As Sheila contemplated how to take a day off to attend the gala awards, another announcement caused the color to drain from her face. “Send the invitations out. She might as well find a suitor.”
Sheila was in a trance, at a loss for words. The Alpha King’s family was known for having some of the most attractive men and women, but none of them had found their mates at eighteen.
They all had to wait a year or more to find their mates. In Sheila’s case, she had waited for five years and was still waiting, just like Goldie, who had been waiting for four years.
The queen was an epitome of beauty. Even after having eight children, she was still gorgeous in her middle age, despite her Alpha being ten years older than her. It was clear that Sheila had inherited her mother’s beautiful
features.
However, her mother was only devoted to the pack, whereas Sheila was more adventurous and talented.
Not wanting to anger her father after such a wonderful reunion, Sheila spoke politely, “Papa, what about the mate bond?” Sheila reminded her father. He smiled at her and responded,
“My dear Sherry, how can you tell whether your mate will not be among the guests?”
Her father had not neglected the mate bond at all. In fact, he was hoping that she would find her mate among the guests at the party. But Sheila was trying to find a way to make it to the gala awards.
If she was able to showcase her designs, she was sure to attract a lot of influential customers for their pack businesses, which would be another great source of income.
“But Papa, there shall be a gala award at the Illuminant hotel in four days. What if I find my mate there?” She asked, trying to make it seem that her plans were in line with that of her father.
The truth was, Sheila had lost hope in finding her mate. All she wanted to do now was turn the pack businesses
around.
“Then the welcome party will become a coronation ceremony if you so find your mate. You are already 23 and should be as worried as I am. Let’s go inside and celebrate,” the Alpha King responded, not ready to call off the welcome party.

Sheila sighed. Having parties at such short intervals was going to be really stressful for her, but since her father declared it, there was nothing she could do about it. Being the best at both occasions was her only priority as she would be representing the Moonshine pack.
Sheila no longer concentrated on her personal business throughout the few days of waiting for the gala awards, being immersed in taking over the pack business. Her brothers needed a break.
It was a day before the gala awards when Goldie asked her, “He’s going to find you out. What will you
do?”
She was referring to Alpha Nick, knowing that Sheila didn’t want him to find out about her real identity. Sheila shrugged. “I don’t know him. The woman he married was Sheila Thorax. I’m Sheridan Warner.”
Goldie smiled approvingly as an idea formed in her mind. “I think I will make you up to look a little different.”
Sheila did not refuse but could not help feeling that Goldie had forgotten a very important part of tomorrow’s event. “Are you not forgetting something?”
“I don’t think I could forget anything.” Goldie assured her, but Sheila was skeptical, feeling that Goldie did not understand her question.
“Then where is he?” She asked straightforwardly, referring to the man she wanted arranged to be her fake date) at the party. Goldie maintained her smile as she knew what Sheila was talking about from the onset.
“Don’t worry. You will meet him at the gala awards.”
