“Alpha Nick, what are you doing?” Sheila asked in annoyance, not understanding what kind of game Alpha Nick was playing with her. He didn’t want her, so why was it so hard for him to let her go?
Alpha Nick stared at her, his gaze serious and dark. “I can’t let you leave without anything. I won’t accept it.”
Sheila’s breath caught in her throat. Her father was richer than Alpha Nick, so why take half of his pack?
Aside from their usual pack businesses, the Alpha King, Julius Warner of the Moon Shine Pack, was responsible for the dues of all packs.
Every pack contributed a percentage of their income to the Moon Shine Pack, so why would he not be richer
than them?
“Do you want to give me free money, or is your conscience pricking you?” She asked nonchalantly, in a bid to annoy him.
Just when she thought everything was settled and she could go home within a few hours, it had to come up to
this.
“Mister, can you excuse us?” Alpha Nick asked the divorce attorney, who instantly rose to his feet.
“Of course, I will attend to the next couple.”
Alpha Nick’s emotions were bustling with misery; he couldn’t keep it all to himself. “Sheila, I had you
investigated.”
“And?” She was unfazed, knowing he wouldn’t find anything about her, Diligence was her trademark, and she ensured to wipe everything about her past.
“I found nothing.” Disappointment laced his tone as he spoke. Sheila was slightly nervous when she discerned the error in her actions. If she couldn’t give Alpha Nick anything concerning her past, he might make things
difficult for her since the divorce certificate was still not signed.
“Which name did you use?” She asked, trying to make the correction.
“Sheila Thorax.”

Sheila’s lips pursed thoughtfully as she raked her mind for the perfect excuse. “You should understand that Thorax isn’t my name.”
Alpha Nick felt oddly pained by the explanation, which he understood to mean that she was so eager to do away with his surname and hadn’t used it on her personal documents. That was the reason why nothing could be found on the name Sheila Thorax.
“You officially changed your name after marriage, so every document holding your maiden name should still be valid,” he explained. Why was Sheila treating him like a plague she wanted to escape from?
“I didn’t want it so. Our marriage was a contract, and since there is no love between us, it’s just better to not attach your name to mine,” Sheila said coldly with no hint of regret in her eyes.
Alpha Nick’s expression was unreadable as he listened to her explanation.
Whatever she was hiding, he was determined to uncover it sooner. “So are you going to tell me your maiden name?” His arms folded to his chest as he asked, and Sheila already guessed he wasn’t going to sign the certificate until she told him about herself.
“That is if you sign the certificate in front of you.” Sheila picked up the pen and signed her part. “Your turn.” She gave the pen to him, but he did not take it immediately.
“I will only sign after you take what belongs to you. Fifty percent of everything I own.”
Sheila let out a frustrated sigh. She never mentioned alimony when she proposed to marry him, so why now? Alpha Nick was making things so difficult for her.
“Did you check the documents I signed at your house? I already ruled out those conditions, so you can’t force me,” she insisted adding, “I was the one who proposed to you and those were equally not part of the conditions.”
Alpha Nick was at a loss. Indeed, Sheila had already crossed out that part before signing, for which reason hel could not force her or insist on it. She also was indeed the one who proposed to him and never stated any demand for alimony. Yet, he felt he owed her and wanted to make it up to her.
If he could get her maiden name, then it would be easy to track her later and use different means to give her the very things she rejected but deserved.
“Then tell me your maiden name,” he insisted. A plan formed in Sheila’s mind, and she pointed at the certificate in front of him.

“Sign it first.”
“What if I do and you don’t tell me?” Alpha Nick narrowed his gaze. Sheila smiled and replied,
“I’ve never lied to you before.”
“But you hid your name,” Alpha Nick pointed out.

Sheila did not show any hint of nervousness and replied with her legs crossed confidently. “That was not intentional. You just didn’t ask about it then because you didn’t care,” she shrugged, shifting the blame to him.
Alpha Nick’s expression dulled, knowing that she had a point. When he carried the pen, it felt very heavy in his
hand.

Sheila beckoned for the divorce attorney to return. Alpha Nick’s fingers were trembling, and it took six minutes for him to append what was just a simple signature.
The divorce attorney signed his portion of the certificate, stamped, and gave each of them a copy..
“Well done, Alpha Nick. Our contract is officially over. My maiden name is Warner.”
She stuffed her divorce certificate into her handbag and, without another word, stood up and left as soon as the
words left her mouth. Alpha Nick quickly texted the name to the investigator.

He couldn’t wait to get all the information he wanted on her. ‘I want to know everything about Sheila Warner.’
After that, he rushed outside to chase her up. He had to know where she lived. Opening the door, he came face to face with Alpha Ansaldo, who didn’t seem too surprised to see him.
“Alpha Nick, I just saw your ex–wife, but she seemed to be running away from something. Is it you?”
Alpha Nick was irritated by
e mention of his ex–wife. “Out of my face,” Alpha Nick yelled and pushed him violently from the doorway. Alpha Ansaldo almost fell.
Bewildered, he turned around and stared at how Alpha Nick was running like crazy. By the time he reached the
parking lot, Sheila’s car zoomed past him, and he quickly sat in his car to chase after her.
This time, he would make sure that she doesn’t escape from him.
