Chapter 2


    Chapter 2 – You are still here?


    Alpha Nick lost his patience. “I’m sorry, I don’t have the luxury of time like you do, sitting at home


    with omegas attending to you all day. We shall formalize the divorce in three weeks.”


    She wiped her tears with one of the handkerchiefs, her eyes red from crying so much. It was


    useless to make Alpha Nick understand her level of importance to the Dark Moon Pack.


    Her only concern was his mother. She had a very weak wolf and a heart condition. Due to that, she


    was never involved in the affairs of the pack, and Alpha Nick’s father, Tedmond, devoted a lot of


    time to take her around the world.


    He feared she might die anytime soon, treating her to all the beautiful sites in the world. For this


    reason, Alpha Nick assumed pack responsibilities by the age of 14. When he got his wolf at the age


    of 15, he was already the acting Alpha.


    Turning 18, he was coronated in his father’s stead, and that was when the pack saw less of his


    father and mother. He was there for his sister always, creating an unbreakable bond between them.


    “What about your mother? Have you informed her?” She asked. Alpha Nick stiffened. His mother


    was the only one among his family who loved She. The rest liked Charlotte and helped him to find


    her.


    Though knowing that the news would hit his mother hard and might even affect her health, he


    couldn’t lose his mate for the second time. “It’s my life, not my mother’s.”


    Alpha Nick’s unfeeling words rippled through her heart, draining all her hope. “Please, let’s talk


    about this,” She rose up to meet him, but his phone rang.


    As soon as he saw the caller ID, his lips thinned a little, and his slender finger slid on the screen of


    the phone.


    “Charlotte, what is the problem?”


    Care, that She had never seen before, shone in Alpha Nick’s eyes, and the softness of his voice,


    which she had never heard before, sounded in her ears. Not even his mother enjoyed that side of


    Alpha Nick.


    It was as if she was looking at a different person altogether. Then it made sense that Alpha Nick


    might be cold and aloof but also sweet to whom he pleased.


    She was never deserving of his sweetness. “But I just left there a while ago. Yes, I served her the


    divorce papers. Don’t worry. I’ming back. Just be calm.”


    Deducing from Alpha Nick’s words, She could tell it was pertaining to Charlotte’s fear of thunder.


    It must be raining wherever Charlotte was, and it was very romantic of Alpha Nick to go andfort


    her in the bad weather.

    “Alpha Ni…” Before She could finish pronouncing the name, Alpha Nick had already walked out


    of the door without a second look at her.


    She sunk into the sofa like a lost soul. The omegas cleaned because Alpha Nick was a clean


    freak.


    Because the warrior had walked in and out of the Alpha’s room, they were cleaning all over again.


    They mopped and dusted, She thought to excuse them. As she walked out of the pack house, her


    legs quickened, and she dashed into the woods, ready to let out her wolf.


    ‘You are so pitiful to be crying over a man. Let’s leave already,’ her wolf, Sra nagged, refusing to


    take control, in spite of She’s nudging.


    Since the Alpha didn’t want them, the pack was an eyesore to her, she refused toe out.


    She was running very fast. It was as if she expected the physical activity to heal the pain in her


    heart.


    Still, she could not bring herself to hate Alpha Nick or say any hurtful things about him. ‘Don’t me


    him. It’s the mate bond. I’m the viin here for trying to make him fall for me.’


    Sra was even more upset that she was defending the jerk. ‘But Charlotte is not innocent. She


    tried to kill you thrice. Did you forget that?’


    She was panting from her run. Her sassy wolf has refused to take over, forcing her to burn her


    energy, as she didn’t intend to stop anytime soon.


    ‘That is because I caught her severally with different men. She’s just afraid that I’ll reveal her


    secret.’


    ‘But she doesn’t love Alpha Nick. She eloped on her wedding day with another man.’ Sra refused


    to ept that She was guilty. To her, Alpha Nick was mated to an evil woman who only deserved


    his rejection.


    She decided to not speak about that matter anymore. ‘Juste out. I’m getting tired,’ She


    pleaded but Sra refused.


    ‘I hate this pack. Let’s leave or you can run all you want by yourself.’


    She knew that Sna would do as she had said. After a little thought, she changed her direction


    back to the pack house, bumping into something hard.


    “Luna, are you okay?” A male voice asked, trying to stabilize her.


    She sneered in her heart, tired of the fake love. Panting, she responded, “Beta Dustin, I’m fine.


    I’m just tired,” she said and copsed into the chair.


    Beta Dustin was the one who spearheaded the search for Charlotte and should be well aware of


    everything.


    It was hypocritical of him to pretend not to know. “Let me help you to your room, Luna.” He cast a


    nce at the divorce agreement still lying on the center table. Something flickered in his eyes.


    “No, I’m fine here,” She refused his fake kindness, pretending to be asleep. She heard more


    footsteps enter the living room and still pretended to be asleep.


    “She must be too tired to be sleeping here. Please get her to her room.” Athena, Alpha Nick’s


    mother ordered beta Dustin.


    She rushed to She’s side, her palm on her forehead as she checked her temperature. She loved


    She like her daughter and was greatly disturbed.


    Her actions annoyed not only Tedmond, Alpha Nick’s father but also Bree, Alpha Nick’s sister, and


    beta Dustin.


    “With all due respect ma’am, I can’t touch her. The Alpha would not be happy that I carried the Luna


    to her room. She should walk by herself.”


    He said it as if he was being cautious but in actual fact, he didn’t want She to be given any


    special treatment, especially when her days in the packhouse were numbered.


    Athena never epted the role of a Luna because of her weak health and was addressed by the


    pack members as ‘ma’am.’


    Not reading any negative meaning into beta Dustin’s words, she still felt that She should be made


    comfortable. “It won’t be good to disturb her sleep. Get me a duvet from my room.”


    The beta obeyed anding back, Athena snatched the duvet from his hand. Covering She, she


    kissed her on the forehead. “Sleep well, my child.”


    Turning around, Beta Dustin intentionally covered the view of the table where the divorce papers


    sat. Athena, already tired from the long walk said,


    “I will get to sleep now. I’m tired but no one should disturb the Luna. It will be better for everyone to


    have supper in their rooms.”


    Tedmond and Bree’s expressions darkened but when beta Justin drew their attention to the divorce


    papers, their mood brightened greatly.


    She never slept. Her heart was heavy, thinking about how Athena was going to take the news


    about her divorce. The more she thought about it, the more her sadness until the next day when the


    entrance door opened again. Alpha Nick walked in, but this time, he was not alone.


    “You are still here?”


    His gaze was dark as he red at the unsigned document on the center table where he left itst


    night, right beside his briefcase.


    She regretted not putting herself in order. Her face was already puffy from herck of sleep, and


    she had bags under her eyes. Her hair was slightly messy, in contrast to the well-dressed and


    sophisticated woman standing confidently beside Alpha Nick.


    When their eyes met, the woman became ufortable.
