Standing between the two chatter boxes, Charlotte was regretting her decision of coming to the Pack's ground.

Hearing about this special gathering, Luna Lily freed her and allowed her to go.


'I will tackle Eric's anger, he is my son."

Charlotte's gratitude removed the previous bitterness, she inhaled freely in the freshness of the nature.

But Orion and Liam joined hands to cause her headache with their nonstop blabbering.


'I saw Beta Noah just now. He went straight to the Alpha's office."

'Look at Melinda, she is looking like a bride at her own wedding."


Orion sneered, his loyalty was devoted towards Luna Charlotte.

'Alpha didn't come home during the last three days, he also didn't meet anyone but Mathew, they are definitely cooking something big."

'Enough!"

Charlotte snapped, shushing them off completely.

'Stop stating the obvious and wait for the Eric's announcement. In case of any injustice, I am leaving this Pack."

'I also want to see America, I have never seen any place other than my Pack before."

Charlotte chuckled as the list of the possible candidates to accompany her was getting longer.

'This is the only good thing about the Pack system."

Smiling gleefully at her widening friend's circle, Charlotte's eyes caught a sight of Alpha Eric. Her heart missed a beat, as his regal aura was exuding unimaginable attraction.

'That's what enchanted me at first place."

She noticed the reason for being enamored in her mind. Eric stretched out his hand and offered it to Melinda.

'Please come on this stage."

Melinda's victorious grin spoiled her mood, her unease was suppressed by curiosity.

'Begin!"

Beta Noah immediately opened the file and read out loudly.

'Melinda Fernandez is an outstanding student at the university of Australia, her intellect is matchless."

Noah switched on the projector, and the certificate of Master's degree flashed on the white screen.

'First in the swimming competition, Melinda Fernandez's physical strength is mind-blowing, she can hold her breath for twenty-four minutes and thirty-eight seconds, a new record."

Second certificate from Australian national swimmer's academy then appeared before eyes.

'What's the meaning of showing-off my previous achievements, baby?"

The next slide was of Melinda's bank statement, everyone gaped at the total balance of eight digits in dollars. This also startled overconfident Melinda, her hand flew to cover her face.

Eric's burning glare was fixed at her.

'These accomplishments and this huge amount in your bank account don't match with your story of a physically weak girl with no memory."

His accusation was valid, but Melinda came forward in her defense.

'How could you do this to me, baby?

You could have asked me these questions in private, but you decided to question my misery in public. I am truly disappointed."

She brought out her napkin, and squeezed out two streams of tears from her eyes.

'You clearly know that I was an overachiever from the day one. My lost memory had nothing to do with the efficiency of my outstanding brain."

Then she walked towards the screen.

'This eight digits net worth is my hard work of fourteen years. Your Star left you for ten years, and came back as a millionaire too, but you didn't even suspect her.

Why do I have to endure your pointless suspicion?"

Charlotte's mouth was opened as 'O" at Melinda's direct attack on her.

'For your information, Maddy. I am over a hundred years right now. I think a beggar can earn millions in such a long time."

As she was in full mood to fight with Maddy, Eric raised his hand to stop her.

'Step back, little one. The star of tonight is Melinda, not you."

Tranquil of flowing streams in his eyes gave a hope to Charlotte, whereas Melinda was alarmed by his razor-sharp tone.

'With your reasoning, luxurious tour around the world, three boyfriends and modeling shoots in different countries are justified.

I was going through your past life, it came to my attention that we attended an inauguration ceremony of an automobile company three years ago.

As your wolf is dead, so no one can blame you, but miraculously, I also didn't feel the mate-pull between us.

Care to share your thoughts about it?"

Melinda's face darkened as this sudden onslaught hurled on her. It was not in her wildest dreams that Eric would dig in her previous years.

'I don't know, maybe due to my wolf. She was the reason for the mate-bond between us."

A big smile appeared on Charlotte's face as Melinda utilized her limited intellect, and came up with a lame excuse.

'Good point, Melinda. But how are we feeling the attraction of mate-bond now? Is the pairing of two souls solely based on the memory of one partner?"

He smiled contemptuously, Melinda's face started showing again signs of sheer panic.

'I ……."

'Enough!"

Eric Alpha's tone reverberated the whole surrounding. Pack members knelt down, baring their necks in submission. Standing alone in the kneeling crowd, Charlotte was quite amused at the entertainment provided by the performing duo. She waved her hand to disclose the climax quickly.

'You never lost your memory, Melinda. In fact, you were not even severely injured from the fall.

You took this opportunity to run away from me, your duties, and your Pack."

Eric's heartbreak was perceptible in his trembling voice, his pitiful countenance cheered up horrified Melinda, she broke into a fit of laughter.

'Fourteen years, I was away for fourteen years, and you are still a love struck puppy, demanding my attention.

Grow up, Alpha Eric. You are such a man-child."

She glanced over the dumbstruck crowd and crossed her arms over her chest.

'I was just eighteen when you were forced on me, Eric. I never wanted to commit at such a young age.

Your backwardness and over-possessiveness suffocated me. Even Liam's girlfriend was better than I."

Melinda glided like a model and came face to face with the crowd.

'What a young, innocent girl would in such a condition? I admit that I should have been more brave in the past to confront him, but his obsessive wolf frightened me.

I chose the easy way and escaped, and even sacrificed my warrior wolf to avoid the hideous mate-bond, which turned e into a sex-starved bitch.

Furthermore, I have no shame in saying that I have achieved a lot in my life. Wealth, success, happiness, and everything I yearned is in my reach.

And look at you, Eric. Goddess didn't even consider you worthy for a second chance mate. I took pity on your loneliness, and removed the spell to give you a second chance, but I was so wrong."

In a single breath, Melinda spat out all the resentment of the past, her relaxed face was now depicting the evilness of her heart.

A gasp escaped from Charlotte's mouth, she looked around frantically. The whole audience was stunned at the real face of their so-called Goddess, the air was heavy with the building tension.

All of a sudden, Eric pounced at Melinda and grabbed her neck.

'I was aware of your trickery from the day one, but I kept my lips sealed because you took something precious from me…
