From Wolfless Omega To The Rival Alpha's Queen
For three years, I poured my blood, sweat, and tears into building Blackwood Group for Alec, my Alpha and the man I thought was my mate. But on the day of our work anniversary, I stood outside his office door and heard him talking with his Beta, shattering my entire world. "Kay is just a wolfless Omega, useful for paperwork," Alec sneered coldly. "The bonding ceremony is just a show for the elders. The real Luna, the one who carries the bloodline that matters, is Breanne. I'm transferring all of Kay's core project files to Breanne tomorrow. Let her take the credit." He even texted me later, telling me to wear a blue dress to the upcoming gala because it made me look "obedient." I had turned down a Wharton scholarship for this man. I had spent countless nights fixing his mistakes, building his empire, and giving him my youth. Yet to him, I was nothing but a disposable placeholder, expected to smile and bow while another woman stole my life's work and my place by his side. The agonizing pain in my chest didn't break me; it forged me into ice. I didn't cry, and I certainly didn't beg. Instead, I wiped his servers clean of every strategy I had ever created, left a wax-sealed resignation on his desk, and accepted a job offer from his most ruthless rival.The wrought-iron gates of the Knight Estate swung open, and a scarlet Audi R8, limited edition, swept smoothly along the gravelled drive.
Christian Knight stepped out, immaculate in a tailored charcoal-grey suit.
He shut the car door with controlled force and adjusted his cufflinks, though the tightness in his jaw betrayed his agitation.
Without acknowledging the staff, he strode across the courtyard, past the tiered marble fountain, and towards the grand Italianate façade of the house.
The house steward opened the heavy mahogany door at once.
“Good afternoon, sir.”
“Where is my grandfather?” Christian asked curtly.
“In the drawing room, sir. With Mr. Luke.”
Christian gave a brief nod and proceeded down the corridor.
In the drawing room, Leonard Knight sat opposite his son, Luke, both men sipping espresso and discussing forthcoming acquisitions. The air was calm—almost deliberately so.
Christian entered without ceremony.
“Grandpa, may I ask why I have just learned of an engagement I never agreed to?”
Luke’s head lifted sharply. Leonard, however, merely placed his cup upon its saucer.
“I assumed you would appreciate decisiveness,” he replied mildly.
“Decisiveness?” Christian let out a humourless laugh. “You have arranged my marriage without so much as consulting me.”
His gaze flickered towards his father.
“Surely this concerns my life as much as the company’s.”
Luke shifted uncomfortably but remained silent.
Leonard regarded his grandson steadily.
“If you intend to take the position of CEO of Knight Group, you will marry the young lady I have selected. If you do not, the position shall pass to Jake. He has expressed both readiness and enthusiasm.”
Christian’s composure fractured.
“I have devoted years to getting that role,” he said tightly. “You cannot attach marriage as a condition of employment.”
“I can,” Leonard replied evenly. “And I have.”
Christian exhaled sharply. “I am already in a relationship. You met Lia yourself.”
“I did,” Leonard said. “And I was not impressed.”
A brief silence settled over the room.
“The woman I have chosen for you,” Leo continued, “is accomplished, well-educated, and from a respectable family. She possesses qualities that endure beyond charm and flattery.”
Christian’s voice hardened. “And if I refuse?”
Leonard folded his hands. “Then you forfeit the company, the estate, and any claim to the Knight legacy. You will have two hours to gather your personal belongings. Nothing more.”
Luke rose from his seat. “Father—”
“The decision is made,” Leonard said calmly.
Christian stared at his grandfather, disbelief giving way to wounded pride.
“So that is it? Years of hard work reduced to a transaction.”
“No,” Leonard corrected. “Years of preparation culminating in responsibility.”
Christian straightened.
