The Beta Dominates Alphas

Kestrel was a beta, and an aggressive one that most folks didn't like much. The Empire had picked a future husband for her. This guy was pretty much perfect: born into a high-class family, good-looking, rich, nice, and the envy of everyone around. People were quick to start whispering. "Why did such a great guy end up with her? She can't even make tea right and she barely passed her cooking class." "He won't be able to put up with her for long." "Right, their love story is a train wreck waiting to happen." Hearing this stuff over and over, Kestrel started to think that she and her guy, Tarian, were doomed from the start. So, when Tarian showed up with a sweet and pretty girl, Kestrel pulled off her engagement ring and tossed it into the gutter. From that moment, Kestrel lived free and happy, like a bird soaring in the sky, a fish swimming in the wide ocean. But a few years into her easy-going life, at a royal shindig, Tarian cornered her. His eyes were all red, and he confessed that he was sorry for everything and that he couldn't stop thinking about her. But Kestrel, wild as ever, wasn't interested in going back to her old life. Tarian turned white, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't care what you're like, and I can handle your shortcomings. You won't find a more understanding alpha than me." "Well, I already have a new alpha." To totally shake him off, Kestrel made up a name on the spot. She quickly thought of all the alphas she'd met on the battlefield over the years, and chose the name of a buddy she was tight with, guessing he wouldn't mind. "He's a good listener, and we're a perfect fit. Plus, he really likes me and doesn't care about my mistakes." Right after a bummed-out Tarian took off, Kestrel turned around and smacked right into the guy she'd just made up. This guy, a real war hero who'd taken down tons of enemies, turned a bit pink, looked away, and muttered, "You... when did you figure out that I have a crush on you?"

Polluted Zone Five

As the sun came up, Kestrel stood by her room window, holding a hot mug of tea, and watched the city wake up. The dorm was old, with chipped paint on the door and window frames, and a small wooden bed. But, the room was clean and had new stuff. Plus, it had an amazing view of the foggy sea far off.

The hot water in her mug was brought by the alphas in the morning. The tea in it was a present from Birdie, who said she got the wild leaves from cliffs herself.

Back in the Tower, there was always hot water, and the tea made by the housekeepers was really fancy.

But, Kestrel found this mug of wild tea much tastier. Maybe it was because they were picked from cliffs.

Kestrel wiped the foggy window with her sleeve and looked down. The people living near the outpost were packed in tight, their run-down houses all squished together. Far off, a big wall surrounded these homes and a tiny watchtower.

Even though it was early, the nearby streets were already buzzing.
