Charlotte was coughing hysterically, and Alpha Nick asked worriedly, “What is the problem?” Her harsh coughs

had attracted extra attention.

There was no response, but Charlotte’s eyes were teary as she continued to cough. Alpha Nick waited patiently for her to stop coughing and start explaining certain things.

Patrick was equally worried. “I think we should get her some water,” he said, beckoning to one of the waiters. The water was brought as Patrick said,

“I have to take my position. I will be helping the judges today.” He pulled his wife away as they made their way to where the judges sat. It was evident that Alpha Nick had no idea Charlotte had eloped. Also, she didn’t want Patrick to spill the–beans.

“Alright, we shall discuss more after the event,” Alpha Nick spoke with a morose expression. He was indeed going to dig further into the matter, but as he was there for business, that was his focus at the moment.

As Charlotte drank the water with relief, knowing that Patrick had left, Alpha Nick’s attention was divided. He couldn’t forget the seriousness attached to Patrick’s words that Charlotte had willingly entered a car on their wedding day.

‘Keep an eye on Charlotte throughout the program and report anything odd.”

“Yes, Alpha,’ the b*dyguard immediately reported via mindlink. Though they were out of the pack, the distance was close, and Alpha Nick was grateful for mindlink.

It wasn’t a phone that someone could eavesdrop on their conversation. Charlotte’s calmness at the departure of Patrick and his mate got Alpha Nick even more suspicious.
