Summary
“I watched you tonight," Minghao says. “You read every shift in that room. You made it through a minefield of politics and expectations. You understand the stakes. You know how to use the moment.” Another pause, and then: “That’s the kind of mind I want at my side.”
Hansol doesn’t miss a beat. “A beta and an omega,” he says, voice cool with mockery. “How the alphas will tremble before us.”
Minghao meets the challenge head-on. “They should.”
It lands between them with weight. Real and sudden.
And Hansol goes still. Minghao feels the change in him. The pause in his breath, the way something in his posture recalibrates.
“They should,” Hansol echoes, and this time, it sounds like a promise.
And Minghao sees it. The flicker of something almost feral in his eyes. Heat, yes. Hunger, even. But more than that: excitement. The shape of a man who has never been offered real power and is just now realizing he might take it anyway.
