I recently reread this after hearing you’re doing a sequel and it’s equally as heart wrenching as I remember it. This will always be my favourite story in the Omegaverse for several reasons. It makes you feel awful seeing the trust between two friends being destroyed so easily. What I like the most about it is that Omegas and Aegis are in the wrong for once. I want to share some thoughts on the story, mostly on the ending. 

I see a reason for Alexandra moving far away as her way of punishing Bridget and Evelyn for what they did. Despite essentially being Lexi’s adopted family for twelve years, they easily threw out their trust in her over an accusation they didn’t bother to investigate until two weeks later. Moving far away covertly is her way of letting them know that repairing their relationship won’t be as easy as saying “I’m sorry.” 

Kayla looks really bad in this story. She seems to have a “don’t sue us” attitude towards Lexi. Bribing someone isn’t going to make them feel better. 

I find the whole memory wipe thing interesting. I don’t think its unexpected for Lexi and Bridget to turn it down. If their memories of the past two weeks are erased, they can’t learn from this experience. A similar situation could happen again in the future and Bridget wouldn’t have the experience to stop herself from hurting Lexi or another innocent Alpha if the memory is gone. 

I see people saying in the reviews that Lexi’s trust in Omegas and Betas was destroyed and she’s moving to make new friends who won’t betray her, but I feel that I don’t think she can really trust anyone. A Beta could accuse her of hurting them again and the Omega’s mindset will not allow them to believe a Beta can lie. She probably can’t trust her fellow Alphas either because she knows that they are capable of being complete monsters. She would know since her own mother was one. 

I think it would be poetic justice if Nathaniel and his friends are punished by being put through the same treatment Alphas are put through when they hurt or kill Betas. The point of the torture is to make Alphas experience what they put Betas through, so why not have Nathan experience what Lexi was put through? Maybe they are temporarily made Alpha size to make it easier for the Omegas to handle them? 

Keep doing what you’re doing, man. I can’t wait to see what you do in the sequel. I hope it’s even better than this story. 

Another fantastic story from the Omegaverse. I can't wait for the sequel to Inheritance. That was my favourite story out of all of them.
