Lahat ng Kabanata ng Alpha’s Temporary Companion: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Sophia's POVI moved to a new city.Two years later, after a few different jobs, I landed an offer from a top Wall Street investment bank. A million dollars a year. A dream job for many elite werewolves.But I turned it down."You're sure you want to pass on that investment banking job?" Emma stared at me in the coffee shop. Her pheromones practically screamed confusion. "That's a million a year! And it's a position specifically for elite werewolves!""I'm sure." I turned my laptop towards her. The screen showed code I'd written. Lines and lines of it. Two years of pain and thought poured into every one. "Look at this."Emma leaned closer. Her eyes widened. Her wolf instincts picked up on how special this project was. "This is... a werewolf social platform? Just for us?""Designed specifically for mates who've been abandoned." I clicked through the demo. Every interface had werewolf cultural touches – moon phase trackers, pheromone compatibility analysis, pack support systems. "Anonymo

Sophia's POV"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the New York Tech Summit!"This was Phoenix's first big debut. The audience was packed with global tech elites and investors, including legends from the werewolf business world."And now, please welcome the founder of Phoenix, S. Moon!"Thunderous applause. I took a deep breath, kept my pheromones calm and confident, and walked to the center of the stage.I scanned the audience. A habit. Then, my eyes locked.Alexander. Third row. Lily on his arm.Even from this distance, I could smell his familiar Alpha pheromones. And… despair.Lily wore an expensive Chanel suit. A diamond necklace I'd never seen before glittered at her throat.Our eyes met. Alexander's jaw dropped.But I just smiled faintly and began my speech."Three years ago, I was an Omega who lost herself for an Alpha who wasn't worth it." My voice carried clearly through the hall. "Today, I stand here because I learned one thing – never underestimate a werewolf woman who gets back

Sophia's POV"Wait, I have something even better." Emma looked towards the venue exit, a cold smile on her lips.She walked back to the podium, connecting her phone to the big screen."Since Ms. Lily was so concerned about our founder's 'special means,' I think everyone should know about her 'special means.'"A photo appeared on screen: Lily, arm-in-arm with an unfamiliar Alpha on the Champs-Élysées in Paris."This was taken three months ago. Ms. Lily in Paris, dating Pierre, the heir to the Lyon family."Whispers spread through the audience.Emma swiped, more photos appeared. "Two months ago, her with oil tycoon Sheikh Mohammed in Dubai."Another photo: Lily in a bikini, snuggled up to a blond Alpha on a yacht in Monaco."And one month ago, an intimate photo with Marco, heir to an Italian Mafia family."The place erupted.I stood on stage, looking at the evidence. I felt nothing. The woman who once caused me so much pain… this was what she really was.Emma's voice continued, "What's i

Alexander's POV"Mr. Alexander Blackwood, as of today, you are no longer CEO of Blackwood Industries. All operational and decision-making powers are revoked."In the boardroom, the board members looked at me coldly. Like I was a stranger."Uncle..." I looked at the Patriarch, a last, desperate attempt."Alexander, you've caused the family too much damage," the Patriarch shook his head. "Seventy million in losses, and that woman's threat with werewolf secrets... The board has lost all trust in you."When I left the building, a mob of reporters was at the entrance."Mr. Blackwood! Is it true Blackwood Industries is bankrupt?""What's your response to Ms. Lily's fraud allegations?""Is it true the Werewolf Consortium has terminated all cooperation with your family?"Flashes blinded me. I fled like a criminal.Back home, my mother lay in bed, her eyes full of disappointment when she saw me."It's all ruined... everything..." she said weakly. "Alexander, do you know how many generations it

Sophia's POV"Ms. S. Moon, there's a man downstairs who's been waiting for three days. Security says it's Alexander Blackwood."My assistant reported carefully, afraid to upset me."Let him wait." I didn't look up from the contract I was reviewing. "If he disturbs employees, call the police.""Yes, Madam."On the fourth morning, I looked down through the floor-to-ceiling window. Alexander was still there. Wrinkled suit, stubble, holding a coffee cup.He looked pathetic."Ms. S. Moon, the man asked me to give this to you." The head of security walked into my office with a coffee.I took it, sniffed it, and sneered. "Latte, three sugars, cinnamon powder?""Yes.""Tell him I don't drink lattes. I drink Americanos. Black. No sugar." I pushed the coffee back. "That's Lily's preference, not mine."The security chief paused. "You mean... he doesn't even know what you like?""Three years of a 'deep' relationship, and he doesn't know what coffee I drink." I said coldly. "Ironic, isn't it?"In t
