Chapter 22. Teddy's torture

last update Last Updated: 2024-07-23 02:52:34
In the cell, Charlotte waited for her father to return and to know her fate, aware that she would be punished for cheating on her mate. Yet, she didn't see her father return. As night fell, she lay back down on the floor and fell asleep.

The next morning, Charlotte awoke and saw a guard passing by. She rushed to call him to see if she could gain his help in reaching out to her father. However, the guard warned her, "I am not allowed to speak to you or reach out to anyone."

Charlotte was annoyed, knowing that she couldn't command the guard with her Luna power, so she awaited her father.

Meanwhile, Teddy arrived at the pack's station where Jack and Charlotte had been locked up. So far, Caleb had forwarded the matter to the court of law governing their pack, and the hearing was scheduled for the following week. That would determine Charlotte and Jack's fate when they would appear for the court case regarding cheating on their mates.

Teddy had wanted to visit the pack's station the previou

    Charlotte struggled to break free from the guard who had let her out, and she was tied to a tree while the guard prepared his whip.The guard's forehead perspired as he hadn't thought he would be subjected to this — punishing the Luna of their pack. His life was also at risk, but he had to obey the Alpha's command."Please, don't flog me!" Charlotte cried just as the guard resumed whipping her. Her father arrived and rushed to the scene to stop the guard from flogging her."Are you crazy? What gives you the right to whip my daughter?" Beta Paul Mateo was furious, and using his Beta power, he pushed the guard aside, as he had trained the guard before along with a few others."I'm sorry, Beta Paul. But this is Alpha Teddy's order, and I cannot disobey the Alpha," the guard said. He was a young man, not yet thirty years old."Stand back and stay away from my daughter!" Beta Paul warned. He was equally at fault for allowing his wife and the Alpha's wife to give Charlotte to Teddy.Charlott

    Before Teddy could speak, Beta Paul said, "No, Charlotte. You cannot divorce the Alpha. You're the Luna of this pack, and what you have to do is apologize to Teddy and prove to him that you're sorry for your mistakes in being with Jack. All of this won’t be happening, and I'm certain Alpha Teddy will forgive you and gladly accept you back."Charlotte looked at Teddy's face and shook her head in disapproval. She was ready to take the whip; if not for her father showing up to stop the guard, she would have endured it. She was willing to go through any amount of torture, but she would never accept Alpha Teddy as her husband or mate again.If only her father were aware of all the hardships she had to endure in the name of marriage.Without giving her father's proposal a second thought, Charlotte voiced, "No, Father! I cannot accept Alpha Teddy as my husband. I do not want him, and I cannot be his Luna or this pack's Luna anymore. Anne is Teddy's mate, so he should crown her his Luna."Stan

    "But Teddy wouldn't allow us to see Jack. We are his parents, his family. Where did we go wrong by birthing him and bringing him into this world?" Ex-Luna Sandra questioned her husband, and he frowned while Teddy heard her and paused at the mansion's entrance."The day Jack was born first was the beginning of all these nightmares. I was supposed to be the first child, the first son and direct heir to the Norfield pack, but you birthed an ungrateful son first. Now it's time to send him back to his creator, the moon goddess who placed him in your womb, and you should prepare to reborn him again as your second son, while I will be the first," Teddy's eyes glowed as he burst out laughing menacingly.Luna Sandra and her husband stared at their second son in disbelief."Teddy, is that why you dislike Jack? Jack is not going to take the ruling position. Please let him live; you can banish him, and he would never return to this pack. Please..." Luna Sandra begged, kneeling under the hot sun in

    A week in the cell, Charlotte hadn't seen her parents since the last time she saw Teddy arrive. She had expected her father to try to resolve the matter with Teddy, given that her father was a well-respected Beta of their pack. But under Teddy's rule, Charlotte knew that her father didn't have a say.She sat on the floor in the empty cell, wondering what would happen next.It was a bright Saturday morning in the Norfield pack, and during the weekends, they usually held a female meeting to discuss how to improve their packs and create work for the women.Charlotte was weak, as she hadn't eaten. Just as she heard the sound of footsteps approaching, she realized she hadn't even seen the guards working in the cell unit. They avoided her cell, and criminals were hardly caught in their pack, so the cell was empty."You have been summoned to appear at the pack's court today," the uniformed man in black informed Charlotte. He didn't address her as Luna, and Charlotte knew that the man, or any

    Charlotte couldn't believe her ears that the matter would be handled so easily. Teddy was trying to maintain his pretentious image to the pack members, pretending to be a good Alpha while skipping the fact that he wasn't her mate. He hadn't mated with her since they got married, and he flogged her at home for any single mistake."Luna Charlotte!" the pack's judge called Charlotte's attention again. He was a young man of Jack's age and was Jack's friend before he left the pack ten years ago.Charlotte gulped. She didn't want to reject her mate. She also didn't want Jack to be killed or for her to return to Teddy's mansion.She looked around and saw her parents standing in the crowded hall, alongside the Alpha's parents. With tears in her eyes, she looked back at Alpha Jack, as she didn't want to utter the word “rejection.”The murmuring in the hall began, and Teddy was waiting patiently for Charlotte to reject Jack, knowing that no one could go against the final verdict."Luna Charlotte

    Ex-Luna Sandra felt relieved as they arrived at her husband's house, the former palace. She was glad that Teddy hadn't ordered Jack to be killed."Mom, don't you think it's best to go and see Charlotte?" Jack asked his mother just as he got out of the car. He had driven in the same car as his mother, while his father and sister had left the pack's court in a different vehicle.Ex-Luna Sandra turned off her car engine and replied, "No, Jack. No one is allowed to see Charlotte except for her family. As much as I want to go and see her, the guards have ordered me to stand back," she explained, looking at her son's face."You should get some rest. I know it's not easy dealing with the mating bond being broken, but Teddy is Alpha now, and we have to respect his decision, irrespective of the fact that we are older than him. It was your father's unwise and restless decision to hand over the ruling position to Teddy when he thought you wouldn't return to us again."Jack sighed and looked away

    Anne went into the mansion and rushed to the guest room to pack her bag and leave the house. She had been Teddy's assistant, working alongside Beta Caleb, but now, seeing Teddy refusing to let go of Charlotte and divorce her as his wife, Anne felt bad."Anne," Teddy appeared at the guest room door to speak with her. He sensed her pain because she was his mate."What is it, Alpha?" Anne inquired, not looking back at Teddy as she stood beside the wardrobe, packing up her bag of clothes that she had sneakily brought from her father's house."It's not like I'm sending you away. I just need some time alone to address some pressing matters, okay? You will still continue with your work as my assistant while I remain married to Charlotte."Teddy drew nearer to Anne as he spoke to her. "Do you understand?" he asked, holding her closely, touching her head, and using his thumb to wipe her tears away."Okay," Anne replied, watching Teddy turn and leave her room.Having no other option, Anne walked

    As Anne entered the living room with her mother, her mother quickly dragged her to her room and shut the door before the rest of her siblings could step out."Mom, I cannot do what you're asking me to do," Anne refused as she entered her room with her mother."I'm not asking you to do it. I will help you do it on your behalf," her mother said, and Anne gasped again."Ha! No, Mom! What if someone finds out? You cannot kill Luna Charlotte. No... I cannot support you in that, because it would ruin my chances with Alpha Teddy," Anne insisted, shaking her head continuously. Her mother looked at her in disbelief and said, "I'm only trying to help you regain what is rightfully yours. Even the Moon Goddess would smile at us for doing what is necessary, and you're rejecting my kind help.""No, Mother! Not by killing anyone. Please don't bring this up again. I can never support you in this. Besides, where is Charlotte? I haven't seen her, only Alpha Teddy.""Oh! So you don't know what happened i

    Charlotte looked at the house frontage and met Lady Sandra's gaze on her. She replied, "Nothing, Ma. I came to see Alpha Lucas, and Elijah offered to bring me here." Charlotte looked at Elijah Samuel with a smile curving on her face as she looked back at Jack's mother. "Okay," Lady Sandra replied and told Jack, "Jack, you shouldn't fight with him. That was so wrong of you just because you see Charlotte and him discussing. It's not like Charlotte is your wife or mate. So she can be with any man that she likes for now." Lady Sandra knew that she had spoken to Jack to go and marry Charlotte, but Jack didn't want to, insisting that it was only after Teddy had gotten his release from prison. Jack looked away from Charlotte and Elijah as he went back to his car. Without saying a word to his parents, he started his car, ordered the security men to open the gate, and then he drove out of the residence. Charlotte breathed out with relief and told Elijah, "If Jack makes any trouble for you,

    Lady Harper entered the kitchen and prepared lunch for Charlotte. As soon as she was done preparing the delicious soup, she came out to the dining table and served the fish soup for Charlotte to eat.Charlotte stood up from the couch and walked to the table to take her seat. She sat down on a chair and said to her mother, "Mom, I want to go and see Alpha Lucas in his house. I need to speak with him to release Teddy."Lady Harper sighed as she set up Charlotte's meal in front of her on the dining table. She told her daughter, "Alpha Lucas cares more about Teddy than any of us in this pack, including you and Anne. I think he wants the best for his son, and that is for Teddy to change. Teddy is very stubborn, and if he isn't punished with an iron hand, he wouldn't change.""But Mom, Anne is suffering. Is it until Anne dies that Alpha Lucas will grant Teddy his freedom? Teddy has already learned his lesson. So I will have to go and see his father today, once I am done eating my meal," Cha

    ### The Following DayLady Harper left for the market to restock the house with food supplies, and Charlotte seized the opportunity to sneak out and visit Anne. She had been feeling restless and had decided to check up on Anne, even if it was just once.Charlotte donned a yellow maternity dress as she stepped out of her room and slipped on her brown slippers. She grabbed her purse, which contained her phone, and carefully left her father's house. She exited the house and made her way towards Anne's father's house.As Charlotte walked down the street, she came across Elijah, who was driving out of his father's house."Charlotte," Elijah called, rolling down his car window as he spotted her. He was dressed in black, and Charlotte smiled as she paused to greet him."Good morning.""Morning! Where are you headed? Can I drop you there?" he asked, but she shook her head and replied, "No, thank you. Where I'm going isn't far from here.""Okay, that's fine. I came to see my dad, as you know t

    As Charlotte got back home, she didn't immediately discuss Anne Robert with her mother."Mom, I'm home," Charlotte said as she entered the living room and saw her mother busy in the kitchen.Her mother's favorite place was the kitchen."Welcome, Charlotte. How was the hospital visit today?" Lady Harper inquired as Charlotte entered the kitchen to join her."It was great, Mom. My baby is fine and will be arriving soon. I can't wait to meet him. What do you think I should name him? I need to start preparing for all the baby things," Charlotte said excitedly to her mother, who was busy pounding crayfish with a mortar and pestle while sitting on a wooden stool."That's wonderful news, Charlotte. Any name you choose will be perfect. You know he's a strong pup," Lady Harper smiled."I know, Mom," Charlotte replied, enjoying the conversation."Great. You can go inside and rest. I'll finish preparing our lunch and join you soon to help arrange everything you need for the baby.""Okay, Mom. I

    Lady Linda looked sad and replied, "Anne wouldn't hurt you. Please, can you help me by coming to talk to her? We can get some warriors to accompany you if you're scared of visiting my home alone."Charlotte sighed and replied, "I will think about it. I cannot just come tomorrow or today. Give me time to think about it, and I will come and see her. You should tell Anne that I said Teddy cares more about her than anything else in this world.""Hmm. I want her to forget about Teddy and move on, if not to reject him too," Lady Linda said, and this time Charlotte laughed."Hahaha! It's not easy to forget your true mate, Ma. I think you don't know what Anne is going through. She loves my ex-husband, and he loves her too. I think if it wasn't for Alpha Lucas forcing Teddy to marry me, Teddy wouldn't have accepted me for one day. I think it's not his fault either. Anne has been through a lot, and I will try to come and see her. I promise, but not today," Charlotte said as she considered discu

    Charlotte felt her stomach tug at her from within, as if her baby had eyes in the outside world to see Jack.She sensed the intense gaze of someone on her right. But as she looked ahead, she caught sight of a black car driving into the establishment. Only then did it occur to her that the powerful four-story building she was seeing ahead belonged to Jack.Charlotte swiftly looked away and back at Elijah Samuel as he insisted on dropping her off."Come on, Charlotte. As the former Luna of our pack, you shouldn't be trekking. Don't you have a car or haven't you learned to drive at least?" Annabelle struck up a conversation with Charlotte as she led her to her brother's car, and Charlotte couldn't protest at this point.Charlotte got into the back seat with Annabelle. She replied, "I don't know how to drive. Lawrence drives me whenever I want to go to the women's meetings.""Wow! Anyway, it's alright. I heard all that happened, but I didn't know if I could come and see you. I am so sorry

    The following week, Charlotte woke up in her room and prepared to go for her medical check-up.She wore a green dress and stood in front of her mirror, admiring her reflection."Hmm, so Alpha Lucas came and apologized to me about Teddy. I hope that he will be given a second chance too." Charlotte picked up a black comb and combed her long brown hair, then she put it into a bun and smiled at her reflection.Her tummy had grown bigger, and she caressed her baby bump. "I cannot wait to meet you, baby."Charlotte smiled after she had rubbed her hand on her bump. Then she went back to her bed and picked up her phone, which she placed into her black handbag.It was a bright Monday morning, so she exited her room on the top floor and went downstairs to go to the hospital."Mom, I am going for my baby check-up," Charlotte said as she paused in the living room and saw her mother in the kitchen.Lady Harper stepped out of the kitchen and asked Charlotte, "Won't you wait to have breakfast first

    Jack was annoyed after Elijah Samuel left him."Alpha, you shouldn't have gotten into an altercation with him," Waylon carefully cautioned Jack, but Jack glared at him."Why shouldn't I? Elijah keeps getting on my nerves, and now he thinks he can use my family against me. He knows Teddy and I didn’t get along, but I didn’t sleep with Charlotte just to get back at Teddy. It’s because she's my fated mate!" Jack growled, and Waylon bowed his head."Calm down, Alpha. I think that's what Elijah and a few of Teddy's supporters wouldn't understand. I heard that Teddy has let go of Charlotte; why not propose to her and marry her to reduce the gossip?" Waylon suggested, but Jack shook his head."No, that wouldn't reduce the gossip. Our pack members will still talk about me. I'm just not happy with all of this, and my father is the major cause of it all," Jack said, making his way to his car as he wanted to return home. Although a part of him wanted to see Charlotte, he thought against it."You

    "Okay," Alpha Lucas smiled as he stood at the front of the balcony where Charlotte, her mother, Sofia, and her twins were gathered.Sofia's son walked up to Alpha Lucas and touched his legs.Alpha Lucas, who wasn't fond of babies—having not carried a little one in a long time—crouched to meet the little boy's height."How are you?" he asked and lifted the baby boy into his arms."I'm fine," the little boy, named Mathias, smiled, and Alpha Lucas smiled back.Charlotte couldn't believe that Mathias would smile at Alpha Lucas, yet he refused to be carried by her. She shook her head, and Alpha Lucas returned his gaze to Charlotte, saying, "I saw the divorce papers and knew that you have signed yours. Please find a place in your heart to forgive my family."Charlotte lowered her face upon hearing Alpha Lucas say that. "Okay, Alpha," she replied, not raising her head to meet his gaze."I will forward your shares from Teddy's funds to you. Although I lack the heart to release Teddy from the
