her.
"How's everyone doing with the loss of Grandad?" I asked her.
"It was very heartbreaking for your Father, but he's mostly recovered now." She told me.
A few weeks ago, my Grandad passed away. That was the last time I saw my family at the giant funeral that was held for him.
People from all over the world in the major Alpha Pair Families came to visit.
"Can I speak with him?" I asked.
"He's in his office, you can go try if you want." She said to me with a smile, I took my shoes off before entering the house and made my way inside.
The house was very similar to my own, very clean, very modern. Three Stories high.
I walked up the flight of stairs and up the hallway.
My dad usually spent most of his time in his office.
I knocked on the door, and entered immediately afterwards.
"Hello Erica!" My dad said as he seemed overjoyed to see me, enough that he got out of his chair and came over to me with a big hug.
"Hello Father." I said to him as I hugged him back.
"How are you feeling?" He asked. "You seem stiff."
"You need to flow like water." He said to me.
"You need to flow like water." I said to him, mimicking him at the same time.
"I've taught you very well." He said to me, he was very proud.
"I've come here to talk to you about something." I said to him.
"Whatever it is, I'm here for you." He said to me.
"Yeah well, I want you to call up your friend and tell him I don't want to continue to see David after tonight." I said outright to him.
"If that's what you want." He said to me.
"I've grown lost with David anyway, he clearly isn't strong enough to seduce my daughter, toughest all around." He laughed.
"I'll tell my friend immediately, thank you for coming to me with this." He said to me.
This was unusual. My father never acted like this.
He should be ripping my head off for even suggesting this.
"Are you sure you're alright with this father? I don't want to offend you." I said as I was suspicious of his intentions.
"Erica, my dearest daughter, If I had the ability to capture the world, I would give it straight to you." He said to me.
"Ever since my father died, I've been waiting for the moment to shake up this family, we cannot evolve any further unless we start to cooperate with the rest of the world." He told me.
"Here, look at this." He said as he walked to the bookcase, pulling out a very old book.
"This is the entire family tree of our ancestors." He told me.
When I leave this earth and my body is cremated, I will give all of this to you my dear, you are the strongest child I have, even your brother knows that.
"Yes, thank you for trusting me, father." I said to him.
He opened the book on his office table.
