Alpha Nick was seething with rage at the sight of the man beside Sheila. Sheila had lied to him, and he wondered what excuse she was going to give this time. She had said she was not going to attend, but here she was with Alpha Ansaldo.
Alpha Nick tasted bitterness in his mouth. He found it hard to take his eyes off her, even with her back facing him. It was difficult to believe that this was Sheila, the woman who had been his contract Luna for six months.
The one he had barely glanced at back then.
Now he was staring at her like she was some kind of prize, except that she was so out of his reach.
Charlotte had taken her seat and noticed that the atmosphere had changed. There was a lot of tension in the air.
“That woman is stunning. That diamond on her neck is from Sherry’s Glamour. It’s worth billions of dollars. Alpha Ansaldo is rich, but can he afford that?” one of the unmated she–wolves spoke.
She was behind Alpha Nick, so he heard her even though her voice was not loud. There was calm music playing in the background. Charlotte heard it too and began to sweat.
Not knowing who the owner of Sherry’s Couture was, she had lied to Alpha Nick that she owned it because he
wasn’t interested in female fashion. Her brows creased with sweat, and she nervously dabbed it with a tissue.
“I’m more interested in knowing who she is. Ordinary people do not shop at Sherry’s Glamour, and she’s not only wearing a dress made by Sherry but also wearing their most expensive glamorous diamond,” Alpha Nick tore his eyes away from Sheila and glanced at Charlotte.
“I see your products are making waves. You should have entered the contest, but I understand.”
He thought Sheila was wearing Charlotte’s design, as he also couldn’t mention the kidnapping because of the hint Patrick dropped. Strange things were happening around his mate, and he wanted to uncover them all.
was nervous as she looked at the contestants. Why did the woman in the red dress look so familiar yet
Charlotte w
so distant?
It was obvious that many of the Alphas and prominent businessmen were only waiting for the auction and awards ceremony to be over before approaching her. Back in college, Sheila was always stealing her spotlight, but today she wasn’t here, and yet another woman took her place.

Most of them stared at her as if they wanted to devour her whole. Not even Alpha Ansaldo’s presence intimidated
them. He was almost invisible.
“I got all the attention because of you,” Alpha Ansaldo whispered in Sheila’s ear, and she smiled.
“You indeed look very stunning. I hope you save all your dances for me,” Alpha Ansaldo said proudly, glad to be the one beside Sheila when every other man wanted her. Sheila scoffed. She was only here to set the pace for her company as it was her first time being there.
“Don’t be greedy. I’m here for business, and if I have to dance with all the men here, I will. Besides, I could find my mate among them,” she said to deter Alpha Ansaldo from any negative thoughts he might have.
“Pay attention to the MC. The bidding is about to begin,” Sheila was anxious and reminded him. Her welcome party was going to follow in a few days, and she wouldn’t be able to hide anymore, but for now, she needed to do what was necessary.
Alpha Nick was shocked. Sheila was not as destitute as they claimed, and he was beginning to wonder if she was indeed an orphan as she claimed.
