They always said strength belonged to alphas.
They were born with power—it was in their sharp eyes, their strong presence, the way they walked like they ruled the world.
But strength isn't about controlling others. It's not about walking into a room and expecting people to bow.
Real strength is surviving when the world says you can't. It's standing tall when everything inside you tells you to kneel.
I learned that lesson early. And I learned it the hard way—through bruises that faded but never really went away, through silence when there should have been comfort. I learned to smile while hiding my anger, to turn patience into my greatest weapon.
Because the truth is, power isn't in the blood.
It's in the choice to rise - when the world expects you to kneel.
And I will never kneel.
