In this world there are alphas and betas. Alphas control the relationship and what goes on in their house hold. What alpha's say go. Alphas are dominant and beta. When an alpha finds their beta, they feel an urge to claim, protect, and procreate with the beta. Alphas can be any gender and can mate with the same sex or the opposite sex. I grew up with a dominant father, and a submissive mother, and what I learned from this bonding was that, you only had such limited freedom until your alpha found you. When that happens, they are the law and the laws of the U.S. bend in favor of the alpha. You could do anything to your beta as long as you did not kill them.
So basically we are slaves. I'm only 18, and I have yet to ever connect with a person so I am guessing I would be a submissive. I found this fact out when I was really young, and even then, I knew I did not want to be anyone's slave. My parents didn't understand the struggle. My mom claimed to be so happy, but how could anyone be happy when a person comes into their life and just demands they revert their lives around them? No, I couldn't do it. Not now not ever.
So how did I end up in a police station with my hands cuffed together? Well it was simple. I was a part of a group who wanted to break the laws of alpha and omega called AntiDom, for Anti Dominance. It seemed our rally down town got us noticed and also caused a fifteen minute riot. Basically every member in an AntiDom shirt was arrested. The group was created by Albert Nottingham, a man who denied his alpha and has gone against the laws of having to bend to his alpha's will. Many followed after him, leaving their families and their lives to follow after him. Of course this upset many alphas and so there was a lot of tension between alphas and the group. Alpha cops didn't bother being too polite with us. So here I sat, Aurora Nightingale, a member of AntiDom of five years, waiting to be charged with disturbing the peace or causing a riot or something.
While I waited, I twirled my finger into one of my braids. I just got some extensions put into my hair, and I was glad none of the cops pulled at it. They were long and pretty and expensive.
"Ooh and it's all right and it's coming oh we gotta get it right back to where we started from. Love is good. Love can be strong. We gotta get it right back to where we started from." I muttered.
Normal POV
Rafael Barba was good at his job as ADA to the team. He may not have won every case, but he never went down without a fight. So now he was staring at this woman, this African American woman who has caused such a rise in downtown Manhattan. He never had a personal life and if he did it was wrapped around a case. He felt content with his job and his life. But now after looking at this woman he felt empty, as if his life was missing something all along.
She had light mocha skin and was curvy around the hips and thighs. She had long fake braids, that were flat our gorgeous. Her face was round and she looked hard to break. Her hazel eyes looked up and it looked like she was looking right at Barba. He inhaled loudly and was glad to be the only one behind the glass, because he didn't want her looking at anywhere else. Now when you looked at Rafael Barba, you could tell he was ready to win at anything and he was not easily beaten. But this woman. She was the reason he lived now, and he wasn't sure how he felt about it. But he knew, he knew he had to step up and let his beta know who was in charge. The door opened in the back and in came Olivia Benson, chief of the Sex Crimes Unit and alpha to Amanda Rollins.
"Got the file on Ms. Nightingale, and she has quite a record," she said handing it to her ADA. Barba took it and began to go through it, "She been involved in many riots, arrested on gun possession. She has been involved in numerous acts of terrorism and Nottingham is the master of it all. She's been charged with raiding government garages and stealing weapons. She was almost locked away two years ago for having blue prints of an FBI agency, but the evidence was tampered with. After that she laid low until now. This group is very serious of what they stand for."
Barba scoffed.
"What do they plan to kill alphas all over the city, wage war against alphas?" he asked mockingly closing the file. Olivia sighed and placed her hands on her hips. 'Jesus, she's only eighteen.' Barba thought. Too young for him, but old enough to be broken in. Damn.
"You should hear Nottingham's speech. He makes us sound like slave owners, that we will torture and hurt our betas. It's sad to see a young mind wasted." she told. And it was true, not all alphas mistreated their betas. Barba shook his head.
"No. She's not going to jail." he stated glancing at Olivia and looking back out the window. Olivia looked at Barba with shock.
"What are you saying, we have to charge her. She's a terrorist." she said. Barba didn't believe it or didn't want to believe it.
"No. She's just lost." he said. Olivia began to mutter before stopping in her words and looking at Barba with a frozen stair. Barba just glanced at her and then back at the glass. Olivia looked back at the glass and was now stunned.
"Oh my god." she said placing her hand on her forehead. Barba nodded slowly.
"She's my… beta." he said slowly. Olivia looked from the girl to Barba. She never thought Barba would be paired with a rebel before.
"Never thought your first meeting will be here." she said. Barba nodded and looked at Olivia.
"I'm going to talk to a judge. No jail time if she agrees to be my beta and give me information on AntiDom and their full intentions." he said. Olivia's eyes flexed in utter shock at the proposal.
"You think a judge is going to agree to that or her for that matter?" she asked motioning her forehead at the woman. "Barba, this group is fighting against the thing you are offering." Barba shook his head as he read over the file once more and now began to move towards the door that would lead into the interrogation room.
"She thinks we just want to break her. I plan to show her something else." he said and walked into the room. Olivia blinked in utter shock and followed him inside.
Aurora's POV
I continued to wait, and I was becoming aggravated. But the door opened and in came two people. A woman who shouted cop and a man in a suit holding a file. He sat down in front of me and crossed his legs and let out a breath as if impressed.
"Wow you have a record here." he said. I just stared at the woman now. She stood near the door watching with a firm glare. She was use to interrogating people.
"So I've been told." I responded coldly looking at the man. I noticed he shifted a bit and opened the file once more.
"Your little group has now been labeled a terrorist group and soon the importance of capturing your group will jump from little to of great importance." he said. I scoffed and laughed dryly.
"Of course alphas would call us terrorists. If wanting to have control of my life is considered terrorism then I happily accept that title." I said crossing my legs and arms and turning my body from the two. There was a few seconds of silence.
"You're just a child." the man said.
"A free child who shall die a free child." I stated whipping my head back at him. He stared at me for a long moment before looking down and in the direction of the woman, but not actually facing her.
"Give me five minutes." he said. The woman glanced at the man before looking back at me and slowly moving out the room. The man curled his fingers together and inhaled sharply.
"My name is Rafael Barba, and I am the Assistant District Attorney of this precinct, so I will be in honest with you. In the eyes of the law, you are a terrorist and there is very little that can be done to save you. Alpha or no alpha terrorist acts will not be taken lightly. So I am going to try and make a deal with a judge in order to keep you out of jail." he said. I looked down as I heard his words.
"And why would you do that?" I asked. He inhaled and just curled his fingers.
"If I am able to get this agreement through, you will have to abide by a few conditions." he said. I slowly turned to him, showing more interest.
"And those conditions are?" I asked. Rafael gave a firm look.
"You will leave AntiDom and tell us what you know about the organization." he said. My entire body was in defense now and I shook my head standing up from my chair.
"No! I will not betray my people." I said.
"They are not your people. Nottingham isn't in this prison with his people, you are. He is only going to get you killed and you can get out of this without facing long, and I mean long years of your life in prison. I can get you out of this." he said quickly and is shook my head leaning over and placing my bound hands on the table.
"And why should I even make such a pathetic and traitorous deal!" I shouted, and now he was up on his feet standing over the table as well looking at me with dominate eyes.
"Because I am your alpha and you will do what you are told!" he snapped. My eyes now widened at his words, and my entire body was frozen and I felt my as if a large anchor was dropped on my body. Oh shit. "If I can get this agreement, you will quit the AntiDom, accept me as your alpha and move in with me." My entire body shook violently and I closed my eyes trying to retain my feelings and I took deep even breaths.
'Don't show the alphas your fear or they will use it to destroy you' Albert said. I needed to be alone, left alone to my thoughts. I looked up at Rafael Barba to see him looking me over as if trying to figure me out.
"I need a day to think of this." I said. Rafael leaned back and nodded once.
"You'll be taken back to your holding cell. You can sleep off the riot here." he said and left the room. So this was my alpha. A powerful lawyer who looked like he was used to being an ass. It's going to be really awkward when he finds out I have a boyfriend.
