Is Lexa an only child in your noble x feral au? That could add some drama since she's the only one left to carry on the family's name after her parents pass away. The stakes are higher for Lexa to marry soon and forget about Clarke whom she caught feelings for. What if Lexa's parents already arranged Lexa to marry someone else and Clarke is her last hurrah before she settles down

Im thinking she is, yes! Either that or she has a alpha sibling that is already married off, and because alphas marry off of the family, any child her si ling might have will not continue the Woods bloodline. One of the reasons Lexa's parents allow her to go and pick a plaything is that they are now closing in on the two suitors for Lexa so she can have her last little fun before she is a married mated omega to a properly raised alpha instead of playing around with strays, feral ones at that.

And yes, it does raise the stakes higher for Lexa and explains why she is so adamant to continue on with her arrangement instead of running away with Clarke. While her parents arent bad people they are old money and very traditional, neither of them an alpha, so Lexa has to uphold those values as best as she can.

#letter opened #au: noble x feral #its a delicate situation #because lexa loves her family #her parents arent bad people to her she is extremely privileged actually #they dont seem to particularly enjoy each others company tho and Lexa has a lot of trauma of them screaming at each other #so she tends to be extra polite with her suitors #she might not love them but she does not want to be her parents #she does have to fight the urge to tell Ontari to shut up because the girl is impossible #or tell Costia to speak up because the alpha is rather soft spoken and it annoys Lexa at times #or maybe Lexa just keeps comparing them to Clarke and in everything they keep falling short of her
