![]() All things must end. I learned that lesson the day my mother died. My step-mother was wicked. My step-sister, cruel. It was a relief when I revealed as an Omega because it was a chance to escape. But it wasn't the end of my troubles. What happens to Omegas is a secret. And my troubles had just begun. "I can save you from one monster, Verity," Lilly said when she accepted me into the program. "But I cannot save you from them all." True to her word, she saved me from my step-mother. Then Woodrow entered my life. And I realized he was the other monster Lilly had warned me about. CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE EXCERPT
“I take care of the Omegas whom I take through the program. When I look at you, Verity, I see an Omega. Whatever happens, I will be in contact regularly. If you don’t reveal today, you will later, and I won’t have you out there vulnerable. If you need me, I expect you to call me at any time. Am I making myself clear.” This fierce little Omega was like a lioness protecting a cub. “Yes, Doctor Brach,” I mumbled. A wry smile tugged her lips. “Call me Lilly, please.” Her smile faded. “You’re feeling excited, maybe even hopeful. Hold onto that feeling for as long as you can. You were ever doomed to be an Omega, we are merely…playing at god in hastening its approach. There will come a day in the not too distant future when you will curse both me and the program. That day is not this day. I can save you from one monster, Verity. But I cannot save you from them all.” And with those ominous words, she tapped the interactive desk once more, and my stepmother was shown in. Lessons. There were always lessons to be learned as we journeyed through life. I didn’t know what today’s lesson was yet, but I knew there was one and that it might be the most important of them all.
