~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 ready as well?" I asked, feeling a sense of dread wash over me. "What if he's only doing this because our father made the arrangements?"

Leah rolled her eyes. "Stop being so dramatic, sis. He loves you. And even if he doesn't want this ceremony to happen, it doesn't matter. You're his mate. You have to fulfill your duty to the pack."

I opened my mouth to argue, but before I could say anything, Leah's mother barged into the room, her eyes scanning me from head to toe. "You're not fit to marry Alpha Blake," she spat. "You're nothing but a worthless mongrel. You don't deserve to be his mate."

I felt tears prick at the corners of my eyes, but I refused to let them fall. "I'm sorry if I'm not good enough for him to marry," I said, my voice shaking with emotion. "But I didn't ask for any of this. Our father made the arrangements without even asking for my opinion."

Leah's mother snorted. "Your opinion doesn't matter. You're a wolf. You have to do what's best for the pack."

Leah stepped forward, her eyes flashing with anger. "That's enough, Mom. You're not helping. Sis, don't listen to her. You've always been an amazing mate to Alpha Blake. You just have to believe in yourself, you two love each other, so trust in love."

I smiled weakly at Leah, grateful for her words of encouragement. Leah smiled back at me, her eyes filled with warmth. "Don't worry, everything will be fine. You'll make a beautiful bride."

Just then, Leah and her mother, Amanda, stepped out of the room. I prepare myself to go and meet them downstairs because my engagement is about to begin.

My heart was pounding in my chest as I walked down the aisle towards Alpha Blake, the love of my life. The alliance had been formed and we were to be engaged today, and I could barely contain my excitement. This was supposed to be the happiest day of my life, but little did I know it was going to turn into a nightmare.

As I approached Alpha Blake, he turned to face me with a solemn expression. His eyes, which used to be filled with love and adoration for me, were now cold and distant. I felt a pang of worry in my chest, but I pushed it aside, thinking it was just nerves.

"Alpha Blake," I said softly, smiling up at him.

"Hello, Sophia," he replied curtly.

I frowned slightly, wondering what was wrong. But before I could ask, Alpha Blake turned to the crowd of werewolves gathered around us.

"Thank you all for coming here today to witness the engagement ceremony of Sophia and myself," he said, his voice booming across the clearing.

There were cheers and applause from the crowd, but I couldn't concentrate on anything except Alpha Blake's strange behavior. Something was off, and I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

"However," Alpha Blake continued, his tone serious now. "I have come to a difficult decision. As the Alpha of the Night Walker pack, it is my duty to ensure the survival and prosperity of our kind. And with that in mind, I have decided to break off my engagement to Sophia."

My heart dropped to my stomach, and I felt tears prickling at the corners of my eyes. This can't be happening. Alpha Blake couldn't possibly be breaking up with me. We were meant to be together forever.

"I have instead chosen Leah, Sophia's stepsister, as my mate," Alpha Blake announced.

The crowd erupted into gasps and murmurs, and I felt my legs go weak beneath me. My stepsister? Alpha Blake had chosen my stepsister over me?

I turned to Leah, who was standing a few feet away, looking just as shocked as I was. But then she smiled, a smug expression crossing her face. A memory of how she confronted her mother and tell her that. "Mother, I want Alpha Blake to be mine! He got all I want, so please mother, do something!!" flashed across Leah's memory.

*****

"I'm sorry, Sophia," Alpha Blake said, his voice softening slightly. "But this is for the good of the pack. You understand, don't you?"

I shook my head, unable to find my voice. This can't be happening. Alpha Blake was supposed to love me, to want to spend the rest of his life with me. And now he was casting me aside for Leah, someone who had always been jealous of me and tried to undermine me at every turn.

I felt a hand on my shoulder, and I turned to see my mother, tears streaming down her face.

"I'm so sorry, sweetheart," she whispered.

And that's when the dam broke, and I began to sob uncontrollably. My heart was shattered, my dreams of a future with Alpha Blake now nothing more than shattered fragments.

As the crowd dispersed, I stood there alone, my heartbroken sobs echoing through the clearing.

I couldn't believe what had just happened. My mind was reeling, trying to make sense of the sudden turn of events. Why would Alpha Blake choose Leah over me? Had he never loved me in the first place?

The clearing was now empty except for my mother, who was trying to console me. But I couldn't be consoled. My heart felt like it had been ripped out of my chest, and I didn't know if I would ever be able to recover.

"Why did he do this to me?" I cried, burying my face in my mother's shoulder.

"I don't know, sweetheart," she replied, her voice shaking with emotion. "But we'll get through this together. I promise."

I nodded, knowing that I could always count on my mother to be there for me. But right now, I felt like my world had ended. Alpha Blake was everything to me, and now he was gone. How would I ever be able to move on from this?

The next few days were a blur. I stayed in my room, barely eating or sleeping, consumed by my grief and despair. My mother tried to coax me out of my room, but I couldn't bear to face the world. The thought of seeing Alpha Blake with Leah made my stomach turn, and I knew that I would never be able to forgive him for what he had done to me.

It wasn't until a few weeks later that I finally emerged from my room. I had no idea how much time had passed, but I knew that I couldn't stay holed up forever. My mother had been worried sick about me, and I knew that I had to at least try to move on.

As I walked through the pack's space, I couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness. This was my home, but it no longer felt like it is. Everywhere I looked, I was reminded of Alpha Blake and the life that we had planned together. Now, that life had gone, and I didn't know how to go on without it.

But I was determined to try. I would find a way to move on, to find happiness again. It wouldn't be easy, but I knew that I had to try. For myself, for my family, and for the pack that had always been my home.

"You've gone against our rules and disgraced our family!""I did what I had to do," I retorted, my voice shaking with anger.

"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

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.

"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.

But as I approached my door, I saw Leah standing at the entrance of my room, looking absolutely furious. Her werewolf fang fingers were popping out, and I could tell that she was on the brink of losing control."Leah, what is the meaning of this?" I asked cautiously, not wanting to provoke her further."I heard that you met with my husband, Alpha Blake, today," Leah said through gritted teeth.I was taken aback, then smile. But how did Leah know that I met with Blake today, besides it wasn't intentional. I don't even know why Blake show up at my working place, and there was never a romantic or inappropriate about our meeting."I did meet with Blake but, it was nothing like whatever you're thinking Leah," I said, trying to keep my tone even.

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

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.

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

Eventually, I mustered the courage to break it."We can't run forever, Blake," I spoke softly, my voice tinged with a mix of fear and determination.Blake glanced at me, his eyes filled with a mix of frustration and resignation. "I know," he admitted begrudgingly. "But right now, we need a plan. One that doesn't involve crawling back to Derick and Sophia."I nodded, understanding his reluctance. "Agreed. We can't rely on them anymore. We're on our own."Suddenly, the realization struck me like a bolt of lightning. "Wait," I exclaimed, my voice tinged with a glimmer of hope. "There might be someone who can help us."Blake's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Who?""The Crescent Pack," I replied eagerly. "They're neutral in this conflict, and they have the resources and strength to stand against Alpha Eduardo."A hint of intrigue flickered in Blake's eyes.

    The weight of our impending battle with Alpha Eduardo bore heavily on my mind as I paced the dimly lit room. Desperation led me to suggest an unlikely alliance with the Moon Stone Pack, knowing that their strength could be crucial in our fight against the tyrant alpha. The weight of my suggestion hung heavily in the air as Blake's fury flared, his grip tightening around my neck. His eyes glowed with anger, and for a moment, I feared he might do something irreversible. When he finally released me, I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself."Listen to me, Blake," I urged, my voice resolute. "I know our history with Derick and Sophia is complicated, but this isn't about pride or past grudges. Alpha Eduardo is a true threat, and we need all the help we can get."Blake's face contorted with frustration, but he seemed to consider my words. "I can't believe I'm even considering this," he muttered, rubbing his temples."It's not easy for any of us," I admitted. "But desperate times call

Suspicion gnawed at me, and without hesitation, I veered off onto a secluded road leading up to Hill Mountain. If someone was following me, I wanted the advantage of surprise.My heart raced as I parked my car in a desolate area surrounded by dense bush. I remained inside, gathering my strength and preparing to confront whoever lurked outside. Thoughts raced through my mind—could it be Derick and Sophia, sending someone to keep an eye on me? But I couldn't catch a whiff of their scent, raising my suspicion further.Stepping out of my car, I failed to check my side mirror, a mistake I would soon regret. Before I could react, a force struck me, and darkness enveloped my consciousness. When I regained awareness, I found myself confined within the confines of an opulent mansion.

"You took everything from us, Blake. You manipulated and destroyed innocent lives, and now you've taken Professor's life as well. I won't let you get away with this."Blake sneered, his face contorted with a mix of arrogance and malice. "You were always so predictable, Derick. It's amusing to watch you play the hero. But mark my words, your fate will be no different than that of your precious Professor."As their words clashed like swords, a sudden commotion echoed through the mansion.
