Charlotte was at home in Teddy's mansion, wearing a white dress as she pondered what Teddy went to the courthouse to do. Normally, Charlotte used to accompany Teddy to his courthouse visit. But as she was sick, she told him that she wasn't able to follow him.As she sat on the dining table in the living room downstairs, Lawrence arrived and bowed before her."Greetings, Luna," said Lawrence. He bowed before Charlotte, who was seated on a chair at the dining table.Anne was in her guest room. But she walked out to the living room, wearing a black dress that one of the maids had helped her to bring from her father's house.Anne was awaiting Teddy's arrival from the courthouse. It was already noon, yet Teddy wasn't yet back.Anne had her breakfast in her room, as she was avoiding Charlotte.She looked at Lawrence hopefully to find out why he was in the mansion, and why Teddy wasn't yet back."What do you want, Lawrence?" Asked Charlotte. Although Lawrence was older than her, she was the
In the Norfield packs, Charlotte Mateo, age 22, waited for her husband and mate, the Alpha of the pack, to return home, but she hadn't seen him.She knew he had been avoiding her lately, but as the Luna of the pack, she didn't want to leave him or end their loveless marriage.She had been his wife for four years, and their fathers were friends, as her father was the Beta of the pack. To seal their friendship, they had arranged for Teddy to marry her.Charlotte had just turned 18 when she got betrothed to Teddy Hudson. Teddy was the second son of the Hudson family, and since his elder brother had been abroad for years, showing no interest in the ruling power of the Norfield packs, Alpha Lucas Hudson decided to hand over the affairs of the pack to Teddy in the hope that he would look after the pack and help protect them from the ongoing rogue attacks.Alpha Lucas Hudson was still alive, though aged; he had two sons and a daughter. His two sons were Jack and Teddy.Jack was the rightful
Charlotte looked taken aback to see the woman Teddy Hudson had brought home into their matrimonial home. This house was given to Teddy and her as their matrimonial gift from Alpha Lucas Hudson. After the night Charlotte had accepted Teddy as her husband and chosen mate, Alpha Lucas gave them the new duplex house as their matrimonial home.For four years, Charlotte had been living with Teddy and helping him rule over the Norfield pack after he took over the Alpha position from his father. Teddy hadn't brought any woman home until today, being their marriage anniversary and Charlotte's 22nd birthday night, when Teddy came home with another woman in his arms—a fair-skinned woman."Can't you greet?" Teddy demanded as his green eyes glowered at Charlotte, making her snap out of her trance."Um, good evening, who's she?" Charlotte immediately asked Teddy as her eyes moved to stare at the young woman of her age in a seductive crimson gown."Did you just ask me who she is?" Teddy let go of th
Charlotte cried as she rushed upstairs to find out where Teddy was taking Anne to. "Teddy, you cannot do this to me. I'm your wife and Luna; you cannot bring Anne into our home. Teddy! Open this door!" Charlotte cried as she stood in front of the room door that was the master bedroom. Since Charlotte had moved into this house and had been living with Teddy Hudson for four years, Teddy hadn't entered this room to make love to her. But today, he had brought his assistant home. Not only did he tell Charlotte that Anne was his new mate and Luna, but he also took Anne to the bedroom that rightfully belonged to Charlotte."Teddy!! Teddy!!" Charlotte cried outside the room door as she heard Teddy and Anne smooching inside. "Yeah, baby, give it to me! Ah! Yeah! Harder! Mm.""Teddy!!" Charlotte shouted again. However, just then, she heard a voice from downstairs calling, "Is anyone at home??" Charlotte froze; who was that? The voice sounded so powerful and masculine, and Charlotte quickly wip
Charlotte quickly snapped out of her trance as she heard Teddy yelling at her. He charged towards the masculine man in the corridor to drag Charlotte out and beat her mercilessly.However, Jack stood between Teddy and Charlotte, protecting her behind him. He demanded of his younger brother, "What's going on with you, Teddy? Is that how to welcome me on my return from abroad?"Charlotte was shocked that the man who had just kissed her was now Teddy's brother, Jack Hudson. How did she not recognize him? That was because she had switched off the corridor light and controlled it with artificial intelligence that managed their mansion."Welcome, you? You dare to show up in my house unnoticed and not just that? You kissed my wife in my house and in my presence?" Teddy roared, staring at Jack with so much hostility in his eyes."Move away from Charlotte now! I'm going to deal with her today! I never knew that she was a horny bitch and slept around with men in my absence!" Teddy shouted as he
"STOP IT! Stop!" Charlotte rushed to separate the two men. Though she was weak and no match to withstand any of their strength, Jack obeyed Charlotte's command as he beat his younger brother into a stupor, not minding that he was in Teddy's house and that Teddy was the ruling Alpha of the Norfield pack."Charlotte..." Jack reached out to touch her, but Charlotte moved away from him and rushed to meet Teddy."Are you alright?" Charlotte asked Teddy as she crouched in front of him, and Teddy moved his hands away from Charlotte's touch.Anne quickly rushed to help Teddy stand on his feet. At the speed Jack had used to attack Teddy, both Anne and Charlotte were shocked. It was as if Jack had disappeared from where he was standing, and the next minute he was in front of Teddy, attacking him and dealing with him, not giving Teddy the chance to retaliate.Charlotte saw how Teddy pushed her hands away from helping him stand, but he accepted Anne's help. However, as Teddy stood up, staggering f
Charlotte didn't know what to say to Teddy. Truly, Jack was her mate. She perceived him as her mate the moment she inhaled that sweet smoky scent that was like coffee. She wanted to drink him and have him inside her, but he was her husband's elder brother. She couldn't boldly acknowledge the truth to Teddy. She was afraid of Teddy's reaction. He had been her husband for four years, and he would beat her mercilessly if she dared to tell him the truth: that Jack Hudson was her real mate.While Charlotte was still lost in her thoughts, contemplating what to tell Teddy, he moved away from the room window and approached her."Answer me! Is my brother, Jack Hudson, your mate? Did you feel the mating bond with him that you had to grip him closely and kiss him too?" Teddy demanded as he finally approached Charlotte, startling her out of her thoughts."No..." Charlotte responded in a shaking voice, but Teddy didn't believe her."What do you mean by no? And why is your voice shaking? Do you thi
With a heart full of ego, instead of Teddy apologizing to his wife, Charlotte, and pleading for her forgiveness for the years he had mistreated her and cheated on her with Anne Robert, he trailed his finger over the card and asked, "You set up all this here? Why didn't you say anything when you saw me arrive with Anne?"How could she tell him it was their anniversary night when he had stared at her with rage and had flogged her mercilessly? How could she have told him that it was her 22nd birthday and also their wedding anniversary night?Charlotte didn't reply, which annoyed Teddy, but he already knew the answer: it was because he had come home with Anne Robert in his arms.Anne had followed him to the neighboring pack function, and they had arrived at the Norfield pack gate late, so he had to take Anne home with him to rest before she returned to her father's house the following day.Teddy knew he was cheating on Charlotte with Anne, as Anne had been his mate since she was younger.
