The Alpha's Execution.

Being the heir to the throne did a number on me. And now, with total control, I feel formidable beyond bated breath as it should be. The ceremony will take place in a few hours. I cannot wait to see what they have accomplished this year. I looked over far beyond the strip. The tiny houses to where I would visit soon. I had a feeling I wouldn't be delighted today. Either way, if they have not achieved the goals and targets, they will pay a heavy price. It will be a rollercoaster of events and quick decision making.

“Everything is ready, sir, “Diablo apprised.

I nodded at him, raising my hand dismissively.

I had gone through the demands. They wanted the internet, sufficient electricity supply, additional computers for the school, more fertilizers. Dang! They want more than they can chew.

I entered my car, Diablo sat next to me. The drive won't be long, just boring. Going to poor people units is not my idea of interesting. Thank the wolf gods I am not an omega. How do they survive being poor?

Time to head to the Omega units.

****************

Savage.

I would be lying if I said I was not stressed out. My heart was racing as we all paraded in the square. This will be my first time seeing the Alpha and his goons.

The theme of the festival, purple and pink. Purple is to denote the presence of a royal blood passing down to see what we have labored our asses for an entire year.

Pink stands for produce. Don’t ask me who came up with these ridiculous colors, I am on the same page as you; the color means nothing close to produce.

Waiting at the assembly square, yes, we even had an assembly square, also the same venue where public executions have taken place. I hate to think of the number of people who shed blood on the ground we were standing on. Even in the 21 century, they still perform public executions.

Marsha was weeping as Tom cuddled her. She turned to me. I let out a smile to her. Assuring her all will be well. Maybe the Alpha will understand we had a critical year. I am sure there has to be some bit of pity left in him.

Our little segregation village comprised about 800people. Everyone knew everybody. We lived in harmony as one. We shared responsibilities, looked after one another. Kavora hit us so badly, it spared no one. We lost a few lives.

The ceremony would occur out in the open. There would be a podium where the Alpha would address us. He would sit high with his goons while we stare at him.

Security was at its max.

“Savage baby “came a husky whisper.

I turned behind me.

My neighbors were in deep low talks so it was definitely not them. The tension was high. We maintained silence as the ceremony was about to commence. I opted to ignore whatever the voice came from. I had very urgent pressing matters to worry over.

An entourage walked up to the designated guest’s podium. Then instantly, as if everything was in slow motion. I saw him. I knew he was the alpha based on the Purple furry cape in all military attire. He looked like a king. His strides loaded with confidence and vigor. The long furry cape robe sweeping the clean ground signifies royalty, while the dark military commander's attire signifies dominance. A simple reminder of who owns us and our place way down at the bottom.

I used to hear stories of Alphas and Gammas being gigantic as mammoths with machine like bodies. Assuming all that was just folktales to scare kids or rumors, I brushed them off as nothing. Looking at the podium. All I can see are giants, just as the rumors and legends had it.

He took a seat as he looked down at us. A fellow sat next to him. That’s the Gamma, I presume, based on his body features. He was slightly more built than the alpha. Recollecting the fact that the alpha can hear our thoughts, I stopped staring and focused instead on the band.

It was hard to pay attention or even acknowledge the alpha and his gamma are titillating hot.

I didn’t file any returns; the produce has been so bad. The alpha had a frown on his handsome face. There was no surprise they would castigate us.

After the entertainment, the dreadful moment came, where the Alpha would read out the income reports. The mark on my neck was stinging hot. Perhaps my anxiety was taking its toll. How I felt didn’t stop time, the reports were read out.

“This year the potatoes and tobacco production were down by forty percent. The tax returns are a disgust to look at. We provided you with the best fertilizers and machinery equipment, but you couldn’t even deliver ten percent. All of you Omegas should be ashamed of yourselves! " He basically yelled through his microphone at us.

Has no one told him of what happened here? The illness that paralyzed us. We have always been on top of our game, giving the best we can. Its tone deaf that he chooses to ignore that. However low we may rank, we had problems too.

Many were beyond our scope.

“As punishment, I will take three hospitals, four clinics, two schools, no power supply and I am shutting down the internet. The laziness in this town needs to be dealt with instantly! “He declared.

I clenched my fists in fury. Lazy? Really?

“I will increase the execution by 15% “he added.

Solemn silenced engulfed the place.

I couldn’t take it.

“Only a fool would believe such nonsense!” I yelled at the top of my voice, taking total advantage of the silence. , my voice was the loudest. Fairly heard by everyone.

His eyes landed on mine in an instant. Of course, he knew it was me. His wolf hearing is twice sharper than mine.
