The tension in the gym was thick, and Charlotte felt her throat go dry. She was overwhelmed with embarrassment due to the condescending glares she received from the pack members.
They had known her before, but after being with Sheila, the difference was clear. Nobody wanted Charlotte in Sheila’s place, and she knew it. Her fear was that if she told Alpha Nick about it, he would keep holding on to Sheila.
This was what Alpha Nick wanted to prevent by advising Charlotte to stay low, but now, everything was ruined.
He was lost for words to say as it would only lead to his revelation of the divorce. Sheila forced a smile. To handle this, it had to be to her advantage. It wasn’t her fault that Alpha Nick decided to bring Charlotte in when the divorce was not complete, just because they couldn’t stay away from each other.
She wondered what was still preventing them from marking each other since they were already living together.
“You misunderstand, Warrick,” Sheila was addressing the warrior who had just asked the unfillable question. From the look on the faces of the pack members present, they were all in agreement with Warrick, as the desperation for answers lined on their faces.
“Before I explain it, give me a moment,” Sheila walked to Alpha Nick and spoke in a hushed tone,
“If I take care of this for you, you should promise to be at the court tomorrow for us to finalize the divorce.” The rate at which Alpha Nick was suddenly taking an interest in her made her uncomfortable.
She wanted to leave before he discovered anything. Alpha Nick thought he had a few more days to get information about her, but Sheila’s behavior was unexpected. She was the one who proposed the marriage, no doubts, but the rate at which she wanted to run away from him made him afraid.
“Sheila…”
“Your mate is with you, and your pack understands. For what other reason will it be delayed?” Sheila maintained the hushed tone, touching on a sensitive spot.
Alpha Nick had a growing suspicion because of her behavior. “Why are you in a haste? Is it because of Alpha
Ansaldo or Beta Gustav?”

He could taste bitterness in his throat at the mention of those names. “Should it matter to you? You want your pack and your mate. I’m helping you to get exactly that. So for what other reason will you need a few more days?” asked Sheila.
As Alpha Nick thought through her words, they made sense to him. The reason for delaying the process was to give him time to explain things to his pack members, so if that was done, then there technically was no reason for Sheila to stay any longer.
“You are right. You solved the problem faster than I imagined it to be. I will fulfill your wish to meet you there at 8
am.”
Sheila smiled in satisfaction, but a dark emptiness filled her heart. Even after accepting that she already lost, it was still painful. However, she concealed everything perfectly as she addressed the pack members.
“So, the Alpha’s mate is not the problem. The truth is, I have some urgent matters to take care of. I can’t tell for how long it’s going to take, so I can’t promise exactly when I will be back. I just hope that as you wait for me, you accord the Alpha’s mate with your utmost respect and due diligence.”
Charlotte loved the last part of Sheila’s speech, but the next question from another pack member, Adelaide,
caused her gaze to darken as she bit her lips in anger.
“Luna Sheila, we know you won’t lie to us, but ever since you married the Alpha, we hardly saw him around. Now that his mate is back, he is always here. Isn’t it clear that you are leaving because of this? I am not in your shoes, but I feel that you haven’t been treated fairly.”
“Yes! Yes! Yes!” The pack members chanted behind Adelaide. Everybody could not speak together at the same time, but they made sure to support whoever was bold enough to do so.
Sheila’s heart warmed at the fact that, though she had thought otherwise in the beginning, the pack members actually had her back.
Nevertheless, she couldn’t go against the moon goddess or the mate bond, “I must compliment your observant eyes and instincts but also press on the fact that I am not the Alpha’s mate.”
Gazes dulled at the mention of Alpha’s mate. Everyone respected the decision of the moon goddess and couldn’t
counter it.
