This was the first time Charlotte had endured the heat from the kitchen, and she couldn’t help feeling dehydrated. “I don’t feel so good. I don’t want to ea
“Let’s go to your room. I will call the doctor to check on you,” Alpha Nick said, worried. Charlotte felt alive by the genuineness of his concern for her and explained,
“No need for the doctor. I will be fine after some rest.” It was also a great opportunity to be away from Tom to
avoid making things awkward between them.
Charlotte did not want anything or anyone to ruin her going to the gala awards. Even if Alpha Nick had not marked her, they were going together as a couple, and the world would know they were mates. That was soothing to
“I insist. You have to eat,” Alpha Nick said seriously, and an idea formed in Charlotte’s mind as she was now living
in the Alpha’s chamber.
“I want to eat in my room.”
Alpha Nick didn’t see anything wrong with it since she mentioned not feeling well. “You go up. I will bring your food.” Charlotte smiled with satisfaction and left, but Tom was uncomfortable as his dark gaze remained on her
back.
Alpha Nick had the maids pack the serving for two and told Tom, “I will eat with her upstairs. We can chat later.”
Tom nodded his head but did not seem happy. Beta Dustin noticed something odd and said, “I see the way you look at the Alpha’s mate. I hope you are
Tom chuckled, cursing Charlotte internally for making him like this. He couldn’t bear to see her with another man, and she just had to keep acting like she was in love with Alpha Nick. Did she not know how jealous it made. him? “Why are you talking like that?”
Beta Dustin smiled, not surprised that he wanted to hide it. “Alpha Nick is a respecter of the mate bond just like me. If he could even let a wonderful wom mate, then you can understand.”

He began helping himself with the appetizers, passing some to Tom. The latter had a complicated expression on his face. He didn’t care that Dustin calle
“What do you mean by a wonderful woman?”
Beta Dustin heartily explained. “Well, Sheila turned things around in this pack. Even I saw her as a threat. That is the only reason I’m glad she left. She’s all the pack members talk about now.”
Tom pondered. Charlotte had made mention of Sheila a lot of times, but his interest was never piqued. Now he wondered if he had seen Sheila at the wedding. “Have I met her?”
“I don’t know. But you left the wedding quite early.”
“I did,” fom agreed. Beta Dustin dropped his cutlery and asked seriously,
“Tell me, are you in love with the Alpha’s mate?”
Tom froze. If anyone found out that he and Charlotte had been dating before she even met Alpha Nick, all hell would break loose. “Dustin, what nonsens
Dustin sipped a glass of water and watched with interest as Tom had not lifted anything to his lips. He was rather nervous, but when he heard Dustin’s re
“How can I be drunk when there is so much to do? Look, since you don’t care about the mate bond, then why
don’t you hook up with Sheila? She’s a desperate woman but very industrious.”
The suggestion piqued his interest a little, but he was also afraid of being trapped by Beta Dustin. He was Alpha Nick’s beta, after all.
“Why are you telling me this?”
“Promise to keep it a secret?” Beta Dustin looked around and asked. Tom equally looked around and, seeing no one, he replied,
“That’s if I can.”
Beta Dustin took it as a yes and began to explain. “The Alpha told me to find out Sheila’s whereabouts. He event informed the pack members that she on

Alpha Nick would not mind giving half of the pack to Sheila.”

Tom could not help feeling envious of Sheila in the wealth and pack division aspect. “What do you want me to
do?”
“He entrusted me to find Sheila. When I do, I will give you the location. I want you to win her heart so she will

Tom pondered over the suggestion, but recalling Charlotte had once told him that Sheila was a pauper and a orphan, he couldn’t find anything good in th
“I don’t have time for that. I have a large corporation to manage, and I’m here for just a week.”
Feeling displeased by his rejection, Beta Dustin waved dismissively. “You know what, forget that I told you this.”
Tom’s attention was focused on the door both Charlotte and Alpha Nick entered. None of them had come down so far, and he couldn’t help feeling jealous and disturbed. “How long will it take for Alpha Nick to come down?”
Dustin glanced up the stairs and gulped down the water in the glass. “I don’t know, but this is the first time I’m seeing him in her room. Anyway, I’m mostl
Tom could not help feeling relieved by the news and asked, “Doesn’t she go to his room?”
“Did you forget his disorder? Alpha Nick never allows anyone in his room after it’s cleaned. I heard from one of the warriors that when Charlotte went to h
went mad and chased her out.”
“But she’s his mate,” Tom said with difficulty. It pained him that Charlotte was rather mated to his best friend who was also doing better than him.
“Well, he moved Charlotte to his room later, but guess where he sleeps.”
“Where?” Tom asked with interest. He would not be able to bear Charlotte sharing the same room as Alpha Nick.
“In Sheila’s room with all her stuff in there. The bitch did not even take a pin when she was leaving. I don’t know the game she’s playing, but I know she w
“Do you think Alpha Nick has feelings for her?” Tom asked, wanting to use the news to his advantage.

“It’s more like guilt because of her selflessness. He still insists that she deserves half of everything he owns.”
Tom remembered his second reason for wanting to see Alpha Nick. He had to get some business strategies, but for now, all he wanted was to get him ou
“Don’t go up there. What if they are mating for the first time?” Dustin warned, but that only got Tom upset and jealous. He replied ironically.
“If they are busy, I will give them space.” He reached the top of the stairs, standing in front of the door where he saw them enter and pressed his head ag
