ooooh this is gonna be awful for ME, cause I'm so much more into the secretary than the grey haired dude, so I'll just drop…
Edit: Sorry for the folks who tried to warn me but like… I'm still incredibly invested in him :D He ain't innocent, but like… that's a much more compelling character than any of the other central ones.
“Imaginary evil is romantic and varied; real evil is gloomy, monotonous, barren, boring. Imaginary good is boring; real good is always new, marvelous, intoxicating.” — Simone Weil.
Like I said, I dropped cause I knew this was going to annoy me. So I decided to skim through it. I went through chapters 26-33.
IF I wanted to play the devil's advocate I could easily say he's to blame for leaving the drugs there, but not for anything else. Kinda like The Drama (2026), if the gun had accidentally gone off while Emma was at school. She had already given up on the mass shooting, even if she had prepared for it, she wasn't going to go through with it anymore.
He did spike the drink, but he gave up on that and was going to throw it out, he didn't give it to the boss nor did he mean for the boss to drink it anymore. Dude had gone back on his decision BEFORE it caused any harm and wasn't gonna go through with it no more. Everything that happened after that was on the pheromones, and we've seen the pov of an alpha in rut shown in a previous chapter — they can't hear, their senses are dulled, their consciousness reduced and they can't keep any line of thought.
But I ain't no devil's advocate so I'm really whatever about it all. That one Simone Weil quote about imaginary evil vs. real evil and all, characters with messed up morals are so interesting and, God! Am I curious about him?
He left his family for the rival company, worked under an omega, felt bad about being attracted to him, planned to assault him, gave up on that idea, it still came to bite him in the ass, got beaten up (deservedly), but instead of leaving, is is still somehow involved in the main plot, and I don't really get the thing with the other black haired character (cause I just skimmed), but like, I'm much more invested with his plot/storyline than the main one, like yeah Mc gotta get pregnant and have a baby but he doesn't want it to be from his biggest in-company rival, whom he regularly fucks, cool, can we talk about the industrial espionage or wtv going on in the other half?
He's not interesting enough for me to keep reading, tho, specially because I just find the alpha annoying, not for any "real" reasons, he's just the type of character that makes me roll my eyes, down to his design.
