Wife Attributes.

You manage to gather your wits and take a deep breath.

“So give me their qualities. No bullshit. No dossiers. No meetings. I want the bloodline abilities.”

Your father frowns, showing some actual concern, “Are you sure you don’t want to meet—”

“No.” You demand flatly, “I know they’ll spill some fucking worthless platitudes to play me. I’d probably be miserable with all of them once the ‘honeymoon’ phase wears off.”

Your father sighs and opens a drawer to pull out a plain folder, placing it in the desk, “Fine.”

Adolpha: Lust Enhancement

Cami: Peak Athleticism

Arcadia: Empathic Sensitivity

Sumeria: Calming Aura

Maia: Enhanced Healing

You look over your options, “I am telling the nature of this marriage.”

You father blanches, “But—”

“NO!” You snap heatedly, “If we are going to take one of the most sacred acts in life for a fucking science experiment, then they have the right to say no and find someone to love them organically! Maybe you can let go of your honor and the right to call yourself a man for your elders, but I am going to be better than you, a better man.”

He scowls, “Watch your tongue. You are not ready to face me.”

You laugh bitterly, “Maybe. But at least I have what you never got. A chance to be with the woman I love.”

Sitting in the living room with you fiancee was a nerve-wracking experience for you as you were about to tell several potential woman about how the elders of their group had quite literally wanted to use them as a science experiment.

This wasn’t going to be pleasant.

It had taken time for everyone to find a comfortable time for this sit down, you had wanted to exclude Adolpha, but the contract was still in effect, so she would have to be a part of this. When the door bell rang, Accalia kissed your cheek and got up to leave the room.

She couldn’t be here to help you muster your strength, you had to do this on your own.
