Chapter 78 Sheridan had no idea of her father's reason for asking, but one thing was certain. She was an adult and could not be afraid of their judgment because of one mistake: trusting the wrong person.
If she had gone to the gala awards alone, this would not have happened. It was because she was bent on showing Alpha Nick that she had moved on or the longing to have a partner beside her. Well, it was a bitter lesson, but she still got a treasure in return, for which reason she could not bring herself to regret her decisions. Nodding her head to her father's question, her parents lost hope.
"I don't think that whoever drugged you has paid enough. Arnold must teach him a lesson," the Alpha King declared, about to mindlink his first son, the acting Alpha when Goldie stopped him with a revelation.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Uncle, the man she slept with is Alpha Nick. His mate is cheating on him with my mate. I rejected him, and he accepted my rejection." The revelation brought silence to the office, as everyone was lost in thought. The parents did not want Sheila to be a single mother, so this revelation brought hope as the Alpha King asked seriously, "Does Alpha Nick know about this?" "No, but he hasn't marked her for reasons we don't know" Goldie answered, when Sheridan countered, "He knows." "He does?" Goldie asked, shocked. It was understandable that Sheridan's schedules, just like hers, had been busy, but they still had tfor small girl talks. Why was she kept in the dark? Sheridan explained, "He toldat the welcparty and was beggingto cback to him. When I left, I secretly married him for six months. But it was a contract forto play the role of his Luna when his mate eloped with another man. When the six months ended, we parted way when his mate showed up, faking that she was kidnapped." She summarized everything, hoping that no one would ask any more questions, but there were still 1/3 sloose ends to the story that needed tying.
O "It's obvious he knows his mate is cheating on him. What more reason could he not mark and announce her to the pack?" The Alpha King analyzed. Nob*dy would support a cheating mate, and for that matter, he felt that Sheridan stood a better chance with Alpha Nick.
They were married by contract, and Sheridan never got pregnant, meaning they never consummated their fake marriage until after the divorce. Sadly, Sheridan had a mind of her own.
"I don't want to go back to him. I made it clear when we signed the divorce papers. This child is now mine alone." Her father disagreed. Alpha Nick was one of the strongest and most powerful Alphas. He would not neglect his child even if it was accidentally conceived.
"If it's his child, then you can't hide it from him. He would know as soon as the pregnancy begins to show. Sherry, why don't you let us punish him, and then you go back to him. He needs to take responsibility for the child." Knowing his daughter, he felt strongly that Alpha Nick must have done something to make her not want to go back to him. But with him having a cheating mate, the Alpha King could not allow his only daughter to be a single mother.
Nevertheless, her confession rendered him powerless. "I don't love him anymore, and what if I find my mate? I told him to forgive his mate and move on with his life." "Did he agree?" Her mother asked this time, not comfortable with where the conversation was headed this time. When Sheridan decided to let everything out, she did not relent, doing as she wanted. “He said he wasn't going to give up on me, but I'm not going back to him either. If you, want to help, then shipabroad or something. As soon as the child is born, I would give it a few months and return to continue my duties to the pack. He won't know it's his." Alpha Nick had his chance and blew it. With Sheridan, there was nothing like a second chance. If he had treated her with even the slightest care within those six months, she would have had something worthwhile of him, but even that did not happen.
2/3 Chapter 78 +5 All they share are sour and bitter memories. Sheridan wanted to be happy. Now that she was pregnant with the child of the man she poured her love before, she was content and didn't want anything else.
"Sherry, this is too much. We have to think seriously about it. I just wish you hadn't fallen out of love with him," her father said bitterly. Since Sheridan had not found her mate among the long list of men at her welcparty, he hoped for her to have a stable hwith the father of her child. "I'm sorry for disappointing you," Sheridan said, seeing the dismayed look in her parents' eyes. Her father waved dismissively. "Why should you be sorry? None of your mated elder brothers have givena grandchild yet, you are unmated and pregnant. I don't care what people think, but I'm happy to welcmy first grandchild." At the dark moon park, Alpha Nick has never been the same. Everything around him reminded him of Sheila. After kicking out Charlotte from his room, having it redecorated and cleaned, he could still not leave the Luna's chamber.

Before stepping out of the Luna's chamber, he would wash his face as if nothing happened, but his countenance remained cold. When he couldn't endure it any longer, he found himself dialing her number.
