I firmly warned him, "Mr. Field, control yourself." He immediately took on the commanding manner of high-ranking Beta and scolded me, "How dare a lowly Onega like you speak tolike this! You should feel lucky that I have an eye on you. Don't push your luck! His words lit a fire inthat I had been holding back. "You're the one who's out of line. You're old and despicable. You're no better than tr*sh!" "How dare you insult me!" Jed snapped as he grabbed my wrist tightly. "You're just an Omega assistant! How dare you show such disrespect to me!" I didn't expect him to lay a hand on me. Furious, I fought the urge to let Hera loose on him. Instead, I let out a cold snort and aimed a sharp kick at his groin.
His scream echoed through the room..

He stared coldly at Jed's wolf form and asked, “What's happening here?" Feeling the overwhelming force of Benjamin's Alpha presence, Jed quickly regained his composure and said respectfully. "It's a misunderstanding. Please don't be angry. She's only your assistant, Alpha. Can you give her to me?" "Give her to you?" Benjamin repeated icily, his expression darkening.

"As the Alpha of the Midnight Pack, I hereby expel you from the pack!" With that, Benjamin pulledout of the room, leaving Jed's groans behind.
I knew the Beta enforcers would soon cto take Jed away and throw him out of the pack.
Benjamin paid no attention. He stayed by my side, protectingas we left quickly.
I kept close behind, looking at his tall figure and feeling the warmth of his hand. Strangely, a sense of calmi washed over me, and even my heart began to race.

I couldn't deny it-I was beginning to develop feelings for him, But then, I remembered his warning about not choosing him as my mate. When we got into the car, I instinctively pulled my hand out of his grasp.
The car moved forward slowly, the silence between us thickening the atmosphere.
It wasn't until we arrived at the Southwells' Residence that I finally spoke, "Thanks for what you did earlier: If the company ever needs me, don't hesitate to ask.” Since I had caused him to lose a business deal, I felt I had to make it up to him somehow.
But Benjamin dismissedright away. "Just go back."
I knew he was proud. Being an Alpha, he likely didn't trust my st my capabilities as an Omega. So, without arguing, I turned and walked into the villa, Once home, a lingering sense of uncase stayed with me. To case my mind, I made a call to Thomas and gave him instructions.
