Divorced My Husband, Married His Brother

In the Norfield pack, 22-year-old Charlotte Mateo waited for her husband and mate, the pack's Alpha, to return home, but he hadn't appeared. She knew he had been avoiding her lately, but as the pack's Luna, she didn't want to leave him or end their loveless marriage. She had been his wife for four years, and their fathers were friends, as her father was the pack's Beta. To solidify their friendship, they had arranged for Teddy to marry her. Charlotte had just turned 18 when she was betrothed to Teddy Hudson. Teddy was the second son of the Hudson family, and as his elder brother had been abroad for years, showing no interest in the ruling power of the Norfield pack, Alpha Lucas Hudson decided to hand over the pack's affairs to Teddy, hoping that he would look after the pack and help protect it from the ongoing rogue attacks. Alpha Lucas Hudson was still alive, though aged. He had two sons and a daughter. His two sons were Jack and Teddy. Jack was the rightful heir to rule the Norfield pack, but ever since Jack left the pack house when he turned 18 a decade ago, Alpha Lucas felt it was better to hand over the pack affairs to his second son, Teddy, who had been present. To take over the pack affairs, Alpha Lucas gave Charlotte Mateo to Teddy as his wife and Luna, to assist him in ruling the pack house. However, Teddy didn't like Charlotte. Since Teddy and Charlotte tied the knot four years ago, Teddy hadn't touched her, nor mated with her to seal their marriage. "Oh! Teddy hasn't been home for a week now. Should I call his father and report him? What kind of a husband is he?" Charlotte pondered. She had been enduring Teddy's ruthless behavior. He beat her at home, refused to eat her food, and avoided their master bedroom. Charlotte had endured it all because her father told her not to leave Teddy. She had suffered facial scars that would later heal, but Teddy didn't like her. He mostly pretended in front of others that he was a sweet, doting husband, especially during any of their pack functions. But once he came home, his beastly and animalistic nature took control of him. Charlotte was wearing a pink night dress. It was their marriage anniversary, and she thought to look sweet for Teddy. Maybe, just maybe, he would finally touch her and consummate their marriage. Charlotte knew she was not Teddy's mate. Most female werewolves in the Norfield pack find their mates when they turn 18 years of age, but Charlotte was now 22 and hadn't found her mate yet. She wasn't wolfless, and on the night she turned 18, four years ago, it was the same night her father gave her to Teddy as his wife. "Alpha, Here is my daughter, Charlotte Matteo. I give her to your son, Teddy Hudson as his wife, mate, and chosen Luna of the Norfield pack," her father said in front of the Alpha and his family. Charlotte loved Teddy. He was handsome, masculine, strong, and a skilled warrior of the Norfield pack. He single-handedly defeated battalions of rouges that had attacked their pack four years ago, and up till now, Teddy was a tough man. Teddy was only 22 years of age then, four years ago, when his father gave Charlotte to him. "Charlotte, do you accept Teddy Hudson as your husband and chosen mate? To love and cherish until death separates you both?" Charlotte remembered the night she was given to Teddy Hudson. Teddy had an aloof face. He wasn't pleased with her. Charlotte had a darker complexion, and that was something Teddy didn't like but kept silent about as he wanted to take over the pack. Teddy did everything his father wanted him to do so that he could take over the Norfield pack. He had to suppress his irritation and accept Charlotte as his wife, though she was young and looked at him with admiration. Teddy could see that Charlotte wanted to marry him, but he already had a mate, and he had to let his mate go for Charlotte's sake and to secure the Alpha's position of the Norfield pack. "Yes, Alpha. I accept Teddy Hudson as my husband and mate. To love and to cherish, until death do us apart," Charlotte said to Alpha Lucas who sat on the throne, and the whole family clapped happily for her. Alpha Lucas turned to face Teddy. "Teddy, do you accept Charlotte Mateo as your mate, chosen Luna, and to enable you in ruling over the Norfield pack in your elder brother's absence until he returns?" Alpha Lucas asked, but Teddy replied, "Dad, I will only accept Charlotte as my Luna on the condition that even when Jack returns, I will still be the Alpha of this pack?" Alpha Lucas nodded and replied bitterly, "Yes, Teddy. You have my word. As long as you accept Charlotte and treat her right, you shall remain the ruling Alpha of the Norfield pack from today henceforth. So do you accept to marry Charlotte?" With green glowing eyes, Teddy had replied, "Yes, I do." Charlotte wiped the sob away from her eyes after remembering the night she was given to Teddy Hudson. Teddy was 26 now, and Charlotte didn't know much about him. He kept her in the dark about his business, hangouts, and friends. She was only his wife and the current Luna of the Norfield pack by name. It worried her so much if she would continue to live in a loveless marriage. She braced herself as she remembered that Teddy had warned her not to contact him on the phone but to await his arrival. Charlotte decided to contact Teddy's Beta, Caleb Brown, to find out Teddy's whereabouts. It was Friday night, and Charlotte was worried as the time in her room was past 11 pm. "Hello, Caleb," Charlotte spoke in a nervous tone to Caleb. "Good evening, Luna Charlotte. Why are you calling me at this late ungodly hour? Do you want to implicate me and have me banished from our pack? You know how possessive Teddy is regarding you? Please refrain from calling me on the phone at this hour, unless you want me to reject your calls and place it on voicemail," Caleb said, and Charlotte apologized to him. "Please, I'm sorry. Only that Teddy hasn't returned home since last Monday when he left the house. Do you know of his whereabouts?" The phone call goes silent for a while, and Caleb said, "Alpha Teddy will be home tonight. He went for a business meeting with the next pack, but he will be home tonight. Do take care, Luna." Charlotte sighed as the phone call ended. Just then, she heard the doorbell sound and it skipped her mind that she heard the sound of a car arriving before. When Charlotte rushed to unlock the door, Teddy was back with a woman in his arms.
