   Summary

   In a world where Alphas are seen as the bottom of the food chain, due to their agressiveness, Lionel Messi is still the best player in the world... and an Alpha.
   An Alpha who hasn't felt a gentle touch since he presented, controlled by Barcelona and Spain until a deal brings him back to Argentina and into the care of la Scaloneta. Who are horrified, when they learn how he had been treated.
