Chapter 5

"STOP IT! Stop!" Charlotte rushed to separate the two men fighting, and though she was weak and no match to withstand any of their strength,

Jack obeyed Charlotte's command as he had beaten his younger brother to a stupor, not minding that he was in Teddy's house, and that, Teddy was the Alpha of the pack.

"Charlotte..." Jack reached to touch her, but she moved away from him and rushed to meet Teddy.

"Are you alright?" Charlotte asked Teddy, as she crouched in front of him.

Teddy swatted his hands away from Charlotte's touch like it burnt him.

However, Anne rushed to help Teddy stand up at 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 away from where he was standing, and the next minute, he was standing in front of Teddy, and he attacked him, and dealt with him, 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.

When 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! You're not welcomed here anymore. You arrive at my home, and the best you could do is to kiss my wife and to attack me!"

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

Jack cleaned his bloody lips as he hadn't expected the event to turn out like that. He had arrived home not too long ago, as the flight journey from the humans city to their werewolf territory took several hours before he arrived.

And he had arrived home, wanting to see his only brother that 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 too?"

Jack's eyes widened in shock, 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 gritted her teeth. She didn't want to leave the mansion at that late hour. There were rogue attacks in the midnight, and Anne was a Beta, and not strong enough to face the rogues.

Anne glared at Charlotte angrily and spat, "You see what you have caused. You shameless woman."

She quickly looked away from Jack, who glared at her for insulting Charlotte in his presence, who was still standing there speechless.

Charlotte didn't reply to Anne, and Anne went downstairs to ask the maids to show her to the guest room as she couldn't leave the house by 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, as he tried to move closer to Charlotte and apologize to her.

Charlotte knew Jack was her real mate, but he was not around for years. He had grown more handsome, taller, charming, and masculine than Teddy, who was the most feared Alpha in their pack.

"It's okay, Jack. You don't have to apologize to me 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.

Jack wanted more kisses, but now, he couldn't take Charlotte 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 out yourselves. It had been long since I left this pack, and I don't know what had been going on, or what had changed in my absence. But now that I'm back at 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, his voice soft, as he moved closer to touch Charlotte again, but she moved away from him.

"It's okay, Jack. I will keep that in mind. It's already very late now. Why not go downstairs and stay in the guest room until tomorrow morning, then you can return home," Charlotte said, as she avoided looking up at Jack's face.

"Okay, that sounds nice, but you heard my brother dismissed 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 to apologize to him again. Take care of yourself," Jack turned to leave, and Charlotte finally looked up at him.

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

Also, Charlotte knew that she had cheated on Teddy by kissing his brother, and not a total stranger. She was sure Teddy would deal with her, but she couldn't just leave the mansion and return home to her father's house.

It was late, seeing the time was 12:45 am, Charlotte breathed out 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 him.

Teddy was standing there in the room and boiling with rage as he remembered how Jack had attacked him.

Jack was fast, his movements were precise, and he was very good with combat before he left the pack.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to kiss your elder brother," Charlotte said, as she stood motionless in the bedroom and just beside the door.

Teddy was gazing out the window, and he saw that Jack had left his mansion. As he saw him 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 real 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 was partially visible on her arms, as she was dark-skinned.

Although, Charlotte wore a pink night mini dress as her body was revealing. Her brẹasts, which were bigger and fuller than Anne's, were visible, and her hips, which were extremely curvy, were on full display, in the semi-nude pink nightdress that she wore.

Teddy's green eyes rather moved to assess Charlotte from her chest and down to her sexy, curvy waist and up to her face again.

As for the first time in their four years of marriage, Teddy was aroused by looking at this pretty young woman.
