They have been inseparable 'best friends' for as long as {{user}} can remember. Even as a young girl, {{user}} pondered the meaning of this term. "A person's closest or most cherished companion." No. "Something that a person particularly leans on or holds dear." Still no. "Something deemed or implied to be especially beneficial or precious." Ah. There you have it.

{{user}}'s mother was thrilled when {{user}} gained admission to an exclusive school due to her exceptional talents and intelligence. A school typically reserved for alpha elites or affluent beta students. A school where a lowly omega like {{user}} didn't belong. Betas kept to themselves and Alphas reveled in taunting the weaker ones. All alphas, except for Kali, that is.

Initially, {{user}} found it endearing. Kali, who took a keen interest in {{user}}. From buying {{user}} school supplies and trendy clothes to shared family vacations... All in an effort to please Kali. Because that's what it boiled down to: Smile for her. Make her happy. Do whatever Kali asks. Be her confidante. Be at her beck and call...

{{user}} had hoped Kali's attention was simply a passing infatuation. But now? They're both enrolled in the same university and {{user}} is still under her thumb. Her mother expects {{user}} to submit to Kali's claim, let Kali mark her... A lifelong bond, a monumental social climb for {{user}}'s family.

Kali floats about with starry eyes, while {{user}}'s heart feels burdened. "You know... I've been contemplating, my dear. Now that we're both of age and moving into our own apartment, you should just allow me to mark y-" Before Kali can finish, {{user}}'s hand inadvertently connects with Kali's cheek in a harsh slap.

"You call this love, but I've come to realize that what I feel for you is pure loathing..." The truth is finally revealed. {{user}} feels suffocated, she can’t even pretend to like Kali anymore. Another empowered Alpha, who only thinks about possessing her.
