Chapter 80


    “Alpha Nick, you are making me feel like a mistress,” Sheridanined in honesty, unable to contain the mixed feelings swimming through her


    would have emptied the te.


    The dessert was equally mouthwatering, but who knew that Alpha Nick


    would order some fine wine as well? Sheridan could not believe that she was only enjoying his kindness after the divorce.


    If he had not threatened toe and see the Alpha King, she would not have agreed toe, as she began to feel things she never wanted to feel for a


    Alpha Nick’s gaze dulled, not liking that term on her lips. He had brought her to a coded resort to rx, and it was about a three–


    hour drive from her pack: This was something he never did for any woman, not even Charlotte, though he


    had nned it for their honeymoon when she chose a human wedding.


    The thought of it caused intense pain in his heart. It was


    obvious that Sheridan loved the ce, but her words disturbed him greatly. “Why do you think so?” He asked seriously as they took in the mountain view


    open space.


    It was so serene with the stars in the sky as Alpha Nick rented the whole ce for just the two of them.


    “You have your mate at home, but you are out here with me. It reminds me of when you left me at home and went looking


    for Charlotte. When you found her, you hardly returned home anymore.”


    Pain shed in Sheridan’s eyes as she spoke, reminding her of when she craved his attention so much but only got his absence


    and indifference. Why did life have to be so unfair? She just wanted to move on, and yet, he was back to mess up her life again.


    “I’m so sorry, but the only reason why I’m keeping her at this moment is because of you,” he revealed. Sheridan was slightly taken aback. Then she star


    “If you’de with me right now, I would reject her right in front of you.”


    This is what Sheridan wanted when they were married, but after everything that happened, how could she fight the mate bond? “We are not mates, and


    Alpha Nick must have dressed to kill and looked so breathtaking, but she had gotten

    past that and was no longer swayed by attractive looks. Even her heart sang a different song as she could not trust it being with Alpha Nick.


    “Are you serious right now?” Alpha Nick was not epting her advice. He quickly poured a ss of wine for her. “Drink some wine first. I specially…”


    “No, I can’t drink wine,” Sheridan quickly refused, unconsciously holding


    her belly. Alpha Nick’s gaze was on her face, and he didn’t read any meaning into her action.


    “Why?” He asked seriously. She didn’tin about the food


    or dessert, so why was she refusing his wine? Did she think he was going to take advantage of her? Sheridan raked her mind for the perfect excuse an


    “I decided to stop taking in alcohol after that night.”


    Alpha Nick understood


    her point but still felt like she didn’t trust him enough. “But it’s just the two of us. It’s not drugged. I specially ordered it and would like you to taste it.”


    Sheridan did


    not know how to argue her way out of the situation without revealing the truth about her pregnancy. This unborn child was the only hope she


    had to forge ahead.


    “You were telling me about Charlotte before.” She quickly changed the topic of discussion.


    Alpha Nick sighed frustratedly,bing his hair with his fingers but still maintaining an elegant look. “I would prefer that we don’t mention


    her, but since you brought her up again, I will bepletely honest with you. My reason for not


    rejecting her is the fact that it would be too easy on her.”


    She was a bit lost, not hiding it as Alpha Nick continued to exin it to her. “She would have gone back to her normal life with Tom after destroying min


    Sheridan was even more confused. She knew that Charlotte never loved Alpha Nick. It was


    the reason why she was bold enough to propose to him, but what she did not expect was Charlotte’s unexpected return, and


    she’d be lying if she said she was not interested in knowing why it so happened.


    Alpha Nick continued to speak without being asked. “It would have been fine if she had told me from


    the first time we discovered the bond that she was in love with somebody else. I wouldn’t have taken offense, and we would have just rejected


    each other, but what did she do?”

    Chapter BO


    Sheridan saw a darkness in his eyes that was so scary. It was obvious that Alpha Nick was not going to let the matter rest.


    His voice was heavy with anger as he rattled on. As a man who was not used to speaking so much, he was releasing so much information within the


    “She faked her disappearance, getting me worked up and losing my mind. I didn’t sleep well night and day, thinking about if she was still alive, if she ha


    when in fact, she was fucking my best friend.”


    Alpha Nick’s eyes welled up, but he didn’t allow his tears to fall. Charlotte didn’t deserve it. Right now, his anger was directed at himself for how he negle


    woman.


    “For six months, she took my soul with her, making me a horrible husband to you. I know I am to me


    for a greater part, but for wasting my time anding


    back to steal my money before returning to wherever she was before, I can’t take it kindly. I’ve never been so kind.”


    She knew it was true. Alpha Nick was only kind to his family and pack. It was not the same for other packs and Alphas, but she was more interested in


    “What do you mean she came back to steal your money?”


    Alpha Nick gulped down the ss of wine he poured for Sheridan earlier. Holding her gaze, he exined the details to her.


    “I heard them talking on the night of the g awards in the garden. Tom had sent her toe and steal some money from me. She would have


    faked another kidnapping and disappeared again if she seeded. Tell me, what did I do to deserve this?”


    His voice was teary, and Sheridan felt guilty. Alpha Nick was betrayed by his mate and seeking sce


    in her arms, but what if he found out she was equally hiding something so great from him?


    “Nick, we all aren’t perfect,” she said seriously, but Alpha Nick shook his


    head. Sheridan was the light in his dark world. With her, he could let the past go and start a new life with her. Holding her two hands securely in his and
