Chapter 8 Shadow Packs Heiress. Felix nodded slightly . Hes fine Finished With that , he presented his gift nothing less than a world famous painting , a piece of land in Minespir valued in the hundreds of millions , and a whole host of other luxurious items . Eleanors eyes sparkled with delight , and she showered him with thanks , her gaze toward me now tinged with something else . The guests around us began whispering among themselves . Many knew that Alpha Hubert of Shadow Pack and Alpha Richard of Eclipse Pack had been close friends for over a century . But over a decade ago , for reasons unknown , Hubert had suddenly retired and led Shadow Pack into the remote , frozen land of Frostmoore . After more than ten years in hiding . Shadow Pack had faded from the recognition of many werewolf families on the continent . Still , Felixs extravagant gifts were enough to make anyone take notice , and I couldnt help but feel a pang of regret . My grandfather had wasted all this wealth by giving such luxurious gifts to the blind fools of the Eclipse Pack . After exchanging pleasantries with Caden , Felix left quickly , never even sparing me a glance . His cold attitude didnt go unnoticed by the guests or the Holbrooks . I was satisfied . Felixs gesture had firmly cemented my position as a lowly Omega who wasnt valued by Shadow Pack . Eleanor , ever the opportunist , would surely recognize the significance of her grandfathers lavish gifts . Once she realizes Im the Alpha of Shadow Pack , shell know I wont be going anywhere . As for Caden , if he ever finds out how much wealth I actually have , who knows what hell do ? He might not want to break the engagement after all . That Alpha of Shadow Pack sure is generous . I heard that his granddaughter is his first heir . I wonder what kind of elegant young lady she must be , one of the gossiping women remarked . Wendy looked at me , then at Felixs retreating figure , before curling her lips in a mocking sneer . Ive heard . that the heiress of the Shadow Pack isnt just graceful , but also quite formidable , wouldnt you agree ? Ms. Sinclair , since youre also from Eclipse Pack , have you ever met the heiress ? I shook my head , and the other women snickered , covering their mouths in laughter . The heir of Shadow Pack was practically a legend to outsiders . Very few knew her name , and even fewer had seen her in person . Oh , by the way , Wendy , didnt you meet Alpha Huberts granddaughter at the Phoshire Fashion Show ? Wendy glanced at me , then nodded . Yes , I did . Shes incredibly beautiful and noble . We even exchanged Twitter handles and had a lovely chat . She told me that shell visit me when she comes to Rivemon ! Ill introduce you to her when she does . Wow , Wendy , youre amazing !

I raised an eyebrow and asked , Are you sure you really met the heiress of the Shadow Pack ? Wendy flusteredly nodded . Of course I did . What ? I guess you must be very envious of Wendy . So what if you have the same surname as the Shadow Pack heiress ? Youre just a bumpkin compared to her , one of the women continued to mock . I smirked and walked away . These fools , so desperate to deceive themselves , were almost too ridiculous to watch . Wendy kept glancing at me , clearly worried I might expose her . I couldnt be bothered to do that ; watching her keep up the act was far more entertaining . Freya told me that ever since I finished playing the piano , Caden hadnt taken his eyes off me . I wasnt bothered by it . When I played , all eyes in the room were on me one more pair of eyes didnt matter . Then Freya spoke again . Caden is angry with you for ignoring him tonight . I took a sip of my sweet wine , glancing sideways at Caden . Sure enough , his expression was as cold as ice . I couldnt help but feel a surge of ridicule . This man was so petty . He must have expected me to fail like Wendy , just waiting to see me mess up . But Id outperformed her he probably never saw that coming . I had no interest in dealing with a self centered man like him . I decided to treat these three months as a personal challenge , a chance to develop some inner peace . It would be over before I knew it . I sat alone for a while , then I decided to leave early . Just as I was about to head out and grab a cab , I suddenly heard Cadens voice behind me.
