The Alpha’s Obsession with his Ex-Contract Luna by Glorious Eagle novel Chapter 3

Chapter 3 – I don’t want you anywhere close to Nick

Alpha Nick explained to Charlotte that he had found a replacement bride on the day she was kidnapped in order to save the pack from shame. However, little did she expect her replacement bride to be none other than Sheila, her former best friend turned enemy.

Charlotte and Sheila were once very close until Sheila began to outshine her. Sheila seemed to excel at everything she did, as if she had a lucky charm.

Charlotte, on the other hand, was the exact opposite. Back in New York where they went to school, Charlotte was only good at one thing – attracting all sorts of men.

She didn’t have the strength or decency to refuse their advances. Sheila had caught her in the act many times. When Sheila came top of her class, it was the last straw for Charlotte, and she couldn’t take it anymore.

She tried every means to eliminate Sheila, but all her attempts failed. Now, after six months of being away, she was back to meet the same woman she had failed to kill, who was now her mate’s contract Luna.

“You told me she had left. What is she still doing here?” Charlotte was annoyed by Sheila’s presence, pretending not to know her, because she was afraid that her secret would be revealed.

Sheila, on the contrary, had no intention of revealing the truth. Even if she did, no one would believe her. Rising to her feet with a teary gaze, she lost the zeal to speak, accepting her loss.

Picking up the pen, she crossed out the alimony portion before appending her signature to the divorce paper.

“I would like us to settle everything before tomorrow,” she placed her demand with renewed vigor.

Her appearance wasn’t attractive, but her sudden boldness and refusal to allow her tears to fall caused something strange to hit Alpha Nick for the first time.

It was as if he didn’t know the woman he married, as she had changed into somebody else.

“I said three weeks. It would take that long to change the names of the cars and houses, as well as the accounts into your name.”

After saying that, he just realized that he didn’t even know her maiden name but could not be bothered. Sheila didn’t look like one who would want to return his surname anyways.

Sheila smiled dryly and looked him in the eyes. The usual affection and tenderness it used to carry was gone. “I don’t want any of those. Let’s get this done with.”

Alpha Nick’s gaze was a blend of complicated emotions. It was as if the woman he left in his house last night was different from the one he came to meet this morning.

“How will you survive? If not for the money, then why did you sign the contract?” He did not want other packs to accuse him of treating his Luna badly after divorce.

Sheila’s harsh gaze settled on Charlotte, but the latter quickly grabbed Alpha Nick’s arm like a spoiled brat.

“Nick, just complete the process. If she wants to be proud to live like a pauper after divorce, why should that concern you?”

Charlotte never wanted Sheila to have half of Alpha Nick’s wealth, so this was even better for her.

Alpha Nick did not like Sheila’s tricks, feeling like she was trying to manipulate his emotions to make him feel guilty for wasting six months of her life.

“Since you want nothing, you can go beg on the street when you return to whichever pack you came from. But I’m still kind enough to give you three days to think about it.”

As expected, every glance he spared her lacked warmth, unlike Charlotte who had all his softness, care, compassion, and love.

Sheila was already exhausted. Her eyes were equally heavy due to lack of sleep, and all her emotions were forcefully buried inside.
