Escaping my arranged marriage with Alpha Prescott

Chapter 57

Matilda

The searing pain was still conspicuous in my limbs and heart. My veins were burning with a ferocious fire that was showing no sign of subsiding anytime soon.

Regardless of the anguish | was in, | could feel a powerful aura surrounding my body and slowly seeping into my body. | was familiar with this power. It was my mother. She was trying to heal me but the wounds were too deep to be healed by her.

| had no faith left in my mate. He was cheating on me deliberately with his ex. All of his attempts to win my heart were fake. Prescott was the most manipulative man | had known but not anymore.

| wasn’t going to allow him to do this to me. Not when | was pregnant...

Oh, Goddess. My baby. How could | forget that | was carrying his pup in my womb amidst his betrayal? | wouldn’t let his infidelity affect my innocent baby.

| summoned my wolf and forced my way to heal myself so | would be able to protect my baby. My wolf was weakened, nonetheless, she poured all her powers into healingContent protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

me.

After a couple of minutes, | coughed blood and gasped for air. My eyes opened slightly and the doctors reached out to me. “Luna is awake,” one of them screamed at the top of his lungs and heaved a sigh of

relief.

“Finally,” Prescott’s distraught face appeared in front of my eyes. He sat on the bed. beside me and grabbed the tissue papers and a napkin from the nurse to clean my face himself.

Although | wanted to push him away, | didn’t have the energy to do so. His touch sent a pleasurable shiver down my spine and | hated how | still liked his filthy touch. Moon Goddess was playing a game with me. She had written my fate while she was in her worst mood.

“She is healing,” Mom whispered in a barely audible voice.

| tried to nod my head to show her that | was fine but the way her brows furrowed and her face turned fuming red from pale, it terrified me. She had discovered my secret, | could tell from the looks she was passing between Prescott and me.

‘Your husband is your sécond chance mate, isn’t he?’ She asked via the link to confront me and | was relieved that she didn’t ask that in front of everyone.

‘No, Mom. My wolf needs more energy to run the mind-links so please, let's talk later, | denied and changed the topic though | knew that I wouldn’t be able to keep it hidden from her for so long.

She wanted to speak further but chose to stay silent and left. | was grateful for that.

“How... How is my-” | couldn’t finish the sentence after realizing that Prescott was still here and | didn’t want him to know about my pregnancy yet.

“Our pup is safe, sweetheart,” he smirked devilishly.

| growled internally in frustration. F ucking asshole. He shouldn't have known. Now that he had found out, | doubted that he would let me go to my palace in the Blood Moon pack to find the ancient book and live away from him.

He held my hands in his and cupped them softly before placing light kisses on my knuckles. “Do you still want to go to Blood Moon pack?” He asked and | was stunned. | didn’t expect him to be nice to me.

His controlling and possessive nature wouldn’t allow him to let me go. | was just a trophy for him that he wanted to show off and claim as his.

When | didn’t respond to his question, he kissed my forehead. “I’m sorry. It’s time for your recovery, not for the talk. We will talk later,” he smiled softly at me, gazing at me affectionately with his tender grey eyes.

“| will never forgive this day, Tila. | will remember how hard you fought to save our baby.” His once mild eyes turned dark, and rage kindled in his eyes, proving me right. Prescott would never understand me and | was ready for whatever he would throw at me. | knew what was coming for me ahead but | won't give up.

His proximity had healed me enough so | removed the oxygen mask from my face. | liberated my hand by pulling away the IV drip.

“| will never forgive this day either, Alpha Prescott. | promise you,” | uttered bitterly, staring back into his smoldering eyes.

“Luna, you're not healed yet,” one of the doctors hesitantly said, urging me to stay on the bed with the IV drip attached to my hand to recover.

“I'm healed, doctor. Don’t you worry about me,” | offered him a stiff smile and walked away from my mate.

Little did they know that | had already suffered more than enough at the hands of my mates and overcame what could have killed me. Prescott’s cheating on me had affected me too much because we were marked and mated mates though he wasn’t aware of our fated mate bond.

| was suffering me ntally more than physically as my wolf wasn’t ready for this. She was. a stu pid hopeless romantic wolf who had dreamed of being loved and cherished by our fated mate but the poor animal had the worst fate.

Prescott’s betrayal was so hard on her that she had almost paralyzed and wouldn’t have surfaced hadn't it been for our pup.

As soon as | got out of the room, Alpha Mason, Beta Caleb, Gam ma Jericho, Serena, Mia, and Ivy greeted me. All of them were there for me yet | was feeling so lonely. | wondered where my family was.

“Aren't you the strongest Queen?” Mason was the first to break the silence while my girls suppressed their lips so as not to cry but their teary eyes didn’t go unnoticed by

‘me. “I'm sorry,” | bowed to him. | shouldn’t have kept the news from him. He was a good man and deserved to know about his grandson’s existence..

“Queens don’t bow to anyone,” he asserted, kissing my forehead. “You better take care of my champ now. Your responsibilities are doubled now and you're not leaving this apartment,” he sternly informed me in a rigid tone, not leaving any room for arguments.

Everyone else congratulated me while my girls went into my room to prepare a bath for me. My legs were giving up so | dragged myself to the bathroom and divulged my lower body to the bathtub.

| had turned the lights off to enjoy the beautiful scenario as they had put flowers and scented candles in the bathroom to lighten up my mood.

“You like roses, don’t you?” Prescott’s voice startled me and | turned to face him.

He was holding a bouquet of red roses in his hands but what intrigued me was one black rose between that bouquet.

“Get out,” | growled, splashing the water fiercely. The candles lit by the bathtub were extinguished due to the impact of water and the darkness grew in the bathroom.

“Why? Were you waiting for your second chance mate to come here and wash you?” His deep taunting voice irritated, my ears but sent a jolt of excitement to my core.

He came closer and entered into the bathtub with the shower gel. Instead of putting the gel on loofah, he took it on his hands and started rubbing my legs with his hands, slowly reaching to my thighs and stopping a mere inches away from my pus sy.

| shamelessly threw my head back and relished in his touch. My heart raced against my ribcage as his hands started scrubbing my breasts. He massaged them softly and | bit

back a moan, the ripples of pleasure evoking in my veins.

My eyes flickered over his face and | admired the G od Greek washing me. | extended my hand to touch his chiseled jaw but my eyes flickered over his neck and | slapped him across his face.

“How dare you?” | pushed him away and he looked at me as if | had grown two heads. His gaze slowly followed mine and he touched his neck.

The corners of his lips twitched into a nasty smirk. “Your mark is too stubborn like you. It’s not letting Lola mark me.”

“How could you do this to me? You don’t even have any idea how much my baby and | have suffered because of you,” | shrieked out. The sharp pain, bleeding, ragged breaths, everything was because of my f ucking mate.
