Credence is a beautiful if not shy omega, and he's of the age where he'll be getting many alpha suitors.
Graves, handsome, tall, successful, strong, in control alpha that he is, is the natural choice. He begins rather aggressively courting Credence, who is pretty resistant, or at least indifferent, but he isn't ruling Graves out or anything.
The only problem for Graves is that Newt, the bumbling beta who is somehow effortlessly charming in his awkward neurosis, has a major crush on Credence, and starts courting him too. He shouldn't be a threat except Credence is receptive to Newt's courtship (it's the animals let's be real).
Graves doesn't understand why Credence would prefer a beta over a literal perfect alpha? Cue Graves stepping up his game, rivalry tropes. Maybe he even challenges Newt to a duel?
