Last night, after Alpha Nick’s disappearance with Sheila, Charlotte had searched for him everywhere, having no choice but to return to Tom to report to him.
“Alpha Nick. I can’t find him,” Charlotte said.
Tom was rather excited about it. If something happened to Alpha Nick, they could get something worthwhile before Beta Dustin was made the new Alpha.
“That is strange. Have you called his number? What about his b*dyguards?” He asked, though knowing that the guards were not allowed into the auditorium. Unless Alpha Nick had stepped out of the hotel itself, his
b*dyguards wouldn’t know.

“It’s all switched off. The b*dyguards are clueless,” Charlotte reported worriedly. She had come up with the perfect lie to Alpha Nick’s question, but he was now nowhere to be found.
“Does it mean he left you behind?” Tom asked, unamused at the fact that Charlotte was falling in love with Alpha Nick.
“He won’t do that,” Charlotte spoke sternly, remembering how Alpha Nick had refused for Tom to drive her. It was impossible for him to leave her behind when he knew that Tom was around.
He might not know the relationship between them, but it was clear to Charlotte that Alpha Nick was protective of her.
“Then let’s see if we can find his car,” Tom suggested as he did not want to be useless. There were so many guests, so it was hard to know if Alpha Nick was still in the building. Only his car would tell.
The two searched and found the car parked at the same spot in the underground car park of the hotel.
“Then where could he be?” Charlotte’s worry aggravated, Tom was equally helpless this time, not knowing what to do in this situation and not really caring about it.
“I don’t know, but he isn’t a kid. Wherever he is, he will find his way back. We’ve done our best, so let’s just return to the pack. Maybe someone gave him a lift there,” Tom shrugged. The fact that Charlotte was so worried about Alpha Nick was already a pain to him.

Charlotte shook her head, lost in deep thought. “This is strange. Alpha Nick would never leave me here alone.
Tom sneered, “It still happened, and I can’t leave you here. Let’s return to the pack,” he suggested. He didn’t want to regret accepting the rejection of that hot mate of his. The fact was, what he had with Charlotte was so deep, he couldn’t let her go.
“What do I tell ma’am and Beta Dustin?” Charlotte whined, thumping her foot at the car park. She didn’t want to leave without Alpha Nick.
“Do what you do best. Look pitiful and cry out to them. You don’t know his whereabouts anyway, and the trick is not to make them feel suspicious. Also, you can use the opportunity to offer help and check the company’s account,” Tom suggested with a sinister grin.
If Alpha Nick was not found, it was the right time to get what they want and disappear before he appears or news about his death goes viral.
Charlotte, fearing the lies she had said, was partly on par with what Tom was suggesting. “Okay.”
Arriving at the park, it was already the wee hours of the morning. The b*dyguards equally arrived to give the information to Athena and Tedmond, who were equally disturbed. Try as they did, Alpha Nick’s phone was switched off, and no one could get through to him.
Beta Dustin was set to begin conducting a search if the confusion continued until morning.
Sleep was far from those at the packhouse until the next morning when Beta Dustin led training, not giving the pack members a hint about the disappearance of Alpha Nick.
As soon as training was over, Charlotte ran up to him. “Dustin, we don’t know where Nick is. Let me help you at the office. I’m not very strong with training but very knowledgeable in the business aspect.”
Beta Dustin thought for a while. Alpha Nick had not directly told him to not allow Charlotte. He was only concerned about her battle skills. “Alright. You are soon going to be the Luna anyway.”
Charlotte grinned, not expecting it to be so easy. It seemed to her that Beta Dustin was so easy to manipulate. How could he not operate with even just a little caution?
On their way to the office, Beta Dustin’s phone rang as he stalled to receive the call. Due to the excitement of getting introduced to the office work, Charlotte walked ahead.

As Dustin saw the caller ID, his eyes widened as shock and excitement sprang from his voice.

“Alpha, thank goddess you are safe. Your mate returned a few hours ago with Tom. She was crying that something must have happened to you,” Dustin excitedly reported, surprised by how aloof and cold Alpha Nick turned out.
“Make sure that both Tom and Charlotte don’t leave the pack, and don’t let them know that I called. I’m coming.”
“Why, Alpha?” Dustin asked, confused at the Alpha’s command, only to be met with a beeping sound. The call had ended. He redialed the number twice, but it was still switched off, so he just had to wait until Alpha Nick returned to the park to explain things.
He caught up to Charlotte, saying, “I’m sorry, but there is something urgent I need to do now. I can take you through the office work tomorrow.” There was no way he was going to go ahead with that arrangement from Alpha Nick’s strong command, which only revealed that something must have gone wrong.
“What is so urgent?” Charlotte asked with a frown, annoyed that her plans were suddenly ruined when for a moment, she thought she was going to lay hands on some pack documents or cash in the safe.
“A mind link just came through. I need to help a pack member. See you.” Without waiting, Dustin ran in the opposite direction. Charlotte walked confusedly into her room, surprised to see Tom there.
“What are you doing? Get out now!” She panicked and yelled, instantly closing the door as she was afraid one of the maids, Athena, Tedmond, or even Dustin would see them.
“No one knows I’m here, and Alpha Nick is missing. Maybe he got into a fight and got killed,” Tom said as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close. Charlotte tried to free herself to no avail.
She was as scared as a mouse. “Alpha Nick would not easily die in a fight. I wonder which Alpha can even stand up to him,” she mused, but Tom was upset that she spoke about Alpha Nick with so much expectation.
“The fact remains that he is still missing.”
Suddenly, they heard a commotion downstairs, so Charlotte rushed out, followed by Tom. Just on top of the stairs before taking a step down, a deep angry voice was heard, “Where is Charlotte?”
