Escaping my arranged marriage with Alpha Prescott

Chapter 59

Matilda

His lustful gaze made me feel so hot that | wanted to remove my towel and jump on him.

Ugh. How could | think of him that way right after telling him in his face that | was pregnant with someone else’s child?

He had masked his emotions but | could feel his anger and sadness through our bond. Only if | could tell him that he was my second chance mate but | knew that he would reject me right after knowing the truth and | feared the pain it would bring upon my unborn child.

| walked toward my walk-in wardrobe, feeling his gaze piercing my back and checking out my as.

“Per vert,” | muttered under my breath and quickly got dressed in a summer off- shoulder dress that reached my mid-thighs. “Women are the most confusing creatures. If we check them out, we are per ve rts and if we check out other women, we are cheaters,” he fussed dramatically.

“| heard you,” | told him, standing before him with my hands on my hips.

“Me, too,” he said casually, signing some papers on the desk. “Sign it,” he demanded, throwing papers in my face.

I scrunched my brows, taking papers from him and reading them. “Divorce papers?” | asked in disbelief.

“| have signed them already for you,” he said coldly, his gaze was as cold as ice.

He was setting me free from this forced marriage. | should feel happy that | was getting my freedom back but my heart was surrounded with hollow grief as if he had stabbed. my heart with a silver-coated knife.

Nodding my head slightly, | cleared my throat and put on a face devoid of emotions. “I will sign them after reading them. My baby is hungry | haven't taken supper yet so I’m. going to the kitchen,” | told him and before he could respond, | turned my heels on. | bolted toward the kitchen and sat on the floor, clamping my mouth with my hands to shut my voice as | broke into a so b. My mind was in turmoil, not ready to accept the situation as it was. | hadn’t expected him to divorce me that easily.

Using the excuse of being famished, | had escaped from signing those papers but |

knew that | couldn’t neglect them forever.

F uck. | wanted a divorce. | was so ready for it. Then, why was it hurting like hell? My heart was writhing in pain, not able to withstand the indirect rejection from my fatel

mate.

My wolf yearned for Prescott, she was desperate to tell him the truth that he was my second-chance mate but the way his suspicious cyes accused me, all the hopes of being loved and accepted by him flung out the window.

He didn’t want me. He didn’t want a female Alpha even as his wife. He wanted someone weak and less powerful than him who could be intimidated by him and would submit to him willingly whilst the Alpha in me didn’t allow me to submit.

My wolf was born to be dominating, submissive wasn’t in our nature. Once again, my family background caused me anguish that would take forever to heal.

“Poor Alpha Queen,” | heard Lola’s fake sympathetic voice. She tsked and stood in front. of me.

Wiping my tears instantly, | peered into her icy blue eyes with disdain.

“The act of being helpless and innocent is over for you | guess,” | scoffed, watching the smug smile on her face.

“You don’t understand what’s happening, do you?” She implored, playing with a lock of her hair. “I feel pity for you. You could be neither a good wife nor a good Queen. Your marriage is breaking and there is a war looming over our species. You couldn't salvage your marriage but | wish you well for the war.”

The mocking expressions on her face riled me up. | was struggling to control my feisty wolf who wanted to rip her heart out and swallow it whole.

| calmed myself by inhaling a deep breath and clenching the sides of my fists. | had two choices: either | could cry over my mate who didn’t want me or be strong and fulfill my duty as the Queen.

The latter option seemed more convenient for me as | couldn’t escape my fate and 1 had a pup inside me growing. | had to be responsible and strong and with that, | decided to, first of all, put my husband's ex in his place.

“Bow and apologize for disrespecting your Queen,” | used my command to force her to bow.

Her icy blue eyes turned scarlet for a millisecond before returning to the natural color of her eyes.

What the actual f uck.

Her body trembled as she tried to fight my command, holding her ground and not obeying me. | was bewildered to see her spirits. It was impossible to find an Alpha Kang or Queen’s command.

Serena had told me that she was adopted which meant that probably no one knew about her bloodline and lineage.

Lola wasn’t an ordinary she-wolf, that was sure. Or maybe she wasn’t a wolf. On the night of attack, everyone was in their wolf form except her.

“What are you?” | inquired, my aura growing intense and commanding.

She was suffering because my powerful aura demanded submission and obedience from her yet she was obstinate and determined to not surrender.

Her knees were wobbling, almost giving in when a deep menacing growl from behind directed my attention toward a furious Alpha who was throwing daggers at me.

“How could you be so malicious?” He didn’t hide his contempt and caged me in between the kitchen counter and his body.

His misty gray eyes bore into mine as he exuded his aura, radiating anger. It didn’t affect me much but | would be lying if | said that a pang of jealousy didn’t struck my heart, seeing the way he protected Lola without even asking me what exactly happened. “Let her go, Alpha,” came a whispered plea from Lola.

| found her kneeling to me with her hands clasped in her lap and a wicked smile forming on the corners of her lips.

F ucking bi tch. She was pretending to be innocent and weak again in front of Prescott to gain his favor.

To my surprise, he listened to her and immediately let go of me. “Do not force the others to obey you, Matilda. This is my pack, my house, and I’m in charge of everything here,” he warned me, pointing his finger at me.

A frown emerged on my face and | tossed my hair before putting up a brave front. “Don’t worry, Alpha Prescott. | will be leaving your pack soon. There is no reason for me to stay in this pathetic pack anymore.”

He scooped Lola in his arms after kissing her lips softly. | held onto the kitchen counter tightly to bear the pain my heart was dissolved in.

“Who told you that you can leave my pack?” He asked challengingly.

Since his ex knew about the divorce, there was no need of hiding it.

“I'm not stup id to live with you after divorce,” | shrugged.

“Read the papers, darling,” he smirked. “Aren’t you too dumb to think that | would let you go so easily?”

My heart sank at the revelation. | was glad that | hadn’t signed the papers without. reading them.

“What is happening here?” My mother appeared out of the blue, her gaze scrutinized Lola and Prescott. She cleared her throat and stepped toward me, still, glaring at the duo. My tongue didn’t move though | wanted to confide in her.

“Excuse me, Alpha Prescott. | need to talk to my daughter,” she said in a steady voice, holding my hand in hers and dragging me out of the kitchen along with her.

‘See you soon, Alpha Queen, Lola’s smug voice rang in my mind. | was still the Luna of the Silver Claw pack so she could mind- link me.

Lola wasn’t submissive, she was more powerful than Prescott had assumed but | wasn’t aware of her motive behind this facade. Any woman in her place would be ecstatic and relieved after knowing that | was going to leave the pack but she wanted me to stay, |
