CHAPTER 5

last update Last Updated: 2024-07-07 03:20:41

"STOP IT! Stop!" Charlotte rushed to separate the two men. And though she was weak and no match to withstand any of their strength, Jack obeyed Charlotte's command as he beat his younger brother to stupor, not minding that he was in Teddy's house and also, Teddy was the ruling Alpha of the Norfield Pack.

"Charlotte..." Jack reached 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, and Teddy moved his hands away from Charlotte's touch like it burnt.

Anne quickly rushed to help Teddy stand up on his feet. At the speed that Jack had used and attacked Teddy, both Anne and Charlotte were shocked. It was as if Jack had disappeared from where he was standing, and the next minute, he was standing in front of Teddy, and he attacked Teddy, not giving him the chance to retaliate.

Charlotte saw how Teddy pushed her hands away from helping him stand up, but he accepted Anne's help. However, as Teddy stood up, staggering as the alcohol he had drunk also made him weak, he stared at his elder brother angrily and barked, "Get out of my house, Jack! You're not welcomed here anymore. You arrive at my home, and the best you could do is to kiss my wife and attack me!"

Teddy moved his hands away from Anne too and he told them all, "Get out! All of you! I don't want to see any of you here, except Charlotte. Leave now!"

Jack cleaned his lips, as he hadn't expected the event to turn out like that. He has arrived home not long ago, as the flight journey from the human's city to their werewolf land took several hours before he arrived. And he had arrived home, wanting to see his only brother who was now ruling the pack in his absence. 

Jack hadn't intended to fight with Teddy. He came to greet his brother and the wife. Now, he had kissed his brother's wife and fought with Teddy too. His wolf had pushed him to attack his brother because he saw how hurt Charlotte looked.

Before Jack could speak, Anne said, "Babe, are you sending me away?"

Jack was stunned to hear Anne refer to Teddy as "babe". Teddy didn't reply to Anne; instead, he went back into the room door that he had walked out from.

Anne looked back at Charlotte angrily, and she didn't want to leave the mansion at that late hour. There were rogue attacks at midnight, and Anne was a Beta, not strong enough to face the rogues.

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 reply to Anne, and then, 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 was left alone with Jack, and she 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 to Charlotte, as he tried to move closer to her and touch her.

Charlotte knew Jack was her real mate. But he was not around for ten 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, as it's not your fault. If I hadn't switched off the light, then we wouldn't have kissed each other, so I'm to be blamed too," Charlotte said, as she looked downward, not wanting to meet Jack's gaze on her.

Jack licked his lips again. He wasn't satisfied with the kiss as Charlotte's lips tasted so soft and sweet in his mouth. 

He wanted more kisses, 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 he had just returned home, and he couldn't say all that to her now.

"It's alright. It's already late, and I have to allow you two to sort yourselves out. It had been long since I left this pack, and I don't know what had been going on. What had changed in my absence, but now that I'm back home, I hope I will be able to assist in the best possible way that I can. And if you're in need of my help, feel free to reach out to me, okay?" Jack said as he moved closer to touch Charlotte again, but she moved away from him.

"It's alright, I will keep that in mind. It's already very late now. Why don't you go downstairs and stay in the guest room until tomorrow morning, then you can return home," Charlotte offered, as she avoided meeting Jack's face.

"Okay, that sounds nice, but you heard my brother dismiss me. He said I'm not welcomed here, and it's only right that I obey his command first, 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 morning to apologize to him again. Take care of yourself," Jack turned to leave, and Charlotte then looked up at him.

Charlotte wanted to chase after Jack, to go with him and leave Teddy for good. But Teddy was still the Alpha of the pack, and disobeying Teddy would warrant her to be punished in front of their pack members, and she didn't want that. 

Also, she has cheated on him, by kissing his older brother, and not a total stranger. 

Charlotte was sure Teddy would kill her, but she couldn't just leave the mansion and return home to her father's house. It was late, seeing 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. She knocked and finally unlocked the door as she entered the room to meet Teddy.

Teddy was standing there in the room, by the window, boiling with rage as he remembered how Jack had attacked him. Jack was fast, his movements were precise, and Jack was very good with combat, before he left the pack.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to kiss your elder brother like that," Charlotte said as she stood motionless in the bedroom, just beside the door, while Teddy was gazing out the window and he saw that Jack had left his mansion. As he saw Jack walk away.

"Hmm..." Teddy's anger boiled. Not only did he detest Jack, he didn't like Charlotte too, but seeing the way Jack and Charlotte had kissed so intensely, Teddy knew that Jack didn't lie to him when he said he didn't know it was Charlotte. And he perceived her as his real mate.

"Did you perceive him as your mate? Is Jack Hudson, my elder brother, your true mate?" Teddy finally asked the troubling questions that had been raging in his heart, as he turned to look at Charlotte.

Charlotte looked hurt, the recent flogging that she had received from Teddy downstairs were partially visible on her body as she was dark-skinned.

 Tonight, Charlotte wore a pink dress, her body was revealing. Her breasts, which were big and fuller than Anne's, were visible, and her hips, which were curvy too, were on full display in the semi-nude pink nightdress that she wore.

Teddy's green eyes roamed over Charlotte's body, from her chest, and down to her curvy waist, and up to her face again. 

For the first time in their four years of marriage, Teddy became aroused by looking at this beautiful brown-skinned woman.

    Charlotte didn't know what to say to Teddy. Truly, Jack was her mate. She perceived him as her real mate the moment she inhaled that sweet, smoky scent that was like coffee. She wanted to drink him and have him náked in her arms, but he was her husband's elder brother. She couldn't boldly acknowledge the truth to Teddy's view. Charlotte was afraid of Teddy's reaction. He was her husband for four years, and he would beat her mercilessly if she dares to tell him the truth - that Jack Hudson was her real mate.While Charlotte was still in her ocean of thoughts, contemplating on what to tell Teddy, Teddy moved away from the room window and neared Charlotte."Answer me! Is my brother, Jack Hudson, your real mate? Did you feel the mating bond with him that you had to grip him closely and kiss him too?" Teddy demanded as he finally approached Charlotte, startling her out of her ocean of wild thoughts."No..." Charlotte responded in a shaking voice, but Teddy didn't believe her."What do you

    With a heart full of ego, instead of Teddy apologizing to his wife, Charlotte, and pleading for her forgiveness for the years that he had maltreated her and cheated on her with Anne Robert. He trailed his finger on the card and asked her, "You set all these up? Why didn't you say it when you saw me arrive with Anne?"How could Charlotte say to him that it was their anniversary night when he had stared at her with rage, not only that he flogged her mercilessly? How could she have told him that it was her 22nd birthday and also their 4th wedding anniversary night?Charlotte didn't reply, and that made Teddy annoyed, but he knew the answer already was because he had arrived home with Anne Robert in his arms.Anne had followed him to the neighboring pack function, and they arrived at the Norfield Pack territory late, so he had to take Anne home with him to rest, before she would return to her father's house the following day.Teddy knew that he was cheating on Charlotte with Anne, as Anne

    "What??" Anne screamed, and Charlotte carefully stood up to bolt out of the mansion. She cannot bear any pups for Teddy. For four years, he had lied to his family that she was barren, and he had been trying hard to make her conceive for him, whereas he didn't try any hard."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 and she 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.Ch

    Charlotte sat on one of the couches in the parlor, admiring the small house. Not until Jack walked out of his bathroom with only a white towel wrapped around his waist.Jack was holding another short towel in his right hand, which he ran on his short, black, wavy hair on his head."Jack, are you not sure that I should start going back home now to my parents' house? I'm sure that the guards searching for me would have gone farther away or gone back to report to Teddy that they couldn't find me," Charlotte said, as she quickly looked away from Jack's masculine, dark chest.The white towel was wrapped only around Jack's waist, and Charlotte could feel her heart palpitations, beating so loudly in her chest.Jack didn't respond to Charlotte, as he stood in front of his room door, admiring her. It was late night, past 1 am in the morning, and here he was with Charlotte, discussing like it was daybreak already."Why do you want to go back home?

    Teddy moved Anne away from his arms as she prevented him from going after Charlotte. "Anne, you have to try and understand with me. If I allow Charlotte to go, especially now that she perceived 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 said that, and Anne burst into tears in his arms."No, Teddy. I cannot withstand the pain. Please," Anne begged, and Teddy remained silent for a while, not until one of the guards rushed in."Alpha! Sorry to disturb you this night, but Luna Charlotte has left this residence while our men couldn't seem to find her. Also, there are reports of some suspected rogues captured at the pack's border," the senior guard relayed, and Teddy feels all the hair on his body stand up in fret."Go now! Find Charlotte and ensure that you bring her back. Failure to do that, you all shall be punished!" Teddy ordered, and the guard replied, "Understood, Alpha."

    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

    Charlotte calmed down and slowly petted her baby to stop crying. The night had fallen. A nurse arrived to check on her and her baby, and after the nurse left, Charlotte went to put her baby in his cot, thinking of reporting Jack to his father to sign an agreement to keep his distance away from her.After admiring her sleeping baby—his brown skin like that of a newborn and his black curly hair, as he had green eyes too, like Jack—Charlotte moved back to her own hospital bed and sat on it.She went to use the bathroom and returned to her bed to sleep.****The next morning, Charlotte awoke early on her hospital bed, and it was still 7 am.

    Earlier, Jack was driving home when he recalled that Elijah was the reason he and Charlotte had accepted their rejection. Fueled by anger, Jack drove straight to Elijah's company to confront him."How dare you come between me and my woman?" Jack grasped Elijah by his shirt, not giving him a chance to reply."Alpha," all the men in the pack wanted to intervene to separate the two, but they knew that Jack was ruthless and the Alpha in command, even if he hadn’t formally accepted the throne yet."I didn’t come between you and your woman. Don’t pour your frustrations on me. You rejected Charlotte, remember? If I hadn’t taken her to the hospital, would you have cared that she was walking under the hot sun, pregnant with your child?""Shut up!" Jack smacked Elijah hard in the face, causing his nose to crack."Say any more nonsense about Charlotte, and I will kill you. If you value yourself, stay away from her!" Jack warned Elijah, not caring about the other men looking on. He turned and go

    "Hmm." Jack sighed as he stood there watching Charlotte carefully carry their baby. She sat on the bed and resumed breastfeeding the child."I know you’re angry with me, Charlotte, but it's not like I don’t care about you," Jack said as he moved closer to the bed."You don't need to act like you care. Just keep the flowers and leave. My baby and I will be fine," Charlotte replied nonchalantly. Jack asked her, "Why? Is it because of Elijah? Are you interested in him now?"Seeing the warm smile that graced Charlotte's lips annoyed Jack, but he controlled his rage as he heard her respond, "Whatever business I have with Elijah shouldn’t be your concern. Just leave me alone and focus on your own life. Your father is the pack alpha, and your brother has been released, so you are free to move on. Oh! I almost forgot about your rejection the last time. I've thought about it, and I’ve decided to accept it."Charlotte felt a pang of pain in her heart, as if it were about to split in two, but sh

    Charlotte woke up in the morning to the sound of her mother's arrival."Good morning, Mom," Charlotte greeted as she carefully rose from the bed. She looked over to her mother, who had gone to the baby cot to check on Godson."Good morning, Charlotte. How was your night?" Lady Harper asked after admiring Godson."It was fine, Mother. How was yours? Where is Dad?" Charlotte replied, to which her mother responded, "He went to work. You know the rogues were planning to relaunch an attack on one of our borders after seeing that Jack didn’t want to rule and Teddy has been locked up. So he went to inspect the borders.""Hmmm. I hope there won’t be any losses?" Charlotte asked worriedly as her mother moved closer to her bed."No, everything will be fine," Lady Harper smiled and added, "You will be returning home with me tomorrow, so get as much rest as you want.""Alright, Mom. How about Teddy? Did you see him? I heard Alpha Lucas ordered Teddy to be released.""No, I didn’t go to the pack s

    Jack arrived at his father's house, drove his car onto the premises, and parked it."Dad," Jack called as he saw his father and Beta Paul at the front of the house."Jack, what are you doing here? I thought you were with Charlotte at the hospital and with my new grandchild," Alpha Lucas said with a smile while Jack frowned."Dad, we need to discuss what's going on. Have you granted Teddy's release from the pack's station yet?" Jack asked as he approached his father, who looked very happy."Yes. I don't want anything to kill my joy in welcoming my new grandchild," Alpha Lucas replied, and Jack sighed."Alright. So how about the alpha kingship? Are you going to give it to Teddy, or must I still sign it?" Jack stood in front of his father, who frowned and replied, "You don't want to rule the pack, and I cannot give it to Teddy, so I will remain the ruler until I kick the bucket. Are you satisfied with that?"Jack took a deep breath and replied, "Yes.""Good. You can go home. I don't have

    After Teddy finished having his bath and changing into comfortable clothes in Caleb's room, Caleb offered him a cutter to shave off his long beard so that he wouldn't scare Anne away. Teddy stepped out of the bathroom looking much better than when he had first gotten out of prison.Teddy picked up the black shorts and trousers Caleb had put on the bed for him to wear. After putting on the white top and black trousers, he looked at his reflection in the mirror and was back to his normal appearance, thanks to Caleb.Once Teddy was dressed, he came out of Caleb's room and met Caleb in the living room."Alpha, do you care to join us for lunch?" Caleb asked Teddy, although he knew Teddy didn't want to waste much time.Teddy was hungry since he hadn't been fed well at the pack's station. Although he was an alpha, he didn't lose weight or become lean."Caleb, I don't want to hear any stories about anything happening to Anne. So I want to see her before anything else," Teddy said, and Caleb a

    Jack looked at the baby's face as Charlotte pulled her breast away from the baby's small mouth. The baby resembled him so much, and Jack said, "You have my child, so why are you acting like you don't know that you have something that belongs to me?""My child is not yours," Charlotte cut him off, glaring at him. "Go and look for your mate elsewhere to give you a child. My son isn't yours, nor do I want you anywhere close to him."Jack frowned but didn't say anything."He's mine, and I am not here to argue with you. I only came here because of my child. What do you plan to name him?"

Waylon exclaimed, and Jack looked at him, asking, "What's wrong?""Alpha, my girlfriend just called and told me that Charlotte has welcomed a baby boy, and your parents are at the pack hospital to see her," Waylon said excitedly while Jack looked stunned by the news."Aren't you going to the pack hospital to see Charlotte too?"
