Sheila’s face contorted, a frown lining it as she tried to recollect from where she had heard that voice. It sounded so familiar and yet so distant.
When she finally figured it out, all she thought about was how to make it out of there without being recognized. Her divorce had not been finalized, and she had no intention of embarrassing Alpha Nick.
The fact that he didn’t feel anything for her would not make her a vengeful person. Sheila wanted to do the right thing, knowing that in a few days, everything would be over.
“We came to the club, not to party,” she replied with a polite smile, hooking her arm around Goldie’s and ready to leave at any moment. Beta Gustav was among the most respected Betas in North America:
Being chosen to replace the late beta of the Lock Heart Pack two years ago, he had proven deserving of the
position.
The Alpha of the Lock Heart Pack was in his late sixties and had lost his Luna in a war. Unable to bear the loss,
grief swallowed him slowly, making him weaker and weaker every day. It was well expected that Beta Gustav
would soon be the Alpha.
Sheila had no idea whether or not he recognized her, but recalling that Alpha Nick never took her on any visit to the packs after their marriage, and her time spent in New York City, it was well expected that Beta Gustav did not recognize her.
“Is there even a difference? I’m Gustav, Beta of the Lock Heart Pack. What is that pretty name of yours?” He stretched his hand towards Sheila, his gaze lingering admiringly on her sexy curves through her outfit.
He was swallowing hungrily but was gentleman enough to hide whatever it was he was feeling for her at the moment. Sheila didn’t accept the handshake and also didn’t mention her name.
“We’ll find somewhere else to chill.” She turned around, pulling Goldie with her as Beta Gustav stopped them,
asking.
“Why don’t you join us? It will be our honor to have you.”
His two friends were eagerly nodding their heads as one of them, Sam, kept his seductive gaze on Goldie.

She had taken the back seat since Sheila was handling the conversation quite well, but at this moment, she wondered if Sheila would agree to join whatever party was being hosted inside. As if reading her mind, Sheila
asked Beta Gustav,
“Whose birthday, is it?”
“My kid sister, but I’m the one sponsoring her, so be my guest.” Beta Gustav didn’t want to miss the opportunity of getting to know Sheila due to how she caught his attention. Not having found his mate, it wasn’t wrong for him to mingle, but he could feel that Sheila was very smart by the way she kept asking questions. Also, he saw no mark on her, meaning that she belonged to no one.
“I don’t know about that.” Sheila felt uneasy. She was ready to spend money and not accept the free entertainment being offered to her.
“Wait a minute. I hope there are no strings attached.”
