The Omega and The Arrogant Alpha (by Kylie) novel Chapter 334

Ben’s voice is low. “And to scare you.”

“Yes,” I reply. “To make me hesitate next time.”

The spokesperson’s briefing shifts tone, questions coming faster now as reporters push for accountability, and I watch carefully as the narrative tightens, the blame narrowing like a funnel.

“Do you accept responsibility,” someone asks.

The spokesperson does not hesitate. “Leadership must always consider the consequences of its words.”

Sally snorts softly. “They’re already writing the headline.”

I step closer to the console. “Patch me in.”

Ben turns sharply. “Not yet.”

“Yes,” I say calmly. “But not to argue with them.”

Sally looks between us. “What are you planning.”

“To show sequence,” I reply. “Not opinion.”

I pull up the timeline Sally has built, the clean, unforgiving alignment of timestamps that tells the story without commentary, and I feel a steady calm settle into me, because facts like this do not shout and they do not beg.

“They want me emotional,” I say. “They want reaction.”

“And you’re going to give them evidence,” Ben replies.

“Yes.”

Before Sally can route the feed, her tablet vibrates again, and she freezes as she reads.

“They’re issuing a secondary advisory,” she says. “Restricting your movement for safety.”

“Containment,” Ben says flatly.

“Yes,” Sally replies. “Framed as precaution.”

I nod once. “Of course it is.”

The advisory flashes across the internal channel moments later, language careful and clinical, instructing that I remain on site until further notice, citing the risk of escalation and the need for stability.

“They’re using the incident to box you in,” Ben says.

“And to justify it publicly,” I reply.

The room hums with restrained motion as staff absorb the update, and I can feel the question hanging in the air, unspoken but heavy, whether I will comply or push back again.

I make the decision without ceremony.

“Release the timeline,” I say.

Sally hesitates only a fraction of a second before nodding, because she understands the difference between provocation and correction, and the feed goes live internally first, then outward, clean and unadorned.
