Anne bit her inner lip angrily and quickly faked a smile. "That's alright, Alpha. Let's have our breakfast first."
Teddy sighed and watched as his beta, Caleb Brown, arrived. He had phoned Caleb immediately after he left Jack's hideous house to see him.
In the past, ten years ago, Teddy was aware of Jack's love for the forest. He knew that his brother had a small house deep within the pack's forest in a secluded area. But it slipped his mind the previous night to send the guards to check there for Charlotte.
When Jack traveled out to the western world, Teddy knew the house had been abandoned, and he did not expect the inside to still be neat and homely.
Not that he went there to check on Jack either. He was only aware of what his elder brother liked and was looking for a way to eliminate Jack.
"Greetings, Alpha, you sent for me," Beta Caleb said. He wore a black ensemble, more like a security guard too. But he was the next in command after Teddy.
"Yes, I did. Wait for me in my office," Teddy said, dismissing Caleb, while Anne greeted Caleb and walked up to meet Teddy.
Teddy wanted to process the matter to the pack's court immediately to have Jack sentenced to jail or hanged to death, either by firing squad or killed like a rogue for daring to mate with Charlotte.
A satisfactory smile curved up Teddy's lips as he had been thinking of how to eliminate Jack. Now a good opportunity had presented itself for something he had wanted to do for a long time.
A malicious grin appeared on Teddy's face as Caleb bowed and left, "Understood, Alpha."
"Come, Anne. Let's have our breakfast together," Teddy said, as he was happy and glad that Anne had agreed to support him with his plan to have Jack punished and not allow Charlotte to be with her mate.
Teddy liked that Anne didn't nag him like Charlotte usually did. Anne was quite considerate, or so Teddy thought.
He held Anne closely and escorted her to the dining table in the magnificent home.
The maid earlier stepped out quickly from the kitchen, carrying a tray of the Alpha's breakfast. Swiftly, she approached the dining table with her head bent low as she dished out the meal.
A plate of freshly baked bread and two teacups for Anne and Alpha Teddy.
Seated beside Teddy, Anne pondered on what to do, and she couldn't allow Charlotte to return to the Mansion. She didn't care to ask where Charlotte was taken to; she wanted Charlotte eliminated as well, but she tried not to think about it in the presence of Teddy, knowing that Teddy would read her mind.
Being the Alpha King, Teddy had powers to read minds and also the Alpha power to win battles. He was ruthless, and Anne didn't want to get on his wrong side as she loved him. She sat across from Teddy at the long golden dining table as they resumed eating their breakfast.
"So this is what it feels like to be the Luna?" Anne pondered in her mind, and Teddy met her gaze.
"Do not worry, I will make you my Luna, but Charlotte still has to be here to educate you on the Luna qualities," Teddy replied to Anne as he read her mind and saw her flushed face.
"Okay," Anne forcefully replied. "Shall we eat now?" she asked him, and Teddy replied, "Yes."
Teddy thought about the punishment to give to Charlotte when she returned, as he wasn't going to let her go. Being the ruler of the Norfield pack, he had the power to also control the magistrate in their vicinity as the pack members feared him.
"I will have Charlotte punished for her sins, and she will be stripped in front of our pack members. She will be flogged for daring to have an affair with my older brother. So she will learn to respect the rules of this pack. If she doesn't set an example as a good Luna, what does she want our pack's women to do?" Teddy questioned while Anne smiled.
Anne would really love to see Charlotte get punished in front of all their pack members. For four years, she had wanted to punish Charlotte herself for marrying Teddy and accepting the Luna's position when she wasn't Teddy's real mate.
"Do as you please, Alpha," Anne grinned as she awaited Charlotte's punishment. She resumed eating her bread and sipping her tea as she sat across from Teddy, having their breakfast together.
Anne smiled once more, feeling like the pack's Luna. She knew her mother also condemned Charlotte in the women's club and accused Charlotte of stealing someone else's mate, even though her mother didn't mention whose mate Charlotte had stolen. She always ensured to disgrace Charlotte in the women's meeting, and Teddy wouldn't do anything to have her mother punished.
"I cannot wait to see Charlotte being punished and stripped of her Luna's position. It's not hers to begin with," Anne grinned while Teddy smiled.
As they sat together having their breakfast in the quiet mansion, they could hear the distant sound of a car arriving.
Their pack had developed six years ago under his leadership, and they agreed to the importation of cars from the human world, other than running most of the time in their werewolf forms.
Only when they wanted to perform their pack's activities did they not let foreigners into their pack.

Alpha Lucas Hudson stormed into the living room of Teddy's mansion as the guards didn't try to stop him.
"Teddy!" Alpha Lucas called out to Teddy Hudson in surprise, seeing his second son having breakfast with a she-wolf instead of resolving the matter between himself and Jack.
"Welcome, father," Teddy greeted, not forgetting that his father had slapped him after he went there earlier in search of Jack.
"Teddy, what's going on between you and Jack? Why would you have him locked up in the dirtiest cell and handled like a criminal? Is that the welcome party you were supposed to host in honor of Jack's return to our pack? You know we have always wanted him back to help in maintaining peace and equilibrium in this pack. After ten years apart from not seeing Jack, and all you had to do was lock him up?" Alpha Lucas queried Teddy angrily, as he wasn't pleased by Teddy's action.
"No matter what Jack did, there are other ways to resolve it than locking him up," Ex-Alpha Lucas continued, while Teddy smirked, "I can lock up whoever I want to detain, Dad. Including you, do not forget that I'm the Alpha King now! I would overlook your ignorance in smacking me in the morning, but whatever decision I make stands."
