Chapter 26
Beta Dustin took deep breaths to calm himself, feeling embarrassed to be at an equal level with Sheila’s trainee. Did it mean that Sheila could defeat him in a fight?
“It doesn’t change anything. Your mate is here, so stop thinking about Sheila. You already divorced her,” he
retorted with his voice lowered.
Alpha Nick sensed the hostility in his tone at the mention of Sheila’s name. He didn’t even add her title to it. He spoke calmly. “I did, but I owe this to the pack.”
Beta Dustin frowned as suspicion glazed his eyes. “What are you planning to do?”
Alpha Nick did not see a reason to reveal his plan to him but was speaking in a whisper. “Sheila has to meet them.
for the last time.”
Beta Dustin didn’t like the idea and tried to discourage Alpha Nick from it. “Alpha Nick, that isn’t fair to your
mate. She already endured so much.”
Somehow, Alpha Nick felt that Dustin’s concern was not really for Charlotte per se. “Why do I sense that you hate Sheila? What did she do to you?” He asked directly, and Beta Dustin’s head lowered instantly.
“Alpha, I don’t hate her. I’m only afraid that she would turn the pack against you.” He was speaking for himself but said it in a way to favor Alpha Nick. It didn’t seem to work as disbelief settled in Alpha Nick’s eyes..
“Does she look like that kind of person to you? She even refused her alimony.”
Beta Dustin was so upset, he couldn’t get over the embarrassment. “What if she did it to make you feel guilty like you are doing now?” He always tried to tune Alpha Nick’s mind to Charlotte throughout his marriage to Sheila and was still using the same method.
This time around, after everything that’s happened, Alpha Nick had doubts. “Sheila would not do…”
“Nick, how do I look?” Charlotte asked from behind, interrupting the conversation. Alpha Nick turned around to
look at the sweatpants she now wore.
“Better. Join training. I have to make a call.”

Beta Dustin knew who he was going to call, and with Charlotte’s presence, he tried to stop Alpha Nick. “Alpha, I hope you aren’t calling Sheila?”

Alpha Nick was about to address his not calling Sheila by her title when Charlotte interrupted with a pitiful look, looking hurt. “Nick, are you calling her?”
Alpha Nick reluctantly lowered his phone due to the painful look in Charlotte’s eyes. “Let’s talk about it later, but you have a lot to learn.” He turned to the trainees. “Now let’s proceed with what we were discussing before.”
One of the warriors, Obed, raised his hand to speak. “Alpha, how can I defeat someone in wolf form without shifting?”
“Simple, run,” Alpha Nick spoke with amusement in his tone. Everyone laughed as he explained, “you just can’t defeat a wolf in your physical form unless you have practiced it, but why take the risk when you can equally use your wolf?”
Obed explained his reason for asking the question since he was among Sheila’s trainees. “Alpha, we haven’t. trained in wolf form.”
Alpha Nick pursed his lips in understanding and was about to say something when Anita added, “Luna Sheila said it was going to be our next stage of training, but she never showed up after.”
Charlotte’s teeth ground together, they felt like wax in her mouth. Even in Sheila’s absence, her name was still all over the pack. Charlotte shook her head, thinking about how to make Sheila disappear forever.
“Like I said, there has been an emergency, and she has to travel for some time,” Alpha Nick said calmly, but Charlotte’s face fell. She couldn’t wait until training was over before approaching Alpha Nick and asking him,
“What are you doing? When are you going to give them the news about the divorce?” She hated that Alpha Nick changed the plan without consulting her.
He was supposed to announce the divorce to the pack and introduce her, but creating the excuse that Sheila. traveled would only make the warriors long for her even more.
“Right after you prove capable of filling the gap. Sheila has trained a lot of weak warriors, and they have built a lot of trust in her. Announcing you anytime soon would only break their trust in me and the pack,” Alpha Nick explained seriously.
With matters of the pack, he would put all other things aside and do the needful. Charlotte could not help, so all

“So how are you going to introduce me?” Charlotte was already fighting the tears that threatened to fall, not wanting to embarrass herself in front of the warriors.
Alpha Nick’s response broke her even more. “I don’t need to do any introduction. They already know you as my mate. We just have to hold on with the coronation.”

Charlotte was as pale as a ghost but also knew that Alpha Nick was in a tight situation now. The only bring his attention back to her was to train harder. “Alright. I will work hard.”
“Good,” Alpha Nick responded with an approving smile. He directed his attention to the trainees once again.
“I guess none of you have any weakness that you know of, so I’m going to be the one asking the questions next.”

None of the warriors wanted to fall into the Alpha’s trap as a zillion of them lifted their hands simultaneously. “Alpha, I have a question,” they said together. Amusement laced the corner of Alpha Nick’s lips as he took in their questions one after the other.
By the time training was over, Alpha Nick was exhausted, not from physical activity but because of Sheila. He was also certain that henceforth, his presence was well needed during training to complete what Sheila started.
with those warriors.
“So how are you going to get Sheila to come over for the goodbye message?” Beta Dustin asked when Alpha Nick discharged the warriors and trainees. Alpha Nick smiled faintly.

“I have my ways with her.”
Beta Dustin did not look pleased but couldn’t stop him. Alpha Nick retrieved his phone from the pocket of his sweat pants and dialed Sheila’s number. It rang, but she didn’t answer the phone.
When she kept ignoring it continuously for the fifth time, he sent her a message that forced her to instantly
return his call.
“If you don’t answer my call now, don’t expect me to show up in court for the final divorce procedures.”
His phone rang instantly as he spoke, and as soon as he answered it. “Sheila, I need a favor.”
