CHAPTER 5
Last Updated:
2024-11-21 16:55:01"STOP IT! Stop!" Charlotte rushed to separate the two men. Though she was weak and had no chance of withstanding either of their strength, Jack obeyed Charlotte's command, even as he continued to beat Teddy to a stupor, not minding that he was in Teddy's house and that Teddy was the ruling Alpha of the Norfield Packs.
"Charlotte..." Jack reached out to touch her, but Charlotte moved away from him and rushed to meet Teddy.
"Are you alright?" Charlotte asked Teddy as she crouched in front of him, but Teddy moved his hands away from her touch.
Anne quickly rushed to help Teddy stand up. The speed with which Jack had attacked Teddy shocked both Anne and Charlotte. It was as if Jack had disappeared from his previous position and, in the next moment, was standing in front of Teddy, having dealt him a swift blow without giving Teddy a chance to retaliate.
Charlotte noticed how Teddy pushed her hands away when she tried to help him, but he accepted Anne's assistance. However, as Teddy stood up, staggering from the alcohol he had consumed, he glared at Jack and barked, "Get out of my house! You're no longer welcome here. You arrive at my home, and the best you can do is kiss my wife and attack me!"
Teddy pushed Anne away, and he told them all, "Get out! I don't want to see any of you here except Charlotte. Leave!"
Jack wiped his lips as he hadn’t expected the events to unfold like this. He had arrived home not long ago, as the flight from the human city to their werewolf land took several hours. He had come to see his younger brother, who was now ruling the pack in his absence. Jack hadn't intended to fight with Teddy; he simply wanted to greet him and his wife. Now, he had kissed his brother's wife and fought with Teddy. His wolf had pushed him to attack because he saw how hurt Charlotte looked.
Before Jack could speak, Anne said, "Babe, are you sending me away too?"
Jack was stunned to hear Anne refer to Teddy as "babe." Teddy didn’t reply; instead, he went back into the room from which he had just walked out.
Anne glared at Charlotte, not wanting to leave the mansion at that late hour. There were rogue attacks happening at midnight, and as a Beta, Anne was not strong enough to face them.
She looked at Charlotte angrily and spat, "You see what you have caused, you shameless woman."
Anne quickly looked away from Jack, who glared at her for insulting Charlotte, who was still standing there speechless. Charlotte didn’t respond, and Anne went downstairs to ask the maids to show her to the guest room, as she couldn’t leave the house at that time. Besides, she was Teddy's real mate, and he wouldn’t just send her away.
After Anne left the top floor, Charlotte found herself alone with Jack and didn’t want to look at her brother-in-law's face.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean for any of that to happen," Jack apologized, trying to move closer to Charlotte.
Charlotte knew Jack was her mate, but he had been absent for years. He had grown more handsome, charming, and masculine. He was also stronger than Teddy, who was the most feared Alpha in their pack.
"It's okay. You don't have to apologize; it's not your fault. If I hadn't switched off the light, we wouldn't have kissed each other, so I’m to blame too," Charlotte said, looking downward, not wanting to meet Jack's gaze.
Jack licked his lips again. He wasn’t satisfied with the kiss; Charlotte's lips had tasted so soft and sweet. He wanted more, but now he couldn’t take her with him, as she was still married to his younger brother. Jack had so much to say to Charlotte, but as he had just returned home, he couldn’t say it all now.
"It's alright. It's already late, and I have to allow you two to sort things out. It has been a long time since I left this pack, and I don't know what has changed in my absence. Now that I’m back, I hope I can assist in the best way possible. If you need my help, feel free to reach out to me, okay?" Jack said as he moved closer to touch Charlotte again, but she stepped back.
"Okay, I’ll keep that in mind. It's already very late now. Why not go downstairs and stay in the guest room until tomorrow morning? Then you can return home," Charlotte suggested, still avoiding Jack's gaze.
"Okay, that sounds nice, but you heard my brother dismiss me. He said I'm not welcome here, and it’s only right that I obey his command, being the Alpha of our pack. I have to head home now. It's fine; I can protect myself, but I will be here tomorrow to apologize to him again. Take care of yourself," Jack replied as he turned to leave, and Charlotte finally looked up at him.
Charlotte wanted to chase after Jack, to go with him and leave Teddy behind. But Teddy was still the Alpha of the Norfield Packs, and disobeying him would mean punishment in front of their pack members, which she didn’t want. Also, she had cheated on him by kissing his brother, not a total stranger. Charlotte feared that Teddy would kill her, but she couldn't just leave the mansion and return to her father's house. It was late; the time was already 12:45 AM. Charlotte sighed and walked back to the master bedroom that Teddy had entered.
She took a deep breath as she stood in front of the door, knocked, and finally unlocked it as she entered the room.
Teddy was standing there by the room window, boiling with rage as he recalled how Jack had attacked him. Jack was fast, his movements precise; he had always excelled in combat before he left the Norfield Packs.
"I'm sorry; I didn't mean to kiss your elder brother," Charlotte said, standing motionless just beside the doorway while Teddy gazed out the window, noticing that Jack had left.
“Hmph...” Teddy's anger boiled. Not only did he detest Jack, but he also didn’t like Charlotte. Yet seeing the way Jack and Charlotte had kissed so intensely, Teddy knew that Jack hadn’t lied when he said he didn’t know who she was. He perceived her as his mate.
"Did you perceive him as your mate? Is Jack Hudson, my elder brother, your mate?" Teddy finally asked the troubling question that raged in his heart as he turned to face Charlotte.
Charlotte looked hurt; the recent marks from the flogging he had given her downstairs were partially visible on her dark skin. Today, Charlotte wore a pink dress that clung to her body, revealing her frame. Her breasts, which were fuller than Anne's, were noticeable, and her curvy hips were accentuated in the semi-nude pink nightdress.
Teddy's eyes flickered to Charlotte's chest, down to her sexy curvy waist, and then back to her face. For the first time in their four years of marriage, Teddy was aroused by the sight of her.

Charlotte didn't know what to say to Teddy.Truly, Jack was her mate. She perceived him as her mate the moment she inhaled the smoky scent that was reminiscent of coffee. She wanted to drink him in and have him with her, but he was her husband's elder brother. She couldn’t boldly acknowledge the truth to Teddy; she was afraid of his 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 mate.While Charlotte was still lost in her thoughts, contemplating what to say to Teddy, he moved away from the window and approached her. "Answer me! Is my brother, Jack Hudson, your mate? Did you feel the mating bond with him that made you grip him closely and kiss him?" Teddy demanded, startling Charlotte out of her ocean of wild thoughts."No..." Charlotte responded in a shaking voice, but Teddy didn’t believe her."What do you mean by 'no'? And why is your voice shaking? Do you think you can lie to me? You

With a heart full of ego, Teddy chose not to apologize to his wife, Charlotte, or plead for her forgiveness for the years he had maltreated her and cheated on her with Anne Robert. Instead, he trailed his finger over the card and asked her, "You set all this up? Why didn’t you say anything when you saw me arrive with Anne?"How could she tell him that it was their anniversary night when he had stared at her with rage and mercilessly flogged her? How could she have told him that it was her 22nd birthday and also their wedding anniversary night?Charlotte didn’t reply, which annoyed Teddy. However, he already knew the answer: he had come home with Anne Robert in his arms.Anne had followed him to the neighboring pack function, and they arrived at the Norfield pack gate late, so 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 was younger. He liked h

"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 had not tried hard to make 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 is not 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 her! 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, then bolted out of the house and 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.She ran back to her father's mansion

Charlotte sat on one of the couches in the parlor, admiring the small house. Not until Jack walked out of his room with only a white towel wrapped around his waist did she realize how close they were. Jack was holding another small towel in his right hand, which he ran through his short, black wavy hair."Jack, are you sure I should start going back home to my parents’ house? I'm sure the guards searching for me have gone farther away or gone back to report to Teddy that they couldn't find me," Charlotte said, quickly looking away from Jack's masculine dark chest.The white towel wrapped only around Jack's waist made Charlotte feel her heart palpitate, beating loudly in her chest.Jack didn’t respond to Charlotte as he stood in front of his room door, admiring her. It was late at night—past 1 a.m.—and here he was with Charlotte, discussing as if it were already daybreak."Why do you want to go back home, knowing that your parents do not have a say in the Alpha's family?" Jack questione

At Teddy's mansion: Teddy moved Anne away from his arms as she tried to prevent him from going after Charlotte. "Anne, you have to try to understand. If I allow Charlotte to go, especially now that she perceives Jack as her mate, it would put me at greater risk and enable Jack to take the pack away from me, which I cannot allow to happen." Teddy's eyes darkened as he spoke, and Anne burst into tears in his arms."No, Teddy. I cannot withstand the pain. Please," Anne begged, but Teddy remained silent for a moment until one of the guards rushed in."Alpha! Sorry to disturb you tonight, but Luna Charlotte has left this residence, and our men couldn't seem to find her. Also, there are reports of some suspected rogues spotted near the pack's border," the guard relayed. Teddy felt all the hair on his body stand up in dread."Go now! Find her and ensure that you bring her back. Failure to do so will result in punishment!" Teddy ordered, and the guard replied, "Understood, Alpha."The head g

Charlotte was eager to have Jack in her embrace. She had dreamt of this day, the day she would finally consummate her marriage. However, she was consummating it tonight with her husband's brother.What would her pack members think of her? Charlotte didn't care. There had been rumors about her being barren, and she thought this was the only way to prove to her pack members that she wasn't barren but had been deprived of her marital rights. She endured Teddy's torture daily, hoping and yearning for his love, believing that he would one day change. But with each passing day and night, Teddy only became worse."Are you ready?" Jack's hoarse voice questioned Charlotte as he prepared himself to join her in intimacy.With her eyes closed, Charlotte replied, "Yes, mate."Jack smiled, although a part of him wanted to withdraw. "No, this is not right," that part of him said. But Jack's wolf urged him on, saying it was right. "Let's claim our mate."With a gentle push, Jack thrust into Charlotte'

"What's wrong with you?" Jack inquired. Never in his life did he think he would have to comfort a woman one day."Stay away from me. You lied to me last night just to mate with me. How am I sure that you're really my mate?" Charlotte accused Jack, her blue eyes reddened with tears.Jack's eyes darkened with desire, although he frowned. How could he explain to the crying woman that he wanted to sink his fangs into her neck and leave his marks on her?"Is that why you're crying? If anyone hears your voice now, they would think I'm a wife-beater like my brother. Shush, the guards are still searching for you," Jack said, and Charlotte calmed down.It was already morning, and the sun was high in the sky. Charlotte knew that Teddy would soon tear down the whole pack in search of her. If there was one thing she was sure about Teddy, it was the fact that he cared for her in public and wouldn't want the other pack members to see that she was sad."Why shouldn't I cry? Aside from the fact that I

In the bathroom, Charlotte stared at her reflection. She couldn't believe that she had mated with her brother-in-law. "Moon goddess, please forgive me," Charlotte said. As the Luna of the Norfield pack, it was quite an embarrassment for her to be labeled as an adulterer and a backstabber to her husband. Charlotte knew that Teddy wanted to get rid of her, but she never knew the actual reason before. Now she knows.Standing in front of the mirror in the small bathroom, Charlotte stared at her arms where Teddy Hudson had flogged her the previous night. She was supposed to curse him, but she didn't. She wasn't feeling the pain, and maybe that was because she had made up her mind to move on.Looking away from the mirror, Charlotte turned the faucet to allow water to flow. She decided to bathe, so she searched the bathroom for any available sponge and soap and decided to take a quick bath.Jack stepped into the parlor and knew that Teddy might soon arrive, as he knew Lawrence didn't trust hi

"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

The security men wore black uniforms and greeted her father, "Good afternoon, sir.""Welcome. How can I help you both?" Mr. Henry asked. He wore a white shirt, black trousers, and black shoes, looking at the two guards with concern.Lady Linda stepped out of the house, having taken leave from the pack hospital, wondering what the officers wanted."Chief, we have been sent here to arrest your daughter and bring her to the station immediately by order of Luna Sandra.

"What's going on, Harper? Why do you despise to see me now? 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! My daughter is no longer your son's wife, and you cannot be referring to Charlotte as your daughter-in-law. Here's the agreement. Charlotte has signed her own copy, so you should know that she doesn't want to have anything to do with you or your family again!" Lady Harper said, her eyes shooting daggers at Lady Sandra.Lady Sandra sighed and accepted the copy. "I understand how you're feeling, my friend, but you should know that I will always see Charlotte as my daughter-in-law. I wasn't glad with how Teddy treated her. I tried talking to him, but he was so stubborn. Please, let me see Charlotte," Lady Sandra begged, but Lady Harper shook her head firmly."No way! My daughter is no longer your daughter-in-law. From

Charlotte awoke in her room feeling better. She sat on her bed and thought about what had happened the previous day.She wondered if she would accompany her father to the Alpha's palace and see Alpha Lucas.Charlotte got out of her bed and went into her bathroom to have her bath. She stared at her reflection, feeling sad that Jack didn't want to have anything to do with her.She braced herself, had her bath, and walked out of her bathroom to dress up.She heard the doorbell sound. Looking backward, Charlotte saw her mother walk into her room and carrying a tray of teacup.The hot tea was removing steam."Good morning, mother," Charlotte greeted as she moved over to the small dining table in her room to sit. She carefully collected the tray from her mother's hands and set it on the table."Morning, Charlotte, how was your night?" Lady Harper inquired. She donned a blue nightdress and sat across from Charlotte at the small dining table.The table had only two chairs. Charlotte occupied

At Alpha Lucas's mansion, it was past 9 p.m. when Beta Paul arrived and shifted back to human form. He adjusted his clothes and went into the premises to see Alpha Lucas.Alpha Lucas, who had been busy preparing for Susan's wedding, was surprised to see Beta Paul arrive."Good evening, Alpha," Beta Paul greeted him, noting it hadn't been long since he left Alpha Lucas's company and went home, where he saw Charlotte on the way."Welcome, Beta Paul. Why are you here at this time? I didn't send for you," Alpha Lucas said as he walked down from the facade to meet Beta Paul. They stood in the vast yard conversing."I know, Alpha." Beta Paul bowed to Alpha Lucas as he considered him like an older brother."Then what's the matter? I can sense something is troubling your wolf," Alpha Lucas pressed, looking at Beta Paul's face."You're right, Alpha. It's my daughter Charlotte. I couldn't wait until tomorrow morning to report the matter to you. Charlotte is still, by chance, pregnant with Jack

As Beta Paul arrived home, he parked his black car in the driveway and looked at Charlotte's face.She seemed lost in thought, and Beta Paul cleared his throat and spoke to her, "We are at home, Charlotte."Charlotte snapped out of her trance and replied, "Thank you, Daddy. Do you still want to report the matter to Alpha Lucas tomorrow? Teddy insisted that I let his father know about my pregnancy and for him to be released.""Do not worry about that, I will speak to Alpha Lucas," Beta Paul said before he unlocked the door and Charlotte got out of the car.Her mother pulled the house door open and stepped outside to welcome them into the house.The weather turned dark, and it began to rain heavily."Charlotte, how did the clinic visit go? You took so long to arrive home, and I was almost becoming worried about you," Lady Harper inquired once they all sat around the golden dining table to have their dinner.It was getting late, and Charlotte sighed, "Mom, I went to see Alpha Teddy.""Wh

Charlotte arrived at the pack's station, and her eyes reddened with tears as she recalled Jack telling her that he didn't want her. 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. He perceived Charlotte's scent from afar and knew that she was around. He heard the sounds of multiple footsteps approaching the cell where he was locked up like a criminal. His father refused to grant him bail or feed him. So far, Beta Caleb Brown was

When Charlotte arrived at Dr. Mark's room, she smiled at him, seeing him seated on the hospital bed with his left arm bandaged and hung around his neck.Charlotte recalled that she had bitten him when she thought he wanted to harm her unborn baby, but he was only doing that based on Teddy's instructions."Luna Charlotte, welcome," Dr. Mark looked excited to see Charlotte looking better, as she had been through hell the last time he saw her."Thank you," Charlotte replied as she carefully closed the door and walked up to the hospital bed to see Dr. Mark.A nurse arrived to dress his wound. Charlotte smiled at him and asked the nurse, "Can you give us some privacy? I want to discuss something with Dr. Mark for a moment.""Okay, Luna," the nurse didn't argue and left the room."How are you doing now, Dr. Mark? I am so sorry about what happened the last time between us," Charlotte apologized, feeling guilty that it was because of her that Dr. Mark was in a critical state."It's alright, Lu
