Charlotte's POV
Wait, what? Is my ears perhaps having a serious default because that's the only thing I think should explain what I heard. Is Jasper playing some kind of prank on me?
"Yes, my Alpha." The elderly lady responded.
He didn't say a word but continued climbing the stairs. Does he think that because we're now in his Pack that he can toy with me as he wishes? I have to rob it on his face that he can't. I won't allow him to do that.
Furthermore, I am Charlotte Adolph, the Army commander of the Lotus Pack and the Luna of the Crystal Moon Pack, so I deserve to be respected.
"Jasper, I must have heard wrongly, right?" I asked with a loud voice and even though I wasn't staring at the maids, I still heard them gasp in shock, perhaps because I called their Alpha by his name. Stupid!
"You're not allowed to refer to the Alpha by his name, it's Alpha to you!" Someone said from behind, and I turned towards the source of the voice and saw his beta standing a few feet away from me.
I turned back to where Jasper was supposed to be, but he wasn't there any longer. "I wasn't talking to you, but then who gave you the right to speak to me in that manner?" I retorted while walking down the stairs.
"This is the Crystal…"
I interrupted his words, "Shut up! You aren't allowed to speak while I'm speaking! You should show some respect to your Luna!" I shouted on top of my voice with a domineering aura that made his beta, which I'm yet to know his name, stare at me in awe.
After saying those words to him, I turned and walked up to the stairs and followed Jasper's scent and traced his room. I didn't bother knocking, but instead turned the knob of the door frame directly.
"Jasper, game over! "I yelled.
"What do you mean by that?" He asked as he kept unfastening his shirt buttons.
"Don't play dumb with me and start telling me your fucking reason for deceiving my father and bringing me here on the so name that I am your mate." I tried to keep my voice down, but the anger and betrayal in my heart made it impossible to do so.
"If you must know, your dad sold you off to me in exchange for uranium. So that means that you're my property, and you're supposed to abide by every word I say." He announced while walking towards me shirtless, and I can feel our mate bond trying to control my head again.
"Yes, you're my mate but" He ceased in his words and held my hand and for some reason, I didn't yank it off.
"But I don't want you. You can't fit into my life, and you can't offer anything, just your worthless self. The fact that you're a bastard made it all worse, you'll bring a stain to my generation and…" I forced him to swallow his words with a hard punch that creased his jaw and another on his lips.
"You're the bastard! You're a monster." I said with a low voice right into his ear.
"How dare you?'' He groaned in anger and just then the door flung open to our surprise. We were too engrossed in our argument that we didn't perceive the person's scent.
"What is going on here?" The beautiful wolf that just stepped in asked with confusion written all over her face.
"Hey, what are you doing in your Alpha's bedroom? And he's standing shirtless before you?" The accusation leaching in her voice can't go unnoticed.
"And who are you to walk into my mate's room without knocking?" I asked, to be frank, I don't know where the sudden possessiveness is coming from, let's blame the stupid mate bond.
"Your mate?" the lady asked in shock while staring at Jasper for an answer.
"Anna, it's not what you think it is." He said in a soft tone that I never knew he had as he walked towards the lady.
"Then what is it? Jasper, I only want to hear one word from you, a yes or no. Is she spouting rubbish?" She asked while pointing at me.
"Charlotte, leave, I need to have a word with my fiancé."I thought it wasn't supposed to be a surprise to me, but then I felt my heart sink.
His Fiancée?
"Do you need to explain yourself before she leaves? Leave!" Anna groaned in anger.
I have never obeyed my adopted father straight up, then who on Earth would I obey? She doesn't know who she just spoke to.
"I am not moving an inch away from this room until I come to terms with what is going on here."I said while sitting on the nearest sofa.
"Jasper, what's this." Anna exclaimed then tried to hit me but Jasper stopped her.
"Ohh, you're even taking sides now, right?" She inquired with a raised eyebrow.
"Babe, it's not what you think, but you have to calm down. Allow me to explain things to you. '' His tone is as soft as a lullaby. This is unfair, how dare he treat another werewolf like this in front of his mate? My heart kept shattering more and more as he placed kisses on her forehead and cheeks.
"I found her when I went to the Lotus Pack for a business purpose. Yes, she's my mate, but then you're my everything. It doesn't matter whether you're my true mate or not. I love you, Anna."I can't stand to watch him being intimate with Anna.
But then I can't let them see the effect of their actions.
"You really do love her, and she's indeed your everything, right?"I let out a snicker laugh.
"Anna, right?"You did be a fool to believe his bullshit. Because he would have rejected me right away if he loved you even the slightest bit." As though thinking over my words, she turned towards him, but then I walked out of the room, slamming the door hard in the process.
It is not like I can do any other thing. As I walked down the stairs, I clutched my heart with my hand. It hurts so much. Why didn't he reject me? Did he bring me here, so he can watch me suffer?
"Grace, where is my room?"I asked the elderly woman, and she smiled and began to lead the way.
She stopped on a particular door frame downstairs in the passageway which leads to the backyard. "Call me whenever you need anything." She said, then bowed and walked out.
The minute I stepped into the magnificent room I could have smiled at its beauty, but the bitterness in my heart made a single tear roll down my cheeks instead. I was about to take a step when I felt a piercing pain in my heart that made me fall to my feet immediately.
"Ahhhh…"I let out a painful groan.
