~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
~Derick Mondragon pov~ I was sitting at my desk, going over some paperwork, when my phone rang. I picked it up, not expecting anything out of the ordinary."Hello?" I answered."It's Lucas," a voice on the other end said, urgent and tense. "We're under attack."My heart dropped. Lucas was my second-in-command, and if he was calling me with news like this, it is serious. "Who's attacking us?" I asked."The Night Walkers," Lucas said, and I could hear the anger in his voice. "You know they've been our biggest rivals for years. They caught us off guard, but we managed to fight them off, we need you here right now."I stood up from my desk, adrenaline pumping through my veins. "I'm on my way," I said, and hung up the phone.I dropped by Mia's desk, my closest confidant, and asked her to follow me right now because the pack house is under attack. "Let's go," I said, and we rushed out of the building.As we drove to the pack's house, my mind was racing. The Night Walkers were known for thei
~Sophia~"Tell me, did night walk pack sent you here rejected mate?" Derick asked, and stared at me with a stern look on his face, as if trying to find any hint of a lie in my eyes. I shifted uncomfortably under his gaze, feeling like a criminal being interrogated. Mia stood behind him, a smug look on her face, clearly enjoying my discomfort."I don't know what you're talking about, Derick," I said, trying to keep my voice steady. "I wasn't sent here by anyone to spy on the company."Derick didn't look convinced. "Then why are you working for your biggest rival pack?" he asked. "Why did you choose to come here, of all places?"I took a deep breath, trying to steady my nerves. "I came here because I needed a job, and this was the only one I could find. I didn't know I was coming to work in a company owned by my pack enemy."Derick narrowed his eyes at me, as if weighing my words. "And why should I believe you?" he asked.I felt a knot forming in my stomach. How could I prove to him that
~Sophia~The next day, I woke up early, got dressed and prepared myself for work. As I locked my door and started walking towards the exist, I suddenly caught a familiar scent. It was the scent of a werewolf, and it was coming from the room next to mine.My heart started pounding as I realized who it might be. It couldn't be...could it? I knocked on the door with a sense of dread, and someone opened the door.It was my stepsister, Leah, stood there looking at me with a cold expression. "What do you want?" she asked, clearly not pleased to see me."What are you doing here?" I demanded, my anger started rising. "This is my place." Leah said and rolled her eyeballs. "Meaning, I live here now," she added, crossing her arms. "Do you have a problem with that?"I felt my jaw drop as I struggled to contain my emotions. This was the last thing I expected. "Why would you move here?" I asked, my voice trembling slightly."It's none of your business," Leah spat back, before slamming the door shut
