Chapter 9: In Jack's house

last update Last Updated: 2024-07-12 00:18:35
Charlotte sat on one of the couches in the parlor, admiring the small house. It wasn't until Jack walked out of his room with only a white towel wrapped around his waist that she became aware of him. Jack was holding another small towel in his right hand, which he ran over his short, black wavy hair.

"Jack, are you sure I shouldn't start going back home to my parents' house? I'm sure 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, 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 AM, and here they were, discussing as if it were dawn already.

"Why do you want to go back home, knowing that your parents have no say in the Alpha's family?" Jack questioned, and Charlotte

    Teddy moved Anne away from his arms as she prevented 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 said this, and Anne burst into tears in his arms."No, Teddy. I cannot withstand the pain if you sleep with Charlotte. Please," Anne begged. Teddy remained silent for a while, 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 at the pack's border," the guard relayed, and 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 for all of you!" Teddy ordered, and the guard replied, "Understood, Alp

    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

    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?" Jack asked, but Charlotte remained silent, not responding.Jack moved closer to the bed to meet Charlotte, but she stayed silent while the little baby in her arms smiled upon seeing Jack's face.Charlotte frowned, not wanting to believe that her baby was already aware of his father's presence.She kept silent as Jack placed the baby gift beside her bed."You should name him Samson," Jack suggested, and C

    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

    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

    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
