Escaping my arranged marriage with Alpha Prescott

Chapter 6

Matilda

His cedarwood scent invaded my nose and | couldn't help but still feel drawn to him. The mate bond between us caused me to feel worried for him and the desire to be wanted by my mate was back.

The tears threatened to fall from my eyes as | tried hard not to react to this. Isabel started crying loudly, knowing all too well that Alpha Prescott wasn’t someone to mess with. Everyone who stood in the garden of the Silver Claw pack knew that their Alpha was invincible and there was no way any Beta could kill him.

Gabriel's wolf tried to aim at his throat but was thrown away by my husband. Yes, my husband. This was my fate which | tried to escape but it was the time now to accept it and remind myself so | would feel nothing for the man who used me.

Mason ambled toward us furiously. “Who is this bas tar d?”

Prescott stepped down from the stage to follow Gabriel’s wolf. His powerful aura demanded submission from Gabriel. He tried to fight it but was forced to lower his gaze and head eventually in submission.

“He is Gabriel Cooper. The fated mate of my wife who betrayed her and assaulted her family and pack,” Prescott said, fixating his gaze on me which blazed golden of his wolf's eyes.

“End his life,” Mason commanded, “He doesn’t deserve to live.”

“No, please, no,” Isabel begged Mason, tears trickling down her cheeks. It was the first. time | saw her crying and | wouldn’t deny that it was satisfying because she had made me cry for years and left no chance to make my life a living hell.

| was standing on the stage like a statue, not being able to say or do anything because no matter how hard | tried to compose myself to hate him, the mate bond made it

impossible for me and | wondered why the Goddess made me so weak if she wanted. me to become the Queen.

Gabriel shifted back to his human form and there were scratches on his body from the hit he just took from Alpha Prescott. After all, he wasn’t called ruthless and the most powerful Alpha alive for nothing.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“She is mine,” Gabriel barked, looking into Prescott’s eyes. “I will become the Alpha King, not you. I’m her fated mate.”

late, Gabriel.

“Arrange the clothes for this as hole, Caleb. He is the special guest of tonight,” Prescott ordered his Beta who threw clothes at Gabriel.

“| will not let you have her. She is f uking mine,” Gabriel raised his hand to punch my husband who clenched his fist in his one hand and the sound of breaking of his bones reached my ears.

Gabriel hissed in pain and was thrown back to the ground. Prescott squatted and looked him dead in the eye and uttered, “Matilda is my wife. You were so stu pid to think that you could hide her from me when she was mine from the moment her father announced our marriage.”

My mate looked at me with contempt as if | had cheated on him and even if | had done, he wasn’t an innocent. He was having an affair with his Mistress and not only that, he chose to marry Isabel so | didn’t do anything wrong.

“How could you do this to me?” He accused me and | smirked, liking the pained expression on his face.

“Taste your own medicine, dear mate,” | finally spoke coldly, shrugging.

Alpha Prescott returned to the stage and cut his palm again with the dagger as our wound was already healed. | followed his lead and he had a firm handshake with me. My whole body felt a jolt of electricity running as the new pack link formed in my mind and a tattoo emerged on my elbow which glowed with a golden hue.

It was the sign that | was accepted as the Luna of the Silver Claw pack. Everyone bowed to us and | looked at my elbow. A butterfly carrying the claw of a wolf appeared above. the crown that | had since my birth which marked me as the Alpha Princess. “Hail to the Alpha and Luna,” people screamed with pride in the union. | smiled at them before taking Prescott’s shirt off which was part of the coronation ceremony.

He smirked when | felt uneasy, having him standing half-naked before me while the girls gawked at their Alpha’s toned body and six-pack abs which seemed hard as rock shamelessly. | glared at one of them and they held their heads low, feeling embarrassed.

I sat on the throne and Prescott sat beside me, holding my waist. Goddess, this man was so obsessed with my waist and wouldn't hesitate for a second before wrapping his hands. around me.

| wished the coronation ceremony would have been held under different circumstances and my parents would have been here to crown me as the Queen but now that he was not here, Mason was the only elder and eligible person to place the crown on my head.

He approached us with a proud smile and the crown in his hands. Prescott had tried to find my family but Gabriel had hidden them somewhere away from the pack.

Mason placed the crown on my head first and then, on his son’s head. We exchanged our pledges again and a crown, identical to mine, formed on Prescott’s elbow beneath his Alpha tattoo.

“Long live the King.”

“Long live the Queen.”

People put their right hands on their chests and kneeled to us, bowing in respect. Mason congratulated us and | looked at Gabriel with a face void of emotions. The muscles in his jaw tensed as a wave of fury washed over him.

“Reject him,” Alpha Prescott commanded, tightening his grip on my body.

| looked at my mate and grabbed Prescott’s face in my hands before pressing my lips. against his. His hands caressed my back before his lips started moving along mine, kissing me back and | found myself deepening the kiss.

When we both panted for the air, we parted our lips and he looked at me with those mysterious misty gray eyes which had a strange emotion in them that | couldn’t detect. The way he looked at me made me blush so | got up from the throne and walked toward Gabriel who was throwing daggers at me.

“I, Matilda Spencer, Alpha Queen, reject you, Gabriel Cooper, as my fated mate,” | said. coldly, my eyes bloodshot from the pain as the memories of the past few years that | spent in his pack being humiliated flashed through my mind.

“| will not accept your rejection. You can’t reject me, Matilda. You love me, I’m your fated mate,” he tried to manipulate me with his puppy eyes like the time when he made. me believe that he loved me and he was worthy of giving up on my royal identity. Waving my hand, | scoffed. “Gone is the girl who was a lover. I’m the wounded Alpha Queen now who seeks only revenge.” “Accept her rejection,” Alpha Prescott demanded, letting his dominating aura force him.

When Gabriel didn’t respond, Prescott grabbed his throat and blocked his windpipe with his grasp on my heart squeezed as | still felt worried for Gabriel.

| just wanted to gets throat. M..

me.

“| don’t like to repeat myself. Accept her rejection or lose your life which isn’t worth it anyway,” Alpha threatened him before letting him go.

Galmel coughed “1.1, Gabriel Conper, accept your rejection”

Asharp pain vibrated through my body and | clenched my fits by my side not to let it show on my face while Gabriel dropped to the floor, clutching his chest.

“Take them to the dungeon and hold them as prisoners,” He commanded to his

Ga mma who had a cold smirk on his face.

Probably the men in the Silver Claw pack enjoyed the violence. The bulky man forced Gabriel to follow him while Isabel started screaming. “Leave me alone. I’m the Alpha’s daughter. Don’t lay your filthy finger on my body”

“Trust me, given a choice, | wouldn’t even want to see your ugly face, Gam ma Jericho's snarky reply almost had me giggling. No one dared to say anything mean to Isabel in the Silver Claw pack but here, she was prisoner and | liked that

My vision became blurry as the pain empowered my senses and | was about to pass out when strong muscular hands held me and his earthy-mossy oak scent assailed my nostrils.

“Mate, my wolf howled with ecstasy, relishing the sparks that shot through my body and my hands jerked but there were no sparks or acknowledgment from him which meant that he didn’t feel the mate bond.

Alpha Prescott was my second chance mate but he was rumored to be cursed not to have a fated mate. What game did fate want to play with me again by giving me a second chance mate who couldn't even feel the bond between us?
