Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below **Chapter 47: Prove Your Worth** **Natalie's POV:** Seated in the president's office on the 37th floor of the Scott Group's towering office building, I found myself captivated by the sprawling metropolis that lay beneath me.

The city was alive, pulsing with energy, yet here I was, isolated in a world that felt both familiar and foreign. I was on a mission to familiarize myself with the intricate workings of this vast empire, an empire that had once been my father's-an Alpha of the Moon-Shadowed Pack, a legacy now resting on my shoulders. As I gazed out, lost in thought, the sudden buzz of my phone jolted me back to reality. The chat group filled with familiar names from the Richardson Group lit up like a Christmas tree, a flurry of messages tagging me with a sense of urgency. "Natalie, when are you coming back?

We can't stand it here without you!" one message exclaimed, the desperation palpable. "Yeah, Natalie. I'm seriously considering handing in my resignation tomorrow..." another chimed in, and I could almost hear the sigh of defeat in their words. "Doesn't matter. I won't work here without Natalie. I busted my ass just to follow her." The loyalty in their messages struck a chord in my heart, yet the underlying concern was unmistakable. These were not the kind of people to complain lightly; something was indeed amiss. "What's going on?" I typed back, a sense of dread creeping in.

My reply unleashed a torrent of messages, each one more alarming than the last. Landon had taken Aaliyah to pitch a project to the Pynchon Group, only to have it shot down spectacularly. As the news spread like wildfire through the Richardson Group's main chat, it became clear that upon their return, Aaliyah had unleashed her wrath on my former colleagues. She reassigned their projects, slashed their bonuses, and today, she had even smashed a laptop in a fit of rage, piling on impossible tasks. A chill ran down my spine as a cold determination settled within me.

I had intended to give Landon a few more days to navigate his own mess, but Aaliyah's audacity in targeting my people was a line crossed. "Fine, she's doing 'great'!" I muttered under my breath, sarcasm lacing my words. After a brief moment of contemplation, I typed in the group, "Don't worry. Take a collective leave and forget about work for now. I'll sort it out." A wave of relief washed over the group, and the messages quieted. They trusted me, and that trust was a bond forged through years of shared struggles and victories.

It was a testament to the integrity I had built, and I intended to uphold it. I pondered my next move and made a call, my voice steady and resolute. "Get some pictures of Aaliyah being all lovey-dovey with Landon at the Richardson Estate these days and send them anonymously to Landon's mom, Grace." I knew Grace well; she viewed Aaliyah as a harbinger of misfortune for her son and a significant threat to the Richardson legacy. The moment she discovered Aaliyah's presence at Landon's home, the ensuing chaos would be monumental.

Letting Grace handle Aaliyah would not only shield my old subordinates from her tyranny but would also serve as a major headache for Landon. It was a perfect strategy, a win-win scenario. Just as I hung up, my assistant burst into the office, her demeanor sheepish and anxious. "Ms. Anderson, um... about the reports you asked for..." she stammered, her eyes downcast. Noticing her empty hands, I couldn't hide my irritation. "Where are the documents I requested?" I asked, my tone icy. "They...

they said you don't have access to the company's core data yet, so they can't give it to you." Her voice was barely above a whisper, clearly worn down by the bureaucracy of the higher-ups. I had only been back in the Moon-Shadowed Pack for a few days, yet the elders had been avoiding me like the plague. My knowledge of the core business was minimal at best, and I had no doubt that Penelope and Samuel were orchestrating this sidelining. If this continued, I would remain stagnant in the Moon-Shadowed Pack, a prisoner of their political games.

Just then, a knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. "Come in," I called out, and Samuel entered, exuding an air of confidence. Dressed in a tailored suit, he stood tall, embodying the essence of a true Alpha. He held several slender files in his hand and with a mere glance, dismissed my assistant. He placed the files on my expansive black rosewood desk, and I couldn't help but steal a glance. The documents detailed a subsidiary of the Scott Group, notorious for a failed project that had resulted in over a hundred million dollars in losses, its capital chain utterly severed.

"What's the deal?" I asked, meeting Samuel's gaze, which was adorned with a cool, mocking smile. "Word has it that back at the Richardson Group in Thorn Pack, you were quite the ace at snagging projects, especially when it came to turning around sinking ships," Samuel remarked, casually settling into the plush leather chair beside me, as relaxed as if we were discussing the weather. "Mr. Scott, your team surely has no shortage of skilled project hunters. Besides, I'm in management now, not directly handling specific projects," I replied, aware of his intention to bait me.

Yet, I maintained my composure, my voice and expression betraying nothing. Samuel leaned back, his hands clasped on his knees, nodding slightly, that ever-present smile lingering on his lips. "Sure, Moon-Shadowed Pack has its share of capable individuals. I understand, Natalie. You're eager to dive into the pack business. But if you can't win the approval of the elders and the top brass... my mother and I won't feel comfortable handing over the authority." "I suppose the elders' and the top brass' approval hinges significantly on you and Mrs.

Penelope Scott's stance, doesn't it?" I countered softly, a hint of mockery lacing my tone. Our eyes locked, and despite the smiles plastered on our faces, an invisible tension filled the air, thick enough to slice through. Samuel's tone remained light, yet there was an edge to it. "Hey, we're family. Don't treat me like the enemy.

I'm merely suggesting that if you can single-handedly save this project on the brink of collapse, it will lend a lot more legitimacy to your position when you take the reins, won't it?" He paused, allowing the weight of his words to settle before delivering the most challenging condition. "But here's the catch. You have to accomplish it all on your own, without tapping into any pack resources or your own assets. Prove your worth, truly earn the trust of everyone in the pack...

including me." Conclusion In the heart of the Scott Group's towering office, Natalie stood at a crossroads, her emotions a whirlwind of determination and anxiety. As she faced the daunting challenge laid before her by Samuel, the weight of her family's legacy pressed heavily upon her shoulders. The stakes were high, and the threat posed by Aaliyah loomed larger than ever, yet within the chaos, a flicker of resolve ignited.

Natalie realized that this was not merely about salvaging a failing project; it was about reclaiming her identity and proving to herself, her pack, and the world that she was more than just a name tied to a legacy. With her colleagues' trust as her foundation, she felt an unwavering strength surge within her, a reminder that she was not alone in this fight. As the chapter drew to a close, Natalie's resolve crystallized into a singular purpose. The challenge ahead was not just a test of skill, but a journey toward self-acceptance and empowerment.
