“Do you remember my best friend, Thomas? He’s here.” Alpha Nick remembered that Thomas had also disappeared on his wedding day, just like Charlo

Thinking about it, he could not wipe both incidents from his mind.

Charlotte pursed her lips, feeling uncomfortable. Tom had kept to his word, but that was exactly what she didn’t

want.

She stammered a little. “D…Does he sleep over when he comes to visit?”

She already knew the answer to the question but still asked, hoping that Alpha Nick would pick up the hint that

she didn’t want to–see Tom.

“You are so silly. What do you understand by best friend? Of course, he will sleep over. Unless there is something urgent for him to do at his pack. That rrelocated to New York a few years ago.”

He watched Charlotte’s sunken mood, hoping to understand her beef with Tom as she said, “I was thinkingthat you should sleep early for the long drive tomorrow. Why not let him come after the gala awards?”

Charlotte hoped that Alpha Nick would send Tom away for her sake, but he seemed enthused to see his best

friend.

“He’s already here, so why should I send him away? The warriors are escorting him over, and besides, we shall have a few bodyguards with us. I don’t h

Charlotte wanted to find a good excuse, but the door opened after a knock, a bodyguard entered, followed by Tom. He looked neat and attractive.

“Nick, long time no see.” Tom heartily went to hug Alpha Nick, who gladly hugged him back. Pulling away, Alpha

Nick faked a frown.

“Tom, you should be reported to the Alpha King for neglecting your pack. You are just lucky that your replacement beta is doing a good job.”

Thomas thought about the beta he recommended to take his place at the Lotus pack. Thanks tohis industrious nature, Tom’s absence was not missed.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’ve been at the pack for a few days, and trust me, he is indeed doing a good job.”

“You’ve been at the pack for a fewdays without any form of communication?” Alpha Nick couldn’t help being saddened. His only reason for not contacting Tom was because the latter was

Tom ensured not to look in Charlotte’s direction as he replied gleefully, “That’s why I’m here. I wanted to surprise you.”

“You did,” Alpha Nick agreed, pulling Charlotte into his arms and making her face Tom. He ignored his wolf coiling back and continued, “You already met

Also, being friends for years, he never saw Alpha Nick take interest in women, making it all believable. He stretched his hand towards Charlotte with a fo

Tom maintained his well–carved forced smile. “I heard that you married another woman to salvage the situation. I’m sorry I had an emergency and had to leave. I wasn’t there to h

After meeting Alpha Nick again, she was amazed by how attractive he was, wondering how come she was blinded before to have fallen in love with Tom

“Yeah, but that will be after she masters combat. That is more important. Sheila simplified the departments so it won’t be hard for Charlotte to catch up,”

Tom realized that indeed, things were not as easy as they seemed, just as Charlotte had informed him, but also, a woman had contributed to the fast gro

“I’m so glad you are making it. I envy you, though,” he said honestly, but Alpha Nick thought he was joking. “Everything has changed within the last six mway to the pack house.

AlphaNick could not allow himself to take credit for what he hadn’t worked or. “Don’t congratulate me. It was all Sheila. [had nothing to do with it as I was only sher again.” His grip tightened around Charlotte’s waist.

She wished he could be like this when it was just the two of them, but Alpha Nick’shands slowly fell from her waist since Tom hadn’t made another move, saying, “Well, I’m starving, and I believe you are too.”

Charlotte got the opportunity to escape from Tom’s flirtatious glares, some of which were unnoticeable to Alpha Nick.

“I will tell the maids to get lunch,” she said and rushed to the kitchen. Athena returned from a walk with Tedmond and stared at Tom.

Tedmond went up the stairs, being so tired and sweaty. He needed a bath.

“You. Where have you been? You weren’t there for my son in his hardest moment and claim to be his best friend.” Athena could not hold back her anger

Tom felt attacked, but being Alpha Nick’s mom, he responded in a humble tone. “I’m very sorry, ma’am. There were emergencies that needed my attentio

Athena seemed prepared for him and subtly revealed, “Well, I don’t like you anymore. Friends make sacrifices.”

She was about to say more, but her phone rang, and when shechecked the caller ID, she smiled. “You are lucky that my Sheila is calling. I wouldn’t have let you off so easily.”
