Chapter 24
Sheila yawned, visibly annoyed by the question. If a powerful Alpha like Nick, with all his resources, could not investigate the matter concerning Charlotte’s disappearance thoroughly, deciding to rely on the mate bond, then what has that got to do with her?
Besides, Alpha Nick would never believe her. He might think she was doing it out of jealousy. Finally, she had a great responsibility on her hands, so how could she get entangled in their mess?
“I’m afraid I don’t know what you are talking about. I guess I’ve drunk too much,” she shrugged.
Beta Gustav knew that it wasn’t true but didn’t expose her. Whatever it was Sheila was hiding, he was equally interested. Sheila was very much alert as she had not drunk much.
Alpha Nick stared keenly at her before asking seriously, “Do you know anything about the kidnapping?”
“What? You think that I hired some thugs to kidnap her?” Sheila was very much disappointed as Alpha Nick revealed his suspicions.
“She disappeared on our wedding day, and you appeared at the same time. It couldn’t just be a coincidence, right?”
Sheila was lost for words at his suspicious analysis. How could she not have known that Alpha Nick was so obsessed with the mate bond, making him lose his sense of logical reasoning?
When Sheila locked eyes with him, she felt like the last drop of hope she had in him reduced to zero. “You know what? If you think that I have a hand in her disappearance, then you don’t know me. What did I even see in you? Alpha Nick, I’m very disappointed.”
She didn’t mince words this time and without giving room for another word from him, Sheila walked to the car
with Goldie, her heart burning with pain.
Alpha Nick watched helplessly until that yellow Ferrari disappeared in the distance. Why did he suddenly feel so empty? He didn’t feel that way when Charlotte left. Maybe, it was because he would see her again tomorrow.
As for Sheila, their next meeting would finalize their divorce. The woman who used to walk on eggshells around him suddenly grew some horns right after leaving him. Alpha Nick was conflicted.

Beta Gustav was about to walk back into the club when Alpha Nick’s anger directed at him. If Alpha Nick had not followed Charlotte because of his discomfort of what she wore, who knows what would have happened between
Gustav and Sheila?
For some reason, he never wanted to see them together, no matter what. It was the same for any other man, be it an Alpha or Beta. Alpha Nick did not want even the Alpha King to get close to Sheila.
“Even after divorce, you have no right to chase after a woman who was once mine,” he warned seriously. Beta Gustav was upset. He might not know the genesis of the story but had heard enough to know that the marriage
was a contract.
“Alpha Nick, with all due respect, your marriage was a contract, which means that you never even marked each other. She looks pretty free to me.” Thus, Gustav was not going to back down.
Alpha Nick was not liking his attitude and thought to spell it clearly. “Beta Gustav, are you ready to lead your pack to war for her?“–
Beta Gustav’s face fell. He didn’t have that power. Alpha Nick sighed. “Well, this is my last warning. Stay away
from my wife.”
At that, he sat in his car and drove away. Beta Gustav was perplexed as he had no intention to obey Alpha Nick.
However, he didn’t even have Sheila nor Goldie’s number and could only wait for the opportunity to see either of them again.
Alpha Nick woke up early for training the next day. Due to his previous early appearance, the warriors arrived earlier than usual. The former weak warriors trained by Sheila joined the main training to the shock of everyone
present.
For security reasons, Beta Dustin had checked into another room at the hotel he lodged Charlotte and was supposed to return with her to the pack later in the day. As such, he couldn’t be there to answer any questions
on behalf of his Alpha.
The warriors were surprised to see the new faces during training, waiting for the Alpha to send them away, but Alpha Nick only announced, “Sit down, everyone.”
They obeyed, and after they had all settled down, he went on to say, “Today’s training will be different. You are to tell me where your weakness lies, and someb*dy among you will help with a solution from their own
experience.”

“If we don’t get anyone from among you to do so, then I will do it myself, so who goes first?”
One of the warriors, Aspen’s hand was lifted. “Aspen, where is your weakness?” Alpha Nick asked calmly. Aspen exchanged glances with a few warriors who nodded and gave him thumbs up.
“Alpha, I want to ask a question.” His friends were nodding their heads in support since he was speaking on their behalf as well. Alpha Nick was finding it hard to break the news about Sheila to them because Charlotte could
not lead them like Sheila did.
This was part of the reason why he resorted to this method, hoping that no one would ask about Sheila early on.
“Go ahead.”
“Beta Dastin exempted these warriors from training. They are supposed to be among the omegas, so why are they here?” Aspen–asked politely. There was no hate in his tone, but he wanted to know the reason for the changes.
“I told them to come,” Alpha Nick casually responded. “They were exempted because they were weak, but not anymore. Do you wanna bet?” He asked calmly.
Aspen took up the challenge as Alpha Nick asked Sheila’s warriors, “which of you will go first.”
The smallest among them, Anita, who was also the only female raised her hand. “Alpha, I want to try.”
All eyes widened because Aspen was very skilled. Alpha Nick was also not expecting it, but this was his chance to
see exactly how tough Sheila was. After all, a student would fight like his or her master…
