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
"I do not want you two to fight because of me," Charlotte said, standing up from the couch and looking at Jack's handsome face."We won't fight, unless Teddy wants us to. Remember, I'm of equal strength; he stole the Alpha's kingship from me, but he's no match for me, including all his warriors." Jack flexed his muscular arms, and Charlotte blushed.Charlotte turned to look away from Jack. She wore her pink dress, and her cleavage was on full display, while Jack was wearing just his black shorts and a white tank top. He escorted Charlotte back to the parlor for her to leave, since she wanted to go home."I will miss you and come to check on you at home. Do you have your phone? Let me know so we can keep in touch if anything goes wrong. I will be heading back home to my father's house, since he summoned me. I am sure that Teddy has gone there to report me," Jack said, a playful smirk curving up his lips."Okay, Jack. Please don't fight with Teddy. I don't want you two to harm each other
"I'm going to kill you, Jack! How dare you mate with my wife, the Luna of this pack?" Teddy roared, his anger evident."You cannot do anything to me, Teddy. Go away!" Jack roared, his voice causing all the guards to jump back in fear. Even Teddy was startled by his elder brother's strength. Walking back to his sleek black car in defeat, Teddy shouted at his guards, "Arrest him immediately and take him to the pack's police station!"The guards were afraid, standing there staring from Jack to Teddy.Jack stood with narrowed eyes at the doorway and watched his younger brother get into his car and zoom off angrily.The head of the guards, Lawrence, breathed out in relief and said, "You have to report to the pack's station, Alpha, to avoid the authorities from taking matters into their own hands.""Hmm, that's fine. You can leave," Jack dismissed Lawrence, who was standing there worriedly with two other guards."What are we going to do now?" Charlotte finally asked Jack, breaking his train
Beta Paul Mateo couldn't say anything. As they tried to comfort Charlotte, they heard a knock on the door. A security guard rushed in and said, "Sorry to bother you, Beta, but the Alpha's guards are here!""Why?" Beta Paul demanded, his wife looking worried, while Charlotte already knew why they were present. The guard didn't know how to respond. Beta Paul walked out to see Lawrence and two other uniformed guards in black standing there. They were the pack's security men, and they were carrying guns."Greetings, Beta Paul Mateo. We received information from Alpha Teddy to have your daughter arrested," Lawrence disclosed. When he returned to Alpha Teddy's mansion shortly after escorting Jack to the pack's station where criminals and other offenders were held, Teddy had phoned him. Just before Lawrence could enter, Teddy told him to have Charlotte arrested as well, as he was sure she might have gone home to her parents' house."I want both Jack and Charlotte to be locked up in two differ
Charlotte, looking haggard, sat in the rear seat of the black car, watching the road as Lawrence drove to the pack's station. It was only a few meters away from her father's house. As she sat in the back of the car, two trained guards sat beside her to prevent her from escaping.Charlotte sighed, wondering what her fate would be. She hadn't expected her life to turn out like this. She had been gingerly preparing for her fourth wedding anniversary with Teddy Hudson and hadn't anticipated this twist of fate. As the black car arrived at the pack's station, there was a middle-aged man in charge of controlling the activities of the station, more like the supreme leader there."Welcome, Lawrence," the head of the police station greeted Lawrence as he got out of the car."The pack's Luna, welcome, Luna Charlotte," the head warrior, Ezra Daniels, immediately bowed to Charlotte, until Lawrence said, "Alpha Teddy ordered for Luna Charlotte to be locked up too, but in a different cell from the re
"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
Alpha Lucas received a phone call earlier informing him that his wife had gone to the pack station to see Teddy. Although he knew that Jack had shown less interest in ruling the pack, he was still concerned.Ezra filled him in on the case regarding Teddy, and Alpha Lucas felt relieved when he heard that Teddy had signed the agreement and finally let go of Charlotte."Finally," he said. Just then, he heard the sound of his wife's car pulling up in the driveway.He was in his home office going through some reports, so he wrapped up his work and stepped out to welcome his wife.Susan wasn't at home as she had gone to her mate's house to get to know him better and bond with him.While their wedding was still pending, Alpha Lucas allowed Susan to visit John's house.Alpha Lucas stood at the front of his house and watched as his wife got out of her car and walked up to meet him.Ex-Luna Sandra felt relieved. Although she wanted to see Charlotte and inform her that Teddy had signed the agree
Anne was at home in her father's house, cutting the grass in the garden when she heard the sound of a car arriving.She wore a red dress, worried since she hadn't gone to see Teddy at the pack station after he was arrested.Her mother had told her to visit Teddy, but she refused.As Anne looked back, dropping the scissors in her hand, she saw the security car pull to a stop, and two security men got out of the vehicle.Her father also stepped out of the house and looked at them. 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. Anne Robert has to come with us now," one of
"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
