gazes were fixed on the top of the stairs. Alpha Nick’s eyes turned red when he saw Tom behind Charlotte, but the next moment, Charlotte ran down the stairs and enveloped Alpha Nick in a big bear hug.
He instantly pushed her away, his gaze fixed on Tom. The latter’s eyes were dark, but Alpha Nick had a smirk on his face. How long would Tom hold back upon seeing Alpha Nick mistreat his mate?
His actions made them forget to inquire about where he had been and how he managed to change his clothes.
“Nick, I almost fell,” Charlotte said with tears in her eyes. If one of the b*dyguards had not supported her in time, thinking that Alpha Nick had accidentally pushed her, she would have fallen. However, Alpha Nick looked on nonchalantly.
“So what? You didn’t–fall, did you?” He sneered at her. It was obvious that Charlotte and Tom had no idea that he had seen them, as Charlotte was speechless about his change in attitude. This was the first time Alpha Nick had behaved this way towards her, and she could only attribute it to the events of the previous night.
“Nick, I’m sorry, but I didn’t lie to you. The names were merely a coincidence between Sheila’s collections and mine.”
That was the excuse she came up with, thinking that it was the reason Alpha Nick was playing along. But upon hearing Sheila’s name again, Alpha Nick decided to change his revenge plan.
Sheila had endured a lot in this pack because of how he waited for Charlotte, so how could he make things easy for her by just letting her walk away? No, she had to feel a double portion of everything he had put Sheila through.
It would be a fitting revenge because of the mate bond. Charlotte would feel it more intensely than Sheila did, since she was Alpha Nick’s mate. This explained the repulsion he was feeling ever since Charlotte’s return. She wasn’t pure and not deserving to be the Luna of the Dark Moon Pack..
“Did I hear you mention Sheila?” Athena asked as she descended the stairs. The moment she heard Sheila’s name, she left her room with Tedmond in tow.
Alpha Nick’s head lowered at the sight of his mother, shame covering his eyes. His mother had warned him severally, but he had chosen to rely only on the mate bond rather than using his senses too.

“Yes, Mom, Sheila lied to you. To all of us,” he said. Athena frowned slightly in confusion, but Charlotte had a gleam in her eyes. Alpha Nick must have found out something dirty about Sheila, which would make Charlotte happy since Tom had ruined her plans of messing up Sheila.
Back then, she had hardly recognized Sheila until Alpha Nick mentioned her. But before she could cause any problems, Tom had taken up all her time, and going back to the auditorium with Alpha Nick missing, she had forgotten all about Sheila.
“Are you serious?” Beta Dustin asked, just arriving after hearing that Alpha Nick had returned. Since he didn’t like Sheila, he was eager to hear more dirt about her.
“Sheila is not an orphan, and she is not a pauper.”
Beta Dustin’s face fell, and so did Charlotte’s. This wasn’t what they had expected to hear. It was as if Sheila was being exonerated rather than disgraced, as they heard Alpha Nick’s next words.
“She owns a luxury collection of clothing and jewelry, Sherry’s Couture and Glamour.”
Athena was the first to break the tension with a joke as she spoke excitedly, “That explains the bracelet she gave me. I’m the only one laughing now. But wait a minute, what does that have to do with you or them? When are you going to mate with your mate?”
Athena was not going to make it easy for him. Even if Sheila’s identity was revealed, it was not enough for Alpha Nick to avoid mating with Charlotte, right?
Alpha Nick let out a helpless sigh, knowing his mother was trying to provoke him. “Mom, I need time because Charlotte and I have a few things to discuss in private.”
Grabbing Charlotte’s arm, he yanked her towards the stairs. She cast a helpless look at Tom, who stood in the way.
“Nick, you seem angry about something. Don’t you think we should all hear about it?” Tom was afraid that Nick might hurt Charlotte for reasons he couldn’t quite pinpoint.
Alpha Nick glared mockingly at him, having a faint idea of how to deal with Tom tomorrow. For now, he was trying to create a scene so no one would ask about what had happened to him since he had no idea who the woman, he had slept with was.

“This is between me and my mate. Now, when are you leaving?” he asked harshly. Tom covered his mouth with his hand to fake a desperate cough.
“Are you sacking me?”
Alpha Nick slowly shook his head. How could he fire him when he hadn’t even begun to mess up his life?
“No. The pack house is big enough. You are free to stay for as long as you want,” Alpha Nick said with a smile that sent shivers down Tom’s spine. Why did the smile look so menacing?
“I need some business ideas too,” Tom asked, recovering from his fears. Maybe he had misread the situation. If Alpha Nick had anything against him, he wouldn’t have allowed him to stay.
w, we can talk
“Great,” Alpha Nick burst into laughter. It was time to mess with the idiot. “After training tomorrow, in the office.”
Tom sighed with relief. Perhaps after Alpha Nick helped with his business, he wouldn’t have to wait for the money anymore and could just elope with Charlotte as they had done before.
“You are so kind. And it means I can join your training?” he asked, unaware that he was falling deeper into Alpha Nick’s trap.
“Of course,” Alpha Nick murmured, dragging Charlotte along with him.
Tom felt useless for not being able to help Charlotte as the door was slammed shut in his face. Charlotte was violently pushed onto the bed as Alpha Nick began to remove his jacket.
For a moment, she was excited when Alpha Nick removed his cufflinks after shoving his jacket onto the couch, but all her hopes turned to vapor once more when he sat on the couch where the jacket was thrown.
“Start talking. Where were you last night?” he growled slightly, fighting dominance with Titan, who only wanted. to tear Charlotte to pieces. That was how an animal would behave, but a human would think twice and plan the perfect revenge.
“I went to pee, but when I returned, I couldn’t find you,” Charlotte replied calmly. That was how she had planned it anyway. The corner of Alpha Nick’s lips curled up mockingly as Charlotte sat on the bed to face him.

Charlotte panicked but quickly calmed herself, hoping none of the b*dyguards had seen them. That would ruin everything. At that moment, both she and Tom had forgotten about the presence of the b*dyguards.
“Me? Never. I only bumped into him when I was returning to the ladies‘ room as he was also going to the gents.”
Alpha Nick felt the cold realization that all along, ever since he had met his mate, she had been lying to him. From her confession, she had begun her affair with Tom before even finding out that she and Alpha Nick were
mates.
It burned him so much that all this time, he had just been taken for granted when he loved her so deeply, and was desperate to fulfill all her desires. Sheila had saved his face on that day, but what did she get in return?
“So why did you lie to me?” Alpha Nick was so angry that his b*dy felt as if it was on fire. All he wanted to do was
set Charlotte and Tom ablaze.
“I didn’t lie to you. It was merely a coincidence,” Charlotte lowered her head and answered, fearing he might see through her. Alpha Nick stood up, picked up his jacket and cufflinks, and ambled to the door.
“I see. I will be at the office.” For all she had made him do to Sheila, he knew what to do to her during training.
Disappointment engulfed Charlotte as she got off the bed and ran to him. “Nick. Isn’t it about time?” She was about to hold him when he pushed her away with a disgusted glare.
Everything about him disgusted her so much that he regretted giving her this room, but that was also going to
change.
“Don’t touch me!” he snarled.
As soon as he stepped out, he gave instructions to the maids, surprising Beta Dustin as he walked up to him.
“Alpha, where have you been, and what is this about Charlotte? Why did you give that instruction?”
Alpha Nick began to walk away without giving an answer, and Dustin followed him. As soon as he reached the office, he let out a sigh after Beta Dustin closed the door.
“Charlotte and Tom are having an affair.”

“What?” Beta Dustin was so shocked that all the respect he had for Charlotte and Tom dwindled. It now made sense why Tom had been staring at Charlotte so strangely. Disgust filled his chest at this revelation, but his reaction made Alpha Nick think that he didn’t believe it.
“Ask the b*dyguards if you don’t believe me. She wasn’t kidnapped but eloped with Tom.”
Beta Dustin was so upset that he wanted to strangle both of them but was wondering how Alpha Nick was so calm about it. “Alpha, we shouldn’t have them in this pack. I can send them away
Alpha Nick shook his head. “No. I have a better idea.”
