Chapter 106
I couldn’t help but scoff. “Isn’t it Arman?”
The teacher’s expression turned smug, as if I’d just confirmed her point.
“Arman is Moon Shadow’s number two. Moon Shadow is a very powerful pack, and people in his position can… influence things.”
He looked at me with a mixture of pity and condescension. “For someone like him, securing an award for his girlfriend is simple. A student from an ordinary family like yours can’t hope to compete with that.”
I laughed softly, the sound edged with bitterness.
It was ironic, really. My whole life, my family had drilled into me the importance of humility and discretion.
My parents had always taught me to keep my head down, to avoid unnecessary trouble, especially for my brother and the Moon Shadow Pack.
Because of that, I kept my
identity hidden.
Few people knew who I truly was, even though many of my classmates had started to notice the subtle hints of my family’s influence–like the sleek limousine that picked me up each day after school.
Despite these hints, nobody knew that I was the sister of Moon Shadow’s Alpha, a title that carried: weight and power.
Linda, on the other hand, was quick to flaunt her connections.
As the girlfriend of Arman, Moon Shadow’s second–in–command, she strutted around like she owned the place, tossing her newfound influence about like confetti.
She even manipulated her connection to snatch up school awards meant to be given based on merit, not favoritism.
I took a steadying breath, trying to keep my voice even. “That’s not fair.”
The teacher barely looked at me, impatience painted across his face. He clearly wanted me out of his office. But I was going anywhere.
“I demand that the awards be re–evaluated and awarded fairly,” I continued firmly, placing the thick stack of information I had painstakingly prepared on his desk.
The teacher sighed, waving me off dismissively. “Look, you’re just a regular student. It’s best you don’t concern yourself with things that are out of your control.”
I held my ground, letting my words sink in. “So if my suggestion as an ordinary student doesn’t hold any weight with you,” I said, my tone turning steely, “what about my request as the Alpha’s sister?
Does that make a difference now?”
The teacher’s eyes widened, the color draining from his face as the reality of my statement struck
him.
His disbelief was almost comical, his gaze darting between me and the documents on his desk as if
searching for an explanation.
He let out a nervous chuckle. “Are you kidding? You… the Alpha’s sister? That’s impossible. I’ve reviewed your records. There’s nothing in there about… well, about any of this.”
I could see his confidence returning as he leaned back in his chair, now certain he’d caught me in a
lie.
“How dare you impersonate someone like that,” he said, voice rising in anger.
“I’ll inform the administration about your dishonesty. Tomorrow, every student will know about this, and all your academic merits will be revoked!”
With a sneer, he grabbed my carefully organized application materials and tossed them into the trash bin, as if throwing auroy all my efforts would somehow prove his authority.
My jaw clenched, but I held back the storm of frustration swirling inside me. “You’ll regret this,” I said quietly, my voice cold.
“By tomorrow, you’ll be coming to me, apologizing, with those same documents in hand.” I turned and walked out of the office, feeling his glare on my back.
Outside the faculty office, I barely had time to collect myself before I almost ran headlong into Linda. She was leaning casually against the wall, a smug smile plastered on her face, clearly having waited for me.
“Sophia,” she greeted, feigning sweetness. “I told you, didn’t I? You can’t compete with me, no matter how hard you try.”
Her smile twisted, satisfaction gleaming in her eyes. “Even if you wormed your way into Ryan’s life…

so what? Everything I want is always mine in the end.”
Istared at her, not even trying to hide the exhaustion on my face. “Linda, I’ve never understood why you hate me so much.” I paused, shaking my head.
“I thought you were only after Ryan, that your grudge was all about him. But now that he and I have moved on, you still seem determined to make my life miserable. Why?”
Linda’s expression faltered for a moment, her smile flickering. Then she straightened, her eyes narrowing as she leaned in closer.
You want to know why?” she spat, voice dripping with disdain. “It’s simple. I just hate you. From the
moment I first saw you, I hated you.
There’s something so satisfying about watching you fail.”
Her voice turned colder, and the bitterness in her words struck me like a slap.
“You think you deserve a future at some prestigious school like the University of British Columbia? Why should I go to a second–rate school when you’re going to such a great university? You deserve
it?”
