Chapter 15 Prescott
Matilda stepped forward, feeling a surge of frustration. “Prescott, | have nothing to do with this. | just found out that my uncle has turned against us. He’s allied with the daughter of a rogue Alpha, and he wanted my father to hate me.”
| scrutinized her in disappointment. “I’m not accusing you, Matilda. | told you to let me come with you but you didn’t listen to me and you don’t know how dangerous and malicious your uncle is. He could hurt you, babe.”
My wolf was protective of her and didn’t want her to be alone so anyone could take advantage of her. Her eyes widened in surprise and she bit her lips in guilt. She needed.
to learn to trust me.
Alpha Sheldon told me everything about Liam and his rogue mate. | was so outraged after finding out that she had escaped from our wedding, disrespecting me and her father but after knowing Liam’s plan, | was glad that she escaped.
Everything started making sense. Why would Liam meet the rogue Alpha and help him? Of course, because of his fated mate whom he wanted at any cost though that has cost many innocent people’s lives.
But | wouldn’t let him harm my mate. I'll kill that motherfu*ker. | hated rogues and as long as | was alive, | would never let a rogue become the Alpha Queen which was my wife’s birthright.
‘Isabel’s father has come and he wants to meet you alone in private, Beta Caleb informed me.
| took my leave from there after alerting the guards on pack boundaries and arranging my most trusted guards outside our room to protect Matilda. And for once, she obeyed me instead of arguing with me like always.
The ars*hole had called me multiple times but | had ignored him. No one dared to come to meet me in my pack without an appointment so he must be either an overconfident fool or a wise Alpha who had something
to offer that would make me want to listen to him.
Either way, | was curious to know what he had to say. | hadn’t forgotten how much he had made my mate suffer so | wouldn’t let that pass anyway. | wasn’t a forgiving or kind
man. “Alpha Prescott,” Vincent bowed to me, offering me his best fake smile.

“Hello, Alpha King, his voice sounded familiar. “I hope that you remember your allies.” his comment reminded me that he was the one who helped us get all the information in the Lunar pack
Hadn’t u been for him. | might haven’t found Matilda yet. Vincent’s bastard son. “Of cose. And they’re rewarded from time to time.” | smirked, taking his stretched hand and giving it a firm shake. “I'm glad to know that. Alpha King, he sneered.
My lips twitched into a small smile. “Caleb, make sure that everyone knows about the latest news of Cole’s being the legitimate child of Alpha Vincent.”
Alpha Vincent didn’t like the news but he knew better than arguing with me. | made an illegitimate child a legitimate child who could easily take over his father’s post. A threat to his own post.
Cole looked happy and relieved after hearing my announcement. Little did he know, he was going to be used as my spy on his father.
“I'll cut to the chase and tell you right away about the thing you're looking for. Alpha Vincent stated with a mischievous grin on his face.
“How do you know what I’m looking for? | gave him a skeptical glance after taking a sip from my glass of wine.
“| have my resources as well. Alpha Prescott, he smirked and added. “I know where Liam is.” Vincent spoke carefully, trying to be on his best behaviorContent protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
What the hell are you both doing here Matilda barged into my office and growled. throwing daggers at father and son’s duo “| can ask the same from you” Cole smirked, staring at Matilda’s cleavage.
Alow growl escaped through my chest and | looked at my mate who had fear written all over her face. | hated anyone else’s eyes on something that was mine
“Cole, why don’t you quit the habit of looking at something that’s not yours! Vincent gave a pointed look to his son. “| thought that we were talking in private. Alpha Prescott.” Cole pressed his lips innocently.
“She is my mate and wife so she isn’t going anywhere. | retorted firmly, holding Matilda’s waist possessively. She was fucking mine.
“I'll not talk in front of this bith. Vincent yelled out. glaring at my wife.
“Watch your tone, Vincent. | don’t tolerate anyone disrespecting my mate,” | snarled at him.
“Fine,” He muttered and | sighed in relief.
“What do you want in return?” | was so effing curious to know what he wanted from me in exchange.
“You release Isabel from your prison and I'll tell you where Liam exactly is,” Alpha Vincent offered and looked at my father who had a scowl etched on his face.
“| can find Liam on my own. | don’t need your help,” | remarked, smirking at him. mockingly. He was such a fool to imagine that | was going to agree with his offer.
“Your rogue spy would never get to know that information, Alpha Prescott,” Cole intertwined and my fists were itching to wipe that nasty smirk off his ugly face.
“Address him as the Alpha King, bastard,” my Beta put him in his place. Cole wanted to attack him but he knew that it would only make him lose the thing he so badly wanted. The title and legitimacy.
But how did he know about the rogue whom we did not let anyone else see? Perhaps he had some more connections with the other Alphas or he was having a spy in my pack.
| had given more than a decade to this pack to ensure that they had better lives than the other werewolves yet they betrayed
their own Alpha. My beast was raging, bloodthirsty of the member who betrayed me.
“We can make this deal if you release my daughter from the cell as soon as possible. You can keep Gabriel for as long as you want and do whatever you want to him. He’ll be completely at your disposal but | want Isabel out. She is innocent in all this. Gabriel promised
Everything she wanted and my poor daughter fell for it,” Alpha Vincent cagerly explained, putting his points.
“She’s not innocent. She made me suffer and abused me,” Matilda spat. ‘Tm
sorry, Alpha Queen. My daughter was in love with Gabriel. She did everything that he told her to do,” Vincent calmly said, putting on a fake remorse facade.
“Isabel is a mature she—wolf, not a teenager so we can’t let go of the crimes she committed. Abusing someone is a crime and she'll be punished for it,” my father put hist opinion in a stern voice.
“Gabriel is the culprit here, Alpha Mason. Please, | beg you to show mercy on my innocent daughter,” he begged, holding my father’s feet.
Vincent was desperate to get this deal done. | needed to know where Liam was so |

considered his deal though | wouldn’t let that fu*ker have his
way.
“Isabel will be out of the cell only but she will live in the Silver Claw pack till my next order.” | declared, putting my condition. Matilda looked at me in disbelief, not expecting me to agree with him. She was mad at me but said nothing.
“Alright. | agree,” Alpha Vincent sighed and stood up to leave.
