Fated to the Alpha Who Killed Me

Chapter 61

:

Jade picked up the narrative. “He works as Operations Manager at Riverbend Corp. His salary is fifty–eight

thousand a year. He drives a seven–year–old sedan he’s still making payments on.”

I flipped through bank statements. They painted a picture of a man living on the edge of his means.

The door opened. Owen and Naomi entered. Naomi crossed to me and wrapped her arms around me. “Thank

you for saving my daughter’s life.”

Owen gripped the chair backrest hard enough to make it creak. “I want to challenge him. Pack law gives me

that right.”

I stood and held his gaze. “Uncle Owen, if you challenge Connor to combat, it will be over too quickly. What

if instead we made him destroy his own life? What if we gave him exactly what he thinks he wants, and

then took it all away?”

Naomi’s eyes lit with understanding.

“Exactly. Connor’s entire life revolves around that job. If he lost it all at once, he’d be destroyed without

anyone laying a finger on him.”

Jade leaned forward. “You want to get him fired?”

“Better. I want to make him think he’s gotten the opportunity of a lifetime. Something so good he quits his

current job voluntarily. And then I want that opportunity to evaporate into nothing.”

Owen stared at me for a long moment. Then a grim smile formed. “That’s crueler than anything I could do

to him in a fight.”

Back at Blackwood Manor, I sat on my bed staring at Daemon’s contact in my phone. What I needed was a

job offer prestigious enough to make Connor abandon his position. There was only one organization that

fit: Blackwood Dynamics.

I pressed call. Daemon answered after three rings.

“I need your help. I need someone in your HR department to send a job offer to a wolf named Connor

Hayes. Operations Director position, salary twice what he’s making now.”

“My company isn’t your personal toy,” Daemon snarled.

I made my voice soft. “That’s your final answer? Then I suppose I’ll have to call Dominic and Victoria. I’m

sure they’d be very interested to hear about how their son has been pursuing a twenty–year–old college

student.”

The snarl through the phone was pure Alpha fury. “You’re threatening me.”

“Send the offer letter, or I make one phone call.”

Something hit a wall through the connection. “Fine. Wait for me.”

Twenty–eight minutes later, Daemon stormed into my bedroom. His eyes blazed red. The scent of cold fury

rolled off him in waves.

“Talk,” he ordered. “What exactly do you need?”

I met his gaze without flinching. “One email from your HR department. A job offer for Operations Director

addressed to Connor Hayes. Salary ninety thousand. Start date in one week. He doesn’t actually have to be

hired. The offer just has to be convincing.”

Daemon’s eyes narrowed. “Connor is the one who cheated while his girlfriend was pregnant?”

I nodded. Daemon stared at me for a long moment. Something unreadable flickered in his eyes. “Wolf

Rejection Crisis. That’s a death sentence if it’s not caught early.”

“Lily survived. But she lost the baby. Connor doesn’t even know yet because he’s too busy fucking his side

piece.”

Daemon straightened. “Fine. I’ll have HR send the offer tomorrow morning.”

I held his stare. “Deal. The offer letter gets sent, and your secret stays buried.” I paused. “I’ll report to the

company on Monday morning.”

Then he was gone. I pulled out my phone and messaged Lily: “It’s done. The trap is set. Now we wait.”

Her response came immediately: “Let him burn.”

Monday morning, I dressed in a tailored black pantsuit and drove to Blackwood Dynamics. The HR director

Mara met me at the executive elevators.

She led me to an office with a nameplate reading “V. Goldcrest–Blackwood, Executive Vice President.”

Through the glass walls, I could see Daemon’s office directly opposite.

“Alpha Daemon has requested daily briefings at nine AM sharp,” Mara continued. “Is there anything you

need?”

“No. I’m ready to start immediately.”

My phone buzzed. Lily: “Connor just called me. He got the offer from Blackwood Dynamics. He’s ecstatic.”

At 2:00 PM, Daemon appeared in my doorway. He walked in and dropped an empty coffee mug on my desk.

“Coffee. Black, no sugar.”

I looked up. “I’m EVP, not your personal secretary.”

His jaw tightened. “Your job is to ensure I have everything I need to function effectively. That includes

making sure I’m properly caffeinated.”

I stood slowly and took the mug. When I returned with the coffee, I set it on his desk with just enough force

to make it slosh.

“Anything else, Alpha?”

Daemon took a sip. “Starting tomorrow, we have daily briefings at nine AM sharp. Don’t be late, don’t be

unprepared.”

“Understood, Alpha.”

He walked out. I waited until he was gone before checking my phone. Celeste: “Luna, could we meet?”
