Divorced My Husband, Married His Brother

CHAPTER 8

"What??" Anne screamed, and Charlotte carefully stood up to bolt out of the mansion. She could not bear any pups for Teddy. For four years, he had lied to his family that she was barren and that he had been trying hard to make her conceive, whereas he hadn't tried at all.

"Teddy? You cannot do this to me!" Anne cried, while Charlotte carried the tray of food and walked to the kitchen. She said to them calmly, "The food is not enough, so I want to get some extra. Will you care to join us, Anne?" Charlotte asked with a playful smirk on her lips, while Anne glared at her.

"Sweetheart, you cannot mate with her! I cannot withstand the pain if you do that to me," Anne cried in Teddy's hold, ignoring Charlotte, who left them and went into the kitchen.

Quickly, Charlotte dropped the tray of food there and bolted out of the house through the kitchen back door. She wouldn't be used as Teddy's baby-making machine. She fled the residence, not caring if there were ongoing rogue attacks.

She ran away, heading back to her father's mansion, which was farther from Teddy's villa. The guards at Teddy's mansion didn't notice when Charlotte left the villa. She fled and ran as fast as her legs could carry her.

She unlocked the gate with speed before any of the guards could stop her or protest her leaving the residence at such a late hour. She kept running, but was soon chased by a big black wolf that perceived her intoxicating lemonade scent.

There were rumoured rogues in the Norfield pack that night, as they had heard that the Alpha wasn't around and had gone to another pack's function, so they launched an attack on the Norfield pack house, wanting to kidnap any pretty young woman they saw and take her to their Rogue king.

However, as the black wolf caught up with Charlotte, she screamed and rolled off to the sand, feeling her life flash before her eyes at the sight of the horrific mighty black beast that had caught up with her.

"Don't hurt me! Please!" Charlotte cried as the wolf looked at her. The wolf's green eyes met her blue eyes in the wee hours of the night, and instead of biting her as she had thought, the wolf shapeshifted gradually into the handsome naked man that Charlotte had initially kissed before.

"Jack!" Charlotte was stunned to see Jack, but he was fully unclothed. His long dark curls made him look attractive, and Charlotte immediately looked away from him, wondering what he was doing outside at such a late hour of the night.

"What are you doing out here at this time?" Charlotte was the first to ask Jack in a husky tone, as her body was already radiating heat from their closeness and Jack previously lying on her before.

"What else? I came to look around and also go for a run. I hadn't expected to see you outside, so I should be the one asking you. What are you doing out here and running too? Did you go for a run? I thought you were with my brother and wanted to be with him," Jack said, and Charlotte could hear the sadness in Jack's voice.

Charlotte thought maybe Jack was angry that his mate was already married off to his younger brother before he returned, and not only that, he wasn't the Alpha anymore.

"I'm going home. Teddy, I mean, my husband wanted to mate with me for the first time, and I cannot allow him to touch me. Not after bringing that woman to our home tonight," Charlotte said as she finally stood up from the sandy ground, knowing that sooner or later, Teddy would come out looking for her.

"What? You mean you and my younger brother have not mated since four years ago, when you both got married?" Jack asked in shock as he rose from the ground, fully unclothed.

Charlotte looked away from him. Blushing, and she replied, "Yes. Teddy didn't want to touch me. He avoided me and beat me at any given opportunity. But today, after he saw you, he wanted to mate with me, to make me pregnant so that I can bear him pups and enable him to retain the Alpha's position."

While Charlotte was crying as she remembered the four years she had suffered living with Teddy as his mate and Luna.

Four years of torture as he abused her and flogged her at any slightest provocation—now he wants to get her pregnant after seeing that his elder brother was back.

"I'm sorry that you have to go through all that with my brother. But you're still his wife? I know that you're my mate, even if you wouldn't acknowledge it. Although I didn't know about this before, after I left this pack to travel, I didn't have any other mate nor felt the mating bond. It reminded me that I was far away from home, my people, and I had to return home to help build the pack and find my mate. What I hadn't expected was that my mate would be my younger brother's wife," Jack said as he turned to look at Charlotte under the moonlight.

"Come with me!" Jack swiftly took Charlotte by her hand and led her deeper into the forest to a secret house there.

Charlotte was shocked as she entered this small house with Jack. He locked the door, and they could hear the sound of people running and the guards asking one another, "Did you find her?"

"No! No one is here, let's check the other side of the forest. I hope the rogues haven't captured our Luna," the guards said as they left the small hideaway in the dark forest and continued searching for Charlotte.

Charlotte, who was hugging Jack, immediately moved away from him as he was still unclothed. She blushed and asked him, "Where are we?"

"A small relaxation house. It's beside the forest path, and I built it long ago when this area hadn't been covered with forest trees and before I left this pack to travel. Then I was 18 years old, so no one bothered to look after it. But it's still neat, just like I left it before," Jack said as he walked towards the room in the small cottage house, consisting of a parlor and a room self-contained. He said, "I will join you soon. Let me go and freshen up."

"Okay," Charlotte replied, and she looked away from Jack as she could feel her body radiating heat for them to consummate their mating bond and have s*x. But she was still married to Teddy, and it was only right that she divorce Teddy first before agreeing to be with Jack.

Jack went into the bathroom to shower, knowing that Charlotte had rolled on the sandy soil with him when he caught up with her in his beast form. He invited her into the bathroom to join him in bathing.
