After leaving the restaurant, Sheila called Goldie on the phone. “I need someone to set one of the Bane pack gamma houses on fire. I don’t want anyone to die yet.”
She had been warning Charlotte for a long time, and now it was time to put her words into action. She no longer cared about what anyone thought of her. Accepting defeat had opened her eyes to a future of unlimited
freedom.
“What happened?” Goldie asked, surprised by the sudden revelation. Sheila, was not in a position to give instructions to the warriors in her pack at the moment, so Goldie was the only one who could do so.
Sheila’s authority would only be restored after she patched things up with her father.
Not even her mother would be able to save her until that was done. “The bitch sent thugs after me again. She didn’t heed my warning, so I want to teach her a lesson. Next time, I will make sure her parents are in it.”
Unlike Charlotte, Sheila would not only kill off her enemy. What pain would there be if she did so? It was better to target the family of her enemy, to see her alive but in grief.
Goldie was upset and wanted to blow their cover to bring Sheila to justice. However, she couldn’t help but feel satisfaction hearing that Sheila was beginning to avenge herself. That singular act was enough for her.
“That’s more like the Sheridan I know.”
Sheila chuckled and ended the call. It was good to have someone who understood her quite well. In such situations, she didn’t have to repeat herself. Before she reached the hotel, she received a call from Goldie.
“Done.”
Taken aback, Sheila remarked, “That was faster than I thought.” It hadn’t been thirty minutes since they spoke, and action had already been taken. Sheila missed her old self and the authority she had as the Alpha King’s
daughter.
“You know how our warriors cannot be messed with. They have allies close to their pack, so it wasn’t hard to set the fire and run away as if it was an accident.”
“Good planning. I’m coming up,” Sheila said after pulling over at the hotel’s parking lot. The next day, Goldie insisted on going with Sheila to the Dark Moon pack, but she refused.

“I can take care of myself. I am not so weak. Besides, it’s difficult to pretend when I’m divorced. Alpha Nick is being suspicious.” Thus, Goldie’s presence might blow her cover since she wouldn’t be able to lie about it when
asked.
Arriving at the pack, the gates opened before Sheila could utter a word. She was dressed in training gear and parked in front of the ultra–modern gym.
Assuring herself that this was going to be her last time there, she stepped out of the car. Before she opened the door, Alpha Nick was there like a gentleman and opened it for her.
Sheila was conflicted. It was only after the divorce that Alpha Nick treated her like a person. Before then, she was just an object passing time in his packhouse. Forcing a smile for the sake of the pack members, she walked in.
Charlotte could not hold her gaze with her swollen eyes. Yesterday, she received a call that her parents‘ house in the pack had been burned down. They were now squatting with neighbors as their extravagant lifestyle could not leave them with enough money to build a new house.
That would terribly drain their finances, as was the reason why financial support was needed from Charlotte. Though Alpha Nick had promised to help, it would take at least three months for the house to be completed:
Her parents were ashamed to be residing with lower–ranking pack members and hence the pressure. At the Bane’s pack, the packhouse only hosted the Alpha and Beta’s family with visiting Alphas. So there was no room for them to take in the gamma’s family..
As Alpha Nick was saying something to Beta Dustin, Sheila took advantage of the distraction, whispering in Charlotte’s ear, “I hope you liked the parcel I sent to your parents‘ home? Next time, I will make sure they are in
the house.”
Unlike Charlotte, Sheila was not afraid to admit it. Charlotte’s teeth gritted and her face turned ashen. Throughout the years, Sheila had only given empty threats and never fought back, but this time, she was in for a shock.
“What is the matter?” Alpha Nick asked Charlotte, seeing her paler than before. There was also a grave fear in her eyes which disturbed him. Sheila responded in her stead, her expression blooming with innocence.
“She looks pale. I was wondering if there is anything wrong with her.”
Charlotte, upon seeing this side of Sheila for the first time, was speechless. Alpha Nick’s gaze was warm as he explained things gently to Sheila.

“Did you not hear that there was a fire at her father’s house in the pack? It’s strange how her family’s house caught fire.”
Sheila was about to say something, but the pack members were already all over her. “Luna Sheila, I missed you so much.” Anita hugged her and spoke with tears in her eyes. Pulling away, she stared deeply at Sheila.
“Luna, you’ve changed a lot. You look so stunning.”
Anita was Sheila’s favorite because of how fragile she was. Extra time was devoted to turning her into what she currently is, bringing them closer than the rest of the team.
“On the contrary, you look diminished. Did someb*dy bully you? You don’t have to hide it from me.” Sheila was disturbed to see her like that. It had only been a few days, and Anita was already looking too thin.
Anita cleared the air. “No one bullied me. I was just afraid that you wouldn’t come back.” She didn’t add that she had been having sleepless nights because of the Luna’s absence.
“But I’m here,” Sheila tenderly stroked her hair but could still not bring back the light in Anita’s eyes. The only thing that would make her feel better was if Sheila agreed to stay.
“Alpha said you’ll be traveling for a while.” She gazed at Sheila with expectation, hoping she would change her
mind.
Sheila never thought it would be hard and suddenly understood what Alpha Nick said. Being with the pack members once again, especially her trainees, sorrow laced heavily on her heart as she confirmed Alpha Nick’s
words.
“That is true, but don’t worry, Alpha Nick has very good plans for you.”
Indirectly, she was shifting the problem back to him. She had no intention of coming back and didn’t want to give them false hope, but one of the warriors who was not even among her trainees asked,
“Luna, if you are going for a while, there must be a timeline to it. Or, is it because of the Alpha’s mate?” Everywhere went quiet as all gazes pinned on Charlotte, making her uneasy.
