Escaping my arranged marriage with Alpha Prescott

Chapter 116

Prescott

The darkness in the atmosphere was palpable. Owen had gotten sick again as the dark energy was affecting him more than anyone else. Avery’s training was pretty much done but Owen wanted her to take over after the war and Camilla also didn’t want her to be Chaplain right away.

She insisted that it should happen after her eighteenth birthday and Owen didn’t respond to it. We didn’t know for how long he could keep up with his damaged body so everyone kept their mouth shut as we could already see the changes in his body.

“| can’t quite put my finger on it, but whenever | glance at Alpha Elijah, there’s this strange sensation that he’s harboring a secret beneath his mysterious facade,” Tila murmured, putting her head on my shoulder.

| turned my gaze from the view outside the window to her and wrapped my arm around her waist, pulling her closer. Her mesmerizing lavender scent calmed my anxious nerves as my wolf was agitated and prowling in my mind for some unknown reason.

“He is naive and still young so he doesn’t know how to act in front of the elders. Besides his doubtful questions, | feel no threat from him,” | said, sensing her fear of trusting people.

After tasting the bitter betrayal from people around her, my mate had turned rather suspicious. She was having trust issues and | couldn’t blame her for that. After all, all the people around her had either betrayed her or kept things from her. Even | was one of them... But | was glad that she had forgiven me.

“No, it’s not just that. The way he looks at us... There is something weird, love,” she pouted her lips, looking up at me.

| couldn't restrain myself from kissing those plump lips so | held her chin and captured her lips in a deep passionate kiss. She eased up and kissed me back with the same passion, exploring every corner of my mouth with her tongue and so did

I.

In a dazzling display, a beam of light cut through the sky, while the thunderous roar of clouds filled the air, shaking the windows and sending a vase crashing to the floor. Tila pulled away herself first and gasped, her hands flying to her mouth.

The dark smoke was rushing inside from around the borders. We could see it as we

were standing at the window from where the borders were visible, not clearly but we could point it out.

He will

‘He has come,’ Owen informed through the link. try to go to Dylan so one of you should go to the cell and make sure that Dylan doesn’t get his potion of dark powers from Satan.

Riya should come back with his soul or else we would be in deep trouble with two monsters to fight against.

‘| will go and deal with the Satan. You should go to Dylan and reject him before he gets to see Satan. Take Lola with you,” | told Tila who shook her head, making me frown. “Stop being stubborn, Tila,” | scolded her, knowing what she was going to

say next.

“Let me go and meet that f ucking devil. You and Lola should go to Dylan,” she protested sternly.

“Don’t you want to reject him? Or are you considering being his mate?” | countered, narrowing my eyes at her.

Tila rolled her eyes. “Of course, | want to reject him,” she sighed heavily, and her shoulders slumped as she spoke, “Fine, let’s go then.”

‘Alpha, the warriors on the north borders are all dead. Their bodies have no sign of scars or injuries, not even poison. Their bodies are pale and the area beneath their eyes is darkened, hollows resembling withered, blackened vines,’ one of the Ga mmas reported, his voice filled with terror.

‘lm coming there. Alert everyone and make sure that women and children are safe,’ | commanded. Owen had already informed everyone to empty the palace and go to the borders to protect the pack for as long as we could.

| shifted into my wolf form and galloped toward the north borders to examine the bodies of the dead warriors.

“Don’t waste your time on that. No one can trace Satan’s attacks or his presence. One can only rely on the aura of darkness because wherever he would be, the air would be thick with darkness,” Amelia, one of the High Witches told me as soon as she saw my wolf.

Her voice was clear and urgency in her-tone showed that she wanted me to follow her suggestion so | stopped and looked in all the directions.

“South,” she murmured exactly when | received another link from the Gam maNôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

that the warriors guarding the southern borders were dead as well. None of them. was alive.

“You should go to the East now. | have a hunch that he will attack the eastern border now,” Finn, another High-Witch said and | howled before heading to the

East.

My paws thundered against the cool earth as | trotted toward Satan, my heart pounding in my chest in anticipation of finally having an encounter with him. Avery’s vision had told me one thing clearly that we were bound to face each other and | was destined to fight that f ucking Go d of the Darkness.

The rage inside me was fueling my power. | wasn’t scared of that f ucking devil even though he was scary and | didn’t know how | would kill him. | knew one thing that | was going to kill him to protect my people and a King is never scared of

wars.

“Hello, Alpha King,” a voice called out, a voice dripping with danger and threats that sent chills down my spine.

| let out a thunderous growl and turned my head in the direction where he was standing. Surprisingly, he didn’t look ugly or scary. He was handsome with a six feet five inches tall figure, sharp jawline, and crimson eyes. His black curly locks covered his forehead, falling in front of his eyes. He didn’t look as old as Owen, he hardly looked thirty years old but | knew that he was immortal so he had been alive for centuries.

“Why fight him when I’m the one you want dead?” Owen’s low yet firm voice appeared and soon he was standing beside me. “Don’t you want to know how | entered this f ucking holy place?” Satan hissed and then, chuckled devilishly.

“Where is Riya?” Owen asked, shaking in anger as his eyes blazed with fire.

“Good and pure souls belong to the heaven.” His lips pulled into a nasty smirk.

Owen's calming aura changed to a smoldering one as his eyes flashed golden. “You don’t belong here. You belong to the shadows and | will send you back there.”

He shifted into his wolf form and lunged forward at Satan, launching himself at him furiously. Owen pounced his jaw directly at his face and succeeded in making his red eyes bleed. Satan’s legs stag gered as Owen had caught him off guard. With a sudden grip on Owen’s neck, he sent him soaring into the air.
