I was relaxing on my couch, with a sad expression, flipping through channels on the TV when I heard someone yelling my name from outside. I quickly got up and rushed to the door, wondering who it could be. As soon as I opened it, I saw Miranda standing there, her face flushed with emotion.
"Sophia!" she exclaimed. "I need to talk to you!"
I raised an eyebrow, feeling wary because I don't expect to see her after the confrontation, last night. "What's going on, Miranda? Why are you shouting like that!"
Miranda took a deep breath and looked me straight in the eyes. "I had nothing to do with your parents' death," she said firmly. "I don't belong to the black bird wolves pack, and I don't know anything about them."
"I don't buy that, please, leave Miranda." I said and turned.
"Wait, Sophia, please believe me, I am ready to prove my innocently."
I nodded slowly, and turned back to her, still feeling skeptical. "How did you know the person who owns the coffee shop, then?" I asked.
Miranda hesitated for a moment before replying. "I used to work there, before I got my job at Mondragon's company," she said. "But I never found out anything about the black bird wolves pack in their mist."
I nodded again, but I wasn't completely convinced. "What about your own parents?" I asked. "Are they still alive?" I asked because the parents of black bird wolves pack Alpha is dead.
Miranda's expression darkened. "Yes, they are," she said. "They live in Florida, where our pack is."
I felt a pang of sadness inside me, thinking about my own parents. But I knew I couldn't blame Miranda for their deaths. I needed to forgive her.
I hugged Miranda tightly, feeling tears welling up in my eyes. "I'm sorry," I whispered. "I shouldn't have doubted you."
But just as I let go of Miranda, someone grabbed my hair from behind and pulled me back. I stumbled and turned around, coming face to face with Leah, my half-sister.
"What the hell are you doing, Leah?" I shouted, trying to shake her off.
Leah didn't let go, instead pulling me closer and screaming into my face. "It's your fault!" she yelled. "You brought this on our family! The black bird wolves pack wanted you, not our parents! They died because of you!"
I was horrified by Leah's words, struggling to break free from her grip. Miranda stepped forward, placing herself between us.
"That's enough, Leah," Miranda said, her voice cold and steady. "Sophia is grieving too. She doesn't deserve to be treated like this."
Leah sneered at Miranda. "You can talk all you want," she said. "But the fact remains that Sophia is responsible for our parents' deaths. You and her, can rot in hell for all I care."
With that, Leah let go of my hair and stormed off, leaving me shaken and confused. I sank to the ground, feeling tears streaming down my face. Miranda crouched down beside me, putting an arm around my shoulders.
"It's okay, Sophia," she murmured. "I'm here for you."
I nodded, grateful for Miranda's support. But deep down, I knew that things were only going to get worse from here.
Miranda's phone beeped, interrupting our moment. She dug it out of her pocket and stared at the screen for a moment before turning to me. "I'm sorry, Sophia, but I need to be somewhere right now. Take care, okay?" With that, she left my apartment and headed out into the night.

Taking a cab, Miranda made her way to a dark and empty parking lot. Miranda suddenly strangle the cab man from behind, with the seatbelt. She quickly got out of the cab and walked away, leaving the cab behind. She then reached into her pocket and pulled out a car key, which she used to unlock a sleek and expensive-looking Lexus Jeep parked nearby. Miranda got behind the wheel and drove off, leaving the city lights behind and heading deep into the woods.
Finally, she arrived at a large and imposing mansion, which stood tall and foreboding against the night sky. Miranda parked the car and made her way inside, taking in the opulent and expensive furnishings that adorned the interior. Everything was black and sleek, giving the impression of a place where secrets were kept and dark deeds were done.
Without hesitating, Miranda made her way up the stairs to a large and ornate living room, where a group of rouges were waiting for her. As she approached, they all bowed down, showing their respect and submission to their leader.
Miranda took her seat on the throne-like chair at the head of the room and looked out at her followers. Mr. Edward, who harass Sophia at the coffee shop was standing at Miranda's right hand. And the owner of the coffee shop, was standing at Miranda's left hand. They're both in black expensive suit.
Miranda laughed a dark and sinister laugh, reveling in the power and control she had over these people. For Miranda was not just any rogue; she was the leader of a powerful and dangerous pack, a group of wolves who would stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
As she sat there, surrounded by her followers, Miranda knew that the world was her playground and that she could do anything she wanted. She's not yet a wolf, but she believes that one day, she will become a wolf, a creature of the night, and nothing will stop her.

Derick sat in his office chair, trying to focus on his work but his mind kept drifting back to the kiss he shared with Sophia under the pouring rain. He let out a frustrated sigh and slammed his laptop shut. "What's wrong with me? Has that rejected mate cast a spell on me?" he muttered to himself, regretting the kiss they shared.
Unable to resist the temptation, Derick grabbed his phone and sent Sophia a message asking to meet up. Sophia's phone beeped with the notification but she didn't check it as she was grieving over the loss of her parents.

Meanwhile, Blake had gathered all his rouge and introduced Mia as their new recruit. Most of the members were not in support of her joining as she was once a rival pack member. Mia was aware of their suspicion and tried to convince them that she was now on their side. However, Blake had no patience for dissent and killed the rouge who didn't support Mia's recruitment.
"From now on, Mia will be my right-hand man," Blake declared. Mia felt a sense of unease, knowing that she had just become a pawn in Blake's game. But she had to play her part, at least for now.
Back to Derick, he waited impatiently for Sophia's reply, knowing that he had to control his emotions and focus on the bigger picture. But with Sophia, everything seemed to be falling apart. He knew he had to set things straight and clear his mind.
He decided to go to her condo and check on her. When he arrived, he knocked on her door, but there was no response. Worried, he tried to force the door open, but it was locked. Derick then shifted into his wolf form and used his enhanced senses to check if Sophia was okay.
Meanwhile, Sophia was deep asleep, unaware of Derick's presence. Blake and Mia were discussing their next move in Blake's hideout, and Mia was sharing some inside information about Alpha Derick's pack, which she had gathered during her time with them. Blake listened intently, his eyes glittering with greed.
Derick still outside Sophia's condo, waiting for her to wake up, while Blake and Mia continued to plan their next move against Alpha Derick's pack.
