~Sophia Pov~Derick and I found solace in the peaceful haven we had created for ourselves, as we go on vacation beside ocean. The Moonstone Pack flourished under Derick's wise leadership, and together, we basked in the tranquility that had eluded us for so long."You know, Sophia," Derick said, a smile playing on his lips, "it's refreshing not having to constantly watch our backs."I chuckled, savoring the newfound freedom. "Indeed, Derick. It's a welcome change to be able to enjoy our lives without the constant threat of Blake and Mia looming over us."We strolled hand in hand through the lush, sun-kissed meadows surrounding our pack's territory. The soft rustle of leaves and the melodious songs of birds filled the air, creating a symphony of serenity."Remember when we used to fight tooth and nail just to survive?" I mused, a hint of nostalgia in my voice.Derick nodded, his eyes filled with a mix of pride and determination. "Those days are behind us now, Sophia. We've come a long w
Alpha Eduardo's presence loomed over our mansion once again, his towering figure casting a shadow of authority. Unbeknownst to him, Blake was concealed, hidden away from his prying eyes.Alpha Eduardo sniffed the air, his nostrils flaring as he detected the distinct scent of a wolf. His brows furrowed with rage, and he commanded his rogues to search every corner of the mansion. "Find Blake! If he's here, I will make Derick pay for his treachery."The rogues, obedient to their Alpha's command, scoured every room, their eyes darting with intensity. They turned over furniture, opened closets, and investigated every possible hiding spot, but Blake remained elusive.Alpha Eduardo's impatience grew with each passing second. "Where is he?" he growled, his voice laced with frustration. "Bring him to me, or I will tear this place apart!"The rogues returned empty-handed, their expressions filled with disappointment. "Alpha, we have searched every inch of the mansion. There is no sign of Blake,
~Alpha Blake POV~ I found myself back in the underground chamber, a hint of relief and anticipation in my chest. Derick and Sophia had surprisingly agreed to my proposal, and I was determined to use this opportunity to my advantage. The power balance had shifted, and I would try to manipulate their followers to support my cause.Positioned next to me, Derick's loyal rogues appeared guarded. They weren't willing to let their guard down, which I understood perfectly. I had caused their Alpha considerable trouble and hurt, and now it was up to me to rebuild their trust."Hey, you guys care for some wine?" I inquired with a friendly tone, trying to ease the tension in the room. They exchanged cautious glances, and one of them replied, "No, thanks."I noted their reluctance to engage with me on a personal level. It was clear that they were maintaining their professionalism, and perhaps a hint of suspicion lingered. I decided to press on, breaking through their defensive barriers."Come on
~Sophia~The MC took the mic, his voice booming through the venue. "Let's welcome the CEO of the party ball roll, Alpha Eduardo!" The crowd erupted into applause, hands clapping in unison. Alpha Eduardo made his way to the podium, his presence commanding the room. He collected the mic, his gaze sweeping over the eager faces before him."I welcome you all to the ball roll party," he began, his voice steady and confident. "But this year, ball roll will be different. You know, before, millionaires became billionaires by winning a ticket. But for tonight, you will all win more than money."I turned to Derick, a sense of curiosity and apprehension gnawing at me. "What is he up to?" I whispered, my eyes fixed on Alpha Eduardo.Derick's eyes narrowed, a thoughtful expression on his face. "Just like I thought," he murmured. "He might be up to something."Suddenly, a voice whispered urgently behind us, sending a shiver down my spine. "I don't think I can stay here. We need to leave now!"Deric
~Sophia pov~ I sat on my bed, staring at my reflection in the mirror as Leah rummaged through my closet for the perfect dress to wear for my engagement. "I can't believe this is happening," I whispered, feeling a knot form in my stomach. "I have always wanted this, but don't know it will happen so fast." Leah turned to face me, a look of confusion on her face. "What are you talking about, sis?" she asked. "You're getting engaged to the Alpha, the love of your life. This is what every wolf dreams of." "I know, but I didn't expect it to be this fast," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "I don't even know, maybe I am fully ready for this. I am afraid not to make any mistakes today." Leah shrugged. "It's about love, and also about duty. Our father made the arrangements. If Alpha Blake didn't want to marry you, this ceremony wouldn't have happened. It's an honor, sis. You should be grateful that you're getting married to the love of your life." "But what if Blake is not read
Three years ago, Alpha Blake arrived at our doorstep, and I can still recall the rush of excitement that surged through me. It was a moment I had dreamed of countless times. Alpha Blake, the very object of my affections, had come to meet my father. As he expressed his desire to choose me as his mate, my heart soared with joy. But that elation was short-lived.My father, stern as ever, promptly rejected Alpha Blake's offer. "I can't give you my daughter," he declared firmly. "She will find her own mate within our pack." Disappointment flooded over me as I heard those words. Alpha Blake attempted to speak, but my father cut him off, urging him to leave. And with a heavy heart, Alpha Blake complied.I couldn't contain my frustration. Confronting my father, I demanded to know why he had refused Alpha Blake's proposal. His response only fueled my anger. "I don't want you to leave our pack," he stated simply. "This is your home." But his words did little to quell my discontent, and I stormed
The next morning, I heard a knock on my door, and I was surprised who that could be, because I don't have any friends yet in Canada.I proceeded to open the door and, to my surprise, I saw a betrayer who called herself my stepsister.Anger began to boil inside as I asked her what she was doing here. I stood my ground as Leah glared at me with fury in her eyes. "You have no right to be here," she spat out."And who are you to tell me where to be or not? I work here now," I replied coolly. "And I won't be leaving anytime soon.""You have no loyalty to our pack!" she yelled. "You've gone against our rules and disgraced our family!""I did what I had to do," I retorted, my voice shaking with anger. "I had to leave that pack and start a new life for myself, since you betrayed me.""You could have gone anywhere else," Leah hissed. "But you chose to work for our biggest enemy, which makes you a betrayer also.""I didn't know it was owned by the enemy of the pack." I applied, trying to reason
After a while, I cleaned my face and came back to continue my work. Mia was still talking to others about me. I felt my heart sink as Mia's words echoed in my ears.The other employees started laughing and whispering among themselves. I tried my best to ignore them and focus on my work, but it was difficult with the constant chatter around me.I couldn't understand why they were treating me this way. Was it just because I was a rejected mate? Did they really think that I deserved to be treated with such disrespect?I took a deep breath and tried to shake off the negativity. I reminded myself that I was here to work and not to get caught up in office politics.But things only got worse from there. Mia walked up to me and started mocking me, telling me how pathetic I was for being banished from my own pack. I felt a lump forming in my throat as her words cut deep.Jessica, who is also an employee, joined in and started making jokes about me being a lone wolf with no pack. The other emplo
