"How are you, Charlotte?"

"I'm fine, Dad," Charlotte offered a fake smile, not wanting her father to worry about her.

"That's fine. I'm glad to see you awake too. But you should know that you will have to resume your Luna position, and you cannot remain here. Also, you have to continue with your marriage to Alpha Teddy. Since you've been here, he has been the one taking good care of you and doing everything possible until you woke up."

Charlotte frowned as she listened to her father. She knew that she couldn't tell him or her mother about her pregnancy. They had all been praising Teddy, forgetting that it was because of him that she was in the hospital bed in the first place.

"I've heard you, Dad. I will return home and do the needful," Charlotte smiled to put her parents at ease.

"That's fine. I will have to go now. I have some new work to do, as you know, Alpha Teddy gave me a new role in managing the pack's armies and training new troops," Beta Paul said.

    Charlotte looked away from Teddy as he entered the hospital ward to see her. He had finished his work and ensured that things were going smoothly in the pack. Now that he had closed from work, he came directly to the hospital to see her.Lady Harper glanced from Alpha Teddy to Charlotte and immediately greeted him, sensing the tense air between them."Greetings, Alpha. Welcome," Charlotte's mother spoke, and Teddy smiled at her."Well done, Ma. Are you already leaving?" Teddy's eyes wandered from her mother's face to the gifts she held in her hands."Yes, Alpha. I came to see my daughter as the nurses informed us that Charlotte is finally awake and we could come and see her. Thank you for taking care of Charlotte," Lady Harper said, and Teddy smiled."You're welcome. She's my wife, and it's only right that I take good care of her."Charlotte's frown deepened as she looked from her mother to Teddy.She couldn't believe her ears. She rolled her eyes and looked away from her mother, who w

    Teddy swiftly appeared at the door and caught Charlotte just before she could pull the hospital room door open and escape. "Let me go!" Charlotte screamed as Teddy grasped her arm and dragged her back to the bed. "Doctor, get the medicine fast to flush the pup from her womb. Charlotte cannot give birth to the bastard child that she's carrying!" Teddy ordered, and Dr. Mark swiftly left the room to bring the medicine as instructed. He knew he couldn't go against Alpha Teddy's order, so he instructed the hospital pharmacy to prepare the drug alongside an injection. "No, Teddy! You cannot do this to my baby! Let me go!" Charlotte cried out as she struggled to break free from Teddy's grasp. He held her dangerously close to the hospital bed as he awaited Dr. Mark's return. It hadn't dawned on Teddy that Charlotte would conceive with Jack's baby. However, he had to make sure that the baby was flushed out of her system before it could be born. "No, Teddy! Let me go!" Charlotte wailed

    Jack Hudson was on the top floor of his gym house where many she-wolves gathered at the ground floor awaiting him to step out of the venture. Some vying for his attention while a few wanted to exercise and train themselves in case of a rogue attack. "Alpha," Waylon George rushed into the office on the top floor of the four-story building to see Jack. "What's it? What do you want?" Jack asked as he rose from his chair and went to take a drink from his fridge. "I brought some exciting news for you today, Alpha," Waylon said as he stood before Jack, smiling and beaming happily. "What's more exciting than rejecting your mate, Waylon?" Jack mocked his assistant with a smirk. Waylon immediately hushed down. Waylon was wearing a brown shirt and black trousers with black shoes, while Jack wore a black pant and white shirt with some of its buttons undone. "No, Alpha. This has nothing to do with rejecting your mate. Well, it has something to do with your mate. You know my mate, Anita

    "No," Anita shook her head, not wanting to speak. "If I disclose the truth to you, Alpha Teddy will find out, and he threatened to kill us if any of us that reveal what he has done." Anita was shivering seriously as she spoke to Waylon. Waylon sighed and held her shoulders, comforting her. "You shouldn't be scared of Teddy. You can quit working for the hospital and look for another job. But you know that Jack wants you to tell him what the problem is." Anita shook her head again. She wasn't ready to die yet. "No, baby. I cannot disclose this. This is a threat to my life, and you cannot be there to protect me all the time. I promise you it's nothing serious, and you don't have to worry about me." Anita picked up her handkerchief from her handbag and wiped her teary face. Waylon sighed, knowing that he couldn't force her to speak. She was right, and he knew Teddy was a crazy Alpha. "That's fine. I will explain the situation better to Jack tomorrow morning. Wait, let me grab some

    The following day in the Norfield pack, Charlotte awoke in her hospital room, sobbing as she remembered the events of the previous night. "My baby! My baby!" she cried, feeling empty, as if the energy of her strong pup, which she had once felt inside her, had vanished. Hysterical, she scattered everything around her, wailing in agonizing tears. "Kill me, Teddy! You have succeeded in killing my first baby!" The entire pack's hospital was alerted by Charlotte's screams, and Dr. Andrew, who had taken over the morning shift with a brief from Dr. Mark, rushed to her ward. Dr. Andrew quickly injected Charlotte to calm her down. She soon fell asleep once more, and Teddy arrived at the pack's hospital early to see her. The rumor spread like wildfire about Charlotte's early-morning outburst, and most of the young nurses on duty pitied her after learning of her situation. They tried not to look at Alpha Teddy as he arrived at the hospital. "Can't you all greet?" Teddy barked at the

    Anne had just finished bathing in her bathroom when she heard a loud bang on the bathroom door. "Who's there?" she demanded from inside. "It's me, sister," Lora said, as Elena had gone out for her training where she was learning to sew clothes in their pack. "Hmm," Anne growled and pulled the bathroom door open. She knew her mother had gone to work, so what did her younger sister want? "Anne, two guards are standing outside and demanding to see you," Lora disclosed in her soft childish voice, and Anne froze. "Two guards?" she asked her sister, a subtle frown etched on her face as she realized Teddy was the one who sent them. "Yes, sister. They said I should call you out immediately," Lora said. She wore a short blue dress and noticed her elder sister frowning. "What did you do to Alpha Teddy, and why aren't you going to work today?" Lora asked. She was proud that her older sister was working beside Alpha Teddy, and she often bragged about it among her peers. But seeing Anne

    In Ex Alpha Lucas's mansion, Jack Hudson had just woken up in his bedroom. It was a brand new day, yet he awoke with a light headache. He sat up in bed and carefully slid down. Jack groaned, feeling a pang of pain in his heart. He felt guilty knowing he hadn't gone to see Charlotte, despite hearing from Waylon the previous night that Charlotte was now awake. As much as Jack longed to visit Charlotte, he couldn't just go to the hospital to see her, as he had rejected her in the presence of their pack members and vowed never to see her again. He would keep his distance from her even though he was hurting. "Why am I feeling like this?" Jack growled, not understanding his wolf. He had rejected Charlotte, so why was his wolf feeling wounded? Jack finally went into his bathroom to bathe. He had work to do in his office, and he couldn't breach the agreement he had signed to satisfy his hurting wolf. His green eyes glowed red, feeling broken, and he wondered if Charlotte was alright

    Charlotte had just awoken from her sleep after the pack's doctor on duty, Dr. Andrew, had injected her arm to make her sleep. As she sat up in her bed, she was shocked to see the black, wounded beast that entered her ward. She was shivering, thinking he was a rogue, but on a second look at him, she immediately recognized him as Jack. "Jack," Charlotte whispered his name just as Jack neared her bed and walked up to meet her. "Jack," Charlotte burst into tears in Jack's arms as he shapeshifted back to his human form. His injuries had healed despite repeatedly shot by the guards. The bullet fell out from his body like rubber, dropping to the ground. Jack neared Charlotte's bed, rubbing her head as he pulled her into a tight hug while she sobbed in his arms. "It's okay. I'm here now," Jack said, while Charlotte continued to sob. "My baby, Jack. Teddy removed it," Charlotte cried as Teddy entered the hospital ward, his eyes shooting daggers at Jack, but he dared not approach h

    "Yes, Mom. I am fine," Charlotte lied as she saw Jack swiftly flee the room, where he was hiding on the balcony."That's fine. You scared me when I heard you scream. Why did you leave your balcony door open? The rain is about to fall, and the weather is cold," Lady Harper said as she walked to the balcony to shut the door. Charlotte tried hard not to laugh, but she ended up smiling.As Lady Harper locked the door, she didn't sense that Jack or anyone else was there. She turned to look at Charlotte, who was still lying on her bed. Seeing her daughter smile brought her a little relief, as she had almost panicked, thinking Charlotte was crying or in pain."You shouldn't leave your room door open. There are rumored rogue attacks at night, and I don't want anything to happen to you or my grandchild," Lady Harper said as Charlotte smiled at her mother."Nothing will happen to my baby, Mom. You shouldn't worry about him. He's a strong pup," Charlotte said as she caressed her stomach. Her mot

I know you're still angry with me because of what happened to your first daughter, but none of it was my fault," Lady Sandra said, as she looked at Harper, who came downstairs to see her."Do not tell me all that!

She tried not to sob, but tears freely streamed down her cheeks while the officers on duty greeted her as they saw her enter their gate. "Welcome, Luna," the officers on duty welcomed Charlotte, wondering whom she came to see. "Well done. Is Alpha Teddy in here? I came to see him," Charlotte said. It had been a week since Teddy's arrest. Charlotte hadn't come to see Teddy, and she knew that he wouldn't be in good shape. "Please follow me, Luna," one of the three officers led Charlotte to the cell where Teddy was locked up. Teddy was awake, and he sat on the floor in the dirty cell meditating.
