Chapter 1


    Chapter 1: Just Three Days


    She’s heart skipped a beat when she heard the sound of the Rolls Royce pulling into the car park


    of the packhouse.


    The Dark Moon Pack had one of the most luxurious pack houses, requiring the services of omegas


    all the time. The Alpha had been away on an important journey and no one knew how long it was


    going to take.


    His sudden arrival caused the omegas to hasten about their duties as if walking on eggshells as


    She spoke to her most trusted friend with a heavy heart.


    “You have to go. Alpha Nick is back. Please use the back door so he doesn’t see you. He is quite


    sensitive so don’t let him catch your scent.”


    Seated on the curvy kitchen stool, her most trusted friend, Goldie, felt an inexplicable pain in her


    chest. “Why should you be afraid of your husband? You even call him by his title.”


    Sneaking in and out to see her best friend as if she were some kind of ex-convict. This was too


    much for her to take, and she was tired of it.


    “Sherry, you have suffered for too long. If things continue like this, I will drop a hint of your


    whereabouts to the Alpha King.”


    She froze with a start at the mention of her papa. He was the most powerful Alpha that ever lived,


    ruling the south, east, north, and western America. Even her seven brothers were still struggling to


    match his strength and capability.


    Moreover, nobody could take the Kingship title until he gave up the ghost. All this while, She had


    lived away, keeping her marriage from him after being disowned because she wanted nothing to do


    with the pack business.


    Giving up everything just to be by the side of the only man she ever loved, her father would still


    send his strongest warriors after her if he found out about how she lived like a soulless creature.


    She was always full of life. Though having schooled in the human world, she also practiced


    martial arts secretly.


    She studied fashion design and ethical hacking but after just six months of marriage, she became


    like an old housewife, losing her sense of fashion and making herself a doormat for her husband’s


    pack and family.


    “No, please don’t. Things will soon change, and I will let Papa know about it. Nick will love me. He


    just needs time.” She ensured not to address him by his title this time around, though her tone was


    loaded with sorrow, as if afraid.


    She knew that her father would take her back at any time, but he just wouldn’t approve of her


    marriage to a man who never valued her.


    “I hope so,” Goldie said dismissively before rising from the kitchen stool she sat on. She opened


    the door to the back for her.


    “Quick. Please don’t let his warriors see you.”


    Goldie was unhappy but obeyed. It was easy escaping the warriors because they were infatuated


    with her.


    Most of them thought she was a friend of one of the omegas.


    As soon as she left through the open back door, an elegant man walked in through the front door,


    and She rushed to meet him in the living room, ensuring to maintain a good distance between


    them.


    His aura was intimidating, his movements graceful like the sunrise, as he ogled at her with cold


    eyes. “She, we need to talk.”


    As usual, there was no emotion in his voice. It carried the chill of the winter breeze.


    She panicked, as she already heard rumors among the omegas that his mate had returned. Most


    probably, it was the reason for his recent impromptu travel.


    One of the warriors hurled his luggage up the stairs.


    “Alpha Nick, you just came back from a long journey. Please eat first, or your food will get cold.”


    She dared not address him without a title like she casually did to please Goldie in his absence.

    Trying to avoid the conversation, which she guessed would not be good, she quickly turned around


    to go get the food, but his cold and yet mellow voice caused her foot to halt.


    “This is more important. Sit and let’s talk.” She obeyed like a frightened deer. She has always


    been obedient to him, so he would care about her, but that hadn’t worked so far.


    Alpha Nick dropped his briefcase on the center table, and She dared not touch it. Throughout


    their marriage, they lived in separate rooms, and he treated her like a stranger. He waspletely


    oblivious to her dedication to the pack.


    To him, she was just there at the time of convenience while he waited for his mate.


    “You have to understand that I have tried. It’s been six months, but I still don’t feel anything for you.


    Our contract ends today. I haven’t mated with you, and I haven’t marked you. I hope that you find


    your fated mate one day.”


    He barely looked at her when he spoke. He never put in the effort to make it work and yet imed


    he tried. Sheridan’s heart stopped; her eyes turned teary. She had been in love with Alpha Nick all


    her life, but he had no idea.


    Six months ago, he was getting married to his mate, Charlotte. Having schooled in the human world


    with She, she requested a wedding, which Alpha Nick agreed to but she disappeared on the day


    of the event.


    She, who was seeking vengeance on Charlotte because of how thetter hadced her drink with


    scorpion venom, took advantage and proposed to marry him to save him from the shame.


    Alpha Nick was very cold-hearted, and the strongest in North America. Having invited all the Alphas


    from across America, he could not allow himself to be ridiculed.


    He gave it six months, using the opportunity to search for his mate, Charlotte, until he found her.


    Fortunately, his six-month contract with She had also ended.


    “Can it be dyed for three days?” She pleaded. “Could you pretend we are in love and go with


    me to the g awards?”


    She didn’t care that she sounded desperate but was certain that the g awards would change


    everything.


    Once in three years, all packs in America had this function to celebrate extraordinary pack


    members.


    This time, the event was going to be held in a grand hotel since none of the packs had the facility to


    host it.


    Alpha Nick’s expression darkened, finding her requestical. As a man who neverughed much,


    it was interesting to see him smile, except that it wasn’t genuine.


    “You are so ridiculous, She. What will you do at the g awards? You don’t have anything to


    contribute there. Besides, I’m going with Charlotte.”


    Disdainced his final words as he glowered at the in white dress she wore. There was nothing


    appealing about her.


    She’s heart stopped. She only heard rumors, but it was confirmed that her former best friend


    sh now archenemy was back, and the words slipped from her mouth.


    “Charlotte? My best friend?”


    Alpha Nick was unfazed by her reaction. He believed that someone must have kidnapped Charlotte


    and never stopped searching for her.


    It happened to be the case by the investigation report he received, which showed that Charlotte had


    been through a lot, including losing some part of her memory.


    Alpha Nick had to be there for her to help her regain her memory and the love they once shared. He


    regretted not mating and marking her as soon as he found out they were mates.


    The mark would have brought them together sooner. “I don’t know about that, but she’s the one I’m


    going with. To make it easy on you, I want you to sign the divorce papers. ce your demand. I will


    give you anything including half of my pack topensate you for the six months we’ve been


    together.”


    “No!” She suddenly yelled, and Alpha Nick’s brows raised despicably. This woman was calm and


    never raised her voice before but was suddenly yelling.


    The sight only made her look crazy. “Alpha Nick, please don’t do this. I can go to the g awards


    alone, and you can be with Charlotte. I promise not to bother you.”


    She was a crying mess, believing that if given more time, things could work out between them.


    Besides, Charlotte had wanted to kill her. If not for the waiter who knocked the drink from her hand


    and showed her a video of what Charlotte had done, She would have been dead by now.


    Charlotte loved Alpha Nick’s best friend, Beta Thomas Addy, from the Lotus pack who eloped with


    her during the wedding.


    “She, I want to marry Charlotte. How is that possible if I’m still legally married to you? She is my


    fated mate.”


    She’s fragile heart broke into pieces and she cried so much, one of the omegas brought her some


    handkerchiefs.


    It was embarrassing, but she couldn’t care less. She was just happy that Alpha Nick’s mom had


    gone on her long walk with his father and sister. His father and sister never liked She but his


    mother doted on her a lot.


    She was the reason why She was able to endure so much in the pack. The man before her


    remained expressionless, nothing tickling in his heart for her. He cared more about the mate bond


    than whatever She was feeling for him.


    “So, this is it?” She facepalmed, wiping a tear and feeling like a loser. Charlotte had the man she


    loved but still came back to her mate.


    What possibly could be going on with her? Perhaps, the mate bond was too strong and She was


    just being punished for not respecting it.


    How could she know how it feels when she never found her fated mate at 23? He was either dead


    or she never had one.


    She wanted to investigate the matter, but this man never felt anything for her, making it all an


    unworthy battle to fight.


    The pain in her heart was just too much to bear.


    “No. You will have half of everything I own including the pack. That is your reward for being a good


    Luna, but it’s rather unfortunate that things didn’t work out between us. I already signed my part of


    the divorce agreement. Add yours, and it’s legal.”


    Alpha Nick was hasty, though anxious. More tears brimmed in the back of She’s eyes. Alpha Nick


    has always been on the move. They never had time to work on this marriage.


    She believed that if he gave her three days in pretense of being in love, he would develop feelings


    for her.


    “Alpha Nick, please, just three days.”
