Chapter 53
Tom, what were you doing behind the door?
Tom was furious, but his anger was directed at Charlotte. Even though Alpha Nick had refused to mate with her, she kept pursuing him. How shameless could she be after all the promises they had made to each other and his warnings to her?
Pain pierced Toms heart, but he forced a smile. Nick, I was coming to get you.
Alpha Nick was not pleased with the intrusion of his privacy and warned Tom seriously. When Im with my mate, dont disturb me next time.
His words and actions were clear signs of his love for her, but Charlotte still couldnt understand his reason for not wanting to mate with her.
Shame covered Charlottes face when she saw Tom glaring at her with disappointment as he responded to Alpha Nick. Sure, sure. Can we go now? And why the sudden anger?
Its not your business. Lets go, Alpha Nick snarled. He was not pleased with his best friends behavior after his,
return.
Can I say hi to her? Tom had not moved from the doorway and asked, and Alpha Nicks eyes narrowed.
You already said hi downstairs.
Tom desperately wanted to talk to Charlotte but never imagined that Alpha Nick would be so possessive of her
when he refused to mate with her.
Well, I think she doesnt like me, so I wanted to acquaint myself with her, Tom explained, hoping that his
excuse would make sense.
Alpha Nick glared at him, then called one of the maids and whispered something to her. The maid returned with
a key.
Alpha Nick took it and said to Charlotte, Im locking you inside, If you need anything, call me on the phone.
Nick the door slammed before she heard the key turning. Toms gaze darkened. Charlotte was locked inside.

the room because she was in her lingerie and hadnt attempted to cover up even with Toms presence.
What are you doing? Tom asked Alpha Nick, shocked by his move. Alpha Nick shrugged. This was his pack
anyway.
Making sure that you dont go in there, he warned seriously. Tom was afraid that he suspected their relationship or something of that sort. If not for the things he eavesdropped, he would have no doubt said that Alpha Nick was in love with Charlotte, but which man would love a woman and not want to mate with her?
Nick, what has come over you? Arent you overreacting?
Alpha Nick was upset and didnt hide it. Glaring at him, he asked, Tom, do you think I didnt see the way you. looked at her downstairs? Was it a coincidence that you disappeared the same day she did on our wedding? I think I should investigate that matter.
should
Tom froze. Maybe, he should have listened to Charlotte and not paid a visit to the Dark Moon Pack. Nick, are you
crazy? He pretended to be clueless of the accusation.
Alpha Nick was unmoved. Tom, if I find out that you have anything to do with her disappearance, I will kill you and send your corpse to your Alpha. I dont think we have more to talk about. The maids will show you the guest room. I will have an early rest. Good night.
He opened the opposite door and slammed it in Toms face. The latter realized that he had failed in hiding his emotions, which was deadly. Now, he had to think of a way to restrategize.
Alpha Nick woke up very early to take care of a few things at the office before joining Charlotte for breakfast. He only opened her door after he woke up. It was the most awkward breakfast they ever had since Tom was there. Before midday, they were ready to leave with a few bodyguards.
Tom asked awkwardly, Im going too. Can I ride with you? Alpha Nicks response was curt.
No. You have a car. Better drive as we might make stops or even not return on the same day.
His response only meant to Tom that they might spend the night at a hotel and with Charlottes behavior towards Alpha Nick, he wondered how they will sleep in the same room without being intimate.
Where do you plan to go?
Why do you ask? Alpha Nick asked coldly. He was only saying it to test Tom, but he seemed to foolishly fall intor

Im patient. I want to ride with you, Tom insisted. Charlotte paled, but Alpha Nicks response remained.

unchanged.
But my answer is no.
Tom stared at Charlotte once again. Her black dress was stunning, and she looked gorgeous. Charlotte, you look stunning. I dont think any womans beauty will compare to yours at the awards ceremony.
Charlotte smiled shyly as Alpha Nick had not complimented her. Thank
Before she could add the you, the sound of a slap resonated through the entire room. Tom was holding his burning cheek as Alpha Nick spoke in a warning tone.
I warned you against having eyes for my mate. If I have to remind you, then you dont have to return here after the gala awards.
Not only Tom but even Charlotte was afraid this time. If Alpha Nick was already behaving like this, then what will happen if he finds out about their relationship?
Nick, it hasnt come to that. I will behave. In fact, I will drive myself, Tom gave up.

At the Illuminant hotel, Sheila was having a meeting with her team. It had been a while since they met like this as they had been working virtually.
We only have sixty seconds to make an impression, and I want to promote both Sherrys couture and glamour.
Sherrys Couture was a branch of Sherrys glamour, but it seemed that Sheila wanted to take advantage of the whole occasion. If either of her companies, being the couture or glamour, won an award, her fame would spread far and wide.
Also, this was the first time she was going to reveal her identity as she always worked from the back end. Her
models and workers were shocked.
How can we make sure that Glamour doesnt take the attention off couture? One of her workers asked. Sheila smiled, about to explain when the door pushed open.
