CHAPTER THREE

Chapter Three

Sophie

I glared at the screen, smiling to myself as I assessed the damage I had done.

I had just hacked Alpha Reece bank account and transferred 10 million dollars to my duplicate account without leaving any trace behind.

This wasn't the first time I was hacking his account. But this was the highest I had ever stolen from him—well, not stolen, because the money actually belongs to me.

My late father was the Alpha of the Obsidian Pack, while my mother was his beloved Luna. They ruled together with dignity and prestige, until Darren, the pack beta, planned with his men to kill them. He had ordered them to rip out their hearts, so it will look like the shapeshifter demon did it, and no one was ever going to avenge their deaths.

But what Darren didn't know was that I was aware he killed my parents, and I was going to stop at nothing until I had brought him down and avenged their deaths.

You must be wondering where and how Reece came into the picture, I'll tell you.

Reece, the name alone was enough to make me puke. He and my parents had been rivals since forever. I had never had any previous encounter with him, until the previous mating ball. But I detested him with all my might. My parents always spoke of how he was so proud and full of himself.

Reece had threatened to kill my parents on numerous occasions, and after their deaths, he went to the Lycan king and claimed ownership of my parents secret company, which was supposed to be my inheritance.

He had claimed my parents loaned money from him and used the company as collateral if they couldn't pay it back. But I knew that wasn't true; we never even had any financial issues, and even if we did, the company was generating more than enough money to sustain us for a lifetime.

After Reece took possession of the company, I enhanced my hacking skills and made a personal promise to myself that Reece wasn't going to use any money from the company because all the money belonged to me; it was my inheritance. And so far I've been living up to that promise by regularly hacking his account, and I didn't plan on stopping any sooner, at least not until I have taken possession of my inheritance and brought him down.

A loud knock resounded on my door as I instantly slammed my laptop shut and rushed quickly to my bed, pretending to be asleep. No one could know my true identity as a hacker; they didn't need to know.

"Sophie, come on, get up!". Aurora's raspy voice echoed loudly in my ears. I slowly squinted my eyes open and rubbed weakly at my eyelids, pretending I just woke up.

"Come on. Get up and get dressed." She yelled, rushing towards my wardrobe and pulling out a green flower-printed gown. Aurora was just like a younger sister to me. No, she was a younger sister to me. After my parents deaths, I had moved to the Blue Moon Pack, where I lived with my mother, sister Laura, and her three daughters.

"What do you want, Aurora?" I breathed out

She let out a frustrated scowl as she pulled out two eyeliners from her make-up back, starring at them like it was her first time seeing such.

"Aurora?". I questioned, sitting uprightly.

"Green is definitely your color." She smiled brightly as she leaned into me with the green eyeliner. I shifted backward.

"Can you just tell me what is going on?". I whined, my voice much louder than I had intended.

"Gosh, Sophie, I can't believe your so clueless. There's going to be another mating ball today in the Obsidian Pack, and who knows, you might even find your perfect match this time." She exclaimed, leaning into me once more with the eyeliner. I took a step backwards, as a frown formed on the corners of her lips.

"Come on, Sophie, I have a good feeling about tonight's mating ball. Even my wolf, she's been restless; she feels you will meet your prince charming today, and she's so excited for you.".

"Fine. But you will come with me."

"Yes. Yes. Yes". She squealed, jumping and clapping her hands together.
