"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 because of me," Charlotte pleaded with Jack, worried that he might injure Teddy or Teddy might injure him.
"Do not worry. Come, let me escort you out," Jack said, noticing they were not properly dressed, as Charlotte was almost in a transparent dress.
"Is this what you wore last night?" he asked her.
Charlotte paused and looked at him. "Yes," she replied, smiling.
"No way am I going to allow you to go outside like this. Wait," Jack went back to his room and quickly donned a white shirt and black trousers, also taking another spare white shirt that he had in his room. The wardrobe had a few clothes left from when Jack was younger, so he assumed the shirt would fit Charlotte.
"Here, try this one. It was one of my old clothes before I left this pack, so it should fit," Jack said, walking up to Charlotte to cover her up. He helped her put on the shirt, and it looked nice on her.
"Now, this is better," he said, smiling.
"Thank you," Charlotte replied, as Jack moved away from her shortly after assisting her with the shirt.
"You don't have to thank me. I haven't gotten over what we did last night, and I want more," Jack grinned, and Charlotte looked away from him. However, as they walked to the door to exit the parlor, they heard a loud bang on the door, accompanied by Teddy's loud roar. "I'm going to kill you both today! Jack! You have crossed the line! How dare you bring my wife here to this damn forest like the animal you are!"
Charlotte immediately ran to hide behind Jack, startled to hear Teddy's voice. She hadn't expected Teddy to find them, and it slipped her mind who Jack mentioned had come to look for her before.
"What are we going to do? Oh my goodness! I cannot go out there!" Charlotte burst into tears. Jack's fist tightened, and he told Charlotte, "Calm down. Teddy wouldn't dare to hurt you while I'm here."
"Charlotte! Open this damn door. I will count to three. If you do not come out from where you're hiding, I will ask my men to blow up this door."
Upon hearing Teddy's orders, Charlotte shivered. She was shaking in terror and wished she had escaped before Teddy found her. Now she was afraid to go outside again.
"One!" Teddy started counting. He had gone to his parents' house earlier in search of Charlotte after he dismissed the guards to return to looking for her.
"Two!" Teddy shouted. He was enraged when he got home. His parents were shocked to see him. He drove there at speed, as he was driving the latest cars in their pack. Their pack had developed under his tenure, so he imported cars from the western world. Although Teddy had three sleek cars and a private jet, Charlotte was only allowed to drive one of his cars, and only when she wanted to go to the women's meeting.
Teddy had ensured to restrict Charlotte's movement as he didn't want her to wander off. As much as he wanted to get rid of her before, it never crossed his mind that Charlotte was mated to Jack for real. Now, he was in a deep mess that he had to fix.
Upon his arrival at his parents' abode, Teddy had stormed into the living room of the mighty villa. The house used to be where he lived before he had grown up, and the living room had past portraits of himself, Jack, and their only sister, Susan, gracing the living room walls.
"Teddy, what is wrong?" his father queried him after he entered the hall, requesting to see Jack.
"Where is Jack, father?" he demanded, and his father told him to calm down.
"Calm down, Teddy. Jack is not here. We thought he left to see you last night. Jack arrived home late, and your mother and I told him that it was already late to visit you. But he refused. He said he missed you and wanted to see you," his father relayed.
"That bastard!" Teddy growled, and his mother shouted at him, "What has come over you, Teddy? What did Jack do to you that you're here so early in the morning wanting to pull down our roof?"
Staring at his mother with so much rage in his eyes, Teddy spat, "You caused all this, mother! If only you hadn't given birth to that bastard son of yours!"
"Teddy!" His father landed him a hot slap and growled at him. "You don't dare to speak to your mother like that in my presence. What did Jack do?"
Seeing his father smack him, Teddy stormed out without responding to his parents. He wanted to find Jack and finish him off. Now was the time to get rid of his older brother. He stormed out of the mansion, not listening to his parents calling him back, "Teddy! Teddy!"
He hit the accelerator and zoomed off.
"Three!" Teddy shouted and banged on the door, wanting to break it down, but Jack opened it and growled at Teddy.
"What do you want here? You are not welcome here, so leave!" Jack told Teddy, and Teddy looked into the parlor of the small cottage house. Teddy saw Charlotte standing there and looking at him with pleading eyes. He stared back at Jack, his chest rising and falling heavily in anger.
"I'm not here for you, Jack. We will handle the matter in court. Be prepared to go to jail, as there are rules governing this pack, and you dare to house my wife here!" Teddy's anger was evident as he sniffed Charlotte's scent all over Jack.
Smirking, Jack crossed his arms over his chest as he looked at his younger brother, who was wearing a black garment at that early hour of the morning.
"I didn't just house your wife like you said. I was with her last night, and I haven't experienced such pleasure before. It's a good thing you hadn't mated with her until I returned to do that."
"What the heck!" Teddy rushed to strike Jack. He couldn't believe his ears. Jack still smelled of Charlotte's scent. Their lovemaking was intense the previous night, so Charlotte's scent was still hovering around him.
As Teddy rushed to strike Jack, Jack caught his fist and held him back. Angered, Teddy tried to wrestle with his brother. He was enraged and cursing his luck for not having mated with Charlotte.
That was the first thing he was supposed to do on the night they first entered their new home. Instead, he went into another bedroom and slept off because he didn't want to hurt Anne.
The guards immediately rushed to separate the two brothers fighting as Teddy couldn't attack Jack. Jack had trained in wrestling in the city. He was a heavyweight wrestler, and all the guards present were afraid of him. They feared their bones being crushed as Jack looked very powerful and mean. Why did they allow him into their pack's border? Now the guards had no peace trying to separate the two strongest men in their pack.
