I did not look back when I left the North. My mind felt heavy, because after the day southern alpha interrupted my conversation with Marielle, he dumped me at my place and warned me strictly to stay away from the south.
I wanted answers from the only source who could not lie to my face. If th then I would walk away with certainty. If he confirmed me, then everyone me with respect, not sympathy.
the South denied me,

The ride to the South territory felt long, silent, and tense. I kept thinking about Marielle, Selene, and Amy. Nothing made sense. If we were connected, why did nobody say anything? Why did I grow up without a clear past while others spoke with pride about their roots? Why was I brought up in a foster home? I did not want pity. I wanted facts.
The South Alpha Council building was large, guarded, and tight. Security officers checked everyone who entered, even council members. When it was my turn, I kept my voice firm.
“I am here to see the South Alpha. Not his secretary. Not his assistant. I need a private session.”
The guards looked at each other. One asked for a referral code to prove that I was not seeking an unofficial meeting. I gave the code slowly, word by word. Only someone with blood access or direct training could know it. The guard’s expression changed. I had bribed my way to get it a few days ago.
He asked me to wait.
I stood in the reception area, not shaking, not moving, and not greeting anyone. I kept my eyes forward. After a few minutes, a door opened and another guard signaled for me to follow.
I walked down a long hallway and entered a private office. The South Alpha sat behind a wide desk. His eyes were kind of mean. He did not offer a seat.
“You used a code that is not public,” he said. “State your reason for coming.”
I spoke without emotion. “I want to confirm my identity. I believe I am your biological daughter.”
He pressed a button on his desk. Two male guards entered and stood close to me.
“You are not free to move around this territory until verification is complete. You will be kept under controlled supervision. If your claim is false, you will be punished for identity fraud and unauthorized
access.”
“I already know the truth,” I replied. “So holding me here will not change it.”
“You are not the first who tried to claim a link to this seat,” he said. “Most are wrong.”
“I am not most,” I replied.
He told the guards to take me to a waiting cell while they checked hidden files. I did not step back.
“If you lock me up, I will speak in the Council Chamber. I will tell them everything I know. My story will

reach every South member who thinks they deserve a clean record. If you are innocent, my voice cannot harm you. If you are guilty, the rumors will spread before your facts are ready. Think carefully about what you are doing and stop pretending we haven’t met before.”
He looked up.
“You think threats will help you?” he asked.
“I am stating conditions. Not threats,” I answered. “And if you do not lis proof.”
That part was not fully confirmed, but I knew I had to sound certain.
The Alpha lifted his hand. The guards stepped back and left.
He stood up, walked around his desk, and faced me. “Say it again.”
“I am your daughter.”
He did not confirm. Instead, he observed me slowly.

“You have the same direct tone as someone I once knew. But the tone is not proof.”
“I came for more than proof,” I answered. “I came for the position.”
That caught his full attention.
“Explain.”
“If I am truly part of this bloodline, then I want value, not just a title. I want a place in your company. I want access to decision making. I want control in areas that secure long–term power.”
The Alpha folded his arms. “You speak like someone trained in corporate strategy. Who taught you?”
“I learned while fighting for recognition,” I said.
He asked what I wanted in specific terms. I spoke clearly.
“I want an executive office. I want a strong salary and benefits package. I want influence in the finance department. I want involvement in voting decisions. I want authority that cannot be removed through manipulation or gossip.”
He stared at me without blinking.
“You want influence, but what do you offer?”
“Silence, loyalty, intelligence, data and protection for your reputation. And a planned mode of operation against Carter Enterprise Holdings.”
His voice lowered. “So you want to be a partner in strategy, not just a child seeking identity.”
“Yes.”
He paced slowly across the room. He seemed to measure risk and outcome.

“If I give you power, you will be expected to work at full capacity. No complaints, no excuses and no emotional conflict.”
“I can handle it,” I replied.
He returned to his desk.
It is real work and carries
“I will appoint you as Head of Finance in our main corporation. It is no responsibility. You will start immediately. You will move into the official executives. All your communication will be monitored until full confirmation is completed.”
“I accept.”

“You will sign a nondisclosure agreement. If you break it, the consequences will not be negotiated.”
“I understand.”
He handed me a digital pad. The agreement listed strict conditions. I read every line. No hidden sections. No unclear language. I signed.
“Good,” he said.
He sat again. “One more thing. Selene does not know about any of this. She still believes she is the only one tied to this bloodline.”
That detail gave me an advantage.
He called a staff officer and ordered that I be taken to the finance building for orientation.
