Gooooooogle says it's "ma'am", not "mam" (a few chapters ago; my european blood insists it's "madam"instead :)
That being said, this chapter was even better than most of the others!
Nvm that another of my yet-unwritten speculations turned out to be wrong (fwiw, I guessed Lexi wouldn't be able to stick to her decision, and would make some factual mistake in her confession, with the result of giving up AND not being believed...) - the real point is the constant quality.
My only criticism is that, much like the Lord of the Rings, this story is too short.

Thanks for pointing out the ma'am spelling; I don't often have cause to write it, so I always forget.
Glad you're liking the story!

Yes, nice and ugly. Hope she's not dead.

She's not. Thanks for reading!

Holy fuck on a stick.
You've really done it.

Ouch, ouch, ouch! How can there only be 2 chapters left? That's not long enough for Bridget and Lexi to heal. They'll need time. If they don't get time, that means the story will end with them on bad terms.
Oh, and Lexi had better not die. If she does, I quit the Omega series.
Actually, I'd prefer if Lexi did not become permanently injured either.
What I'm asking for is please, please no sad ending to this story. Ugh, that would kill me. And no bittersweet ending either. There are plenty of super sad chapters in this story so make the last one a happy one. I'll give you a better review if you do. :)
Author's Response:
Lexi is not going to die or even be permanently injured, especially not with the medical care they have available in this world. I can't promise a perfect sunshine and roses ending, but it won't all be as gloomy as the climax has made it appear. Thanks for reading!

Bridget deserves all of this, this is all on her. Alexandra deserves better. I've really felt pissed since the whole " Immortal Gods" reveal.
Author's Response:
It's definitely a big mess, and Bridget won't be feeling very good about it.

Wow. Talk about twisting the knife. The guilt is going to be overwhelming for Bridget. Do Omegas even have procedures for punishing Betas that harm Alphas? I know it sounds ludicrous, but it seems the entire system is designed to punish Alphas, which is why you're getting Betas that are bold enough to frame Alphas. Again I say, for Alphas that are anti-Omega and/or anti-Beta, this is a public relations dream. I look forward to your conclusion.
Thanks! Omegas don't put Betas through sessions for hurting Alphas as they do when it's the other way around, since the sessions are meant to simulate the actions Alphas put Betas through (something Betas can't actually do back to them), but there are still definite consequences for what Nathaniel did. I know it can look like it's designed to get Alphas, though it really just looks that way because Alphas, far and away, are the ones committing the most crime.

Wow. What a pulse-pounding and psychologically explosive climax. If Alexandra dies, I definitely wouldn't have expected it. Although with Omega tech, she'll probably be fine. I don't quite understand how she was framed though, so I hope this is explained. I eagerly await the next two chapters.
Author's Response:
Thanks for reviewing! There will be more explanation about how she was framed in the next chapter.

Yeeaaah…
I’m both sad for Bridget and Lexi right now. While Bridget gets some hate, I’m not going to ignore the upbringing her generation of Omegas have and the near indoctrination like teaching they receive involving beta cruelty and instilling in them the desire to protect betas at all costs. Aegis is more at fault for this and I hope this makes Kayla think about making some changes to the organization. Bridget and Lexi and their friendship both got screwed by the system.
As for Lexi, it was hard seeing her crack like that but I don’t think she’s actually going to turn into a beta killing criminal or harbor violent tendencies toward them. I’m not too worried about her injuries due to the super advanced medical care Aegis have and frankly doing all they can to treat her is the least they could do.
Excellent chapter, good sir. The Omega series always produces high quality work.
Author's Response:
You're right about Lexi; she didn't necessarily crack and become what they were accusing her of, it was just her anger swelling up in that moment. The physical injuries, while serious, are indeed fixable. Thanks for reading!

Dang Evelyn was just a bit too late. But how does Bridget even begin to atone for her treatment of Alexandra? Maybe this experience will cause Bridget to leave the agency(place were the omegas work, just forgot the name) or be forced to leave. There should definitely be severe some ramifications for what she's done to Alexandra, even though it was technically her job. But if that doesn't happen I feel Alexandra will get more of the suffocating cuddling she seems to despise.
Anyways great chapter. This has been one hell of a rollercoaster ride.
aaron
PS if nothing can be done legally to Bridget, will Evelyn take matters into her own hands?(a long shot I know but it seems plausible right haha)
Author's Response:
Thanks for reading/reviewing. I won't comment on your questions to avoid spoiling, but I will say Evelyn's not going to single out Bridget for blame here; all the Omegas will be sharing the fault.

Another great chapter ! It didn't happen quite the way I imagined but it was very well done.
Actually, I left a comment about Lexi confessing her "guilt" a few chapters back; guess I was just a few chapters early. ^^
I'm pretty sure Lexi is gonna survive but will she suffer permanent injury ?
Author's Response:
Thanks for reading! And I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

Wow, I almost don't even know what to say about this one. Firstly, did Alex snap at the end there? I almost feel like if anything, these so called "punishments" actually succeded in converting Lexi into the very monster they were punishing her for being.
It's similar to how when people get sent to prisons there is a good chance they come out worse than they went in. Is Lexi gonna hold a grudge against Bridget and all of Aigis? I kinda think so. Is she gonna hold a grudge against Betas? Now that one, is telling...
I, for one would distance myself from both Omegas AND Betas if this happened to me. I would even argue that some people might become so bitter that they might ACTUALLY attack and hurt Betas. Lexi already seems to have developed a deep and ugly sourness inside her, and she wasn't even at the end of her torture yet!
Author's Response:
Lexi didn't actually snap there, it was more that her rage got the best of her in that moment. It was really to show that even when Lexi admitted to everything she was accused of, Bridget couldn't accept it. Regardless, you may be right that Lexi wants some space from Omegas and Betas after this.
