The call ended abruptly as Charlotte swallowed tightly. “I was talking to my dad. He complained about how uncomfortable it is to live with neighbors,” she lied smoothly.
Alpha Nick was not suspicious of anything because he had not heard her. All he saw was her speaking on the phone. The problem with her parents disturbed him greatly, and he made the necessary arrangements.
“I already told Dustin to handle it.”
His demeanor and response were confirmations that he hadn’t heard what she was saying on the phone. The reason Beta Dustin was also not in the pack was because he was taking care of the house Nick ordered him to build for Charlotte’s parents.
for
Beta Dustin was very happy that Sheila had left the pack and was eager to make Charlotte happy and comfortable. He didn’t mind staying at the Bane’s Pack until it was completed since Alpha Nick was around.
Due to the gala awards, he might have to return for a short while to handle the pack since Alpha Nick was attending with Charlotte.
“Thank you very much.” Charlotte hugged Alpha Nick. He didn’t hug her back, but neither did he push her away. His feelings towards her were so strange that it made him feel guilty.
He was no longer obsessed with her like before, and the only thing holding them together was the uncompleted
bond.
He couldn’t bring himself to mark and mate with his mate, and that disturbed him greatly. Also, he couldn’t seek Titan’s help as he had already made it clear how repulsed he was with Charlotte.
Alpha Nick felt guilty, wondering if it was because of the kidnapping. Charlotte had said she couldn’t remember much about it except when she escaped after the people died.
She was rescued by Beta Dustin before she could pass out from fatigue. “I’m sorry for what happened earlier, but the maids said they have finished, so I will shower and rest first,” Alpha Nick smiled a little and said.
Disappointment dulled Charlotte’s eyes. “I thought you were going to spend the night here.”
The apology had filled her with hope that Alpha Nick would consider getting intimate with her, but that was just

A complicated emotion formed in Alpha Nick’s eyes. He could not tell for how long it would take for that nagging feeling towards his mate to stop but hoped it won’t be long.
One advantage of being an Alpha was his sensitivity, and he feared what had been done to Charlotte to make her so repulsive. No matter what, he was determined to stand by her, but never would he mate with her until his wolf
got over the repulsion.
“It’s too early. Just rest.”
Charlotte bit her lips thoughtfully. With Tom on her neck, it would be good to get him the money very fast to keep him busy in his company. That way, he would not disturb her or come to the Dark Moon pack, so how could she leave things to chance?
“Nick, do you hate me? You were the one who wanted us to mate before. I’m sorry that I refused then. I was stupid and overly obsessed with how things were done in New York City.”
She approached Alpha Nick, holding his two hands playfully. There were so many things he couldn’t understand at the moment. It was better to not complicate them, not when he still felt like he owed Sheila.
“Charlotte, you are mine. There is no need to rush things. You have been away for a while and even said you lost some memory due to torture.”
Charlotte’s resolve broke at the reminder as Alpha Nick went on to explain.
“It will be good to remember what those thugs did to you for us to find a suitable solution. Don’t you think it would be better to think about how to regain those memories than rather moving on and letting it come back to haunt you?” He asked with care–filled eyes.
Charlotte had no doubt that he still loved her, but the wait would just bring her problems, especially with Tom’s arrival. If only she could prevent him from coming.
“As you can see, I’m doing fine, even without those memories. So what if I never get them back? I just think we should make the best of the opportunity we have.”
Alpha Nick felt defeated this time. Charlotte had a good point, and he couldn’t help but agree. “That is good, but we should focus on the pack now that Sheila is gone.”

“But that should not stop us from marking each other,” Charlotte’s fingers moved to his chest, only for him to grab it. Staring into her eyes, he pleaded as her request was his responsibility.
“Charlotte, please give me time. It’s hard for me to share my room with anyone.”
Charlotte forced a smile, tired of that excuse. “Was it the same six months ago?” She asked worriedly. Alpha Nick
was honest.
“No, but I can’t understand the reason why things are different now.”
Charlotte could not comprehend what was happening, using one final master plan. “Maybe I should return to my pack for a few days.” She did not mean her words, only hoping that would scare him a little into submission.
“If that will help, then fine, but you have to take some female warriors with you. I’m sleeping first,” Alpha Nick
replied calmly.
Charlotte was shocked. Did he forget that her father’s house at the pack had been burned? She wanted to ask more questions, but he had already left.
ving it to trigger hi
She was just saying it to trigger his possessiveness, but even that did not work. As she thought about it, she wondered if her scent had changed.
At the Moonshine pack, cheers echoed from the gate as three Ferraris drove through it. Sheila felt at home, the joy in her heart evident on her face by the reception her pack members gave her.
However, she could not help the slight unease in her heart due to how she had left her pack a few years ago. upon the recollection of her father’s brutal words.
“If you leave this pack, bear in mind that you can never return to it.”
Sheila was determined to chase her dreams and replied, “I know you will be proud of me.”
and
She indeed had no intention of returning at that time, but now that she was back, she hoped to make right the
wrongs.
Before she got down from the car as it stopped, she was already swept into strong arms. “Sherry. Now that your are back, we are no longer letting you go.”
