Chapter 4: Results Day, Part 2

Emmy

The Proper Education Initiative was a decree that ensured that every person, regardless of class and rank, would be required to go to school through college, fully funded.

The Dominant Relations Act and Superior Initiation are where it gets interesting. These are also the biggest fundamental laws of our world. The Inquisitor's Office is the universal institution that oversees and enforces these two laws vigorously.

Within two months after a person turns eighteen, each person is required to report to the regional headquarters of the Inquisitors Office to undergo the Superior Initiation. Each person is given the top-secret Superior serum to “activate” their transformation. If they transform, they are classified as a Superior being and given a new rank of Star or Triangle based on their new abilities and the strength of their inner wolf. Honestly, all governments are corrupt, and the Superiors are no different.

If the first test wasn’t enough, three days before each person’s twenty-first birthday, they will report back to the Inquisitor’s Office where they will undergo three days of physical, medical, and psychological exams to be further labeled as a Dominant, Submissive, Moore, or Core. The process is debilitating. All the information is quantified and studied and once a quarter, your scores are released known as “Results Day.” Your school is required to announce your new classifications in public, and your envelope has all the relevant instructions or assignments.

Dominants are individuals who naturally have a need for power, control, discipline, and order. They are strong, smart, and often described as sexually insatiable.

Submissives are individuals who display natural tendency to relinquish control of their mind, body, and soul. They have a biological desire to please and be cared for. In this society, submissives are so coveted, they are stripped of their color class and rank because they will inherit their dominant’s status when claimed.

Dominants must have a compatible submissive to calm their beasts. If they do not claim a submissive by age forty-five, they forfeit their status. If they do claim the right submissive, they run the risk of going feral which is a death sentence. Dominants are always Superiors, but humans can be dominant too.

Human and Superior males that rank under sixty percent for the submissive gene are called Moors, and the female equivalent are called Cores. All Superior or human females that meet the sixty to eighty percent threshold are simply called Submissives. Lastly, anyone, whether they are superior or human, with eighty one percent or more with submissive traits, is called a true submissive. They are the rarest and most coveted and are reserved for the Superior Dominants because of their biological ability to tame the most heinous of beasts. True submissives are also the most cared for and often claimed by clans.

There have been two instances in almost 400 years where a female submissive reached over ninety-five percent. They are known as a PURE and let us just say, the world goes crazy when one is proclaimed.

So, what is a clan? Well, something crazy happened about two hundred years ago or so. Some say it was a terrible accident; some say it was a deliberate act of rebellion. Whatever happened it effected about seventy percent of the male population worldwide. Even five generations later, most males still have difficulty producing female offspring. Today, females are about one in one hundred and fifty births. Because of this, women are highly coveted and tend to be picked up quickly for partnerships.

To help combat the growing demand for women, the monarchs enacted the alliance law. This allows multiple Dominants to come together in a legal unification and establish a household where they can acquire submissives for their whole clan. Only one female submissive is allowed per household, but a dominant or clan may have any number of submissive males. Bisexuality and poly relationships are normal in this society and often praised. Each clan may establish their own dynamics and specialties within their household, but the highest-ranking Dominant is the alpha of their clan.

Realistically, “soulmates” are not real, at least not in this world, but some submissives have genetic markers that make them close to a perfect match to help “tame” certain wolves. Wolves coined the term "mate" for those they bonded with, and bonds are for life. This is why compatibility is a huge factor in the Inquisitors Office.

So, what happens if you are labeled for anything submissive? For males and females alike, submissives are declassified and become wards of the monarchy who ensure they are claimed in a timely manner. If they are a true submissive, they will be given government sanctioned protection until graduation or until claimed by an approved Dominant. Once the submissive receives their classification, any dominant or clan can apply to claim them.

“Welcome to the Society of The Dominae República," the projector splayed across the screen, ending the presentation that I completely ignored, bringing me out my little history lesson.
