Chapter 80

“Alpha Nick, you are making me feel like a mistress,” Sheridan complained in honesty, unable to contain the mixed feelings swimming through her heart. The view before her was breathtaking, and if not for Chaya’s meal, she would have emptied the plate.

The dessert was equally mouthwatering, but who knew that Alpha Nick would order some fine wine as well? Sheridan could not believe that she was only enjoying his kindness after the divorce.

If he had not threatened to come and see the Alpha King, she would not have agreed to come, as she began to feel things she never wanted to feel for any man again.

Alpha Nick’s gaze dulled, not liking that term on her lips. He had brought her to a coded resort to relax, and it was about a three–hour drive from her pack: This was something he never did for any woman, not even Charlotte, though he had planned it for their honeymoon when she chose a human wedding.

The thought of it caused intense pain in his heart. It was obvious that Sheridan loved the place, but her words disturbed him greatly. “Why do you think so?” He asked seriously as they took in the mountain view from where they dined in the open space.

It was so serene with the stars in the sky as Alpha Nick rented the whole place for just the two of them.

“You have your mate at home, but you are out here with me. It reminds me of when you left me at home and went looking for Charlotte. When you found her, you hardly returned home anymore.”

Pain flashed in Sheridan’s eyes as she spoke, reminding her of when she craved his attention so much but only got his absence and indifference. Why did life have to be so unfair? She just wanted to move on, and yet, he was back to mess up her life again.

“I’m so sorry, but the only reason why I’m keeping her at this moment is because of you,” he revealed. Sheridan was slightly taken aback. Then she stared at him strangely as he continued to speak.
