Gripping account of the past and nice to see this story make a come back. Also, Jenna wasn't as unlikeable as I expected in Tough Love, hope she doesn't destroy that progress now. 

Ah so does what it does, I was right that it seems that they were trying to permanently shrink Alphas who comitted crimes against Betas and it failed, Kayla might have it. Claire can shrink things but it isn't permanent, it seems Kayla was working on something more permanent. 

Hmm, your response to my answer about Marion tells me a lot but I guess I will have to wait for an update to the story if I want to know whether I am right but something tells me I got it wrong. Very wrong. 

Melody's risky move paid off and how could Corey say no to such a  lovely girl? I think Claire should be fine with it, she knows Melody well enough and the two do seem to have feelings for each other. 

  As for Marion, damn! She killed twelve Betas? What the-I can't even wrap my head around it. 

@pkong, that is how I feel about it but it might be useful to know how bad things were for Betas in the pre-Omega world, were they treated like animals or was it equality but with widespread discrimination and the Alpha government unable to enforce any laws protecting them.

 This is a  good chapter, really adds to the story and it really fleshes out Claire a lot, puts her in a brighter light in case you have her go overboard with the discipline.

    I like their relationship, it is a very healthy sibling relationship and it is interesting to know that the Omegas exist not because of evolution but because of science, I am curious to know what their mother is working on, something to stop this from ever happening again? 

  Claire really loves him and it is interesting that she doesn't like the size disparity, perhaps it out of love that she finds it unfair that she gets to be so big and her beloved brother was made too small to defend himself. 

  I would say it would be to shrink offenders permanently or something to enlarge a Beta until it is big enough to avoid such a mishap again. 

  I want to see more, you have a fan here, keep going and I am fine with slower productivity, perhaps you could do weekly updates? It seems a short  enough time frame to keep readers hooked and long enough to write but it is just a suggestion.

I just feel so compelled to write another one even though you haven't updated, got some questions to ask.

Claire has mentioned she hates the size disparity but so far, she has largely benefitted from it. Take away the obvious con that is having her brother severely beaten by the Alpha girls, she has on more than one occasion succeeded due to her status as being the largest of the large.

She was able to straighten out her Beta brother, who is probably the size of a small ant to her after she caught him coming home despite him being underage and it really helped him, he was on his way to graduating top of his class and being a doctor before the attack and their relationship is no worse for wear after that.

Secondly, she was able to stop the attack when she caught them because she is an Omega and her size advantage paid off here. 

Also, she has the three girls in her custody, they were of equal size would it have happened? She now has her chance to dish out as much payback as she wants or is permitted to?

Is there something else at work here? Did she or Corey have her heart broken by some Beta/Alpha guy or girl? You say she realised in her teenage years that her being so large and her brother being so small was unfair, is there a particular event that shaped her views on the size difference and will we get to know about it?

Also, I suspect that only a small percentage of the population are Omegas with the vast majority( say 95% being either an Alpha or Beta), something just tells me so.

And lastly, Naomi.

I don't think she is pathetic but she needs help, Marion has warped her too much and as a guy who got bullied quite a bit in his younger days, I understand how she feels. Perhaps if all three parties, the three being Claire, Corey and Naomi are ready, Naomi could have a chat with Corey, face to face. She is also a victim but of course, she needs to pay for her actions but I feel for her, hopefully she gets through this with minimal fuss.

And once more to the cute sibling pair, I think Corey is lucky to have such a loving sister like Claire, she did not become some domineering sibling who forces her views on him, she definitely followed her mother's advice to support him instead of just making him an extension of herself, did she ever have a crush on her step brother? 

It has worked, he gets to be independent while her lecture to him has put him on the right track without her having to constantly interfere and even if he does screw up, I doubt she will leap in immediately to remedy the situation or baby him.

I look forward to more interaction between the two, hope I am not repeating myself too much!

You defintely have a fan here! Hope you can answer all of my queries, if not most of what you can or want to answer!

Wow, I  felt bad for Naomi since she is also a victim of bullying but Stephanie killed her beloved little brother by accident and she was only ten, does Claire even know how he died? It is a chilling parallel since Stephanie is an Alpha and she killed her Beta brother by accident, then Corey could have been easily killed by Claire at any time. Inhaled, swallowed, sat on , stepped on, you name it.

Claire really needs to help her , she is in true need of help, more than Naomi. Shocking how two of Marion's pals are such tortured souls, makes me wonder if Marion is as broken or even more broken than the two of them put together.

As for Claire, I don't think she should let Jenna and Melody have a go at Marion, she has to be the one as the other two may go too far and injure or kill her by accident which is something they wouldn't want. She needs to be in control , no control and she is no better than a sadist.

Interesting details about the Omegas, seems each and every one of them is conditioned to look after and care for Betas, the Institute seems to that drill into them and I wonder if Claire was deliberately paired with Corey to make sure she has some real life experience in caring for a Beta, which would help with improving their roles as protectors and law enforcers. And if Omegas are not natural, can a person be born as one after the first ones came out and if not, why make little children like Claire Omegas? Easier to mould their minds?

Oh and Dr.Everett reborn as an Omega? Seems Omegas are not natural, ex-Beta or ex-Alpha in order to keep Betas safe. 

So last thing, I think it is cute that Melody has a crush on Corey and Claire, I might be falling more and more in love with her but she needs to realise a person's file does not tell you everything about them, she was proven wrong twice with Naomi and Stephanie, there might be more to Marion than she thinks so call off your friends girl!

Oh ok, that is fine. I was going to be pissed if Claire kept her that way foreve, Stephanie doesn't deserve that, not yet. Oh and did you get my email, might want to check the junk folder of your email. It is kind of important.

A little more on the chapter, took me a while to process it.

Claire needs to be careful with Jenna, this girl might push things too far and accidentally kill an Alpha, she has too much going on inside with the whole Vincent thing weighing down on her and seeing Corey probably would have led to her killing the three girls in a fit of rage, not someone you would want in law enforcement or warden.

  The fact that they were transferred from Jenna to Claire who has shown more control than Jenna so far despite Corey being her big brother shows that Jenna's track record is probably not too clean, too many accidental injuries or death with the people in her care. 

   Also, I don't know if Corey has ever been talked down to by Jenna but it seems she tried since Claire punched her really hard for trying to do it, she really hated the idea of trying to dictate his life for him despite the fact that she could, it is what makes me like Claire and Melody more than Jenna, the girl is unstable from my first impression. Claire better watch out, she may give her more problems than Marion will since Marion's size keeps her in check while Jenna is an Omega but thankfully one of the smaller ones since a fitter,taller, more athletic Claire can control her physically.

   I think it is a little disturbing that she seems to get off on seeing people use their power over others, I might actually feel sorry for any of the Alphas under her, regardless of the crime. Also, who polices the Omegas if they police the Alphas and Betas?

   I also think that she is right in that feeling sorry is not enough, Naomi needs to do a lot more but I think that when she is ready, she should meet Corey. This will have to be decided by Corey with some input from Claire and a little from Naomi if she is ready, it would help the two of them alot. 

 As for Claire, I hope she realises that she should not let her friends or at least Jenna near her girls again, could undo any of the progress she has made with them.

  I actually am surprised that she is the "worst" student in her class, the last to be certified as being fit to handle a Beta when she has a Beta for a brother, must have really hurt her deep when all her friends got them ahead of her when she of all people finished last. Might there be insecurities within her that are waiting to resurface? She may spend all her time gazing down at her three charges and probing into their minds and exposing all sorts of skeletons but she could unwittingly unleash her own inner demons from her childhood. It will be interesting, very revealing transitory chapter. Marion's one should be no less interesting. 

 So my suspicions are right, Melody has got quite the crush on him and it never really died down, only gotten stronger over the years. I can feel her pain, having to administer justice to her own Alpha sister. I wonder if she would dare tell Corey about her feelings for him or does he already know?

  It is easier when the Alpha is someone you have no emotional attachment with but your own family? It must have destroyed her just to even consider it. Also, there must have been Alphas who don't try to go out of their way to make life hell for Betas, they can't all be pure evil. 

 I have a question, not related but if you don't mind answering it, it would make me very happy if you could help me with it. Is there a way of making different font styles show up on this website?
