CHAPTER 2;

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 home.

And for four years that Charlotte had been living with Teddy and helping him in ruling over the pack, and after he took over the Alpha position from his father, Teddy hadn't brought any woman home. But that night, 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 to 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 his arms, and he drunkenly charged at Charlotte.

Seizing Charlotte by her neck, Teddy told her, "She's the rightful Luna of this pack, the woman who is supposed to be my wife, if not that you had bewitched my father into accepting you as the fake Luna and my chosen mate!" 

Teddy shouted at Charlotte, squeezing her neck as he felt to choke the life out of her.

"Teddy..." Charlotte's voice trailed as she tried to stop her husband from suffocating her. Charlotte tried to breathe, struggling to break free from Teddy's strong hold on her soft neck, but he wouldn't let go.

"Baby, don't kill her here. That would implicate us and you too," a soft voice said.

Quickly Teddy let go of Charlotte. She coughed and moved away from the beast of a husband that she had married.

With tears in her eyes, Charlotte looked from Teddy to the lady who had just spoken in disbelief. 

"You're right, Anne. If I eliminate Charlotte here, my father would find out, and that will implicate us truly. Come, let me show you to our bedroom upstairs," Teddy proclaimed.

"Teddy!" Charlotte jumped to their front as she stood in front of the stairs in the living room. "You cannot take this whòre to our bedroom! Take her out immediately!" Charlotte ordered Teddy, whose anger boils as he heard Charlotte refer to Anne Robert as a whòre.

"What? Who did you call a whòre? Honey, do you hear her speaking? I had been your mate even before you accepted this swine as your wife? I don't want to see her inside this house. Get rid of her to leave here and stay outside of our home," Anne said, as she burst out crying.

Teddy rushed to meet Charlotte. He dragged her away from the stairs as he was wearing a white shirt and black pants. Some of his shirt buttons were left undone. 

"Who did you call a whore? My mate?" Teddy charged at Charlotte and, in front of Anne, he removed his trouser belt and started flogging her. 

The maids working in the mansion could only peek at them, as none dares to intervene when Teddy and Charlotte were having marital problems. Teddy had warned them that if any of the two maids working in the mansion would dare to report him to his father, he would have the maid killed.

"Teddy! I'm sorry, stop!" Charlotte cried, but at the late hours of the night, Teddy flogged her without mercy, and Anne smiled.

"That's enough, sweetie, come take me to our bedroom. I need to rest as I'm tired for the night," Anne sweetly said, as she observed how Teddy had disciplined Charlotte without pity.

Satisfied with how he had disciplined Charlotte, Teddy let go of the woman crying on the tiled floor, and he walked up to meet Anne, using one hand to clutch his trousers that had loosened from removing his belt. 

Anne smiled sweetly and embraced Teddy. "Good boy," she told him, as she kissed him in the presence of Charlotte.

"Come, take me upstairs. I'm tired and cannot wait to have you," Anne spoke to Teddy as she had followed him to the neighboring pack function as his Luna, and it was only right that Teddy get rid of Charlotte.

"Teddy, you dare to flog me because of this prostitute?" Charlotte stood up again from the tiled floor. She had blue eyes that glow even when she was crying. Charlotte was pretty, but she was dark in complexion and still untouched as Teddy hadn't consummated their marriage.

Teddy's anger surged again to hear Charlotte refer to Anne Robert as a prostitute.

"I see that I haven't disciplined you enough. I'm going to kill you this night and bury your corpse before our fathers arrives. What gives you the right to refer to Anne as a prostitute?" Teddy wanted to charge towards Charlotte with killing intent in his eyes, but Anne quickly stopped him, "No, baby. Don't kill her, it would implicate us. Come, let us go to the bedroom and make some babies that she's unable to give to you. Once we make the baby, that way, I will become the rightful Luna and your father will be left with no other option than to accept me as your real mate and Luna of the pack," Anne said, and Teddy's eyes glowed in admiration of her words.

"You're right. Come, let us go," Teddy agreed, as he looked away from Charlotte angrily, and his eyes shifted to look at Anne, who walked up to meet him in her black stiletto heels.

Charlotte cried as she had worn a pink seductive dress to look sweet for Teddy, but he stared at her with so much hostility in his eyes, while he looked at Anne with love and warmth.

Charlotte, unable to bear the hurt and the betrayal, remembered when she got married to Teddy Hudson. Teddy had told her that Anne was only his friend. He introduced Anne to her as his assistant, and it was only right for her to acknowledge Anne, even though she didn't like the pretty, fair-skinned woman.

Charlotte had seen the way Teddy stared at Anne sweetly on several occasions that she followed him about, little did she know that Anne was Teddy's real mate and not just his assistant alone.

"Teddy! I'm not going to take this betrayal! I will end our marriage this night and divorce you. I, Charlotte Mateo, reject you, Alpha Teddy Hudson, as my husband and chosen mate!"

Teddy's eyes surged with rage as he turned to look back at Charlotte. He let go of Anne again, with a smirk playing on his lips, Teddy walked up to meet Charlotte, who was shivering and taking some steps backward just as he approached her. 

He asked, "What gives you the right to think that you can divorce me, Charlotte? Are you nut? Do you think you can walk away from this marriage? Oh, so you want to sabotage my name out there in front of our pack members and to my parents. You wouldn't dare! The way Anne endured and watched you parade yourself as my mate is the way you will endure and watch Anne birth my pups." With that, Teddy turned and went upstairs with Anne, leaving Charlotte to burst into tears in the living room.
