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
### 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
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
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,
Beta Paul drove his car home in silence. As he arrived home, his security man opened the gate for him, while he drove his car into the compound premises and parked it.Charlotte carefully got out of the car and walked up to the house to meet her mother."How did the meeting with Alpha Lucas go? Did he agree to release Teddy?" Lady Harper asked Charlotte, even when she knew that Alpha Lucas wouldn't grant Teddy's release yet."Well, yes, Mom. Alpha Lucas agreed to release Teddy only on the condition that Jack will take over the pack and rule instead of Teddy, and that's where the problem is, because Jack said that he doesn't want to rule the pack," Charlotte told her mother just as she entered the living room and went to sit on one of the chairs there."Mmm. So what do you want to do about it? I don't want you worrying about Teddy or his brother, nor his mate. You should focus on your baby and not on the Alpha's family," Lady Harper expressed her worry as she moved over to sit beside C
The next day, Charlotte woke up and sat on the bed as she prepared to go and see Jack.She got out of bed, went to her bathroom to bathe, and then stepped out to dress.After Charlotte had finished preparing herself, she exited her room wearing a brown maternity dress and black slippers. She carried her black handbag, having her phone and went downstairs to the first floor to find her mother."Good morning, Mom," she greeted upon seeing her mother arranging the living room.Lady Harper smiled as she finished cleaning. She looked at Charlotte's face with a radiant smile and replied, "Morning. Where are you off to?""Mom, I want to have my breakfast, then I will go and see Jack. I want to get it off my shoulders that I have gone to see him," Charlotte said as she moved to the dining table to take her seat, and Lady Harper replied, "Alright."Charlotte went to the kitchen and prepared a bowl of custard for herself. She kept reminiscing about how she was going to discuss the pack affairs
Charlotte smiled at Elijah Samuel as his car stopped beside her."I am going home. I just went to see someone," Charlotte lied. She couldn't tell Elijah Samuel that she went to see Jack, so she kept it brief.Elijah had already seen Charlotte when she stepped out of the gate of Jack's company, but he smiled and said, "Going home? Do you want to come and take a look at my company?"Charlotte was heavily pregnant and did not want the stress of going out."I'm sorry, but I will have to decline your offer. Maybe after I have given birth, I'll be free to hang out properly with you," she offered him an apologetic smile, and he replied, "That will be great. I will be looking forward to becoming your baby's uncle. I am certain he is a boy. Enter the car, let me give you a ride home."Elijah remotely unlocked his car door, and Charlotte got into the front seat. She fastened her seat belt, breathing heavily, and Elijah asked her, "Are you alright?"Charlotte was slightly uncomfortable in her si
Jack was in his office still contemplating visiting his father and accepting the throne when Waylon George rushed in."Alpha, guess what happened!" 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?" Waylon asked, and Jack sighed."I don't know. Should I go and see her? Charlotte already warned me to stay away from her since I don't want to rule the pack," Jack replied with a weak smile.Waylon asked, "So what do you want to do? Are you going to see her or what?"Jack took a deep breath and replied, "I don't know. But I will go see her since the child is mine.""That's more like it. Let me help you get the baby gifts ready," Waylon said before swiftly leaving Jack's office. Jack sat in his office chair, ponderin
Jack drove his car ahead to his mansion and, upon arriving there, it was nighttime. However, he saw his mother get out of her car and come to meet him at the gate."Jack, have you gone to see Charlotte?" Lady Sandra asked, wearing a green dress and black polished slippers as she stood beside the gate."Mom," Jack groaned as he peered at his mother's face."What are you doing here, Mom?" Jack asked, and his mother said, "I came to see you and to remind you that you have to make amends for your mistake and bring Charlotte and my grandson to live with you."Lady Sandra said, while Jack shook his head and replied, "Mom, I have to drive inside first. Then we can discuss this."Jack's mother stepped aside and allowed Jack to drive in.As Jack parked his car, his mother drove her car into the residence and parked it."How do you know my house, Mother?" Jack asked her once she got out of her car and locked it up."You are my son, and I can find you by tracking your scent. That's one of my qua
Jack's brows furrowed as he looked from Charlotte to Elijah. Elijah gasped when he saw Charlotte smack Jack's face, and Beta Paul and his wife were also incredibly shocked. "Charlotte!" they gasped, afraid that Jack might retaliate and hurt her back.Jack looked at Charlotte's face, his green eyes darkening. But instead of getting angry at her, he seemed to relish the feel of her hand that collided with his left cheek with a forceful impact.Jack strode up to meet Charlotte, took her trembling hand, and told her to her face in a deep, sensual voice, "Go on and smack me again. Will that make you happy and fulfill your lustful wish to cheat on me with him?" Jack pointed at Elijah Samuel, who stood there worriedly, knowing he was no match for Jack."Get out of my father's house, Jack. We are not mates, and stop meddling in my..." Before Charlotte could finish the words, Jack grasped her waist closely and sealed his lips on hers.Jack held Charlotte firmly by her waist even as she strugg
"Jack!" Charlotte glared at Jack's face angrily, as she knew that he cares about nothing else in this life except his younger brother, who doesn't like him."Alpha Jack," Beta Paul also looked hesitant, as he doesn't want Charlotte to hand over the little baby to Teddy. What if Teddy killed the little one? Beta Paul, his wife, and Charlotte were scared, and it was so evident on their faces.However, Anne smirked, as she would love to see Teddy snap the little boy's neck and kill him."Do as I say," Jack ordered Charlotte, emitting his alpha aura that commanded submission, and Charlotte glared at him, hating the fact that he was her real mate. Even after countless rejections, the moon goddess still found a way of joining her back with Jack."You don't have to give the child to me if you don't trust me," Teddy said, as he smirked and looked at Charlotte's angry face."Don't counter my word, Teddy. Go on, Charlotte," Jack spoke Charlotte's name in an alluring manner that doesn't give roo
At Beta Paul's residence, Charlotte had returned to her bedroom on the top floor with her baby, and she later came downstairs to thank all the guests that had arrived with numerous gifts to welcome her back.Shortly after, all the guests left, and Charlotte was now at home with her mother and sister. As they instructed the gatekeeper to accept all the remaining gifts from the guests and not let anyone into the mansion.Meanwhile, in the living room, Charlotte, who had changed into a simple pink dress and black slippers, thanked her younger sister once more for the surprised homecoming party."Thank you, Sofia. I wasn't expecting all that love and support on returning back home. It actually warmed my heart," Charlotte spoke with a smile as she moved to hug her younger sister once more.Sofia smiled and replied, "You're welcome, big sister. I have to go home now, alright. We will get to chat later, and take good care of Godson."Sofia giggled, and Charlotte grinned and told her with a w
After Suzan left his residence in her red car, Jack moved away from the window and tossed the gift that Suzan had given him on the couch.He went to the dining table to have his breakfast. His new mansion had no servant yet, as he did his house chores by himself.Jack's phone rang on the table, and he picked it up and frowned before answering it. He saw that it was a call from his mother.Jack cleared his throat, already knowing that his mother would ask him why he doesn't want to marry Charlotte again.Taking his seat back on one of the dining chairs, Jack answered his mother's call."Hello, Mom," he said, and his mother's soft voice filled his eardrums as she shouted at him, "Jack, didn't you know that you should have been the one in the hospital insisting on taking Charlotte home to her father's house? How can't you be serious about winning Charlotte back, even as she has a child for you?""Mom," Jack rolled his eyes and said, "I cannot force Charlotte to be with me, and she said s
At the pack's hospital grounds, many pack members were present, standing outside with their flowers and numerous gifts as they sang happily for Charlotte. "Congratulations, Luna!" They squealed. Charlotte was stunned. She waved to them, knowing that the pack members were only showing their love and support for her. The air of the hospital grounds was filled with love and jubilation as the pack members sang, "Congratulations, Luna Charlotte. We are so happy for you. Welcome, baby, alpha baby." Charlotte was frustrated, but she managed a smile and walked ahead to her mother's car and got in. Thankfully, there were pack warriors present to prevent the happy members from rushing over to meet Charlotte and her baby. The pack members were told to deliver their gifts to Beta Paul's residence. Charlotte exhaled heavily once she shut the back door of her mother's car. She sat there with her baby in her arms, and the guards cleared the pack members away that had filled the street to make
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. She was aware that she would be going home as she had been discharged from the hospital.As she was no longer married to Teddy, Charlotte knew that she was going home to her father's house.Although it wasn't normal for a woman to be in her father's house with a child like a single mother, Charlotte knew that no one in their pack would dare to talk dow
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
