Born For The Alpha

Chapter 8: Love In Trouble

Arda, Karina and Jacob strolled towards an event center on the day of the birthmark show.

It was in the late evening and the event center was a bungalow of a building with a spacious parking space that currently contained very few vehicles.

A stone fence went around the building and the entrance gate was locked with a huge padlock.

The signpost just outside the event center displayed a marquee that proudly announced, Marvelous Event Center.

Arda and her friends joined the crowd to stand outside the gate.

It was not a large crowd and a flamboyantly dressed woman in her forties holding a megaphone, came to stand beside a man around her age just inside the gate.

The man had no hair on his head and it was shiny. It seemed to be the only bright thing about him. He was dressed in a black suit and wore black shoes, his face grim.

“We regret to tell you that we have cancelled the event.” The woman announced, shocking them all.

“But why?” demanded a few people from the crowd.

“We figured out too late that lots of people might come to this competition and try to deceive us with tattoos and we cannot handle that stress.”

There were groans from the people and a few people among the crowd started leaving, some swearing and cursing as they left, others, silent.

“Should we go as well?” Karina asked Arda who shook her head.

“Somehow, I knew what her answer will be.” Jacob commented.

“We’re already here. I need to hear all they have to say.” Arda told them.

“Okay.” Karina agreed.

“Whatever you say.” Jacob said halfheartedly but Arda ignored him. Surprisingly, so did Karina.

“Anyway,” the woman went on, “we have a website setup for this purpose. Just get there, fill the form and upload your mark. This is now an online competition. Also, fill in your bank account and our team will inspect your mark. The winners will be announced on the site and paid what is due them.”

The woman looked expectantly at the man beside her and he cleared his throat before opening his mouth to address them.

“The website is www.birthmark.com and I repeat, www.birthmark.com, everybody got that?”

Nobody responded and he cleared his throat again but remained silent.

“That’s it. Just shut up. We heard you.” A gothic looking girl shouted from the crowd, which had some of the people laughing.

“Well, that is good to know.” The man responded coolly, unfazed by the insult. “Submissions will go on for seven days, starting by tomorrow. We look forward to receiving your submissions.” He turned to the woman. “What do you say to them?”

“May the best marks win a price.” She said with a smile and the crowd cheered.
