Escaping my arranged marriage with Alpha Prescott

Chapter 64

Prescott

| was blessed with a fated mate but my curse didn’t let me have my blessings. Fate was so twisted and wicked, it gave me my mate but she hid the truth from me. My heart was heavy with mixed feelings.

There were so many things that | wanted her to confront and then, there was the heavy burden of guilt that surrounded my heart after realizing that | could lose my mate and pup both because of my stupidity.

The:

anger, pain, and guilt had built their home in my heart and the burden of carrying it was making it hard for me to breathe. | picked on one emotion which was easier for me and ignored the others- anger.

“Why did you lie to me, Tila? Why did you make all those fake stories about your second chance mate’s death and hide the truth from me?” | probed her with a condemning tone, burying my face deeper into her shoulder.

She struggled to get rid of my grasp around her waist and shoulder but | didn’t budge from my place. My wife was keeping secrets from me and needed to find the reason behind it.

“The baby is also mine, isn’t it?” | asked her, feeling enraged at the mere thought of being deceived by her again. “How could you separate me from my baby?” My voice came out harsher than | wanted.

“If you want a baby, go and f uck your ex. This is only my baby,” she snarled at me, the anger seeping from her features,

| was so engrossed in my thoughts that not for once, the thought of Lola came into my mind. Suddenly, after knowing that my wife was pregnant with my pup, | felt remorse for putting her through all the sh its and regretted touching Lola. | was helpless when it was about Lola. No matter how much | controlled myself, | would lose it after having one sight of her.

“You know, you look ten times sexier when you are jealous,” | teased her, not letting her break free from my grasp yet.

“I'm not jealous,” she snapped at me, shoving her elbow into my chest.

“Aah,” | hissed in pain, the impact knocking the air out of my stomach and making me groan in pain.

“| underestimated your strength, | told her, noticing the tears welling up in her eyes.

“I'm the Alpha Queen so it’s natural for me to have strength and powers in my blood,” Matilda smirked, hiding her pain.

“You haven't answered my question yet,” | asked her again and her smirk vanished. She looked so serious as if she were about to break havoc on me and | wouldn’t even complain if she did that.

“Can you feel it, too?” Her pupils dilated but she was quick to put on that void of emotion face.

Suppressing my lips, | denied and her lips turned down slightly. Disappointment was visible on her face and it pained me to see her getting hurt but | couldn’t feel the pull of the mate bond yet. My wolf was so protective of her and he despised being touched by any other she-wolf. Even when | kissed and touched Lola, he was disgusted by that and was fighting with me to make me stop.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

| hated seeing any guy in her proximity, and | felt like | wanted her more than the air | breathed. | wanted her more than the sky needed the stars but | was too proud to admit that. We didn’t have a good start, after all.

“No, I’m a cursed wolf so | can’t but my wolf surfaces each time you touch me. He hates the other she-wolves,” | admitted and saw a smirk and suspicious stain of pink on her face. “Why didn’t you tell me the day you found out that | was your second chance mate?”

Matilda seized the fabric of her dress in her fists as | interrogated her. She was still uncomfortable with sharing the truth which made sense because | didn’t make efforts to make her feel at ease around me. | wasn’t a good mate to her.

“Because | didn’t feel like telling you,” she shrugged with a poker face. “I will not let my pups suffer from this. They deserve a father who can teach them to be faithful unlike you, who will teach my baby only bad things.” A burden lifted off my chest as she indirectly confirmed that it was my baby and that’s why | wanted to protect him or her.

Even when she told me that it was someone else’s, | couldn’t bring myself to hurt or hate the pup. Not even for once, the thought of killing the baby came across my mind which usually happened when the Alphas found their wives cheating on them. They would kill the baby and make the mother a sla ve.

| felt so happy and relieved after knowing the truth. My wife didn’t cheat on me. It was just me al this while. My heart was filled with joy and | didn’t know how to process such happiness.

“This is why | didn’t tell you that you were my fated mate because you couldn’t care less or maybe would have divorced me earlier. You told me that you hated the mate bond because it makes

you powerless and it gives your mate too much power over you so they can easily break you and hurt you while you become so helpless,” Matilda said in her raised voice, tears threatening to fall from

her eyes. No one could dare raise their voice at me but there she was. Breaking all the norms. “I'm sorry, Tila. I...” | paused, not knowing how to put it into words. “I was so stu pid and jealous of all the wolves who had their

fated mates and after being abandoned twice because of the mate bond, | couldn’t help but put my yearning for a fated mate as my hatred. | always wanted a fated. mate but the dilemma of being cursed didn’t allow me to feel that sparks, passion, pull, and love of the bond,” | said softly, framing her face in my hands and placing a deep kiss on her forehead.

“You have made me the happiest person alive after sharing this, Tila: I’m sorry for making you suffer and making you feel like | hated the fated mate whilst it was all | craved secretly,” | smiled, staring into her lilac eyes.

| didn’t even realize when a lone tear dropped from my eye and she wiped it away with her hands.

She cleared her throat and put some safe distance between us before folding her arms across her chest. “I haven't forgiven you for what you did, Prescott. You cheated on me and | saw that with my

bare eyes. You want to marry Lola and | will not tolerate that disrespect. This fated mate sh it changes nothing between us. | don’t trust you. You will again hurt me and | won't be like those she- wolves who endure their husbands marrying someone else.’ “I'm sorry, Tila. Please, forgive me,” | bowed to her and kneeled in front of her in an instant. She almost gasped in amazement, not expecting me to kneel to her.

“| don’t trust you, Prescott. You just keep hurting me,” she countered, composing herself. “I have decided that | will live in my palace and raise my baby by myself. | can’t reject you right now because it might hurt the baby but after giving birth to him, | will come back and reject you. You can marry as many she-wolves as you want for all | care.”

Her cold and adamant voice upset me a bit. | was trying hard to win her back but she was playing hard to get now which was justifiable since | did nothing to deserve her trust.

“There is no way I’m letting you go. Tila. I’m not marrying Lola or anyone else. | want my wife and my pup. | know that | have made huge mistakes in the past and caused you suffering but please, give me a second chance,” | begged her.

| had hurt her numerous times but not anymore. She was my wife and | had to honor her with my love and respect. | will make Lola understand that Matilda was the only woman whom | loved and | will put my past into the past.

Lola was just an attachment that could be easily replaced. She had left me for her fated mate and this time, | would leave her for my fated mate. Although | couldn’t feel the mate bond between us properly, my wolf’s instincts and sentiments about her were so true.

“Please, Tila. Just give me one month. | will prove to you that you’re the only one | want and you're the only woman | want by my side,” | pleaded with her again.

“Prescott,” Lola’s low voice appeared out of the blue and | found her standing at the door. “You're canceling our marriage? Don’t you love me?” She batted her eyelashes and started sobbing.

Matilda scoffed, turning her heel on but | quickly got up and stopped her from leaving by grabbing her hand.

“Yes, Lola. And remember that you're not allowed to enter my room. | want you to move to the packhouse and never enter the apartment without Matilda’s permission,” | told her in a cold voice.

Lola’s jaw dropped, she hadn't expected it. “I’m your first love, Mi Amore. You promised me that you would wait for me yet you married her. | didn’t say anything and accepted her wholeheartedly. can’t she do the same for you? You love both of us, Mi Amore. You can have both of us,” she cooed, cupping my cheeks.

| caught her hand and shoved it away. “Matilda is my fated mate, Lola and we're done. | don’t like to repeat myself so leave.” “That can’t be true,” she shook her head vigorously with a sad smile. “She is lying to you, Press. She was going to meet Dylan this evening. She is betraying you and planning to join hands with the Witch King because one kingdom is not enough for her. She wants a King as her husband, that’s why she wanted to leave you.”
