Deceived Into Submission
01
Mrs. Rodriguez
*hugging Alaric*
Alaric (child)
*crying in her arms*
Alaric (child)
Why did tommy leave us?
Mrs. Rodriguez
Shhh… my love *rocking to and fro*
Mrs. Rodriguez
Dogs life span is not as long as humans
Mrs. Rodriguez
Tommy had to leave
Mrs. Rodriguez
He lived with us way before you were born
Alaric (child)
*crying and hugging her neck*
Mr. Rodriguez
*came there*
Mrs. Rodriguez
*teary eyes but containing it for Alaric’s sake*
Mr. Rodriguez
*annoyed* ALARIC
Alaric (child)
*flinched but stopped crying*
Alaric (child)
*turned and looked at him*
Mr. Rodriguez
It’s just a dog, stop troubling your mother and go to your room
Alaric (child)
*sniffled and nodded as he went to his room, crying*
Mr. Rodriguez
*sat next to her*
Mr. Rodriguez
Wanna let it out?
Mrs. Rodriguez
*nods as she sniffled*
Mr. Rodriguez
*hugged her waist as he kissed her hair*
Mrs. Rodriguez
*hugged his neck, hiding her face in his shoulder and started crying*
Mr. Rodriguez
Shhh… honey, it’s okay. Tommy is in a better place
Mrs. Rodriguez
*sobs and nods* I know but Rick was attached to him so much
Mr. Rodriguez
*kissed her hair* So were you, more than him
Mr. Rodriguez
Don’t lament so much
Mr. Rodriguez
It brings no good
Alaric (child)
*came out of his room to ask something*
Mr. Rodriguez
You will get what you deserve.
Mr. Rodriguez
Nobody can snatch it away. Don’t let it-
Alaric (child)
(Yes. Nobody can snatch anything from me. God snatched tommy away from me, I won’t let him snatch anything from me ever again.)
Alaric (child)
*runs inside his room*
Mr. Rodriguez
Don’t let it get to your heart so much, sweetheart. Tommy died when his time came so will we.
Mrs. Rodriguez
*nods as she stops crying slowly*
Micah (child)
What happened next *eyes shining, looking up at his grandpa*
Micah’s Grandfather
*chuckles at his excitement* Your grandma wore this beautiful wedding gown and walked down the aisle
Micah (child)
Woah *hearing their wedding day story of the Nth time*
Micah’s Grandfather
I held her hand with a smile and promised her dad to never hurt her and gave myself away to her
Micah (child)
*claps his hands* didn’t she give herself to you?
Micah’s Grandfather
No, she belonged to herself-
Mrs. Rosewood
*knocks at the door* Micah, it’s time to go to bed
Micah (child)
*pouts* but grandpa is telling me a story
Micah (child)
*expecting eyes*
Micah (child)
Ahhh *whined*
Micah’s Grandfather
*chuckles and ruffles his hair*
Micah’s Grandfather
I’ll tell it to you some other time, honey.
Micah’s Grandfather
Go to sleep now.
Micah (child)
*pouts and nods, going to his room with his mother*
Micah (child)
(I’ll love my wife they way grandpa loves grandma and turn into a priest like him if she ever leaves me before my death)
Both 5 year olds took different oaths themselves
Oaths that shaped their growing personalities
Totally unaware of each other’s existence
Unknown to the future that awaits them

Alaric (teen)
*shakes his head* nothing
This embarked the journey of their lives

The kids surrounded Micah
Asking him various questions
Micah (teen)
*happily answering them*
Alaric (teen)
*staring at his face*
Unknown
B5: what sub gender do you prefer to date?
Micah (teen)
*flustered* I’m planning to focus on my career before thinking about such stuff
Alaric (teen)
*curious too* yeah but what do you prefer?
The students gasped, it was the first time that Alaric had shown interest in someone
Micah (teen)
I don’t know…
Micah (teen)
Alphas maybe *mumbled while looking at Alaric*
Alaric (teen)
*heard and turned to the window, smiling*
Unknown
G8: are you single?
Alaric (teen)
*annoyed at the question and glared at her*
Everyone was taken aback by his this reaction
They immediately left the two alone
Micah (teen)
Thanks, it was getting quite uncomfortable *scratching the back of his neck*
Micah (teen)
*sitting and studying*
Alaric (teen)
*staring at him*
Alaric (teen)
Why do you study so much?
Micah (teen)
Hm? *looked at him*
Alaric (teen)
I asked, why do you study so much?
Micah (teen)
Oh, it’s fun.
Micah (teen)
I like to learn new things
Alaric (teen)
What else do you like?
Micah (teen)
Reading people and singing
Alaric (teen)
*nods* read me
Micah (teen)
*chuckles* it doesn’t work like that
Micah (teen)
I’ll have to observe you for a few days
Alaric (teen)
Observe me then
Micah (teen)
*laughs* okay
Alaric (teen)
*mesmerised, just looking at him with a smile*
Mrs. Rodriguez
He just hugged me, honey.
Mr. Rodriguez
How can he hug you though? You’re mine. What right does he have to hug you?
Mrs. Rodriguez
He’s my younger brother, honey.
Mr. Rodriguez
So what? Still an alpha, especially a man.
Alaric (teen)
*sitting on the couch, staring at them*
Mrs. Rodriguez
Honey, live like it’s the end of the world. *held his face*
Mr. Rodriguez
*hugged her waist, looking down at her*
Mrs. Rodriguez
*kissed his lips* there’s no tomorrow
Mr. Rodriguez
*kissed her back*
Mrs. Rodriguez
Forget about the past
Mr. Rodriguez
I know but-
Mrs. Rodriguez
You conquered what suited your eye, didn’t you?
Mr. Rodriguez
*nods like a baby*
Mrs. Rodriguez
Now, keep it.
Mrs. Rodriguez
But don’t command it
Mrs. Rodriguez
Or it’ll drift away
Mr. Rodriguez
*nods and kisses her*
Alaric (teen)
Tsk *goes to his room*
Alaric (teen)
(Conquer what suits my eyes…. *Micah’s image pops up* I deserve him, there’s no tomorrow….)
Though his mother said many wise words
All Alaric heard was the malice behind them
His father’s idea of love fascinated him
