Chapter 72!Earlier, Sheila was in her room with Goldie when one of her managers arrived. “Ma’am, you look stunning. Even better than at the gala awards.”Sheila didn’t feel flattered as the diamond dress she designed was more dazzling than the red one shewore at the gala awards. This was her way of moving on from […]
Chapter 71 D80% 11:18 Earlier, Charlotte had run out of her room because of the mouse, not knowing where she was headed but was unfortunate to end up in the training room. Seeing how haggard she looked after being beaten by Anita the last time, the she–wolves, especially, were happy. The unmated ones wished their Alpha would just handpick them rather than relying on the mate bond. Not only was Charlotte proud and disrespectful towards pack members but she was also weak, If there was a war, no one would have the confidence to be led by her. They would rather surrender to the enemy. No wonder Alpha Nick had not announced nor accepted her as his would mate. “Who do we have here? Charlotte? Why haven’t you trained for the past few days?” One of the she–wolves, Kari asked. She was strong and daring, so Charlotte was no match for her. Charlotte realized too late that she was in the training room without Alpha Nick, nor beta Dustin but then, she was the Alpha’s mate, so how could anyone bully her? “Stay away,” she said in a low growl, but Kari was just warming up. Charlotte had not had her bath for the past few days, she went into a state of unconsciousness and was beginning to smell from it. “What is that stench? Am I the only one smelling it?” Kari mocked Charlotte as she drew closer, the others gave. thumbs up, encouraging her to continue. Everyone was happy to see Charlotte in this state. Everyone except Anita. Though Anita did not like what Kari was doing, she was helpless in the situation as she lacked the power to help. Charlotte has been mean to her any way, and deserved it but she still could not console herself with that fact. The only person who could stop them was Beta Dustin or Bree. Whereas Bree was also away. “No. Seems like the special stench accompanying the omegas,” one of the male warriors responded, and the training room roared with laughter. “Has she been degraded?” Kari asked in a mocking tone, looking down on Charlotte, who was hugging herself like a frightened child. 1/3 Emergency calls only Chapter 71 D80% 11:18 “Stay away or I would have you punished,” Charlotte managed to say, recalling that she was the Alpha’s mate. All she had to do was take her training seriously and she would have Alpha Nick wrapped around her fingers again, or so she thought. Kari didn’t seem to be having it, having envied Charlotte for a while for being the Alpha’s mate. The Alpha’s attitude towards Charlotte the last time left a lot to be desired. “How can you punish me when the Alpha has not officially introduced you to the pack? Does it mean you are nothing to him? He allowed Anita to beat you badly.” Without thinking, Charlotte balled her hand and punched Kari in the face. “How dare you talk to me like that?” Kari did not hesitate to return it since the Alpha did not attempt to stop Anita from disciplining Charlotte the last time. She returned the punch double, Charlotte fell on the floor, and the training room turned into an uproar of laughter. Charlotte could not stand the shame, standing to her feet and attempting a kick this time, but that only resulted in her being beaten up by Kari. All she could do was scream for Beta Dustin to hear and come to her rescue since everyone in here did not seem willing to come to her aid. Fortunately, her screams attracted Tom, who came to her aid. He punched Kari in the face, but that was when one of the head warriors, Rick, stood in Kari’s defense. It resulted in both Charlotte and Tom’s unconscious forms being sent to their rooms in the omegas quarters once again. Beta Dustin could not hold his laughter from where he hid to watch the drama unfold. The Moon Shine Pack was bustling with activities when Alpha Nick arrived. All the unmated Alphas were in attendance, as well as mated ones who were there for business and other opportunities. Alpha Nick stepped out of his car with his bodyguards, giving the key to the Valet stationed at the car park. The bodyguards were once again ushered away from their bosses by the trained ushers. The pack’s auditorium was filled with elegant, gorgeous, and extravagant men and women from only the werewolf communities. Music flooded the venue with the best wines being served. 323 Emergency calls only onlyM50r Chapter 71 D80% 11:19 The lights were captivating, giving the venue an elegant appeal. Everyone was busy with something, except Alpha Nick, who could not help thinking about the mysterious woman he slept with. He was disinterested in the activities but managed to exchange a few words with some of the Alphas. He looked curiously around for Sheila, but there was no sign of her. What if that manager lied to him? Alpha Nick was beginning to feel played. He wasn’t interested in anything concerning the Alpha King’s daught He was just here for the opportunity to see Sheila, but there was still no sign of her. The Alpha King, his Luna, and seven sons were all around, so even if Sheila was trying to make an appearance as she did at the gala awards, she should have been here by now. “Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for honoring our invitation. I am Kyle, the MC for the occasion. I formally welcome you to the Alpha King’s daughter’s welcome party.” Sounds of applause echoed in the air, so Alpha Nick hummed and forced a clap as well. “Sheridan Warner is very special to us, and when away, she took our hearts with her. Now that she’s back, our hearts are equally joyful.”
Chapter 70 零售80% 11:18 Tom was taking too long to wake up, having been beaten by Alpha Nick himself. Since Tom was guilty of sleeping with another man’s mate and rejecting his, even his wolf was against him, refusing to heal him. Therefore, his healing was extremely slow and painful. Medical facilities that could make the process faster were also far from him. In the end, Beta Dustin went to wake him with a bowl of water filled with ice cubes. Tom gasped when the cold water drenched his face, he picked up a few cubes, shoving them on the floor before his eyes drowsily opened to his environment. The stench was unbearable. The unique scent of Omegas, blended with the dusty scent of the room not being cleaned for weeks. It wasn’t too bad but for a man who was used to all the luxuries in the world, it was a terrible experience. The bed was clean bat the floor was unkempt, most probably waiting for Tom to clean it himself. “Where am I? Where is Charlotte?” He asked worriedly, wondering if he was in another world. This was far from the room he remembered sleeping in, and he had never been around the omegas‘ chambers before. His previous room was cozy and neat, the luxurious bed was soft with fluffy pillows but over here, the bed was very hard, and his muscles even ached. “You’ve been unconscious for two days, and all you can remember is Charlotte?” Beta Dustin folded his arms across his chest, staring down at him with a disdainful look. Confusion brewed in Tom’s mind as he tried to recall whatever had happened in the past two days, but there was no sign of them in his mind. “Unconscious? What do you mean?” It was as if he had been drugged as everything was a blur. Alpha Nick didn’t show him mercy at all. He ensured to render him unconscious to buy him enough time to destroy everything around him. Beta Dustin asked sarcastically, “Did you forget training with Alpha Nick? Sadly, you fell unconscious so he couldn’t help with your business.” He was internally rejoicing about Alpha Nick’s revenge plan, but it also got Beta Dustin afraid. Better to be on Alpha Nick’s good side because being on his bad side would only yield negative results. He was ruthless in dealing with the two people who betrayed him. 1/4 Emergency calls only Chapter 70 — 080%) 11:18 “It’s not too late. I can still see him,” Tom said seriously, looking around for his clothes but seeing the scattered room, he didn’t even want to touch anything in it. “Unfortunately, it’s too late because he left about an hour ago to the Alpha King’s daughter’s birthday party.” “Shit!” Tom hissed. He had no invitation as he was not in his pack but had intended to go with Alpha Nick for business purposes since he couldn’t make acquaintances at the gala awards. It was just too hard to keep his hands off Charlotte. “I have to be there too. For business connections, I mean.” Dustin smiled lightly, but disdain covered his eyes as he responded frantically. “Unfortunately, Alpha Nick left instructions for you not to be let out of the pack.” Tom frowned in confusion. He wasn’t a prisoner but a visitor to the Dark Moon pack, so how could his movement be restricted? “That can’t happen. I have businesses in New York City to attend to.” Dustin recalled the things Alpha Nick had done before leaving, wondering if Tom would be able to take the harsh news he was about to spill. “I was coming to that as well. Your phone was continuously ringing, but since you were unconscious, I answered it.” “What was the problem?” Tom panicked, guessing that something was not right for Dustin to have answered his phone. Dustin smiled. “Nothing much. One of the workers called to report that armed robbers broke into your warehouse and made away with everything. The CCTV footage was destroyed too.” He watched as Tom’s face turned into different shades of red and white. “You are joking, right?” His expression was stern as losing the items in his warehouse was tantamount to going bankrupt. Casually, Dustin extended his hand to where he dropped Tom’s phone. “That is your phone. Call and find out if only it hasn’t run out of battery.” Tom was finding it difficult to breathe at the mention of the news as he picked up his phone, and luckily, there was 10% battery life, so he dialed the current number. The receiver answered instantly and began to give a report. “Sir, I have been trying to reach you for a while.” “What is the problem?” Tom asked seriously. 2/4 Emergency calls only Chapter 70 80% 11:18 Sir, investors have withdrawn their shares because of the theft. The bank froze all the money in the account because of the loan you took from them. I didn’t have a choice but to temporarily close down the company,” his general manager said over the phone.
Chapter 69 Charlotte woke up after two days. Her body ached terribly, but that was not all. The room had a disgusting stench, usually accompanying omegas. Her eyes open opened gloomily to her environment, seeing the rather plain and small room she was in. Come to think. of it, her pains were worsened by the bed she slept on. Rising to a sitting position, her eyes checked her environment, disdain flooding through her veins. The shabby room was enough to chase out the pain she felt before, as all she wanted to do was get out of it. The pain she felt was a hint that she had not received medical treatment for her injuries. It was a painful process to await the healing of one’s wolf when terribly injured, and it also took a few days. Not. understanding the reason she was made to sleep in a servant’s room without receiving medical treatment, she thought about complaining to Alpha Nick. However, her full bladder drew her to a plain wooden door as she went inside to ease the discomfort of wanting to pee. The stench that met her nose was enough to make her barf. As if she was dreaming, she began screaming and hitting the door. “Let me out!” The door opened instantly, as if someone was waiting to hear her voice, and Beta Dustin stood at the doorway.. “What is the matter?” he asked with a blank expression. Charlotte’s eyes lit at the sight of Dustin, meaning she wasn’t dreaming, right? “Dustin, it’s good you are here. What am I doing here?” Throughout her stay at the packhouse, she never visited the servants‘ quarters, so this was all too strange to her. Dustin did not hold back and began to explain, “According to the Alpha, this is your punishment for the embarrassment you caused him by allowing yourself to get beaten by a mere warrior like Anita.” That was how he and Alpha Nick planned it. To pin all the blame on her so she wouldn’t suspect that he found out about her disgusting acts with Tom. When Alpha Nick came up with this plan, Dustin thought he was insane, but Charlotte’s reaction made it worthwhile. 1/4 Emergency calls only Chapter 69 ப 080% 11:18 She was as pale as a ghost. “What? He’s already aware of my weakness,” she said defensively before the thought of how Alpha Nick had insist that she improves on her battle skills before introducing her to pack business crossed her mind. She never imagined it would result in this. “Well, h he left instructions that unless you improved on your battle skills, you were not allowed into your previous room. He had your things removed, and you can find your clothes in that small wardrobe.” He pointed at the shabby thing in the corner. Charlotte did not bother to check, being repelled by everything in the room. Charlotte was knocked with dizziness by the information, but one thing was sure. As the daughter of the Gamma of her pack, she was not going to allow herself to be treated like an omega because she was not as tough as the regular she–wolves. “I’m not staying here, or I’d rather go back to my pack.” There was sternness in her tone. Alpha Nick loved her, that she was sure of. He even agreed to allow her anywhere as long as she was accompanied by some warriors. “Oh, that. The Alpha also said to inform you that until you both rejected each other, you are not allowed out of the pack,” Beta Dustin revealed, taunting, “he doesn’t want you to get kidnapped again.” “What nonsense? I demand to see him now.” Charlotte was furious. Who knew that her lie about getting kidnapped would result in this? Beta Dustin seemed to be enjoying this role, watching her suffer the way Alpha Nick did in her absence and how they all except. Athena mistreated Sheila because of her. “He went to the welcome and mate–finding party of the Alpha King’s prodigal daughter an hour ago. He should be back tomorrow, considering the distance.” Charlotte was saddened that Alpha Nick did not go with her as they had planned. He was not even interested, saying that Beta Dustin should represent him, but now, he left at the time she needed him most. At the time she was unconscious without knowing if she would get any better. “Alright. Until then, I will just go to my former room.” About to bypass Beta Dustin, he blocked her way. “I already told you that your things have been moved out. He had it cleaned so you aren’t allowed there anymore. Alpha Nick also stopped all works on your parents‘ house, saying he won’t continue until he sees improvement in your skills.” At this time, Charlotte’s face was red like a chili pepper. Sheila burned down her parents‘ house, and now, Alpha Nick has refused to allow the workers to continue working on it. This wasn’t fair to her, but then again, Beta 2/4 Emergency calls only Chapter 69 Dustin might just be pulling her legs. “You are just blabbing. I don’t believe you.” She still tried to bypass him, and though he didn’t stop her, he thought to keep her informed.
Chapter 68 080% 11:18 Beta Dustin said seriously, “When you see her again, do everything in your power to bring her back. Regret filled his heart so much that he didn’t think he would be okay until he saw Sheila again and treated her better. Life was such that one never knew the value of what they had until it was taken from them. Some even threw things away by themselves. “That is what I have in mind, and I want you to make a transfer of 500 million to Sherry’s Couture and Glamour. It’s a partnership spot I’m securing.” This was another way for Alpha Nick to be close to Sheila. It would be easy to use the partnership as an excuse to see her as she was all he thought about these days. “Okay, Alpha, but what if you find your mate later after investing so much in Sheila’s business? I know that your will get good returns; but I also know your reason is directed at winning her heart.” Alpha Nick released a breath he didn’t know he was holding. The secret was so heavy on his heart that he felt suffocated if he didn’t share it. “Dustin, keep what I’m about to reveal to you a secret,” he said seriously. Beta Dustin was curious but also knew he would never betray his Alpha’s trust. “Yes, Alpha.” “Somebody drugged me at the party, and I woke up to a bloodstain. It was obvious that something happened between me and a woman I don’t know. I know I took her virginity, and I also didn’t use protection. Until I find that woman and ensure she isn’t carrying my child or isn’t my second chance mate, I will never move on. Not even marrying Sheila again,” he revealed thoughtfully. Beta Dustin was shocked by the news and couldn’t help saying, “You couldn’t even do it with your mate, but you did it with a strange woman?” Alpha Nick’s lips pursed. He couldn’t understand it either but could only blame one thing. “I was drugged. I don’t even remember how it all happened, but I saw one of Sheila’s earrings, and I’m just hoping she’s the one.” Beta Dustin was slightly relieved, also hoping for it to be Sheila. She was already well known to the pack, so it would be easy for them to pick up from where they started, rather than with a strange woman. 1/4 Emergency calls onlyMu Chapter 68 080% 11:18 “I’m glad Brea went to visit her friends at other packs. I think you should call and let her stay longer. There is just too much going on around her.” “You are right. I will do that, but remind me to have a party for her on her birthday. She would be eighteen by then, so I intend to make it big, inviting all the pack members. I hope she finds her mate by then and doesn’t go through what we are going through,” Alpha Nick said honestly. Beta Dustin agreed. “I hope so too.” The next day, Alpha Nick was the first to arrive at training. One by one, the pack members arrived. None of them were late, except that the Alpha was too early, having himself to blame for his inability to sleep. Sheila’s things were in his room, and he kept her diamond earring as a trophy as well, hoping to meet and personally hand it over to her. Charlotte and Tom were the last to arrive at training, but Alpha Nick did not even look at them as he continued giving instructions and helping with the warriors‘ weaknesses as well as building on their strengths. Twenty minutes into the training, Charlotte rushed in, and Tom arrived five minutes later. They both joined the training until it was time for a water and pee break. Charlotte went to sit by Alpha Nick’s side as he pointed out calmly, his gaze straight, “You are late, why?” It was as if he was talking to somebody else, but it was just the two of them, as they maintained a five–inch gap. “I couldn’t sleep early last night and overslept later.” Alpha Nick did not say anymore as Beta Dustin brought him a bottle of water. He sipped a little and returned it to him. Charlotte grabbed the bottle before it reached Beta Dustin’s hand. “I’m thirsty. I’ll drink it.” He shrugged and left it for her, trying not to show that he knew all the filth about her. This was the most difficult thing Beta Dustin has had to do in his life. He was treating his enemy as a friend. Halfway through the second part of training, Alpha Nick called out, “Annie and Charlotte, move inside the circle. Annie, you attack. Charlotte, defend.” Charlotte scowled, annoyance filling her to have to fight with this bitch again. Alpha Nick constantly called her Annie, instead of Anita, irritating Charlotte even more. 2/4 Emergency calls only Chapter 68 080% 11:18 Annie, on the other hand, was afraid of hurting the Alpha’s mate, so her attacks were not strong. When Alpha Nick noticed it, he casually asked, “Annie, is this how you will attack if the pack is under an attack?” “No,” Annie answered, glaring at Charlotte, who looked like she wanted to murder Annie. Alpha Nick pretended to not see the changes in Charlotte’s expressions and rather emphasized, “So let’s just say, you u are both from enemy packs. Charlotte, if there’s an attack, I don’t think your defense is strong enough.” He spoke as if he cared, but the instruction made Anita aggressive like he wanted.
Chapter 67 081% 11:17 15 “Tell me your plans, and I will help you achieve them,” Beta Dustin said seriously, but Alpha Nick shook his head and asked him, “What about Sheila? Were you able to find out her whereabouts?” Alpha Nick wasn’t ready to reveal his plans until he was certain about Beta Dustin’s stand on Sheila after the revelation, knowing that the latter did not really like Sheila in the beginning. To Alpha Nick’s shock, Beta Dustin was rather remorseful. It was unexpected, and he regretted being so blind to all the signs just because Charlotte and Alpha Nick were mates. How could he have trusted her? Now he felt like Charlotte took both the Alpha and Beta of the Dark Moon Pack for granted. “I’m so sorry, Alpha, but the investigator said there was nothing on her.” Alpha Nick wasn’t surprised. With all the money Sheila had, she could do anything, including hiding her identity. “You shouldn’t use her name Sheila, but rather the CEO of Sherry’s Couture and Glamour. I wonder what the Sherry stands for. It might be an abbreviation of her real name.” “Could it be Sheridan?” Beta Dustin asked, feeling it was the perfect abbreviation for Sherry. Alpha Nick was a bit reluctant to accept it. Sheridan was a very elegant name, so why use Sherry? “Sheridan is abbreviated as Sheri. Why would she use ‘y‘ when they sound the same?” Alpha Nick mused to Beta Dustin. The latter thought for a while and asked, “I will still check with Sheridan, but what is her surname?” Alpha Nick calmed himself and thought carefully. “She mentioned Warner before, but I don’t know anymore. She’s so mysterious after the divorce.” “I will try my best. I need to apologize to her,” Beta Dustin said seriously. The revelation about Charlotte’s cheating did not break his trust in the mate bond, but he knew he had to be very careful. “What did you do to her?” Alpha Nick asked since Beta Dustin had no record of doing anything out of the ordinary against Sheila. EL “Nothing, but I just didn’t like her because she wasn’t your mate. I gave her the cold shoulder most times,” he 1/4 Emergency calls only MOF… Chapter 67 D81% 11:17 confessed sincerely, so he’d be able to hold Sheila’s gaze, just in case she was able to return to the Dark Moon Pack. +5 Alpha Nick was equally remorseful. “She saved my face on that day, but I never even thanked or appreciated her, just thinking that she took advantage of the situation.” Recalling that Sheila had warned him against Charlotte, he kept wondering why she knew so much and kept mute about it. Then again, even if she had mentioned it, Alpha Nick would have never believed it. “Since you saw her, didn’t you get anything?” Dustin asked suspiciously. Alpha Nick’s expression was sorrowful upon recalling Sheila’s words when confronted with the lies she had said to him. was be “No. Even when I asked about why she lied about being an orphan, she said it was because I became her everything when she fell in love with me. Can you understand the extent of the damage I caused her because of Charlotte?” He sounded so bitter that all he wanted to do was subject both Charlotte and Tom to public execution. Sadly, that would not bring Sheila back. He would have to find a better way of making them pay for all their wrongs towards him. Dustin was equally bitter. He undermined Sheila because of her battle skills and great leadership abilities, unknown to him that she was far more than that. Feeling foolish for not recognizing a good woman, he couldn’t also blame Alpha Nick for all that has happened between him and Sheila. “I understand, but it’s not your fault. We were all trained to respect the mate bond.” Alpha Nick felt his words were coated out of context. “No. That didn’t approve of my disrespecting her. She gave her all, expecting nothing when my destined mate only planned to steal money from the pack’s accounts.” He could have respected the mate bond by waiting patiently for Charlotte, but it didn’t warrant his mean attitude towards Sheila. Come to think of it, he was the one using her the whole time as it was only him and his pack members who benefited from her. Sheila did not benefit from anything nor gain anything throughout her time spent, and yet, Charlotte, his destined mate, was only there for the money. Beta Dustin was even more pained at the revelation. No wonder Charlotte returned. It was because Tom’s company was not doing so well. “I never expected Charlotte to be a gold digger and also did some wrongs to 2/4 Emergency calls only MO Chapter 67 Sheila, but do you intend to marry her again even as she isn’t your mate?” 081% 11:17 Alpha Nick knew that if given the opportunity to marry Sheila again, then he’d be the luckiest man on earth, but the woman he saw at the gala awards was so cold towards him. “She isn’t my mate, but I don’t feel repulsed by her like I was of Charlotte when she returned. I can live in
Chapter 66 081% | 11:17 All gazes were fixed on the top of the stairs. Alpha Nick’s eyes turned red when he saw Tom behind Charlotte, but the next moment, Charlotte ran down the stairs and enveloped Alpha Nick in a big bear hug. He instantly pushed her away, his gaze fixed on Tom. The latter’s eyes were dark, but Alpha Nick had a smirk on his face. How long would Tom hold back upon seeing Alpha Nick mistreat his mate? His actions made them forget to inquire about where he had been and how he managed to change his clothes. “Nick, I almost fell,” Charlotte said with tears in her eyes. If one of the bodyguards had not supported her in time, thinking that Alpha Nick had accidentally pushed her, she would have fallen. However, Alpha Nick looked on nonchalantly. “So what? You didn’t–fall, did you?” He sneered at her. It was obvious that Charlotte and Tom had no idea that he had seen them, as Charlotte was speechless about his change in attitude. This was the first time Alpha Nick had behaved this way towards her, and she could only attribute it to the events of the previous night. “Nick, I’m sorry, but I didn’t lie to you. The names were merely a coincidence between Sheila’s collections and mine.” That was the excuse she came up with, thinking that it was the reason Alpha Nick was playing along. But upon hearing Sheila’s name again, Alpha Nick decided to change his revenge plan. Sheila had endured a lot in this pack because of how he waited for Charlotte, so how could he make things easy for her by just letting her walk away? No, she had to feel a double portion of everything he had put Sheila through. It would be a fitting revenge because of the mate bond. Charlotte would feel it more intensely than Sheila did, since she was Alpha Nick’s mate. This explained the repulsion he was feeling ever since Charlotte’s return. She wasn’t pure and not deserving to be the Luna of the Dark Moon Pack.. “Did I hear you mention Sheila?” Athena asked as she descended the stairs. The moment she heard Sheila’s name, she left her room with Tedmond in tow. Alpha Nick’s head lowered at the sight of his mother, shame covering his eyes. His mother had warned him severally, but he had chosen to rely only on the mate bond rather than using his senses too. 1/5 Emergency calls only Chapter 66 081% 11:17 “Yes, Mom, Sheila lied to you. To all of us,” he said. Athena frowned slightly in confusion, but Charlotte had a gleam in her eyes. Alpha Nick must have found out something dirty about Sheila, which would make Charlotte happy since Tom had ruined her plans of messing up Sheila. Back then, she had hardly recognized Sheila until Alpha Nick mentioned her. But before she could cause any problems, Tom had taken up all her time, and going back to the auditorium with Alpha Nick missing, she had forgotten all about Sheila. “Are you serious?” Beta Dustin asked, just arriving after hearing that Alpha Nick had returned. Since he didn’t like Sheila, he was eager to hear more dirt about her. “Sheila is not an orphan, and she is not a pauper.” Beta Dustin’s face fell, and so did Charlotte’s. This wasn’t what they had expected to hear. It was as if Sheila was being exonerated rather than disgraced, as they heard Alpha Nick’s next words. “She owns a luxury collection of clothing and jewelry, Sherry’s Couture and Glamour.” Athena was the first to break the tension with a joke as she spoke excitedly, “That explains the bracelet she gave me. I’m the only one laughing now. But wait a minute, what does that have to do with you or them? When are you going to mate with your mate?” Athena was not going to make it easy for him. Even if Sheila’s identity was revealed, it was not enough for Alpha Nick to avoid mating with Charlotte, right? Alpha Nick let out a helpless sigh, knowing his mother was trying to provoke him. “Mom, I need time because Charlotte and I have a few things to discuss in private.” Grabbing Charlotte’s arm, he yanked her towards the stairs. She cast a helpless look at Tom, who stood in the way. “Nick, you seem angry about something. Don’t you think we should all hear about it?” Tom was afraid that Nick might hurt Charlotte for reasons he couldn’t quite pinpoint. Alpha Nick glared mockingly at him, having a faint idea of how to deal with Tom tomorrow. For now, he was trying to create a scene so no one would ask about what had happened to him since he had no idea who the woman, he had slept with was. just Deep down, he wished it was Sheila and couldn’t wait to see her again in two days to clarify the mystery of her 2/5 Emergency calls onlyMF… Chapter 66 earring in his hotel room. D81% 11:17 “This is between me and my mate. Now, when are you leaving?” he asked harshly. Tom covered his mouth with his hand to fake a desperate cough. “Are you sacking me?” Alpha Nick slowly shook his head. How could he fire him when he hadn’t even begun to mess up his life? “No. The pack house is big enough. You are free to stay for as long as you want,” Alpha Nick said with a smile that sent shivers down Tom’s spine. Why did the smile look so menacing? “I need some business ideas too,” Tom asked, recovering from his fears. Maybe he had misread the situation. If Alpha Nick had anything against him, he wouldn’t have allowed him to stay. w, we can talk “Great,” Alpha Nick burst into laughter. It was time to mess with the idiot. “After training tomorrow, in the office.” Tom sighed with relief. Perhaps after Alpha Nick helped with his business, he wouldn’t have to wait for the money anymore and could just elope with Charlotte as they had done before.
20811 1116 Last night, after Alpha Nick’s disappearance with Sheila, Charlotte had searched for him everywhere, having no choice but to return to Tom to report to him. “Alpha Nick. I can’t find him,” Charlotte said. Tom was rather excited about it. If something happened to Alpha Nick, they could get something worthwhile before Beta Dustin was made the new Alpha. “That is strange. Have you called his number? What about his bodyguards?” He asked, though knowing that the guards were not allowed into the auditorium. Unless Alpha Nick had stepped out of the hotel itself, his bodyguards wouldn’t know. dyguards wo “It’s all switched off. The bodyguards are clueless,” Charlotte reported worriedly. She had come up with the perfect lie to Alpha Nick’s question, but he was now nowhere to be found. “Does it mean he left you behind?” Tom asked, unamused at the fact that Charlotte was falling in love with Alpha Nick. “He won’t do that,” Charlotte spoke sternly, remembering how Alpha Nick had refused for Tom to drive her. It was impossible for him to leave her behind when he knew that Tom was around. He might not know the relationship between them, but it was clear to Charlotte that Alpha Nick was protective of her. “Then let’s see if we can find his car,” Tom suggested as he did not want to be useless. There were so many guests, so it was hard to know if Alpha Nick was still in the building. Only his car would tell. The two searched and found the car parked at the same spot in the underground car park of the hotel. “Then where could he be?” Charlotte’s worry aggravated, Tom was equally helpless this time, not knowing what to do in this situation and not really caring about it. “I don’t know, but he isn’t a kid. Wherever he is, he will find his way back. We’ve done our best, so let’s just return to the pack. Maybe someone gave him a lift there,” Tom shrugged. The fact that Charlotte was so worried about Alpha Nick was already a pain to him. 1/4 Emergency calls only bu Chapter 65 081% 11.16 Charlotte shook her head, lost in deep thought. “This is strange. Alpha Nick would never leave me here alone. Tom sneered, “It still happened, and I can’t leave you here. Let’s return to the pack,” he suggested. He didn’t want to regret accepting the rejection of that hot mate of his. The fact was, what he had with Charlotte was so deep, he couldn’t let her go. “What do I tell ma’am and Beta Dustin?” Charlotte whined, thumping her foot at the car park. She didn’t want to leave without Alpha Nick. “Do what you do best. Look pitiful and cry out to them. You don’t know his whereabouts anyway, and the trick is not to make them feel suspicious. Also, you can use the opportunity to offer help and check the company’s account,” Tom suggested with a sinister grin. If Alpha Nick was not found, it was the right time to get what they want and disappear before he appears or news about his death goes viral. Charlotte, fearing the lies she had said, was partly on par with what Tom was suggesting. “Okay.” Arriving at the park, it was already the wee hours of the morning. The bodyguards equally arrived to give the information to Athena and Tedmond, who were equally disturbed. Try as they did, Alpha Nick’s phone was switched off, and no one could get through to him. Beta Dustin was set to begin conducting a search if the confusion continued until morning. Sleep was far from those at the packhouse until the next morning when Beta Dustin led training, not giving the pack members a hint about the disappearance of Alpha Nick. As soon as training was over, Charlotte ran up to him. “Dustin, we don’t know where Nick is. Let me help you at the office. I’m not very strong with training but very knowledgeable in the business aspect.” Beta Dustin thought for a while. Alpha Nick had not directly told him to not allow Charlotte. He was only concerned about her battle skills. “Alright. You are soon going to be the Luna anyway.” Charlotte grinned, not expecting it to be so easy. It seemed to her that Beta Dustin was so easy to manipulate. How could he not operate with even just a little caution? On their way to the office, Beta Dustin’s phone rang as he stalled to receive the call. Due to the excitement of getting introduced to the office work, Charlotte walked ahead. 2/4 Emergency calls only Chapter 65 As Dustin saw the caller ID, his eyes widened as shock and excitement sprang from his voice. €081% D11 11.16 “Alpha, thank goddess you are safe. Your mate returned a few hours ago with Tom. She was crying that something must have happened
Chapter 64 081% 11.16 Alpha Nick may not remember what happened after he took that drink, but the piece of earring belongs to someone he saw at the event. It was Sheila. However, since he couldn’t recall the details of whatever happened last night, he couldn’t confirm if it was her blood on the linen. What if it was just a coincidence? He needed to see her to clarify things between them. Remembering the card she gave him, he picked up the hotel phone and dialed the number on it, which was instantly answered. “Welcome to Sherry’s Couture and Glamour. I’m Belle, your manager.” Π Alpha Nick didn’t have time for pleasantries, yelling, “Put Sheila on the line,” he demanded. “I’m sorry, but I don’t know who you are talking about,” the woman at the end of the line responded curtly. Alpha Nick was upset. Then he remembered that no one had called her Sheila at the whole event except him. Was her name Sheila also a secret? Recalling how she had said that she left everything for him, he felt terrible. “I mean your boss, Sherry.” “I’m sorry, sir, but she never shows up at the office,” Belle maintained curt responses, hoping to hear something different but not another annoying demand. “Then give me her number.” For courtesy’s sake, Sherry didn’t want to hang up on whoever this potential customer was, even as her patience was reaching its limit. She maintained politeness in her tone, responding once more. “If she wanted, she would have given it to you herself. I presume that you are not calling for business, so I will hang up now.” “I’m calling for a business worth five hundred million, but I want your boss,” Alpha Nick proposed before she had. the chance to end the call. Turning the demand into a business matter, Belle’s voice was covered in warmth. “I will send your message. across. If it piques her interest, then she will get in touch with you.” “Just give me her number,” Alpha Nick demanded once more, knowing that Sheila would not call him no matter what. For goodness‘ sake, she had even blocked his number. 1/4 Emergency calls only M Chapter 64 2081% O “I’m sorry, sir, but is there anything else you want to discuss regarding business?” Belle asked, hinting that she was going to end the call. Alpha Nick felt helpless. Gone were the days when Sheila was always there when he got back from everywhere he went, welcoming him calmly and begging him to eat. Now, she was so far from reach, he couldn’t even speak to her directly. He was about to give up before remembering the earring. “My name is Alpha Nick, and I have something that belongs to her. If she doesn’t see me, I will discard it, and mind you, it’s a diamond.” Belle found herself in a difficult position. It was only yesterday that she found out her boss had been married to Alpha Nick and divorced. At the party, she saw her boss in an intimate position with Alpha Nick before they both entered the elevator, and that was the last anyone saw of them. Who knew if it was the diamond necklace he was talking about? way Also, they all kept searching for their boss last night, but she was nowhere to be found, her phone switched off. She had to think of something fast. “Alpha Nick, I’m sorry I can’t go against my boss’s orders, but I believe she will be at the party for the Alpha King’s daughter in two days.” Alpha Nick had received the invitation for that birthday party but wanted Beta Dustin to represent him. Now that he got this heads up, he wasn’t going to miss it for anything. “Thank you for your help.” After showering, he couldn’t wear his clothes scattered on the floor anymore, so he called room service to get him some clothes. As he waited for the delivery, he got in touch with the hotel’s IT department, placing a demand. “I want the CCTV footage of the events of last night.” “I’m sorry, sir, but that is not available,” a male voice responded sternly. Alpha pursed his lips thoughtfully. He didn’t want to mention his name, even though that would have made things easy, opening the doors of opportunity for him, but rather said, “I’m willing to pay.” “I will have to call you back,” the male voice said and ended the call. A few minutes later, there was a knock on his door. Alpha Nick expected a man, but a woman stood there when 2/4 16 Emergency calls only b Chapter 64 001% #11 16 he opened the door. Seeing Alpha Nick in person, her jaws dropped. In his towel robe, he looked just like a sex god, and she lost her voice momentarily. “You are?” Alpha Nick asked with a cold gaze. “The… the CCTV footage,” she stammered, her cheeks staining red from blushing so hard. Alpha Nick held the door, and she walked in, her knees wobbling from the exciting cling of her body.
Alpha Ansaldo wanted to beg her. He wanted to apologize, but Goldie was there and might lose respect for him. Moreover, Sheila had not mentioned his crime, which was a great form of relief. It was better for him to leave now with his dignity intact than to try smoothing things and end up in an even bigger mess. “I’m sorry,” he murmured and just like that, strode towards his car and drove away. He could not forget the blend of emotions in Sheila’s eyes when she spoke to him. They were ones of pain, anguish, and disdain. He had to find time to meet her again to apologize, but for now, it was good to let her be. Sadly, his plan to make Sheridan his by whatever means failed. In Goldie and Sheridan’s car, there was an awkward silence as Goldie drove out of the car park. It was long since she saw Sheridan so furious, not even after her divorce. “I’m sorry I couldn’t watch over you,” Goldie said with regret, adding, the mate bond seems to be such a curse. Sheridan thought she was referring to Alpha Nick leaving her for Charlotte, causing Alpha Ansaldo to take advantage of the situation. Though not knowing the details, she guessed Alpha Ansaldo had done something very bad. “It’s not your fault. Neither is it the fault of the mate bond. I am the one to blame for disrespecting it.” Sheridan could only blame herself for everything. It had never been well with anyone going against the mate bond, so she had to swallow her pain like the strong woman she was and would not blame anybody for it. “Where have you been? I saw how you walked. What happened?” Goldie asked. She hadn’t mated before, but that didn’t mean she was naïve. The Sheridan she knew would never step out with her hair so disheveled. Also, one of her dazzling diamond earrings was missing, and it didn’t seem like she noticed it. Sheridan smiled bitterly. What happened between her and Alpha Nick was the strangest there was, and she was glad to have cleaned up her messes. He would never find her out, and that was enough for her. “Alpha Ansaldo drugged me, and I ended up in bed with Alpha Nick,” she said honestly, gazing out of the window to be distracted by its beautiful scenery. How she envied her lovely environs, wishing her life could also be this beautiful. 1/4 Emergency calls only 6 Chapter 63 D81% 111 16 “What?” Goldie was dumbfounded, not believing what she just heard. It was as if her ears were playing tricks on her. Sheridan sighed and said, “I don’t want anyone to know about it, not even him.” Goldie frowned deeply, worry nudging her at Sheridan’s words. How could she keep something like that from Alpha Nick when it was both of them in the act? She needed a greater understanding at this juncture. “What do you mean by not even him? Doesn’t he know already?” “He would forget everything when he wakes up. I researched the drug. I can’t even remember anything, but! hacked into the hotel CCTVs and knew.” Goldie let out a mean smile. It was as if someone did her job for her, revenging on her behalf. “Well then, good. Karma did my dirty job for me.” Sheridan was forced to tear her eyes off the beautiful scenery from before, focusing her attention on her cousin and closest friend. “What are you talking about?” Goldie’s fingers tightened around the steering wheel, and her teeth gritted at the thought. “Charlotte was fucking my mate, and you fucked hers. Perfect revenge from Karma,” she shrugged, instantly relaxing. She was free from the bond because she rejected her mate, but it hurt her so badly that a woman like Charlotte was chosen over Sheila in the name of a mate bond. Goldie’s only worry at this moment was Sheila and not even herself. It was as if she just dropped a bomb. Things were getting more and more interesting for Sheridan. “Wait, you mean Tom is your mate?” The way she mentioned the name plus her demeanor was a firm assurance that Sheila knew something deeper. “You know him?” Goldie asked incredulously. “Yes. During the times Charlotte and I were best friends. She always flaunted him around. That is the reason! wasn’t scared to marry Alpha Nick even when I knew he was mated to Charlotte. I thought the bond would be broken when one party loved another.” “The bond can only be broken through rejection,” Goldie corrected. Sheridan had to agree that it was true. If not, Alpha Nick wouldn’t have been wrapped around Charlotte’s fingers up until now. 2/4 Emergency calls only u Chapter 63 D81% 11:16 “I realized it too late,” Sheridan admitted with regret. She should have just waited for her mate but went on to marry Alpha Nick. Now, she lost interest in the mate bond altogether. “That is understandable. I rejected him too, and I don’t care if I’m not mated again,” Charlotte shrugged. Over her dead body would she be with someone like Tom. She’d rather die. Sheridan couldn’t help agreeing with her. It wasn’t because they were both unmated she–wolves but the fact that Goldie deserved better after waiting for so long. “I would have done the same, but I really hope that you find your second chance mate,” Sheridan said honestly, suddenly becoming conscious of her looks as they got close to her pack. She began to arrange her disheveled hair, gazing into the rearview mirror and froze. “Who knows if he’s also going to be an asshole?” Goldie replied, not realizing the change in Sheridan as she focused her attention on the road, adding, “You
