All Chapters of I teamed up with my ex-husband’s rival Alpha: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“There is no heartbeat, you have lost the baby”The ultrasound monitor was completely black and gray. The screen flickered slightly under the bright fluorescent lights of the hospital room. I held my breath and stared at the monitor with desperate hope. I squeezed my hands tightly together on top of the thin hospital blanket.Dr. Lewis moved the cold wand across my stomach again. He pressed down a little harder. The room was incredibly quiet. The silence was heavy and thick. It felt like a physical weight pressing down on my chest. There was no rhythmic whooshing sound. There was no fast heartbeat echoing through the small speaker."Sienna," Dr. Lewis said softly. He pulled the wand away and grabbed a white towel to wipe the gel from my stomach. He could not look me directly in the eyes. "I am so sorry. There is no heartbeat. You have lost the baby."The words hit me with the force of a speeding train. The entire hospital room tilted sideways. I grabbed the metal railing of the bed to

I blinked the heavy rain out of my eyes and stared at the man standing over me.He was exceptionally tall and his shoulders were incredibly broad. He wore a sharp charcoal gray suit that screamed wealth and power. His dark hair was styled immaculately despite the stormy weather. But it was his face that made my breath catch in my throat. He had sharp, aristocratic cheekbones and a strong jawline that looked like it was carved from solid marble. His eyes were a piercing shade of icy blue and they looked at me with absolute calculation.This was Dominic Vance.I recognized his face from the covers of major business magazines. He was the CEO of Obsidian Industries and the Alpha of the Obsidian Pack. He was a ruthless billionaire known for destroying rival companies and leaving a trail of bankrupt competitors in his wake. More importantly, he was Julian’s biggest corporate rival and most hated enemy."What are you doing here?" I asked and my voice shook violently from the freezing cold. I

The drive to the city center was fast. The Obsidian Industries building was a towering black skyscraper that dominated the skyline. We rode the private elevator up to the top floor. Dominic led me into a massive, state-of-the-art boardroom. The room was filled with expensive computer monitors and digital whiteboards.Four people were sitting around the long conference table. They were the elite tech team of the Obsidian Pack. When Dominic walked into the room, they all stood up immediately."Sit down," Dominic commanded and took his seat at the head of the table. He pointed a hand at me. "This is Sienna. She is the new Lead Software Architect for this company. She will be directing the Vanguard Destruction Project."The team stared at me in complete shock. A tall man with glasses frowned deeply. A woman with short red hair looked me up and down with obvious skepticism."Excuse me, Alpha," the tall man said carefully. "But is this not Julian Vanguard's ex-wife? She is a wolfless omega.

Three days passed in a blur of glowing screens and endless cups of black coffee.I barely left my new office. I spent hours reading the Obsidian source code. Dominic’s team was good, but they were very traditional. They wrote safe, predictable code. To beat Julian, we needed something aggressive. We needed software that moved faster than Vanguard’s system.Maya did not make it easy for me.On Wednesday afternoon, I requested access to the deep storage servers. Ten minutes later, my screen flashed red.ACCESS DENIED.I sighed loudly. I picked up my secure phone and dialed Maya’s extension. She answered on the first ring."Security," Maya said in a crisp tone."Maya, it is Sienna," I said calmly. "I need access to the deep storage servers. You blocked my request.""You only have clearance for the active project files," Maya replied smoothly. I could hear her typing on her keyboard. "Deep storage contains Obsidian pack secrets. I cannot let an outsider view those files without written pe

I did not break eye contact with Scarlett. The ballroom music played softly in the background, but the space between us felt tight and cold.Scarlett kept a smug smile on her face, but she shifted her weight slightly. Her hand dropped, resting on the side of her silver dress."What are you staring at?" Scarlett snapped. Her voice lost its smooth, socialite tone. It sounded sharp and defensive."I am just admiring your glow," I said smoothly. I took a single step closer to her. Julian stiffened, but Dominic stood right behind me, an unmovable wall of support.I did not expose my thoughts. I let a small, calm smile touch my lips."You should get some rest, Scarlett," I told her, keeping my voice very even. "Pregnancy is a delicate thing. You must take good care of yourself."Scarlett’s pale skin turned a shade lighter. She took a fast step backward, bumping into Julian’s shoulder."Shut your mouth, Sienna," Julian growled. He pulled Scarlett closer to his side. "You are just jealous. Yo
