Mated to My Fiancé’s Alpha King Brother

6 Chapter 6

Seraphina’s POV 1

At exactly eight o’clock Monday morning, I stood on the top floor of Nightshadow Industries, my heart hammering against my ribs. The skyscraper practically dominated an entire block of Silver Moon Harbor’s most prestigious district, and through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the entire harbor sprawled beneath us like a glittering jewel. 1

“Welcome to Nightshadow Industries, Miss Knight.” Claire greeted me with elegant grace, radiating the natural authority of a mature

female, though her eyes held genuine warmth. “Let me introduce you to everyone.”

The office décor was sophisticated and refined-rich mahogany furniture accented with silver details, and the Nightshadow family crest

gleamed from every corner in polished chrome. Everyone I met was polite and welcoming, though I could sense their slight hesitation

when interacting with me. After all, omegas were indeed rare in such high-level corporate environments. 2

“The boss is still handling pack business out of town and won’t return until the weekend,” Claire explained as she showed me around my

work area. “You’ll be working directly for our Alpha-it’s quite an honor.”

Alpha… I swallowed hard. As an omega, I’d never imagined I’d one day work so closely with one of the most powerful Alphas in the entire

werewolf world.

“Sera, relax. We can do this,” Ayla whispered soothingly in my mind.

At ten o’clock, I received a text from Ophelia confirming she’d arranged Adrian’s interview at a new elementary school. Nervously, I

approached Claire to request time off to handle my son’s school matters.

“How old is your child?” Claire asked gently, without a trace of reproach.

“He’s four years old. His name is Adrian.” I took a deep breath. “He wasn’t planned, but he’s the entire meaning of my life.”

“Adrian-that’s a beautiful name.” Claire smiled. “And his father? Are you two still in contact?”

My heart plummeted. How could I explain that I didn’t even know Adrian’s father’s name? But I wouldn’t lie.

“Adrian’s father is someone I met at the Lunar Assembly five years ago. We… we only had one night together.” I lowered my head, bracing
