Chapter 87
“Sheila? Pregnant? With my child?” Alpha Nick was pale as he recalled the letter. She had given him the other pair of earrings she cherished so much because they no longer held any meaning for her. She had found something better and more worthwhile.
For all that she had sacrificed, she had found joy at last and was not willing to share it with him. After all, he had not shared in her pain and neglect when she lived with him. She had offered herself on a platter of gold, but he had refused to see.
A treasure lost was hard to find. Alpha Nick realized how much his negligence had wounded her heart. Sheila, being a sweet woman, found it hard to harbor a grudge and was even nice to him after the divorce.
When he had asked for her help with the pack, she had obliged and never tried to cause problems for him and Charlotte. She had left with her head held high, so why couldn’t he also live with his head held high without her?
Sheila was not ready to continue from where they had left off, and when he kept pestering her, the only choice she had was to run away, severing all ties in the process. A strong woman knew what she wanted and would not allow anybody to stand in her way, not even her pack or family.
Doing what was best for her unborn child was all that mattered. Going back to the Dark Moon Pack would only bring her sorrowful memories.
Alpha Nick was so depressed he wanted to cry, but tears failed him. He was hurt about her keeping the pregnancy from him, but he also knew that if he had known about it, he would have forced her back to the pack, which would have made her unhappy.
He face–palmed, his hands moving from his face to his head, pulling all his hair behind him in deep thought. Sheila had promised to be in touch with Athena, so Alpha Nick could not believe she would go against her own words.
“Mom, can’t you reach her? Please call her at least. Did she not promise to be in touch with you?” He was desperate, not caring to hide it. Tedmond was moved. He had seen his son soulless when Charlotte disappeared on their wedding day, but now he saw a strange fire in his e
Was it even possible that a man could love another woman better than his fated mate? Alpha Nick had not been so crazy when Charlotte disappeared. Though he had thought she was kidnapped, he had been usually calm, cold, and indifferent.
But when Sheila left him, he looked like he had died internally. Still, there was hope in his eyes. The hope of finding and making her his. The unquenchable fire of going beyond any length to get her back was what amazed Tedmond.
Alpha Nick had been in love with Sheila outside the mate bond without realizing it. This man did not love Charlotte. It was just the mate bond playing on his mind and making him feel as if they belonged together.

Chapter 87
This was the worst Tedmond had ever seen his son, but it was strangely interesting to him.
What makes you think she would keep in touch with me when she broke ties with everybody else?” Athena asked. It was understandable that Sheila would not be able to keep her promise to her this time because she was Alpha Nick’s mother.
If she could send an attack to distract him, then why would she make it easy by telling Athena, knowing how willful Alpha Nick was?
Athena dialed Sheila’s number and pressed the speaker button. It was out of reach. Hearing the robotic voice, Alpha Nick rushed out of the room, but Athena called him back.
“Nick, don’t do anything silly. You need to rest.” She was afraid Alpha Nick would die from exhaustion. The truth remained that Alpha Nick was only there in body, but his heart and soul remained wherever Sheila was.
“How can I even sleep? My wife and unborn child are somewhere, so how can I sleep? I treated her so badly.”
