Escaping my arranged marriage with Alpha Prescott

Chapter 17

Chapter 17 Prescott

The marks of someone’s nails on Matilda’s neck infuriated my wolf. It sure as hell looked as the marks a wolf would give while fu*king a she—-wolf but my mate would never cheat on me.

Whoever did that to my wife had called a war upon themselves. There was no way that | wd let it slide. Scars for scars. “No one,” she lied, stealing her gaze from me.

| grabbed her chin and made her look into my eyes. “Don’t lie to me, Tila. Tell me or I'll find it my way and it won’t be good for the person you're trying to protect.”

“I'm not trying to protect him,” she countered furiously, her eyes blazing golden mixed with lilac. “Then, tell me,” | wooed her, cupping her cheeks to calm her down.

“| can fight my battles on my own. There was no term in the contract that you'll have to protect me,” my mate retorted icily before turning her heels on and | let her go.

| mind-linked my Beta to check the CCTV footage and he informed me who it was.

The beast inside me wanted to rip his heart out but a quick death would be a mercy on

him. | walked toward the packhouse and kicked the door of his room.

The bastard was fuc’ing a girl who ran away after covering herself with the sheet as soon as she saw me. “How dare you lay your filthy hands on my mate?” | growled thunderously after punching him in the face.

“| didn’t do it. She might be cheating on you with Gabriel. She has been begging me to fu*k her since she was in the Lunar pack. You may ask Isabel. She was punished several times for throwing herself on me by my sister but | kept refusing her,” Cole said hastily and earned another punch from me.

| strangled his throat and his feet dangled in the air. The fu*ker was lying to me. She had been so in love with her fated mate that she endured all the pain he put her through. Matilda would never cheat on her mate.

It made me feel so jealous of Gabriel because he was her first love and she gave up on Chapter 17 her royal title and everything just to be with her.

He was such a dimwit to have another woman while having Matilda. | would never look at another woman after having such a mate who would love me like her.

| would give up on my everything to become her fated mate so | could experience the love he neglected. | would honor her, love her, cherish her, treat her like the Queen she was, and make her the happiest woman in the entire universe.

If she had been that desperate to get fu*ked, she wouldn’t have put that stupid clause in our contract.

It bothered me so much and | hated to admit that. It hurt my Alpha ego that she didn’t want me, unlike the other women who begged to sleep with me just for one night.

Fuck it. | will make her mine. “Please, leave him, Alpha. He will die,” Caleb stepped between us and tried to calm me down.

“Burn the left side of his face that should leave a nasty scar for his whole life and cut both of his hands so he will never be able to touch a woman again,” | ordered my Beta and kicked the bastard who was now at my feet, begging me for mercy.

“Alpha Prescott, please, trust me. Gabriel never loved her because she was so cheap,” Cole said hastily. He fu*king dared to abuse my wife and told me lies straight to my face.

| crouched down to his level and grabbed his jaw in my hand. “I trust my wife more than a filthy bastard so shut the fu*k up or I'll rip your tongue out with my bare hands.”

It wasn’t just a threat. | meant that. | wasn’t called ruthless for nothing.

Cole didn’t open his mouth while my men forced him to walk along with them.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Alpha Prescott,” Avery called out when | was going to my floor. “Can | have a chat with you?” “Of course,” | nodded slightly and followed her to the kitchen.

“Have you figured out about Uncle Liam?” She asked with a curious gaze.

“Vincent will tell me

that.

tomorrow where he is,” | said grimly, not expecting her to ask me

“| didn’t mean that,” she tsked, “I know that you'll find him. What will you do with him

Ill

after finding him? Will you execute him or rip his heart or eyeballs or any other body part?”

She said those brutal things with a straight face as if it were a joke to her. When | stared at her in awe, she wiggled her brows, expecting me to answer.

“That will be my Queen’s decision,” | retorted back with sincerity.

Asmall smile twitched on my lips as | called her my Queen for the first time.

“You're blushing,” Avery giggled.

“No. I’m not,” | said defensively, furrowing my brows.

“| knew you wouldn’t admit so | took your picture,” she cracked up again, showing me the picture. “You look good smiling, Alpha Prescott. You just need a woman to teach you how to smile and tame that aggressive wolf of yours.”

My wolf wagged his tail in response like a puppy. The wolf who never submitted to anyone before wanted to be tamed by our chosen mate.

Avery and | chatted more about Liam and she told me what Matilda liked and what she disliked.

She was a nice and mature girl, she wasn’t scared of me like others who couldn’t even look into my eyes. | took my leave from there to discuss some important things with my Beta and Gamma, so | strolled toward the office.

“Who the hell do you think you are?” My spoiled wife put her hands on her hips as soon as she saw me entering the office.

“You are dismissed,” | told my boys. “I’m not spending enough time with my wife so she had to come to my office to talk to me,” | teased her.

“Sure, Alpha.” they smirked at me before leaving us alone..

“I'm your husband, your chosen mate, and your Alpha. You said in front of everyone, remember?” | shrugged, stifling a chuckle. She looked so cute when she was mad at me.

“That was just for the show, part of the contract,” Matilda replied coldly. Couldn’t she forget about that stupid contract?

“You're mine, Silver, and whoever dares hurt my wife, will pay for it with his own. blood.” | was obsessed with calling her Silver because | wanted to bury my fingers in her

hair. Chapter 17

“You don’t own me. If | wanted his face half—burned, | would have done that a long time ago, you psychopath,” she scolded me, shaking her head.

“l own you, Matilda. Your body, your heart, your soul, your loyalty, everything is fu*king mine.” | told her sincerely, holding her in my arms and kissing her neck.

“You're sick,” she shricked and pushed me away. “You're my cure.” | smiled at her and her heart started racing.
