Alpha Nick saved the video in his archives for later, then responded to the message. ‘No, don’t tell anyone and don’t stone them to death. I will take care of it.
Eight months later
“It’s a girl,” the doctor announced.
In the delivery ward of a private hospital in New York City, Sheridan was tired but a smile bloomed on her face. For nine months, she stayed away from her family.
It wasn’t the first time, but this time was the most difficult as she was pregnant. Her nanny was a middle–aged woman who kept her company all through. Throughout this time, Sheridan kept herself hidden, lest someone saw her pregnant and informed Alpha Nick, having no idea that he already knew.
She stayed indoors. Her business ideas stuck in her computer. Aside from exercising in her private gym and jotting down more business plans and her baby’s future, she never did anything else except reading and sleeping-
It was boring, but to her, it was worth it, due to how much space Alpha Nick still had in her life. Distance was not able to make her forget him when his fetus was growing in her womb.
Sometimes she wondered if Charlotte became Luna of the Dark Moon Pack or if Alpha Nick was still searching for her like he did Charlotte.
The baby was placed on her ch*st as she caressed her back. She had already decided on a name when the scan showed a baby girl.
“Daisy Warner.”
Sheridan wanted to inform her parents and brother, but a certain someone would be there to cause trouble. However, as Sheridan took a closer look at her newborn baby girl, she wanted to cry but tears failed her due to the love she had for the cute little creature.
After taking a long break away from her pack and work, tending to the needs of her pregnancy, keeping healthy to have a healthy baby, the girl had no features resembling her. She had dark hair and dark eyes with thin lips just like Alpha Nick.
It was as if the moon goddess wanted to torture her with Alpha Nick’s presence. Daisy was à pretty female version of her father.
Sheridan’s heart sank. Her mistake was loving a man who did not love her, but why would life be so unfair to her? With this striking resemblance, how on earth was she supposed to return to her pack?
Anyone who saw Daisy would instantly connect the dots. A tear fell from her eyes was taken away for other tests as she herself was attended to.

“Sherry, you have to cat now.” Her nanny, Margaret, offered. Sheridan accepted the food, but every bite felt like a bitter pill.
“I’ve had enough.”
“No. You should eat more,” the housekeeper encouraged her. Sheridan shook her head. “I’m serious. I’ve had enough.”
“If you don’t eat well, your breast milk won’t come in. What you eat can affect its quality,” the nanny pointed out.
Sheridan forced herself to eat some more, but that was all her b*dy could take before she gave in to sleep. A few hours later, she was awakened by the cry of her baby. The midwife had brought her to feed.
“Try to breastfeed.”
With the help of the midwife, she tried to breastfeed Daisy, but the girl refused to latch on. Not even after all the tricks she was taught, including stroking her nipples slightly above her nose for her to open her mouth.
“Why won’t she open her mouth?” Sheridan asked, worried. Daisy was bawling, but as soon as the nipple got close, her mouth was tightly shut.
“That’s weird. Let’s try the bottle,” the midwife suggested, offering her a breast pump. The breast pump was connected, and the breast milk pumped into a bottle, but once again, Daisy refused it.
“Let’s try formula,” the midwife suggested as it would be a problem if the baby did not feed.
When given formula, the girl emptied the bottle. Sheridan was frustrated. She did nothing wrong but felt as if she was being punished.
A few days later, her breast was engorged. Daisy had refused her mother’s breast milk, and Sheridan ended up pumping it all away. After two weeks of pumping, she allowed her breast milk to dry up, but after a month, Daisy refused even the formula, so Sheridan returned to the hospital.
“We did some tests and found some rare antigens in your baby’s blood. We want to keep her for further observation.”
Sheridan guessed that this problem needed to be resolved by a pack doctor and not the human ones. So, she politely declined.
Knowing a few of her kind in the human reasonable explanation.

“This might be genetic. You should ch*ck with your parents or your child’s father. You know how unique each of our kind could be.”

Sheridan was depressed, not intending to return when Daisy was so young. “What if I can’t return now?”
“Then you have to try a variety of foods. With our kind, they are stronger than humans, so you can start with purees.”
The advice worked. Daisy would sleep after taking any type of
puree and wake up like a happy child. Sheridan was already thinking about setting up a business in New York City.
Six months later, Sheridan arrived home from a doctor’s postnatal appointment when she saw a strange man in front of her apartment.
Due to her temporary stay, she did not rent anything big or luxurious, living with just her nanny and baby. The neighborhood was peaceful, so being a tough one, she did not hire any security guard.
This man refused to move out of the way, flagging down her car. Sheridan looked behind at Daisy, soundly asleep in her child seat. Rolling down the driver–side window, impatience coated her voice.
“What do you want, mister?”
“Sheila, right? I only have a picture of you.” Sheridan understood that either this man was from here, as she only used her fake identity in New York and the Dark Moon Pack. So, if this man was not from here, then someone from the Dark Moon Pack sent him.
The man was average–looking with blonde hair and blue eyes. There was nothing special about him, and his countenance was unreadable. “What do
you want?”
