Chapter16 Paving Her Own Path

Ember's Pov

I made my way to where the other Alphas registered their names, and had to endure their questioning gazes.

It didn’t matter so much at first, but as I walked away, I heard the voices that might have made a weaker woman doubt.

"what does she think she's doing?" I heard one say,

"Apparently, what the rest of us are trying to do." another replied in a mild tone. But he too sounded somewhat cynical.

"I heard she only just started working in her company, and already she's trying to gain an upper hand. Some people can be ambitious. It's distasteful as a woman if you ask me." the first one said.

"go big or go home." someone else said dryly and I wrinkled my brow.

I was confused. Did they think I wasn't a werewolf and could not hear them? Or perhaps they simply did not care whether I heard them or not.

Well, I wasn't going to let them stop me. In any case, their words only fueled my fire and increased my desire to win.
