Earlier, She was in her room with Goldie when one of her managers arrived. “Ma’am, you look
stunning. Even better than at the g awards.”
She didn’t feel ttered as the diamond dress she designed was more dazzling than the red one
she
wore at the g awards. This was her way of moving on from her painful past to embrace a brighter
future.
“Well, it’s my aim to look better than I did yesterday and the day before,” She beamed. Goldie
was
happy that she found her smile again as she seemed bitten after that unfortunate night with Alpha
Nick.
The manager was happy with her words but had a slightly guilty look. “I should learn from you, but
ma’am, Alpha Nick called the day after the g awards. He said he had your diamond earring.’
Both She and Goldie exchanged nces as She asked curiously, “What did you tell him?” She
thought she had lost that earring, but hearing about it gave her a whole new level of adrenaline. Her
designs were unique and never to be repeated.
“He wanted your number to personally give it to you, but I couldn’t give him your number without
your permission. Your phone was also switched off,” she pointed out. She recalled it was true.
She had
been so upset with Alpha Ansaldo that she switched off her phone when he kept calling back to
apologize.
She just couldn’t allow somebody like that close to her ever again. Imagine if it wasn’t Alpha Nick
she ended up in bed with, then what would have happened to her, especially if the man were the
one to
wake up first?
“So what did you tell him?” She asked, giving her full attention to the manager. She spoke
truthfully,
“That he might find you here at the Alpha King’s daughter’s birthday party.”
“Is he here?” She asked, eager to get hold of her earring but wondered if Alpha Nick indeed
brought it. He was capable of using tricks to tell her toe take it at the pack. If he dared raise
such an
outrageous condition, she was sure to kick his as s.
“Yes, I saw him earlier, and he was eagerly looking around. I believe he was looking for you,” the
manager confirmed. She was happy, except that,
“Was he alone?” She didn’t want to see Charlotte at her birthday party and would not mind
sacrificing her precious earring to avoid Alpha Nick because of her.
“Yes. I saw him talking to a few people, but there was no woman with him,” the manager confirmed
once again, her cheeks blushing from when she saw Alpha Nick in person. He was better looking
than the rumors said. How could a man be so good looking?
She’s pretty face had a slight frown to it. “Why are you blushing?” Her manager had a shy smile
on her face as she avoided She’s gaze before adding, “Don’t worry. If the earring he has is indeed
mine, I would retrieve it.”
The manager nodded her head, eager
“Go ahead.” She did n catch more glimpses of Alpha Nick. “It’s getting interesting
there. I will take my leave now”
stop her.
Alpha Nick, all she felt for her
all she felt for her was pity.
The saw through the manager that she was crushing on
Alpha Nick only loved his mate, and nobody else stood the same chance.
“I wonder why he came without the bi tch,” Goldie fumed, still upset by what she saw with her mate.
She was least disturbed. When she saw Charlotte at the g awards, she was still unmarked,
which could only mean that Alpha Nick had not mated with her yet. Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.
For whatever was taking him so long, she did not know and could not bring herself to care. But then
the realization struck her like lightning. Alpha Nick had not slept with his mate but did it with her.
It could only be under the influence of drugs. “I guess he is looking for the woman he slept with.
Alpha Nick is quite disciplined and would want to take responsibility,” She said bitterly. Only if
something like this had happened between them when she was still his Luna, it would have drawn
them closer, but they were already divorced.
Goldie could not allow herself to agree. “Then why didn’t he take responsibility for you?”
She let out a sad smile. “He owed me nothing. I was the one who offered to marry him, and don’t
forget he offered me fifty percent of everything, which I rejected.”
“So do you still love him?” Goldie asked, afraid of the way She defended the as shole. She
shook her head. She loved Alpha Nick for too long but already let him go the moment she signed
those papers.
“No. Everything I ever felt for him is dead.”
“What about…” her voice was interrupted by that of the MC.
“With a standing ovation and a round of apuse, let’s wee our one and only Sheridon
Warner.”
“That is Kyle. Let’s get this over with,” She said seriously. She was only going to kowtow to
everything that would happen tonight to please her father and nothing else.
Goldie walked with She but avoided the spotlight and joined the crowd. She stood on the stage,
not liking the stares as Kyle announced,
“If you must know, our dear Sheridan has still not found her mate.” The single men were already
salivating, wishing for her to be paired with them.
Alpha Nick was spellbound, his eyes refused to blink for thirty seconds. ‘So, She hid her identity
as the Alpha King’s daughter to marry me?’ He still could not believe it even when she stood tall on
the stage as the MC continued to speak.
“If you are also unmated like her, just say hi, and you know how the mate bond works. If she isn’t
your mate, please walk away and give another person the chance. Unless you are her mate, your
time spent with her is limited to thirty seconds. And after that, we shall have the cake cutting,” the
MC, Kyle announced.
These were the Alpha King’s instructions, as he did not want anyone to take advantage of his
beloved daughter.
She hugged her parents first before the MC began to direct men towards her. Alpha Nick was
boiling, gulping down sses upon sses of hard liquor. There was nothing he could do, as this
was arranged by She’s parents.
Alpha Ansaldo was not allowed to attend because of what he did thest time, and Alpha Nick had
no
choice but to wait until the mating process was over with. Not having rejected Charlotte, he didn’t
stand
the chance of having She as a second chance mate.
Slowly, joy filled his heart as one Alpha to the other was being sent away as soon as the thirty
seconds
were up. They only had the chance to exchange a few words with She.
Two hourster, She’s parents were saddened as the MC announced, “We are very sad to
announce to
you that our dear Sheridan could still not find her mate.”
Everyone seemed to sympathize with her except Alpha Nick, who rather looked satisfied with the
oue. She should be his and his alone.
“Please don’t let it disturb you. Enjoy the party.” The MC forced a smile before saying, “We shall
invite our Alpha king and his queen, the beta, the seven brothers, and favorite cousin of our dear
Sheridan to help her cut the cake.”
Alpha Nick could not contain his shock, looking at the kind of love She had grown up in before
throwing it all away to be with him. The thought of it made him feel so stu pid to have waited for
Charlotte when she was building her life with another man.
“Oh Sherry, why couldn’t you find your mate?” Her fathermented, hugging her tenderly after the
cake cutting. She was speechless.
“Dad, please, can you let it go now? You would have enough grandchildren from my brothers, so
please don’t worry,” she consoled the middle-aged man before trying to find a way to flee. Being
with her father would only remind her of the very things he kept saying. He might even forcefully
make her choose any ready man.
“Okay, just be happy and enjoy the party,” her father gave up.
She nodded, just as her gaze met with that of Alpha Nick. Without blinking, he began to walk
towards her with mixed emotions. She’s legs felt like jelly; she run away because of what
happened
Vanted to between them but equally needed that earring.
HELP!
“I have something that belongs to you. Let’s talk in private.” Alpha Nick sounded h oa rse, as if he
hadn’t slept for years. His emotions weighed heavily on his heart, settling in his tone.
She swallowed tightly. If she wanted the earring, then she just had to listen to whatever he had to
say. “I know a ce.”
