Prescott
| was about to follow her when Lola entered my room and hugged me. She was so worried about me.
“I'm relieved to see you healed, Press,” Lola held my back tightly. “I can’t believe that she is fighting with you in this condition.” “She is just mad at me. It'll be fine once she gets to know that you're happy with your mate,” | told her, patting her hair. “Prescott, we need to talk, Dad sent the message via link.
“You should go to your room and take a rest. We will talk tomorrow,” | pulled her away, wiped her tears, and kissed her forehead. “There is something | need to tell you, too,” she replied and left after kissing my cheek.
| marched toward Dad’s room and found my Beta and Gam ma there with him.
“Alpha,” they greeted me.
“The rogues entered the territory with the help of an insider,” Dad said grimly.
| didn’t expect one more traitor in my pack.
“My warriors who were patrolling tonight were killed by poison,” Jericho informed.
“One of the warriors who survived said that Lola was the last person whom he saw before passing out,” Caleb said to which my blood boiled.
We grew up together. How could he even think that Lola would do something like that?
Dad read my mind as he said, “We are not blaming her. We're just worried and want to be cautious when we have a lot of enemies and she has returned from the outside world out of the blue.”
“| suggest that we call her and investigate her. The rogues were fighting with otherworldly strength so it’s important to dig into the matter,” Caleb suggested with a poker face.
“She has just returned. Let her sleep for now. We may ask her what she saw tomorrow,” | told firmly, not wanting to argue further. The Secret to Making Mora Maney with Loss Effort: Laser Cutting

Caleb and Jericho left after bowing to me. Dad must have mind-linked them to leave us alone.
“Just because | was silent during this stu pid conversation, don’t assume that I'll listen to you,” | warned him.
| knew my father. He never liked Lola for Goddess knew what reason. He was the happiest when he got to know that Lola was leaving the pack to stay with her mate.
“| heard what happened at the hospital while | was busy taking care of the attack that we survived,” he turned his face toward the wall.
“| would like to have some privacy, Dad. | never asked you why you didn’t accept anyone else after Mom. | respected and admired your love for Mom and just like that, | love Lola,” | said, looking at my mom’s big photo frame hanging in his room.
He let out a low growl. “You're married now, Prescott. | didn’t look at any other woman after marrying your mother.”
“I'm not keeping Lola as my Mistress so rest assured. | won't be unfair to Matilda. | love her, too,” | confessed. There was no point in hiding things from him..
“What the f uck are you saying? Are you in your senses? You can’t love two women at the same time. You have to let go of your feelings for Lola,” Dad threw his decision at me.
“What if you can’t choose one from them?” | asked in a low voice.
Deep down, | knew that it wasn’t the right thing to do but Lola was different.
“You don’t deserve Matilda. That girl had never looked back to her past after marrying you. Let her
go if you can’t treat her right,” Dad moved his hands to his back.
How could he say that to his own son? The thought alone of living without her seemed like a punishment | couldn’t bear.
“Had anyone else said that, | would have ripped his heart,” | barked, hating to spend one more second in his presence.
“No one else can tell you that except me. | pity her for having a husband like you,” my father snarled at me.
| left his room before my wolf would lose his control. He was so possessive and protective of Matilda. He never responded like that to Lola.
His words frustrated me more because as much as | hated to admit that he was right, |

| went into the kitchen, took out the cake | had made for my wife when she was. sleeping, and went inside our room.
She was in the shower so | grabbed the gift from the cupboard and waited for her to
come out.
“What are you doing here?” She snapped, throwing her towel at my face.
“You can’t throw me out of my room, can you?” | smirked, lighting the candle on the cake.
“Come here, let’s celebrate your birthday,” | said after holding her hand.
“| said don’t touch me with your filthy hands,” she yelled, “Go to your wh ore. You can stop pretending now. Your father believes that you married me for love and | got. revenge on my ex so it’s better to part ways now.”
Her words enraged me. How could she not see that | still came to her instead of Lola? Was she blind to seeing my love?
“You want a divorce from me?” | muttered in disbelief.
“Yes. I’m not interested in playing anymore. | already have asked your Beta to prepare papers,” she told me coldly after blowing the candle.
“And why do you think that | will listen to you and do as you say?” | countered co ckily.
Matilda took the plate from my hand and shoved the cake on my face. “You can’t make me obey you. I’m not your sI av e. Are you delusional enough to think that I'll endure your infidelity?”
“Are you crazy?” | growled, intimidating her. “I made this cake for you and

| went into the washroom to clean my face and returned to see her packing her bags.
“You're not going anywhere. You're my wife and you will stay with me,” | told her coldly.
“| can’t be an option for you. I’d rather choose my self-respect and walk away before it’s too late,” she said, without turning her face to see me.
“You're not getting a divorce from me. That shi t will not happen even over my dead body. My soul will haunt you and keep you mine even after my death,” | promised her.
