Escaping my arranged marriage with Alpha Prescott

Chapter 91

Matilda

My wolf didn’t want to see her for obvious reasons, she threatened me that if anything went south, she would rip her to shreds without waiting for my approval. | didn’t argue with her and agreed with her.

| wasn’t in favor of keeping that bi tch alive for a long time either. There was a reason why | hadn't ordered her execution yet. Avery and Caleb were wise enough to keep her as the captive in the most secured cells which only Prescott had access.

Even | wasn't allowed down there earlier but now that we had confessed our love for each other. Prescott didn’t mind. He wanted to join me but | insisted that | go alone. Although he wanted to accompany me and protect me from that b itch, he didn’t argue with me and showed his trust in me. And that’s what | needed from him, to trust me that | was capable of handling the matters alone.

My feet echoed through the cold wooden floor as | shuffled toward the prison where | had seen at rogue last time. The smell of fresh lily wafted through my nostrils, making my little sister’s presence known to me.

| could smell the faint scent of Caleb, too, as | walked ahead and soon, saw him running toward me with a weary expression on his face. His eyes were swollen and the dark circles beneath his icy blue eyes were too prominent, telling me he hadn't slept or rested.

“Luna, are you alright?” He asked, his heart thudding in his chest. | had never seen him scared but now when-! smelled fear from him, | felt a pang of guilt in my heart.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Avery was nearby, | could smell her scent and assumed that she was keeping an eye on Fiona, nol leaving her alone for a single moment. She had grown up and as much as it made me feel proud of her, | felt bad for not being strong enough to be able to protect her. She didn’t deserve this, she was too young to carry the burden of the responsibilities on her young shoulders but fate had different plans for her...

“Luna?” He asked again when | didn’t respond, looking at me with concern.

my throat constricted as | tried to speak, trapped by the tumult of emotions roiling within me so | simply nodded my head profusely, fighting back the tears.

“I'm sorry, Luna. It all happened because of me. | shouldn’t have ignored the signs. I’m sorry for disappointing Alpha and you.” He lowered his head, not daring to look into my eyes as guilt consumed him.

Inhaling a deep breath, | controlled my emotions and put on a brave front. | was the Luna of this pack, | had to be strong in front of my pack members. Caleb was the most loyal pack member and above that, he was the best Beta any Alpha could ask for. | couldn't let him feel like he disappointed

“It was neither your nor Serena’s fault. You shouldn’t be hard on her either. She would never even think of harming me, let alone putting that into action. It was all Lola’s doing, her f ucking spell and magic,” | said softly, placing my hand on his shoulder.

He looked up at me with blurry eyes. “Your mate bond...” he paused, clenching his fists by his sides before adding, “I will never be able to forgive myself. You should strip me of my title and rank. | don’t deserve to be this pack’s Beta anymore. My Alpha and Luna’s mate bond broke because of

“Take me to Serena, please.” | requested, and he led me to the last cell. Fiona could attempt her fake suicide later, but | needed to see and free my best friend first.

He stood a few blocks away from the cell and handed me the key. | didn’t force him to follow me, he needed some time to face Serena. The poor boy really loved her, | wish she could reciprocate his love. It ached my heart to see him in so much pain, it reminded me of the time when | felt so unloved and unwanted by my mate. Caleb had always pretended to be the cool and funny guy, hiding his pain beneath that grumpy facade.

“|

respect your choice, Caleb but | want to give you just one advice don’t shut her off. Try to communicate with her and apologize to her. She didn’t betray me deliberately,” | asserted, giving him a small smile.

Caleb didn’t say anything but nodded his head while keeping his gaze glued to the floor. | saw Prescott approaching us from behind him and heaved a sigh of relief.

I'm here, babe. You can rest assured, now.’ Prescott’s voice eased my mind, like a gentle breeze cutting through chaos. | smiled at him before turning my heels on to free my best friend.

“Serena,” | whispered, seeing her sitting on the cold floor with her hands wrapped around her. knees. She hugged herself as the tears cascaded down her face as she sniffled slowly, not looking at

She closed her eyes and started weeping, hiding her face in her knees. She had heard me but she didn’t dare to look me in the eye. | opened the lock and immediately pulled her in a hug, patting her back gently as she wept, throwing her arms around me. “I'm so sorry, Matilda. I’m so sorry” Serena apologized while sobbing, “I betrayed you. | put your life in danger by helping Fiona. | caused you your mate bond with the Alpha. | don’t deserve your friendship, Luna. I’m such a terrible person.”

Her voice was so low and broken, it pained me to see her in this state. | despised the witches, their magic could destroy a person completely yet they used their f ucking spells to manipulate the innocents and make them do the things they would never do even in their worst dreams.

“It wasn’t you, it was Lola's magic, Serena. Stop blaming yourself for the crime you didn’t commit,” | scolded her, knowing all too well that she wouldn't listen to me if | didn’t talk to her firmly though it hurt me every time they mentioned my mate bond.

“| wanted to tell you that she was probing my mind and had made me her sl ave but | just couldn't.” she whispered in a barely audible voice that if it hadn’t been for my werewolf hearing powers. | wouldn’t have heard her at all.

“First of all, stop crying now. Forget everything else and take a rest. We will head to my pack within a few hours and | need my girls to help me with the preparation of my crown ceremony. | cheered her up, wiping the tears off her face with my hands and smiling widely at her.

“How could you be so kind to forgive me?” She asked, her bottom lip quivered as she sniffled.

| rolled my eyes and forced her to get up with me. “Anyone could be in your place, Serena. Even Prescott was under Lola’s spell so it’s not your mistake. Besides, you should be happy for your Alpha and Luna, they are going to be crowned as the Alpha King and Queen tomorrow. Shouldn't you be happy for my big day?” | batted my eyelashes, poking her shoulder lightly.

Asmile tugged on her lips as she held my hands. “I’m... I’m so happy for both of you,” she paused, her smile suddenly faltered as her aura became tinged with fear. “I’m not sure if I’m a safe person to be around. Lola could still have a grip on me and use me against you.

“We will figure it out. Don’t you worry,” | reassured her. “Now, go and take a rest. | need to deal with that b itch,” my voice turned bitter as | remembered how she was trying to seduce my mate.

“Um, can | have a word with you?” Caleb asked Serena when we both got out of the cell.

“He loves you, silly. Don’t play too hard to get. | teased her through the link and her cheeks flushed. She went ahead with him while Prescott asked me if | wanted him to join me and | denied his offer. | didn’t want that wh ore to even have a glance at my mate. St upid Alpha. He couldn’t even understand that | wanted to protect him from her.

sister and the Queen.

“You finally came,” Fiona interrupted us and | shot her a murderous glance before walking closer to her. She was sitting on the iron chair and her hands and feet were tied with silver chains. | saw bruises on her face and looked at Avery who smiled coyly at me as if | had caught her kissing a boy.

Alow chuckle escaped through my lips as our eyes talked and confirmed that she had punched her a few times. She was supposed to be kind and gentle as a chaplain but she was turning into savage.

“She killed Uncle Liam herself because he didn’t kill you and make her the Queen. Uncle was under the effect of the dark magic, too,” Avery filled me in, and my eyes blazed fire.

Fiona was the rogue Alpha’s daughter, Uncle Liam’s mat, for whom he hurt me and was planning to kill me but he couldn't because his heart would never let him do that no matter what. He sacrificed himself to protect me.

“How could you be so cruel and kill your own mate for just the sake of power and a position that was never yours?” | spat venomously, glowering at her.

“He promised to make me the Alpha Queen right after killing you but he broke his promise and there is only one punishment for breaking promises in my law- death,” she let out a sinister laugh that was grating on my nerves.

“Why don’t you avenge your dear uncle’s death by killing me?” Fiona smirked, challenging me.

| was so tempted to kill her but | restrained my wolf from taking over. “I’m sure that you didn’t threaten to kill yourself to provoke me to kill you.”

“You're smart,” she remarked, shaking her head. “Dylan wants to take revenge on you and nothing can stop him from doing so but as the Alpha Queen, it’s your duty to protect all the wolves and do everything in your power to stop the war as it will cost a lot of wolves their lives so sacrifice your love and end the war.”

“What do you mean, bi tech?” Avery snapped, punching her square in the jaw.

“You're too hot-tempered to become a Chaplain,” Fiona hissed in pain, glaring at Avery menacingly.

| grabbed Avery’s elbow and pulled her away, standing in front of her and shielding her from that bit ch. | didn’t want Avery to get infected by whatever hidden poison or power she might be carrying.

“Dylan will stop the war if I'm the Alpha Queen and Prescott is my King since we don't have bad blood with him unlike you,” Fiona said, scrutinizing me. “The war is happening because of you only so if you leave Prescott and submit yourself to Dylan, you can save all the werewolves.”

Her words made my head spin for a second. Did she really ask me to leave my mate and let her take over my position and claim everything that belonged to me?

But then, as the Alpha Queen, it was my duty to put my people’s interests before me and save every wolf's life at any cost. The Moon Goddess must be playing games with me because it was going to cost me my love, my mate... My everything. Because he was my everything. For once, | could give up on my royal title and position but giving up on my mate....?

| felt like she had asked me to extract my heart and present it to her on a golden plate. My mind was in turmoil, not able to decide if | should listen to her or not.

“Matty, you're not going to listen to that bit ch. She is just trying to manipulate you.” Avery seized my elbows and shook me to bring me out of my thoughts.
