ALPHA REJECTION
A talent I greatly envied.
I had wanted her gift, longed, and dreamed and anticipated it. Mother had said that it had been passed from her great-grandmother to her mother and then to her.
It was a family thing. But then, my thirteenth birthday had come and gone, and I hadn't been able to compel anyone. Mother had said to wait, that maybe I was going to realise my full talent at eighteen.
But I had turned eighteen, and nothing had happened either. Mother had continued to excel and flourish, she'd had man slaves, men and women who fell over themselves to do her bidding, shackled under the potency of her compulsion.
