In the Norfield packs, Charlotte Mateo, age 22, waited for her husband, the Alpha of the pack, to return home, but she hadn't seen him.She knew he had been avoiding her of late, but being 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 his father and hers were friends, as her father was the Beta of the pack. To seal their friendship, they had Teddy marry her.Charlotte had just turned 18 years when she got betrothed to Teddy Hudson. Teddy was the second son of the Hudson family, and as his elder brother had been abroad for years, not showing any 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 prospect that Teddy would look after the pack and help protect their packs 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 rig
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, Alpha Lucas gave them the new duplex as their matrimonial gift. For four years that Charlotte had been living with Teddy and helping him in ruling over the Norfield packs, and after he took over the Alpha position from his father, Teddy hadn't brought any woman home. But today, being their marriage anniversary and Charlotte's 22nd birthday night, 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."Do you just ask me who's she?" Teddy let go of the woman in hi
Charlotte cried and rushed upstairs to find out where Teddy was taking Anne tonight. "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's 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 tonight, he brought his assistant home; not only did he tell Charlotte that Anne was his new mate and Luna, he also took Anne to the bedroom that was rightfully Charlotte's."Teddy!! Teddy!!" Charlotte cried outside the room door as she could hear Teddy and Anne smooching inside the room. "Yeah, baby, give it to me! Ah! Yeah! Harder! Mm.""Teddy!!" Charlotte shouted again. However, just then, she heard a deep voice from downstairs calling, "Is anyone at home??" Charlotte froze; who was that? The voice sounded so powerful and masculine, and Charlotte qu
Charlotte quickly snapped out of her trance as she heard Teddy yelling at her, and he charged towards the masculine man in the corridor to drag her out and beat her mercilessly.However, Jack stood in between Teddy and Charlotte, protecting Charlotte behind him, and 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 an artificial intelligence system that managed their mansion."Welcome, you? You dare to show up in my house unnoticed and just that? You kissed my wife in my house and in my presence?" Teddy roared as he stared 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 sleeps around with men in my absence!
"STOP IT! Stop!" Charlotte rushed to separate the two men. And though she was weak and of no match to withstand any of their strength, Jack obeyed Charlotte's command as he beat his younger brother badly, not minding that he was in Teddy's house and, also, that Teddy was the ruling Alpha of the pack."Charlotte..." Jack reached to touch her, but she 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 up on his feet. At the speed that 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 in the next minute, he was in front of Teddy attacking him and dealing with him without giving Teddy the chance to retaliate.Charlotte saw how Teddy pushed her hands away from helping him stand up, but he accepted Anne's help. However, as Teddy stood up, staggeri
Charlotte didn't know what to say to Teddy. Truly, Jack was her real mate. She had perceived him as her real mate the moment she inhaled that sweeping smoky scent that was like coffee. She wanted to drink him in and have him plunge inside her, but he was her husband's elder brother. She couldn't boldly acknowledge the truth in Teddy's face. 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 ocean of thoughts, contemplating what to tell Teddy, he moved away from the room window and approached her."Answer me, Charlotte! Is my elder brother, Jack Hudson, your real mate? Did you feel the mating bond connection with him that you had to grip him closely and kiss him fiercely too?" Teddy demanded as he finally approached Charlotte, startling her out of her sea of wild thoughts."No..." Charlotte responded in a shaky voice, bu
With a heart full of ego, instead of Teddy apologizing to his wife Charlotte and pleading for her forgiveness for the years he had maltreated her and cheated on her with Anne Robert, he trailed his finger over the card and asked her, "You set up all this here? Why didn’t you say anything when you saw me arrive with Anne?"How could Charlotte explain that it was their anniversary night when Teddy had stared at her with rage and had flogged her mercilessly? How could she tell him that it was her 22nd birthday, in addition to being their wedding anniversary?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. 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
"What??" Anne screamed, and Charlotte carefully stood up to bolt out of the mansion. She could not bear any pups for Teddy. For four years, he had lied to his family, claiming she was barren, while he hadn’t tried hard to help her conceive."Teddy? You cannot do this to me!" Anne cried, while Charlotte carried the tray of food and walked to the kitchen. She said to them calmly, "The food isn't enough, so I want to get some extra. Will you care to join us, Anne?" Charlotte asked with a playful smirk on her lips while Anne glared at her."Sweetheart, you cannot mate with Charlotte! I cannot withstand the pain if you do that to me," Anne cried in Teddy's hold, ignoring Charlotte, who left them and went into the kitchen. Quickly, Charlotte dropped the tray of food there and bolted out of the house through the kitchen back door. She wouldn’t be used as Teddy's baby-making machine. She fled the residence, not caring if there were ongoing rogue attacks.Charlotte ran, heading back to her fath
At the pack's hospital grounds, many pack members were present, standing outside with their flowers and numerous gifts as they sang happily for Charlotte."Congratulations, Luna!"Charlotte was stunned. She waved to them, knowing that the pack members were only showing their love and support for her.The air of the hospital grounds was filled with love and jubilation as the pack members sang, "Congratulations, Luna Charlotte. We are so happy for you. Welcome, baby, alpha baby."Charlotte was frustrated, but she managed a smile and walked ahead to her mother's car and got in.Thankfully, there were pack warriors present to prevent the happy members from rushing over to meet Charlotte and her baby.The pack members were told to deliver their gifts to Beta Paul's residence.Charlotte exhaled heavily once she shut the back door of her mother's car. She sat there with her baby in her arms, and the guards cleared the pack members away that had filled the street to make way while Lady Harper
Charlotte calmed down and slowly petted her baby to stop crying. The night had fallen. A nurse arrived to check on her and her baby, and after the nurse left, Charlotte went to put her baby in his cot, thinking of reporting Jack to his father to sign an agreement to keep his distance away from her.After admiring her sleeping baby—his brown skin like that of a newborn and his black curly hair, as he had green eyes too, like Jack—Charlotte moved back to her own hospital bed and sat on it.She went to use the bathroom and returned to her bed to sleep.****The next morning, Charlotte awoke early on her hospital bed, and it was still 7 am. She was aware that she would be going home as she had been discharged from the hospital.As she was no longer married to Teddy, Charlotte knew that she was going home to her father's house.Although it wasn't normal for a woman to be in her father's house with a child like a single mother, Charlotte knew that no one in their pack would dare to talk dow
Earlier, Jack was driving home when he recalled that Elijah was the reason he and Charlotte had accepted their rejection. Fueled by anger, Jack drove straight to Elijah's company to confront him."How dare you come between me and my woman?" Jack grasped Elijah by his shirt, not giving him a chance to reply."Alpha," all the men in the pack wanted to intervene to separate the two, but they knew that Jack was ruthless and the Alpha in command, even if he hadn’t formally accepted the throne yet."I didn’t come between you and your woman. Don’t pour your frustrations on me. You rejected Charlotte, remember? If I hadn’t taken her to the hospital, would you have cared that she was walking under the hot sun, pregnant with your child?""Shut up!" Jack smacked Elijah hard in the face, causing his nose to crack."Say any more nonsense about Charlotte, and I will kill you. If you value yourself, stay away from her!" Jack warned Elijah, not caring about the other men looking on. He turned and go
"Hmm." Jack sighed as he stood there watching Charlotte carefully carry their baby. She sat on the bed and resumed breastfeeding the child."I know you’re angry with me, Charlotte, but it's not like I don’t care about you," Jack said as he moved closer to the bed."You don't need to act like you care. Just keep the flowers and leave. My baby and I will be fine," Charlotte replied nonchalantly. Jack asked her, "Why? Is it because of Elijah? Are you interested in him now?"Seeing the warm smile that graced Charlotte's lips annoyed Jack, but he controlled his rage as he heard her respond, "Whatever business I have with Elijah shouldn’t be your concern. Just leave me alone and focus on your own life. Your father is the pack alpha, and your brother has been released, so you are free to move on. Oh! I almost forgot about your rejection the last time. I've thought about it, and I’ve decided to accept it."Charlotte felt a pang of pain in her heart, as if it were about to split in two, but sh
Charlotte woke up in the morning to the sound of her mother's arrival."Good morning, Mom," Charlotte greeted as she carefully rose from the bed. She looked over to her mother, who had gone to the baby cot to check on Godson."Good morning, Charlotte. How was your night?" Lady Harper asked after admiring Godson."It was fine, Mother. How was yours? Where is Dad?" Charlotte replied, to which her mother responded, "He went to work. You know the rogues were planning to relaunch an attack on one of our borders after seeing that Jack didn’t want to rule and Teddy has been locked up. So he went to inspect the borders.""Hmmm. I hope there won’t be any losses?" Charlotte asked worriedly as her mother moved closer to her bed."No, everything will be fine," Lady Harper smiled and added, "You will be returning home with me tomorrow, so get as much rest as you want.""Alright, Mom. How about Teddy? Did you see him? I heard Alpha Lucas ordered Teddy to be released.""No, I didn’t go to the pack s
Jack arrived at his father's house, drove his car onto the premises, and parked it."Dad," Jack called as he saw his father and Beta Paul at the front of the house."Jack, what are you doing here? I thought you were with Charlotte at the hospital and with my new grandchild," Alpha Lucas said with a smile while Jack frowned."Dad, we need to discuss what's going on. Have you granted Teddy's release from the pack's station yet?" Jack asked as he approached his father, who looked very happy."Yes. I don't want anything to kill my joy in welcoming my new grandchild," Alpha Lucas replied, and Jack sighed."Alright. So how about the alpha kingship? Are you going to give it to Teddy, or must I still sign it?" Jack stood in front of his father, who frowned and replied, "You don't want to rule the pack, and I cannot give it to Teddy, so I will remain the ruler until I kick the bucket. Are you satisfied with that?"Jack took a deep breath and replied, "Yes.""Good. You can go home. I don't have
After Teddy finished having his bath and changing into comfortable clothes in Caleb's room, Caleb offered him a cutter to shave off his long beard so that he wouldn't scare Anne away. Teddy stepped out of the bathroom looking much better than when he had first gotten out of prison.Teddy picked up the black shorts and trousers Caleb had put on the bed for him to wear. After putting on the white top and black trousers, he looked at his reflection in the mirror and was back to his normal appearance, thanks to Caleb.Once Teddy was dressed, he came out of Caleb's room and met Caleb in the living room."Alpha, do you care to join us for lunch?" Caleb asked Teddy, although he knew Teddy didn't want to waste much time.Teddy was hungry since he hadn't been fed well at the pack's station. Although he was an alpha, he didn't lose weight or become lean."Caleb, I don't want to hear any stories about anything happening to Anne. So I want to see her before anything else," Teddy said, and Caleb a
Jack looked at the baby's face as Charlotte pulled her breast away from the baby's small mouth. The baby resembled him so much, and Jack said, "You have my child, so why are you acting like you don't know that you have something that belongs to me?""My child is not yours," Charlotte cut him off, glaring at him. "Go and look for your mate elsewhere to give you a child. My son isn't yours, nor do I want you anywhere close to him."Jack frowned but didn't say anything."He's mine, and I am not here to argue with you. I only came here because of my child. What do you plan to name him?" Jack asked, but Charlotte remained silent, not responding.Jack moved closer to the bed to meet Charlotte, but she stayed silent while the little baby in her arms smiled upon seeing Jack's face.Charlotte frowned, not wanting to believe that her baby was already aware of his father's presence.She kept silent as Jack placed the baby gift beside her bed."You should name him Samson," Jack suggested, and C
Jack was in his office still contemplating visiting his father and accepting the throne when Waylon George rushed in."Alpha, guess what happened!" Waylon exclaimed, and Jack looked at him, asking, "What's wrong?""Alpha, my girlfriend just called and told me that Charlotte has welcomed a baby boy, and your parents are at the pack hospital to see her," Waylon said excitedly while Jack looked stunned by the news."Aren't you going to the pack hospital to see Charlotte too?" Waylon asked, and Jack sighed."I don't know. Should I go and see her? Charlotte already warned me to stay away from her since I don't want to rule the pack," Jack replied with a weak smile.Waylon asked, "So what do you want to do? Are you going to see her or what?"Jack took a deep breath and replied, "I don't know. But I will go see her since the child is mine.""That's more like it. Let me help you get the baby gifts ready," Waylon said before swiftly leaving Jack's office. Jack sat in his office chair, ponderin
