"My father is an Alpha. My mother also is. My other siblings are. But I'm the black sheep of the family. I'm a Beta, and that title forces me to do more just to be noticed. If my sibling gets an A, I have to get an A-plus before anyone even pays attention. If my siblings study just once a week, I have to study every single day. For me to be noticed by my father, I need to prove that he needs me—that I shouldn't just be discarded. If I want to be the next president of his company, I need to prove that even though I'm a Beta, I can be better than the rest of my siblings who are Alphas. I need to prove myself," Caius said, his voice low with a mix of bitterness and longing.
"And how do you plan to do that?" Jaden asked, tilting his head, a confused expression clouding his features. "I mean, how does that involve Kaelith?"
