Chapter 53: Chapter 53

While Elsa and Greg were talking, I walked around the headquarters of Travis Entertainment. Being the main company of the group it is normal that its head office is so impressive. There were hundreds of people coming and going without the company lobby and hallways. The structure was magnificent, it looked like an architect from the future had helped design it. It's incredible, I had heard during the gala when Elsa had taken me that Greg was at the origin of the great futuristic leap of this city but at this level, I can only be impressed.

A normal human who would do such feats in a city full of mythical creatures, I still can't get it off my mind that he's a lycanthrope and maybe... Considering Soul Moon is the most powerful of this city, that it almost controls it with its powerful and horrible Alpha, could it be that Greg is also a member of this cursed pack like Elsa, Pamela, and Rayan?

That would explain a lot of things, Greg having the blessing of this bastard would do business smoothly, and being very talented would be a success. To think of Greg being used by that asshole to bring more prestige to his pack even though he's a member of it pisses me off.

But at the same time, I don't know what to think now, my earlier questions coming back to me.

If Greg is a lycanthrope, he would be a powerful alpha given his charisma and dominant aura, and if he's Soul Moon being so close to Elsa... what should I do? I could never hurt Greg, even out of pure hatred and revenge for his pack I couldn't bring an action that could hurt him.

But at the same time, it's not just that, that worries me. If Greg is an alpha, the little things I picked up on him when we kissed... Could he be my alpha? That would explain why he's been hiding all this time.

No, I have to calm down. It's not because it's my wish that I have to start dreaming this way. But faced with this kind of coincidence and above all evidence, what should I do if my mind starts to wander?

But the more he wanders, the more I feel oppressed. I'm afraid that my assumptions will turn out to be real and that they will turn into worries. I love them both so much, it's repugnant, especially for my alpha but I have to admit I'm still in love with Greg despite the years and the changes in my life. I can't deny it anymore but that doesn't mean I despise my alpha and that's what makes me so lousy. I'm also in love with my alpha, I want him so badly even without knowing his face. I guess my wolf nature influences my feelings but at the same time who wouldn't love a man with such an amazing body?

Ah, I'm a beautiful piece of trash, how can you even love two men with such intensity? Before I would have said it's nostalgia for Greg and nature for my alpha, but no, me Sophia Carpenter I want to fuck with two guys.

It does not surprise me in fact, I am a despicable person and it does not date from today, my whims to my mother, my romance with Chad because he was loved by Stacy, and also because he was the boy who was the most popular in high school, my fling with Alen while I was dating Chad.

It's really sad but hey it's me what can I do about it? And now is not the time to have a self-deprecating attitude. I'm me and I can't change it, I don't even want to.

I took this ridiculous introspection away from me to focus on the men who share my heart. My alpha and my ex, the one I liked, not Chad.

I feel more and more disturbed by all of this. I was so deep in thought that I didn't notice the stares I received as Greg's assistant led me to one of the corporate relaxations. Many people came to say hello or just have a coffee and I understood that it had to be a kind of break.

People were giving me curious looks and I ended up frowning as a few seemed to whisper amongst themselves.

What was the problem again?

" Well here is the cafeteria."

Again this monotonous voice borrows from contempt, I know it may seem unfair but I have nothing to do with this story. I too am aware of the whims of Elsa and Greg.

A woman came in with a look full of condescension and I knew it was going to be a bad experience. For my first day of work, I was already being hazed and it was not in anticipation of good weather. No, I had the unpleasant impression that these people here, all to be precise, had a grudge against me.

Is it the fact that their longtime colleague would leave because of me whose references are not known?

But it's not as if he's fired anyway... Or just the place alongside Greg is such a privilege that having to lose it to a total stranger makes it cruel. I can understand it, being around Greg is... Ah, unbelievable.

But it's not my fault. I need to calm down and make a good impression.

I held out my hand to the woman in front of me, putting my best smile on my lips as I greeted her.

" Hello, my name is Sophia Carpenter. Nice to meet you, take care of me."

The woman looked at my hand as if it were a disease before looking at the assistant.

" So this kid is going to take your place? Ah, the world is incredible, it's good to have such high-placed relations and to be able to be boosted by Elsa in person. Regardless of her qualifications."

She finished her sentence spitting out the last words like a curse as everyone looked at me with contempt. It was the first time I received such looks, I have always admired and envied them, it was a debut rest for me.

And it wasn't very uplifting, I felt so uncomfortable, all those judgmental looks, I felt like a nerd in high school, a nerd, the kind I looked down on knowing I wouldn't be never in their place.

I bit my lip in embarrassment feeling those oppressive, mean looks on me not to mention the whispers which weren't whispering since I heard all the atrocities being said about me.

My eyes started to sting with tears as I could see Greg's assistant out of the corner of my eye seeming to gloat over my misfortune.

He must hate me.

" What is happening here?"

Greg's cold voice shook the whole room as I turned to him with trembling eyes.

" Sophia?"
