Chapter 63
Alpha Ansaldo wanted to beg her. He wanted to apologize, but Goldie was there and might lose respect for him.
Moreover, Sheila had not mentioned his crime, which was a great form of relief. It was better for him to leave now with his dignity intact than to try smoothing things and end up in an even bigger mess.
“I’m
sorry,” he murmured and just like that, strode towards his car and drove away. He could not forget the blend of emotions in Sheila’s eyes when she spoke to him. They were ones of pain, anguish, and disdain.
He had to find time to meet her again to apologize, but for now, it was good to let her be. Sadly, his plan to make Sheridan his by whatever means failed.
In Goldie and Sheridan’s car, there was an awkward silence as Goldie drove out of the car park. It was long since she saw Sheridan so furious, not even after her divorce.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t watch over you,” Goldie said with regret, adding, the mate bond seems to be such a curse.
Sheridan thought she was referring to Alpha Nick leaving her for Charlotte, causing Alpha Ansaldo to take advantage of the situation.
Though not knowing the details, she guessed Alpha Ansaldo had done something very bad.
“It’s not your fault. Neither is it the fault of the mate bond. I am the one to blame for disrespecting it.”
Sheridan could only blame herself for everything. It had never been well with anyone going against the mate bond, so she had to swallow her pain like the strong woman she was and would not blame anyb*dy for it.
“Where have you been? I saw how you walked. What happened?” Goldie asked. She hadn’t mated before, but that didn’t mean she was naïve. The Sheridan she knew would never step out with her hair so disheveled. Also, one of her dazzling diamond earrings was missing, and it didn’t seem like she noticed it.
Sheridan smiled bitterly. What happened between her and Alpha Nick was the strangest there was, and she was glad to have cleaned up her messes. He would never find her out, and that was enough for her.
“Alpha Ansaldo drugged me, and I ended up in bed with Alpha Nick,” she said honestly, gazing out of the window to be distracted by its beautiful scenery. How she envied her lovely environs, wishing her life could also be this beautiful.

“What?” Goldie was dumbfounded, not believing what she just heard. It was as if her ears were playing tricks on her. Sheridan sighed and said,
“I don’t want anyone to know about it, not even him.”
Goldie frowned deeply, worry nudging her at Sheridan’s words. How could she keep something like that from Alpha Nick when it was both of them in the act? She needed a greater understanding at this juncture.
“What do you mean by not even him? Doesn’t he know already?”
“He would forget everything when he wakes up. I researched the drug. I can’t even remember anything, but! hacked into the hotel CCTVs and knew.”
Goldie let out a mean smile. It was as if someone did her job for her, revenging on her behalf. “Well then, good. Karma did my dirty job for me.”
Sheridan was forced to tear her eyes off the beautiful scenery from before, focusing her attention on her cousin and closest friend. “What are you talking about?”
Goldie’s fingers tightened around the steering wheel, and her teeth gritted at the thought. “Charlotte was f**king my mate, and you fucked hers. Perfect revenge from Karma,” she shrugged, instantly relaxing.
She was free from the bond because she rejected her mate, but it hurt her so badly that a woman like Charlotte was chosen over Sheila in the name of a mate bond. Goldie’s only worry at this moment was Sheila and not even herself.
It was as if she just dropped a bomb. Things were getting more and more interesting for Sheridan.
“Wait, you mean Tom is your mate?”
The way she mentioned the name plus her demeanor was a firm assurance that Sheila knew something deeper. “You know him?” Goldie asked incredulously.
“Yes. During the times Charlotte and I were best friends. She always flaunted him around. That is the reason! wasn’t scared to marry Alpha Nick even when I knew he was mated to Charlotte. I thought the bond would be broken when one party loved another.”
“The bond can only be broken through rejection,” Goldie corrected. Sheridan had to agree that it was true. If not, Alpha Nick wouldn’t have been wrapped around Charlotte’s fingers up until now.

“I realized it too late,” Sheridan admitted with regret. She should have just waited for her mate but went on to marry Alpha Nick. Now, she lost interest in the mate bond altogether.
“That is understandable. I rejected him too, and I don’t care if I’m not mated again,” Charlotte shrugged. Over her dead b*dy would she be with someone like Tom. She’d rather die. Sheridan couldn’t help agreeing with her.
It wasn’t because they were both unmated she–wolves but the fact that Goldie deserved better after waiting for
so long.
“I would have done the same, but I really hope that you find your second chance mate,” Sheridan said honestly, suddenly becoming conscious of her looks as they got close to her pack. She began to arrange her disheveled hair, gazing into the rearview mirror and froze.
“Who knows if he’s also going to be an asshole?” Goldie replied, not realizing the change in Sheridan as she focused her attention on the road, adding,
“You know what, I already have an excuse for your father, and we have to get ready for your birthday party in two days.”
Sheridan suddenly let out a horrific roar at the mention of the birthday party. “Kill me already. I don’t want any more parties nor events. I just lost one of my diamond earrings. That earring accessorized the rare diamond necklace she wore, which was supposed to be used for exhibition.
It was worth billions. “You didn’t know? I thought you had it in your clutch since the necklace was intact,” Goldie said worriedly.
Sherida had ensured she didn’t leave anything behind at the hotel so where could the earring be? Did it fall into the elevator when she was hurrying to the underground car park?
An hour after Sheridan left the hotel room, Alpha Nick woke up to a pounding headache as he tried to recollect the events of last night.
Alpha Nick, who had not been sleeping well for a while, found himself soundly asleep for the first time in a long time. He woke up feeling refreshed but also n*ked, leaving so many unsolved puzzles on his mind.
His only option was to check the CCTV footage. Amidst the confusion on his mind, he tried to go shower when he saw blood stains on the bed. His eyes squinted in bewilderment. “Oh goddess, this can’t be happening,” he said

He recalled vividly everything that happened with Charlotte and Tom, not thinking of ever mating with her. All he felt in his heart was the pain he wanted her to feel for toiling with his emotions and the mate bond.
Not only that but what she made him do to Sheila. As for Tom, Alpha Nick had very good plans for him and his Company in New York City. His only worry at this moment was the woman he ruined.
Looking around, there was no sign of her and nothing showing that a woman had even been in the same room. with him. Well, the CCTV footage would give him the necessary answers. As he lifted himself from the bed, his eyes caught something familiar…
