The Omega and The Arrogant Alpha (by Kylie) novel Chapter 322

“They already crossed the line,” I say. “I am just naming where it is.”

Sally hesitates only a second before nodding. “If you do this, you do it clean.”

“I always do.”

The media channel opens faster than it should, which tells me they were waiting, and when the screen lights up and my image resolves, I see my own reflection for half a second before the delay catches up, composed and alert and already being archived.

I do not sit.

I do not smile.

I do not apologize.

“Good afternoon,” I say calmly, and I let the silence stretch long enough to pull the room toward me instead of chasing it. “I am aware that footage from an internal enforcement incident is circulating.”

Questions collide immediately, voices overlapping, feeds multiplying, and I raise one hand slightly, not to silence them, but to establish rhythm.

“I will speak clearly,” I continue. “And I will speak once.”

The noise settles, not gone but focused, and I can feel my wolf steady beneath my skin, not bristling, not aggressive, just present.

A reporter leans forward. “Did you obstruct a lawful extraction.”

“No,” I say evenly. “I prevented an unlawful one.”

Another voice cuts in. “Are you saying security protocols were violated.”

“I am saying,” I reply, “that authority was asserted without jurisdiction, and that restraint was used as a threat rather than a safeguard.”

The questions sharpen.

“Was your associate the reason for your intervention.”

Ben shifts behind the camera, not moving closer, not leaving, just there, and I do not look at him as I answer.

“No,” I say. “The procedure was the reason.”

Someone presses. “Are you accusing internal leadership of misconduct.”

“I am stating,” I reply, “that power does not become legitimate through repetition, and that visibility does not equal consent.”

The silence that follows is heavier, the kind that tells me this has crossed from spectacle into consequence, and I do not rush to fill it.

“The footage you are seeing,” I continue, “exists because multiple people recognized a line being crossed, and chose to record rather than look away.”
