"Slap!" A loud slap sounded.
Charlotte froze, having a hard time believing Clay's action.
Jona was slapped to the ground by Clay, and for a while, there was dead silence.
"Sorry for the rudeness, Charlotte, this is the first time I ever hit a woman. And please do not blame me. I'm still waiting for the delicious food you were talking about." Clay looked at Charlotte with a wide smile, as if to say: Baby, I got you back.
"Just yesterday, Charlotte said that Shaw is her mate, how could she be your mate today!" Jona said loudly, covering her face.
"Before Charlotte could recover from the shock, Clay had already
grabbed Jona's neck. He did not want to hear this woman call his MATE a b***h no more."
"You mean I'm wrong? Clay
tightened the chokehold on the woman's neck, radiating a dangerous
aura."
Jona couldn't catch her breath. Her face turned red as she struggled, and her hatred for Charlotte deepened in her heart.
"Alpha Clay, what's happening?
Zane passed by and hurriedly asked."
He heard that Charlotte was back, and he was just here to try some luck. Among all the dramas he could foresee, this, was definitely not one of them.
"At the moment, someone beside him whispered to him what
had happened."
Zane looked at Jona unhappily.
"Alpha Clay, please let Jona go. We Aiden pack will punish her. You don't have to get your hands dirty from all this." Zane said.
"Jona got a breath of fresh air and lay on
the ground panting heavily."
"Zane, I..." Jona wanted to say something.
"Shut it. Zane did not hesitate a bit
to take Jona right away."
The others around also left at once.
"Before leaving, Zane had a deep look at
Charlotte. He had so many questions to ask Charlotte, but now was not the time."
It was quiet again.
"Thank you, Clay. Charlotte
said it with her heart."
"I am your mate, and I will always protect you." Clay said as a matter of course.
"Clay understood that Charlotte did not
believe for a moment that he would protect her. Charlotte must have closed her eyes thinking he was going to hit her."
Thinking about this, Clay's heart started to ache. It doesn't take a genius to figure out how difficult her past life was.
It seems that he should make more effort to make his mate trust him completely.
At the same time, Charlotte is a little worried and embarrassed. She felt that Clay must be helping her out of the MATE bond.
"Are you really my mate?" Charlotte murmured.
Clay held her into his arms.
"I promise. When you go to Lal Pack, you
will have a new life and no one can ever do this to you again."
"Thank you..." Charlotte's voice was a little choked up.
"When they arrived at Rosa's kitchen, Rosa
warmly welcomed the two. She also congratulated Charlotte on her good luck in finding such a wonderful person as her mate."
After the meal, they said goodbye to Rosa. Since the unpleasant drama, Charlotte lost her interest to take a walk. So the two walked back to the mansion directly.
As they got back to the mansion, Clay helped settle Charlotte down and left her room like a gentleman.
The thought of Clay's face made Charlotte's face a little hot, and she had to admit that Clay was so gentle and trustworthy.
Hearing the door opened again, Charlotte turned her head.
"Clay, is there anything else?"
"Seeing that the visitor was Shaw, the smile
on her face quickly disappeared."
"What are you doing here?" Charlotte's voice was cold.
"What? So your lover can come in, and I
can't? Shaw's face was odd and his words were reeking of jealousy."
"Honestly, he had no idea why he had come to
Charlotte's room."
Maybe it was her intimacy with other men during the day that kept lingering in his mind.
"And he heard others say that the man was
Charlotte's mate!"
For some reason, the anger of jealousy kept haunting him, so he came.
"He is not my lover...
Charlotte didn't want him to slander Clay, but she didn't know how to describe the relationship between them."
After all... she lied, she couldn't feel the mate bond with Clay.
"Not your lover... What? You really want to be his MATE?" Shaw squeezed her chin and said mockingly, "You're nothing but a rag."
In his heart, Charlotte had always been an Omega.
"What's it to you? Isn't it enough for you to tease me? Get out of here now!" Charlotte waved her head in discomfort and tried to leave the big hand that was pinching her chin.
Shaw squeezed his hand even tighter.
"The girl's tempting red lips seemed to have
a magic power to lure him."
"He could no longer control himself and
pressed his lips on."
"Mmm..."
"Charlotte pushed Shaw away with all her
strength and threw a slap on his face."
"Shameless, nasty! Charlotte's
eyes were full of anger."
Irritated, Shaw's eyes turned red.
"Shameless? Nasty?"
"Yes, I am shameless and nasty."
"He mounted on Charlotte's body and pinned her
hands in the bed."
"Ah!!!"
Charlotte screamed in terror.
"Shut up! Shaw ordered in a
lowered voice, gagging her lips with his mouth."
"Uh-uh."
"The man was way stronger than her, and she
couldn't break free from the firm hands that cuffed her to the bed."
"She whimpered and struggled, trying to get
away from the man's lips."
"But as if God was playing a joke on her, no
matter how much she struggled, she could not escape."
"Feeling the large hands caressing her
breasts, she shed tears of despair."
"Be good, be obedient and cooperate." Shaw's voice was low and hoarse.
"He slowly let go of the girl's red lips and
went to kiss her earlobe, trying to get her act more spontaneously."
"Charlotte looked at the ceiling helplessly,
tears kept flowing down from her eyes."
"Bang!"
The door of the room was kicked open, and Clay looked at the girl who was being pinned to the bed in a strange position with her eyes flooding with tears.
"He angrily pulled away Shaw and swung
his fist at his face."
Shaw recognized who was coming. He sneered and touched the blood the corner of his mouth.
"Really? For a woman? Don't you know that I'm the future Alpha of the Aiden Pack. And did you forget we are going to sign a peace treaty tomorrow?!" Shaw asked.
"Let me remind you, your father begged me to sign this peace treaty." Clay answered, with a hint of danger emanated from under his eyes.
Shaw gritted his teeth. Clay was right. Shaw himself was the one that went too far.
"I'm warning you, Charlotte is my mate, she's about to become the Luna of our pack, anyone who bullies her is against me, against the entire Lal pack!"
"Shaw lowered his head reluctantly. He didn't
expect that she really was Alpha Clay's MATE!!!"
Suddenly, Charlotte hugged Clay's waist from behind without a word.
Clay could feel her silent weeping.
He turned around and stroked Charlotte's hair.
Then he turned to Shaw in a cold voice: "Get out!"
Shaw left in silence.
Charlotte buried her head in Clay's arms and couldn't help crying anymore.
Clay hugged her, patting her back, "I'm sorry I'm late."
Charlotte sobbed: "can you stay with me, please?"
Clay froze for a moment, and said: "Do you know what it means to invite a man to stay."
Charlotte came to a halt. Did he want to...
Charlotte hurriedly shook her head.
"I can stay with you or do nothing, but sorry, you have to take a shower first, you have the smell of Shaw." Clay raised his eyebrows.
"Is that so?" So she smells like Shaw?
Charlotte lowered her head a little in self-condemnation, after all, she was now Clay's MATE.
However, she was only temporarily staying in the manison.
Her room did not have bathing facilities, so she had to go back to her little shack. But given all the drama, she did not want to go back there. Those people who are so fond of teasing her must be waiting for her.
"There is no place to take a bath in my room, can I go to your place..." Charlotte whispered, with embarrassment climbing onto her cheeks.
Clay looked around, carefully examining this room for the first time.
The room was plain and simple. Comparing to the luxurious suite he was staying in, it was too shabby.
"Alright, let's go."
"Charlotte followed behind Clay with her head down until Clay opened the door and stopped, and Charlotte's head hit
Clay's back."
"Sorry." Charlotte looked up into the room.
Exquisite and beautiful crystal lamps were embedded in the walls, and the fancy marble floors reflected the light to make it even brighter. The room was glorious.
Everything looks luxurious.
She walked in with her mouth wide open, surprised.
As there was a faint scent of flowers and plants, she couldn't help but notice plenty of flowers and plants that she could not recognize were all over the balcony.
A pure white swing hung on the balcony, waving with the wind.
Charlotte felt like she had come to a wonderland. Everything was so beautiful!
This is the top-level suite where the Alpha Clay was arranged, which is clear enough that the Aiden wolf pack attached great importance to him.
"It's so beautiful here!" She exclaimed.
Clay reached out gently and introduced, "The bathroom is over here."
"Ah, al.. alright..." Charlotte stepped into the bathroom uneasily.
"She closed the bathroom door tightly and
leaned her back against it."
It was so wonderful here that she couldn't help but let out a long breath of relief and head to the tub.
She walked under the shower and saw several delicate and showy switches. She pressed the red button, and hot water sprayed right out of the shower onto her body.
"Ahhhh!!!" She turned off the hot water at once, surprised.
Unlike where she lived, where hot water needed to be boiled in advance every night, this place supplied hot water directly.
"Is everything okay, Charlotte?" Clay asked from outside the bathroom door when he heard the sound.
"Everything's fine," Charlotte replied immediately.
She took off her clothes and began to shower.
The warm water rinsed her flawless body and brought comfort to her heart. All the drama that happened during the day didn't seem to bother her anymore.
She happily hummed a song, blowing the foam in her hands.
After the shower, something embarrassing happened again.
She forgot to bring a change of clothes!
And the clothes she had changed out of were lying dripping wet in a bucket by the corner.
"Clay." Charlotte opened the bathroom door with only a crack and carefully poked her head out of the door.
Clay heard her call and asked, "Anything wrong?"
"I... forgot to bring a change of clothes for the shower." Charlotte blushed.
Clay thought about it for a second and took out his own clothes from the luggage.
"Here, you can take mine."
Charlotte nodded and nervously reached out through the crack of the door to take the clothes that Clay handed in.
She shut the door and turned around to change, but her feet slipped!
"Ahhh," Charlotte fell down with a shriek.
"Charlotte?!"
The loud sound made Clay push the door open right away.
The girl was sitting on the floor, frowning upon the pain. The clothes he had just handed in were scattered around her.
There were new wounds and old scars on her porcelain-like skin, but this did not affect her beauty, but rather made her more compassionate. Clay could not help but to see her plump...
