Three Alphas, Fated To One, Played By One, But Mated To One-Chapter 79: Taking The First Step

Valerie’s POV

After a few days of training, my body was feeling better and it had gained strength.

However, Lizzie was still unavailable.

Every day, I would call her several times but she was still quiet.

Sometimes she would stir, though she never said anything.

I didn’t want to cause trouble or panic and expose her, so I have been worrying non-stop while trying to gain power and financial freedom.

Today after training and breakfast, I went to my office where Lady Bernice had Lilith prepare for me to make it easier to conduct pack duties as Luna.

However, this office has become convenient for my work.

Over the last few weeks, my coding has gone from theory to beginner, to expert level.

I hadn’t expected my understanding in computer science to be so profound.

Now, I can even hack into government servers and not be caught.

Just as I was writing a new program that could be used on mobile phones to transfer money safely, a chat box popped up at the right bottom corner of my laptop.

I immediately knew that it was either my mentor, or one of the few friends I had made on the dark web.

"Hey bro. Are you available for a chat?"

I opened the message and found that it was indeed my mentor.

We never shared our real details on the dark web, so, no one knew that I was just a teenage girl.

In fact, many assumed I was a graduate from a famous university finding a way in the world of hackers.

"Yes, I am available. Is anything the matter?"

I replied to the message immediately.

My mentor has taught me a lot and I have a lot of respect for him.

"Have you thought about entering the business world? With your skills, you can build a security company. Or just a tech company. I am sure you will not lack talent on the web."

It felt as if my mentor was a worm in my stomach.

I have been thinking about starting a company lately.

I have already done a few jobs that paid well and saved over ten million dollars.

For savings, that is a good amount and someone who wants to live a quiet life wouldn’t be able to use it all in their lifetime.

However, I have a lot to do, so this amount of money is nothing to me.

I have to earn money and also build power.

Starting a business was one of the best ways to gain power.

I plan to build an empire that could only be rivaled by the famously ruthless king of the werewolves.

It is said that he is not just a ruthless king and alpha, but in the business world, he is also feared due to his thunderous methods.

If I could gain that kind of power. The power where others could only mention my name in whispers, then I don’t mind working hard.

"I have thought about it. I will start a company. It’s just that, I don’t really know where to start."

I have been locked in the pack since I was a child and never left even once.

So, I knew nothing about the outside world apart from what I see on social media or read in books.

"Tell me what you need. I will register the company for you and rent a place. Come and take a look once it’s ready."

My mentor was indeed a lifesaver.

Without his help, I would be completely lost.

"Okay, help me register the company. I will send you the money and details. I think for now, I should start getting to understand the business world better."

I gave full authority to my mentor to handle the business registration.

In fact, after what happened with Karl, I am tempted to do everything myself, because I can only trust myself.

However, I can’t live like that in this world. So, I must build relationships with other people, even if it won’t be too deep.

"Yes, try to go out more and attend business dinners or meetings. It will help you to learn and build connections."

"I understand. Thank you, teacher."

After logging out of the chat, I finished what I was doing and decided to go see Mike.

I might have a problem with him as my mate and as a human, but I don’t have a problem with him as a business man.

The pack had a huge company run by pack members and also some human talents hired from all over the world.

It is one of the few biggest companies in the city.

I didn’t waste time.

If I hesitated, I might start overthinking things, and that wasn’t something I could afford right now.

This wasn’t about Mike as a person, but an opportunity.

An opportunity to know people and gain connections.

By the time I reached Mike’s office, my expression was already calm and composed.

Ever since I moved to the main house, I hadn’t been to Mike’s office.

I just had Lilith monitoring it just in case something happened.

I knocked once on the door but got no response.

I knocked again, but I still didn’t get a response.

I could hear some noises coming from the office, so I knew that Mike was there.

What’s more, the lingering scent in the air gave him away.

Others might not be able to smell him, but as his mate, even the faintest scent sent tingles all the way from my head to my toes.

So, I was sure that he was in the office.

Feeling the suffocating feeling in my chest, I didn’t need an expert to tell me why he wasn’t answering the door.

He was probably with Innocent again.

Without waiting any longer, I pushed the door open.

And immediately wished I hadn’t.

Just as expected, Mike was in the office, and he wasn’t alone.

He was leaning against his desk, with Innocent sitting on top of the desk and trapped between his long legs.

One of his hands tangled in Innocent’s hair while the other was wrapped around her waist as he kissed her like he had no care in the world.
