I don't think monster is a bad enough word to describe Alma. How did Lexi turn out so well with a mother like that?
I can't imagine anyone like Alma existing. There's no gray area with her, just pure black. I'd put a gun to my head and pull the trigger before living in the same house with someone like her. I can only imagine what it would be like as her daughter. :(
I'm glad I didn't read this story as you released the chapters. This would ruin my day if chapter 11 didn't exist.
Author's Response:
Alma's definitely something else. Lexi really only turned out this way because Alma never revealed her true self to her daughter until this night, and before it, had emotionally distanced her. Glad to hear 11 helped alleviate the pain of 10.

Damn, you make me feel even more worse for Alexandra and I didn't think that was possible.
Author's Response:
Well, I do try my best. :)

Fantastically written! A gripping tale that makes me wish so deeply for more! I hope for a happy ending, but will enjoy the ride regardless :)
Author's Response:
Thanks so much! There will be more soon, and I hope you like the ending in a few chapters.

Can't say I blame Nathanial for being as sour a person as he is...Both parent's eaten by an Alpha woman for no good reason?
Just because! I can't even imagine how angry at the world I'd be if something like that happened to my parents!
Of course, taking it out on Lexi and on all Alphas isn't reasonable, but I can understand why'd he'd go after the bitch's daughter like this.
I probably have more symphathy than anger for him after this chapter but I'm still rooting for Lexi. It's a really bad situation all around, and the only clear-cut villan here is Alma.
Author's Response:
He definitely has good reasons for feeling the way he does, even if he's misplacing his blame. Glad to hear those are your feelings on Nathaniel, Lexi, and Alma; that's definitely what I was hoping would be the case after this chapter.

Just an incredible chapter really. Following the last chapter I wondered if perhaps if Alexandra had been forced into hurting betas and that there was an actual case against her. Instead she comes across as more heroic managing to resist her mother’s influence and flee into the unknown at the age of ten. It makes what Nathaniel’s done all the more monstrous as he’s punishing the person that (presumably) saw that his parents got justice.
Author's Response:
Thanks! Yep, Alexandra was not only innocent, but the only reason why Nathaniel's parents saw some kind of justice.

This is beautifully heartbreaking. I feel sorry for Nathaniel now, now that he was violently orphaned at ten years old. However, his wrath is misaimed: he's attacking the one who didn't know what was happening, and turned against it immediately.
I agree with everyone else: Alexandra showed herself to be a strong one by running away and telling Aegis.
Author's Response:
Thanks for reading! I had hoped this chapter would, at least, make people see Nathaniel as less single-minded villain and more just violently misguided.

Every Omega story has “that” chapter that is noticeably more standout than the rest. Omega: Consequences so far has Marion’s downfall and the final chapter of the Claire/Stephanie arc, Omega: Tough Love has Jenna – Part 2, Omega: Family has the first chapter, and now Inheritance has this chapter. Granted this my opinion regarding the best chapters in the Omega verse but this one was too powerful, raw, and shocking to ignore. Lexi is a very strong ten year old to reject her mother’s psychotic ideology like that, making her a lot stronger than she appears. This strength is seen in the present as she refuses to break under her frend's punishment and hold onto her innocence.
Author's Response:
Thanks man, it means a lot.

Wow, that was painful to read. Lexie's mother is a Beta serial killer; she doesn't just seem evil for evil's sake, rather plain old insane, Joker style.
I give points to Lexie for even trying to stand up to her, just a little. At ten year old, not muxh more could be expected of her.
I wonder if Alma got caught or if she bolted as soon as Lexie disappeared.
Keep it up, I want to know what happens next !
Author's Response:
I enjoy the Joker comparison; Alma's definitely not bound by any humane morals. And Alma was caught because of what Lexi did. There will be more on that later on. Thanks for reviewing!
