To ruin an Omega novel Chapter 321

Chapter 321: Let it happen 2

HAZEL

I nodded. "I can’t promise perfection," I said. "I know that much about myself. But I read the pamphlet." I let my fingers rest visibly on the pages. "I understand what is required of me. What is required of everyone and why Lily of the Valley works the way it is. There are clear cut rules and everyone has a role."

I reached out and took his hand.

I did it gently and just as deliberately. I held it in both of mine and looked at him with something that could be read as gratitude, as trust, as the beginning of compliance.

"I’m sure," I said, "that whenever I make mistakes moving forward, I can count on you to correct me in the proper way."

The smile that crossed his face was slow and completely readable. He was pleased with how good he had done with me.

"It would be my pleasure," he said.

He offered me his hand and I took it.

His grip tightened just enough to pull me smoothly to my feet, steadying me before I could adjust myself. He did not let go immediately. He made sure I was balanced. Only then did he release me.

He turned slightly, with his eyes shifting past me.

"Delta." he called for my Omega.

She stepped forward at once. "Yes."

"Take her to her assigned suite," he said. His tone was relaxed, almost pleasant. "Her luggage will follow. Make sure the room is sorted."

"It already has been prepared," Delta replied.

"Good."

I brushed imaginary dust from my dress. "How efficient. I feel very accommodated."

His gaze flicked back to me, faint amusement in his eyes.

"You are. As long as you follow the rules."

I ignored those biting words that brought undiluted rage to my heart.

Delta came toward me with her chin slightly dipped and her hands folded and a faint trembling in her fingers that she was working very hard to suppress. She stopped and bowed. It was a full bow that was supposed to feel respectful and formal. But all I fucking felt was disrespected.

"This way, Luna," she said, and then it seemed like she corrected herself immediately. "Hazel."

But she had done it in a way where she wouldn’t seem like the bitch. It was like she half expected me to explode. It was surprising to me myself that I hadn’t blown fucking hot yet.

I took a breath. It wasn’t worth it and then I followed her out.

We walked down the corridor and turned a corner and walked further and at some point the sound of Laslo’s footsteps faded behind us and there was a stretch of empty hallway with no one in it but us.

I kept my voice very quiet.

"You will pay for that humiliation," I said. "With your blood and your flesh. I promise you that."
