《The Alpha鈥檚 Obsession with his Ex-Contract Luna》 Chapter 1 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. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. 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.¡± Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Chapter 2 ¨C 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. N?velDrama.Org (C) content. ¡°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. Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Chapter 3 ¨C I don¡¯t want you anywhere close to Nick Alpha Nick exined to Charlotte that he had found a recement bride on the day she was kidnapped in order to save the pack from shame. However, little did she expect her recement bride to be none other than She, her former best friend turned enemy. Charlotte and She were once very close until She began to outshine her. She seemed to excel at everything she did, as if she had a lucky charm. Charlotte, on the other hand, was the exact opposite. Back in New York where they went to school, Charlotte was only good at one thing ¨C attracting all sorts of men. She didn¡¯t have the strength or decency to refuse their advances. She had caught her in the act many times. When She came top of her ss, it was thest straw for Charlotte, and she couldn¡¯t take it anymore. She tried every means to eliminate She, but all her attempts failed. Now, after six months of being away, she was back to meet the same woman she had failed to kill, who was now her mate¡¯s contract Luna. ¡°You told me she had left. What is she still doing here?¡± Charlotte was annoyed by She¡¯s presence, pretending not to know her, because she was afraid that her secret would be revealed. She, on the contrary, had no intention of revealing the truth. Even if she did, no one would believe her. Rising to her feet with a teary gaze, she lost the zeal to speak, epting her loss. Picking up the pen, she crossed out the alimony portion before appending her signature to the divorce paper. ¡°I would like us to settle everything before tomorrow,¡± she ced her demand with renewed vigor. Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org. Her appearance wasn¡¯t attractive, but her sudden boldness and refusal to allow her tears to fall caused something strange to hit Alpha Nick for the first time. It was as if he didn¡¯t know the woman he married, as she had changed into somebody else. ¡°I said three weeks. It would take that long to change the names of the cars and houses, as well as the ounts into your name.¡± After saying that, he just realized that he didn¡¯t even know her maiden name but could not be bothered. She didn¡¯t look like one who would want to return his surname anyways. She smiled dryly and looked him in the eyes. The usual affection and tenderness it used to carry was gone. ¡°I don¡¯t want any of those. Let¡¯s get this done with.¡± Alpha Nick¡¯s gaze was a blend ofplicated emotions. It was as if the woman he left in his house last night was different from the one he came to meet this morning. ¡°How will you survive? If not for the money, then why did you sign the contract?¡± He did not want other packs to use him of treating his Luna badly after divorce. She¡¯s harsh gaze settled on Charlotte, but thetter quickly grabbed Alpha Nick¡¯s arm like a spoiled brat. ¡°Nick, justplete the process. If she wants to be proud to live like a pauper after divorce, why should that concern you?¡± Charlotte never wanted She to have half of Alpha Nick¡¯s wealth, so this was even better for her. Alpha Nick did not like She¡¯s tricks, feeling like she was trying to manipte his emotions to make him feel guilty for wasting six months of her life. ¡°Since you want nothing, you can go beg on the street when you return to whichever pack you came from. But I¡¯m still kind enough to give you three days to think about it.¡± As expected, every nce he spared hercked warmth, unlike Charlotte who had all his softness, care,passion, and love. She was already exhausted. Her eyes were equally heavy due tock of sleep, and all her emotions were forcefully buried inside. ¡°I already decided. I want nothing. Let¡¯s get it over with.¡± Going back to her father¡¯s pack, she didn¡¯t want any ties with Alpha Nick, as everything about him was now an eyesore to her. Alpha Nick¡¯s brows raised mockingly to hear such wordsing from the mouth of the woman who was begging himst night to not divorce. ¡°I will be back,¡± Alpha Nick said and hastened up the stairs. Charlotte instantly dropped her mask of niceness and spoke in a harsh tone to She but kept her voice low. ¡°Aren¡¯t you pathetic? So after all your achievements, you couldn¡¯t keep your ws from my mate. You are so pitiful. Even as an orphan, you refused his generosity for what? So he would take you to be a good Luna? Bullshit.¡± Charlotte had already seen the guilt in Alpha Nick¡¯s eyes, fearing that it might be a link to draw him back to She. Not wanting She to receive a dime and also not wanting Alpha Nick to feel guilty about it, she had no idea on how to sever the ties. ¡°Why did youe back, Charlotte? Weren¡¯t you in love with Beta Tom? Where is he? I guess you killed him with your poisonous deceit, just as you want to do to Alpha Nick.¡± She hoped that Charlotte would go back to Thomas, but things were different than she perceived. ¡°It¡¯s not your business, but since I¡¯m back, I don¡¯t want you anywhere close to Nick. Do you understand that?¡± She smiled bitterly, pushing strands of hair behind her ears. Upon closer look, even without makeup, Charlotte could not refuse that She was a stunning woman, but as to why Alpha Nick was never tempted, it was all thanks to his respect for the mate bond. Back then in New York, every guy wanted She when she came top of her ss. Unfortunately, most of them were humans and she never found her mate among them. Also, she never felt any form of attraction for any of them the way she did for Alpha Nick. ¡°You already won. So why are you afraid? Don¡¯t worry. I forgive you for all your failed attempts on my life but if you dare try it again, I will fight you boot to boot.¡± She¡¯s gaze pierced through Charlotte¡¯s eyes; she quickly looked away, afraid that She would see through her. After all, the woman was very smart. ¡°You must never tell him about Tom, do you understand?¡± Charlotte¡¯s voice trembled and she fidgeted slightly at the mention of Tom. She¡¯s eyes squinted, suspecting that something has gone wrong. Nevertheless, she knew one thing about being promiscuous. The price was a bitter pill, including death. She hissed, ¡°You know what? You are the pathetic one. You, Nick, and Thomas, I hope you all rot in hell.¡± Since she signed the divorce papers, she no longer cared. Charlotte felt in her heart that she still hadn¡¯t won for as long as She refused to ept the alimony but wanted it reduced. How could she take half of everything Alpha Nick worked for? Half of Alpha Nick¡¯s pack worth billions for that matter. If She took half of it, then Charlotte would have to share the remaining half with Alpha Nick which, though a lot, was still not enough for the greedy woman. ¡°You are just jealous that my mate loves and waited for me. You are nothing.¡± For all she knew, She was just an orphan with great talents. Sheughed. Not even Charlotte knew about her family back in college, as she never used her real name, Sheridan Warner, the only daughter of the Alpha King with seven ruthless brothers. ¡°I feel pity for you, Charlotte. Very soon, the mask will peel from your face, Alpha Nick will see you for who you truly are.¡± As they heard footsteps approaching, Charlotte pped herself hard on the face, sat on the floor, and began screaming. When the understanding of what she was doing dawned on She, she paled instantly. Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Chapter 4 ¨C She¡¯s Apology The shriek had woken the members of the pack house, but Tedmond managed to get Athena back to sleep, which was easy because the shriek did not sound like She. It could only be equated to one of the omegas. Only Bree had descended the stairs, stopping right in the middle. ¡°What¡¯s going on here?¡± Alpha Nick growled from upstairs, hastening to help Charlotte from the floor. Thetter wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, shivering in his arms as she was lifted from the floor like a baby. The scene was painful to She¡¯s eyes. Thinking that Alpha Nickcked emotions, it was obvious that it was just towards her. The softness and care in his gaze as he looked at Charlotte caused She to realize that all the years she spent loving this man were useless. He would never feel for her even an ounce of what she felt for him. ¡°Nick, the bitch pped me and she said you could rot in hell,¡± Charlotte cried pitifully, and She¡¯s jaws dropped. Even after all that Charlotte did, she never hated thetter. They were once best friends, and she was grateful to have been given the opportunity to be with the man she loved, though it was just a waste of time. After knowing that Charlotte still meant bad for her, She drew the lines of hatred in her heart. ¡°Why did you p her?¡± Alpha Nick¡¯s tone produced ice, and the temperature in the living room dropped, but She had had enough. She didn¡¯t want to be a part of what wasing. Biting down her anger, she sneered, ¡°So what if I pped her? She deserved it anyway.¡± Bree was shocked since she never saw She talk back to the Alpha before. Did she not value her life? How could she dare to p the Alpha¡¯s mate? Charlotte was equally shocked but happy that She agreed. If she left a bad impression of She on Alpha Nick¡¯s mind, she was certain that thetter would never think about her as good, even if she refused the alimony. ¡°I demand that you apologize to her,¡± Alpha Nickmanded, disappointed that She could do a thing like that. Like a nket over the sun, he was even more surprised that she admitted it. Charlotte was excited when She walked up to her with rage-filled eyes. The bitch was so easy to manipte. No wonder she couldn¡¯t capture Alpha Nick¡¯s heart. Thinking that She was going to apologize to her, the pain on her cheek apanied by the sound of a p brought everyone in the living room, including the few omegas, to a standstill. She¡¯s head was proudly raised as Charlotte¡¯s cheeks turned bloody red from pping herself and being pped at the same spot by She. Alpha Nick wanted to burst from anger and was about to order the warriors to deal with She when she shrugged. Her eyes shimmered, and her voice wasical. It was as if she had been transformed into a different person. ¡°Oops, I¡¯m sorry for pping you. I didn¡¯t before, but I have now.¡± Part of Charlotte¡¯s reddened face turned white, and she was speechless. Before Alpha Nick could utter a word, She spun around. Reaching the door, she announced, ¡°See you in court tomorrow at 11 a.m. Let¡¯s get this over with.¡± Her slim silhouette disappeared from the entrance, as the warriors looked up to their Alpha. They saw everything that transpired and were already hating Charlotte. It seemed that their smart Alpha was fooled by his mate. ¡°Alpha, should I go after her? Madam took nothing. She might not even have transport money,¡± one of the warriors asked. He didn¡¯t want to directly expose the Alpha¡¯s mate, knowing how futile that could be. *** As She walked out of the grand mansion, she dialed Goldie¡¯s number. ¡°Goldie, if you aren¡¯t far, pleasee and get me.¡± She was shocked at how fast Goldie arrived. Was it two minutes? ¡°What happened?¡± She held out her copy of the divorce papers to her as she was about to walk around to sit in the passenger seat. ¡°It¡¯s over. Charlotte is back, and he is attending the g awards with her.¡± Bitternessced She¡¯s voice, and she almost shed a tear. The g night was the first time she would have made a public appearance with Alpha Nick. She had a lot nned, hoping that Alpha Nick would begin to see her differently after that, but not anymore. Goldie was so pissed, she moved to the passenger side before She got there, her fingers moving her sunsses from her face to the top of her head. ¡°The two-faced bitch. You should drive, or I will cause an ident on the road.¡± She was speechless. Goldie could indeed do so, as her anger could burn the sea. When She sat in the driver¡¯s seat of the Ferrari, Goldie was suddenly annoyed after thinking about everything, saying, ¡°Please, let me kick his ass before we go. He and the bitch.¡± She already pressed the convertible button, about to jump over the door when She quickly stepped on the reverse pad and began to turn the car around. As the only daughter of the beta of their pack, Goldie was very tough but still, she would be no match for Alpha Nick. ¡°Let them be, Goldie. I brought this upon myself. Hopefully, the divorce will be finalized tomorrow.¡± ¡°Six good months lost, Sherry, that is like billions lost,¡± Goldieined. With She¡¯s capabilities, her time was very precious, every minute worth hundreds of thousands of dors. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Alpha Nick never had time for me, so I still worked a lot from home. I have some new designs for us to showcase at the g awards. I also worked on some new model cars and did some hacking jobs alongside. I was only useless to him but not to myself and the pack,¡± She shrugged. Goldie was pleased to hear that her best friend hadn¡¯tpletely lost herself. ¡°I¡¯m very d you still made millions while being his Luna. Anyway, let¡¯s take care of you first.¡± ¡°Marriage has eaten you badly, and you look terrible. You don¡¯t deserve this. Your dad will be so happy to see you again, but with this appearance, he would think you had been held hostage somewhere,¡± Goldie nagged. She was a hot model, a s*xy clothing designer, a wild racer, and a fierce hacker. In all these, She¡¯s appearance was always superb until she got married six months ago. ¡°Goldie, I need a favor,¡± She changed the topic and requested. Her appearance would be fixed with a good sleep and just a little dedication. ¡°Anything, as long as you don¡¯t intend to go back and beg the jerk,¡± Goldie yawned. ¡°Haven¡¯t you slept?¡± Worry settled in She¡¯s tone. ¡°Is Papa okay? How about Mom? And that reminds me, I haven¡¯t seen any of your warriors around.¡± Being the daughter of their beta, Goldie, just like She was never allowed to go out without heavy security. She was just realizing that something was off. ¡°I haven¡¯t been home in a week. I¡¯ve been lodging at a hotel close by when I heard about Charlotte¡¯s return. I just felt that you might need me.¡± She left out the part where she had seen Alpha Nick around town with the bitch. She was just worried about one thing. ¡°How were you able to move around without Papa¡¯s warriors around you?¡± Her papa was the Alpha King and she loved to just call him that. A mischievous grin stretched Goldie¡¯s lips. ¡°I justced their drinks with sedatives to make them sleep well.¡± ¡°You what?¡± She was nervous, beads of sweat covered her face. ¡°You said that you needed a favor.

It was indeed Alpha Nick¡¯s Rolls Royce behind them. ¡°F**k!¡± she hissed. ¡°He is signaling you to stop.

She might not even have transport money,¡± one of the warriors asked. He didn¡¯t want to directly expose the Alpha¡¯s mate, knowing how futile that could be. He remembered that before the wedding, Charlotte was in control of everything and Alpha Nick would go by whatever suggestion she made. Her wish was always hismand and he would always choose the side of his mate no matter what. Alpha Nick thought about the question and could not help worrying a little. She has spent six months in the pack, never causing trouble. She never even tried to seduce him the few times he got drunk thinking about Charlotte, showing that she was a decent and respectable woman. As a duty, he couldn¡¯t let She go empty-handed. ¡°Never mind. I will do it.¡± Charlotte froze in his arms. Alpha Nick, being very sensitive, sensed her fears and gazed softly at her. ¡°Please don¡¯t worry. The divorce is notplete so I still need to y my duty.¡± He dropped her gently on her feet. Charlotte tried to not show her disapproval but Bree could not hide her fury. ¡°You could let the warriors go. No need to do it yourself.¡± She was burning from rage from the way She suddenly changed a while ago. Also, she was making the Alpha too guilty to a fault. Knowing that her family, except her mother, never liked She, Alpha Nick spoke calmly but firmly in Bree¡¯s suggestion. response to ¡°Bree, don¡¯t you have training?

Alpha Nick might not have feelings for She but he always wanted the right thing to be done. ¡°She is still the Luna and nothing about this should be made known to the pack until the divorce is finalized.¡± His voice turned hard, Bree had no right to refute, suddenly running to her room. Her brother might always be there for her but it didn¡¯t mean that he had too big of a heart for nonsense. Beta Dustin, in contrast to the warriors who had stayed at She¡¯s side and watched her train the weak pack members, did not wish for his Alpha to go after a nobody. She had said she was an orphan but never mentioned the name of herte parents. It was easy to piece together that she was ashamed to mention their names because they might have no ranks from the pack she hailed from. Thinking through it again, she never even mentioned the name of her pack. Beta Dustin imagined in to be the smallest pack. That could be the only reason why she refused to talk about it. ¡°Alpha, since your mate is here. Let me go find Luna.¡± ¡°What will you do when you find her? You weren¡¯t privy to the negotiations,¡± Alpha Nick sneered, adding, ¡°Take care of training.

Everyone in the pack knew about this but never thought it would cascade down to his mate. ¡°Eventually but not now.¡± His tone was soft and Charlotte was quite disappointed. Seven months ago, he was the one who invited her to the pack. He was eager to show her everywhere but being afraid of intimacy, she refused to go close to the pack house. Now she lost the opportunity of sharing his room. With a forced smile, she ced another demand. ¡°Then I want the Luna chamber. You two are going to be officially divorced by tomorrow.¡± She wanted to wipe every memory of She from the packhouse but Alpha Nick was more reasonable, not giving in to sentiments. ¡°Yes, but she has to move her things out first. I don¡¯t think you can wait until all that is done.¡± He was referring where she was going to sleep today since his room was out of the equation. The forced smile lingered on Charlotte¡¯s face, as the understanding settled that things were now moreplicated than before. to The only thing she could do now was follow Alpha Nick around, to indirectly announce her presence to the pack and everyone who cared to listen. ¡°Okay, but let mee with you.¡± She was already at the door when Alpha Nick caught up to her.

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.

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.

Not having rejected Charlotte, he didn¡¯t stand the chance of having She as a second chance mate.

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¡¯s eyes were teary as she felt strangely hot. She thought she had gotten over him, but it didn¡¯t seem so. Ashamed and feeling upset with herself, s his gaze was dark. ¡°How is it that you have the same scent as the sheets in the hotel room?¡± She gasped. She forgot that Alpha wolves were very sensitive to smell. No wonder he buried his neck in the crook of her neck. He was sniffing her scent. If she had known, she wouldn¡¯t have used her 2/4 favorite cologne for the party, but how could she have known that he would attend? +5 There was no way out with the lies, so she came straight. ¡°I was drugged, and so were you. Everything that happened was an ident. Can I have the earring now?¡± She asked, eager to leave. Alpha Nick¡¯s heart warmed. So, it was She he had se*x with. That was a great relief. Since they were married before, they could make things right, and this time, he was sure to treat her better as she deserved. Still, he couldn¡¯t help but wonder. ¡°Who drugged us?¡± Sheridan did not want a war between two packs because of her. Knowing Alpha Nick, he wouldn¡¯t let it go. ¡°It had nothing to do with you. I was the target, but you were just the victim.¡± ¡°Tell me, is it Charlotte?¡± Alpha Nick asked, suddenly lining Charlotte with all his misfortunes. She was surprised as he never believed anything negative about Charlotte before, so what was going on? She knew that Charlotte was involved with Alpha Nick¡¯s best friend, but she was certain that Alpha Nick did not know about it. ¡°Why are you thinking so badly about your mate suddenly? No. It wasn¡¯t her, but I took care of it,¡± Sheridan said honestly, not wanting to create problems for him. They were divorced, and he had a mate waiting for him. ¡°And you wiped the cameras. You had no right,¡± Alpha Nick said sternly, thinking about all the sleep he lost thinking about the mysterious woman. Sheridan had no regrets for doing what she did. If not for her earring, Alpha Nick would not have found a clue, but how could she have found it when he had slept on it? Luck did not seem to be on her side. ¡°I did what I had to do. Are you not afraid that your mate would find out?¡± She asked with a cold re. Alpha Nick wanted to tell her his findings about Charlotte, but then Sheridan might think it was the reason why he came. ¡°Aside from Sherry¡¯s couture and hacking, what else are you good at?¡± Alpha Nick asked curiously. Sheridan shrugged, a small smile lining her face. She saw that he asked with good intentions and responded, ¡°Well, you just have to search it out.¡± Alpha Nick smiled back and held her two hands in his. ¡°She, the pack needs you. Ma¡¯am needs you, and I also need you. Let¡¯s get married for real.¡± Chapter 74 Chapter 74 0023% 11:34 +5 # Sheridan withdrew her hand as if his hold burned her. Her expression was stern. She had lived with him under the same roof for six months, yet she had never even entered his room. Not once did he even pretend to like her, and now he wanted to go back to being what? His wife? ¡°I think you are drunk. You should go home,¡± Sheridan said, finding everything so ridiculous. The thing about her was, the moment the divorce was finalized, she knew there was no turning back. She turned to leave, but Alpha Nick was quick to grab her by the arm, his lips smashing onto hers. When she saw the video of what happened, she thought it was because they had both been drugged, as Alpha Nick had never shown her affection before. Sheridan¡¯s eyes widened with shock as she tried to break free, but Alpha Nick only deepened the kiss, his tongue forcefully exploring her mouth, his arms tightly wrapped around her waist and not willing to let go. Not until a strong p jolted him back to reality. His cheeks burned from the hot p Sheridan had just given him as she wiped her lips with the back of h¨¦r hand, feeling embarrassed and ashamed. ¡°Look at me very well. I am not Charlotte.¡± Her voice was teary as so many emotions blended together. The fact that she had been caught up in a one¨Csided love for so long. ¡°I would not have you disrespect me in my own pack.¡± Alpha Nick was offended by her remark, as his thoughts were far from what she was thinking. He sounded sincere. ¡°I¡¯m not disrespecting you, She. I love you, but I was just blinded by the bond.¡± Sheridan knew that no one could fight the bond, but Charlotte? Everyone could see how maniptive she was except Alpha Nick. ¡°Blinded? She rejected you, she?¡± Sheridan asked, feeling that didn¡¯t nothing would make Alpha Nick turn his back on Charlotte unless she indeed rejected him. Alpha Nick¡¯s gaze darkened as he recalled the state in which he saw Charlotte and Tom at the g awards night. ¡°No. But I know everything going on between her and Tom,¡± Alpha Nick revealed, unable to hide it anymore. ¡°You knew it too but hid it from me,¡± he used her. Sheridan let out a bitter smile, feeling like the recement bride she was. Alpha Nick would onlye 1/4 mergency calls only OMS to her when he had a problem. 0023% 11:34 +5 ¡°So that is why you came. You are using me to while away time until you find your second chance mate.¡± Pain rested on Alpha Nick¡¯s face from her words. How could she even think like that? ¡°No. If you give me another chance, it would be only you,¡± he said sincerely, his gaze unwavering. Sheridan had already put everything behind her, not intending to make a U¨Cturn. Her only focus at the moment was her pack and her business, nothing more. ¡°We are already divorced, and I don¡¯t go back to my vomit.¡± Alpha Nick felt she was right. It was too soon to remarry her. But before then, he just needed the opportunity to prove to her how much he needed her. ¡°You don¡¯t need to marry me, but I see the fire of vengeance in your eyes. Come back to the pack and let¡¯s get revenge on the people who destroyed us.¡± Sheridan shook her head as she took a step back, recalling the promise she made to her father. ¡°I destroyed myself when I decided to pursue you despite knowing I wasn¡¯t your mate. I was infatuated with you when you saved me back then in the woods.¡± Alpha Nick recalled years ago when he saved an injured girl in the woods. ¡°It was you? Sherry?¡± The name had never even rang a bell throughout his hearing it at the g awards. Strangely, he never saw her again. Now he felt guiltier. Sheridan never took advantage of him like he thought. She was just madly in love and didn¡¯t know how to show it. ¡°Yes. I stalked you for years, and just when I almost gave up, I saw you stranded on your wedding day when I was trying to escape from some assassins.¡± She left out the part about Charlotte sending them find your second chance mate.¡± She felt a shing pain in her heart at her own words, but it was for the best.

She couldn¡¯t throw the other one away, which would always remind her of where the other was. Alpha Nick wanted her to think about him every time she thought about her precious earring. ¡°You are a respecter of the mate bond. Forgive Charlotte and move on with your life. I already moved on, and there is no turning back. I¡¯m sorry, Nick, but you can keep the earring. It¡¯s over between us,¡± Sheridan said solemnly. She didn¡¯t try to wiggle out of his arms, but her cold re was enough warning. Unfortunately, it was not enough to scare a man like Alpha Nick. ¡°She, I would never give up on you. I would keeping to this pack every day until you give me a suitable answer.¡± Sheridan was afraid of that resolve, as her father was not aware that she had been married before. As such, she tried to discourage him. ¡°Be careful, or you might be in trouble with my brothers.¡± Alpha Nick was not afraid of her brothers. If he had to fight an army to get to her, he was ready to do so. ¡°She, what can I do to win you back?¡± He pulled away to have a better look at her face. Even with her expression cold, she was still a stunner. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. ¡°It¡¯s toote for that. I loved you too much and made too many sacrifices. I can¡¯t do it anymore.¡± She was ruthless with her words, but Alpha Nick felt he deserved it as he used to be worse towards her. ¡°But you haven¡¯t found your mate. What if I be your mate?¡± He asked with hope. For as long as She remained unmated, he stood a great chance. * Sheridan had learned from experience, having no intention of fighting the mate bond anymore. ¡°If it so ¡®happens that way, then we can have this talk again, but as for now, it¡¯s over between us,¡± she said solemnly. Alpha Nick found hope. He wanted to torture Charlotte and Tom for a while before rejecting her. Who knows, She might just be his second chance mate, as he felt that she was still in love with him. ¡°Alright, give me your number, or I woulde here every day to see you,¡± he said seriously. Sheridan smiled a little, happy for them to part on a friendly note. 3/4 Emergency calls only M 0023% 11:35 +5 ¡°I will call you. I promise,¡± she smiled and said. Alpha Nick drew closer and kissed her on the forehead. She didn¡¯t resist this time, and his heart warmed a little. ¡°I believe you.¡± Sheridan did not want to get used to the love he was showering on her. ¡°Goodbye, Alpha Nick. Please don¡¯te here again.¡± Her words were ruthless, but there was a genuine smile on her face. Alpha Nick did not agree, but neither did he refuse. It was enough that they were not at loggerheads. He left the Moon Shine Pack in tears, unknown to Sheridan, not having returned her earring. The loss was so hard on him. It was as if his soul left his body. The only emotion he felt was regret. Reaching the pack house, it waste, but there was a storm. As he entered the pack house, he heard screams. It was Charlotte. Her fears of thunder must have kicked in, and unfortunately, there was a power cut. Beta Dustin met him halfway. ¡°Alpha, we have a problem.¡± Chapter 76 Chapter 76 Alpha Nick was equally lost in thought. She was now beyond their reach, but he also knew that she had a weakness. It might be a selfish move, but Alpha Nick was determined to capitalize on it. ¡°I¡¯m trying, but it¡¯s not easy. I won¡¯t give up anyway.¡± ¡°But what if she disappears again?¡± Beta Dustin asked worriedly. He hadn¡¯t had the chance to apologize to She and was greatly E worried about it, but Alpha Nick¡¯s response awakened his hope. ¡°I already left my bodyguards there to be watching and reporting her movements to me. I lost her before, and I won¡¯t make the mistake of losing her again. I have to know where she is at every point in time. That is until I manage to get her back to this pack. I would find a day to meet with the Alpha King concerning her,¡± Alpha Nick revealed seriously when another scream was heard from Charlotte¡¯s room. Bree frowned, regretting defying her brother and moving Charlotte to a better room. Beta Dustin was grossly annoyed, unable to keep it in and screamed, ¡°Can you shut that girl up? She¡¯s been screaming since the storm began. Is she some kind of a kid?¡± ¡°I know exactly what to do,¡± Alpha Nick said with an evil smile. She suffered his indifference and harsh words under this same roof because of the stupid bitch, so why should he allow her to disturb the peace of the family? ¡°What would you do?¡± Beta Dustin asked curiously. Alpha Nick did not answer. Going to the fridge, he picked a bottle of ice¨C cold water. ¡°I hope it isn¡¯t what I¡¯m thinking.¡± Alpha Nick¡¯s lips curled up into a smirk. ¡°She deserves every torture. Where is Tom?¡±. ¡°In the opposite room. He has been off ever since hearing the news about his company. The pack members beat him and Charlotte up too,¡± Beta Dustin revealed. Alpha Nick smiled. ¡°He hasn¡¯t seen anything yet. Until She marries me again, I would not reject Charlotte. Neither would I let them go. They have to suffer for all they made me put She through, and oh, her real name is Sheridan Warner. She was also the woman I told you about.¡± 1/4 +5 He didn¡¯t want Bree to understand that part as it was only between men. Beta Dustin understood, and his heart warmed. If both Alpha Nick and She gave their first time to each other, then that was an eternal bond. Hope grew in his heart for the pair being to Alpha Nick opened the door to the guest room where Charlotte slept. She was squatting in a corner of the room, and through the candle light, she saw Alpha Nick¡¯s figure, running to him. Before she wrapped her arms around him, ice¨C cold water came sshing down on her, and she was shivering and screaming. Alpha Nick spoke calmly. ¡°You are disturbing the pack house. Unless you want me to throw you out of it.¡± Remembering her he saw Tom¡¯s fingers on her body during the g night, his nose scrunched up in disgust. ¡°I think you need a shower. You stink.¡± Charlotte had no idea what exactly he meant by that, as she already had her shower before the power cut. The tenderness she used to see in his eyes was gone, reced with coldness. ¡°Nick, what happened?¡± Alpha Nick was not going to tell her. Just as he was kept in the dark about her evil deeds, she was going to be kept in the dark about his revenge n. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you? You are disgracing me and this pack. Have you been training well?¡± He referred her back to the only thing he could use against her. Charlotte was devastated. She had wanted to beg him to continue the project of her parents¡® house, but his countenance was too scary for her to ask. ¡°The pack members hate me. They won¡¯t train with me. Will you teach me?¡± She asked with a pitiful expression. Alpha Nick¡¯s lips curled upwards Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. as he got the opportunity to beat her up himself. ¡°Of course. We shall train together.¡± This time, Charlotte didn¡¯t miss the darkness in his eyes, it crippled her hopes. ¡°No. Please let me train with Tom.¡± A scornful smile curled up his lips as he responded, ¡°I will think about it.¡± He wasn¡¯t done with Tom as well, so both he and Charlotte were going to make a good match for his revenge n. The next day, Alpha Nick woke up to the sound of his phone ringing. Seeing the caller ID, his heart did a 2/4 melodious dance. +5 ¡°She, you called.¡± She sounded indifferent at the end of the line. ¡°A promise is a promise. You have my number now. Get your men away from my house or I¡¯ll blow you.¡± Alpha Nick smiled. She was even smarter than he thought. ¡°Okay. But you have to promise to not just disappear from my life again.¡±. ¡°There is nothing between us. I can do whatever I want,¡± She responded promptly from the end of the line. Alpha Nick was helpless. ¡°Don¡¯t you miss Angie and Athena? The pack members ask of you every day. Why not pay them a visit? Just for a few days,¡± Alpha Nick pushed his luck once more. At the end of the line, She was having a hard time. She missed all those people he mentioned, but after all that happened between her and Alpha Nick, she didn¡¯t have the courage to return, lest she fell for his charms again. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I already severed ties with the Dark Moon pack.¡± The call ended immediately, and Alpha Nick¡¯s hopes crashed. A few weekster, Sheridan was making some new arrangements for the Moon Shine pack members concerning their living conditions. She excitedly presented her proposal to her father, who was als boss. ¡°Dad, I was thinking about everyone increasing their workload, but I will also increase their sries by *fifty percent.¡± Her father mused over the suggestion. Sheridan had introduced some new projects, so the pack members had to work harder. ¡°If they agree to increase their workload, then the fifty percent is indeed Sheridan smiled in satisfaction. ¡°Alright. I will go talk to them.¡± She suddenly covered her mouth and ran to the washroom in the office. Her mother stared at the entrance of the washroom, then her attention directed to Goldie as she asked in a whisper, 3/4 ¡°Has Sheridan been with a man?¡± THE 4/4 Chapter 77 Chapter 77 Chapter 77 ¡°Has Sheridan been with a man?¡± Goldie froze at the question. She did not want to expose Sheridan but thought about what warranted the question in the first ce and asked instead, ¡°What is wrong with her?¡± ¡°I will call a doctor,¡± Sheridan¡¯s mother said suspiciously and instantly mindlinked the doctor. With the pack hospital not far from the office, the doctor arrived before Sheridan came out of the washroom. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± She asked, shocked to see an extra person in their meeting. A doctor, for that matter, Goldie was equally nervous. If she had stood up and gone to Sheridan when she went to throw up, it would have made it obvious that Sheridan¡¯s condition was serious. ¡°You went to throw up. The doctor is here to check on you,¡± Sheridan¡¯s mother said worriedly. With tight lips, Sheridan frowned slightly at the response, remembering what happened between her and Alpha Nick. Could she? Sheridan felt hot, her cars and face reddened. ¡°Mom, I¡¯m fine.¡± She wanted to do a pregnancy test secretly before seeing a doctor. Should it be positive, everyone was going to know, and she had to decide whether or not she wanted to break the news like this. ¡°Let the doctor ascertain that,¡± her mother insisted, but knowing her resistance was only creating more suspicions, she relented. ¡°Fine. Must I follow him to the hospital?¡± Sheridan asked wearily, already not feeling good about herself. The nausea was very annoying. Having lived a healthy life all her life, it was strange that her taste buds even felt like sawdust. ¡°No. I can take your blood sample and run a few tests,¡± the doctor smiled. All he knew was that Sheridan was throwing up, so the best thing would be to run a series of tests as it could contribute to so many other things. Sheridan did not refuse. They continued the meeting, but she had lost touch with herself. When the meeting was over, she excused herself with Goldie, as her parents waited in her office for the doctor. 1/4 ex Dreame He divorced his infertile wife.

Will you go back to him?¡± Goldie asked worriedly, afraid of being alone again, especially when she had rejected her mate. Sheridan must have vowed not to return to Alpha Nick, but Goldie felt that things would be different because of his seed in her womb. ¡°You know me. I don¡¯t go back on my words. Not when we both signed the divorce papers. I will just raise the child as mine alone and not worry about finding a mate anymore.¡± Goldie was relieved, but then, The Alpha King and his Luna queen were prominent figures who would not allow Sheridan to give birth without being with a mate. ¡°What about your mom and dad?¡± She asked worriedly. Sheridan felt ufortable in her stomach. How she wished to have not returned. Things would have been easier, but since she made a promise to her father, there was no going back on it. ¡°I can¡¯t stand the disappointment in their faces.¡± Her tone was bitter, but there was nothing like regret. This child was innocent, and she wasn¡¯t going to be sad about him or her. ¡°So, are you nning to run away again?¡± Goldie asked in a low tone since that was what Sheridan loved to do most. Running away from her problems. However, the now resilient Sheridan was ready to face her problems all by herself. ¡°I¡¯m too old for that. I would just open up to them if it so turns out that I¡¯m pregnant.¡± Goldie smiled. She wished she had a child to call her own too. That way, she would never be worried about not having a mate. ¡°How does it feel?¡± She asked curiously. No matter the situation, having a baby growing was a joyful and miraculous experience. Sheridan had a faraway look in her eyes as she thought about the father of her unborn child. Once upon a time, she left everything for him, but now that she had the power to be with him and have a taste of his kindness, she couldn¡¯t feel the connection anymore. ¡°I loved him for the greater part of my life. The moon goddess is fair to me. This is payment for all the love I showed him. If I am carrying his child, then he would never know.¡± Yes, this child was the payment for all her sacrifices at the Dark Moon Pack. She never took anything from them, and yet, she got a treasure in return. 10:52 TLO, 2 pl Chapter 77 ¡°Sherry¡± her mother called from inside, disrupting their secret talk. Sheridan took a deep breath and went back to the office with Goldie. ¡°The doctor is here.¡± Her mother turned to the doctor and said, ¡°Go ahead, tell us the result.¡± The doctor coughed slightly to clear his throat. He suddenly had a nervous look all over him, but no one could put a finger on why he looked that way. ¡°Alpha King, Luna, can I have a short word with the Pack¡¯s princess?¡± He asked politely. This was the ruling family in the pack, and he could not bear to make any mistakes with his diagnosis. Unfortunately for him, the Alpha King had gotten suspicious of her daughter and the doctor¡¯s strange behaviors. ¡°Just say it here. Is there a problem?¡± He asked, the doctor spoke nervously. ¡°I¡¯m unsure of the result because the pack¡¯s princess has not found her mate,¡± he hinted. Sheridan was already feeling excited at the revtion. If the doctor spoke about a mate, then it was exactly what she was expecting it to be. ¡°Am I pregnant?¡± Sheridan asked directly, knowing what he was driving at. Her unconsciously red at her before shifting their gazes to the doctor. parents ¡°Tell us what it is. She couldn¡¯t possibly be pregnant, right?¡± Her mother asked with a worried look. ¡°Yes, she¡¯s pregnant,¡± the doctor gave the test result to the Alpha King to look for himself. Her mother did not bother looking at the document, beginning to chastise her daughter. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Sherry, how is it possible? Did you find your mate? Why did you hide it from us?¡± Her mother bombarded her with countless questions. ¡°Excuse us, Doctor,¡± her father finally said, the doctor sighed, hastening to the door, but as he reached there, he heard a stern voice behind him. ¡°Nobody must know about it from you.¡± The doctor turned to meet the warning gaze of Sheridan¡¯s father, abruptly responding, ¡°Yes, Alpha King.¡± After the doctor left, She sank into the chair she sat on before, but Goldie stood by her side as she confessed everything to her parents. ¡°At the g awards, somebody drugged me and the man I slept with. I already punished the person, but I wasn¡¯t expecting this.¡± Her father was slightly happy but was worried about one thing. ¡°This man we are Chapter 78 Chapter 78 Sheridan had no idea of her father¡¯s reason for asking, but one thing was certain. She was an adult and could not be afraid of their judgment because of one mistake: trusting the wrong person. If she had gone to the g awards alone, this would not have happened. It was because she was bent on showing Alpha Nick that she had moved on or the longing to have a partner beside her. Well, it was a bitter lesson, but she still got a treasure in return, for which reason she could not bring herself to regret her decisions. Nodding her head to her father¡¯s question, her parents lost hope. ¡°I don¡¯t think that whoever drugged you has paid enough. Arnold must teach him a lesson,¡± the Alpha King dered, about to mindlink his first son, the acting Alpha when Goldie stopped him with a revtion. ¡°Uncle, the man she slept with is Alpha Nick. His mate is cheating on him with my mate. I rejected him, and he epted my rejection.¡± The revtion brought silence to the office, as everyone was lost in thought. The parents did not want She to be a single mother, so this revtion brought hope as the Alpha King asked seriously, ¡°Does Alpha Nick know about this?¡± ¡°No, but he hasn¡¯t marked her for reasons we don¡¯t know,¡± Goldie answered, when Sheridan countered, ¡°He knows.¡± Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°He does?¡± Goldie asked, shocked. It was understandable that Sheridan¡¯s schedules, just like hers, had been busy, but they still had time for small girl talks. Why was she kept in the dark? Sherid ¡°He told me at the wee party and was begging me toe back to him. When I left, I secretly married him for six months. But it was a contract for m when his mate eloped with another man. When the six months ended, we parted ways when his mate showed up, faking that she was kidnapped.¡± She summarized everything, hoping that no one would ask any more questions, but there were still some loose ends to the story that needed tying. 1/3 Dreame It¡¯s obvious he knows his mate is cheating on him. What more reason could he not mark and announce her to the pack?¡± The Alpha King analyzed for that matter, he felt that Sheridan stood a better chance with Alpha Nick. They were married by contract, and Sheridan never got pregnant, meaning they never consummated their fake marriage until after the divorce, Sadly, S ¡°I don¡¯t want to go back to him. I made it clear when we signed the divorce papers. This child is now mine alone.¡± Her father disagreed. Alpha Nick was one of the strongest and most powerful Alphas. He would not neglect his child even if it was identally conceived ¡°If it¡¯s his child, then you can¡¯t hide it from him. He would know as soon as the pregnancy begins to show. Sherry, why don¡¯t you let us punish him, and then you go back to him. He needs to Knowing his daughter, he felt strongly that Alpha Nick must have done something to make her not want to go back to him. But with him having a cheating Nevertheless, her confession rendered him powerless. ¡°I don¡¯t love him anymore, and what if I find my mate? I told him to forgive his mate and move on ¡°Did he agree?¡± Her mother asked this time, notfortable with where the conversation was headed this time. you When Sheridan decided to let everything out, she did not relent, doing as she wanted. ¡°He said he wasn¡¯t going to give up on me, but I¡¯m not going back born, I would give it a few months and return to continue my duties to the pack. He won¡¯t know it¡¯s his.¡± Alpha Nick had his chance and blew it. With Sheridan, there was nothing like a second chance. If he had treated her with even the slightest care within those six months, she would hav All they share are sour and bitter memories. Sheridan wanted to be happy. Now that she was pregnant with the child of the man she poured her love be ¡°Sherry, this is too much. We have to think seriously about it. I just wish you hadn¡¯t 2/3 10.92 fallen out of love with him,¡± her father said bitterly. Since Sheridan had not found her mate among the long list of men at her wee party, he hoped for her to have a stable home with the father of her child. ¡°I¡¯m sorry for disappointing you,¡± Sheridan said, seeing the dismayed look in her parents¡® eyes. Her father waved dismissively. ¡°Why should you be sorry? None of your mated elder brothers have given me a grandchild yet, you are unmated and pre to wee my first grandchild.¡± At the dark moon park, Alpha Nick has never been the same. Everything around him reminded him of She. After kicking out Charlotte from his room, having it redecorate The diamond earring, he kept was used as decoration in the room. Every day, he would see her belongings and weep for the pain he caused her throug Before stepping out of the Luna¡¯s chamber, he would wash his face as if nothing happened, but his countenance remained cold. When he couldn¡¯t endur ¡°She, can we meet?¡± Chapter 79 Chapter 79 ¡°She, can we meet?¡± She was slightly nervous at the other end of the line. She was afraid of betraying herself if she saw Alpha Nick again. The man who used to be cold and aloof was suddenly giving h attention, which was scary. ¡°What for?¡± she asked in annoyance. Alpha Nick felt relieved that she did not outright refuse and hang up on him. He owed her so much, and she happ He might be selfish, but he wasn¡¯t giving up on her. ¡°Please, I just want to talk.¡± ¡°Nick¡­¡± Sheridan was about to refuse, but Alpha Nick cut in, ¡°Please She.

You leave me no choice,¡± he said with determination. Alpha Nick was ready to shoulder all the me if he met with She¡¯s father. Sheridan was certain that her father would just punish Alpha Nick a little before pushing her into his arms. ¡°What is the location?¡± she asked, and Alpha Nick was a little relieved. Her eptance to meet him did not mean she epted him back, but it was still ¡°I will pick you up at 5 pm,¡± he said softly. Sheridan almost rolled her eyes. It felt strange that he spoke to her in this tone. ¡°No. Let me meet you halfway,¡± she responded, not wanting him near the pack to raise suspicion. Alpha Nick refused, determined to meet her parents to exin everything to them. He wanted She back and would do anything for her to return to him. ¡°I am the one asking for the date, so please get ready. I¡¯ming over.¡± The call ended soon after, with Sheridan releasing a frustrated sigh. As soon as she lowered her hand holding the phone to her ear, she heard a deep voice behind her. ¡°I hope you are not going back to that loser?¡± Arnold asked seriously.

Sheridan knew he was right, but Alpha N ¡°I will be careful. It would take hours for him to get here anyway,¡± she said calmly, internally nervous about meeting Alpha Nick again. Gone were the days when she stayed at home, waiting for the slightest sign of him. Now, his presence to her was unwanted. ¡°Great. I just made you breakfast,¡± Dara said. Being the third of the seven brothers, he was also the best cook among them, but his mate, Chaya, was ev ¡°Did you make it, or did Chaya?¡± Sheridan teased him when he brought food to her on a tter. Sheridan tasted the food and closed her eyes. It was delicious. ¡°She¡¯s my mate, so either way, we did it together. But hey, if our baby turns out to be a boy, you should name him after me,¡± Dara said seriously. Sherida ¡°That won¡¯t happen. I¡¯m the Alpha. My having an heir is more urgent than all of you.¡± Sheridan was not liking this. Her thought about keeping her baby from Alpha Nick did not mean she wanted to give him or her up to either of her brothers Her words caused Chaya, who was pouring a fruit drink for Sheridan, to blush.

A frown lined the corner of their faces before Jace asked, ¡°Are you sure it would work?¡± ¡°I¡¯m most certain,¡± Sheridan said reassuringly. A few hourster, Alpha Nick arrived, but She was already waiting for him in front of the pack gate. She wore a luxury jumper and three¨C inch heels with light makeup. Her hair was let loose, giving her an elegant look. Before Alpha Nick got down to open the door for her, she hurried to the passenger side, opened it, and sat. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Alpha Nick sighed, not willing to leave without speaking to her father. ¡°I have to say a word or two to your father. Why are you in a hurry, and why were y Sheridan, not wanting to give any hints, quickly asked, ¡°Where are you taking me?¡± She managed to take Alpha Nick¡¯s attention off his worries from before as he responded, ¡°That is a surprise.¡± 3/4 This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Sheridan frowned, afraid of being alone with him but not able to say it directly. ¡°I¡¯m not spending more than two hours with you.¡± Alpha Nick shook his head. He nned to spend a lot of time with her, and two hours were just not enough. But since she lived with her parents, it was u stay outte. ¡°Then let me see your dad. The surprise would take the whole night,¡± he said honestly. Not wanting him to see her father, she reluctantly agreed. ¡°Let¡¯s just go.¡± Alpha Nick¡¯s lips curled up, determination screaming in his heart as he replied warmly, ¡°Okay, but when we return, I¡¯m seeing your dad.¡± Sheridan stiffened instantly.

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¨C 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 1/4 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?¡± 211 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.

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.

The man before her was so different, but she still could not get In those days, he would not evene close or touch her, but now he was kissing her without any intention of stopping. It was too much for her, and sometimes she felt like the substitute bride she was to him. Alpha Nick would have never been interested in her if he had not seen what Charlotte did. ¡°You are the one who asked for the divorce, remember? You can¡¯t eat your cake and have it back, Alpha Nick. You reap what you sow.¡± Sheridan could not take it anymore. It hurt badly that when she tried to put everything behind her, all she remembered was the pain he caused her. Alpha Nick was slightly upset being addressed by his title. He knew that she was drawing boundaries if she used it. ¡°Stop calling me Alpha. I am not your Alpha.¡± There was a slight irritation in his tone, but Sheridan refrained from trying Perhaps she had been too lenient. It wasn¡¯t the same when she stayed by his side like an obedient wife. ¡°And you are equally not my man,¡± she stated casually. Alpha Nick was hurt but still could not be upset with her. If he had not found out about Charlotte¡¯s betrayal, he would have never understood what She went through. Still, there was a spark in her eyes even when she refused him. ¡°I know that love me. I can see it in your eyes.¡± you still The certainty in her voice annoyed her greatly as she realized that no matter how hard she tried, she could not hate it. ¡°Then you aren¡¯t seeing well.

When she decided to leave, she felt in her heart that he would regret it, but she never thought it would be so soon, ¡°I warned you, I do It was true that Alpha Nick¡¯s good intentions were always showcased differently every time he spoke. ¡°Please give me just one more chance.

All she asked for was a few days¡® extension and for Alpha Nick to be her partner at the g awards, but he mocked her instead, Ah, she was trying so hard to forget the bitter past, but the more he begged her, the greater she felt the pain multiply. ¡°I¡¯ve loved you for so long that it hurts.

She was a woman deserving of all his time and efforts, but Sheridan was thinking otherwise. ¡°You will be wasting your time.¡± Alpha Nick saw how hard it was for her to hold his gaze when she spoke, meaning she still felt something for him. ¡°If you really don¡¯t feel anything for me, then grant me my wish, and I will never bother you again,¡± he stated, watching her keenly. ¡°Is it a goodbye sex?¡± Sheridan asked, thinking about a way out of the situation since she did not want to get intimate with him again. That would only cause an unwanted entanglement. Alpha Nick, on the other hand, was determined, saying, ¡°I don¡¯t care what you call it, but we are both very free. We aren¡¯t attached to anyone and you are the one refusing to marry me for real this time.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± She wanted to remind him that there was still a bond between him and Charlotte when he cut in. ¡°There¡¯s nothing between me and Charlotte,¡± his lips swallowed hers instantly, not giving her the chance to resist him.

However, he also could not shed his responsibility of l It was not easy dealing with a woman who had everything but Alpha Nick was not intimidated. ¡°No. I¡¯m taking you home first.¡± Sheridan was touched that even as his pack was under attack, he still put her first. She contemted if she should stop her ns and just go back to him or tell him about the baby. It was so hard dealing with Alpha Nick when he was like this. This man has changed a great deal but she was still scared for her poor heart. ¡°This ce is safe and it¡¯ste. I will sleep and have someone pick me up,¡± she finally said. Alpha Nick was saddened. Still, he had just begun his c 2/4 Chapter Ad now, whereas Sheridan had loved him for years, enduring the pain of not being loved by him. There was no way topare the sacrifices made from both sides and he could not be offended, saying hastily, ¡°I will make it up to you¡± When he reached the door, Sheridan felt an emptiness in her heart, her eyes teared up as she screamed his name. ¡°Nick¡± Alpha Nick paused, hoping that she changed her mind and wasing with him. Turning around, he was drowned in a passionate kiss, which was also Alpha Nick felt something odd and would have stayed to seek some answers but his pack was under attack and he could not leave everything to Dustin. She finally pulled away and quickly wiped her tears. ¡°All the best. Get those rogues.¡± Alpha Nick nodded his head, a thin smile on his lips but why did he feel like she was saying goodbye to him? It only urred to him after he sat in the car and sped towards the highwa It was toote to also go back to ask, as he began to wonder how she knew that his pack was under rogue attack. The phone was not on speaker. He was tempted to call her butcked the rity of mind. Reaching the pack, the rogue attack was real and dust rose in the air from the violence of the fights. Alpha Nick shifted without taking off his luxury clothes, not minding how they tore ¡ú into pieces. Dustin had done a good job so far with the warriors and most of the rogues had fallen. With Alpha Nick¡¯s presence, it was not long before the rogues surrendered. It was as if they were expecting him toe or had something important to tell him. Rogues did not have a pack of their own so someone must have se With the surviving rogues thrown in the dungeon and the leader tied, Alpha Nick¡¯s ws clongated, about to tear through his throat and chest when the rogue leader bega The revtion was both shocking and unbelievable to both Alpha Nick and Beta 17:15 Fri, 12 Apr Dustin, who were doing the interrogation.

She would never do a thing like that,¡± Alpha Nick retorted, his gaze growing dark as he was ready to tear the rogue leader into pieces for creating such a lie. Somebody must have paid him to incriminate She. She was Alpha Nick¡¯s shining light and would never harbor such ill intentions. The rogue leader was spee He already knew that he wouldn¡¯t stand a chance attacking the Dark Moon Pack but the person had promised him that as soon as her name was mentioned, Alpha Nick would let him go. He was also paid handsomely so why re he never saw before? All theirmunications were on phone as a man whose rtionship with Sheridan he did not know, brought the deal to his doorstep. ¡°I don¡¯t know why but you can call her. She sent us,¡± the rogue leader said with determination. Nobody, being interrogated after a failed attack would be so bold right? There mu what he was saying. Alpha Nick¡¯s heart sank. He didn¡¯t believe it but Sheridan was just a phone call away. He quickly dialed her number but it was switched off. Th Sheridan like how she was ready to do his bidding. He thought she had let the past go when she responded to his kisses and almost slept with him in her right sense but who knew it was all a trick? The way she knew it was a rogue attack without him telling her? Her calmness and unwillingness to apany him and the fact that nobody from the Dark Moon pack died during the war were all too much of a coincidence. In spite of all these signs, Alpha Nick would not believe it until he heard it from Sheridan¡¯s lips. That was the thing about him. When he loved Charlotte, he would believe and port her at all times. It was the same with She. Now that he loved her, he was ready and willing to listen and understand her reason for doing something like this Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

It was just disappointing how he promised Bree that She would be back soon. Bree was so excited to finally get the opportunity to apologize, that she had not given a wink to her eyes, waiting to be the first to wee She. Due to the attack, she was tired and finally gave in to sleep but how would Dustin exin it when she woke up?

Are you still sure she isn¡¯t the one? I¡¯m not saying she¡¯s a bad person but I feel she has a good reason for all she¡¯s doing,¡± Beta Dustin exined. Nobody died so he still saw She as the kind hearted woman and fierce fighter who once lived in this pack with them. Alpha Nick was never the same. With She, he felt at peace but being away from her, all he felt was turmoil. ¡°Let¡¯s put the pack in order. When everything settles, I will go find her.¡± There was a lot of mess to clean up after the war so everybody was busy. Even Athena and Tedmond came to help put the pack in order. Charlotte and Tom were taken to the hospital this time, as they were injured through protecting the pack. It took three days for things to settle but the rogues were not set free. It was now understandable from the confession of the rogue leader, how pack members did.

This was all because of Alpha Nick. If he chose his mate, it was well understood, so why would he not stay with her? Alpha Nick was uneasy with the turnout of events. He expected to see She and not some blonde. He recalled he had seen her a few times with She, except he never spoke to her. ¡°What is going on here? Where is She? This is not She,¡± he felt scammed by the turnout of events. Goldie walked around and sat on the chair beside Alpha Nick. Swallowing tightly, she began to exin it to him. ¡°Alpha Nick, I don¡¯t know if you remember me, but I¡¯m Goldie, Sheridan¡¯s cousin. She left this for you.¡± Goldie gave him an envelope which he eagerly tore open. An earring fell, and he quickly picked it up. It was the other pair of the diamond earring. There was also a letter which read, ¡®Alpha Nick, I¡¯m sorry for the rogues. It was the only way to get you away. I forgive you for everything, but I realized that I had to do something for myself. All my life, I lived for my family. Then I lived for you, but now, I want to live for me. Please take care of the might just meet again under different circumstances. I wish you all the best. Sheridan Warner.¡® His fingers balled tightly around the note. It was unbelievable, though he recognized the handwriting to be hers. She was so nice to him, so how could sh His heart sank, and his gaze dulled. Was it due to the threats ofing to live in her pack if she refused to return to his? He meant it, though, but now, he was regretting it. If he had taken things a bit slower, he would not have scared her away. ¡°No. It can¡¯t be her. She can¡¯t leave me like this,¡± Alpha Nick was already in tears, and Arnold was moved. He never thought that Sheridan¡¯s departure would cause a mighty Alph ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Alpha Nick, I wanted me and my brothers to gang up and beat you 11:22 Mon, 15 Apr M G up, but she came up with this n,¡± Arnold confessed. Alpha Nick¡¯s eyes were red, as he felt no shame in shedding tears. His life was empty without She, and his pack members looked forward to her return. Being so hopeful that he was going to win her back, this came as a shock. Sheridan yed him so well, and yet, he still could not be upset with her or bring himself to hate her. ¡°I don¡¯t care if you kill me, but I¡¯m not leaving this pack until I see her,¡± he raged. He might be out of his mind or even mad. However, he was certain that woman for him, mate bond or no mate bond. Arnold was helpless in the situation as no one could reach Sheridan. It was impressive how Sheridan guessed that if she gave them her location, it woul ¡°You are wee to stay. I will have a room prepared for you, but the truth is, that Sheridan refused to let anyone in on her location. We are just as emb Alpha Nick lost hope, but suddenly, he recalled something. She had always promised to be in touch with Athena, and the two have been talking almos The only person he could get answers from at this moment was his mother, and that was where he had to be. This would not break him as he was ready tob the world until he found She and m Luna for real this time¡­ Chapter 85 Chapter 85 Alpha Nick returned to the pack in a sour mood, and Charlotte was the first to meet him. ¡°Nick, you¡¯re back. Their rtionship must have hit a rough patch, but Charlotte was still hopeful that things would soon turn around. Though Alpha Nick pretended that everything was fine until She returned, he lost control and barked, ¡°Just stay away from me.¡± He was eager to find out She¡¯s location from Athena, and Charlotte¡¯s presence irritated him greatly. Charlotte was stunned and moved to go after him, but Alpha Nick had already run upstairs. He knocked and opened the door to his mother¡¯s room, but s ¡°Ma¡¯am and the old Alpha went for a walk,¡± the maid said to him without being asked. Knowing the ces Athena loved to walk with the intention of enjoying the calm scenery, he removed his zer, threw it in his room before hastily descending the stairs and running in that direction. Charlotte did not know what to make of him. This was not what she had nned. Everything was going well, so why did Alpha Nick suddenly change towards her? Was it right for him to hold a grudge against her because she lied to him about Sherry¡¯s Couture? Looking around when the servants were not watching, she sneaked in earlier today from the hospital, and Tom was still sleeping. ¡°Tom, wake up. Alpha Nick hates me,¡± Charlotte nudged him awake with a pout. Alpha Nick was so patient with her before, but now, it seemed he saw her as an enemy anytime their eyes met. Tom woke up drowsily and pulled her into his warm embrace. ¡°Let¡¯s sleep together. He¡¯s not around.¡± His fingers caressed her thighs as he was about to pull down her panty. Charlotte quickly grabbed his arm to halt his movement despite her need for him. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. Staying for over a month without sex was more than she could take, but both she and Tom had been injured. This would have been a great time, but Alp ¡°He¡¯s back, but he told me to stay away from him,¡± Charlotteined bitterly. Tom¡¯s face was creased with a frown. ¡°Then you should do just that. Focus on training to impress him. My business is destroyed, and I have been banished from my pack. I am not in a positio At this point, Tom did not care if she had to bed Alpha Nick to get what she wanted. What mattered was for them to befortable. Also, if they were found out, then he would not even have a ce toy his head. ¡°You don¡¯t love me anymore,¡± Charlotteined. Tom was always all over her, but now, he felt sofortable pushing her away as if she was some kind of bad luck. This was not Tom was helpless as he sat up on the bed. He and Alpha Nick used to be close until he left for New York. Everything was going well until he visited the Dark Moon pack and drove himself to that g awards night. It was as if he was bathed in bad luck from that moment. ¡°No. I just feel it¡¯s all a punishment from the moon goddess for rejecting my mate. He remembered the pain he saw in the woman¡¯s eyes. Still, he could not forget her name. Goldie Warner. They had met at the most inappropriate time, and he did not remember feeling an atom of shame when she saw him with Charlotte. He quickly epted her rejection as icing on the cake. He did not know whether he would see her again, but the bond was broken the moment they disc Here lies the case; he could not im Charlotte as his, as Alpha Nick would not let her go. Nobody gave them anything responsible to do in the pack except training with them, where he was also constantly mocked. Neither Beta Dustin nor Alpha Nick would do anything about it. Charlotte pinned the me on him. Should he have stayed in New York, Alpha Nick woul With time, she would have transferred enough money to pay off Tom and have a peaceful rtionship with Alpha Nick. ¡°I told you to leave. You would not have met her, your mate, and everything would have been fine.¡± Tom regretted meeting his mate at a time like that and could not help feeling that she was the cause of all his troubles. After all, it was only after their rejection that things began to go downhill for him. ¡°It already happened.¡± An idea popped into his head, and he suddenly asked, ¡°Hey, have you been training your wolf? If you are not seeding with physical training, then why Charlotte¡¯s gaze darkened at the mention of her wolf, but she lowered her head to not make it known. If Tom knew what happened to her wolf, he would It was best for her to keep her wolf locked up, which was why she never shifted, despite being in a pack. ¡°No. Physical training is more needful, and I suck at it,¡± she quickly rejected the idea. Tom did not push further but wanted the quietness of his room to think. ¡°Since he¡¯s around, you better go. If I get banished from here, I don¡¯t even have money for a ne ticket to return to New York. Please don¡¯t put me into trouble. I won¡¯t be able to face the FBI even if I make it there by His life was so messed up right now, and he could only me himself. Charlotte was offended by his constant pushing her away. It was as if she was his she had to go. ¡°Tom, are you sacking me?¡± She asked, trying her best to not show her anger. Tom was perplexed, throwing his head backward in deep thought. ¡°Why would I do that? Are you not afraid that Alpha Nick would kill me if he sees you in my room?¡± Charlotte froze in fear, as she forgot about his return due to the conversation she was having with Tom. ¡°You have a point. Let¡¯s meet in the woods tonigh Sex was a powerful stress reliever, so if they could not do it in the pack house, then inside the woods was a great choice. ¡°The woods are fine. Just make sure that no one sees us headed in the same direction,¡± Tom cautioned seriously. Charlotte nodded her head in agreement. As soon as Charlotte stepped out of the room, she came face to face with Alpha Nick, Athena, and Tedmond. ¡°What were you doing there?¡± Alpha Nick a Chapter 86 Chapter 86 Earlier, Alpha Nick managed to catch up to his mother, but Athena was already tired, so they could not talk around the borders where she went for a walk. The view there was breathtaking due to the royal palms she had nted all along the border. It was very peaceful and serene when she strolled around there. ¡°Mom, we have to talk. It¡¯s about She,¡± Alpha Nick yelled from a distance, trotting towards Athena and Tedmond. There was no one around, as that ce was Athena¡¯s special area, so Alpha Nick did not have to take caution of whether or not somebody was listening to him. Tedmond was upset to hear She¡¯s name. ¡°Forget that woman,¡± he said in annoyance. Alpha Nick shook his head. It was all his fault that his father still felt bad about She. ¡°Dad, you won¡¯t understand. She stole something precious from me,¡± he said seriously, hugging his mother. His neatly tucked¨C in shirt was wet with sweat due to the vigorous activity of running all the way to meet up with his parents like he was mad, not caring what his pack members and warriors thought about him. ¡°I knew it. The low life¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you dare use that word on her, or you¡¯ll have to disown me,¡± Alpha Nick pulled away from his mother, cutting his father off daringly. Tedmond was unremorseful, firing again. ¡°You just called her a thief.¡± ¡°I meant she stole my heart,¡± Alpha Nick corrected him with an annoyed look. If he had not treated She the way he did before, his father would not have been talking about her this way, but Athena realized something. ¡°Nick, you are in love with her?¡± She looked joyful at the transformation of her son. Alpha Nick did not hide it anymore, feeling ashamed for doing so befo ¡°Yes, mom, and I need your help. Please forgive me for everything,¡± he said sincerely. No matter how Athena wanted to punish him before, his owning up ¡°Let¡¯s go to my room then.¡± Tedmond was not happy about this. Alpha Nick¡¯s mate was in the pack house, so how could he be in love with another woman? 1/4 ¡°Nick. You should have added that she equally stole your brain.¡± Alpha Nick turned to his father and spoke in a serious tone. It was time to make him realize who he was messing with. She was not the orphan they all thought, and his speaking about her like that could be carried by someN?velDrama.Org owns this text. ¡°Dad, she is the Alpha King¡¯s only daughter. The CEO of Shelly¡¯s Couture and mour. Do you to know more? She¡¯s a former car racer and a model.¡± Tedmond was seeing stars upon listening to his son¡¯s words. How could it be possible? She stayed in the pack house like a dummy. If she had such skills, then she would not have sold herself ¡°Hold on, which She are we talking about?¡± It probably could not be that ex¨Ccontract, Luna. Alpha Nick carried his father¡¯s guilt on his shoulders, unable to me him. ¡°The same one who lived in this pack like an orphan.¡± Athena was offended by Alpha Nick¡¯s choice of words. They must have all not been there for her, but she was. ¡°I was her mother here. She was never an orphan. Let¡¯s go.¡± Her interest in Alpha Nick escted from the way he stood up for She. This is what he should have done a long time ago and continued doing. ¡°I¡¯ming too,¡± Tedmond followed them, not believing that She was the Alpha King¡¯s daughter. Perhaps, she was trying to make them feel guilty by impersonating the Alpha King¡¯s prodigal daughter. When they reached the pack house and began to walk up the stairs, they were amazed when Tom¡¯s door opened, but instead of Tom, it was Charlotte who stepped out of it. ¡°What were you doing there?¡± Alpha Nick asked in a cold gaze. Charlotte was panic¨Cstricken, her mind went nk, but she quickly thought about something and began to use him to make him guilty. That was how she usually won his sympathy. ¡°You don¡¯t have time for me. Tom is the only one who helps me to train. He stands up for me when I¡¯m bullied by the pack members because of my weakness. Are you going to me me for going to check on him since I never saw him after the attack?¡± Alpha Nick¡¯s lips curled up into a mocking smile. He did not have the time to waste on a fool. Recalling how he treated She, he could not be at peace without allowing her to exert her own revenge on Charlotte. ¡°I only asked what you were doing there. I never med you for anything. Your thoughts must be so rotten,¡± he said with disgust, then grabbing hold of his mother¡¯s arm. ¡°Mom, let¡¯s go.¡± Charlotte had a depressed look on her face, wondering if he meant the words he just said. Before Alpha Nick entered his parent¡¯s room, Bree ran up to them. ¡°Nick, how did it go?¡± Alpha Nick turned around to see Charlotte staring at him with pain in her eyes. It was just the beginning of how she was going to pay for what she did and as well as made him do to She. He pushed Bree inside his parent¡¯s room and locked the door. ¡°Do you even know how to keep a secret?¡± Alpha Nick chastised his sister. Bree¡¯s express ¡°Sorry. I was too excited. I thought I¡¯d see you with She, and I could apologize to her.¡± ¡°Am I missing something?¡± Tedmond asked seriously, surprised that even Bree of all people had been bought over. It was as if he had been kept in the dark for a very long time. Alpha Nick sighed and told him everything. ¡°Charlotte has been cheating on me with Tom, but don¡¯t worry. I have everything under control.¡± Alpha Nick¡¯s expression was so calm that Tedmond refused to believe it. ¡°Nick, that is your mate you are using,¡± he pointed out. Bree was more conc ¡°Nick, where is She?¡± Alpha Nick helplessly exined. ¡°I¡¯m sorry Bree, but she left. Tell Dustin to release the rogues. She sent them to distract me.¡± The smile on Bree¡¯s face froze, her expression dulled instantly. ¡°I am not having my birthday party without She,¡± she said seriously and ran out of the room. After Bree left with a sorrowful expression, his mother asked, ¡°Nick, don¡¯t lie to me. What is going on?¡± Alpha Nick spoke in a depressed tone, feeling like She was testing him. If that was the case, he was determined to not disappoint her this time. ¡°I should have believed you. I want She back, but she left her pack again. Can you contact her?¡± Athena found it hard to deny her son anything when he was like this. She picked up her phone, but before dialing She¡¯s number, something cropped up in her mind, and she asked seriously, ¡°Tell me one thing. Have you slept with her?¡± Alpha took a deep breath, sat on his parent¡¯s bed, and began to exin. ¡°It was at the g awards night. We were both drugged.¡± Athena shook her head. As a wise woman, she quickly discerned everything. ¡°Then I see why she ran away.¡± Alpha Nick looked lost, asking, ¡°Why?¡± ¡°She¡¯s pregnant,¡± Athena announced. She knew that She was not afraid of Alpha Nick. For her to leave her pack because of him could only be becaus ¡°She? Pregnant? With my child?¡± Alpha Nick was pale. Chapter 87 Chapter 87 ¡°She? Pregnant? With my child?¡± Alpha Nick was pale as he recalled the letter. She had given him the other pair of earrings she cherished so much because they no longer held any meaning for her. She had found something better and more worthwhile. For all that she had sacrificed, she had found joy atst and was not willing to share it with him. After all, he had not shared in her pain and neglect when she lived with him. She had offere tter of gold, but he had refused to see. A treasure lost was hard to find. Alpha Nick realized how much his negligence had wounded her heart. She, being a sweet woman, found it hard to harbor a grudge and was even nice to him When he had asked for her help with the pack, she had obliged and never tried to cause problems for him and Charlotte. She had left with her head held high, so why couldn¡¯t he also live with his head held high without her? She was not ready to continue from where they had left off, and when he kept pestering her, the only choice she had was to run away, severing all ties in the process. A strong woman knew what she wanted and would not allow anybody to stand in her way, not even her pack or family. Doing what was best for her unborn child was all that mattered. Going back to the Dark Moon Pack would only bring her sorrowful memories. Alpha Nick was so depressed he wanted to cry, but tears failed him. He was hurt about her keeping the pregnancy from him, but he also knew that if he had known about it, he would have forced her back to the pack, which would have made her unhappy. He face¨Cpalmed, his hands moving from his face to his head, pulling all his hair behind him in deep thought. She had promised to be in touch with Athena, so Alpha Nick could not believe she would go against her own words. ¡°Mom, can¡¯t you reach her? Please call her at least. Did she not promise to be in touch with you?¡± He was desperate, not caring to hide it. Tedmond was when Charlotte disappeared on their wedding day, but now he saw a strange fire in his e Was it even possible that a man could love another woman better than his fated mate? Alpha Nick had not been so crazy when Charlotte disappeared. Though he had thought she was kidnapped, he had been usually calm, cold, and indifferent. But when She left him, he looked like he had died internally. Still, there was hope in his eyes. The hope of finding and making her his. The unquenchable fire of going beyond any length to get her back was what amazed Tedmond. Alpha Nick had been in love with She outside the mate bond without realizing it. This man did not love Charlotte. It was just the mate bond ying on his mind and making him feel as if they belonged together. 1/3 This was the worst Tedmond had ever seen his son, but it was strangely interesting to him. What makes you think she would keep in touch with me when she broke ties with everybody else?¡± Athena asked. It was understandable that She would not be able to keep her If she could send an attack to distract him, then why would she make it easy by telling Athena, knowing how willful Alpha Nick was? Athena dialed She¡¯s number and pressed the speaker button. It was out of reach. Hearing the robotic voice, Alpha Nick rushed out of the room, but Athena called him back. ¡°Nick, don¡¯t do anything silly. You need to rest.¡± She was afraid Alpha Nick would die from exhaustion. The truth remained that Alpha Nick was only there in body, but his ¡°How can I even sleep? My wife and unborn child are somewhere, so how can I sleep? I treated her so badly.¡± Alpha Nick¡¯s deep voice lost its warmth, turning rather sorrowful. His expressions were equally saddening. ¡°Can you believe she begged me to dy the for just a little so we could attend the g awards together?¡± Alpha Nick asked rhetorically. Tedmond could only feel his pain but not offer words offo ¡°Guess my response. I refused. I believe she wanted to reveal who she was to me because she loved me so much and did not want to lose me, but as soon as she saw Charlotte, she quickly signed the papers and left.¡± Time was a reminder of both the good and bad times. If Alpha Nick had an enchanted eraser, he would have erased the painful memories, making corrections with a pencil. ¡°If only I hadn¡¯t brought Charlotte in a rush when the divorce was not finalized, I believe she would not have left me. She loved me so much, and I was busy loving a two¨Ctiming, conniving, cheating mate. I have to go look for her.¡± Alpha Nick rushed through the door with hasty steps. It was as if he was chasing something dear. ¡°Nick¡­¡± Athena was about to stop him, but Tedmond held her back. As much as h ated it, guilt had begun to well up in his heart as well. He had met the He never even spoken about his prodigal daughter. Still, whether or not She was the daughter of the Alpha King, they should have treated her better. ¡°Let him go. He¡¯s hurting, and it will be good if he can find her, but what happens to your mate?¡± He asked Alpha Nick. Thetter halted just when he was ¡°Dad, I don¡¯t have time for her yet. All I care about is She, but as for Charlotte and Tom, I will 2/3 leal with themter¡± His resolve could not be broken. Whoever could not stand with him would have to give way. Tedmond was moved and could not believe what he was about to say. ¡°You can stay for as long as you want. I will help Dustin with pack matters.¡± This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Alpha Nick was amazed as his mother needed his father¡¯s attention because of her illness, but the determination in her eyes showed that she totally agreed with her mate. Gratitude rose in Alpha Nick¡¯s heart like a vapor. ¡°Thank you.¡± Downstairs, he heard Charlotte arguing with Bree. ¡°Why are you ignoring me? We are best friends, remember? Why are there tears in your eyes?¡± Charlotte genuinely cared this time, but Bree did not know how to answer her without revealing important secrets. ¡°I said I¡¯m fine. Just leave me alone.¡± Bree ran through the entrance and into the woods. Charlotte felt like she had just fallen from space. Everybody loo treated her differently. Seeing Alpha Nick, her eyes lit up, but he also bypassed her like the wind, not sparing her a nce. This time, Alpha Nick went with two bodyguards, being too tired to drive. His focus was to go see Arnold, but a few miles before reaching the Moonshine Pack, a familiar yellow Ferrari drove past him. He instantly ordered the bodyguard handling the steering. ¡°Follow the yellow car.¡± Chapter 88 Chapter 88 Goldie was now in charge of Sheridan¡¯s business. Per schedule, she was supposed to visit thepanies in person to ensure that everything went the way Sheridan wanted it. This was the first time Sheridan neglected her businesspletely. Aside from leaving instructions here and there about payment of remittan that needed signing in Goldie¡¯s care. Goldie was on the phone with her father, hanging up to see a Rolls Royce overtake her. The car suddenly crossed her path, stopping abruptly Recognizing the car toote, only Sheridan¡¯s warning that Alpha Nick might kidnap any of them to know her whereabouts rang in her mind. If she had known, she would have brought her bodyguards along, but even with that, they would be no match for Alpha Nick. Alpha Nick got down from his car and walked towards hers. Though dressed in just a shirt and a pair of trousers without his zer, he still carried that air of sophistication with him. Tapping on the window, Goldie reluctantly rolled it down. ¡°Unlock the door,¡± Alpha Nick instructed solemnly. She felt ufortable and refused. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I have to hurry to catch up with someone. I can¡¯t talk now. Please go to the pack,¡± Goldie spoke faster than normal, feeling nervous want from her was to know Sheridan¡¯s whereabouts, meaning that he did not trust their former report. Or, was it because she was the one who delivered Sheridan¡¯s letter to him? What a big mistake not to have let Arnold or any of Sheridan¡¯s brothers do so. Alpha Nick red at her. He had no intention of hurting her because she was Sheridan¡¯s cousin, but that did not mean he was going to take it kindly if she tried to make things difficult. ¡°I said, unlock the door. I will go wherever you are going. All you have to do is give me some answers.¡± In other words, he could sit in the car for her to drive wherever she was going, just so she would give him the right answers. Goldie swallowed tightly, understanding the reason why Sheridan used to be afraid of Alpha Nick throughout their marriage. His presence made the air ufortable. ¡°And if I refuse?¡± She asked, trying to be calm like Sheridan usually would when faced with a problem. Alpha Nick was not ready to give up until he got what he wanted. Gazing in the direction where his car was parked, he hinted. ¡°That car is not moving, and you will only be dyed longer.¡± ¡°Fuck!¡± Goldie cursed under her breath, hitting the steering wheel before unlocking the door. Alph. ¡°Take me to She,¡± he instructed. Goldie¡¯s shoulders dropped as she replied. 10 it elegantly beside her. ¡°I would love to, but you have to give me directions.¡± Alpha Nick¡¯s gaze darkened, and his anger red up. ¡°Don¡¯t mess with me.¡± The coldness in his tone could freeze the sea. Goldie was d an appreciative of Sheridan¡¯s smartness. If she had known her location, she would have given in by now. Especially knowing that Alpha Nick would not harm her. All he would do would be to pester her to return to his pack or to marry him again. ¡°Trust me, I even need her advice before signing some documents, but she locked everyone out because of you. She already knew you would this, saying she was saving us from you.¡± 43% 18:02 Alpha Nick smiled bitterly. It seemed he was the only book She read when she stayed at the pack, as she knew and predicted his ways like the back of her hand. He did not intend to give up on her but was eager to confirm Athena¡¯s words. ¡°Tell me one thing. Was she pregnant?¡± Goldie¡¯s hands around the steering wheel tightened. How could Alpha Nick have known? Whatever the case, it was not going to be from her as that was the reason Sheridan left. ¡°How am I supposed to know? You should ask Sheridan if you find her. I¡¯d like to know too.¡± It was obvious that she was taunting him, though putting on an innocent countenance. ¡°Look, Goldie. We can stay here all day until She returns. My pack is in the hands ofpetent people. You are the one whose absence might cause damage to your cousin¡¯s For the sake of pending matters at the office, Goldie reluctantly gave in. ¡°What do you want?¡± ¡°The truth. Was she pregnant?¡± Alpha Nick asked seriously. Goldie apologized multiple times in her mind before responding truthfully, ¡°Yes.¡± Alpha Nick¡¯s eyes lit up at the confirmation of Athena¡¯s words. That woman was so smart, without assuming the role of a Luna. He should have listened to her more often. Being certain that something precious bound him with She, hope arose inside of him. She would not get the peace she wanted by being away from him as that child would be a constant reminder of Alpha Nick in her life. N?velDrama.Org owns this text. ¡°When is sheing back? You must know something,¡± Alpha Nick asked with certainty. Goldie responded calmly, ¡°She¡¯s noting back until after the child is born.¡± ¡°Thank you for being honest.¡± He opened the door, stepped out, walked to his car, and sat back in before the bodyguard reversed and allowed Goldie to pass. His action dazed her, but she was d to go take care of important matters. When Sheridan returns, she will find a way of telling her about it. Alpha Nick instructed the driver, ¡°Back to the pack. I want someone stationed at the Moonshine pack and aro There was a calmness in his voice that was missing before. She would be back, but he hoped for it to be sooner than he expected. No matter what, he was going to wait for her and their unborn child. The bodyguard nodded his head and drove away. On their way back to the pack, his phone beeped, and he checked to see a video. Under a tree in the woods, Charlotte¡¯s naked backside was in the air as she bent over a log. Jor rusting in and out of h message read, ¡®Alpha, I saw them and took this video. Should we stone them to death? I haven¡¯t told or shown this to anyone yet.

Eight monthster ¡°It¡¯s a girl,¡± the doctor announced. In the delivery ward of a private hospital in New York City, Sheridan was tired but a smile bloomed on her face. For nine months, she stayed away from her family. It wasn¡¯t the first time, but this time was the most difficult as she was pregnant. Her nanny was a middle¨Caged woman who kept herpany all through. Throughout this time, Sheridan kept herself hidden, lest someone saw her pregnant and informed Alpha Nick, having no idea that he already knew. She stayed indoors. Her business ideas stuck in herputer. Aside from exercising in her private gym and jotting down more business ns and her baby¡¯s future, she never did anything else except reading and sleeping- It was boring, but to her, it was worth it, due to how much space Alpha Nick still had in her life. Distance was not able to make her forget him when his fetus was growing in her womb. Sometimes she wondered if Charlotte became Luna of the Dark Moon Pack or if Alpha Nick was still searching for her like he did Charlotte. The baby was ced on her ch*st as she caressed her back. She had already decided on a name when the scan showed a baby girl. ¡°Daisy Warner.¡± Sheridan wanted to inform her parents and brother, but a certain someone would be there to cause trouble. However, as Sheridan took a closer look at her newborn baby girl, she wanted to cry but tears failed her due to the love she had for the cute little creature. After taking a long break away from her pack and work, tending to the needs of her pregnancy, keeping healthy to have a healthy baby, the girl had no features resembling her. She had dark hair and dark eyes with thin lips just like Alpha Nick. It was as if the moon goddess wanted to torture her with Alpha Nick¡¯s presence. Daisy was ¨¤ pretty female version of her father. Sheridan¡¯s heart sank. Her mistake was loving a man who did not love her, but why would life be so unfair to her? With this striking resemnce, how on earth was she supposed to return to her pack? Anyone who saw Daisy would instantly connect the dots. A tear fell from her eyes was taken away for other tests as she herself was attended to. when Daisy Apr O 97% ¡°Sherry, you have to cat now.¡± Her nanny, Margaret, offered. Sheridan epted the food, but every bite felt like a bitter pill. ¡°I¡¯ve had enough.¡± ¡°No. You should eat more,¡± the housekeeper encouraged her. Sheridan shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m serious. I¡¯ve had enough.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t eat well, your breast milk won¡¯te in. What you eat can affect its quality,¡± the nanny pointed out. Sheridan forced herself to eat some more, but that was all her b*dy could take before she gave in to sleep. A few hourster, she was awakened by the cry of her baby. The midwife had brought her to feed. ¡°Try to breastfeed.¡± With the help of the midwife, she tried to breastfeed Daisy, but the girl refused totch on. Not even after all the tricks she was taught, including stroking her nipples slightly above her nose for her to open her mouth. ¡°Why won¡¯t she open her mouth?¡± Sheridan asked, worried. Daisy was bawling, but as soon as the nipple got close, her mouth was tightly shut. ¡°That¡¯s weird. Let¡¯s try the bottle,¡± the midwife suggested, offering her a breast pump. The breast pump was connected, and the breast milk pumped into a bottle, but once again, Daisy refused it. ¡°Let¡¯s try form,¡± the midwife suggested as it would be a problem if the baby did not feed. Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org. When given form, the girl emptied the bottle. Sheridan was frustrated. She did nothing wrong but felt as if she was being punished. A few dayster, her breast was engorged. Daisy had refused her mother¡¯s breast milk, and Sheridan ended up pumping it all away. After two weeks of pumping, she allowed her breast milk to dry up, but after a month, Daisy refused even the form, so Sheridan returned to the hospital. ¡°We did some tests and found some rare antigens in your baby¡¯s blood. We want to keep her for further observation.¡± Sheridan guessed that this problem needed to be resolved by a pack doctor and not the human ones. So, she politely declined. Knowing a few of her kind in the human reasonable exnation. orld, she located one of the doctors who gave a ¡°This might be gic. You should ch*ck with your parents or your child¡¯s father. You know how unique each of our kind could be.¡± 09:52 Mon, 22 Apr. Sheridan was depressed, not intending to return when Daisy was so young. ¡°What if I can¡¯t return now?¡± ¡°Then you have to try a variety of foods. With our kind, they are stronger than humans, so you can start with purees.¡± The advice worked. Daisy would sleep after taking any type of puree and wake up like a happy child. Sheridan was already thinking about setting up a business in New York City. Six monthster, Sheridan arrived home from a doctor¡¯s postnatal appointment when she saw a strange man in front of her apartment. Due to her temporary stay, she did not rent anything big or luxurious, living with just her nanny and baby. The neighborhood was peaceful, so being a tough one, she did not hire any security guard. This man refused to move out of the way, gging down her car. Sheridan looked behind at Daisy, soundly asleep in her child seat. Rolling down the driver¨Cside window, impatience coated her voice. ¡°What do you want, mister?¡± ¡°She, right? I only have a picture of you.¡± Sheridan understood that either this man was from here, as she only used her fake identity in New York and the Dark Moon Pack. So, if this man was not from here, then someone from the Dark Moon Pack sent him. The man was average¨Clooking with blonde hair and blue eyes. There was nothing special about him, and his countenance was unreadable. ¡°What do you want?¡± É« SEND GIFT Chapter 90 Chapter 90 A few days earlier, the Dark Moon packhouse was on fire. Charlotte had gone mad and could not take Alpha Nick¡¯s harsh treatment of her anymore. It was one of those days after training when she followed him to his office against his will. ¡°Get out, Charlotte. I have work to do,¡± Alpha Nick snarled. His mood had turned ugly ever since She¡¯s departure. He hardly smiled, and nothing interested him anymore. Charlotte had wasted so much time and was not willing to waste any more. She had already given Alpha Nick enough time toe around. Besides, his treatment of her reminded her so much of how he treated She in the at least the pack members were not as rebellious against She as they were towards Charlotte.

You also stopped the work on my parents¡® house for over a year now. Nick, I need a break.¡± She wasn¡¯t gaining anything in the pack. It would be better for her to return to New York to do something worthwhile with her life, and she felt strongly that her absence would cause Alpha Nick to miss her. When she was away, he missed her a lot, but when she returned, he was turned off. It was the same with She, so Charlotte thought the best way was to leave him for the time being until he comes begging. She would ensure that they mate and mark each other before she returns to him again. To her utmost disappointment, Alpha Nick responded slightly harshly, ¡°Well, the offer to allow you to leave the pack is no longer avable.¡± Charlotte¡¯s expression turned cold. Alpha Nick had no idea the kind of life she had lived, giving it all up to be by his side. Not even Tom could hold her down when she lived with him. Charlotte still had the freedom to do as she pleased, but right now, she felt suffocated and wanted to be liberated. ¡°What are you talking abour Alpha Nick gazed at her with a dark gaze that made her tremble. She could not understand the reason for his behaviors, no matter how much thought she put into it. ¡°You will not leave this pack until I decide so. Now get out,¡± he yelled. He hadn¡¯t caused her enough pain, so why should he let her go when she destroyed him? ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°I said, get out,¡± Alpha Nick yelled. Charlotte stumbled but held back from falling. Yet, she did not look like she wanted to leave. Something had awoken inside of her, and she was not willing to let it die. ¡°It¡¯s been almost two years like you said, and yet, you are still the weakest. Even an omega is stronger than you. Who is at the door?¡± Alpha Nick¡¯s voice raised. The anger and pain of not being able to see She nor his child ached him greatly. ¡°Alpha, it¡¯s me,¡± one of the b*dyguards rushed into the office and responded. With his burning gaze on Charlotte, he instructed the b*dyguard, ¡°Drag her out and ensure she never steps foot in this office again.¡± Charlotte was ashamed. Alpha Nick had treated her both coldly and harshly ever since the g awards night, but this was the first time he asked a b*dyguard to get her away from him. Seemed that things between them kept going from bad to worse. ¡°Nick, you banned me from your room and took the Luna chamber from me. Now you are banning me from entering your office too,¡± she kept yelling. Alpha Nick ignored as the b*dyguard dragged her out. Charlotte could not take it anymore and dashed into the woods as soon as the b*dyguard let go of her arm. When she saw Tom. she did not stop to speak to him. In the woods, she dialed a number, and the response was instant. ¡°Hello.¡± ¡°Salvadore, it¡¯s time to pay back the favor you owe me.¡± She could feel the man smile from the sound of his voice. Just mention it.¡± He had been waiting for a long time kindness Charlotte showed him before. Venave ¡°I want you to find She,¡± Charlotte said. ¡°You mean Sheridan?¡± Salvadore asked from the end of the line. He had a track record of everything concerning Charlotte, hoping not to disappoint her when the need arose. ¡°She owns Sherry¡¯s Couture, but she¡¯s not Sheridan. Isn¡¯t Sheridan the name of the Alpha King¡¯s prodigal daughter?¡± Charlotte asked as she was the only one in the packhouse, with the exception of the omegas, who was not privy to any She ¡°That is She,¡± Salvadore confirmed for her. Sheridan was numb. So She was not as poor as she thought, so why then did she marry Alpha Nick? It meant that She was genuinely in love with him. It was not in Charlotte to ever let She win. ¡°I see why Alpha Nick is treating me like this. He won¡¯t let me out of the pack. I feel like a prisoner, and he treats me like shit.¡± Salvadore was angered that his savior was being treated this way. ¡°Trust me. I will take care of Salvadore was angered that his savior was being treated t it.¡± 09:52 Mon, 22 Apr ¡°Charlotte, who are you talking to?¡± Tom¡¯s curious voice echoed. Charlotte quickly ended the call. ¡°No one.¡± If Tom found out about Salvadore, he would not trust her again. ¡°Are you cheating on me?¡± Tom was suspicious. It was fine for her to cheat on Alpha Nick, but it was not the same in his case. Charlotte did not care about what he thought, but since Salvadore was still loyal to her, she was certain to have a ce to call when she leaves the pack. ¡°You should look for a way for us to leave this pack. I just found out that She is the Alpha King¡¯s prodigal daughter. I think Alpha Nick already knows about this. Seems he¡¯s not happy with my return. I¡¯m tired anyway. I want to go,¡± Charlotte said in both seriousness, annoyance, and envy. Tom¡¯s eyes lit up, and he suggested, ¡°Then reject him.¡± SEND GIFT Chapter 91 Chapter 91 Charlotte thought for a while and shook her head. ¡°I can¡¯t.

Everything seemed strange to her in this pack, and she kept feeling ufortable. They rushed to where the pack members had gathered.

She was also carrying a baby. As soon as his eyes met with the baby¡¯s, she began to wiggle from Sheridan¡¯s arms. Sheridan had no idea who her baby was attracted to and only focused on calming her. When Alpha Nick saw Goldie and She¡¯s seven brothers fast approaching her, he hastened and snatched the baby from her. Sheridan stood frozen. Her eyes welled up in tears. ¡°Nick, what are you doing here?¡± Alpha Nick¡¯s voice was heavy with emotions by the way the baby rxed in L. fixated on him, and she even wore a cute smile with her two teeth. arms, her eyes arms, Alpha Nick¡¯s eyes welled up in tears as love filled his heart for the baby in his arms.

Give her back.¡± Her hand stretched to receive the baby, but Alpha Nick made no attempt to give her back. ¡°It doesn¡¯t look like she¡¯s ufortable.

Somehow, Daisy¡¯s presence scared off all of Alpha Nick¡¯s demons. That was why he was so calm. ¡°Alright,¡± he said to Sheridan¡¯s relief, but she paled when he added, ¡°but I will have a DNA test carried out first, and you better move out of my way,¡± he said to Arnold who had blocked his path. Sheridan¡¯s heart walloped, and at the same time, Alpha Nick shoved Arnold with one arm, holding Daisy securely with the other. He saw no reason to be polite anymore. If he tried being gentle, Sheridan and her brothers would equally steal his daughter from him. Goldie was ufortable and whispered in Sheridan¡¯s ears. ¡°He knows. That is what I wanted to tell you. He cornered me when I was going to the office¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright. It¡¯s not your fault.¡± Sheridan understood the reason for Alpha Nick¡¯s confidence and ran after him since he already walked past Arnold after shoving him away. ¡°No need for a DNA test. She¡¯s ours.¡± Alpha Nick paused, turned around, and stared at her. ¡°You don¡¯t want me in your life, so she¡¯s only mine. Now that I have her, the Dark Moon Pack has an heir. You kept her pregnancy and birth from me, denying me the right to experience it.¡± Pain shot through his heart, registering in his eyes as he added. ¡°I can take it from here.¡± A tear dropped down Sheridan¡¯s cheeks. That baby would not even cry to give her the opportunity of taking her from Alpha Nick, but she saw a loophole in Alpha Nick¡¯s ns. ¡°She¡¯s a girl. She can¡¯t be an heir,¡± she pointed out. Alpha Nick¡¯s expression remained unchanged. ¡°I will train her.

They could keep She away from him because of his mistake of divorcing her, but when it came to his child, nob*dy had the right to take her away from him. ¡°Then I don¡¯t mind fighting my way out, but this child iing with me,¡± he replied solemnly, his gaze unwavering. He was prepared to battle them, even though they were. Sheridan¡¯s brothers. Sheridan felt guilty. Alpha Nick must have hurt her, but what did it have to do with the child? His agitation was understandable, but the fact remained that she had no idea who the stranger she met in New York City was. ¡°Nick, please, let¡¯s talk in my pack. My parents have not seen her,¡± she pleaded. Something stirred inside Alpha Nick. He was not petty enough to deny her parents the right to see their grandchild, even though they wanted to keep her from him. However, with her brothers ready for battle, he would not be able to fight off a whole. pack alone if the need arose. ¡°Then let me call for backup. I wouldn¡¯t be surprised if your brothers try something funny.¡± Sheridan disagreed. It was as if she had juste to her senses. ¡°No. This is going to be a peaceful coboration, and I wille to the Dark Moon Pack. I will ept the offer to be your contract Luna for six months.¡± Her heart ached at the mention of a contract. She had never gotten over him during her time away from him, and now that they had a child together, it was even worse as they would never be able to avoid each other. No matter how much she tried to deny it, a contract was not what she needed, but to gather herself, she would rather start over from there. Alpha Nick did not agree to her request. ¡°No. You can only be my wife. That offer is off.¡± Sheridan swallowed tightly. The most important thing was to provide a safe environment for her child to grow up in. Therefore, it was necessary to do everything possible to get Daisy to safety before she tried to battle that creepy man. ¡°Then you have to give me time. I will visit the pack first, but without Daisy. You can¡¯t take her there,¡± she revealed. Alpha Nick¡¯s brows raised slightly as he asked seriously, 1/3 ¡°What are you talking about?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go home first.¡± Sheridan looked around at the onlookers. They were indeed causing a scene, and it was best not to discuss sensitive matters in the open. Alpha Nick wanted to refuse, but the panicked look on her face sparked his concern for her, so he followed them to the Moon Shine Pack. The Alpha King and his queen were surprised to see Alpha Nick¡¯s presence but guessed the reason. ¡°He found out.¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Sheridan responded with a sullen expression as she took a seat on one of therge sofas. Alpha Nick sat beside her with Daisy, who was now sleeping soundly in his arms. Everyone made themselvesfortable before the Alpha King began to ask, ¡°So, what have you decided?¡± His question was directed at Alpha Nick. He replied honestly. ¡°I¡¯m ready to marry She.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to marry you,¡± Sheridan denied, though her cheeks were stained red. She was just afraid of being hurt again. After everything, she could not hate him and feared. that if he hurt her again by finding his second chance mate, she would not be able to withstand it. She might even lose her life. ¡°Then I will keep Daisy, but you will have visiting rights,¡± Alpha Nick said with a pained expression. He had hurt her, but how long would it take for her to forgive him? The Alpha King, Julius Warner, had his reservations about this arrangement. He wished that Sheridan would have a man to call her own but could not force it on her. ¡°That is my first grandchild, Alpha Nick Thorax. Please reconsider.¡± ¡°I agreed to have another contract with him,¡± Sheridan revealed. Her father did not like the idea but asked her, ¡°So, you have decided to go back?¡± He did not want her to regret it again. If they had feelings for each other, then why not be together? ¡°He didn¡¯t give me a choice,¡± Sheridan responded in a depressed tone. Alpha felt guilty. She was the one who proposed the marriage, but he was the one who initiated the divorce. What right did he have to force her? Perhaps it was due to the pain of not seeing her pregnant, not going to the doctor¡¯s. appointments with her, and not being present for the birth of his child. 2/1 This was the reason she ran away, and he didn¡¯t want it to happen again. ¡°I had the right to know, She.¡± His voice lost its hardness, suddenly filled with warmth. ¡°She¡¯s Sheridan. I don¡¯t want to hear you calling her She,¡± the Alpha King corrected, but Alpha Nick somehow could not refer to She as Sheridan. ¡°That is what she told me, and that was the name she wrote on our marriage certificate. I¡¯m quite used to and morefortable with it.¡± ¡°It¡¯s also the same name on the divorce papers,¡± Sheridan reminded him, unknowingly confirming his argument to her father. Alpha Nick wanted her so much that letting her go was too hard for him. However, he would rather let go than watch her disappear from his life again. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, She. I promise in front of your father, your mother, seven brothers, and cousin that I will make you the happiest woman in the world if youe back to me.¡± He paused, his eyes carryingplex emotions, and his voice heavy with regret as he added. ¡°But if you want to stand by your word to note back to me, I deserve it. We can have equal custody of Daisy.¡± He wanted her to have the taste of revenge with him, but since she seemed uninterested, it was time to reject Charlotte and let her go. If She did not want him, then he had no need for any other woman in his life. Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org. The moon goddess was gracious to give him a daughter through the woman he loved, and that was enough for him. Those words, regardless of how they were spoken, caused his heart to ache. Sheridan. was suddenly shaken. He was finally giving up on her, but why was she not happy about it? Wasn¡¯t this what she wanted? For him to leave her alone, but was she ready to battle. against her feelings for him? And what if she lost him forever? After careful thought and assessing her emotions, she made the greatest decision of her life¡­ 3/3 Chapter 94 Chapter 94 ¡°Let¡¯s start over. Not with a contract or marriage. Let it be from dating. Things should develop naturally without force, but Daisy has to stay here,¡± Sheridan spoke her mind. Alpha Nick agreed to a fresh start for both of them but not without their daughter. ¡°I¡¯m not leaving without our daughter. Not after you kept her away from me.¡± His eyes were red with determination. He just could not ept it. There was something called bonding moments. He already missed a greater part of it, and this was the time to make up for it. The whole reason why Sheridan brought him over here was because of this. If it were just about the two of them, then that could have been taken care of at the airport. ¡°I met someone in New York. He told me to pass a message to you, and it concerns. Charlotte.¡± Alpha Nick was uneasy, but his murder instincts were instantly activated. ¡°What¡¯s his name?¡± He solemnly asked. Sheridan pursed her lips, regretting not doing a little ch*ck on the man, but her daughter¡¯s safety was of greater concern to her. ¡°I don¡¯t know. I was more concerned about protecting Daisy. He said that I should tell you to release Charlotte, or he would hurt Daisy. With Charlotte in your pack, Daisy is safer here until we get to the bottom of it.¡± Alpha Nick wanted to believe everything she was saying, but what if it was just a ploy to get him out of the pack again before she disappears with their daughter? Thest time he saw her, things seemed to be picking up between them when she suddenly disappeared after sending rogues to attack his pack. Can He just could not be angry because none of his pack members lost their lives. ¡°How I trust you again, She? You tricked me before,¡± he pointed out, but he was not cold. towards her. can Guiltced Sheridan¡¯s voice heavily as she lowered her head. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but it won¡¯t happen again. It was no use anyway. Look at Daisy. It¡¯s so cruel that she looks so much like you. She never even breastfed. Also, it¡¯s past her eating time, but she hasn¡¯t made a fuss. Nick, it wasn¡¯t long before my nned return anyway.¡± Alpha Nick recalled Goldie¡¯s/words that She promised to return a few months after the child was born, which was in line with what she just said. If she was going to give him a second chance, then it was just worthwhile that he also took the risk to trust her again. 1/4 ¡°Because of all the people here, I will trust you onest time,¡± he said seriously. Sheridan released a relieved sigh. She did not expect him to trust her so easily, but then, it was understandable because he said that he loved her. Daisy was already sleeping, so Alpha Nick k*ssed her on the forehead and handed her over to the queen. Her eyes were filled with tears. ¡°It¡¯s true. She looks just like you.¡± The queen could not hold back her emotions. She was itching to hold her granddaughter, but due to everything going on, she had to be patient. It was clear that little Daisy was going to be spoiled not only by her father but also by her seven uncles, aunt, and grandparents. Alpha Nick stretched his hand towards Sheridan. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Sheridan was reluctant, not willing to leave without spending some time with her parents. The next time she returns, it might be for Daisy, and she would still not get to spend time with them. ¡°Please, just give me a day. I wille. I promise. I don¡¯t believe that you came to the airport because of me.¡± Alpha Nick instantly recalled the visiting Alphas. He hadpletely forgotten about them, and it was not appropriate to not be there when he promised to personally pick them up from the airport. He already failed in that part. ¡°I have guests, but Dustin is capable of taking care of them. Let¡¯s go,¡± he insisted. Sheridan and her family were all emotional. ¡°Please, Alpha Nick. Sheridan has been away for a while. We miss her too. I promise to drive her to your pack tomorrow. I am also interested in knowing how things are faring with your pack,¡± Arnold said gently, trying to buy his trust and not upset him. Sensing his reluctance, As added his voice. ¡°We shall all escort her and spend the night, so you should make room for us since you already have guests. Like Arnold said, we have to ensure that you don¡¯t treat her the same way as before.¡± In the presence of the Alpha King, Alpha Nick did not doubt that they would keep their word but issued a strong warning. ¡°If I don¡¯t see her at my pack before sundown tomorrow, I will not mind going into war with you. And onest thing, while Daisy stays here for the time being, I want herst name changed to Thorax.¡± ¡°I agree,¡± the Alpha King gave his word. Arnold added his voice. ¡°It won¡¯te to that. We will bring her to you.¡± They understood the reason for Alpha Nick¡¯s insecurities and thought to assure him. However, they were not going to release their only sister without ensuring that she was indeed weed to the Dark Moon Pack. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. Before Alpha Nick left, he said to Sheridan, ¡°we have to talk. In private.¡± His voice was stern, leaving no room for argument. Sheridan swallowed tightly. ¡°I know a ce.¡± Alpha Nick guessed where and disagreed. ¡°I won¡¯t go to that summer hut. Someb*dy might hear us. Can we talk in your room?¡± He asked politely, his expression stern. No one could guess what was on his mind. After a little thought, Sheridan agreed. ¡°Fine.¡± All attention was garnered on Daisy when Sheridan left with Alpha Nick. Everyone wanted to hold her, but the queen refused for anyone to disturb her sleep. They could y with her after she woke up from her peaceful sleep. As soon as Sheridan closed the door to her room, she was pressed against the wall, as Alpha Nick towered over her, his gaze dark with desire. ¡°Tell me the truth. Why did you run away?¡± He knew she was hiding something and hadn¡¯t forgotten how she tricked him. Sheridan¡¯s breathing was erratic, consumed by his cologne scent. His closeness was driving her insane; it felt as though she was going to lose her mind. Her hands pressed against his chest, ready to push him away, but he caught it, lifting it above her head. No matter how tough she was, this was Alpha Nick she was dealing with. ¡°I will tell if you tell me why you are still keeping Charlotte in your pack. It¡¯s been a year and some months. You should have let her go by now.¡± you If not for Charlotte, that creepy man would not havee to threaten her, and it was all because Alpha Nick was still keeping her. His dark gaze glued to her rosy lips, as he resisted the urge to fiercely devour them. ¡°You remember the day we signed the divorce papers?¡± He asked through heavy breaths. Sheridan tried to calm her breathing. ¡°Yes.¡± Even as her hand was held above her head, he did not fully press his b*dy against hers but caressed her soft cheek, their lustful gazes locked together. ¡°That was because Charlotte was there, right?¡± He asked her, his voice turning S*xy. ¡°Yes.¡± Sheridan¡¯s voice was no better. Alpha Nick¡¯s eyes suddenly held remorse as he continued to speak. ¡°The same way, I want her to feel the pain you felt before leaving. Then I will leave her in the hands of the pack members.¡± Confusion clouded Sheridan¡¯s mind, and her gaze lowered. ¡°Why is that?¡± Alpha Nick could only leave Charlotte in the hands of the pack members if she offended the pack, but all her offenses were rather against him. What could have happened that Sheridan did not know about? COMMENT Chapter 95 Chapter 95 Since she wasing back, Alpha Nick owed it to her to prepare her for what she wasing to meet. He exined, ¡°She defiled my pack by having S*x with Tom in the woods.¡± Sheridan¡¯s lips parted in shock. Packs were different, but at the Dark Moon Pack, their woods were a sacred ce. Intimacy was taboo. It was a sin against the pack for one to have S*x. Light k*sses were permissible, but they cherished S*x as something only to be done indoors, in the confines of one¡¯s bedroom. Charlotte had lived there for so long and should have known this. ¡°That is a great offense,¡± Sheridan said in a shaky voice. Alpha Nick¡¯s hand had lowered to her buttocks, giving it a tight squeeze that made her sweat with sinful pleasure. She could not hold back the moan that escaped her as she caressed his curly hair. Alpha Nick¡¯s breath was heavy, and he wanted to do so many things to her but did not want to lose control, lest she felt bad and changed his mind about returning to him. ¡°So, tell me. Why did you run away? Please don¡¯t lie to me.¡± His lips were close to her cars, his hot breath fanning them. She squirmed, turning her head to the side to avoid the sinful things her b*dy was feeling. Her action caused his lips to fall on her n*ck, sucking deeply and leaving a hickey. ¡°I tried to hate you, She, but I couldn¡¯t. I felt that your actions were justified, and I hope that your time away gave you what you wanted.¡± Tears welled up in Sheridan¡¯s eyes as she spoke truthfully. ¡°No, it didn¡¯t. I ran away because I felt stupid.¡± ¡°How?¡± Alpha stiffened slightly and held her teary gaze. Her hands holding his hair equally dropped. ¡°I was ashamed of the fact that I was still in love with you when you hurt me so much.¡± A tear dropped down her cheek, and Alpha Nick pressed his lips on it, k*ssing her tears away, and tasting the saltiness in it. Warmth filled his heart, such as he had never felt before. ¡°This is the sweetest thing I have heard in forever. I¡¯m so sorry for realizing toote how much I love and could never live without you,¡± he smiled affectionately at her. Sheridan suddenly regained herself, realizing that she had just confessed her feelings to him: Did he charm her or something? The smirk in the corner of his lips was so annoying. ¡°You asshole, get out of my room.¡± Alpha Nick chuckled and leaned closer. He whispered in her ear, ¡°I will, but you owe me that night. You promised to give yourself to me again, remember?¡± Sheridan felt her cheeks burning so hot they climbed to her ears as fear, blended with passion, gripped her momentarily. ¡°You haven¡¯t forgotten?¡± She felt embarrassed as she recalled that night. She had agreed so easily. Alpha Nick seemed to be enjoying the changes in her expression, including the redness of her face. 1/3 ¡°I never had a memory of how you tasted. Have a good rest because tomorrow night, you shall fulfill that promise.¡± Sheridan¡¯s fingers balled as she tried to calm her anxiety. How foolish of her to make such a promise to an Alpha, no other than Alpha Nick, and think he would forget about it. They were so close that they could feel each other¡¯s breath. His thumb caressed her parted lips, and his eyes filled with desire. Their lips inched closer, she thought he was going to k*ss her, her eyes closed. The next moment she heard the opening and closing of the door. Just like that, he was gone. Disappointment filled her mien. Why did she desire him so much after all that he caused her? Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. Alpha Nick arrived at the Dark Moon Pack at almost midnight, feeling light, happy, and nostalgic. He was missing She so much, wishing for the time to run fast to the next day. He was just going to wee those four Alphas but never thought to return with the heart he once lost with a cute creature that looked like him. Except she was so pretty that he could not take his eyes off her. He knew that sleep would be far from him, as he would not stop daydreaming and counting the stars until tomorrow when Sheridan arrives. To his utmost surprise, Beta Dustin and Bree were waiting, as Dustin had only informed Bree of all that happened. She had only returned an hour ago from her visit to other packs because Dustin called to inform her on the phone. The visiting Alphas had all retired to bed, so there was nothing to be done. Dustin¡¯s gaze dulled when he saw Alpha Nick alone. ¡°What happened? How did it go? Did you see her?¡± He was not even giving Alpha Nick the chance to speak. Alpha Nick looked around and informed them. ¡°Let¡¯s go to my room.¡± T Without a word, they followed him, and as soon as he closed the door, a smile bloomed on his lips as he announced, ¡°The pack has an heir. She¡¯s Daisy, and she looks just like me.¡± Bree had tears in her eyes, eager to see her niece. Dustin was equally overwhelmed with joy, wishing they could wake Athena to inform her about the news. ¡°When do we see her?¡± Alpha Nick¡¯s smile slowly faded. ¡°Soon. Someone has eyes on Daisy, and it¡¯s rted to Charlotte, so she will be at the Moonshine Pack for the time being. She, her brothers, and cousin will be here tomorrow before sundown,¡± he finally smiled again. Bree nudged her big brother yfully. ¡°Finally. You should have said that part first.¡± ¡°When did you even get here, and how are the guests?¡± Alpha Nick asked. Bree¡¯s lips closed as she had not even seen them. ¡°Sleeping,¡± Beta Dustin answered, adding, ¡°Alpha Seiko is quite upset that you didn¡¯t keep to your word.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I will make it up to him. As for now, you two get out of my room. I have to prepare it for the seconding of my wife.¡± 2/3 THIT Dustin and Bree were shocked that he did not want to involve the maids. Alpha Nick was the happiest they had ever seen him, and it was quite infectious. The next day, Bree woke up very early due to the excitement of seeing She soon. However, she began to feel strange. Her heart was pounding fast, and she felt drawn to something. Freshening up and dressing up for training, she stepped out of the door and saw one of the Alphas. Her wolf instantly screamed. ¡°Mate.¡± 3/3 Chapter 96 Chapter 96 CAMILLA¡¯S PO.V The room was beautiful to say the least and the bed was massive but I took note of arge chaise lounge by the corner. It seemed like a good ce to sleep. I was sure I could get my hands on some extra nkets if it proved to be ufortable. Ryker led me towards arge wardrobe and I stared nkly at the clothes in there. ¡°I don¡¯t know thest thing about royal fashion,¡± I began slowly. ¡°Do you think Christine can help me or something?¡± ¡°Christine is dealing with the elders right now. I don¡¯t know if your wall is up but they have been mind linking me non¨Cstop,¡± I cursed. ¡°I can help you if you want. I think I know enough to be able to pick a decent outfit.¡± ¡°Will you help me put it on as well?¡°my cheeks heated as I asked those words. It was clear he had seen me n*ked before. We had two children but that didn¡¯t mean I wasn¡¯t ufortable and apprehensive at the idea. ¡°I can direct you on what to do. You¡¯ll only need my help for the corset.¡± That seemed like a better idea and as much as I hated to admit it, I loved how considerate he was being. He didn¡¯t have to do all of this for me but he chose to and I found that to be such a beautiful thing to do. It took us almost half an hour to get me dressed but just like he predicted, I needed his help with the corset. My cheeks were ming as I made my way over to him but he lookedpletely unfazed. His eyes never moved lower than where they were meant to and he was careful as he pulled on the ropes of my dress. ¡°Tell me if it is too tight,¡± his voice was huskier than usual and it was directly by my ear. I hated the way my b*dy reacted to it and I tried to ignore it but it was almost as if he already knew because he cursed loudly. ¡°Cami, I-¡± His words were cut off by the door mming open and a little girl rushed in. It was like looking at a younger version of myself- excluding the eyes, she had Ryker¡¯s eyes. Before I could process what was happening, she rushed over to me and threw her arms around my legs. I stilled for a split second not knowing what to do until I heard her sniffling. I felt my wolf stir and it was like something in me was awoken. I lifted her into my arms and it proved to be the right thing to do because she wrapped herself around me like a small monkey. I felt wetness on my shoulder as she sobbed into me. ¡°Where did you go?¡± she asked but I couldn¡¯t form the words necessary to give her a response. ¡°I asked you toe back every day and you didn¡¯t.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± I whispered. I assumed this was Audrey and as much as I didn¡¯t remember her, my heart still broke for her. There was no denying that she was mine and just knowing that I ? O Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. find my way back.¡± She sniffled and pulled back as if to gauge my expression and whatever she found there must have been good enough because she smiled. She turned to face Ryker. ¡°You brought her back, daddy.¡± I felt Ryker smile at her. ¡°I did, but you need to give your m¨´m some time to rest, okay? She was hurt and she needs to get better.¡± Audrey pouted but she listened to her father and untangled herself from me. I watched her exit the same way she came and once she was gone, Ryker spoke. ¡°I am sorry about that. I expected her toe find you but not this soon.¡± I cleared my throat trying to get rid of the emotion lodged deep inside. ¡°It¡¯s fine, can you just finish with my dress.¡± His hands moved quickly as he tied it up neatly. It felt snug but not tight and as much as I wanted it to feel right, it didn¡¯t. It felt ufortable and different from what I was used to. It would take some getting used to. ¡°I know I have to see everyone,¡± I began slowly. ¡°But I cannot risk looking stupid. I reckon we have a little time before everyonees looking for us. I would appreciate it if you told me everything I needed to know.¡± ¡°That¡¯s six years worth of knowledge,¡± he reminded me and I nodded. ¡°We have less than half an hour to cover it all. I don¡¯t want to dump too much information on you. It might overwhel you.¡± ¡°I would rather be overwhelmed with information than go out there and risk looking like a fool.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t ou just tell everyone that you don¡¯t remember?¡± he asked and I scoffed. ¡°I might remember much but I know enough to know that no one wants a ruler who doesn¡¯t even know who she is. No one can know about this. That is my decision.¡± I noticed that the corner of his lips was tilted up in some sort of smile so I crossed my arms over my chest. ¡°What is it? Did I say something wrong?¡± ¡°No, you just spoke like a Queen,¡± he said simply. ¡°You might not remember, Cami, but your mind does. Your memories will return in no time but if you want me to tell you everything, then so be it.¡± We spent the next half hour discussing everything and by the time he was done exining everything, I just sat there stunned. I couldn¡¯t believe that I had a life that was that exciting. He glossed over most of the details and I had the sinking feeling that he was hiding something from me but it all seemed unbelievable. ¡°I did all those things?¡± I asked and he nodded. ¡°How?¡± He smiled sardonically. ¡°I can see that your self depreciating hasn¡¯t stopped even with the 10:20 JU, 25 memory loss,¡± ¡°It just- I¡¯m just surprised is all.¡± ¡°You are an amazing queen and you are powerful, Cami. You were able to do those things simply because you had the power to.¡± I opened my mouth to speak but was cut off by a knock on the door. It creaked open to reveal Christine and when she looked between Ryker and I, I leaped to my feet. I wasn¡¯t sure why I did that especially when I knew we weren¡¯t doing anything untowardly but it still felt like being caught by a parent or a disapproving older sister. ¡°The elders want to see you,¡± she said with her eyes fixed on me. ¡°I can try to dissuade them but they are persistent.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright, I¡¯ll see them.¡± She didn¡¯t look convinced and she looked to Ryker for confirmation. I tried to pretend that it didn¡¯t affect me. ¡°If she wants to see them then she will. It is her choice,¡± I was shocked at those words and turned to Ryker but for once, his eyes were not on me, they were on Christine. ¡°Don¡¯t coddle her. I know you want to protect her but I believe that she has proven time again that she can protect herself.¡± ¡°Fine,¡± Christine wasn¡¯t happy about it at all but there was nothing that she could do. ¡°They¡¯re in the council room.¡± Despite my earlier bravado, I was terrified to see the elders. From what Ryker had told me about them, they were not the nicest people. The only one who seemed decent was Caius but that only happened in private. ¡°Are you ready?¡± Ryker asked as I stood in front of the council door and I nodded. I feared that if I were to say any words, they would die on my throat. He gave me onest lingering look before pushing the door open and I was greeted with arguing. The elders went silent as soon as they saw us and all their mouths fell open. I looked at their faces trying to figure out who Caius was when Ryker leaned down to whisper. ¡°He is at the far left,¡± I saw him immediately and whispered a thank you back to him. He straightened and turned to the elders. ¡°Are you done arguing or can wee in?¡± There was some murmuring but no one said a word. I walked on shaky legs towards the chair at the head of the table and slowly sat down. I had barely sat when questions started being thrown at me. I hadn¡¯t been with then for an hour and I was already sporting a headache. ¡°Can you ask your questions one at a time?¡± I asked louder than intended as I pressed my fingers to my temple. ¡°You are giving me a headache.¡± 1 Everyone blinked and no one spoke until Caius cleared his throat. ¡°We were all just ||| O wondering where you were all these months and why you didn¡¯t return.¡± ¡°You brought me here to ask a stupid question?¡± I couldn¡¯t stop myself from asking. I was pissed to say the least. I had enough on my te without grown men making it worse. ¡°I was hurt and healing, not that it concerned any of you. You didn¡¯t even bother to ask how I survived a fall like that.¡± ¡°Your majesty-¡± one of the elders began but I cut him off with a hand. Inside I was shaking but I couldn¡¯t deny that a part of me loved the power that I wielded. It felt amazing to know that they were all at my beck and call. ¡°I don¡¯t have time for this, honestly. I am here now and that is what matters. You should be focused on putting an end to the funeral ritual you were holding for me because as you can see, I am not dead,¡± I stood to my feet before anyone else could say a word. ¡°Is that all?¡± No one dared to speak so I turned on my heels and walked out of the room. I could feel Ryker¡¯s pride as he walked out in tow with me and as soon as we were out of the door, I let out the breath that I had been holding. ¡°How did I do?¡± I wasn¡¯t sure why I asked but a part of me sought his approval. ¡°Honestly, that was amazing. I told you that you could handle yourself as Queen.¡± ¡°I hope you¡¯re right about that. I thought I was going to throw up in there.¡± Heughed. ¡°Wee back, Cami.¡± SEND GIFT ||| O ? COMMENT Chapter 97 Chapter 97 ¡°I heard it from Alpha Nick¡¯s own mouth,¡± Tom emphasized since Charlotte did not believe him. Then she recalled that before She¨Cleft, he made her promise toe visit the pack once in a while. ¡°Yes, that could be the only reason. ¡°It was part of their arrangement for her toe and visit the pack here and then. There is nothing more to it,¡± Charlotte said aloud,forting herself with the arrangement. Tom was disappointed and shook his head. ¡°Then you are just as dumb as the pack members say. She is going to stay forever. Have you thought about it? your Alpha Nick doesn¡¯t care about you anymore. Reject him and let¡¯s leave. You have not been disowned from pack like me. We can begin life over there,¡± Tom advised. The strange feeling he kept having would not allow him to rx. Something unforeseeable was coming, and he wanted to leave before it arrived. Charlotte still disagreed. ¡°Alpha Nick is only upset because I¡¯m weak. I¡¯m still his mate so he can¡¯t do anything with She. It¡¯s against his principles. Don¡¯t forget I was the reason why he sent her away.¡± She was gone for good, and Charlotte was certain that Alpha Nick would want nothing to do with her. This visit was just for him to keep his promise to the pack members. Tom could not understand his reason for falling in love with such a dumb woman. Now he felt foolish to have rejected his destined mate because of her. ¡°Alright. You are on your own. I will find a way to leave this pack before it¡¯s toote. They said guests wereing. They are already here, but the pack house is still being spotlessly cleaned. Her seven brothers areing too. Do you stand a chance?¡± Tom tried onest time to elope from the pack as this seemed like the perfect opportunity. The guests were a great distraction for Alpha Nick to not detect their untimely departure. ¡°I never knew before that she was the Alpha King¡¯s daughter, but don¡¯t worry. As long as Alpha Nick and I are still mates, She is nothing even if she is the moon goddess,¡± Charlotte said confidently. Since she was the reason She left, she would ensure that she doesn¡¯t stay after the introduction to the pack members. 1/4 +5 ¡°Alright. If you say so. Like you already know, I have nothing now. I need a ce to start from. I can¡¯t continue living like this. Without being a pack member, I am not entitled to anything except the free food and shelter I get at the pack house. When was thest time Alpha Nick bought you clothes?¡± He asked, making Charlotte sorrowful. Alpha Nick used to be generous to her but suddenly got stingy. N?velDrama.Org owns this text. ¡°He won¡¯t make us pack members because we are not important to him. Shall we visit the woods later? Sex is the only thing that makes me feel like I¡¯m still a man,¡± Tom suggested. If Charlotte won¡¯t leave with him, he could have goodbye S*x with her before leaving. ¡°Of course, but I would like to see the face of that bitch first plus we have to be very careful.¡± Alpha Nick and the other Alphas arrived at training, excited. The pack members were surprised to see their Alpha in such a good mood, lightening the atmosphere. ¡°Alpha Nick, isn¡¯t that your mate? Why have you not introduced her?¡± Alpha Seiko asked in annoyance. Alpha Nick¡¯s gaze darkened as he replied, ¡°We are here to train so everyb*dy is the same.¡± Then he turned to the warriors. ¡°Everyone, take your positions. The four Alphas we talked about are here in our midst. I hope you will put on your best behavior and oh, I have a surprise for everyb*dy tomorrow.¡± The warriors were super excited. Coming from their Alpha, they knew it was going to be a st, though not knowing what the surprise was. Charlotte¡¯s expression was dark, faintly guessing it was because of She. Why was Alpha Nick hyping her like that? Was it because Charlotte was weak? She could taste bitterness in her mouth. Alpha Seiko felt that Alpha Nick was acting weird but kept his reservations until training was over. As they yed golf, he asked again in detail. ¡°Alpha Nick, is there a problem between you and your mate? You seem distant towards her.¡± Alpha Nick had no interest in speaking about Charlotte so he rather said, ¡°My wife would be arriving at the pack tonight. I¡¯d rather prefer that you don¡¯t mention my mate.¡± Alpha Seiko shook his head. This was one of the most respectable Alphas and also one of the biggest packs. Alpha Nick was a role model so how could he be doing this? 2/4 G GoodNovel +5 ¡°Alpha Nick, that is not right. If you found your mate, then you should let your wife go.¡± Alpha Nick smiled at the mention of wife. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. By the time you leave this pack, we can decide on who my Luna should be.¡± This revenge n should not take him more than three days, being tired of seeing Charlotte¡¯s miserable face every day. At sundown, dinner was being prepared, and the table was well arranged for twenty people. Athena did not believe that She wasing, as thetter had still not called her, but she and Tedmond still dressed formally. Beta Dustin was dressed in a suit since his Alpha had done the same. Bree had exined things to Alpha Ansaldo, but he still feared She revealing what happened with her drink. The packhouse looked elegant, and somehow, Charlotte had also dressed nicely, same as Tom. Alpha Nick did thest¨Cminute checks on his own to ensure that everything was fine, just as a mind link came through. ¡®Alpha, our guests from the Moon Shine Pack have arrived. They should be at the pack house in a minute.¡¯ ¡°She¡¯s here,¡± Alpha Nick screamed like a kid and rushed out after the call, everyb*dy followed her. Tom and Charlotte followed but stood a distance away. Alpha Nick and Beta Dustin were the ones going to wee the guests. Eight different Bugatti La Voiture Noire drove in a convoy. The fifth one was yellow, and they slowed down to a stop in front of the pack house. Alpha Nick instinctively moved towards the yellow one. Ever since the divorce, he always only saw She in a yellow car. When he opened the door, it was not She who stepped out, but he weed her. ¡°Goldie, wee.¡± Strangely, Goldie¡¯s gaze was on the man behind Alpha Nick. Before he could ask if there was a problem, two voices, a male and a female sounded together, ¡°mate.¡± 3/4 Chapter 98 Chapter 98 Goldie was stunned to have found her second chance mate in the Dark Moon pack of all packs. During Sheridan¡¯s wee party, many prominent men attended, but she did not find a second chance mate, thinking that the moon goddess had given up on her because she rejected her cheating mate. Alpha Nick could not believe what was happening. Dustin¡¯s mate was She¡¯s cousin? Well, he was happy for them but could not congratte them until he saw She. Goldie seemed to be the only one in the yellow Bugatti La Voiture Noire, so he moved to the next one. Bending slightly to see who was in the car, a familiar voice spoke behind him. ¡°What made you walk past the first to the fifth car?¡± Alpha Nick turned around at the sound of her voice. Sheridan wore an off¨Cshoulder white dress, slightly below the knee with four¨Cinch stilettos. Her appearance was semi¨Cformal, and the wind disheveled her hair slightly, giving her a S*xy vibe. Her beauty was stunning, and everyone, especially the mates of the four visiting Alphas, took interest as they had not expected to see the Alpha King¡¯s daughter here with her seven brothers. It was not yet time for everyone to wee her, as Alpha Nick had not finished admiring her. ¡°She.¡± Alpha Nick ambled to her, wrapping his arm safely around her, with his head buried in the crook of her n*ck, taking in her sweet cologne scent. Sheridan closed her eyes, so many memories rushing through her mind, as she hugged him back. When she sat in the car beside Arnold, she saw Alpha Nick looking all regal, but just when she thought he wasing to open the door for her, he walked past the first car in which she sat to the fifth one. Confusion brewed in her mind when Arnold rather came to open the door for her. From the way he held her, it was evident that he missed her a lot. Alpha Nick had changed so much, and she could not deny that it warmed her heart. ¡°For a moment, I was afraid you stooped me.¡± His voice was almost teary. Life for him was only complete with her presence, and the moment he saw her, nothing else mattered. ¡°I could do that alone but not when you are promised by the Alpha King himself,¡± Sheridan responded without trying to break from his embrace. It was heartwarming to be back, and she did not feel the pain she thought her return would bring her. 1/3 +5 Alpha Nick was overjoyed, his lips pressed briefly against hers, Charlotte¡¯s heart sank. Then again, she felt it was all because of the fake arrangement of the pack not knowing that they divorced. Only a few warriors were around the pack house, so perhaps it was because of the guests. A few people such as Charlotte and Alpha Seiko were upset for different reasons. Alpha Seiko thought that Alpha Nick was cheating on his mate, but Charlotte was upset because Alpha Nick never hugged her properly, and now, he was shamelessly k*ssing She, even if it was just brief. At the thought, she was not as calm as she wanted to be. Arnold was more interested in touring the Dark Moon Pack since Alpha Nick seemed to be genuinely in love with Sheridan. That was a great relief. ¡°Alpha Nick, permit me and my brothers to take a look around your pack. I hope you don¡¯t mind taking us around.¡± They were staying for just a day, not seeing anything wrong with their request being met. All they wanted was to show that Sheridan had her family¡¯s support. The noise already attracted pack members, as they excitedly began to approach the pack house, but Alpha Nick was not in the mood for any introducions.. She would only address them tomorrow, but as for tonight, there was just too much in store for her. ¡°No, I don¡¯t, but we should all eat first. Thank you for bringing her, Alpha Arnold.¡± Alpha Nick was genuinely grateful, his joy knowing no bounds. ¡°I did not have a choice,¡± Arnold shrugged. For as long as the Alpha King approved it, Sheridan had to leave as promised. Alpha Nick wanted to ask about Daisy but knew this was not the right time to do so. Sheridan¡¯s eyes met with that of Athena, and she lowered it with guilt before sauntering towards her. The middle¨Caged woman met her halfway, embracing her affectionately. Sheridan¡¯s brothers were already acquainting themselves with the other visiting Alphas and their mates. ¡°Ma¡¯am, I¡¯m very sorry for not keeping my promise,¡± Sheridan apologized, Athena pinched her cheek yfully. ¡°I never med you, but where is the ne?¡± Her expression was stern, saying, ¡°you promised to always wear it.¡± Athena was still wearing her emerald bracelet, making She guiltier. ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, but I saw the pictures, so I hid it, but it should be in my jewelry box.¡± The day she discovered Alpha Nick¡¯s picture in the pendant, she felt betrayed but was not regretting putting it away. 2/3 Chapter 98ing N?velDrama.Org owns this text. ¡°Alright, we shall bring your things,¡± As said as he and his brothers began to offload Sheridan and Goldie¡¯s luggage. +5 Dustin was happy that things were picking up fast between Alpha Nick and She, saying to Goldie with a smile. ¡°I¡¯m Dustin, the beta of this pack, and you are?¡± Dustin got the chance to get acquainted with his mate, but his name rang a bell. Goldie recalled that Beta Dustin had been mean to Sheridan. As such, she wanted to reject him. ¡°I¡¯m Goldie¡­¡± A feminine hand pressed over her lips before the wordse out. Sheridan already guessed that Goldie would indeed reject his second chance mate if she was not there to stop her. Speak some sense into Goldie so at the mention of Beta Dustin¡¯s name and quickly ran from where she stood with Athena covering her mouth with her palm. ¡°Must you go around rejecting all your mates?¡± Sheridan rebuked Goldie but Goldie wanted to exin her reasons, having forgotten that Sheridan already knew about it. At that instant, Goldie¡¯s eyesnded on Tom, just as Sheridan¡¯s eyesnded on Alpha Ansaldo and Bree. 3/3 Chapter 99 Chapter 99 Tom felt a strange sadness at the sight of Goldie. He had no idea that she was a cousin to the Alpha King¡¯s daughter. Shame covered his eyes, but it was toote. Dustin was now Goldie¡¯s second chance mate. Goldie¡¯s eyes did not linger on him for long before moving to Charlotte. The two recognized each other, and Charlotte was embarrassed, lowering her gaze. ¡°She will tell on us. I should have listened to you,¡± she mumbled, only for Tom to hear. They were isted from the rest, and she now regretted not taking Tom¡¯s advice to elope earlier. If the truth was revealed, then all hell was going to break loose. Tom could not offer any words offort, equally afraid because of Goldie¡¯s presence. She had seen them on that day. the Dustin¡¯s arms wrapped around Goldie¡¯s waist, and she felt the bond deepen. ¡°We need to talk, but for now, I need to speak to She,¡± Dustin said, regret resonating in his voice. Goldie nodded, so he moved away from her to where She stood. Bree had no idea why She and Alpha Ansaldo stared at each other that way but felt it was because Alpha Ansaldo stood beside her. ¡°Please excuse me. I need to apologize to She. I was mean to her before.¡± When Bree reached Sheridan, thetter hugged her. Bree had tears in her eyes as she hugged Sheridan back. ¡°You don¡¯t hate me? I¡¯ve been thinking of a thousand ways to apologize to you, fearing that you won¡¯t forgive me.¡± Sheridan smiled and patted her back, hugging her tighter. Only the goddess knew how much she longed to hug Bree like this when she lived in the pack. The girl was rather mean to her, and she endured it all. ¡°It wasn¡¯t your fault. You did what you had to do to protect your brother.¡± Satisfied with Sheridan¡¯s words, Bree pulled away and asked seriously, ¡°you are not leaving again, are you? And I found my mate today. We haven¡¯t marked each other yet.¡± From the way Sheridan easily forgave, it was understandable why Alpha Nick went berserk in search of her. Bree wanted her to know everything about her life. Sheridan was amazed to hear that Alpha Ansaldo and Bree were mates but was happy for them. As for spiking hers and Alpha Nick¡¯s drinks, she never intended on letting anyone know. If that had not happened, then how would she have had Daisy? ¡°Never. She¡¯s not leaving again,¡± Alpha Nick answered on Sheridan¡¯s behalf. She felt different. This was the same man who was eager to get her out of the pack before, and now, he did not want her to leave. ¡°She, I was not¡­¡± Dustin did not finish his words when Sheridan cut him off. ¡°It¡¯s alright, Dustin. If I held grudges, I would have be ugly by now. Letting go is food for the heart and soul. I¡¯m just happy for us to be family.¡± Dustin shook his head in remorse. He should have known sooner that Sheridan was an extraordinary and kind woman. Since she said she had forgiven him, she had forgiven. ¡°Thank you.¡± No one had eaten, and those from a long journey plus the guests were all hungry, Alpha Nick thought that everyb*dy should have their fill before the drama begins, especially those from a long journey. ¡°Let¡¯s all eat first. There will be time for more introductions.¡± Everyone moved towards the dining room, but seeing the pack members who had already gathered in front of the pack house, Sheridan could not ignore them. One of those people was Anita. 1/3 ¡°Let me just say hi to them,¡± Sheridan said to Alpha Nick. He escorted her, not wanting to leave her side for even a second. ¡°Luna She, are you leaving again?¡± Anita threw herself into Sheridan¡¯s arms and asked. Sheridan hugged her back and responded, ¡°No. I¡¯m here to stay.¡± Anita was happy but then she could not help asking. ¡°What about the Alpha¡¯s mate? Are we going to have two Lunas?¡± Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. +5 Alpha Nick did not want his ns ruined, answering in ce of Sheridan. ¡°Anie, don¡¯t get ahead of yourself. Go and sleep. Tomorrow, I will exin everything.¡± Annie nodded her head and hugged Sheridan again. She greeted the other pack members who were all bewildered as one of them asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you ever mention that you were the Alpha King¡¯s daughter?¡± Sheridan was speechless with the questions being thrown at her, but Alpha Nick took over once again. ¡°Reserve all your questions for tomorrow,¡± he said, sauntering away with Sheridan. Dustin was already entertaining everyone when Sheridan and Alpha Nick returned. Their chairs were reserved, and She sat right beside Alpha Nick. Tedmond could not hold it in and finally said, ¡°I honestly feel ashamed, She.¡± Sheridan did not want to ruin Alpha Nick¡¯s revenge n and quickly cut him off. ¡°Dad, it¡¯s alright. Let¡¯s forget about the past. Also, I would like everyone to address me by my real name. It¡¯s Sheridan, but everyone calls me Sherry.¡± Tedmond was ddened by Sheridan¡¯s kind heart. If not, things would not be easy for Alpha Nick. ¡°I like Sherry better,¡± Athena said. Sheridan smiled and responded, ¡°thank you.¡± The appetizers were being served, and Alpha Nick fed some to Sheridan. She nodded her head satisfactorily to the taste before Alpha Nick also had a taste. Alpha Knight, who had kept to himself and his Luna, was tempted to tease Alpha Nick. ¡°So Alpha Nick, I figured you moved straight to the yellow car when your Luna was in the first car. Why was that?¡± Alpha Knight jokingly asked, and his Luna was equally interested. ¡°Yes, I wanted to ask but didn¡¯t get a chance,¡± Alpha Lobo added his voice. With all the guns pointed at him, Alpha Nick had no choice but to exin. ¡°The truth is, during our time of separation, she was always driving a yellow car, so I assumed she loved yellow cars. Can you me me? There was one yellow Bugatti among eight.¡± Sheridan was d Alpha Knight asked the question, as she also got the understanding of why Alpha Nick did that.. ¡°You got your calctions wrong. Goldie is the lover of yellow. Can¡¯t you see her yellow handbag and shoe? There¡¯s always something yellow about her,¡± Sheridan exined. Alpha Nick was slightly embarrassed to have mistaken Goldie¡¯s favorite color for that of Sheridan. ¡°Since you are here now, I won¡¯t ask the things you like. Trust me, I will figure them out myself, and for now, I will make your food choices for you.¡± Everyone watched in amazement as Alpha Nick filled Sheridan¡¯s te with tuna sd and grilled chicken. He was not done and filled her ss with red wine. 2/3 3/3 Sheridan was touched, and so were her brothers and Goldie. ¡°I see you aren¡¯t as aloof as I thought. You at least know her favorites,¡± Goldie apuded, and everyoneughed except for two people and Alpha Ansaldo, who was a little tensed up. +5 ¡°I will learn more about her to be able to take better care of her in the future. You guys need not worry. I might even learn to cook her favorite meals myself,¡± Alpha Nick said with determination, wanting Sheridan all to himself. However, Sheridan was enjoying all his promises, but thest part was slightly farfetched for her. ¡°From your busy schedule, I would love to see you doing all that.¡± Alpha Nick stared into her eyes and said, ¡°You have no idea of the ns I have for you. Your brothers would not have to look out for you anymore.¡± Sheridan giggled, and Charlotte could not even force a smile. Alpha Seiko was not liking this. He quickly asked, ¡°Alpha Nick. I¡¯m quite concerned. Why do you treat your mate like nothing and all over your ex¨C wife?¡± É« SEND GIFT ? COMMENT Chapter 100 Chapter 100 The dining room quieted down as everyone eagerly awaited Alpha Nick¡¯s response, which turned out to be far from what was expected. ¡°Isn¡¯t it obvious that Sherry is who the pack needs?¡± He asked rhetorically, causing Alpha Seiko to frown. He couldn¡¯t believe the wordsing out of Alpha Nick¡¯s mouth and asked seriously, ¡°Are you suggesting that the moon goddess made a mistake in pairing you both? The Moon goddess never makes mistakes, and my mate is proof of it.¡± Alpha Nick couldn¡¯t reveal everything immediately. Right now, he just wanted Charlotte to feel the pain Sheridan felt when she returned. Emotional torture was more painful than any physical torture. ¡°I would say that sometimes, our selfish dual nature causes a lot of problems for us.¡± Alpha Nick k*ssed Sheridan¡¯s hair, gently moving strands of it from her face to behind her ears. Sheridan smiled sweetly each time, and he would return it. Recalling the way Charlotte had sent thugs to kill her before, this was even better revenge, especially after Charlotte had said to her face that Alpha Nick would never love her. Sheridan had loved Charlotte when they were best friends, but everything went downhill because of envy. Well, more envy awaited her. ¡°Alpha Nick, you are not making sense. What exactly are you talking about?¡± Alpha Seiko couldn¡¯t stand Alpha Nick and Sheridan¡¯s affectionate disy, seeing it as an insult to the moon goddess. Tom and Charlotte lowered their heads, afraid that Goldie would say something. They should have silenced her then and there, but she left before the thought crossed their minds. ¡°You should all eat and enjoy your meal. Tomorrow, I will make an important announcement during training,¡± Alpha Nick smiled and said. His mood was so good that not even the sight of his enemies upset him anymore. ¡°Charlotte, aren¡¯t you concerned?¡± Alpha Seiko asked Charlotte, forcing her to lift her head just as Alpha Nick fed Sheridan a with his mouth. The two giggled soon after, lost in their own world. carrot Tears stung the corner of Charlotte¡¯s eyes as she thought of a way to poison Sheridan since her previous attempts had failed. Forcing a smile, she replied, ¡°Don¡¯t think too much about it. Sheridan was there when I was kidnapped, so the pack members got used to her. When she left, Alpha Nick promised the pack members that she would be visiting from time to time. There is nothing serious about it. What they have is an extension of the contract after the divorce.¡± Charlotte convinced herself that was the case, but to everyone present, she just exposed her stupidity. It was clear that Alpha Nick was in love with Sheridan, and here she was spouting nonsense. ¡°Should that warrant all her brothersing with her?¡± Alpha Seiko asked thoughtfully, not believing that nonsense. The scene caused him to lose his appetite vehemently, but everyone else, aware of everything, kept a smile on their faces and ate heartily. ¡°Alpha Seiko, I really don¡¯t know what you want me to say.¡± Charlotte gave up. She couldn¡¯t believe that Alpha Nick chose Sheridan over her, his mate, just because she was not as strong as Sheridan. Then again, she felt that he was just pretending. The moment they left the dining table, everything would be over. Alpha Nick¡¯s attention was solely on the woman by his side. Tom and Charlotte had a secret affair, but he was going to have his rtionship with Sheridan public. 1/3 ¡°Sherry, have you had enough? Would you like some hash browns? They taste delicious.¡± He picked up one of the hash browns and took a bite, moaning at the taste. Sheridan was tempted. ¡°I will try it if you say so, but I¡¯m really tired and would love some rest.¡± It had been a long journey, coupled with the fact that she had spent the whole night watching Daisy sleep. This was the first time she was separated from her daughter, but it was for the best. No one must know about them until Charlotte and Tom were dealt with. ¡°Please excuse us,¡± Alpha Nick quickly said, ready to honor Sheridan¡¯s request. If she wanted to sleep, then that was exactly what she must get. He stood up, extending his hand to Sheridan. She grabbed it, stood up, and walked hand in hand with him. He would whisper something into her ear, her face would flush, and she would giggle like a kid. Everyone watched as they climbed the stairs, and Charlotte waited for Alpha Nick to take Sheridan to the Luna¡¯s chamber. To her amazement, he was opening the door to the Alpha¡¯s chamber, and that was all Charlotte could take. ¡°Nick. Why are you taking her to your room? That was not the arrangement.¡± She was still his mate and would not allow another woman in his room. Alpha Nick never liked any one touching his things and Charlotte remembered what happened when she nned a surprise and slept on his bed. It was as if her skin was covered in leprosy by the way Alpha Nick chased her out and had it cleaned. Alpha Nick scoffed, ring at her like a piece of trash. ¡°Did I discuss any arrangement concerning her return with you?¡± Charlotte paled and quickly wiped away a tear that had betrayed her by falling down her cheek. Her mate was hurting her so badly. The next thing they heard was Sheridan¡¯s moan when Alpha Nick k*ssed her passionately. Their tongues danced together as they battled for dominance. It was something they both could not resist, but it was still part of the n. The only difference was that they were overdoing it. His door was intentionally left ajar so everyone could hear the sound. Charlotte, unable to take it, quickly ran up the stairs. She couldn¡¯t believe that someone like Alpha Nick, who cherished his dignity so much, was giving it all away for Sheridan. Fresh tears fell down her cheeks, and the more she wiped them, the faster they were reced. Alpha Nick was indeed k*ssing Sheridan like he would never stop. He had never k*ssed Charlotte, his mate before but was k*ssing his ex¨Ccontract, Luna. Something woke up in Charlotte. Her cursed wolf. ¡°Nick, what do you think you are doing?¡± She raged. Alpha Nick reluctantly broke from the k*ss and apologized to Sheridan. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I would make it up to you tonight.¡± Then he turned to Charlotte, who stood in the doorway, and asked, ¡°What does it look like I¡¯m doing? I¡¯m going to make love to my wife.¡± He shut the door in her face. ¡°To make love to Sheridan? They weren¡¯t even mates.¡¯ Charlotte was furious and ran down the stairs, running out of the pack house to the frontage, where she pressed the rm bells. The pack sirens went off, awakening everyone. The pack siren was only used when there was an attack, but once the pack members realized there was no such threat, they automatically ran to the pack house. Perhaps there was important information. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Thousands of people arrived at the pack house, and to their disappointment, it was Charlotte who had called. ¡°Are you crazy? Don¡¯t you know that we have to sleep?¡± One of the warriors rebuked, angercing his tone. Charlotte might be the Alpha¡¯s mate, but she never earned their respect. This time, her cursed wolf gave her boldness, and she was suddenly not afraid to reveal it. 2/3 ¡°Your Alpha has done something terrible.¡± Her voice was tinged with pain. ¡°What is the offense?¡± Another warrior asked in annoyance as she began to exin it to them. ¡°You all know that he is my mate, but he is cheating on me.¡± Her voice was now teary, and she gave up trying to wipe the tears from her face. The pack members shook their heads, not believing her words. ¡°Alpha Nick would never do that.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t you go in and ask him? As his mate, I permit you,¡± Charlotte said seriously. The crowd was about to rush into the pack house when a deep, cold voice sounded. ¡°No need. I¡¯m already here.¡± All those in the pack house equally followed to listen to the matter of concern. ¡°Alpha, is what she is saying true? Are you cheating on her?¡± One of the pack members, an elderly man, asked seriously. SEND GIFT COMMENT 0 Chapter 101 Chapter 101 Alpha Nick was still passionately kicking Sheridan when the pack siren went off. He paused and chuckled. ¡°She¡¯s bold, don¡¯t you think?¡± He didn¡¯t need to be told that Charlotte was the one who summoned the pack members. Sheridan smiled knowingly and teased him affectionately. ¡°She has a case against you, so what are you going to do about it? Mind you, if you don¡¯t handle it well, you might not get to know how I taste,¡± she winked. Alpha Nick¡¯s gaze darkened dangerously. He had impregnated Sheridan, had a daughter through her, but did not even know how S*x or Sheridan tasted. He had to prove himself worthy, and now that he had the woman he loved by his side, nothing could stop him. ¡°I think it¡¯s time to put the bird in its cage. She has been let loose for too long.¡± ¡°I think I agree,¡± Sheridan said, just as Alpha Nick covered her lips with his again. Her whole b*dy responded to him, a moan escaped her, at the same time her hand pressed against the back of his head to deepen the k*ss. If they had their way, they would have just ignored the rm to continue ring. Charlotte was not worth their time. Sheridan was skeptical about her return, but after taking the risk, she was beginning to love her decision. However, she still felt it was too early to decide on whether or not she was right toe back. ¡°Do you not care about the pack siren?¡± Alpha Seiko yelled from downstairs, confused by the happenings around him. Alpha Nick chuckled, unperturbed by Alpha Seiko¡¯s worry. The sound of the pack siren was indeed annoying, the perfect reason for one to jump out of bed at the sound of it. Strangely, both Alpha Nick and Sheridan were unperturbed about it for the first time. ¡°Rx, Alpha Seiko. I think you should alle out and see.¡± He dragged Sheridan along with him as they made their way to the entrance of the pack house, but Sheridan recoiled to the back somehow. At the entrance, Alpha Nick saw the angry pack members about to dash in when he said coldly, ¡°No need. I¡¯m already here.¡± All those in the pack house equally followed to listen to the matter of concern. ¡°Alpha, is what she is saying true? Are you cheating on her?¡± One of the pack members, an elder, asked. ¡°What if say yes?¡± Alpha Nick spoke calmly, disappointment registered on the faces of the people present as the elderly man spoke once again. ¡°Alpha, that is unlike you.¡± U39% 20:23 Alpha Nick smiled and pulled Sheridan to his side. Why should she be hiding when Charlotte had offended them both? At the sight of Sheridan, the pack members who were unaware of her arrival were marveled. ¡°Luna She.¡± Excitementced their voices to Charlotte¡¯s dismay. Aside from strength, what did Sheridan have that she didn¡¯t to garner so much attention? The pack members were not even annoyed by the cutting short of their sleep anymore. Alpha Nick decided to put things into perspective. ¡°Then I would like to tell you a story. Once upon a time, I found my mate. Beautiful and innocent, or so I thought, but she would neither allow me to mark her nor mate with her until we got married the human way.¡± All eyes turned to Charlotte as this was unheard of. Mates would want to mark and mate with each other as soon as they felt the bond, so what gave her the courage to deny her mate, An Alpha for that matter? Alpha Nick continued to speak nheless, seeming unbothered by the change in their reaction. ¡°I agreed to everything she said, but on the day of the wedding, she disappeared.¡± He paused and corrected himself with sarcasm. ¡°Actually, she eloped with another man.¡¯ >¡± Charlotte was shivering, and Tom felt his knees weaken. How could Charlotte be so stupid to gather the pack members? It would have been easier if it was just the people in the pack house. ¡°That is not true. I was kidnapped. I have proof.¡± Charlotte quickly denied it. The cold breeze suddenly felt like hot air. She walked towards Alpha Nick, about to plead with him to stop by trying to tug on his sleeve. That used to work before, but this time, Sheridan saw it and pulled Alpha Nick away from her. ¡°Don¡¯t let her touch you or you know what would happen,¡± she said in a possessive tone. Alpha smiled at her. His heart warmed greatly, and he cupped her cheek in the palm of his hands. ¡°I was afraid she was going to touch you with her gem¨Cinfested fingers, but look at you rather protecting me. Now I feel like you became the Alpha instead of Luna.¡± He leaned in, about to nt a k*ss on her forehead when Alpha Seiko spoke up again. The confession caught his interest since he was there on the wedding day. ¡°Alpha Nick, it¡¯s alreadyte. Please don¡¯t keep us waiting.¡± Alpha Nick¡¯s hand tightened around Sheridan¡¯s slender waist before he continued to speak. ¡°A beautiful woman saved me from the shame, proposing to marry mejor six months.¡± Guilt welled up in his eyes. They carried sadness. ¡°I agreed but never treated her right. I was a jerk because I was searching for my mate.¡± His expression turned chilly, but he refused to let go of the woman in his arms. ¡°Guess what? My mate showed up, and I sent the woman who loved me with all her heart and saved me from shame packing.¡± Those who did not know the full story began to shake their heads, already guessing that the woman was Sheridan. In public, no one knew that she went through so much. No wonder she was diminished during her time in the pack. Everyone felt guilty for not treating Sheridan better. ¡°Mom advised me against it, but I cared a lot about the mate bond that I let her go.¡± Pain shot through his voice. It weighed heavily on his heart. ¡°To cut a long story short, I met my ex¨Cwife at the g award, and truth be told, she caught my attention. My mate lied that she owned a business, which rightfully belonged to my ex¨Cwife.¡± At this moment, Charlotte could not lift up her head, but Alpha Nick continued to speak nheless. ¡°I was upset at some point with all the men around her and thought that I needed fresh air, but guess what I saw?¡± All ears perked up, including that of Charlotte, and why did Tom feel that this was not going to be good? He should have eloped from the time he began to feel strange. ¡°My mate was k*ssing a man who happened to be my best friend.¡± An ¡®O¡® sound could be heard across as all eyes pinned on Tom. How stupid had they been to not have connected the dots. Alpha Nick did not return after the g award, and his attitude towards them hadpletely changed. This time, Tom med himself, as he was the one w All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. initiated everything, thinking that Alpha Nick was too busy inside. Now he understood Alpha Nick¡¯s reason for allowing Charlotte to be beaten by Anita before equally beating him to a pulp that day. Tom¡¯s legs felt so heavy as the airs around him became increasingly ufortable. ¡°Shamelessly, they were confessing their ns to each other.¡± Alpha Nick did not stop there. Before anyone would judge him for falling in love out of the mate bond, they had to understand that the mate bond disappointed him. His mate took him for granted. His mate betrayed him¡­ DIA Chapter 102 Chapter 102 Alpha Nick was greatly embittered. Things would have been different if Charlotte had rejected him instead of disrespecting him. He lived in constant fear that she was being tortured or something bad was happening to her. He knew she was alive because of the unbroken bond, and that was the same reason why he could not move on. He could not help feeling guilty upon recalling that he had secretly even suspected Sheridan of being behind Charlotte¡¯s disappearance due to how timely she showed up at his wedding. Every time he saw her, he felt guilty that his mate was suffering somewhere, while another woman enjoyed the safety of his pack in the name of a Luna. He feared how Charlotte would feel when found only to realize that he had moved on, even if it was just a contract. Luckily, she made things easy by being understanding and only insisting that he divorces Sheridan. Alpha Nick felt utterly pained, stupid, and yed. ¡°The summary of the story is the fact that my mate returned to steal my money so she could elope again,¡± Alpha Nick announced. Everyone was upset, their anger boiling but Alpha Seiko was mad, about to say something when Charlotte¡¯s voice was heard. ¡°No. I came to stay. I just wanted to pay off Tom so you and I could be happy. I never meant to be with him again because I had fallen in love with you,¡± she confessed her n in a teary voice with moist eyes, not having a care for Tom¡¯s feelings. What mattered was for her to get Alpha Nick¡¯s pity and send Sheridan and her seven brothers away. As for Goldie, she would find ways of dealing with herter. Unfortunately, it was toote for anyone to believe her words. She had indeed fallen in love with Alpha Nick, but who could she me for her mishap? Was it the fact that she fell in love too soon or because she could not tell it to Tom in the face for the fear that he would tell on her and reveal their rtionship to Alpha Nick?. However, Tom felt betrayed to hear this. All along, he thought that Charlotte was in love with him, but it turns out she had fallen out of love, with him and was nning to discard him like the piece of shit he was along the way. ¡°Really Charlotte, was that your n?¡± Tom was heartbroken. ¡°I epted my mate¡¯s rejection because of you. 1/4 Was that the reason you could not reject Alpha Nick even when he was treating you badly?¡± Alpha Nick¡¯s gaze was dark, but with Sheridan in his arms, he was slightly calm. This meeting was not to hear them dering their love for each other but rather to prove who was wrong to have fallen in love out of the mate bond. ¡°I have not finished yet. I will continue to tell you thest part of my love story,¡± Alpha Nick added as he turned to face Sheridan. Guilt settled in his eyes as he felt inferior to stand by her side and to even be opportune to hold her. ¡°This woman beside me, I don¡¯t deserve her, but she gave me a second chance. She never found her mate, but it¡¯s toote for that. I want everyone here to know that if she finds a mate one day who is not me, I would still not let her go.¡± His voice carried seriousness, and though knowing that he was being selfish, he could not bear to concern himself about it. For once, even his wolf agreed with him that the mate bond did not matter as long as they were in love with this woman. ¡°When I began to chase her back, she ran away, but I was happy to have met her again when I went to wee my fellow Alphas at the airport yesterday. I decided to never let her go no matter what happens.¡± He bit back the tears stinging the back of his eyes, stared lovingly at her, and dered, ¡°even if she doesn¡¯t love me anymore, my love would be enough for both of us.¡± ¡°Is that the reason why you failed to keep your promise?¡± Alpha Seiko shoved him with the elbow in excitement, interrupting the romantic moment. He ruined it for Alpha Nick, as thetter was nning to steal a k*ss. ¡°You should understand the storm one has to go through if he falls in love with a woman with seven older brothers.¡± Everyb*dy laughed at the statements as they stared at the seven intimidating men. Alpha Nick recalled how they wanted to take Daisy away from him back then. The fact was, he feared Sheridan would not return to him and was using Daisy as a tool to bring her close to him, but who knew that she was still in love with him? ¡°It would have resulted in a war if the Alpha King was not present,¡± Alpha Nick concluded. Everyone laughed again, but their happy moment was soon interrupted by Charlotte¡¯s annoying voice. ¡°Nick please. I changed. Ever since my return, I fell in love with you, Please Nick, we are still mates.¡± Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. At this point in time, she could only make Tom the scapegoat since the dignity was at stake. She still had the hope that due to the mate bond, she stood a greater chance than Sheridan. Every time, she lost to Sheridan and only won when it involved Alpha Nick. As such, she could not believe that even without a bond, Sheridan would seed in having her man. It was uneptable. Alpha Nickughed mockingly. ¡°Really Charlotte? If you had just offended me, I might as well have allowed you to walk away after rejecting me, but what have you been doing?¡± Alpha Nick¡¯s voice was so calm that no one guessed what wasing was even worse. ¡°Nick, I¡¯ve been training hard to impress you,¡± Charlotte pleaded with tears streaming down her cheeks. Alpha Nick used to believe her every word, so why should things be different at the time when she needed him the most? ¡°Cut the bullshit. Did you really think I was concerned about your strength?¡± Alpha Nick could not believe how dumb she was to have not seen the red light. ¡°I was ready to ept you as you are and find a responsibility suitable for you. I thought that for as long as the moon goddess paired us together, your happiness should be my priority, no matter your weakness, but you were f**king my best friend.¡± Disgust and painced Alpha Nick¡¯s voice because the bond was still not broken. Charlotte was lost for words, and the only thing she could say was, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± However, it provoked Alpha Nick even further. ¡°Sorry? I sent Sheridan away because you were not comfortable with her presence, and the only way to pay me back was to throw an insult to my pack.¡± Charlotte might be dumb, but not too dumb to realize that things had taken a different turn. ¡°What are you saying?¡± Alpha Nick was not ready to mention thatst part yet, as that would cause a riot among the pack members. ¡°Charlotte, have ve you thought about why I did not reject you even after finding out about all that I knew?¡± Alpha Nick¡¯s voice was cold, but there was still calmness behind it. Charlotte felt hope smiling on her. ¡°No.¡± But Alpha Nick¡¯s response was totally unexpected; she could feel her evil wolf gearing up to cause trouble. That would also cause her another problem if it was discovered. ¡°That¡¯s because I wanted you to suffer.¡± There was a smirk at the corner of Alpha Nick¡¯s lips, causing Charlotte to burn from the pain in his words. ¡°The same way you made me suffer whilst I waited for you. You were in the arms of another man, and died because of you. I tormented Sheridan because of you when all she did was take care of the pack for me.¡± Sheridan directed the love she felt for Alpha Nick to his pack, but even with that, she was met with ingratitude and disdain because she was not the Alpha¡¯s mate. ¡°Do you now understand how painful it is to keep loving someone when the person is in love with another? Charlotte, I do not have a problem that you fell in love with Tom. You could have talked it with me and rejected 1. me. I would have epted it.¡± Charlotte¡¯s gaze lowered. She knew he would have epted it but was not willing to let him go. She was greedy, happy to have her mate and someb*dy else¡¯s wrapped around her fingers, ¡°However, you tried to be smart. You kept the bond alive and eloped so I would be trapped with you and not be able to move on. You seeded, so for the time I tormented you, I was equally waiting for Sheridan to return to me, just as I did for you.¡± This time, his words hit Charlotte hard, as she realized that upon all that she went through, Alpha Nick was only using it to wait for Sheridan, who was not his mate. ¡°You weren¡¯t fair to me. You made me sleep in the omega¡¯s chamber and allowed the pack members to abuse me,¡± she yelled. No one realized when Alpha Nick¡¯s hand moved away from Sheridan, hitting Charlotte across the face, she fell instantly. His expression was stone¨Ccold. ¡°Don¡¯t ever use that tone on me again. I, Alpha Nick Thorax, reject you, Charlotte Next, as my destined mate.¡± SEND GIFT Chapter 103 Chapter 103 Charlotte was losing her mind, being at the receiving end. She could already feel the bond shaking, and her eptance wouldpletely break it. Never in her life did she think of this day when she would lose her destined mate. It was uncalled for. Mistakes should be forgiven, and second chances granted. Was that not the reason why the moon goddess gave second¨Cchance mates? For as long as they agreed to work it out, things would be fine between them. ¡°No. I won¡¯t ept it. I won¡¯t let you go. Not everything you said is true. I didn¡¯t cheat on you,¡± Charlotte lied, refusing to ept the rejection. Without the lie, nob*dy would stand with her, so all she had to do was make the lie believable. Alpha Nick¡¯s gaze darkened dangerously, even Sheridan feared as she moved away from him. Alpha Nick squatted on the floor facing Charlotte, but he was speaking to the pack members. There were two ways to break the bond. It was either rejection or death. If one way refused to work, the other had to be effective. Sheridan was not disturbed about the change of events, knowing that Alpha Nick would take care of it. Alpha Nick chuckled mockingly as Charlotte crawled slightly away from him. The p had rendered her left ear useless, as she could not hear with it anymore. Alpha Nick did not take it kindly, and neither was he gentle with her. Rising to his feet and turning to face the pack members, he revealed nonchntly, ¡°I forgot to add that they continued f**king each other in the woods. Right here, in this pack. Ray, do you have the video?¡± At this time, the pack members were aggravated. Charlotte was the one cheating, and yet she had the guts to call them all to use their Alpha. Not only that, she even defiled their pack by doing it in their sacred ce, which was in the woods. Both Tom and Charlotte knew that all hopes were not lost for them. ¡°Yes, Alpha,¡± the pack member who called Alpha Nick on that day quickly answered. ¡°Let it go viral, and Amell, Alpha Nick called out to the chief warrior who spied on Charlotte during the g awards night. ¡°Yes, Alpha,¡± the head warrior responded with all attention on what the Alpha was going to instruct him to do. +5 ¡°Do you still have that video?¡± Alpha Nick asked, recalling how the head warrior had called him out toe and see for himself. It should have been recorded even without his instruction for it to be done. ¡°Yes, Alpha,¡± Amell agreed, adding, ¡°I will send it viral.¡± Alpha Nick red at the woman on the floor, saying, ¡°Charlotte, prove to me that everything I have said is wrong. Deny it again if you dare.¡± Charlotte sat on the floor, afraid of angering him any further since her left ear was still numb. No wonder Alpha Nick was so feared. His punch was like that of three Alphasbined. Before Charlotte opened her mouth, someb*dy else beat her to it. ¡°It¡¯s true,¡± Goldie said out of the blue, gaining everyone cat, including that of Alpha Nick. She wanted to tell this secretly to her mate, but from the look of things, it was better for her to say it now. ¡°That night at the g awards, I was pulled by the mate bond, but reaching there, my so¨Ccalled Destined mate was finger¨Cf**king my cousin¡¯s ex¨Chusband¡¯s mate, so I rejected him. I am a witness to all that Alpha Nick said about the g awards night.¡± Disgusty on the faces of the people present, and the pack members only waited for the Alpha to make the final deration of handing Charlotte and Tom over to them. Alpha Nick only had to deal with the rejection part, but for defiling their pack because of insatiable pleasure, the pack members had to take matters into their own hands. Alpha Seiko was shocked to hear this, and he began to wonder how Alpha Nick was able to remain calm in the midst of this storm. ¡°Alpha Nick, why endure so much? You should have killed her,¡± Alpha Seiko raged. ¡°Why did you continue to feed and give her shelter? You are too kind. Are you even the Alpha Nick Thorax I knew?¡± At first, he was the one thinking that Alpha Nick was not being fair with his mate, but after all this revtion, he was pained that Alpha Nick tolerated so much. If he had known before now, he would have even shown Alpha Nick more taunting things to do to the two cheaters. The videos began dropping on their phones, and that was when the pack members began to rage. ¡°Alpha, theymitted an abomination. They have to be stoned.¡± The voices echoed together in unison, and Charlotte felt like her other ear would equally grow dumb because of the noise. ¡°That is your right. I won¡¯t take it from you,¡± he shrugged before turning to Charlotte. ¡°Charlotte, ept my rejection now. If you don¡¯t, death is another way to break it. It¡¯s not far from you.¡± Tom was already dragged out like amon thief, and some of the pack members went to find stones and began to stone him wherever it would hit to make his death faster. +5 When Charlotte saw this, she shivered from fright. ¡°No. I would never ept your rejection. I love you.¡± Her voice was meek, but Alpha Nick¡¯s gaze darkened dangerously. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. What did she mean by love? Was it love to hurt the person you imed to love? It was obvious that she was just being greedy and jealous of the fact that she was going to be reced by Sheridan in Alpha Nick¡¯s heart. Unknown to her, she had been reced a long time ago even without a bond. ¡°Pack, she¡¯s in your hands. Deal with her first so the bond can be broken.¡± Charlotte froze at Alpha Nick¡¯smand. He really gave up on her, condemning her to die terribly. Charlotte was soon dragged out to the middle of the pack. Tom was dragged beside her, but only she had the pack members¡® attention for now. Wherever the stone hit, it was so painful, her wolf retreated, leaving her to endure the pain alone. Charlotte could not take it anymore as her face was already red and turning bloody. ¡°Wait, I want to ept his rejection,¡± she forced out, causing them to halt their actions. Everyb*dy waited as she said the words as if it was the most painful words she ever uttered in her life. ¡°I, Charlotte Next, ept Alpha Nick Thorax¡¯s rejection.¡± Pain tore through both her and Alpha Nick¡¯s heart, but Alpha Nick felt that it was the most beautiful pain ever. The beauty of letting go of negative energy. Letting go of all the toxins in his life. Turning to Sheridan with delight in his eyes, one word left both their lips. Sheridan, ¡°mate.¡± Alpha Nick, ¡°MINE.¡± 212 Chapter 104 Chapter 104 A shocking event caused a glow to envelop the pair under the full moon. Looking up, they realized the moon was indeed full. Alpha Nick¡¯s eyes brimmed with tears as he embraced Sheridan. His wolf, soul, heart, and body were all in harmony and at peace. ¡°I¡¯m so sorry. If I had known my second chance mate was within reach, I would have rejected her sooner.¡± Alpha Nick felt that all the time spent seeking revenge was wasted now that he had Sheridan in his arms. He had missed over a year of seeing her pregnancy progress and giving birth to their child. Sheridan couldn¡¯t hold back her tears, her heart heavy with regret. Alpha Nick had promised to reject Charlotte if she returned, but she had been too scared and chose to run away instead. ¡°It was all my fault. I shouldn¡¯t have left. We would have known sooner, but that¡¯s why I could never hate you, no matter how hard I tried,¡± she said with a tearful smile, causing Alpha Nick¡¯s heart to dance with joy. How was it possible for them to fall in love without the mate bond? It seemed to be one of those rare circumstances where a werewolf had two mates. If Alpha Nick had met Sheridan first when she turned eighteen, he wouldn¡¯t have felt the bond for Charlotte. He had met Charlotte first and couldn¡¯t feel the bond towards Sheridan. Looking up, Sheridan realized that she was in love with someone else¡¯s mate. Alpha Nick was also her destined mate., He was simply favored to bond with whichever of the two mates he encountered first at the age of eighteen. ¡°It¡¯s the full moon, Sherry. I¡¯m d it¡¯s you, and even though I don¡¯t deserve you, I¡¯m so happy,¡± Alpha Nick said, gazing at the full moon with everyone present. It was a magical moment, and Sheridan¡¯s brothers texted their parents the good news. Tacar response was immediate. ¡°Are you serious? You guys aren¡¯t sleeping yet? Can I speak ¡°No, tomorrow,¡± Arnold texted back before switching off his phone. Alpha Nick and Sheridan were still lost in the magical moment. ¡°I¡¯m d you didn¡¯t give up on me,¡± Sheridan said, causing Alpha Nick to stare at her, wondering if she truly understood what he meant. ¡°I never considered giving up on you. I never have and never will. You¡¯re worth the chase, and I¡¯d do it all over again. I¡¯d go crazy, all for you.¡± Under the moonlight, their lips met in a passionate kiss, tears of joy flowing as onlookers wiped their eyes, Tom, who had started to heal during the pause in events with the pack members¡® attention on Alpha Nick and Sheridan, was filled with regret. If only he had waited for his mate, his life/would have been better, and he wouldn¡¯t have lost everything. In hindsight, it was clear that Alpha Nick was the one who had destroyed his business. The timing of the business¡¯s destruction coincided with how long Alpha Nick had known about him and Charlotte. Charlotte felt the pain of losing everything more deeply than the breaking of the bond. She couldn¡¯t understand how she had lost everything so quickly. 1/3 +5 Once upon a time, she had two men vying for her affection. One was her mate, and the other was her lover. It was particrly painful that the woman who took everything from her was the same one she always lost to. Why did it have to be She of all people? While everyone else was happy, Tom was filled with regret, and Charlotte was in pain. The full moon made her increasingly ufortable as she considered ways to escape the deathly res directed at her. ¡°Let me out if you want to live,¡± her wolf weakly urged. Females never had ck wolves. Only Alphas did. In Charlotte¡¯s case, her wolf, Charcoal, being ck wasn¡¯t a sign of strength but rather a curse. Charcoal, not now. You¡¯ll only make things worse,¡± Charlotte pleaded. When she first met her wolf, it wasn¡¯t ck but white and incredibly powerful. However, her greed prevented her from getting marked, leading her to mate with an unknown man under the influence of an aphrodisiac drug right after mating with Tom. If all this had happened before meeting her destined mate, it wouldn¡¯t have mattered, but it all urred afterward. That¡¯s why Charlotte found herself in such a messy situation. Her wolf retreated, and when she shifted again, it was no longer the innocent white wolf but a malevolent ck one. Tears couldn¡¯t wash away the pain of losing everything. Left with no choice, she allowed her wolf to take over, seeing it as the only way to save herself from being stoned to death. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Unbeknownst to everyone, Charlotte had healed from the physical torment during the short take rejection. Before their attention returned to her, everything went dark. given to her to ept the Even the moon disappeared in the pitch¨Cck atmosphere. The sky turned as dark as charcoal, and the moon¡¯s light vanished. ·Ç ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡± Panic spread among the crowd. Within three seconds, the moonlight and all the pack¡¯s lights came back 1. on. ¡°What just happened?¡± Goldie¡¯s voice rang out as everyone looked around nervously. Nothing like this had ever urred before. ¡°Charlotte and Tom have escaped!¡± the head warrior bellowed. Alpha Nick paid no attention, as he was more concerned about someone dear to him. It felt as though she had been snatched from his arms when everything went dark. ¡°Sherry, where are you?¡± Fear gripped his heart as he scanned the area. Despite thete hour, there were many people around, and the pack members were equally distressed, their voices filled with panic. ¡°Luna? Where¡¯s our Luna?¡± The pack members¡® panicked voices echoed as they searched nervously, but Sheridan¡¯s brothers were even more anxious. ¡°Let¡¯s spread out and search the pack,¡± Beta Dustin suggested, but just as everyone was about to disperse, Alpha Nick shook his head. ¡°No. His eyes darted around, realizing he hadn¡¯t seen another woman. ¡°Mom isn¡¯t here. I¡¯ll check her room.¡± Only Alpha Nick knew that his mother possessed some kind of good luck charm that allowed her to vanish amidst chaos. The only person Athena would care to protect was Sheridan. 2/3 Chapter 105 Chapter 105 +5) ¡°Mom, did you want me to have a heart attack?¡± Alpha Nick asked after pushing the door open without knocking. He was worried sick about Sheridan leaving him again in any way when his mother was the one who snatched her from his arms. It felt like he had run a marathon in search of her. Athena, who was calmly reading a book, was annoyed by the intrusion, unfazed by any worry in Alpha Nick¡¯s tone. ¡°Rx. She¡¯s sleeping.¡± Alpha Nick sauntered over to the woman on the bed, sleeping peacefully as if she had no care about the ongoings in and around the pack. That was unlike Sheridan, and the fact that she was snatched from his arms made it even more confusing. ¡°How is it possible? What did you do to her, and where is Dad?¡± He began to move strands of hair from Sheridan¡¯s face to the back of her ears, careful enough not to wake her. ¡°I have to take her to my room.¡± ¡°I did nothing to her, and your father should also be among the people we left behind. Sheridan is special, and I can¡¯t allow anything to happen to her when she¡¯s in this pack.¡± Dropping the book on the nightstand, she exined further. ¡°I used the bracelet she gave me. I exchanged the energy when I gave her the ne.¡± Alpha Nick sighed, knowing that he had to keep all that his mother was saying a secret. When he was younger, she had protected him with these powers, but he could never inherit them. As his mother would say, he was not the chosen one. Right now, his concern was not the charm but rather the woman on the bed. ¡°So why is she sleeping in the midst of chaos?¡± Athena gazed lovingly at Sheridan before she began to exin it slowly. ¡°I could not let her know that I was saving her from something dangerous. You have to find Charlotte and make sure she¡¯s dead,¡± Athena said seriously, and Alpha Nick was slightly confused. He indeed wanted to erase every trace of Charlotte, but for it to be mentioned by his mother meant there was more to Charlotte than he ever knew. ¡°I don¡¯t care about Charlotte. I will take Sheridan with me.¡± 1/4 Athena had a displeased look. ¡°You don¡¯t understand. Charlotte has a cursed wolf. She can cause you trouble, but knowing she can¡¯t defeat you, her target would be Sheridan.¡± +5 Alpha Nick took a deep breath. Never would he allow any harm toe close to Sheridan or Daisy. Then again, she had mentioned Daisy¡¯s life being in danger and the reason for her return to take Daisy into the safety of her pack. ¡°So, what do I do? Where do I find her?¡± It would not be hard for him to end Charlotte, but the problem was if he would be able to find her and her cursed wolf. ¡°Good question. You can¡¯t find her, but she will first try to find a ce to settle before she tries to take revenge.¡± Athena wasposed. It was almost as if she could see into the future. Alpha Nick did not doubt her, knowing her abilities since he was a child. The only problem he had with her before was concerning Sheridan when Athena insisted that Alpha Nick should not let her go. It seemed that Athena was always right about everything, especially when she said that Alpha Nick would regret it. ¡°How long do we have?¡± Alpha Nick was eager to end this menace called Charlotte as soon as possible, but this time, Athena did not have a specific answer for him. ¡°I don¡¯t know. It can take months, but we can protect the pack with a lot of charcoal. Her wolf is repelled by charcoal.¡± N?velDrama.Org owns this text. Alpha Nick wanted to ask about how Athena knew about Charlotte¡¯s wolf, but there was too much to handle at the moment. He hoped she hadn¡¯t gotten far so they could trap her with the charcoal before it was toote. Then again, they would have to burn a lot of trees to get enough charcoal to cover the pack since it had been peaceful without recent attacks. ¡°Thanks, Mom, take care of Sherry. I will sort this out and make sure that I mark her,¡± he said with a darkened gaze. He was so eager to mark her after Charlotte¡¯s stoning, but who knew that this was going to happen? Athena smiled knowingly. ¡°Yes. That is very important. It would make her stronger, and she would be able to defeat Charlotte.¡± Alpha Nick did not like the idea of Sheridan battling Charlotte. It was his mess, and he was determined to handle 2/4 it alone. ¡°Charlotte is my problem. I would kill her myself.¡± Athena disagreed. ¡°No. Sheridan can stand against her after you mark her. In case you don¡¯t know, the two women did not appear in your life by coincidence. Leave now. The pack needs you,¡± Athena finally said after seeing the confusion on Alpha Nick¡¯s face. +5 Alpha Nick could not let matters rest. ¡°Mom, why are you talking like this? There is a lot I need to know, and why did you hide it for so long? This isn¡¯t just about your charms, right? Howe you know so much?¡± Athena had a small smile on her face. Her sickness was the price she had to pay for what she had until she could give it to the right person. If she began to exin now, there would just be too much chaos. ¡°Your pack and her brother¡¯s need answers. Use all the help you can gather. Nick, we shall have this talk again but not now. If Sheridan wakes up now, she would insist on going with you, and you won¡¯t be able to stop her.¡± Alpha Nick did not see a problem with that. ¡°If she is up to it, it would even be better.¡± All he wanted, was his Luna by his side. ¡°No, Nick, you have to mark her first.¡± ¡°But we have a child together already,¡± Alpha Nick revealed. If the mark was to bond them, he just wanted Athena to know that they had a different bond. To his amazement, Athena¡¯s eyes lit up like that of a little girl. ¡°Why did you not tell me? Is it a girl?¡± ¡°I just found out yesterday, but how could you be so urate in your guessing?¡± Alpha Nick did not get a response but rather, his mother stood up and hugged him. ¡°Nick, if you had marked Charlotte even by ident, you would have never had Sheridan. They were both your mates from the onset. I want to see my grandchild.¡± No one knew that Athena being weak all the time was because of her wolf. It had special powers Athena could never enjoy. Only her grandchild would be able to do so. ¡°Mom. Let¡¯s talk about it tomorrow. I have to go now.¡± As soon as his hands touched the doorknob, that voice, that warmed his heart so much was heard. ¡°Nick, where are you going?¡± Sheridan sat on the bed with a confused expression, massaging her temple from a terrible headache. 3/4 Chapter 106 Chapter 106 The door closed abruptly, and it was as if Alpha Nick was never there. Sheridan blinked her eyes, a confused look on her face. ¡°I saw Nick. I was not hallucinating, right?¡± She looked around, everything seeming strange. Then her gazended on Athena. ¡°Where am I?¡± Everything that happened earlier, felt like a blur. ¡°You are in my room. Nick needs to take care of something very important,¡± Athena said. Sheridan rose to her feet, a slight dizziness swaying her. ¡°Then I should help him. That is my responsibility.¡± Athena helped stabilize her before guiding her back to the bed. ¡°It is. But you have to be marked before you begin to do so. For now, tell me about my grandchild.¡± Sheridan stiffened slightly. ¡°Nick told you?¡± Athena was slightly dismayed but kept a warm smile on her face. ¡°Were you nning to keep her from me?¡± Guilt wedged in Sheridan¡¯s facial features as she responded. ¡°No. I was just afraid because her life was, threatened.¡± Athena held her hands and spoke seriously. ¡°I have to see her. There is something I need to give her.¡± Sheridan did not think of Athena as a threat, and whatever she wanted to give Daisy would only be good and not bad. But the problem was the journey between both packs. Sheridan was already tired from this one. ¡°It¡¯s a long drive to my pack. Can it wait?¡± She asked softly, and Athena pursed her lips thoughtfully. She would have wanted to see Daisy immediately, but it was understandable that Sheridan was tired and also, she had to be marked. ¡°I can endure a few days. I am patient.¡± In front of the pack house, Alpha Nick was met with the same chaos he left behind. ¡°Where is Sherry? Did you find her?¡± Alpha Nick was faced with As and Henry as soon as he stepped out of the entrance of the pack house. 1/3 Arnold and the others had joined in the search for Charlotte and Tom since Alpha Nick took time to return. The pack members were searching, so it was appropriate to do so. Even the visiting Alphas had all joined in the search. ¡°She¡¯s fine. She¡¯s with my mom,¡± Alpha Nick replied to everyone¡¯s relief, with the exception of Henry. ¡°Are you sure?¡± He asked, pointing out. ¡°You rejected Charlotte, and she disappeared with Sheridan.¡± 5 Alpha Nick sighed. ¡°Go upstairs. Or call her on the phone. It¡¯s not safe for her toe out because she would be the target.¡± As frowned imperceptibly. He could never allow his kid sister to be in any kind of danger. ¡°What are you talking about? If this pack is not safe for her, we shall be d to take her with us.¡± Growing slightly irritated from theirck of trust in him, Alpha Nick asked seriously, his expression dark. ¡°Do I look like a man who can¡¯t protect his mate?¡± ¡°Not so, but I¡¯m still curious to know how she disappeared,¡± As insisted on knowing. Alpha Nick understood that his questions were only based on his care for his sister, so he calmed down and replied. ¡°I will exin, but right now, there are things to do. If you want to help, then join us in gathering the fallen trees.¡± He mind¨Clinked the pack members so they could get the information wherever they were. ¡®Everyone, get the fallen trees. We have to burn them to get enough charcoal to spread around the borders of the pack. Charlotte has turned evil and can only be repelled with charcoal until we are able topletely get rid of her. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. There was no response, but from their actions and the directions they moved, it was obvious that they got into action as soon as they received the information. ¡°Alpha, I don¡¯t think we can train today. It¡¯s already the wee hours of the morning,¡± Beta Dustin reported, exhausted from packing so many fallen trees. This was the first time for such a request, so there was no equipment to do the job except for manpower. Alpha Nick was supervising the gathering of the fallen trees himself and responded, ¡°I understand, but this has to be done. Everyone should get involved.¡± He went to get the fuel and lighter. When he got enough trees to start with, he began to light them after pouring the fuel. More fallen trees were added to the already burning ones. 2/3 LIT It took hours for them to get a substantial amount of charcoal, and a lot of water was used to quench the heat before they began to spread the charcoal around the pack borders. By the time they were done, everyone was exhausted, with no energy to ask questions. It was already morning, but the pack was quiet as if no one lived there. Everyone had retired to bed. Alpha Nick went back to Athena¡¯s room for Sheridan. ¡®Mom, everything is in ce. I¡¯m taking Sheridan with me now.¡± Athena smirked. Nothing should stand in the way of these two marking each other, as it would be a time for her sickness to be lifted off her. ¡°You two should mark each other and mate some more,¡± Athena said, and Sheridan¡¯s cheeks pinked. She wondered how the middle¨Caged woman could be so shameless in saying something so intimate so casually. Reaching Alpha Nick¡¯s room, Sheridan was suddenly nervous, taken aback by Alpha Nick¡¯s dark look. It was unrelenting. ¡°Are you going to do what she said?¡± 3/3 Chapter 107 Chapter 107 Alpha Nick¡¯s gaze only grew darker with desire. He must have been exhausted, but not too exhausted to get this over with. How could he forget about how she tricked him at the resort? ¡°You have no idea how long I¡¯ve waited for this.¡± Sheridan was nervous. The moment her wolf recognized Alpha Nick as their mate, she weakened at the sight of him, turning shy. ¡°But you are tired. It shows on your face. Let¡¯s have a shower, sleep a little, then get to it,¡± Sheridan suggested, looking for a way to escape the awkward moment. The desire in Alpha Nick¡¯s eyes was scary. It was almost as if he was going to tear her into pieces if she had the chance, doubting that she would be able to walk well in the morning. Alpha Nick was amused by the sudden change in her attitude and would have loved to give her some time to readjust to him, but Titan was too eager. ¡°Are you feeling shy of me? It¡¯s not as if we haven¡¯t done it before. Besides, we could just mark each other and sleep,¡± he suggested. Since they had already done the main thing before, his suggestion was not bad, but not having any memory of how that went, Sheridan was reluctant. She had heard from other she¨Cwolves that the marking worked better after the mating session. Since they had just discovered that they were mates, it felt like a first time for them. ¡°You speak as if you can remember our first time.¡± Sheridan was already close to the door of the shower room but Alpha Nick did not try to stop her. She could run all she wanted, but she would never be able to hide from him. ¡°That confirms that you are shy quite surprised because of how bold you were the night before you disappeared.¡± Sheridan¡¯s cheeks turned red. She entered the shower room and yelled, ¡°I will go shower first.¡± Alpha Nick waited patiently, and when Sheridan came out of the shower, he wanted to help dry her hair, bu ran out with only a towel robe on. ¡°I¡¯m going to get some ice cream.¡± 1/4 Chapter IUI Alpha Nick chuckled and went to shower. By the time he was done and out of the shower, Sheridan was enjoying her strawberry ice cream like a kid. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. Alpha Nick never liked food in his room, but with Sheridan, he didn¡¯t mind. Also, she ate so cautiously that not even the melting ice from the cup fell onto the bed. Alpha Nick picked up the hairdryer and began to dry her hair. She stiffened slightly, slowly rxing. ¡°It¡¯s almost dry,¡± she muttered after swallowing what she had in her mouth. Alpha Nick had only a small towel wrapped around his waist, his well¨Csculpted muscr body on disy. He corrected her. ¡°Almost, notpletely dry. No matter what you do, I¡¯m marking you today,¡± he said seriously. Sheridan grew nervous and ate more ice cream. When he was done, he dropped the dryer on the nightstand and took the ice cream from her, dropping it there as well. Sheridan tried to take back her half¨Cempty cup of ice cream, but Alpha Nick sat beside her, instantly nting ? kiss on her lips. She loosened up instantly but tried to suppress her moans. Controlled by the mate bond, their senses heightened, and the kiss deepened before Alpha Nick slowly pulled away and stared desirously at her. ¡°There, it wasn¡¯t hard, was it?¡± Sheridan shook her head and responded, ¡°No.¡± Alpha Nick untied the rope of her towel robe, and as soon as he took it off, her face blushed red, and she facepalmed. Alpha Nick was admiring what was in front of him. Her fair skin was so smooth, and her body was perfect. ¡°No need to feel shy. This is the most beautiful thing I¡¯ve ever seen, but do you know what I want right now?¡± H breath turned heavy as his fingers caressed her feverish skin, making her squirm under his touch. She shivered in his arms and shook her head as he said in a deep, sexy tone. ¡°I want to taste you, Sherry. Will y let me? I promise not to take long so you can rest.¡± He did not wait for her response before he buried his face between her thighs. An overwhelming pleasure too over Sheridan, and she gasped. 2/4 ¡°Nick.¡± ¡°No need to talk. Just enjoy it, my love.¡± His hands held her thighs firmly in ce as his tongue dug into her warm, moist walls. Sheridan gripped the bed tightly, throwing her head backward as she whimpered. Her body was on fire. A pleasurable fire she did not want to be quenched. Alpha Nick¡¯s tongue thrusts only deepened as he sucked her juices, having the taste he so longed for. Her arousal kicked in. It was thick and heavy, filling the room with a lustful sensation. Sheridan felt as if a bucket of cold water was ced in her abdomen when her release came crashing through. A loud moan escaped her. She lost control and released everything into his mouth. Alpha Nick licked her dry before positioning himself on top of her, his hardened member at the tip of her entrance, massaging it softly, as his other hand massaged her breast, pinching her nipples gently. Sheridan had not recovered from her release when he thrust into her. She gasped, feeling full from his hugeness. She felt as if she was going to break into two from the size. ¡°Nick¡­¡± ¡°Do you want me to stop?¡± He thrust slowly in and out of her as he covered her lips with his, allowing her to taste herself in his mouth. Sheridan¡¯s walls had quickly adjusted to his size, and her fingers began to caress his back and hair. ¡°No, don¡¯t stop. It feels good.¡± Alpha Nick smirked. ¡°Then please wrap your sexy legs around my waist,¡± he groaned. The moment she obeyed, his thrusts were fast, deep, and unrelenting. He wanted to be gentle but lost control because of her tightness. Her moans made it worse, and by the time they were done, fatigue overwhelmed them. However, Alpha Nick was eager toplete everything today. Who knew what Charlotte might have in store for them? ¡°My love, don¡¯t sleep yet. I want you to mark me.¡± 3/4 Chapter 108 Chapter 108 +5 Sheridan was so tired that the only thing on her mind was sleep. She also heard that marking led to either exhaustion or rxation, but both options helped greatly with sleep. ¡°Please, let it wait. We¡­¡± Alpha Nick disagreed, pressing his hard body against her soft breast, her hard nipples pinned against his chest. His hot breath fanned her ears. ¡°You are wasting en talking. Just do it.¡± Sheridan smiled weakly with her eyes closed. Why was he so desperate for her mark when there was a lot of time ahead of them? Nheless, she could not disobey hismand. Her eyes opened groggily, Alpha Nick changed his position slightly to make it easy for her. With his neck close to her lips, her canines elongated, instantly sinking into the softness of his neck. Sheridan felt weird after, as if something had been added to her. There was a strange reaction in his system which she could not help but attribute to it being the taste of his blood. Alpha Nick sighed with relief. Finally, he belonged only to her. The pain from the bite was nothing to him as Sheridan licked the little blood that came out of it. Alpha Nick purred, ¡°It¡¯s your turn. I¡¯m going to mark you.¡± There was a strange excitement inside of him, as his wolf seemed peacefully asleep, more like rejuvenating like one would do after a mark. ¡°You won¡¯t stop even if I say no.¡± Sheridan moved to her side, giving him ess to her exposed neck. Alpha Nickid beside her, her back facing him as he buried his head in the crook of her neck, sucking and nting light kisses teasingly, before his canines finally sank in. Sheridan gasped from pain and for a moment, it was as if the sleep disappeared from her eyes. Alpha Nick licked the drops of blood but the next moment, heavy sleep overtook both he and Sheridan, they copsed in each other¡¯s arms. In Athena¡¯s room, the emerald bracelet on her wrist glowed so bright, it awakened her. Luckily, Tedmond was sleeping soundly. Athena¡¯s heart warmed when she saw the brightness of the glow and her lips thinned into a smile. ¡°Finally, we are there.¡± The smile lingered on her lips before she went back to sleep. Daytime was like nighttime at the Dark Moon Pack, as everyone slept soundly. It was not just Alpha Nick and Sheridan who had marked each other. d who In Bree¡¯s room, she was crying from both pain and pleasure, as Alpha Ansaldo did not only mark but also mated with her. Her innocence was all lost to her destined mate and she instantly felt transformed into a woman with responsibilities. The responsibility to her new pack which they decided to go tomorrow because of the fatigue of all the happenings. Alpha Ansaldo still felt guilty because of what he did to Sheridan but did not know how to confess it to Bree. Up until now, he had no idea about the man she ended up with, fearing what had happened the Was Alpha Nick aware? They were now mates but that night remained on Alpha Ansaldo¡¯s mind, stealing his sleep all the time. The act haunted him greatly, he was losing sleep. ¡°You look disturbed. What is the matter?¡± Bree asked him. This was her first time being so exposed to any man but he was her mate. Alpha Ansaldo¡¯s lips pursed, as he pressed them onto hers. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I will get a ss of water.¡± He was not thirsty but was just looking for a time away to hide his guilt. However, Bree caught his hand before he got off the bed. ¡°There is something troubling you. Tell me.¡± 1/2 All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. ¡°You promise not to hate me?¡± Bree thought for a while. It was as if she matured overnight but after the way Sheridan forgave her for all she did not her, she also felt that her heart was big enough to take whatever Alpha Ansaldo was going to say. ¡°If it¡¯s very bad, I would get upset but then, you would have to make me breakfast to cheer me up.¡± ¡°You won¡¯t reject me?¡± Alpha Ansaldo asked seriously, Bree thought carefully. ¡°You said that you waited for me and never mated with anyone,¡± Bree reminded him, he confirmed it with a nod. ¡°That is true.¡± Bree was relieved. It would have hurt badly if he lied to her. ¡°If that is the case then I would never reject you,¡± she said solemnly, Alpha Ansaldo narrated everything to her. When he was done, she remained so quiet, it got him nervous. In another room, Goldie and Dustin were equally intimate. Dustin did not waste time in marking Goldie right in the shower but could not mate with her because she was so exhausted after the marking that she fell asleep. It was past noon when Sheridan woke up from thirst and unease. It was as if a new DNA had reced hers. Aside from that, she could feel the temperature of the pack in her mind, knowing that all pack members were still asleep but there were equally no intruders. This was very strange to her and she began to wonder how it all began. Was it because of the mark? She was too thirsty to continue worrying about it. The water in the fridge in her and Alpha Nick¡¯s room was too cold so she went to the kitchen to get some warm water. There, Alpha Ansaldo, dressed in a pair of white shorts and a shirt, was making a toast for Bree since everyone was still asleep. She was upset after the confessionst night so he acted on every promise she made, to cook for her and hope it would ease her anger. Seeing Sheridan, he was ddened to have this talk with her. ¡°Sherry. I ept your forgiveness but don¡¯t you think Alpha Nick should know about it? I already told Bree.¡± Sheridan massaged her temple from the strange things she was experiencing but before she could respond, that familiar voice spoke on her stead. ¡°Forgiveness? What do I have to know about?¡± Alpha Nick asked seriously, his re on Alpha Ansaldo. 2/2 É« SEND GIFT COMMENT Chapter 109 Chapter 109 0 ¡°F*ck,¡± Alpha Ansaldo cursed under his breath. Though he felt that Alpha Nick should know about it, his reaction waspletely out of the question, and right now, he looked so ghastly that it was better toy the matter to rest. ¡°Alpha Nick¡­¡± Alpha Ansaldo was about to say when a low but stern voice cut in. ¡°Let me handle it,¡± Sheridan intervened. Knowing Alpha Nick¡¯s temper, the only person he would not try to hurt and would rather be lenient with was her. It was a fact that the matter had been buried under the carpet for a long time. It was time to let it out for all secrets to die once and for all. ¡°It¡¯s about that night at the g awards. He was the one who drugged us.¡± Her voice shook a little when she met Alpha Nick¡¯s cold re, but her body was no longer the same as before. Her knees were already giving in, but this matter had to be resolved then and there. She ensured to stand in front of Alpha Nick to prevent him from throwing a punch, and just as expected, his fingers balled into fists. As a man, he already discerned Alpha Ansaldo¡¯s intentions back then, ¡°You? You were nning to sleep with her, weren¡¯t you?¡± The thought of how vulnerable he and Sheridan were that night disturbed him greatly. ¡°That second drink was supposed to be meant for you so it would seem as if both of you had been drugged, isn¡¯t it?¡± He pieced Alpha Ansaldo¡¯s intention together, ready to beat the hell out of him for trying something so dirty. Alpha Ansaldo felt ashamed but admitted it. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I was so desperate, thinking I would not be able to find my mate.¡± Alpha Nick tried to move around Sheridan, but she held him back. ¡°Please don¡¯t throw a punch. Something good came out of that night, and you know it,¡± she red at him. Alpha Nick noticed she was shaking and grew disturbed. ¡°What are you talking about?¡± Alpha Ansaldo asked curiously. ¡°It¡¯s not your business. Just leave,¡± Alpha Nick pulled Sheridan into his arms as he addressed Alpha Ansaldo. Something was happening to Sheridan that he could not quite put a finger on. ¡°You know you¡¯ll be sacking me too, right?¡± Bree walked in from behind and wrapped her arms around Alpha Ansaldo¡¯s waist. Then she stared pleadingly at her brother. ¡°Everyone makes mistakes, Nick. This is in the past, and you have Sheridan. Alpha Ansaldo now has an equal right to this pack, just like me.¡± Alpha Nick was surprised at how his sister matured overnight, but then he saw the mark on her neck. It seemed a lot of people were busy in the pack house. Also, everything she said was the truth. For as long as they were mates, Bree had equal rights to Alpha Ansaldo¡¯s pack, the same way he did for hers. From the look of things, Alpha Nick would have to postpone training to early tomorrow morning since it was past midday, and just a handful of omegas and other pack members were awake. ¡°Things could have gone wrong. Someone else could have drunk it,¡± Alpha Nick exined to Bree ¡°But that did not happen,¡± Bree argued in defense of her mate, staring apologetically at her brother. Alpha Nick knew she had a point. It turned out to be a beautiful night where Daisy was conceived. He might not be able to remember, but it was still very special to him because of what they both got from it. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s forgotten. No fights,¡± Alpha Nick gave up. Sheridan smiled in his arms as Alpha Ansaldo said, ¡°Thank you, Alpha Nick.¡± All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. Alpha Nick frowned a little at the sound of his voice. ¡°You are lucky you got mated to my only sister.¡± Alpha Ansaldo smiled proudly but did not respond. Alpha Nick¡¯s attention was drawn to the woman in his arms. She was already burning up. ¡°Sherry. Are you alright?¡± ¡°I need something cold,¡± Sheridan¡¯s voice came out almost as a whisper. Alpha Nick was disturbed but recalled 2/4 how she ate so much ice creamst night. ¡°Like ice cream or cold water?¡± He asked seriously. She replied in the same soft tone. ¡°Chilled water.¡± Alpha Nick was about to carry her to the fridge when Bree beat him to it. ¡°I¡¯ll get it for you. You can rest. I will bring the water and breakfast.¡± ¡°Water alone is okay,¡± Sheridan replied weakly before saying to Alpha Nick, ¡°Please let¡¯s go.¡± Everyone thought she was just tired from the mark. Most she¨Cwolves reacted that way, especially when marked by a strong Alpha. All they needed was a good rest. Bree got the cold water first, and Alpha Nick fed it to her before asking again. ¡°Sherry, are you alright?¡± He noticed the changes in her eye color. ¡°Nick, I feel strange,¡± Sheridan said honestly. Alpha Nick felt that his mother would have some answers. The problem might be because of him. Alpha Nick¡¯s hands slipped under her thighs, and she was lifted into his arms, bridal style. As he was headed to the bedroom, he bumped into Arnold. ¡°What is wrong with head at how protec Arnold was disturbed, ready to snatch Sheridan from his arms. Alpha Nick shook his head at how protective Arnold was of his sister. ¡°She¡¯s just tired from being marked,¡± he exined calmly, but Arnold had equally marked his mate and never experienced anything like this. ¡°I don¡¯t think so.¡± ¡°Then you can wait until she recovers,¡± Alpha Nick suggested, not ready to argue with him and adding, ¡°The Alpha King can take care of your pack in your absence, or six of your brothers can go ahead.¡± Arnold thought about the suggestion. He could stay longer to ensure Sheridan¡¯s well¨Cbeing while his six brothers return to help their father in taking care of the pack. ¡°That isn¡¯t bad.¡± ¡°If they are going, then I¡¯m going with them,¡± Athena appeared on top of the stairs and said seriously. Alpha Nick 3/A was perplexed. ¡°Why, mom?¡± Athena was not joking this time. Sheridan had asked for time, but with Charlotte alive, time was not a luxury. ¡°It¡¯s important that I see my grandchild, or Sheridan would not be well.¡± SEND GIFT COMMENT Chapter 110 Chapter 110 ¡°Mom, what are you saying?¡± Alpha Nick was getting upset, and Sheridan¡¯s eyes were already closed. She must have fallen asleep already. Even with her in his arms, it felt as though he was just carrying paper. He did not know if it was due to his level of strength or if she was just lightweight. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Athena could speak to Nick alone, but with so many guests at the packhouse, she could not reveal a deep family Secret. ¡°There are no intruders here. I have to see my granddaughter. You stay here and let me go with them. I will find my way back,¡± she said seriously. Arnold thought for a while and rather suggested, ¡°Let¡¯s go. I will bring you back to ensure that Sheridan is okay.¡± For as long as it concerned his kid sister, he was willing to do anything for her, and also, Daisy was Athena¡¯s granddaughter, so she had every right to see the cute little creature. Athena stared at her son, but he did not refuse, so she followed Arnold to his car. The six other brothers left as well, unable to say goodbye to Sheridan since she was asleep. Alpha Nick did not leave Sheridan after carrying her upstairs butid beside her, watching her sleeping form. He could not help but smile at the rise and fall movement of her chest. In Dustin¡¯s room, he had been up for a while, but Goldie was still sleeping. Though not wanting to disturb her, he also could not resist her. nting a kiss on her exposed shoulder, Goldie opened her eyes slowly and turned to face him. ¡°Good morning,¡± she said shyly, rubbing her neck due to the mark earlier. ¡°Sorry for waking you, but I couldn¡¯t wait¡± Dustin kissed the mark on her neck, and instead of the pain she felt from it before, it was rather a pleasurable sensation. A smile stretched Goldie¡¯s lips. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I was just too tired because of how long we stayed awake. What is the time?¡± Dustin had no idea why she was asking for the time but pulled slightly away and replied, ¡°It¡¯s already noon.¡± It was as if Goldie just remembered something and tried to lift herself from the bed. ¡°Sherry. I have to check on her.¡± Dustin quickly pinned her back to the bed with a look of desire and slight anger. ¡°Can you take proper care of Sheridan than Alpha Nick?¡± he asked solemnly, his gaze roaming on her exposed skin. It was good that they slept nakedst night because of Goldie¡¯s fatigue from the mark. A lot of things happen during a marking, so Dustin had to give her time, but right now, he had reached his limit. Goldie knew that Dustin was right. Alpha Nick happened to be Sheridan¡¯s mate so he would indeed take great care of her. Dustin¡¯s mark on her made it difficult for him to resist her when his wolf was equally as desirous of her. Goldie could not pretend to not know what he wanted and spoke directly. ¡°I get it. Let¡¯s finish what we startedst night.¡± Dustin similed and instantly covered her nipple with his warm mouth. Goldie moaned from pleasure, her body turned feverish as his fingers caressed her other breast. The strange sensation sparked a pleasurable fire inside her, and she began to feel hot and needy for him. Dustin was slightly nervous about exploring certain parts of her body and said politely, ¡°I love you, Goldie. I don¡¯t mean to disrespect you, but I need ess to every part of you.¡± Goldie choked onughter as she had never heard of a man as careful as her mate. ¡°Stop being polite. I love you too. and I am yours.¡± her unwavering. Dustin smiled with relief and kissed her on the lips, his knees parting her thighs slowly, his gaze on her Goldie whimpered when his finger brushed her entrance, the sensations she felt from before began to triple as they dug deeper. Her waist moved to the rhythm of his fingers inside her wet walls as she moved in circr motions. Dustin groaned from the feel of her tightness. ¡°It¡¯s so warm and tight.¡± His lips soon found their way there as he began to lick her clits. Goldie held the sheets tightly, her release spiraling out of control with a loud moan. Sex was pleasurable, and she was beginning to think of doing it more often with her mate. At the same time, Dustin saw her shiver from her release, he thrust his hard cock inside her all at once, a yelp escaped. her, and she began to hit him on the chest. ¡°Stop, it¡¯s painful.¡± She tried to pull away, unable to bear the pain, but the man on top of her did not seem like he was going to stop. Dustin, filled with so much desire, forced his length inside her at once with a groan before covering her lips with his once again. Caressing her body, his cock continued to erge inside of her, making her full. His voice turned heavy from a blend of pleasure and desire. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. There is nothing we can do about the pain during the first time.¡± Goldie was sweaty from the pain before but pressed her fingers into his back, pressing him closer. ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt anymore.¡± Dustin lost control, thrusting deeply and hitting her G¨Cspot as she kept urging him on. It was both their first time, and their release somehow came together. Both panting, Dustin slipped to the side and pulled her into his arms. ¡°Now, I feelplete.¡± Goldie smiled. ¡°I feel so honored to have you as my second chance mate. I thought the moon goddess would give up on me.¡± Recalling the asshole of a mate she had before, she had to thank Sheridan for stopping her from rejecting Dustin. He wasn¡¯t bad after all, and just like Alpha Nick, he was just someone who respected the mate bond a lot. ¡°You have no idea how much joy you have brought into my life. I guess you are ready to learn about your new pack?¡± he asked. Goldie nodded her head and spoke, right before she drifted to sleep once more. ¡°I think I¡¯m gonna love this pack like mine.¡± Chapter lin In an unknown location, a man and a womany unconscious on a bed. A man stared down at them and puffed his cigarette. ¡°You have rested enough, Charlotte, What is the n? My army is at your service.¡± Author¡¯s notes This story would be updated daily from now onwards. COMMENT Chapter 111 Chapter 111 Charlotte woke up groggily, the smoke from the cigarette feeling like a fog in the room. She felt light and staggered slightly when she got off the bed. ¡°Where am I?¡± ¡°At the magic pack,¡± a familiar voice rang in her ears, and she focused her attention on the familiar man at the door. The familiar blonde hair and blue eyes struck a chord in her. She had met him just once but had enough memory him. Charlotte never thought that this man would keep his promise, but he did. ¡°Goliath, how did 1 get here?¡± She asked, stabilizing herself by holding onto a chair. She had no idea what she looked like at the moment, recalling what happened to her at the Dark Moon pack and how she was almost stoned to death. Goliath dropped the half¨Cburnt cigarette in an ashtray and ambled towards her, his voice filled with warmth. ¡°One good tum deserves another, right?¡± Charlotte knew that he helped her to pass the message to She, but who knew it would lead to She¡¯s return to the pack? Her wolf turned evil, but it also helped her to escape her untimely death. ¡°I thought Charcoal helped me to escape.¡± Goliath agreed. ¡°Yes, but he only got you out of the Dark Moon Pack. I picked both of you up a mile away.¡± Charlotte found hope, but her gaze darkened at the thought of Sheridan. She must have Alpha Nick now, but Charlotte was certain that all the intimacy between them was only to make her jealous because Alpha Nick caught her and Tom in the act. Alpha Nick never liked anyone in his space, so she was certain that the rtionship between him and Sheridan would have returned to how it used to be, with Sheridan sleeping in a different room. ¡°So, you want to return a favor?¡± She asked Goliath, and thetter nodded his head. was calm and yet solemn. ¡°It was my fault that your wolf turned evil, so I am at yourmand.¡± His tone Charlotte smiled evilly. Having sex with Goliath when he was under the influence of an aphrodisiac did not turn her wolf evil, but rather it was due to all her evil deeds against Sheridan. Since Goliath was taking responsibility for it, she would just let it remain so. ¡°So, where am I?¡± She asked with renewed hope, already thinking about how to get her revenge against Sheridan. The only way to end the feud between them was if one person died. Charlotte did not think she was the one deserving death at this moment. ¡°At the magic pack. The Alpha is under my spell and would do anything I want,¡± Goliath assured her. Charlotte had known after she slept with Goliath that night that he had some special powers. She just did not think it would be so strong to take control of an Alpha, especially of the magic pack. ¡°How strong is their army?¡± She asked, already nning an attack against the Dark Moon pack. ¡°Strong and great in number. You know they have magic too, right?¡± Goliath asked in an amused tone. Charlotte smiled knowingly. ¡°That is why it¡¯s called the magic pack. I thought their existence was just a myth.¡± In times past, the people from the magic pack used their magic to take things that were not theirs. Their uncouth behavior called for the packs seeking the moon goddess to address the issue, leading to the banishment of the magic pack. The location was hidden without them interfering with other packs. For centuries, they never interfered with any of the packs, making them non¨Cexistent and to some, even a myth. Who knew that Charlotte would be the one to awaken the magic pack into operation once again! ¡°That is what everybody thinks because they can¡¯t be traced and are protected by magic,¡± Goliath exined further, seeing as the information made Charlotte happy. ¡°I have to attack the Dark Moon Pack, but I want to know first if Alpha Nick marked the bitch. His forcing me to ept his rejection does not change a thing. Charlotte¡¯s expression was dark as she spoke. Through the attack, she could get rid of Sheridan once and for all. With magic, she could make Alpha Nick fall in love with her. The moment he marks and mates with her, there would be no turning back for him, and she would forever take control of the Dark Moon Pack. ¡°Do you still want him?¡± Goliath asked with interest, and Charlotte did not respond directly. She rather asked. ¡°Is there magic that can make him love and mate with me?¡± ¡°There is, but only if he hasn¡¯t marked and mated with Sheridan. You should have asked for it before sending me to pass the message to her in New York,¡± Goliath expressed thoughtfully. ¡°I did not know that she had any ties with Alpha Nick by then. They had divorced,¡± she said with regret. If she had just a slight hint that Alpha Nick was going after Sheridan, she would have instructed Goliath to finish her off. ¡°So, what are you doing with him?¡± Goliath stared at the man on the bed. Charlotte followed his gaze the realization that she had saved Tom¡¯s life. and was hit with ¡°Tom¡± I don¡¯t know. It would depend on whose side he¡¯s on.¡± ¡°Tom?¡± She went over and shook him on the bed. Tom opened his eyes with shock on his facial features. ¡°Charlotte. How did we escape? How am I alive?¡± He was looking at himself as if he was just dug out from the earth. Charlotte¡¯s expression was stern since things were no longer the same between her and Tom. ¡°My wolf saved you, but my friend here kept us alive. Tom was only happy to be alive since he had lost hope. ¡°Great. Let¡¯s leave for California. I have some rtives there. We can start over. Also, since we both rejected our mates, we can mark each other.¡± Tom thought that she still loved him because she saved his life, but her response wiped his hopes. ¡°If that is what you want, you are free to go, but I still want Nick, and Goliath has a charm for it. If you want Goldie too, he can work on something for you.¡± This was not what Tom wanted to hear. He thought that after everything, Charlotte would learn her lesson, but it did not seem so. Charlotte, if this i sman saved our lives, then let¡¯s thank him and find a way to repay him. Just don¡¯t waste the opportunity to be better than before.¡± Charlotte was getting upset by his sudden navigation towards righteousness. ¡°Stop lecturing me. If you don¡¯t want to do it, you are free to leave. You have five minutes to decide. After that, then you have to do everything I say.¡± Tom could not trust Charlotte anymore. Even if she saved his life, it was either she decided to go with him or they go their separate ways. Chapter ¡°I prefer my freedom. Just tell your friend to help me with some money, and I will leave. If your ns fail, you would have a ce in California to stay.¡± Charlotte did not see any error in her ns when she would be operating on charms this time. ¡°My ns would not fail, but you would be the loser in the end. Just wait until I be the Luna with all the pack¡¯s resources in my hands. You would miss the opportunity of gaining a lot of wealth.¡± N?velDrama.Org owns this text. Knowing that wealth was what Tom wanted, she pitched it from that angle, but to her shock, Tom refused the offer, having learned his lesson the hard way. ¡°Thank you for saving my life, but I would rather leave. My pack already banished me, so I don¡¯t have a ce here. Please. Just lend me some money. I promise to return it.¡± Charlotte wanted him to stay, but since she was now going to operate with special powers, she could not force him. He had to stay by his own ord, and for that, she could only make things difficult for him. ¡°If you want to leave, then go, but I would not permit him to give you any money. Will you stay or leave?¡± Tom bit his lower lip as he weighed the options put before him. To stay and be Charlotte¡¯s ploy? He would rather take a chance at freedom and die in it. ¡°I want to leave. So where am I?¡± He asked seriously, and Goliath replied to him this time, instead of Charlotte. ¡°The magic pack. Just close your eyes, and you would be outside the pack. You won¡¯t know how you came or how you out, so there would be no return. Are you sure about this?¡± COMMENT Chapter 112 Chapter 112 Tom thought through the matter. Charlotte was not willing to let her friend or whatever loan him the money, but one thing was sure. He would not stay at any pack and be a ve like what happened in the Dark Moon Pack. Though well¨Cfed, his movement was restricted. Losing everything, he would rather start from scratch. ¡°I want to leave, Tom said with his eyes closed. Goliath pped his hand, and he disappeared, finding himself at a strange ce. Charlotte was disappointed, though, but had a feeling that Tom would soon try to find her to apologize if he was unable to make it on his own. Goliath asked her. ¡°So what do you want to do now?¡± ¡°I want to meet the pack members. Charlotte said with determination. Who knows, she might just own this pack as well. Unfortunately for her, Goliath was not so stupid. Knowing how ambitious Charlotte was, he could not give her too much. His only debt was the fact that she saved his life, and that would be paid by helping her to war against the Dark Moon Pack. ¡°No. They would note out. Don¡¯t forget they were banished,¡± he created an excuse, but it was also true. Charlotte was not happy about this. Going into war with a pack she did not know was not only strange but also suspicious. ¡°So how do Imunicate with them?¡± ¡°You have to do it through me.¡± Goliath said seriously. Charlotte could not insist. If she did so, her intentions might just be out in the open. ¡°Alright. In two weeks, we attack the Dark Moon pack,¡± she forced a smile and said, but Goliath was skeptical. ¡°Why not tomorrow?¡± ¡°Because they would be well¨Cprepared and might even still be searching for me. I want them to think I¡¯m noting back. It should have been longer, but I fear he might mark and mate with Sheridan if it took too long ¡°Alright. I will prepare the pack members, but I remember that I saw Sheridan with a baby when I went to pass the information in New York, Goliath revealed, Charlotte¡¯s face drained of color. ¡°A he or she?¡± she asked seriously. For as long as she knew Sheridan, she never gave in to any of the men who made advances towards her. ¡°I don¡¯t know. I only saw a baby in the child seat, but I did not see the face.¡± Goliath exined in detail. ¡°She did not return to the pack with a baby, and no one spoke about one. It might be someone else¡¯s, Charlotte thought aloud. Goliath was relieved. If the child was Sheridan and Alpha Nick¡¯s, then the charm he had for her might not work. ¡°Alright. I would get you something to eat before we strategize the attack¡± At the Moonshine pack, the Alpha King was amazed by Athena¡¯s presence. ¡°To what do we owe this visit? Luna Athena?¡± Athena smiled and replied. ¡°I am not a Luna, as I never had the strength for it, but your daughter is the Luna of my pack, and I only came to see my granddaughter.¡± Cupir 112 The Alpha King was slightly suspicious since he had not directly heard from Sheridan after she left. ¡°Why dide with Sheridan?¡± you not ¡°She¡¯s tired. There is a lot going on at the pack, but I have a gift for my granddaughter,¡± Athena replied instantly. The Alpha King could not refuse since Athena was Alpha Nick¡¯s mother. There was no bad record about her, and she was also driven to their pack by his son, Arnold. ¡°Since Arnold brought you, it means that Sheridan already agreed.¡± ¡°That is so,¡± Athena replied. ¡°Daisy is with my queen in her chamber. I hope you aren¡¯t taking her away?¡± The Alpha King asked. Daisy was his first grandchild, so naturally, everybody doted on the girl. It would be saddening if she was taken away from them so soon. Athena assured him by saying, ¡°The only person who should move Daisy in or out of this pack should be either of her parents.¡± A smile stretched the corner of the lips of the Alpha King. ¡°Okay.¡± Arnold led Athena to his mother¡¯s chamber, and after hearing a soft e in¡± after the knock, Athena was delighted to see Daisy sleeping peacefully in her cot. It was obvious that she shared the same room as the Alpha King and queen, per the arrangement in the room. Athena went to lift the cute creature from the cot and into her arms. ¡°Oh goddess, she¡¯s so pretty like a female version of my son.¡± The queen vehemently agreed. ¡°Yes. She took after Alpha Nick.¡± Athena could not take her eyes off her sleeping granddaughter, saying to the queen, ¡°Can I have some alone time with her?¡± ¡°Why is that?¡± The queen frowned, feeling suspicious. Athena was not afraid of what she wanted to say to Daisy, but the fact remained that it was a family secret. Sheridan would know about it with time because she was Alpha Nick¡¯s mate, but not her parents or brothers. The lesser people knew about it, the better for everybody. ¡°It is very necessary. I am Daisy¡¯s grandmother too, and all I want is to spend some time with her.¡± After a little thought, the queen said, ¡°Alright. I will get her some food. She has been sleeping for quite long.¡± ¡°Was she breastfed?¡± Athena asked, just to confirm a few things. If Daisy was the chosen one, then there had to be some character traits. ¡°No. Sherry said that Daisy never liked to suck the breast.¡± ¡°She¡¯s the chosen one,¡± Athena mistakenly said aloud, the queen¡¯s brows furrowed. ¡°What did you say?¡± Athena soon realized her mistake and said, ¡°I would love coffee. ck. No sugar.¡± Alpha Nick never sucked his mother¡¯s breast. He should have been the one to possess the powers, except that he was a boy. Only a girl had the womb to carry it. The queen would have asked the maids to prepare the coffee, but since she personally made Daisy¡¯s food because of what Sherry told her, she decided to make the coffee as well. ¡°I will be right back.¡± As soon as the door closed, Athena chanted a few words to the sleeping baby in her arms. ¡°From this day forward, you are protected against all spells and evil powers, and would be the most your time. This bracelet belongs to your mother and should nevere off from your wrist.¡± powerful of Athena removed the bracelet on her wrist; it strangely shrunk in the size of Daisy¡¯s wrist. As soon as she clipped the bracelet onto her left wrist, the baby began to bawl, but after some coaxing, she fell right back to sleep. The queen had hastened things because of the sound of Daisy¡¯s cries and soon returned. ¡°Your coffee. Why is she asleep so soon? I heard her cry.¡± She did not mince her words. Athena smiled. It was done anyway. ¡°Thanks, but I don¡¯t like coffee. I would leave now.¡± The queen saw the emerald bracelet on Daisy¡¯s tiny wrist. ¡°What is that on her wrist? It looks like my bracelet.¡± Athena smiled. The powers were transferred from the pendant to the bracelet, and since it originally belonged to the queen, it made it even better. ¡°Sheridan gave it to me, but now, I¡¯m giving it to my grandchild. She must never take it off.¡± She kissed Daisy on the forehead before cing her back in her cot. Athena left after discussing some casual things. The queen knew that she was not an ordinary woman. A woman who would dare to ask for coffee when she did not like it sure has some tricks up her sleeves, but it was obvious that Athena was not a bad woman. Alpha Nickid beside the sleeping Sheridan when her eyes opened suddenly. ¡°Athena. I have to talk to her.¡± This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Çú Chapter 113 Chapter 113 Alpha Nick was shocked. Sheridan was sleeping as if she would never wake up but the force at which she jolted awake created the impression that something must have woken her. Was it his mother¡¯s charms? He might not be the one to possess it but knew a few things about it. ¡°Calm down. What is the problem?¡± He asked Sheridan, just to confirm as he wiped beads of sweat from her forehead. Sheridan had no idea why but recalled vividly that Athena had something very important to tell her. ¡°She said she had to see Daisy and also would tell me a few things.¡± Alpha Nick confirmed that it was indeed his mother¡¯s powers. Certainly, Sheridan would have to know about it even if she was not the chosen one. It would create the avenue for her to use the knowledge to help Daisy in the future. ¡°Arnold already took her to see Daisy. How are you feeling?¡± Alpha Nick asked worriedly, Sheridan stared at him with mixed feelings and responded. ¡°Fine. Except,¡± she rubbed her hands around the area of the mark. The voices she was hearing in her ears must be because she was mated to an Alpha. The responsibility of the pack was now shared between them as she could now feel the pressure Alpha Nick faced on a daily basis. ¡°Except what?¡± Alpha Nick asked her. All he wanted was for her to be happy. Everything else could wait. He could not also wait to put an end to Charlotte and Tom, so Daisy could be introduced to the pack. Alpha Nick longed to make it up to that little girl, as well as her mother, the woman he loves and his mate. Destiny yed a dangerous game on him and he had to thank his guts for not marking Charlotte if not, his life and pack would have been turned upside down. ¡°Except that I feel different,¡± Sheridan said honestly, not able to put words to it. It was hard to exin if it was just due to the mate bond or something else happening. ¡°How different?¡± Alpha Nick was very curious about it but Sheridan felt helpless and saddened that she could not exin it to him. ¡°I don¡¯t know how to exin it.¡± Alpha Nick was quite tempted by the innocence disyed before him. ¡°Maybe.¡± he removed the strap of her lingerie. ¡°If we make love once again, you will understand.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± her lips were covered with his, as her back hit the bed gently. The erotic moment was interrupted with a banging on the door. Drowned in passionate kisses, he did not want to get it, except it kept banging. Sheridan slowly pulled away and nudged him. ¡°Please get the door. What if its Bree?¡± She understood that the siblings needed to spend some time together before Bree leaves. ¡°Alright,¡± Alpha Nick replied. Recalling that Bree would be leaving soon, he wore a pair of shorts and a shirt. Reaching and opening the door, it was not what he expected as Alpha Knight and Seiko stood in front of the door with their Lunas beside them. They were all formally dressed. Alpha Smight spoke haly ¡°Alpha Nok. I¡¯m sorry but me and my Luna have to leave now. Our pack is under an Alpha. Nick was angered. ¡°What? Do you know where the enemies are from? Do you need my help?¡± He asked all aogether, ready to leave with them His problems were temporary forgotten as well Alpha Knight was grateful for his concern and proceed to exin ¡°I was told they are rogues but Alpha Seiko already agreed to go with us. Also, I know that your pack needs you at this moment. Charlene disappeared somehow and I don¡¯t think its safe to leave your pack in a vulnerable state.¡± Alpha Nack¡¯s mand was drawn back to his problems so he did not insist on it. ¡°Then let me get some of my warriors to go with you. If you need more help, just let me know.¡± Alpha Knight once again refused. For as long as Charlotte disappeared, it was easy to discern that she would be back. With whatever power she has with it being unknown, the dark moon pack had to be ready. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Alpha Seiko aced some of his warriors to meet us there.¡± Alpha. Nick was not Being that be could not offer any help to them and said. ¡°We have not even had time to talk about the business but boperly we shall do so during the coronation.¡± Sore, we can. Apia Knight replied. Steradan had dressed up and appeared beside Alpha Nick, greeting the Lunas good bye. After everything calms, they could meet again to catch up on Luna duties. The two Alphas and their Luas left before Alpha Nick remembered that Alpha Ansaldo was in Bree¡¯s room. Seemed that Alpha Knight had not informed Alpha Ansaldo about the attack. But it was understandable. Alpha Knight and Seiko had their Lonas and Ansaldo only met Bree here. They had a lot to catch up on and their crocation was going toe on as well ¡°Do you think we should do some pack rounds? Everybody slept a lot, Sheridan asked, though she was rather suggesting in pha Nick did not refuse. Hearing about a pack being attacked ruined his erotic mood. How could he be selfish to nd pleasure when his fellow Alpha¡¯s pack was in a chaos? Untill be hears that everything was over, he would not be the same. some warm clothes for us to carry along, just in case with get to the borders. Training tomorrow has to Te let me get so be very early.¡± Alpha Nick picked two sweaters before leaving with Sheridan as they continued to speak. ¡°I agree. Everyone has rested enough and we need to find Charlotte, dead or alive. If not, Daisy can never join us here.¡± Alpha Nick¡¯s Engers balled Charlotte was the biggest mistake of his life. ¡°I have thought about it as well.¡± The ringing of Alpha Nick¡¯s phone interrupted the conversation and he casually answered the call, not expecting who ¡°Alpha Nick please don¡¯t hang up. It¡¯s me. Tom. Author¡¯s note 241 PM This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Please forgive me for the missing days. I am trying to round up the story and hence the dys. Kindly bear with me. É« Chapter 114 Chapter 114 Alpha Nick, who was strolling with Sheridan, quickly pulled her into his arms as if danger surrounded them. ¡°Tom? You know you are supposed to be dead, right?¡± Alpha Nick asked. Sheridan heard the name and signaled him. to put the conversation on speaker mode. Alpha Nick did so as Sheridan copied the strange number on Alpha Nick¡¯s phone. She instantly initiated a tracker. If Tom could stay on the line for at least a minute, they would know his location. At the end of the line, Tom was nervous but did not have anyone else in mind to help him at this moment. He proceeded to speak over the phone. ¡°Alpha Nick, since I¡¯m alive, please spare me.¡± Suspicion zed Alpha Nick¡¯s voice as he retorted, ¡°If that was the only thing you wanted, you would not have called. Where is Charlotte?¡± There were no mincing words with Alpha Nick when it involved the safety of his pack and loved ones. ¡°I can¡¯t give you you information about her for free. Tom responded, fearing the worst. Good thing he was far from the Dark Moon Pack, and should Alpha Nick send anyone after him, he would have escaped before the person appeared. ¡°Both of you are going to die anyway,¡± Nick said seriously, not ready for any bargains. The duo was a threat to his pack, and he had to act fast before the menace spread like amunicable disease ¡°What she¡¯s up to has nothing to do with me,¡± Tom tried to rify, Nick¡¯s interest peaked at knowing what Charlotte was up to. Athena said some things, and though Nick was aware, he still needed the details. ¡°How did you manage to escape?¡± He asked seriously. Tom did not speak immediately, rather thinking seriously about his demand. ¡°All that information would be given if you give me what I want.¡± Nick was amazed by his guts to negotiate anything with him at a time like this but chose to listen. ¡°What do you want? Tom should be ashamed, but Alpha Nick was the one who destroyed his business andid his cards on the table. ¡°I need money to start over. You already ruined my businesses.¡± Sheridan was smiling, and so was Alpha Nick, but both for different reasons. ¡°You are smart enough to know that I did, but what makes you think that I will be willing to help or give you my money when I want you dead?¡± Alpha Nick asked, hoping for a way toplete what he started with both individuals. ¡°That¡¯s because the information I will give you will help you to nail Charlotte. Trust me, it shall be worth it ¡°Trust you?¡± Alpha Nickughed. ¡°That is like hanging myself on the neck.¡± The man was not making it easy for his former best friend. Alpha Nick listened to Tom¡¯s next excuse, which was rather a sensible one. ¡°I understand, but I have changed. I just want to start my life afresh. Look, I¡¯m sorry for everything. I hurt you, but you got better. Charlotte can neverpare with Sheridan.¡± 2:41 PMI ¡°You should thank me for it. If I hadn¡¯t lured her away, you would have marked her the first time you met and would have never had Sheridan.¡± Alpha Nick recalled that it was true. Come to think of it, he could not punish himself to be on the same bed with Charlotte. With Sheridan in his arms, Alpha Nick was ready to let things go for Tom, but a different rule applied to Charlotte. ¡°What assurance do I have that after giving you the money, you will give me the information I need?¡± Tom thought of a coteral and used a human one. ¡°My parents are still alive. Even if I escape, they are still vulnerable. Alpha Nick was satisfied with the answer and asked, ¡°So how much are we looking at?¡± ¡°Just half a million. I¡¯m already in front of the bank. If you send the money, I will withdraw it and give you the information,¡± ¡°Tom said nervously from the end of the line. ¡°Hold on,¡± Alpha Nick said and faced Sheridan after putting the call on hold. ¡°What do you think?¡± Sheridan did not have to think much to answer this. ¡°With his parents on the line, I think it¡¯s worth taking the risk. We need to end Charlotte. Alpha Nick agreed with her, instantly transferring the money with Tom on the line. As soon as it was confirmed, he tapped the unmute button. ¡°Have you got it?¡± Tom spoke from the end of the line, no one took him seriously because his presence was not registered. ¡°I have to go to the bank to check. This phone isn¡¯t mine. I will call you after withdrawing the money,¡± Tom said and ended the call. Alpha Nick stared at Sheridan in his arms after the screen of the phone went dark. ¡°I hope this works out.¡± Sheridan¡¯s head bobbed confidently. ¡°Same here, but at least he said the truth about his location,¡± she said, Alpha Nick¡¯s curious gazended on her. ¡°How did you know?¡± He asked softly. Sheridan exined it to him. ¡°I¡¯ve been tracking him.¡± Alpha Nick was proud to have her. ¡°I¡¯m d it¡¯s you.¡± The pack was quiet, so they strolled around, engrossed in a conversation before Alpha Nick¡¯s phone rang again. ¡°I got the money. Thanks. Charlotte is at the magic pack. She seems to have some strange powers and rescued me. I woke up to find myself at the magic pack, but she told me to stay so we can revenge on you.¡± Alpha Nick¡¯s arm around Sheridan stiffened instantly. ¡°I was given the chance to either join her ns or leave with nothing. I chose thetter. I don¡¯t know the details of her ns, but I know she¡¯s coming for you. I also gave you the location,¡± Tom pointed out on the phone. ¡°How did you get to the magic pack?¡± Alpha Nick asked. ¡°I don¡¯t know. You must have some magic. I¡¯ve done my part. The rest is on you. Thanks, Nick. I¡¯m very sorry for betraying your trust, but I promise you would never see me again.¡± It was good to keep one¡¯s fiends close and their enemies closer, but Alpha Nick was satisfied with the coteral. SEND GIFT 241 PUDD¡¤ ¡°I wish you all the best, Tom, but if I find out that you lied to me, I would not onlye back for my money but also your life.¡± ¡°I already experienced your anger. That would never happen.¡± Tom said seriously. Alpha Nick merely ended the call when a mindlink zapped through his mind. ¡°Ma¡¯am and Alpha Arnold are back.¡± Alpha Nick smiled and said to Sheridan. ¡°Since we are talking about the magic pack, mom is back and is with Arnold. We should go and find out more.¡± Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. 0 Chapter 115 Chapter 115 ¡°Ma¡¯am, it¡¯s good to have you back.¡± Sheridan and Alpha Nick arrived almost at the same time to wee Athena. She looked exhausted, not having slept over at the Moonshine Pack. However, Athena was rather worried about Sheridan. ¡°It¡¯ste. What are you still doing awake?¡± She asked worriedly. Seeing Sheridan hugging Athena affectionately, Arnold could not help feeling that he was pushed aside. ¡°Sherry did you forget about me so soon?¡± He asked, feigning annoyance. Sheridan pulled away from Athena and went to hug him. ¡°Not at all. You look tired. Shouldn¡¯t you rest?¡± She asked with care, Arnold smiled and replied. ¡°I will. I¡¯m d to see you well. I guess I was worried for nothing.¡± Indeed, he was very worried but after seeing Sheridan with his own eyes, he could now leave and be at peace that nothing bad would happen to her. ¡°Good you know,¡± Alpha Nick said, Arnold smiled and went to the room he was given at the pack house. ¡°Dad is sleeping so mom, let¡¯s go to my room to talk,¡± Alpha Nick said seriously and began walking upstairs but Sheridan sympathized with the middle¨Caged woman. ¡°She looks tired.¡± ¡°I know but we won¡¯t take much of her time, right?¡± Alpha Nick insisted, knowing that his mother would not mind. The three went to the second Alpha Chamber and Athena asked instantly. ¡°What is the problem? Sheridan is fine. Is that not enough? Athena did not hide her annoyance, feeling as if she was. being interrogated. The most important things had been done so she was no longer disturbed. ¡°No mom. There are a few things I want to know. It¡¯s about the magic pack. What do you know about it?¡± Athena stiffened a little befo she replied. ¡°It¡¯s just as the name sounds. Everything about it is magic and everyone there has some strange powers. The pack is not visible to the eye, as it¡¯s protected by magic.¡± ¡°How do we get in?¡± Alpha Nick asked again. If an attack on the magic pack would help him to end everything about Charlotte, then that would be great. ¡°Don¡¯t,¡± Athena said seriously, confusion clouded the atmosphere. All along. Athena told Alpha Nick to prepare for war. Now that he was ready to attack, she was telling them not to? ¡°But Charlotte is there. That is the only ce to get her, Alpha Nick exined slowly but Athena only shook her head. ¡°Don¡¯t fight the enemy in their strong hold. It would be better for the battle to be brought to your doorstep. If it involves Charlotte, she would be in for a surprise when shees here.¡± Alpha Nick recalled what happened during Charlotte¡¯s disappearance. There was so much chaos and he wondered if something of that sort happened again. Where did she suddenly get those powers from? Alpha Nick wondered. ¡°Then how do we fight pack members with magic?¡± He finally asked. Athena was tired from the long return travel but felt that without giving the appropriate answers to her son, neither of them would have a good night¡¯s sleep. ¡°You don¡¯t have to. Sheridan would only have to take out Charlotte. She must lead the war but you should be mindful of deception,¡± Athena cautioned them, Alpha Nick refused to go by that n. ¡°No way I would put her at risk. She has not even been coronated yet.¡± Athena did not want to be the one to say it but it was very necessary. ¡°Nick, Sherry has a history with Charlotte.¡± Surprise covered Alpha Nick¡¯s face as he stared at Sheridan. ¡°Is it true?¡± He asked, Sheridan nodded her head and began to exin it to him but wondered how Athena knew about it. ¡°We were best friends before 1 realized that for most times, she wanted me dead. I always escaped her traps. The day I was supposed to meet you at the restaurant and got therete, she had sent some thugs after me but ma¡¯am, how did you know this?¡± Before Athena could respond, Alpha Nick asked Sheridan. ¡°Why did you not tell me?¡± Sheridan was finding it hard to control her anger and to not remind him of the past. ¡°Are you seriously asking me that question?¡± She questioned, Alpha Nick instantly realized his mistake and apologized. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. It was all my fault.¡± Athena was only looking for a way to resolve everything and have some good sleep. It was time for Sheridan to know her level of importance to the Thorax family. ¡°Sherry, there is a family secret you have to know but it should not be shared with anyone else.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Sheridan answered due to her trust for Athena and the middle aged woman began to ex it to them. ¡°The Thorax family has some powers passed down to the first children. If you have a boy as a first child, the powers would cease to manifest until that boy grows into a man and marries a woman who gives birth to a girl.¡± Sheridan was quickly putting the pieces together. ¡°Was that the reason why you wanted to see Daisy?¡± Athena nodded her head and answered. ¡°Yes. I gave her the emerald bracelet you gave me but there are powers in it¡± Sheridan was beginning to understand the reason why Athena loved the bracelet so much. It was of good use to her. ¡°How does it work?¡± She asked. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. ¡°Because she¡¯s very young, it would only protect her but you as the mother, can harness the full potential of it until she gets her wolf,¡± Athena revealed, Sheridan was happy for the fact that she would be able to battle with Charlotte to end everything. ¡°You mean I can have some strange powers?¡± Sheridan was excited about this but the next exnation put her on the edge. ¡°Yes, and that was the reason I told you to take good care of the pendant. Now where is it?¡± She asked, Sheridan bit her lower lip thoughtfully. ¡°I didn¡¯t throw it away. I must be in my jewelry box. I just decided not to wear it because it had Nick¡¯s picture.¡± She was beginning to regret it upon realizing the importance but Alpha Nick took the me. ¡°I deserved it.¡± Sheridan had no idea exactly where she kept the pendant as she could not find it in the jewelry box. She began a search for it as she asked, ¡°What if I don¡¯t find it?¡± 241 PM D Çú SIND CHFE Chapter 116 Chapter 116 Ayer of sadness could be felt in the atmosphere. The pendant was thest piece of having Sheridan empowered to fight Charlotte. Athena¡¯s heart ached. She knew that Sheridan was upset with Nick then but did not think she would keep the pendant away because of that when it was from her. ¡°If you don¡¯t find it, then everything would be in vain, and the pack would be at great risk. There is no duplicate for the pendant. It¡¯s passed on from generation to generation, but I only harnessed the powers into the bracelet.¡± There was an air of relief in the air with this assurance. Sheridan ascertained. ¡°If the powers are safe, then it shouldn¡¯t be much trouble, right?¡± Sheridan was still searching as she asked the question. She had not had time to unpack her things and had equally refused for the maids to do it for her due to how she liked to arrange her things. ¡°That is true, but the powers would not be used, only protecting her until she gets her wolf,¡± Athena exined, bringing back their mind to the need for the pendant. She was certain that Sheridan had it somewhere. They had to find it by all means. ¡°Oh no,¡± Sheridan was disturbed. Athena tried to calm her by even helping her check her closet. With her luggage unpacked, it was more difficult than they imagined. ¡°Take your time and find it. I will go rest,¡± Athena finally said from exhaustion, but somehow, Sheridan felt that if she was unable to find it now, she might not be able to find it at all. ¡°No. I have to find it out. What if Charlotte attacks? What would I do? She has powers, so how can I fight her without any? Nick, this was all your fault. You have to help me.¡± Alpha Nick was ready to help but did not know how to do so. This was his first time sharing his room with any woman, so hecked knowledge in even helping her to unpack her things. Afraid of offending her, he remarked. ¡°Sure, but where do I search from here? Your things are well arranged, so I can¡¯t tell where either of your items are.¡±. Alpha Nick felt hopeless, as he hated disorganizing things. Sheridan was trying to remember thest time she picked up the pendant. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I remember picking it up when I was packing because I wanted to wear it before meeting ma¡¯am.¡± It suddenly clicked where she likely kept it. ¡°Oh, it should be in the handbag I came with.¡± She went in search of the handbag in question, and warmth returned to her voice when she found and lifted the pendant. ¡°Here, I got it¡± A relief sigh escaped Athena. She took it and said something neither Alpha Nick nor Sheridan could make out. The pendant glowed for the first time Sheridan ever saw it before Athena returned it to her. ¡°Make sure you wear it all the time. It would help you a great deal. Good night.¡± Sheridan instantly draped the pendant over her neck, determined to never remove nor lose it ever again. Good thing she and Alpha Nick got back together. As soon as Athena left, Sheridan was pinned on the bed. Nick could not have enough of her. ¡°Now, we have to finish what we started,¡± Nick purred. Sheridan giggled but was tired. However, she could not refuse him. Her only hope was for him to be fast through it all. ¡°You said training has to be early. You have to be fast¡± Alpha Nick stiffened instantly, not knowing how to rush through such a magical moment. ¡°That would mean bypassing forey. I¡¯m not so vile. Sleep¡± He wrapped his arms around her and spoke. Very soon, everything would be over, and he would be able to satisfy his beastly erotic desires. For now, he would just enjoy holding her in his arms as they sleep through the night, Early in the morning, the training room was filled to capacity. Alpha Ansaldo and Bree were there. Arnold was also ready to leave after seeing that Sheridan was indeed fine as Athena promised. Sheridan hugged her brother tightly. ¡°I will miss you, Arnold.¡± Arnold squinted a little and teased her. ¡°I don¡¯t think I would miss you so much after all I¡¯ve seen. You are in safe hands, and everybody loves you, Goldie is also here.¡± Goldie had decided to stay a few months at the pack before finding her mate, so she had already come prepared. Dustin shook Arnold¡¯s hand and said to him. ¡°Alpha Arnold, please tell Goldie¡¯s parents that I woulde to pay my respects when everything calms at the pack.¡± No one could exin how happy he was to see his sister and cousin so happy. He replied to Beta Dustin. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. They would be happy she found her mate after waiting for so long.¡± Arnold hugged Alpha Nick, Dustin, Goldie, Athena, Tedmond, Bree, and Alpha Ansaldo before sitting in his car and driving away. He could not wait to download all that he had to say to his father and the old beta upon his return to the Moonshine pack. N?velDrama.Org owns this text. During training, Alpha Nick was all smiles as he began to inform his excited pack members about all the changes that had taken ce. It was the first time he addressed the pack with so much happiness that nothing could wipe it away. Also, he had Sheridan by his side. It was unlike how he used to push Charlotte to the side when it was time for training. His voice was laced with pride. ¡°Our Luna is back, but we shall be having a formal wedding and coronation to properly wee her.¡± Sheridan quickly tightened her fingers around his, and he instantly lowered his ears to her level as she whispered. ¡°No need for a wedding. It¡¯s no longer a contract,¡± she reminded him, Alpha Nick kissed her on the forehead, earning cheers from the pack warriors before he pulled away and said to them. ¡°Our Luna says the coronation is enough, so there shall be no wedding. Bree has also found her mate, and that is Alpha Ansaldo,¡± The cheers suddenly calmed, and they began to murmur to Alpha Nick¡¯s hearing. ¡°So Bree is leaving us?¡± Alpha Nick thought they should rather be happy. ¡°Fortunately, yes, but you have your Luna.¡± The mood suddenly changed to a joyful one. ¡°Yes, we have our Alpha Ansaldo suddenly received a call, and after ending it, he spoke apologetically. ¡°Alpha Nick, there are guests waiting for me at the pack. I¡¯m afraid we have to leave but would invite you to our coronation.¡± ¡°I have to go and inform my mom,¡± Bree said and ran off. She entered her mother¡¯s room without knocking, surprised by what was happening Çú Chapter 117 Chapter 117 ¡°Mom, what are you doing?¡± Bree asked the sweaty Athena, who was in her workout clothes and jogging on the spot. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. From her appearance, she must have been at it for quite a while, and Tedmond was just watching without trying to stop her. Bree was puzzled. Her mother¡¯s health had not been good, and the only rmended exercise for her was walking. ¡°You should ask again,¡± Tedmond said, looking helpless. ¡°I¡¯ve asked the same question five times now and still haven¡¯t gotten a response. Maybe you¡¯ll be lucky and get the answer I¡¯ve been looking for.¡± Bree was disappointed that her dad wasn¡¯t making more of an effort to stop her mother. ¡°I thought Mom was sick.¡± ¡°I got better,¡± Athena quickly responded, showing no signs of stopping anytime soon. She was enjoying it because she was no longer sick. Throughout her life, she had been sick because of her powers. After giving them all away, it was time for her to reim her life. ¡°If you¡¯re better, then you should join the training. No one is stopping you,¡± Bree said, convinced that her mother must be hiding because she was afraid of what Alpha Nick might do if he found out. ¡°I want to see the level of my strength before I join the training,¡± Athena said, panting, slowly halting her movements. She was getting tired, but the fact that she had been at it for over thirty minutes assured her that she was ready to start. training again. She would never be the Luna of the pack, as that title was already taken, but she wouldn¡¯t let anything stop her from catching up on other things. ¡°I came to tell you that we are leaving. Do you want to say goodbye to Ansaldo?¡± Bree¡¯s attention returned to her reason for barging into her parents¡® room. Tedmond immediately pulled her into his warm embrace and as soon as he let go, Athena did the same. It was heart- wrenching to be separated from their daughter, but nobody could fight the mate bond. Bree had to be where her mate was, and there was nothing anyone could do about it. However, Athena had assumed she would stay longer, so this news dampened her excitement. ¡°Why are you leaving so soon?¡± She finally asked, and Bree exined hastily. ¡°Well, Ansaldo said there are some guests waiting for him, so we have to go! Athena¡¯s mood dampened. ¡°I will change ande to send you off.¡± Bree smirked. This was the first time she had seen her mother in workout clothes and thought she looked stunning. ¡°You look nice in your workout clothes,¡± Athena did not reject thepliment. In fact, she even felt younger than she was before. ¡°I know, but I don¡¯t want anyone to know about it yet,¡± she said seriously. Alpha Nick would not immediately believe that she was fine and would insist on her being careful with her health. ¡°But Mom, you have been sick all your life. How are you suddenly fit again?¡± Bree asked seriously. Athena did not know how to exin it to her. Des|Chart 242 PUB If only she hade first, then she would have been the most powerful Luna to have ever lived, but sadly, she came second andst. ¡°You are the only one who did not know about the family treasure, but it¡¯s fine. You are going to be Luna, and I will have something special for you before your coronation. You can leave with my blessing, but I will be there,¡± Athena said seriously. There was no way she would let Bree move to another pack without any form of protection. She had to prepare a special gift for her only biological daughter. ¡°Thank you, Mom. I love you.¡± Bree hugged and kissed Athena on the check. ¡°And Dad.¡± She kissed her father too, and they both replied. ¡°We love you too.¡± In the training room, before Alpha Nick dismissed the warriors, he decided to pique their interest by announcing. ery ¡°There is another surpriseing, but you will see it very soon.¡± The expressions on the faces of the people present were priceless as they began to murmur, ¡°Alpha, please tell us now.¡± Sheridan partly guessed it was about Daisy and couldn¡¯t help but smile at the thought of Alpha Nick taking full responsibility as a father. ¡°Hey, I deserve to know, right? Your sister is my mate,¡± Alpha Ansaldo felt neglected for being left out of the suspense. Alpha Nick tapped himfortingly on the back before informing him, ¡°Even Bree doesn¡¯t know, so I will only let you know when the time is right. But remember to set the date for the coronation in advance and let us know beforehand.¡± Alpha Ansaldo was slightly disappointed but decided to wait. ¡°Okay. I will be expecting you.¡± After seeing Bree and Alpha Ansaldo off, Alpha Nick had a meeting with Sheridan, Dustin, and Goldie in his office. ¡°Sheridan already knows some aspects of our pack business and finances, so Goldie, you will have to learn from Dustin. Since the four of us are the pirs of the pack, it would be nice if you could share ideas on how to improve it. Alpha Nick wanted to improve the lives of his pack members and was considering establishing more businesses. That was his main reason for attending the g awards, but things turned out differently. Well, he might not have gotten the businesses he had hoped for, but he had nted a seed that resulted in a treasure of joy. Sheridan was very interested in this discussion as she had been looking forward to getting busy again. ¡°Regarding the business aspect, I think I can employ some pack members at Shelly¡¯s Couture and mour. We can change the name to Moon Couture and mour,¡± she suggested, but Alpha Nick shook his head. How could he be so selfish as to allow her to do that? ¡°That is your hard work. I won¡¯t allow it.¡± Sheridan forced a smile. What was she going to do with all those businesses anyway? They would continue to expand and would be too much for Daisy to manage alone in the future. ¡°The pack is also your hard work. I only helped for six months. If we are mates, then everything we have belongs to each other, right?¡± She stared Alpha Nick in the eyes and spoke seriously. The direction of the conversation didn¡¯t give Alpha Nick the opportunity to refuse. ¡°You really won¡¯t take no for an 2:42 PM answer, will you?¡± ¡°Never. I want everyone to be better than they were before I came. I will still focus on the weak warriors after my coronation. Goldie can assist me with that. She is a very strong she¨Cwolf,¡± Sheridan asserted. The weak warriors were dear to her heart, making them her priority, but Alpha Nick had something else of greater importance to say¡­ Çú Chapter 118 Chapter 118 ¡°I don¡¯t doubt it, and that brings us to attacks,¡± Alpha Nick mentioned, all expressions turned to one of seriousness. ¡°Dustin, we are sure of Charlotte¡¯s return, and the charcoal is the main thing to repel her,¡± Alpha Nick recalled and spoke. Then Sheridan gave her suggestion. ¡°If we get the sign that she¡¯s here with whichever army, it would be ideal for us to also not let her go. I would meet her outside the pack, and Nick, you can order the warriors to lock the gates or defend whichever enemiese in.¡± Alpha Nick disagreed. ¡°Even if you are the one to face her, I would never allow you to do so alone. Dustin and Goldie can take care of the enemies in the pack, and both of us would face Charlotte.¡± Sheridan was speechless. ¡°Are you afraid that I can¡¯t defeat her?¡± Alpha Nick chuckled, knowing she was a tough one. ¡°That isn¡¯t the point. I would just be there to cheer you on,¡± he said, and everyoneughed. Sheridan pinched him yfully. ¡°I never believed you could crack such jokes at a time like this.¡± Alpha Nick shrugged and leaned in. ¡°You look so hot when you put on that serious expression.¡± Sheridan¡¯s face was red, climbing to her ears. Dustin and Goldie could only smile at the interaction. Dustin never saw Alpha Nick so happy in his life, and Goldie never remembered seeing Sheridan blush so much. Love indeed had the power to change even the most powerful couple. Dustin recalled his role in the whole thing and stated. ¡°I would always make sure we have enough charcoal, but I will also task the omegas to begin nting more trees. During thest attack, we had a lot of fallen trees¡± Alpha Nick recalled those attacks. The moment their wolves took over, everything was disorganized, and the trees suffered most. With the packs, trees were their very essence of living, hiding their packs from being chanced on by humans. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°That is remarkable, but I want you to be on the lookout. I don¡¯t intend to ept any invitation to any pack until Charlotte is dead,¡± Alpha Nick said coldly. He could not wait to coronate Sheridan as his Luna. The first time, they got married by contract with a wedding meant for Charlotte. Alpha Nick wanted to give Sheridan everything he never gave, and that included her dignity. Since she did not want the wedding, the coronation was going to be one of the best the packs ever had. ¡°I would make sure the warriors are equally always on the alert,¡± Beta Dustin said solemnly. He too could not wait for Daisy to be united with her pack. Fighting with a bunch of people drowned in magic was not going to be easy, but the Dark Moon Pack was ready for them. s there anything else somebody would want to contribute?¡± No one spoke up, and just as Alpha Nick was about to hd the meeting, that voice he loved to hear so much spoke. ¡°Yes, but you have to promise to not be upset,¡± Sheridan suddenly said. Alpha Nick frowned a little, wondering what could make him so upset. ʾ 2:47 PM Shaking his head, he replied honestly, ¡°I promise. I won¡¯t be upset. Please go ahead,¡± Sheridan stood up and walked to the door, opened and left it ajar. Everyone was confused. ¡°Sherry, just say you want. Alpha Nick was getting worried, but Sheridanughed suddenly. ¡°Whoever is thest to reach the packhouse would do the dishes after lunch. No servants involved.¡± She ran away as soon as she said the word, and naturally, even if Alpha Nick did not understand her game, he wanted to be wherever she was and chased after her. Beta Dustin and Goldie understood it toote, but Goldie was the one to escape first. ¡°Seems like you¡¯ll be the one to do the dishes.¡± Dustin ran after her, and Goldie almost crashed into Athena. ¡°Who is chasing you?¡± Athena was disturbed, but as Goldie looked around, neither Sheridan nor Alpha Nick was in sight. ¡°We were just ying a game. Whoever got herest would do the dishes. I guess that falls on Dustin.¡± Athena chuckled. ¡°It¡¯s true that people don¡¯t really grow. There is still a child in every adult.¡± In Alpha Nick¡¯s room, he thought Sheridan was in the bedroom, but there was no indication of her. ¡°Sherry, where are you?¡± He asked worriedly. He saw her running to the packhouse, and if she was not in the living room or kitchen, then where could she probably be?¡± Seemed the game changed to hide and seek. He went to the shower room, but it was empty. Frowning a little, he went to the closet. There was no sign of Sheridan, except that the trainers she wore from earlier were neatly arranged on the shoe rack. Alpha Nick slowly removed his trainers, arranging them beside hers. ¡°I know you are in here, Sherry,¡± he began to open the wardrobes one by one when warm arms wrapped around him. ¡°I thought you were going to track me with my scent, but seems you are unpredictable.¡± Her fingers slipped into his shirt, caressing his firm toned muscles. She leaned in and kissed his back. Alpha Nick quickly turned her around. ¡°You love to y, don¡¯t you?¡± His voice was husky, his gaze dark. Sheridan stared into his dark eyes with desire. ¡°It depends on what you mean by that. I guess you all misunderstood the game.¡± She bit her lower lip seductively. ¡°What are you talking about?¡± Alpha Nick was confused. Sheridan did not hold off for so long and exined, ¡°Well, you are my lunch. Do you understand now?¡± Alpha Nick smirked when he caught the meaning of her words. ¡°You are just full of surprises. Bending over slightly, his hands pressed her hips and lifted her up. She wrapped her slender legs around his waist. With a thumping heart, her desires escted, and she thought he was carrying her to the bed. She was amazed when he sat on the sofa in the closet and positioned her facing him on hisp. A tearing sound was heard and her blouse fell off her body as he instantly unhooked her bra, revealing her hard erected nipples. ¡°I¡¯m surprised you didn¡¯t tear the bra too,¡± Sheridan spoke in deep pants, her body¡¯s excitement eager for his next move. ReelShort ¡°That¡¯s because I like it better than the blouse. Alpha Nick¡¯s voice was filled with desire as he instantly took her nipple in his mouth a moan escaped her. ¡°Arhhh.¡± His fingers skillfully caressed her warm slender body, positioning her on top of his erected manhood, still covered by his sweatpants ed her neck ¡°Washing the dishes meant pleasuring you, right?¡± His fingers caressed her hard nipples and sucked. hungrily. ¡°Arhhhh. Nick, stop teasing me.¡± Sheridan slipped her fingers into his training shirt and removed it before she lifted her waist a little, pulling down his sweatpants and boxers together, revealing his large erected manhood. Alpha Nick stopped her before her hand reached it, and she was visibly upset. ¡°Please Nick, stop teasing me. I want ¡°Don¡¯t you think you should beg for it?¡± He slipped his finger into her pants, feeling her wetness. ¡°Uhhhhmmmm, tell me, how long have you wanted this, ha?¡± His voice was heavy with desire, but he could not stop teasing her. Sheridan¡¯s face flushed red. ¡°Does it matter?¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t tell me, I would only tease you more.¡± His finger dug in and out of her wetness as he sucked her nipple. Sheridan threw her head backwards, pushing her chest forward and giving him more ess to her breast. ¡°Since I woke up. I¡¯ve always wanted it. Sheridan said truthfully. ¡°So. I wasn¡¯t the only one, but I wonder how you are able to put on that innocence, Sherry, as if you don¡¯t have feelings His finger thrust deeper, she squirmed in his arms, and a loud moan escaped her when he bit her nipple slightly.¡± ¡°Nick please.¡± Alpha Nick pulled out his finger, instantly recing it with his hard, erected manhood. She gasped. ¡°You are still so big. She was full as if she was going to tear into two. ¡°You wanted it.¡± His voice was filled with want. ¡°I do¡± Sheridan began to move in upward and down motions, riding on him like her world depended on it. They lost touch with time by the time they were done with each other but unable to break from the intimate position. Sheridan was almost asleep when the sound of her phone startled her. Without breaking from their position, Alpha Nick carried her to the nightstand to retrieve her phone. ¡°Tell the person you are busy. We have to shower together,¡± he instructed her. Sheridan agreed, especially when it was a strange number. ¡°Hello¡± ¡°She it¡¯s me. Charlotte. ReelShort Chapter 119 Chapter 119 The mention of the familiar name caused every ligament in Sheridan to shrink. She forcefully freed herself from the sweet entangled position she was in before, causing Alpha Nick¡¯s brow to crease. He was disturbed until he heard the name. ¡°Charlotte, how shameful of you to escape the death the pack carefully nned out for you?¡± Sheridan taunted, but Alpha Nick was surprised to hear the cursed name. He signaled Sheridan to put the phone on speaker, and sheplied. Charlotte¡¯s voice came through. ¡°You are the one destined to die.¡± Angerced her voice like she wanted to eat Sheridan raw. ¡°What? I would take back everything you took from me before.¡± Alpha Nick¡¯s fingers balled tightly, his knuckles turning white. How he wished that Charlotte was facing them before spouting nonsense. Warmth surged through his soul when Sheridan responded rather unfazed. ¡°It¡¯s not the first time I¡¯ve heard those words, but why don¡¯t you show your face for us to end it all?¡± After failing to kill Sheridan after multiple attempts, Charlotte decided to trust Goliath¡¯s strategy to seed this time. so how could she show her face when the time was not right? ¡°Hahaha, Sheridan. I would not make that mistake.¡± For a moment, Sheridan was tempted to expose Charlotte¡¯s location, but that would only make the latter change her tactics. It was better for Charlotte to think they were not ready for her and be met with a pleasant surprise. ¡°Then why did you call me? I doubt it¡¯s because you want to hear my sweet voice.¡± Sheridan bragged, proud of the fact that her voice was indeed melodious. Charlotte was so mad. It was a sin for one woman to have all that other women coveted. ¡°I just want you to be aware that being forced to reject him does not count. Nick is still mine, and I wille back for him.¡± Alpha Nick would have responded to point out her madness, but Sheridan pressed her forefinger to her lips with the silent message that it was fine. ¡°You said the same about all those men I had no interest in, so what else do you have to say?¡± Sheridan responded in a mocking tone, causing Charlotte¡¯s defenses to crumble. Then she remembered her biggest bargaining chip. He was all she needed now, regret heavy on her heart for not marking him before when she was the only one he saw back then. If only her evil wolf could take her into her past to make the correction, Sheridan would not even stand a chance of having or standing by Alpha Nick. ¡°Sheridan, I know that Nick doesn¡¯t love you. Everything he did or is still doing is just to get back at me. In other words, to make me jealous.¡± ¡°Pfft.¡± Sheridan chuckled. ¡°You are wrong about that. We fell in love with each other even before knowing we were mates. Isn¡¯t that magical?¡± Her eyes lit up as she stared into Nick¡¯s eyes On the other side of the line, Charlotte still could not believe it but was certain that her little trick would work very well. ReelShort ¡°We shall see who Nick truly loves. Whether it¡¯s me or you.¡± Sheridan scoffed. ¡°You must be dumb to even think about the probability of him loving you.¡± The call ended instantly, and she could tell that Charlotte was upset. ¡°I know I don¡¯t deserve it, but I¡¯m proud that you are mine.¡± Nick¡¯s lips locked with hers in kisses so deep that she was left breathless. ¡°Didn¡¯t you talk about going to shower?¡± Sheridan asked through pants when he finally pulled away. His desirous gaze still lingered on her, as her question rather skyrocketed his desire for her. He wanted to much to bury himself inside of her, as the mark was not enough for him. With a darkened gaze, Nick pushed her onto the bed. ¡°I changed my mind.¡± By the time he was done with her, Sheridan could not feel her legs. ¡°Nick, you are such a monster. What have you done to me?¡± Her body ached and her wolf would not heal for from the pleasure pains Nick sucked her already sore nipples. ¡°That is for running away and making me miss you for so long,¡± he smirked. Kissing her breast again, he finally rose from the bed and lifted her into his arms and into the bathroom. Sheridan was happy. Nick made her happy, but she could not help thinking about what schemes Charlotte had up her sleeves. ¡°Nick, if you even make a mistake or allow a charm to blindfold you into choosing Charlotte over me ever again, I swear by the moon goddess that you would never see me or Daisy ever again.¡± Nick was g gently massaging Sheridan¡¯s aching muscles withther from the Jacuzzi when she suddenly spoke up. His hand around her body stiffened. ¡°You don¡¯t trust me?¡± He was almost in tears. It was his fault if she did not trust him but he was still desperate for it ¡°I trust you, but I want to trust you even more, Nick. My heart is not made of stone, and I won¡¯t be able to take another heartbreak. Alpha Nick could feel her pain through the mate bond, and it saddened his soul. ¡°Sherry, I might not be perfect, but I promise that yours and Daisy¡¯s happiness would be paramount to everything in my life.¡± Sheridan pursed her lips and wrapped her arms around him, their naked, soapy bodies pressed together. ¡°I believe you,¡± Sheridan said softly. Alpha Nick was instantly hard, as if he hadn¡¯t done it for a long time. ¡°Oh, Sherry, I¡¯m afraid I would have to take you right here, in this Jacuzzi.¡± Sheridan¡¯s eyes widened. Was he trying to kill her with sex? ¡°What did you say?¡± Pleasurably, Sheridan¡¯s pleas turned into needs as Alpha Nick made love to her in the Jacuzzi. Strangely, she felt better after it, and just as her body touched the bed, her phone rang again. Thinking it was Charlotte, she was about to switch it off when she saw Bree¡¯s name and answered it. Bree sounded teary. ¡°Sherry, please, I need your help.¡± N?velDrama.Org owns this text. ReclShort Chapter 120 Chapter 120 ReclShort At the River Bed pack. Alpha Ansaldo¡¯s driver packed the car and went around to open the door for him. Getting out. he then went around and opened the door for Bree. It was already night, so the pack house was quiet with only a few warriors around. They stared at Bree curiously but did not dare to ask their Alpha about her presence in their pack. ¡°Wee to your new home. I hope you like it?¡± Alpha Ansaldo extended his hand to Bree, and she took it before stepping out gently from the car. Bree looked around her surroundings with satisfaction and smiled at him ¡°Well, the only reason I like it is because of you,¡± she replied. Ansaldo¡¯s hand lowered to her waist as she stood beside him. ¡°I¡¯m d you like me better than the house,¡± he said, kissing her cheek. The warriors were surprised but already sensed a big problem waiting. As soon as they entered the pack house, Alpha Ansaldo¡¯s father met him heartily. ¡°Nick, you arrived on time. I just married Abilene, the daughter of Alpha Gaius from the East Red Pack, for you.¡± The smile on Bree¡¯s face froze as the woman, who looked pretty with a beautiful smile, approached Ansaldo as if Bree was not even there. ¡°Call me Abi. My father is already making arrangements for us to merge our packs because he¡¯s old. Ansaldo, your power would greatly increase,¡± she said softly, pitching it in his favor. Alpha Ansaldo was momentarily lost, only bing aware of his surroundings when a hand caressed his chest. His expression changed. ¡°You are moving faster than your legs. Pack up and go back to your pack. I already found my mate,¡± Alpha Ansaldo revealed. Not only Abilene but even his father looked displeased. ¡°Nick. I hope you are joking.¡± his father said before casting a re at Bree. ¡°Who is she?¡± It was as if her presence was not noticed the first time. Alpha Nick pulled down his neck cor a little and showed his father the mark. ¡°We already marked each other, and this is Bree Thorax. Does it ring a bell?¡± ¡°Thorax: Alpha Nick¡¯s sister?¡± His father asked, looking surprised. He had heard about Alpha Nick¡¯s sister but had never met her. ¡°Yes, she is. It was when I went for the business coboration between our packs that I realized my mate had been there waiting for me all this while. She is an amazing woman, and I hope that everybody makes her feel wee.¡± He was talking to his father as if Abilene did not exist or was not standing in front of him. Abilene saw the middle¨Caged man ready to give in but could not ept her loss. If no one would speak for her, then she would do so by herself. ¡°What do we do now? I already signed the marriage certificate on your behalf,¡± his father said worriedly. Then he blinked ¡°It¡¯s your fault, Nick. You should have called to inform me the moment you found out she was your mate.¡± ReelShort Alpha Ansaldo did not know how to exin it but tried anyway. ¡°There was a lot going on at the Dark Moon Pack, and I had just found my mate. What was the rush when I was equally bringing her to this pack?¡± N?velDrama.Org owns this text. The atmosphere grew ufortable as Abilene stared at Bree with contempt. Her pack might be big, but the Dark Moon Pack was bigger, and Alpha Nick was greatly feared. However, she was determined to merge the River Bed Pack with hers to give it security. For as long as she was concerned, they had to marry for business gains. ¡°She is your mate, and we are married. You know thews that when one does not wait for their destined mate and marries another, he has to wait at least three full moons before initiating a divorce. I have to stay here for at least three months if you want peace.¡± Abilene¡¯s voice was soft, but Alpha Ansaldo did not miss the subtle threat in them. After how long he searched for his mate and even tried to have Sheridan for himself, he would never let his mate go for a mistake his father made. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but that rule does not apply in this situation. You married my father, not me,¡± he pointed out. Abilene paled at the analysis. ¡°How can you say that? It¡¯s your name on the certificate.¡± Alpha Ansaldo did not beat about the bush. ¡°That was also without my consent. If you had the agreement with my father because you were desperate, then marry the widower. We share the same name anyway.¡± Alpha Ansaldo grabbed Bree¡¯s arm and walked her upstairs without saying anything more. In his room. Bree could not even admire the d¨¦cor as she kept thinking about Abilene. She remembered what she had done to Sheridan as a contract wife. Was this her karma? In her case, she was not the contract wife but could not help being afraid. Alpha Ansaldo noticed how distant she seemed and asked worriedly. ¡°Are you alright? You did not take her words seriously, did you?¡± Bree wanted to say that she didn¡¯t, but that would be a lie. ¡°I can¡¯t help it. I was mean to Sheridan before.¡± ¡°And she forgave you, just as she forgave me. Don¡¯t worry. I will introduce you to the pack tomorrow, but let me call. your personal maid to attend to your needs.¡± Bree did not stop him, and as soon as the door closed, she took out her phone and called Sheridan, sounding teary. ¡°Sherry, please, I need your help.¡± ¡°Bree, what is the matter?¡± Sheridan asked, disturbed. Alpha Nick was equally curious at the mention of his sister and was about to speak when he heard Bree¡¯s voice. ¡°Are you with Nick?¡± ¡°Yes. Do you want to speak to him?¡± Sheridan asked, feeling that Nick¡¯s phone must have been on silent mode. ¡°No. I want you away from him. Please don¡¯t let him know it¡¯s me on the line,¡± Bree said. Sheridan stared at Alpha Nick apologetically before returning to the shower room and locking the door. ¡°Now tell me everything. I¡¯m all ears.¡± Sheridan was not expecting the question that came from Bree, as she knew it was going rob her from her sleep. É« SEND GIFT Chapter 122 Chapter 122 Alpha Ansaldo went to fetch the maid for Bree. ¡°Aisha, our Luna is here, and you must take care of everything she needs. Answer every question she asks and make sure she¡¯s happy.¡± His expression was stern as he gave instructions concerning Bree. He noticed that neither his father nor Abilene were around and felt relieved. ¡°Yes, Alpha. Please, when will she be coronated?¡± Aisha asked politely, finding it hard to contain her excitement. There was something else she wanted to say but found herself holding back. Alpha Ansaldo could not set the date without discussing it with Bree and answered. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Very soon. Now hurry and make sure she¡¯sfortable. If she wants any changes done in the room, no need to ask me: He did not want Bree to miss her former pack, so everything should just be the way she liked it. ¡°Yes, Alpha,¡± Aisha responded and headed upstairs to the Alpha¡¯s chamber. Alpha Ansaldo was about to summon his beta for a short meeting when someone barged into the pack house with three warriors. A frown contoured Alpha Ansaldo¡¯s features the moment he recognized the person. ¡°Alpha Gaius, please show respect to my packhouse.¡± Alpha Caius was Abilene¡¯s father, so Alpha Ansaldo could subtly guess his reason for being there and why he looked upset. A scornful look shone in Alpha Gaius¡¯s eyes, and his voice oozed with dismay. ¡°You don¡¯t deserve respect for disrespecting my daughter.¡± The tone of his voice and the attitude he showed was beginning to annoy Alpha Ansaldo, so he decided to put age aside and address the matter as a middle¨Caged man before him. ¡°Then take her with you. I am the Alpha of this pack. Could you not wait for my return? I was away for just three days, for goddess¡® sake.¡± It was clear that this arrangement would not have been done had Alpha Ansaldo been present. Alpha Caius revealed, ¡°Your father said you kept brushing the matter aside, and he feared the pack would never have a Luna¡± The subtle understanding of everything caused Alpha Ansaldo¡¯s anger to surge, earning Alpha Gaius a sarcastic response from him. ¡°So, since you decided to marry your daughter to my father, it stays that way.¡± ¡°Stop insulting my intelligence. You are young enough to be my son,¡± Alpha Gaius raged, losing control of his temper. How could he endure the disappointment after informing other Alphas of a pending coronation of his daughter as the Luna of the Riverbed pack? Alpha Ansaldo was not making it any easier for him as well. ¡°And you are old enough to be my father, but it doesn¡¯t change the fact that I am still the Alpha of this pack.¡± Not having any ns of backing down, a threat was issued in Alpha Ansaldo¡¯s way. ¡°If you are sending my daughter away, then you have to prepare for war.¡± 1/3 ¡°Bring it on. Your daughter is not my mate, and I would not ept her as my wife,¡± Alpha Ansaldo responded seriously. If the Riverbed pack was going to war with the East Red Pack because of Bree, he was ready for it. ¡°Alright. You wait until I finish dealing with that mate of yours,¡± Alpha Gaius threatened, and Alpha Ansaldo lost control of the fact that his mate was being targeted. A punch on the face of the older Alpha caused him to stumble backward as shock registered on his face. ¡°You hit me?¡± There was no remorse on the face of Alpha Ansaldo as he responded. ¡°And I will do so again. The next time you threaten my mate, I would kill you, and before you do anything silly, just bear in mind that you shall not only be going against me but the whole Dark Moon pack.¡± The mention of the Dark Moon pack caused Alpha Gaius to panic slightly. ¡°You think Alpha Nick has so much time on his hands to give you his support!¡± Alpha Ansaldo sneered. ¡°At least for his sister, he would always make time.¡± ¡°What has his sister got to do with this?¡± Alpha Caius was getting confused, and the strength of his voice weakened. drastically as Alpha Ansaldo revealed. ¡°She is my mate.¡± The news was like a bullet to him as he never heard about it. Now, he was wondering if his daughter had any knowledge of this before calling to inform him about Alpha Ansaldo¡¯s refusal. ¡°Mate?¡± He began to look around for his daughter, and when he could not find her, he called out. ¡°Abi, why did you not tell me that Alpha Ansaldo found his mate?¡± Abilene was descending the stairs from the room she was hosted with a guilty expression. ¡°Dad, what does it change? We can¡¯t be divorced until after three months, and yet, he wants me to go.¡± Her voice broke from time to time as she spoke. Her father was now filled with regret, but his age and pride could not allow him to apologize to a younger Alpha. ¡°Alpha Ansaldo, please let her stay for just three months, and you can divorce her,¡± he said politely. However, Alpha Ansaldo had no intention of holding off Bree¡¯s coronation for such a long period of time. ¡°Well, I don¡¯t mind if she stays, but I am sending letters for Bree to be coronated in a week.¡± k ¡°What? That would be an insult to us,¡± Alpha Caius yelled, unable to think of a way to ovee the shame.. At this point, he wanted so much to see Ansaldo¡¯s father to plead with him to talk to his son. ¡°I don¡¯t know why I should care about that. I never announced that she was my wife, so I don¡¯t see the insult here.¡± A cold retort met Alpha Gaius¡¯s words, and he confessed guiltily. ¡°But I did in my pack.¡± Alpha Ansaldo shook his head at the level of stupidity of a man of his age. ¡°And they were stupid enough to believe it when I did not turn up?¡± He asked in a mocking tone, and Alpha Gaius made a final request. ¡°Look, you have toe up with something, but you can¡¯t have that coronation.¡± Alpha Ansaldo was about to retort when his phone vibrated, and seeing the caller, it was Alpha Nick. His heart thumped, hoping that Bree had not told him. Chapter 123 Chapter 123 Earlier ¡°What did she say? How is she? Alpha Nick asked as soon as Sheridan stepped out of the shower room. He was very worried. A puzzled smile stretched Sheridan¡¯s lips. Knowing that Alpha Nick cared so much about his sister, Sheridan was finding it hard to keep the information to herself. ¡°Nothing. She was just calling to inform me that she arrived safe and sound.¡± Alpha Nick knew she was lying or perhaps Sheridan forgot they marked each other and could feel each other¡¯s emotions. ¡°Why are you lying to me? Did you forget we were mates?¡± Sheridan stiffened at the reminder. Alpha Nick looked upset and could even drive to the Riverbed pack if she continued to keep it from him. ¡°It¡¯s just something Bree can handle on her own. Women talk,¡± she said seriously, hoping to soothe his anger, but due to trying to keep it from him earlier, he insisted, ¡°I still want to know.¡± After careful thought, Sheridan spoke. ¡°Unless you promise not to interfere in everything going on.¡± A dry smile escaped Alpha Nick. If there was something going on with Bree, he wanted to know and did not n on stopping. ¡°That depends. If her life is at risk, then I won¡¯t obey you.¡± Sheridan gave up and began to exin it calmly. ¡°Alpha Ansaldo¡¯s father married for him, Abilene, the daughter of the Alpha of the East Red Pack by the time they arrived at the pack.¡± Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. A deep frown contoured Alpha Nick¡¯s handsome features. He did not like this at all. ¡°That old man. Why does heck patience? I don¡¯t think that Bree can handle this on her own.¡± He was ready to go speak some sense into Alpha Gaius and Ansaldo¡¯s father, but Sheridan made a revtion. ¡°Then you don¡¯t know her as much as you think you do.¡± Alpha Nick was not surprised that Sheridan knew some things about Bree that he did not. ¡°Let me call Ansaldo since Bree does not want to tell me.¡± Sheridan regretted telling him. ¡°Now you would make it obvious that I can¡¯t keep secrets.¡± A genuine smile stretched Alpha Nick¡¯s lips as he assured her, ¡°No, I won¡¯t.¡± He dialed Alpha Ansaldo¡¯s number, ensuring that Sheridan heard everything by activating the speaker button. Somehow, Alpha Ansaldo answered the phone on the fourth ring and sounded a little nervous. ¡°Alpha Nick.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you think we should drop the title as inws?¡± Alpha Nick was calm, and at the end of the line, Alpha Gaius was surprised when Alpha Ansaldo addressed Alpha Nick without his title, Alpha Ansaldo calmed down when he realized that Bree had not told her brother as he thought. ¡°Nick, I forgot to 11:05 §¡§® inform you that we arrived safely.¡± At the end of the line, Alpha Nick let out a tight smile. ¡°Alright. That is what I wanted to know, but how is my sister and how is she adjusting?¡± Alpha Nick asked, hoping that Alpha Ansaldo would trust him with the information, but Alphas had pride. Alpha Ansaldo was relieved that Bree had not told him. Until things were out of hand, some of them would never ask for help. ¡°She¡¯s with her personal maid. I want her to change whatever she wants. You know how everything here might seem different to her¡± ¡°I see. So have you set a date yet?¡± Alpha Nick asked, hoping to get the information he needed this time. After all, Bree would not be coronated if there was another woman, forced or not, to marry Alpha Ansaldo. ¡°I¡¯m deliberating on it, but I don¡¯t think it would be more than a week,¡± Alpha Ansaldo revealed his n, being too eager to coronate Bree for all the packs to know about his Luna. However, Alpha Nick had a problem with the timeline. After thinking about Charlotte¡¯sst call, it was obvious that she was going to attack when they least expected it. Everybody had to be ready. Her call meant she might try something funny, and if that happened, then he might miss out on his sister¡¯s coronation. ¡°Make it two weeks. I heard Charlotte is still alive somewhere. Until I deal with her, I don¡¯t want to leave the pack, and mom would want to be there too,¡± Alpha Nick said honestly since Alpha Ansaldo already knew about what happened. with Charlotte. ¡°Sure, Nick, for your sake, I¡¯ll make it two weeks.¡± Alpha Ansaldo was ring at Alpha Gaius while responding to the call. ¡°Alright. Let me have a word with my sister,¡± Alpha Nick finally said, epting that he would not get the information he needed from Ansaldo. ¡°Okay, hold on.¡± Alpha Ansaldo left Alpha Gaius without any courtesies. When he entered the room, Bree was about to speak when. Ansaldo addressed the maid. a ¡°Aisha, excuse us.¡± Aisha obeyed, and only then he turned to Bree. ¡°Your brother is on the line. I will go take care of a few things.¡± He left after giving the phone to her, though sensing her nervousness. Going back to the living room where Alpha Gaius and Abilene still stood puzzled, he said to Alpha Gaius. ¡°This is my suggestion. Send her to the human world for a year until the news of the marriage dies down. Within that time, we can also work on the divorce. Or, she stays and watches my mate get coronated in two weeks.¡± Alpha Gaius and his daughter were conflicted, as they had not mentioned the main reason for wanting the marriage so urgently. 11:05 AM Chapter 124 Chapter 124 Alpha Gaius stared at his daughter, and she stared back at him. The matter at hand was too heavy for their mouths to speak of. Abilene, especially, did not want her father to say it, but Alpha Gaius was equally desperate to get Alpha Ansaldo¡¯s help. Taking deep breaths, he realized he was still standing ever since he barged in, weing himself to the pack house. Feeling his knees weaken, he suddenly offered himself a seat as he sank into the sofa ¡°Alpha Ansaldo, I will be honest with you. I don¡¯t have much time to live, and Abilene is not capable of handling the pack alone. It was my desire that your marriage would merge both packs to be under your rulership with her assistance.¡± Those words sounded very familiar to Alpha Ansaldo, as Abilene mentioned it the moment he arrived at the pack house. The only difference was Abilene had not added the part where her father was sick, but that was still not enough to convince him to dy Bree¡¯s coronation. ¡°What about her mate?¡± Alpha Ansaldo asked. Alpha Gaius shook his head. This was another difficult situation for him, but Abilene was sending silent pleas to her father to not say it. It was either her father had not seen the signs or decided to ignore them, most probably due to frustration. ¡°He¡¯s worthless.¡± Ansaldo nodded his head in understanding. Abilene must have been mated to someone of low birth and hade to force herself on him because he was an Alpha. Well, not everybody was born an Alpha. It was bestowed on some people, and others were voted for it. No matter the stage involved, the underlying fact remained that whoever was currently mated to Abilene was on the journey of bing the Alpha of the pack if Alpha Gaius loses his life. ¡°Nobody is worthless. If you can tell me who he is, I might plead with my brother¨Cinw to help train him for you.¡± That¡¯s Alpha Ansaldo did not want any entanglement with the East Red pack. People like them were better handled by someone like Alpha Nick. ¡°He is an Omega. What would we gain by making him an Alpha?¡± Disgustced the tone of Alpha Gaius, and Alpha Ansaldo stared pitifully at him. ¡°If the moon goddess paired your daughter with an omega, then there must be a good reason behind it.¡± ¡°I already made her reject him,¡± Alpha Gaius unremorsefully dered. His confidence was soon returning due to how Alpha Ansaldo gave him so much attention and even sat beside him. There was already a problem looming above the Red East pack due to what they had done. Who knew what that Omega was and if he would even be a better Alpha than some of those born one. Advice was the only thing Ansaldo had for him. If he takes it, fine, but if he doesn¡¯t, there was nothing anyone could do about it. ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s toote. If he has not yet found a second chance mate, let her plead with him to res il- rejection.¡± Both the father and daughter were upset by the suggestion. Were they different from those with such great opportunities? ¡°Plead with an omega or go back to beg him, never.¡± Abilene¡¯s voice was so loud that Ansaldo felt ashamed for her. Did she not fear that the maids would hear about what she did and spread out rumors? Her father was d that his daughter refused the suggestion and revealed his other thoughts. If she could just stay in this pack even for a few days, she would know how to win Alpha Ansaldo¡¯s heart, so everything boiled down to Abilene¡¯s stay at the pack. Alpha Ansaldo was quick enough to wash his hands of everything. ¡°Then you are on your own. I hope it won¡¯t be toote by the time youe to your senses.¡± Ansaldo was not even smiling, making Abilene wonder about how her carefully crafted intents would be put into y. ¨C ¡°Okay, let me just stay here for a few days to think about it.¡± Ansaldo could not refuse since she was an Alpha¡¯s daughter but thought it wise to warn her seriously. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. ¡°Well, you must promise to not cause trouble, or I¡¯ll make sure you don¡¯t make it back to your pack alive.¡± Fear shone in Abilene¡¯s eyes, but she was certain to execute her ns carefully to not provoke suspicion. ¡°I promise I won¡¯t cause you any form of trouble,¡± she said seriously, though not meaning it.. In the Alpha Chamber, Bree was on the phone with her brother. ¡°Nick, I said I¡¯m fine. Everything is going well.¡± It was the fiftieth time she had said it, but it seemed her brother did not believe it. He also could not expose her due to his promise to Sheridan. ¡°If you are certain about it, then I will end the call now. If you ever face any trouble, don¡¯t forget to always call,¡± Alpha Nick finally said, earning a relief sigh from Bree. ¡°I won¡¯t forget,¡± she said truthfully. If things got out of hand, she would, of course, use her brother¡¯s help if it was too much for her, though she nned to remain strong all through it. Alpha Ansaldoter had a meeting with his beta as Bree focused on making herselffortable with Aisha¡¯s help. Most things in the room with their positions had all changed, but Ansaldo did not comin, happy that she was making the room like hers. It also meant she was adjusting well. The next day, Bree had to wake up early for training, though exhausted from all the bedmatics in the night. Alpha Ansaldo could not just get enough of her and was determined to give her all the satisfaction she deserved. Alpha Ansaldo was going to introduce her to the pack, so she could not miss training. Downstairs, she met his beta, and her jaws dropped. ¡°Aiden?¡± Her voice shook from nervousness when Aiden lifted his head to meet her eyes. ¡°Bree,¡± Aiden said, and Alpha Ansaldo frowned deeply. Who gave him the right to address his Luna so casually? He quickly corrected his beta. ¡°It¡¯s Luna Bree for you.¡± Aiden merely nodded his head in understanding, asking. ¡°how do you two know each other?¡± Bree¡¯s expression changed instantly. Çú SIND GIFT Chapter 125 Chapter 125 ¡°Did you not hear me say she is our Luna? That should make you understand that she is my mate,¡± Alpha Ansaldo corrected him, looking upset. There was just something about the way they mentioned each other¡¯s names that he could not ept. Aiden had to give Bree the respect she deserved, and that concerned Alpha Ansaldo greatly. He only hoped their knowing each other was not something that would cause their rtionship any problems. ¡°I should be asking how you two know each other.¡± Aiden was a little lost to hear that Bree was his Alpha¡¯s mate. He thought it was merely a contract since his Alpha had been searching for his mate for a long time. It was what most Alphas did. Signing a contract with a random woman until they found their mate. ¡°Uhm.¡± Aiden was lost for words, greatly disappointed. ¡°We met at the Shadow pack.¡± Bree recalled and was about to exin when someone interrupted her. ¡°Is it not obvious that your beta and Luna have been at it behind your back?¡± It was Abilene, and Alpha Ansaldo was upset. It was not right for Abilene to interfere in their pack matters since she was not a pack member. He did not hesitate to point out her error. ¡°Know your ce, Abilene, this is a pack matter. You are just an outsider.¡± Abilene was saddened. It seemed as though Ansaldo was under Bree¡¯s spell. That could be the only reason he did not see anything wrong with her. ¡°You are just ashamed that the mate you hype so much is not as pure as you thought. She has been at it with your beta,¡± Abilene yelled, trying to create a scene, but since it was training time, the pack house was empty. At this pack, even omegas had their own training room, so there were no maids lurking about. ¡°Enough!¡± Alpha Ansaldo thundered in his Alpha tone, giving her an ultimatum. ¡°You shall leave this pack now.¡± Abilene was numb. After all this, Alpha Ansaldo still chose Bree and was even sending her out of the pack because of her. ¡°It¡¯s true what they say. Men would rather choose a whore than make it work with a good woman.¡± A p burned Abilene¡¯s face the moment she finished uttering those words. It was Beta Aiden who pped her, her eyes turned red from unshed tears. ring at Beta Aiden, she questioned him. ¡°You. Do you have any idea who I am?¡± Aiden lost respect for her. She did not deserve it since she disrespected his Luna. ¡°You disrespected the Luna of the River Bed Pack. Even if you are the moon goddess, you deserve more than a p.¡± N?velDrama.Org owns this text. A tear fell from Abilene¡¯s eyes. No one ever subjected her to such torment in her life before, not even her father. ¡°You can defend your girlfriend all you want. Who knows for how long you two have been at it?¡± Beta Aiden lost control, ready to teach her a lesson, but Alpha Ansaldo had a little drop of respect left for her father and said coldly. ¡°Abilene, leave now or 1 will make you.¡± Abilene turned around and headed upstairs when Alpha Ansaldo called her back. ¡°Abilene.¡± She turned around, a smile on her face as she hoped he was going to apologize, but his words were not what she expected. ¡°I don¡¯t want you going about spreading false rumors. I took Bree¡¯s first time. She was still a virgin until we met.¡± Not exactly what she was expecting to hear, Abilene scoffed but did not utter another word. As soon as she entered her room, she closed the door harshly and locked it. Alpha Ansaldo took a deep breath, sat down, and pulled Bree to sit on hisp. Then he cupped her cheek lovingly in the palm of his hand and said, ¡°please tell me everything¡± Beta Aiden, seeing the level of maturity between them, knew he had to get rid of anything he felt for Bree. He had to ept that she was now his Luna and there could be nothing between them. ¡°I will wait at the gym. Alpha Ansaldo did not stop him, and Aiden¡¯s absence relieved Bree. She spoke honestly without being asked. ¡°I was ying truth or dare with my friends at the Shadow pack, and Beta Aiden hade to visit. Alpha Ansaldo partly guessed exactly what happened as she continued to speak. ¡°When it was my turn, I chose a dare, and one of the girls saw him passing with the Alpha. She dared me to kiss him.¡± ¡°So, you kissed him,¡± Alpha Ansaldo ended for her, not amused but also could not me her. Bree tried to hide her face, but he would not let her, his eyes glued to hers. ¡°I feel ashamed, but so it is. Will you forgive me?¡± She asked in a small voice, her respect for him increased by the way he stood up for her. Alpha Ansaldo paused before saying lovingly to her. ¡°It happened before we met. Being both desperate in finding our mates, it¡¯s totally understandable. If it would be a problem for you, I can send him out of the pack house.¡± Bree¡¯s heart warmed, but she knew that Aiden would not cause her any trouble. Her only fear was in exining what happened between them in the past, which turned out easier than she thought. ¡°No, please don¡¯t do that. There is nothing between us. Back then, he even asked for my number, but I didn¡¯t g because he wasn¡¯t my mate. I was just silly,¡± she said truthfully and helplessly. give it Alpha Ansaldo smiled and kissed her on the lips. ¡°Okay. I choose to trust you. So, are you ready to meet your subjects, Luna?¡± COMMENT Chapter 126 Chapter 126 Earlier at the Dark Moon pack, the weather was fair, so Alpha Nick, Sheridan, Dustin, and Goldie arrived at training. It was livelier than before due to Sheridan and Goldie¡¯s presence, and everyone perceived something new. Sheridan was known as the queen of innovation, making something out of nothing, like turning their weak warriors into strong ones. No one knew Goldie, though she had frequented the pack in the past, limiting herself to the kitchen where she was received by Sheridan. Things were different now, and she was exposed to all other parts of the pack. It was a happy moment for all warriors and trainees. Alpha Nick and Beta Dustin decided to take charge of the male warriors, then Sheridan and Goldie the female. This was the first time they were trained by sexes, but the men could not help envying the women being trained by their Luna and Beta¡¯s mate. It looked so attractive the way they were being trained, unlike Alpha Nick¡¯s hard training. Sheridan¡¯s training approach was different, but she was very tough, except that no one ever saw her train with Alpha Nick before, so one of the warriors mentioned. ¡°Alpha, when will you train with our Luna?¡± Alpha Nick stared at Sheridan, and their eyes met. He was lost for words, but Sheridan answered on his behalf. ¡°Tomorrow. Today is already scheduled.¡± Alpha Nick smiled, anxious to train with her for the first time. He missed the opportunity before, but now, he was going to take advantage of every moment with her. What the warriors could not say was their hope for the opportunity to equally train with their Luna. The female side was filled with fun activities during their short water break, where Goldie would pick the bottle and throw it in the air. One could only drink if they caught the water in the air but could not pick directly from the ice chest. It filled the air with so muchughter, whereas the men¡¯s side was boring. Alpha Nick went to Sheridan for a swap when a mindlink burst through his mind. ¡°Alpha, I saw some people, but they disappeared.¡± Alpha Nick frowned a little, annoyed that Charlotte chose a fun moment like this to strike. ¡®Ring the war bells. Now, instead of going for the swap, he went with a message. ¡°Sherry, I think they are here.

Due to their curse, a lot of people forgot about their existence, and had Tom not given the information, Alpha Nick would not have equally thought in that direction. ¡°Most probably, they are just hiding with magic,¡± Sheridan said after careful thought, wondering how she was going to battle with a group of people she could not see with her eyes.

Alpha Nick refused. This war was going to be different from any other one they ever fought in their lives. ¡°No. You take instructions from Beta Dustin and Goldie.

The worst thing was, Charlotte was not there, but rather, only two of Sheridan. ¡°What is going on here?¡± Alpha Nick asked, afraid that they had been tricked. ¡°Nick, I can¡¯t understand either.¡± Sheridan¡¯s voice sounded, but then, another one countered it, sounding exactly the same. ¡°Don¡¯t listen to her, Nick, she¡¯s trying to impersonate me.¡± ¡°No, you are the one impersonating me,¡± the voice was heard again.

She was marked and mated, giving her a greater advantage. of This was the moment for their love to prevail, but sadly, she was not privy to mindlink as she had not been coronated yel All she felt were Alpha Nick¡¯s emotions. ¡°Nick, it¡¯s me, Sheridan. They are attacking the pack. I can¡¯t kill her if y you don¡¯t decide quickly.¡± Charlotte was getting scared. Nick¡¯s mind should have been swayed by now, but it wasn¡¯t. It was still in a confused state. ¡°It¡¯s a lie. I¡¯m the one. She sent her warriors to attack you,¡± Charlotte said. Alpha Nick was confused again. He knew that Dustin had a strong defense but was equally concerned about Sheridan. ¡°Alright. You two stop fighting and let me think,¡± he yelled. The two women released each other as Alpha Nick began to question them.. ¡°Sheridan, when was the first time we met?¡± ¡°It was on your wedding day with Charlotte,¡± Charlotte said, but Sheridan countered. ¡°Nick, I told you I had been in love with you since you saved me in my pack years before we met.¡± Alpha Nick smiled, knowing he had made progress and would soon be able to identify the real Sheridan. ¡°That is true.¡± ¡°Nick, it¡¯s a lot,¡± Charlotte retorted, feeling like she was losing. How could it be like this? She couldn¡¯t win against Sheridan in the fight, and now, the charm was also failing her. ¡°Okay. I will ask onest question,¡± Alpha Nick said. Charlotte felt a glimmer of hope. ¡°Yes, ask anything,¡± she said, feeling slightly nervous.. Alpha Nick recalled Sheridan¡¯s words that if he ever chose Charlotte over her, even identally or unintentionally, he would never see her and Daisy again. ¡°Sheridan, what is the most special thing between us?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t understand,¡± Charlotte said, interrupting the moment to prevent Sheridan from answering the question correctly. But Sheridan thought through the question and smiled. ¡°Daisy¡± ¡°Daisy flower?¡± Charlotte asked. Alpha Nick pulled the real Sheridan into his arms. ¡°No counterfeit cane between us. Sheridan wrapped her arms around his neck. ¡°I love you, Nick. You chose me.¡± the pack, signaling casualties. ¡°We have to help them,¡± Alpha Nick said and was about to pull Sheridan away when she stood her ground. ¡°Charlotte must also be brought to an end.¡± Author¡¯s note: Sorry for the repeated chapter posting.

Thank you. 3/3 Chapter 129 Chapter 129 In the Dark Moon pack, the pressure was high on Beta Dustin and Goldie as they led the defense of the pack against the intruders from the magic pack. So far, they had been able to hold on well, draining the life of any warriors who made it in, but from the northern part, the defense seemed to be breaking. Goldie had been fighting in human form beside Beta Dustin but could not shift because once that was done, she would losemunication with him. If the coronation had been done,munication would have been easier between them as she would have been privy to the mind link. ¡°We should split. I can lead the warriors from the east and west wing. Then you focus on the north and south,¡± Goldie said seriously, but Dustin was concerned about theirmunication channel. That is dangerous. I won¡¯t know if something bad happens to you.¡± He ripped the throat of one of the attackers as he spoke, Goldie kicked another one in the stomach and plucked the eyes out. Another one was running in her direction, and Dustin shed his throat before he got there. Goldie sent another two of them lifeless to the floor and spoke through pants. N?velDrama.Org owns this text. Then pair me with one of the strongest warriors. You can mind link with him when you need to pass information to me.¡± Dustin saw the idea as worthwhile, especially with the way the northern side was weakening, and instructed one of the strongest warriors to join Goldie. When she was about to leave, he said to her, ¡°I love you.¡± Goldie smiled and responded, ¡°I love you too.¡± ¡°Okay, go,¡± he released her, and she quickly ran in the direction of the other warriors at the eastern and western wing. The warriors of the magic pack were climbing the walls to attack, and the warriors of the Dark Moon pack equally had. a strong defense. The fight grew intense as Goldiemunicated to Beta Dustin through the warrior he sent with her. ¡°I think it¡¯s time for us to shift. Please inform Beta Dustin.¡± The warrior obeyed as Dustin agreed. ¡°She is right. I will mind link everyone, but no matter what, don¡¯t leave her side, and if there is any danger, let me know beforehand, Dustin responded through the mind link. Goldie received the message and shifted instantly. As soon as the warriors from the magic pack fell from the wall, she would attack them in wolf form without giving them the opportunity to shift. That way, she was able to take down triple what she took down in human form. Goldie¡¯s brown wolf was wilder than Dustin thought as he kept stealing nces at her even after the shift. Things happened so fast that he did not have the opportunity to see her wolf until now. It was like a fiery magical moment for him. Two wolves charged at Goldie after hiding behind the others to descend the walls without being killed and had shifted, but her defense was wless as she drained the life out of them. The good thing about fighting with warriors from the magic pack was the fact that they could not use magic in their battle. This was all dependent on their physical and wolfy strength. 1/0 At this point, they were fast falling to their graves. Unknown to Goldie and Dustin, the fight was in sync with what was going on in front of the pack, especially when the warriors of the magic pack began to retreat or were they disappearing? Sheridan was not taking it easy on Charlotte, her legs and hands kicking and hitting. Charlotte was in so much pain, her injuries too intense for her wolf to heal her. Goliath, the Alpha, and about twenty warriors from the magic pack tried to make it easy for Charlotte by helping in the fight against Sheridan, but Alpha Nick was right there to protect her from them, allowing her to focus on Charlotte and her evil wolf Even as it was one against twenty¨Ctwo, they were still no match for Alpha Nick, especially when he took on their Alpha first, injuring him beyond healing. The remaining twenty warriors were nothing to him, and Goliath began to fear, looking over at Charlotte¡¯s progress. Charlotte quickly shifted into wolf form. Her cursed wolf was not a good sight, and Alpha Nick feared Sheridan losing and was ready to take over the battle, except that this was Sheridan¡¯s fight. Charlotte trusted that her wolf would be able to defeat Sheridan but was surprised when Sheridan shifted. Her white Luna wolf appeared fierce and gracious, and Alpha Nick was marveled. This was not the way he wanted to see her wolf for the first time, but it so happened to be so. With the way Sheridan¡¯s wolf, Sra, defended herself and wounded Charcoal on the chest, almost reaching her heart, Charlotte was gripped with fear. ¡®Charcoal, what is going on?¡± Charcoal was annoyed and gave Charlotte control, and Sra did the same. ¡°Can¡¯t you see the mark on her neck? My powers would not work on her. She also smells like Alpha Nick, meaning that he already mated with her.¡± ¡°No.¡± Charlotte cried, knowing it was the end for her. How could Alpha Nick have marked and mated with Sheridan within a week when she had waited years for it? With Sheridan having Alpha Nick¡¯s fluid inside her, it was impossible for Charcoal¡¯s evil powers to work against her. Had Charlotte known that Alpha Nick truly loved Sheridan and was not just getting back at her, she would have developed another strategy. However, she still tried to use the powers from the magic pack this time, but as she sent the me towards Sheridan, the pendant on her chest illuminated, sending the mes back to Charlotte, and she fell on her back. Sheridan¡¯s elongated fingers pierced through her throat, but she disappeared instantly, and so had all the magic pack members. Sheridan could not term it as victory since she could not tell whether they were hiding behind their powers. ¡°Is she dead, or is she going toe back?¡± She eagerly asked Alpha Nick, ready to find every means to end it all if Charlotte survived even by ident. The injury was very deep, and Sheridan almost seeded in ripping out her heart. ¡°I don¡¯t know, but there is one way Luna.¡± to find out,¡± Alpha Nick said and pulled her into his arms. ¡°You did well, my Their lips were engaged before they were harshly pulled apart by Dustin and Sheridan. ¡°Goddess, you two are something else. Is the war over or not?¡± Goldie asked breathlessly. Chapter 130 Chapter 130 ¡°They suddenly disappeared, so what does that mean?¡± Goldie asked again, as she had not received an answer to her previous question. Alpha Nick and Sheridan werepletely absorbed in each other, seeming as if they did not want to give anyone attention but themselves. Miraculously, Alpha Nick gave his attention after stealing a few kisses from Sheridan. His excitement stemmed from the fact that he was finally going to be reunited with his little bundle of joy. ¡°They have been defeated, and I don¡¯t think Charlotte can survive that injury. Let¡¯s go and celebrate. I have a very important announcement to make.¡± Beta Dustin¡¯s hand wrapped around Goldie¡¯s as they joined the celebration with the pack members. Athena wasing out of the safe house with the children and elderly she had kept safe during the war since she could not fight. Tedmond was by her side, a smile blooming on their faces at the sound of the victory chants. The Dark Moon pack was exceptionally noisy that day, but that was the exact excitement they all needed. The victory sounds of the pack members deafened everyone, so only when they got close to where Sheridan stood could her voice be heard. ¡°I see you won,¡± Athena said proudly to Sheridan ¡°Yes, ma¡¯am. Thank you very much.¡± Sherian hugged Athena lovingly, grateful for the elderly woman¡¯s help in preparing for the war as Alpha Nick said to no one in particr. ¡°Now I have to call Ansaldo to inform him to have his coronation sooner. Ours can be done a week after. Dustin, please get the pack members together. I want to address them before we clean the pack.¡± Athena and Sheridan were amazed to see him so excited, and Alpha Nick ran up the stairs to get his and Sheridan¡¯s phones, shocked by the number of missed calls. He redialed Alpha Ansaldo as he descended the stairs. ¡°Ansaldo, I missed your calls.¡± A sigh of relief could be heard at the end of the line as Alpha Ansaldo responded through the Bluetooth connected to his dashboard. It was the speaker one, so Bree could hear everything clearly. ¡°Nick, finally. We were o on our way to your pack when we heard about the war.¡± Alpha Nick was touched that help would have found them if things had gotten worse. It was good to have more friends than enemies, but family was even better. ¡°No need. It¡¯s over, and we won. You can have your coronation in a week. We shall have ours the week after,¡± Alpha Nick spoke with a strange excitement neither Alpha Ansaldo nor Bree had ever heard before. Bree was greatly relieved to hear this as Alpha Ansaldo responded. ¡°Wonderful news. Your sister was dying from worry.¡± Not surprised, Alpha Nick responded. ¡°Well, I would have done the same.¡± Since everything was fine, Alpha Ansaldo began to turn the car around. ¡°I will make a U¨Cturn then see you soon. Chapter 130U On the other side of the line, Alpha Nick¡¯s arms were tightly wrapped around Sheridan, seeming as if she was going to All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. run away. He addressed the pack members beaming with extraordinary excitement. ¡°Congrattions for winning the war against invisible forces.¡± The pack members roared, cheering victoriously as he added, ¡°Now, for the surprise I told you about, you shall all be informed about it tomorrow.¡± ¡°Ohhhhh,¡± the cheers turned to disappointment as their faces fell. ¡°We want to know it now,¡± the courageous warriors kept chanting among themselves, with the rest of the pack members joining in. Alpha Nick waved his hand for them to calm down before he exined it to them. ¡°Well, tomorrow is not far, and I intend to take my sweet time in letting you know. For now, we work together. We can ¨C finish cleaning the pack in an hour. Not much damage has been done.¡± The pack members ran in opposite directions, retrieving their cleaning materials from where they had kept them before the gathering. In less than an hour, the pack was spotlessly cleaned, and all the charcoal removed to restore the pack to its former glory. After Alpha Nick showered and had dinner, he said to Sheridan, ¡°We have to go and bring back Daisy. We should be back before the pack wakes up.¡± It waste, but Alpha Nick saw it as the best time to make the trip. That way, they would return in the morning. ¡°Are we going alone?¡± Sheridan wished for Goldie toe along, and as if reading her mind, Alpha Nickforted her. ¡°Coldie has a mate now, and you have to understand that I am now your best friend and everything. Allow your cousin to enjoy her man ¡± The tone of possession in Alpha Nick¡¯s voice caused Sheridan to blush as she dressed up, and they left together. The car was already flying over the highways when Sheridan reminded Alpha Nick, ¡°I was just afraid that you were too tired to drive. I don¡¯t mind helping. Alpha Nick responded seriously. ¡°Everybody is tired, but our daughter is the right adrenaline.¡± Sheridan was amused, but knowing how deeply she was going to miss her parents, she made a suggestion. ¡°Why don¡¯t we spend a night at the Moonshine pack? You have never done that before.¡± Knowing it was true, Alpha Nick did not refuse. ¡°That is true, but I made a promise to the pack already.¡± Sheridan was not ready to give up and suggested, ¡°Dustin can handle it. I won¡¯t be able to return to the pack anytime. soon,¡± she replied, looking lost. ¡°You have a point there. You win,¡± Alpha Nick beamed. His smile was so sweet, it warmed Sheridan¡¯s heart. Arriving at the Moonshine pack in the wee hours of the morning, they were surprised to see Sheridan and Alpha Nick, but they knew the reason. ¡°You want to take away my joy?¡± Sheridan¡¯s mother was pitiful, and Alpha Nick¡¯s excitement in coming for his daughter shook her. Chapter 131 Chapter 131 Chapter 131 ¡°Mom, please don¡¯t be like this,¡± Sheridan embraced andforted her mother. Alpha Nick quickly spotted the little girl walking in their direction. His heart warmed greatly and shock fledged from his soul. ¡°My little Daisy.¡± Alpha Nick went on his knees and spread his arms, the little girl filled in the space, piggling. Alpha Nick¡¯s arms wrapped around her as he rose to his feet with her in his arms. She had the emerald bracelet on her wrist, but he was also amazed that she walked so fast and her pace was quite steady. It had been barely a week since he held her in his arms, but she seemed to have grown a year. Not in size or stature, but rather in strength and the pace of her m e n t a l and intellectual development. The bond between the father and daughter was the most amazing thing anyone had ever seen. Breaking from the hug, Sheridan¡¯s mother¡¯s sorrow suddenly vanished, and she began to exin the events of the past few days to them. ¡°She doesn¡¯t allow her uncles to carry her like that but loves to watch them training from the balcony upstairs.¡± There were joyful tears in the middle-aged woman¡¯s eyes as she recalled the events of the few days she spent with her granddaughter. Her mate, the Alpha King, narrated his observations as well. ¡°Yeah, I even caught her secretly practicing some of the moves.¡± Alpha Nick was stunned. Daisy seemed to be aiming for greatness. ¡°My little warrior. Daddy is going to devote his time to train you like your mother,¡± Alpha Nick assured her. ¡°Da¡­da,¡± Daisy made the sound, and everyone was excited as those were her first words since she was left with her grandparents and uncles She giggled like someone who understood her father¡¯s words. Alpha Nick took over taking care of Daisy, and Sheridan was envious as all the attention rested on her daughter. She never thought any female could take Alpha Nick¡¯s attention from her, but her own daughter did. What an irony. ¡°You little charmer. You seeded in taking all the attention. Not only that, you pretend not to know me,¡± she tickled Daisy, and the girl was just cackling Alpha Nick had joyful tears in his eyes, and throughout the time they spent, the only time he was not with Daisy was when she fell asleep. That was the only time Sheridan or anyone else could have his attention. ¡°Nick, now you are taking our lucky charm away?¡± Sheridan¡¯s mother returned to being sorrowful once more, and so were her brothers. Their mates were in the kitchen, trying to ensure that the best maals were prepared for them, Sheridan¡¯s brothers wanted to spend some time with her and Alpha Nick before their return to the Dark Moon pack. 12:07 Chapter 131 JUN ¡°She is my daughter, and she needs to be with me. Why don¡¯t you get your mates pregnant?¡± Alpha Nick jokingly asked, not knowing he had poked at their biggest challenges. ¡°It¡¯s not as if we have not tried,¡± Arnold spoke in painful tone, Nick and Sheridan were rendered speechless. ¡°What are you talking about?¡± Sheridan was unaware of the infertility issues in her pack. No wonder her parents did not want Daisy to leave. How she wished for them to have more grand children to keep them busy. ¡°We are still trying to find out if someone ced a curse on any of us. None of our seven mates would get pregnant. It couldn¡¯t be a coincidence, right?¡± Alpha Arnold asked, looking depressed. He kept it in and did not want to lose hope, but with Daisy leaving them so soon, it was so hard for him to take. Alpha Nick was lost for words. His mind never traveled in this direction towards his inws. All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. ¡°I really don¡¯t know what to say.¡± ¡°Food is ready,¡± Chloe, Arnold¡¯s mate and Luna said, dropping the tray on the dining table. She instantly covered her mouth with her hand and ran towards the visitor¡¯s toilet. ¡°What is wrong with her?¡± Sheridan asked when the door shut, adding, ¡°I will go check on her.¡± She chased after Arnold¡¯s wife, and As¡¯ mate, Quinn, also brought the fruits, and just like that, she also ran out of the living room to the toilet. hing going on.¡± Alpha Nick was getting scared. ¡°Now I think there is something going on.¡± Chaya, Dara¡¯s mate, brought the water, and just like that, she ran out of the room to the toilet as well. Sheridan¡¯s mother panicked, afraid that they ate something bad and went to check on them.. Returning to the living room, the four other mates of Sheridan¡¯s four remaining brothers equally felt nauseous, though they were not throwing up the earlier ones. The queen kept her suspicions to herself, not daring to draw any conclusions until it was confirmed. ¡°I will call the doctor to check on all of you,¡± she said. like The seven women were all nauseated by the scent of the food until the doctor arrived to take their blood samples. The results were sent to the queen, and she was shocked. ¡°This is unbelievable. Where is our little lucky charm?¡± Sheridan was c confused and asked, ¡°Mom, what is going on?¡± 12:07 Fri, 14 Jun Chapter 132 Chapter 132 Chapter 1 3 2 ¡°Daisy is indeed a lucky charm. Her presence got all seven mates of your brothers pregnant,¡± the queen announced delightfully, and even the Alpha King was excited. ¡°What?¡± So many voices spoke at once, shock spread through the entire living foom. ¡°How could it be possible for all our mates to be pregnant at the same time?¡± Arnold found it unbelievable, fearing a mistake. The queen managed to control her joy and spoke calmly. That is the truth. You can either check with the doctor now or wait until their stomachs begin to erge as proof.¡± Arnold was so happy that he lost his voice. ¡°Chloe? Pregnant?¡± He almost lost his desire of being a father, as they had began to think about how to convince Alpha Nick to let Daisy take over the pack in the future. His six brothers were equally stunned to mute. No longer would Daisy be burdened with managing two packs, as the seven brothers would all have their sessors with them. This was the rarest and most bizarre news Alpha Nick had ever heard. ¡°Why don¡¯t we celebrate?¡± He spoke up, and Boaz, the seventh brother, went to bring a big bottle of expensive champagne from the wine cab. He shook it slightly, allowing the foam to linger around the bottle. The service got him slightly calm as he was still stunned from the news. ¡°To a future of changing so many diapers,¡± Alpha Nick toasted to his inws, everybody giggled, and the atmosphere lightened. The shocked expressions were all reced by cheers ofughter. sed favor to rest upon their household. The queen was convinced in her heart that this was not just a coincidence. Their love for Daisy caused favor ¡°Sherry, you should take very good care of Daisy. She carries something very special, and I am really saddened that she¡¯s leaving. This was all because of her,¡± the queen said. Sheridan did not believe that her daughter had anything special to have caused everything that happened. Most of these middle-aged couples were always superstitious, so Sheridan did not hold her mother¡¯s words with a pinch of salt. ¡°Mom, I think it was bound to happen. Daisy¡¯s presence is just a coincidence.¡± The middle-aged woman shook her head vehemently to express her dissatisfaction. ¡°I think not. Let¡¯s wait and see what the future holds for her.¡± The queen did not argue with Sheridan concerning the matter, but the next day, she insisted that Daisy slept in her room for thest time so Alpha Nick could not refuse. In Sheridan¡¯s bedroom, she rocked a s**y lingerie after her shower. To earn her the perfect surprise, shecked the door, refusing for Nick to join her in the bathroom, and after she was through, she sent him in there before making arrangements for something special. By the time Nick came out of the shower room, there were rose petals on the floor and bed with Sheridan looking delicious in her red lingerie, her teeth pressing the stem of a single rose. Impressed by what he was seeing, Alpha Nick was happy to only be in a towel. There was no need to put on any boxers, but he felt different This was his first time sleeping in a room that was not his and was equally not a hotel. The color themes and all were quite feminine, ¡°And to what do I owe this special moment?¡± He asked with interest, ambling slowly to her. Sheridan held his gaze and spoke seductively. ¡°I don¡¯t know when we shall return here again, so I would love for us to create a memory in my bedroom, in my former pack.¡± Alpha Nick¡¯s brows raised, amusement covering it. He never thought in that direction and had even decided not to touch her until they reached the Dark Moon Pack, but if she wanted it this way, then who was he to deny her? Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. He allowed the towel wrapped around his slender waist to drop before ambling and sitting beside Sheridan on the bed. He removed the rose from her mouth, and his lips quickly reced it. It was a brief kiss before he quickly pulled away and asked, ¡°I love the idea, but are the doors soundproof?¡± Sheridan¡¯s head was thrown back in disappointment, understanding what he meant. Anyone might hear her screaming from her o r g a s m, which, though not so bad to her, also made her uneasy. The fact that this was her parents¡¯ home where she never brought a man before on her own ord. ¡°These doors aren¡¯t soundproofed.¡± Honestly veiled her words, but Alpha Nick was still determined to make everything worthwhile for her. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it. I will be gentle, and you just have to cove to cover your mouth with a pillow to not make a sound. How about that?¡± Sheridan thought carefully, remembering how Alpha Nick made love to her. How could she hold her moans in? ¡°I¡¯m not sure I will be able to keep that promise.¡± Alpha Nick¡¯s fingers trailed her exposed legs to her thighs, sending shivers down her spine. ¡°Then don¡¯t me me if someonees knocking on the door to tell you to tone it down.¡± An embarrassed smile stretched her lips as she reached for a pillow. ¡°I will take the pillow option.¡± Spreading her slender legs, Alpha Nick buried his head in there and allowed her to enjoy every pleasure he had to give. the first It was not the time but felt so different, that Sheridan¡¯s release came faster than she wanted it to be. Nevertheless, she went on all fours and positioned herself at the edge of the bed, her head buried in the pillow, m u f l g her moans as Nick took her hard and raw from the back, making her squirm most of the time. The next day, Sheridan¡¯s seven brothers and their mates lined up to bid them goodbye. Due to the news of the pregnancy, everyone was the happiest Sheridan ever saw them. ¡°Visit whenever you feel bored or have the chance,¡± Sheridan said before sitting in the car. Daisy was in a child seat in the back as Alpha Nick drove to the pack. Twenty minutes before his arrival, he sent a message to Dustin. ¡®Get all the pack members ready.¡± He instinctively turned around to cast a nce at Daisy, noticing something strange. Chapter 133 Chapter 133 Chapter 133 ¡°She hasn¡¯t eaten, cried, made a fuss, or slept throughout the entire journey. Is this normal?¡± Alpha Nick asked Sheridan, as she had spent the longest time with their daughter. Sheridan looked behind at Daisy, and their eyes locked briefly before Daisy looked the other way, lacing the window of the car. This was not the first time it had happened, and Sheridan was uneasy about the whole thing. ¡°Her attitude changed ever since our return, but before then, there were a few triggers. She began solids quite early and never even tasted breast milk. Do you think she¡¯s upset with me for keeping her from you?¡± Sheridan could not forget that night at the airport Daisy was all fussy, but the moment she saw her dad, she was soposed that Sheridan felt betrayed. She was trying to hide Daisy from Alpha Nick, whereas Daisy was looking for him. The mother and daughter seemed to desire different things. ¡°Did you ever apologize to her for it?¡± Alpha Nick asked seriously. Sheridan did not agree with him this time. ¡°Apologize to a baby? Are you serious?¡± Alpha Nick chuckled and asked her, ¡°Why is it so hard?¡± Then he thought about something and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I will teach you. He parked the car on the the shoulder of the road and turned to face Daisy. Holding her gaze, he spoke seriously, ¡°Daisy darling, I¡¯m sorry for not being there when you were born and growing up, but I promise to make it up to you every day. I also promise that daily, we shall be training together. So do you forgive me?¡± Daisy beamed. Then the words escaped her. ¡°Da¡­da.¡± Alpha Nick did not me Sheridan for keeping Daisy from him. It was his fault for being blinded by Charlotte, that he lost Sheridan¡¯s trust. As such, he took it upon himself to take the me. However, that did not erase the fact that Sheridan kept Daisy away from her father. The little girl was just as vengeful as her mother. hean?¡± Alpha Nick faced Sheridan and asked, but she still could not ept it ¡°See what I mean?¡± Alpha ¡°I don¡¯t think that¡¯s where the problem lies. She warmed up to you from the moment she saw you. I don¡¯t think she ever held anything against you.¡± Alpha Nick shook his head, recalling how he continuously apologized, not caring if Daisy understood him or not. ¡°I apologized to her in the car. Why is it hard? Just apologize to your daughter.¡± Sheridan did not see the need to not try and finally obliged. ¡°Fine. I will show you it isn¡¯t that.¡± She turned around and spoke to Daisy. ¡°Hey sweetheart, I¡¯m very sorry for keeping your dad and grandparents away from you and raising you alone. A lot happened before you were conceived and even born. I hope that one day, when you are older, you will be able to understand.¡± Sheridan could swear that Daisy¡¯s gaze on her was the longest it had been ever since she was birthed. It was piercing in the beginning before it finally softened. Then her lips stretched, and she giggled. ¡°Mama,¡± Sheridan felt strange. Daisy¡¯s development was nothing she had ever heard about before. How could a small being like Daisy have such big emotions? 12:07 Fri, 14 Jun Chapter 133 ¡°Do you believe me now?¡± Alpha Nick teasingly asked, Sheridan sumbed. ¡°You won.¡± Arriving at the Dark Moon pack, it waste, but the pack was well-lit with so much activity ongoing. The pack members were well-dressed and standing on either side of the driveways. Daisy¡¯s eyes glued to the window of the car dood as she watched the pack members with great interest. A smile pinned on her lips, unwavering until Alpha Nick drove slowly to the pack house, nodding his head in greetings to the pack members. He was greatly touched by their act of wee for Daisy. When he called Beta Dustin, all he wanted was for those awake to meet them at the frontage of the pack house, but things took a different turn from what he imagined it to be. Athena, Tedmond, Goldie, and Dustin were all waiting at the entrance of the pack house with the pack members who had followed the car to the pack house. As soon n as the car stopped, Athena moved right to the back seat where Daisy isy sat and opened the door. Her heart warmed to know that her granddaughter would finally be with her for many years toe. ¡°Sweet little angel, do you remember grandma?¡± Daisy beamed and extended both her tiny little hands. Athena realized that she already had six teeth in her mouth. Thest time she saw her, there were just two. She proudly carried Daisy in her arms. ¡°At longst. I would never be bored again.¡± Alpha Nick and Sheridan addressed the pack members who were both excited and confused. ¡°I promised everyone that I had a surprise,¡± Alpha Nick began and thought to exin it to them. ¡°In the course of chasing back my wife, a lot happened, and the pack happened to have an heir.¡± il gazes followed suit. ¡°Meet Daisy, Thorax He turned in the direction of her mother, and all gazes The confusion outweighed the excitement. Though anxious for an heir, they never imagined it to be like this. ¡°Alpha, how is it possible? Do you mean that you and our Luna have a child already?¡± One of the pack members, a middle-aged man asked. ¡®Alpha Nick nodded his head and answered. ¡°Exactly what I¡¯m talking about. We kept her secret because of Charlotte, and now that she¡¯s gone, you all deserve to know that we already have an heir.¡±¡± Athena gave Daisy to Alpha Nick, and he lifted her above his head, facing the moon, but what happened next was even more surprising.Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. Chapter 134 Chapter 134 Chapter 134 The moonlight cast a silver light on Daisy¡¯s forehead, her appearance remarkable as she giggled like never before. The girl was a happy one and her vibrance mad her lovable to everyone who saw or came into contact with her. Everyone was stunned by the radiation and Athena had a satisfied smile, as cheers broke out from the lips of the pack members at the sight of Daisy. This was the confirmation that she was indeed the chosen one and would bear the powers from the moon. ¡°She must be a special child, but how can she be the Alpha when she¡¯s a girl?¡± one of the pack members asked. The others nodded in agreement with the same question, Sheridan was nervous, knowing it was true, but Alpha Nick remained calm as he answered them. ¡°If the moon goddess has given us a daughter, then it means she¡¯ll be a female Alpha. Don¡¯t worry. I will train her well for the position, and you will never even know she¡¯s a woman.¡± The pack members had heard of a female Alpha in the past, but the Dark Moon pack had never had one. They could only wait to see if Daisy would be stronger than the men. One of them couldn¡¯t help asking ¡°Alpha, if Daisy bes the Alpha, what would her mate be called? What if she mates with someone from another pack?¡± The greatest fear of pack members and even Alphas was their members leaving the pack as a result of being mated to others from different packs like Bree. But there was nothing to could do about it but in a case where Daisy would be the Alpha, her leaving to another pack would cause them a great deal of trouble and loss. Alpha Nick was unconcerned. If that happened, the moon goddess would give them another child. -Why worry about a future we are not sure we will live to see? Today is a privilege. Let¡¯s enjoy it while itsts.¡± Daisy¡¯s presence made it impossible for Alpha Nick to be upset. His excitement spread to every pack member. The fear of what might happen if Daisy became the Alpha was forgotten as the pack members returned to being happy and excited. ¡°Tomorrow, we will have a party in honor of the heir of the Dark Moon Pack,¡± Alpha Nick announced joyfully, and the cheers continued as Daisy was lowered into her father¡¯s arms. er eyes darted curiously around the crowd, trying to identify the owners of the voices she heard. Her ¡°Thank you all for waiting. You can go to sleep now,¡± Alpha Nick said gratefully, pleased with his pack members. The pack fell quiet once more, with a few warriors on patrol. Athena refused to let any nanny near Daisy, choosing to care for her little bundle of joy herself. Remembering what his mother-inw had said about Daisy enjoying watching her uncles train, Alpha Nick couldn¡¯t wait to take her with him to training, Then he recalled the seven pregnancies and asked Athena, ¡°Mom, Sheridan¡¯s seven brothers¡¯ mates all got pregnant at once. Could it be just a coincidence or is there anything to it?¡± ¡°You mean Chloe, Quinn, Chaya, Elsa, Harlow, Tessa, and Be are all pregnant?¡± Goldie could not contain her excitement as she asked. Sheridan nodded her head in agreement. Chapter 134 745 ¡°Yes, Goldie, they all are. If I was not there, I would not have believed it.¡± Goldie was the happiest upon hearing the news, knowing for how long those women waited. ¡°I can only imagine how happy they are at the pack now. Those seven women have cried a lot in secret, afraid that the pack members could get upset one day to demand their recement,¡± GoldieFrom N?velDrama.Org. exined. Her excitement was great, as if she was the pregnant one. She added excitedly. ¡°Dustin, you better get me pregnant or I¡¯ll die.¡± Everybodyughed but Dustin was beginning to have a headache. Since when were they supposed to conjure children? ¨C made that w ¡°Rx. Babies aren¡¯t made that way.¡± Dustin kissed her on the head, and Goldie had a profound look in her eyes. ¡°I love you so much. Do you know I used toe to the pack when Alpha Nick was mean to Sherry? She limited me to the kitchen then so I never saw you. I guess if I had, we would have rejected each other because of how much you hated Sheridan.¡± The remembrance of the past saddened Alpha Nick and Beta Dustin, but Sheridan, noticing their sour mood, came through for them. ¡°I don¡¯t think he would have. Maybe that would have forced him to start liking me because of you. I don¡¯t know how things would have turned out after that, but I love the fact that our future is brighter than the past ever was.¡± Goldie hugged Sheridan and remarked, ¡°You are the purest of souls, and Daisy is the proof of it believe it¡¯s her good luck that got all those women pregnant.¡± Athena was all smiles, adding, ¡°That is true. She must have heard them talk Sheridan¡¯s eyes widened as she kissed her daughter on the lips. ¡°Hey, little angel. I wanna give you a brother. Do some magic. Alpha Nick massaged his forehead frustratedly and answered on behalf of Daisy ¡°Don¡¯t worry. When the time is right, the Moon goddess would give us more amazing children.¡± Athena shook her head, making everyone suspicious. ¡°Mom, are you hiding something?¡± Alpha Nick asked curiously. Taking a deep breath, she exined to them, ¡°Not hiding anything. I just forgot to inform you about another side of Daisy¡¯s powers.¡± From the look in her eyes, both Sheridan and Alpha Nick could tell it was not going to be good. ¡°Mom, please don¡¯t ruin our happy mood. Daisy would be fine, right?¡± A smile stretched Athena¡¯s lips at the mention of her granddaughter. Every good thing came with a sacrifice, ¡°Daisy is like anyone else over here, but there is just something you need to know about her generosity. It doesn¡¯t extend to everyone.¡± ¡°We are her parents, so it should extend to us, right?¡± Sheridan asked with hopeful eyes. Athena forced a smile and dropped a hint. ¡°If you remember my lineage, then you would know what she¡¯s contending against. The rules are different for grandchildren.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t understand,¡± Alpha Nick said, with Sheridan bobbing her head in agreement. ¡°Same here.¡± Chapter 135 Chapter 135 Chapter 1 3 5 Athena focused on appreciating what one had. ¡°Daisy¡¯s powers would allow anyone but not you to have another child.¡± Sheridan confirmed her suspicions of her daughter. There was just something about her that she could not understand before. ¡°She doesn¡¯t want a sibling?¡± Athena exined it with seriousness. ¡°It¡¯s not her, but the powers. You just have to understand that she doesn¡¯t want to share her parents¡¯ love from that angle with anyone. In retrospect, she would manifest the greatest of powers and do great things for a lot of people without any weakness.¡± Athena bore the powers but could not use them, making her sick all the time. This was the first time she felt so strong and yet would have to begin training all over, Moreover, she was also an only child because of it. Compared with Daisy, the girl was more blessed than her. Also, Daisy could have as many children as she wanted in future, but they would all bear a bit of her powers. The only problem would be that they would have to share depending on the number of children but, not as wholly as Daisy would. Sheridan was saddened. ¡°You mean that because of Daisy, I won¡¯t have another child?¡± Athena did not know how to feel about her saddened tone but could not also lie to her. ¡°Sometimes, one child is enough, but Daisy is the one to really manifest these powers, and she would enjoy all the benefits there are, including having a lot of children if she so desires. You are the ones paying the rest of the price after me.¡± Alpha Nick knew how much his mother suffered because of her powers, but Daisy was enjoying it even as a baby. The emerald bracelet on her wrist would glow from time to time. Sheridan was suddenly at ease. For as long as they were going to have grandchildren, she was still happy and would be d to take care of her grandchildren for Daisy to assume heavier responsibilities. All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. ¡°If that be the case, I don¡¯t think Sheridan minds. Do you?¡± Alpha Nick asked seriously. For as long as Sheridan was okay, he was fine. After having to contend with the likes of Charlotte, it would not be wrong for one to have some special ? powers ¡°No. For as long as our daughter is happy, I¡¯m also happy.¡± ¡°Finally, I feel fulfilled. I have all the people I need right here. It¡¯s a perfect family for us,¡± Alpha Nick smiled and said. Athena remembered something and said to Sheridan. aisy might not have it easy in terms of her love life, but in the end, she would be happier than you.¡± Sherry, Daisy At this point, both Alpha Nick and Sheridan did not know whether to be happy or sad. Alpha Nick, for causing Sheridan so much emotional trauma and Sheridan, for enduring it all. ¡°I won¡¯t forget thest part. I¡¯m happy now, and for as long as she¡¯ll be happier than me, then it would be all worth it.¡± Athena only hummed. The rest, she would not be able to say, except it happens. The next day, the party began for three continuous days. Daisy was dressed in the most beautiful baby dress there was. Chapter 1 3 5 The pack members showered her with various gifts and well wishes, having turns to carry Daisy in their arms. Everything was so joyful with great music, and enough to eat and drink. ¡°This is the happiest I have seen the pack,¡± Alpha Nick said with a smile on his face. He was dressed in a white tuxedo, looking ravishing Sheridan and Goldie, both dressed in white luxurious dinner wears from Sherry¡¯s Couture and mour. Beta Dustin wore a white tuxedo as well, and it was the most memorable day in the life of the pack and its members. With a joyful celebration like this ongoing, no one expected anyone to harbor evil intentions, but there was. A middle-aged woman stared at Daisy and her mother with a blend of envy, jealousy, and bitterness. Ever since her daughter was banished by Tedmond twenty years ago for cheating on her mate and trying to set him up, bitterness settled in her heart like Venom. Nothing has been able to make her happy. Seeing Sheridan, she reminded her so much of her daughter and saddened her that Alpha Nick got a good woman and was happy. On her face, a smile lingered with her bitterness unnoticed. ¡°Indeed. I can¡¯t be happier, and I can¡¯t wait for Bree¡¯s coronation,¡± Sheridan said with equal excitement. ¡°Yeah, that girl got it soft. She never had to work hard for anything.¡± Alpha Nick said in annoyance, recalling what a perfect life Bree lived. Sheridan refrained from telling him about Abilene since Bree did not want him to know. ¡°I am happy that she¡¯s happy. Alpha Ansaldo loves her to bits.¡± ¡°And I love you to death and back.¡± Alpha Nick kissed her in front of the pack members before announcing, ¡°Our Luna¡¯s coronation would be in two weeks.¡± The excitement only continued. He ensured to host Daisy¡¯s introduction separately, so as not to expose her to danger on the coronation day since there would be a lot of people attending. Athena finally took Daisy to her room as the pack members continued to have all the fun they wanted. Alpha Nick could equally not keep his hand to himself, dragging Sheridan to their bedroom. ¡°Are you ready for another round?¡± Smiling flirtatiously, Sheridan responded, ¡°Do you ever get tired?¡± ¡°You already know the answer to that. You are just too sweet,¡± he said, lifting her to his arms and onto the bed. A week passed, and preparations went on for Bree¡¯s coronation. Every pack member wanted to be there, but it was impossible. Most of them had to work during the event to make it sessful and also for the guests to be
