"Verity... that's a pretty name." No one had ever told her anything about her name. Let alone complimenting it. Well, at least she wasn't in trouble, that gave her a shred of confidence back. She knew she had done everything right, if there was one thing Verity was good at, it was obeying. She couldn't even hear the shuffling of servants over the pounding of her heart in her chest. [i]Breathe girl, breathe![/i] she thought. A few deep breaths later and her heart was still pounding, though not so much as before. The Alpha had certainly given her a serious scare. Verity wondered if she had meant to scare her. She had heard that certain Alphas relied on fear to frighten Omegas into submission and keep them in line. She had even heard some Alphas were known to take Omega girls and... She shook the thought from her head. No reason to think those thoughts now, besides, she was being asked a question anyway. 

"Verity, do you think there can be a world where we all live equally? The Alphas, and the Betas, and the Omegas?" This was certain to be a trick question, a classmate in trade school had fallen for this almost exact question. Thankfully, Verity remembered the correct answer as given by Mr. Petrov of the Trade Institute.

"No, because by their very nature Alphas are superior and made to lead, while by our very nature Omegas are fit only to serve and obey!" She parroted as cheerfully as possible in a surprisingly sing-song voice. 

"Will that be all, miss?"
