All Chapters of Not Daddy's Anymore: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Charlotte's POVI hung up on my father and wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes. I didn't want to show any sign of weakness.I disembarked from the yacht early and took a car back to the castle by myself. I packed my papers and wanted to head out right away to arrange my entry documents for Silvermoon City."Charlotte, who told you to come back alone? What if you had run into a pack of rogue werewolves? Do you have any idea how long I searched for you? You're getting more disobedient by the day!"Layson pushed open the door and confronted me. His tall figure towered over me, and the string of love bites on his neck stood out so glaringly.He still carried Grace's scent on him, which drifted into my nostrils.Even though I already knew they had been intimate, I still couldn't stop the sorrow from welling up inside me. I avoided meeting his gaze. I pretended not to react, but he knew me too well. Besides, my eyes were a little red.He instinctively helped me fasten the

Charlotte's POVAfter that day, I never spoke to Layson again. I had nothing left to say, but he probably thought I was just playing hard to get.Things remained tense between us all the way to the Full Moon Celebration hosted by the Black Forest pack.I still remembered the Full Moon Celebration when I was 18 years old, the night I awakened my wolf for the very first time. Layson had been standing right beside me. When violent power surged through my blood, pushing my sanity to its breaking point, he used his Alpha power to keep me firmly under control.Layson became my guide. From that time on, he taught me how to control my wolf, how to find the balance between hunting and restraint, and how to become a true warrior. He taught me everything except how to make him love me.I used to believe that we were a perfect match.Before I turned 18, he doted on me and indulged me. After I turned 18, he made me endure his wolfish desires under him every night. I thought that was the intim

Charlotte's POVI thought I was dead. But when I opened my eyes again, I was lying in a bed I knew well.Rain was falling outside the window, a fire crackled in the hearth, and the air was filled with Layson's distinctive herbal scent. He was sitting next to the bed, his clothes rumpled and his chin covered in stubble. His bloodshot eyes made it clear he had been keeping watch over me for days.When he saw that I was awake, relief flickered across his face."Charlotte, you're finally awake! Do you have any idea how worried I was?"I only looked at him in silence. After a long pause, I said quietly, "Your Majesty, you don't have to stay with me. Go be with Grace. She needs you more than I do.""Are you still upset with me?" he asked.I gave a slight smile and said, "I can take care of myself."He was a bit stunned, looking as though he couldn't quite understand. His expression was complicated as he stared at me."I'll arrange for the maids to be here around the clock. If you ne

Charlotte's POVA week later, I saw on social media that Layson and Grace's wedding had gone ahead right on schedule. The entire werewolf pack was swept up in the grandeur of the event. The ceremony wasn't simplified just because Grace was pregnant. On the contrary, it was even more lavish than any Alpha wedding I'd ever heard of.This grand wedding, celebrating ten years of love, was even broadcast live across the entire internet.The venue was filled with the red roses Grace loved, all of them gathered by Layson and his troops from the thorny forests in the North. Those roses symbolized the Alpha's promise to his mate—he would push through thorns to bring her the brightest blooms.On the pack's biggest social media platform, the flood of admiration for their bond was endless, and their wedding post shot straight to the top of the trending list."Layson and Grace are the perfect match.""I heard Layson nearly died once while saving Grace.""Ever since the former Alpha's fiancée

Layson's POV"My dear Majesty, why are you still awake?"Grace's voice made me realize she'd been standing there for a while. My expression changed as I pulled off the shawl draped over my shoulders and walked over to her."Why aren't you sleeping? Are you cold?"I placed the shawl over her shoulders and held her hands in mine to warm them.She smiled a little, but her eyes were filled with worry. "I can't sleep when you're not there. I got up to check on you."She lowered her voice and hesitated for a moment before speaking again. "I overheard you and Ron mentioning Charlotte. She really left? Is it because of me?"Her voice got softer and softer, and by the last line, she was practically whispering. Her head drooped, and her eyes were red from tears, looking guilty.I felt a twinge of pity. I gently pulled her into my arms and kissed the top of her head. "Don't worry about it. It has nothing to do with you."She tugged on my shirt, looking uneasy. "But she was entrusted to y
