"What's wrong with you?" Jack inquired. Never in his life did he imagine he would have to comfort a woman one day."Stay away from me. You lied to me last night just to mate with me. How am I supposed to know that you're really my mate?" Charlotte accused Jack, her blue eyes reddened with tears.Jack's eyes darkened with desire, although he frowned. How could he explain to the crying woman that he wanted to dip his fangs into her neck and leave his marks on her?"Is that why you're crying? If anyone were to hear your voice now, they would think I'm a wife-beater like my brother. Shush, the guards are still searching for you," Jack said, and Charlotte calmed.It was already morning, and the sunlight peeked into the room as it was high in the sky. Charlotte knew that Teddy would soon tear down the entire pack in search of her. If there was one thing she was sure about Teddy, it was the fact that he cared for her in public and wouldn't want the other pack members to see that she was sad.
In the bathroom, Charlotte stared at her reflection. She couldn't believe that she had mated with her brother-in-law. "Moon goddess, please forgive me," Charlotte said. As the Luna of the Norfield pack, it was quite an embarrassment for her to be labeled as an adulterer and backstabber to her husband. Charlotte knew that Teddy wanted to get rid of her, but she never knew the actual reason before. Now she knew.Standing in front of the mirror in the small bathroom, Charlotte stared at her arms where Teddy Hudson had flogged her the previous night. She was supposed to curse him, but she didn't. She wasn't feeling the pain, and maybe that was because she had made up her mind to move on.Looking away from the mirror, Charlotte turned the faucet to allow water to flow. She decided to bathe, so she searched the bathroom for any available sponge and soap and prepared for a quick bath.Jack stepped into the parlor and knew that Teddy might soon arrive, as he knew Lawrence didn't trust his resp
"I do not want you two to fight because of me," Charlotte said, standing up from the couch and looking at Jack's handsome face."We won't fight, unless Teddy wants us to. I'm of equal strength, remember? He stole the Alpha's kingship from me, but he's no match for me, including all his warriors." Jack flexed his masculine arms, and Charlotte blushed.Smiling bashfully, Charlotte turned to look away from Jack. She wore her pink dress, and her cleavage was on full display, while Jack was wearing just his black shorts and a white singlet top. He escorted Charlotte back to the parlor so she could leave, since she wanted to go home."I will miss you, and I'll come to check on you at home. Do you have your phone? Let me know so we can keep in touch if anything goes wrong. I will be heading back home too, as my father summoned me. I am sure that Teddy has gone there to report me," Jack said, a playful smirk curving up his lips."Okay, Jack. Please don't fight with Teddy; I don't want you two
"I'm going to kill you, Jack! So you fucking dare to mate with my wife, the Luna of this pack?" Teddy roared, his anger evident."You cannot do anything to me, Teddy. Go away!" Jack roared back, his voice making all the guards jump back in fright. Even Teddy was startled at his elder brother's strength. Walking back to his sleek black car in defeat, Teddy shouted at his guards, "Arrest him immediately and take him to the pack's police station!"The guards were afraid; they stood staring from Jack to Teddy.Jack stood with narrowed eyes at the doorway, watching his younger brother get into his car and zoom off angrily.The head of the guards, Lawrence, breathed out in relief and said, "You have to report to the pack station, Alpha, to avoid the authorities from taking matters into their own hands.""Hmm, that's fine. You can leave," Jack dismissed Lawrence, who was standing there worriedly with three other guards."What are we going to do now?" Charlotte finally asked Jack, breaking him
Beta Paul Mateo couldn't say anything. As they wanted to comfort Charlotte, they suddenly heard a knock on the door. A security guard rushed in and said, "Sorry to bother you, Beta, but the Alpha's guards are here!""Why?" Beta Paul demanded, his wife looking worried, while Charlotte already knew why they were present. The guard didn't know how to respond. Beta Paul walked out to see Lawrence and three other uniformed guards in black standing there. They were the pack's security men, and they were carrying weapons."Greetings, Beta Paul Mateo. We received information from Alpha Teddy Hudson to have your daughter arrested," Lawrence disclosed. He had returned to Alpha Teddy's mansion shortly after they escorted Jack to the pack's station, where criminals and other offenders were held.Teddy had phoned him just before Lawrence could enter and told him to have Charlotte arrested as well, as he was sure that Charlotte might have gone home to her parents' house."I want both Jack and Charlo
Charlotte, looking haggard, sat in the rear seat of the black car, watching the road as Lawrence drove down to the pack's station. It was just a few meters away from her father's house. As she sat in the back of the car, two trained guards sat beside her to prevent her from escaping.Charlotte sighed, wondering what her fate would be. She hadn't expected her life to turn out like this. Not only that, she had been gingerly preparing for her fourth wedding anniversary with Teddy Hudson and hadn't anticipated such a twist of fate. As the black car arrived at the pack's station, a middle-aged man in charge of controlling the activities of the station, more like the supreme leader there, greeted them."Welcome, Lawrence," the head of the station said as Lawrence got out of the car."The pack's Luna, welcome Luna Charlotte," the head warrior, Ezra Daniels, immediately bowed to Charlotte, not until Lawrence said, "Alpha Teddy ordered for Luna Charlotte to be locked up too, but in a different
Still in the dungeon, Alpha Lucas looked at Jack in shock and queried him, "Tell me it was all a lie, Jack! When?""I'm sorry, Father," Jack said, not meeting his father's gaze."At first, I didn't know Charlotte was my mate. I just ran into her the previous night, and the mating bond between us was so strong that I couldn't reject her. My wolf was wrestling with me to be with her and to mark her as my mate, but I had to withdraw as Teddy hadn't marked her yet."Jack knew his father would be disappointed in him, but he didn't feel bad about his actions. If the rules of the Norfield pack were right, then he shouldn't be punished.Or should he?Alpha Lucas scowled and responded, "That's no excuse for you to commit a sin like adultery, Jack! You knew the consequences of touching someone else's mate, not to mention the Alpha and Luna. You could have simply rejected Charlotte last night when you knew that she was already mated to Teddy. How can you be so shameless as to sleep with your brot
Anne bit her inner lip angrily and quickly faked a smile. "That's alright, Alpha. Let's have our breakfast first."Teddy sighed as he saw his beta, Caleb Brown, arrive. He had phoned Caleb immediately after leaving Jack's hideous house to see him.Ten years ago, Teddy was aware of Jack's love for the forest. He knew that his brother had a small house deep within the pack's forest in a secluded area. But it slipped his mind the previous night to send the guards to check there for Charlotte.When Jack traveled to the western world, Teddy knew the house had been abandoned and didn’t expect the inside to still be neat and homely.Not that he went there to check on Jack either. He was only aware of what his elder brother liked, and he was looking for a way to eliminate Jack."Greetings, Alpha. You sent for me," Beta Caleb Brown said. He wore a black ensemble, more like a security guard. But he was the next in command after Teddy."Yes, I did. Wait for me in my office," Teddy said, dismissin
