Chapter 59: The Line Between Power and Ruin

Kian had spent years being underestimated.

First because of what he was—an omega in a world run by alphas.

Then because of where he came from—a nobody trying to carve a space for himself in a company that ate the weak alive.

But now?

Now people weren't underestimating him anymore.

Now, they were watching him.

Waiting.

Testing.

And Kian?

Kian was done letting them decide what he was worth.

It was time to remind them who they were dealing with.

The night after his meeting with Graystone, Kian sat in his apartment, the city lights flickering through the window as he sorted through the pieces on the board.

Mercer wanted a decision.

The board wanted certainty.

Adrian wanted him to be careful.

But careful had never gotten Kian anywhere.

And tonight, he was going to prove it.

A knock on the door pulled him from his thoughts.

He didn't need to ask who it was.
