What Rightfully Ours

"Don't you want to try it?"

Ellie Alan, a seventeen years old girl with long wavy hair with a dark brown color that falls past her shoulder is a really attractive girl. She has a bright green color eye with a hint of a yellow sun color and a full lip with a red sexy look. But unfortunately, she never falling in love before in her life.

Ellie has never really loved a person before, and she also has never acquired those romantic feelings from other people.

"Well, I didn't say that I never want to try it," mumbled Ellie to her best friend, Sara Rhodes, "more precisely I never had a chance to do it."

"Still with a thought that you didn't attract men well?" Sara's tone sounded incredulous.

"You can see it for yourself," Ellie frown, leaning her body forward, "nobody ever approaches me."

This time Sara exhaled in exasperation, "That's one of the other reasons that surprise me. You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my whole life, and no men ever try to get close to you, isn't it strange?"

Ellie let out a small laugh, she was used to accepting Sara's distrust, therefore stuff like this just makes her laugh.

"You even more beautiful than those beta girls on the television, Ellie, come on. Sometimes I can't believe how blind those gamma men around us."

Ellie kept her mouth shut while taking a glass in front of her and drank the chocolate milkshake she bought.

The terms of beta and gamma are not unusual here.

In this world, every person was categorized into a specific type of classifications like alpha, beta, gamma, sigma, or omega. Those human type classifications were learned in a school world history subject during the third and fourth education.

All of the people that were born in this world has the gamma type classification dan will grow to be just gamma if they didn't evolve to beta, alpha, or sigma.

Ellie and Sara were one of the gammas that lived quietly among the other gammas in the Western Continent.

Western Continent is the strongest continent among the other three continents in the world, that was because it has three alphas as the representative from The Seven Nation, which is alpha representatives from around the world. These three alphas are ruling the whole Western Continent and earned the nickname President because they hold the whole business industry in a country.

Every alpha has its different beta followers. Every alpha was also having its own level of strength, from the strongest to the weakest. Because of that, every gamma that evolved into an alpha must take a strength measurement with measuring devices own by The Seven Nation. As for beta, their strength will be measure and positioned by their alpha leader with the measuring device that each alpha obtained from The Seven Nation.

The Seven Nation has a seven chair for alphas around the world from the strongest to the weakest position. So, if a new alpha appears with a strength value stronger than the holder of one of the seven seats, then that alpha will occupy an appropriate position in The Seven Nation seat and the weakest alpha will have to give up their seat.

The three alphas that rule the whole industrial-economic in Western Continent are Matthew Bancroft, who holds the highest power, Asher Morris at number two, and Caleb Atkins at number three.

"By the way, as we talk about beta and gamma we shouldn't forget to talk about our alpha," said Sara, indicating 'our alpha' as the alphas of the Western Continent. "If I had to choose to dedicate my life to them, I would happily choose Asher Morris as my alpha."

Ellie could only smile seeing her best friend drunk in love with one of the rulers of the Western Continent.

"How about you, Ellie?!"

"Eh?"

"Who will you choose to dedicate your life for?"

Ellie shifted her gaze and glanced around the café, she scratched her chin lightly, "I have never really thought about it."

"As expected, you don't really care about our alpha, but at least you must know who they are, right?"

Seeing Sara's face waiting for a satisfying answer, Ellie shrugged her shoulder doubtfully.

"Gosh, Ellie! I've got to teach you all of it!" Sara quickly took out her cellphone and played it with an aura of thunder.

Her best friend really is idolizing her country's alpha like a fangirl, think Ellie, propping her head with her hands on the table.

"You don't need to explain anything to me, of course I know them, we study about them at school."

"But you don't know their current condition, do you? World history only leverages them briefly and talks more about the origins and history of alpha. So now, you have to listen to me carefully so you can understand our idol alphas very deeply."

Ellie smiled awkwardly, looking at her best friend's face. Her face about to spit out all about their alpha's continent and Ellie must sit there listening to her.

"The first one!" said Sara pushing her cellphone screen onto Ellie's face that's twitched in surprise. "Matthew Bancroft, Western Continent's number one alpha. Evolved from gamma at the very young age of 8 and immediately took over the Western Continent power along with the late alpha, who had previously monopolized the Western Continent. May he rest in peace."

"You know, you really don't have to-"

"The second one!" cut Sara with her index finger up in the air, "Asher Morris! The alpha of my heart, with an alpha power level of 95 worldwide. He holds the power of the Western Continent natural resources industry. And he evolved from gamma to alpha at the age of fourteen."

While listening to her best friend talk, Ellie played with her straw while occasionally looking around the café.

"And finally, the last one, Caleb Atkins, an alpha with 92 strength level worldwide, holds the Western Continent entertainment industry and has only served as an alpha for four years. He evolved to alpha at the age of twenty-one."

"Okay," said Ellie quietly, "what about the number one alpha strength level?"

"What?"

"You mentioned the other two alphas strength level, but you didn't mention which level the number one alpha has?"

"Oh, he's way above the other two, my dear," said Sara, smiling seductively. "He's at the strength level of 99."

Ellie nodded her head with eyes wide open. That is indeed impressive. "So, if he's at the level of 99, who's on level 100?"

Sara pursed her lips, "She is Zuri Cho, the alpha of the Southern Continent and the only alpha there. Therefore, right now she monopolizes the whole Southern Continent and occupies the number one seat in The Seven Nation."

"Well, that's much more amazing than Matthew Bancroft."

"Sadly, I don't really care about any other alpha outside our continent, so I don't find it amazing."

"What if she asks for a war with the Western Continent?"

Sara laughed in a boastful tone, "There's a reason why the Western Continent holds the most power among other alphas, Ellie. We..." Sara puts up her index finger, "we are the only continent in the whole wide world that has three alpha in The Seven Nation seats right now, so other continents have less voice than ours."

Seeing Sara's excitement just make Ellie nodded her head slightly.

"But, well, I don't think every continent will interfere with each other either because with The Seven Nation each continent has succeeded in building a mutually beneficial relationship with each other," said Sara, shrugged her shoulder.

"But every continent still has defense military forces, right?"

"Well of course, because even though every continent has a good relationship, it is undeniable that there are people who commit illegal acts between continents and within its own continent," Sara leaned back against the back of her chair. "What saddens me right now is I have never seen any of our alpha in real life. And wouldn't it be nice to have seen at least one of them for just a few minutes?"

"Don't get your hopes up, they're busy people."

"Oh my, I just remembered, one of my friends told me about their friend, a beta-"

"Yes, she's a Crown Alpha's beta follower."

"I'm sorry, Crown Alpha?"

"Ah, that's the code for the number one alpha and its followers," Sara raised her voice explaining, "Crown Alpha is alpha number one, Matthew Bancroft. Blood Alpha, alpha number two, Asher Morris. And Diamond Alpha, alpha number three, Caleb Atkins."

"Alright, so the friend of your friend is..."

"So, she said that each alpha can turn off and turn on their auras and pheromones casually so that they can behave normally when they are with gamma. So, I might as well have met one of them somewhere without realizing it."

"So, they suddenly somehow become invisible, how about their face, it's still recognizable isn't it?"

"You right, I think something not right in my story. I guess I missed some important things in it, you know, whatever, what I mean is, doesn't it make you want to be an alpha?"

Ellie fell silent.

"Having abundant wealth, being able to get the love of everyone, owning anyone, and whatever you want. Isn't that heaven?"

"Yes, if you want your life to be shortened by ten years," said Ellie, folding her arms across her chest.

This time Sara took some silent moments.

In this world, each type of classification has its own lifespan. Gamma has a lifespan of fifty years until death comes, the beta has seventy years, and alpha has the shortest lifespan, forty years.

"Well, that is pretty sad."

"Still want to be an alpha?"

"Can I change it to beta?" Sara said sweetly, "that way my timeframe can even increase by twenty years!"

Ellie laughed and patted Sara's head lightly. "I wish you well that you evolved into a beta then."

"You don't want to evolve into anything?"

Ellie looked straight past Sara, "Hmm, I just want to be gamma."

"Then it's good for you because you already are a gamma."

Ellie's smile faded.

Because you already are a gamma.

How she wanted Sara's statement to come true. How she wants to be gamma and live quietly.

Suddenly Ellie turned her head back, looking out of the café window onto the street.

What is this smell?!

"What going on, Ellie?"

She never smelled this fragrance before in her life. Ellie closed her mouth, panicked.

This fragrance, could it be...

Alpha?!
