CHAPTER 3

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 master bedroom door. Since Charlotte had moved into this house and lived with Teddy Hudson four years ago, Teddy hadn't entered this room to make love to her. But today, he brought his assistant home, not only telling Charlotte that Anne was his new mate and Luna, but also taking Anne to the bedroom that was rightfully Charlotte's.

"Teddy!! Teddy!!" Charlotte cried outside the room door as she could hear Teddy and Anne's smooching inside. "Yeah, baby, give it to me! Yeah! Harder! Mm."

"Teddy!!" Charlotte shouted again, but 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. Charlotte quickly wiped her tears away.

Has a rogue entered their house? Charlotte wondered as she quickly searched the corridor for any instrument she could use to protect herself. 

Charlotte quickly picked up a mopping stick that she saw. She knew she was weak and couldn't fight, so she had to protect herself, as she wasn't expecting any visitors, nor was Teddy.

"Is anyone at home?" Charlotte heard the deep voice coming upstairs, and quickly she controlled the switch. 

"Light off!" Charlotte commanded, and she could feel her heart beating loudly in her chest as the corridor lights turned off. Just as she inhaled the most intoxicating masculine scent that wafted through the air and into her nostrils.

The masculine scent was smoky, and Charlotte was beginning to lose control of the mopping stick she was holding. She stood in a corner, ready to protect herself and hit the intruder who had dared to come into Alpha Teddy's mansion without any of the guards catching him or stopping him.

"Anyone here?" As the voice neared, he stopped, sensing the sound of a rapid heartbeat. Not only that, he perceived a sweet lemonade scent that drew him in, making his wolf charge within him.

Charlotte, with speed, immediately moved away from the corner she was hiding in to hit the intruder on the head, but he immediately caught her arm, which had reached to hit him with the mopping stick.

Charlotte came face to face with the tall, handsome, formidable figure that stood before her. His strong, masculine presence commanded submission, and Charlotte's wolf began to giggle in excitement for the first time in her life. Her wolf danced happily inside her body as her blue eyes met his green, glowing eyes. The man muttered, "Mate."

In the dark corridor, he inhaled Charlotte's lemonade scent and dipped his head into the side of her neck. 

She shivered in his hold as he sniffed her in the darkness. Inhaling her scent drew him in, and the next moment, what Charlotte hadn't anticipated, the stranger who was making her lose control of her sanity, kissed her neck and nibbled on her sensitive spot.

"Mmm," Charlotte moaned. She was committing adultery as a married woman and was supposed to push this masculine figure away to protect her dignity and remind him that she was married. But she succumbed and ran her hands through his hair, hugging him closely while he held her dangerously close to himself, continuing to kiss her. From the nape of her neck, he kissed and licked all the way to her earlobes and face.

"Who are you? I have been searching for my mate for a long time, not knowing my mate was at home," the man said, his lips trailing Charlotte's right ear as he gently bit her earlobe. 

He kissed her cheeks and reached for her face to look at him. He met her watery blue eyes, which glimmered with hope and love, and he still didn't know who she was.

He kissed her tears away and told her, "I'm here now, and no one will hurt you again." 

With that, he kissed Charlotte on her lips, and just then, the corridor lights turned on. Standing there, looking at the two people kissing with eyes full of rage, was Teddy Hudson.

"What the fụck is going on here??" Teddy demanded as the light came on, and he caught his wife, Charlotte, and his elder brother, Jack Hudson, kissing each other passionately and reaching to strip themselves bare in the corridor.

Teddy had first noticed Charlotte's increased heartbeat as he was thrusting into Anne's warmth. Not only did he hear her heart beating loudly, but he also sensed she was in danger, which made him withdraw from Anne just before he could reach his climax. 

He quickly dressed and rushed to protect Charlotte, knowing she was a weak she-wolf. But what he hadn't expected was to open the door and find darkness in the previously bright corridor. 

Not only that, he sensed a familiar, challenging presence that wasn't a rogue and quickly switched on the light to see what was happening in the corridor.

Teddy saw his elder brother, Jack Hudson, and Charlotte kissing each other sweetly and with passion that was burning with lust.

"What the fụck is going on here? Charlotte! You bìtch! Is that how horny you are that you would dare to kiss my brother in my own house?" Teddy charged towards Charlotte with anger, having completely forgotten that Jack was arriving today.

Earlier, his father had called him when he was at the neighboring pack, informing him that Jack Hudson had called and told him he was coming home. It had slipped Teddy's mind to inform Charlotte, as he was angry upon hearing that his elder brother would be returning home.

Teddy knew their father loved Jack very much. Although they both looked alike, Jack was their father's favorite and excelled at everything. 

Ten years ago, Jack told their parents that he wanted to travel abroad to further his studies in the human lands. 

Teddy was happy then, seeing it as an opportunity to get rid of Jack. Instead of contemplating killing his elder brother to take over the North field pack.

Teddy was relieved that Jack had chosen to leave the pack on his own, even though their father disagreed, reminding Jack that he had to rule over the pack and fight in the ongoing rogue attacks to protect their people. 

Jack still insisted on traveling out to further his studies in business management. Now, Jack was back to the pack that Teddy had built.
