Chapter 106 Matilda
“You're no longer in the position of threatening me, Lola. You tried to snatch my mate and now, the Moon Goddess has given me the chance to take my revenge so it’s only fair if | become the Queen of the witches and ask Dylan to make you my personal maid,” | provoked her, forcing her to imagine what her life would be if Dylan chose me over her.
“No. No. This can’t be true. You're lying. Yes, you’re lying to me so | would hate Dylan and join hands with you,” she nodded her head, trying to make herself believe her own words.
She desperately wanted Dylan and being his Queen mattered to her more than anything else. Tears glistened in the corners of her eyes as she was on the edge of breaking down. Thanks to the Goddess, she was beginning to believe me.
“Why would | lie to you?” | puffed my cheeks and let out a sigh, playing cool in front of her so she would believe that | genuinely didn’t care about anyone else but me.
“See,” | pointed to my neck, “my mark is gone and | think you had seen my mark in the Silver Claw pack, hadn’t you?”
Her eyes widened in horror as the revelation dwelled upon her. “Why? Why did you have to do this to me, Dylan? | did everything to be the one for you but | was never enough for you,” Lola screamed out in pain, not holding herself back.
Lola was truly broken, tears cascaded down her cheeks and her knees bent as she gave in. “Trust me, Matilda, Prescott is way better than Dylan. Don’t leave him for that monster. He can’t love anyone, if he couldn’t be mine, he would never be yours or any other woman's. The things that | had done to gain his affection and approval are beyond your imagination. Don’t make the mistake | made and choose Prescott as your mate. Not all the fated mates are supposed to love you and cherish you,” she advised me genuinely.
| was taken aback by her response. | hadn’t expected her to break down in front of me. She was. playing tough girl a few hours ago and now, she was acting like she didn’t want me to suffer through. what she had endured.
Not that | had any intention of accepting that bastard as my mate but she was trying to show me the right path. | couldn’t trust her that easily. She might be faking it all just to get me out of her way to win Dylan’s heart and become the Witch Queen. Or why else would she not want me to suffer since she had admitted how much she despised my Mom and me?
“| don't care. As long as | become the Witch Queen, I’m fine with anything that he wants from me. | want to have the power that he lias,” | smirked at her and she didn’t seem furious at all.
“Don't be greedy, Matilda. At the end of the day, when you don’t have a faithful and loving mate, what would you do with this much power?” She questioned me with calm composure.
“| wouldn't have to live in fear of being attacked by any other powerful man. Once | got him as my husband, no one else would dare to attack my people since my husband would be the most powerful man and everyone would fear him. No one would want to have any feud with him,” 1 reasoned, smiling at her tauntingly.

“After years of spending time in that delusion, | have finally come back to my senses and now when I'm looking at you, you remind me of the time when | found out that he was my mate and since that day to today, | had lived just to get his approval and love. | get that you want power but don’t forget that love has the greatest power and you're throwing it away for a devil who doesn’t deserve it, Lola countered slyly
Alow chuckle escaped me as | applauded for her. “Such a smart move for making me back off. Well, | don’t trust you, Lola. You're saying all this just to make me give up on Dylan so you can have him all for yourself.”
| have overheard him talking to someone that he wanted to fuck you and make you his little slave soas far as | know him, he must have used dark magic and your blood to form a bond between you, Lola spilled. “If it’s a bond formed by magic, your wolf wouldn't be as affected as you by him. Our wolves have the ability to sense a true mate bond.”
Every word that came out of her mouth echoed in my mind. She wasn’t lying, she was spilling the facts. My wolf didn’t even feel attracted to him, she wasn’t drawn to him as she was to Prescott.
| sighed and shook my head. The bond was forged, not the true one, created by the Moon Goddess.
“If you don’t break the bond between Dylan and you, he will strengthen his forged bond by more sacrifices and spells to turn you into his slave and make you submit to him,” she warned me with a serious expression etched on her face.
“| don’t trust you. How can | believe the bitch who killed my pups? You're just lying to me to make me back off.” | said with sass, playing with a lock of my hair as 1 twisted it around my finger and crossed my one arm. “Prove it to me that you're not lying to me for your own benefit.”
Lola frowned. “I didn’t kill your pups purposely. It was an accident but | didn’t tell anyone the truth. because | knew that no one would believe me.”
“Riya told me that you have used a spell on me so | can’t bear any pups as it has affected my womb. badly and has damaged it terribly,” | scrutinized her, observing her expression changing from guilt. to surprise.
“|... | didn’t use any kind of spell to hurt your pups or your womb. Riya must have mistaken it or...” she paused, her eyes widening as she nodded her head, “It must be any spy of Dylan. He must have ordered someone else to do it.”
“| still don’t trust you, Lola. You have brought nothing but pain to me and my family,” | said coldly.
“What can | do to make you trust me, then? At this moment, | want to do nothing but see Dylan’s. downfall,” her voice turned bitter as she mentioned Dylan’s name. “Can you please let me make one phone call? | want Riya and the other high—-witches to come here and prove my innocence.”
“| will talk to Riya myself,” | put my condition.
Lola sighed helplessly before looking into my eyes with a gloomy face. “Even I’m not allowed to talk to Riya. She is in the cell where no one else can go except for Dylan and my father so I’m going
father to free her

“And will be free her?” | asked, looking over her skeptically. [e)

“He will have to once | tell him that you will not free Dylan unless he lets Riya go,” she replied with determination.
“If | proved my innocence, would you reject Dylan?” Lola asked in a low voice as if scared of being caught of her ulterior motive.
My wolf was right. We couldn't trust her. She might be doing this just to get Dylan for herself or maybe she genuinely wanted to take revenge on him for betraying her and treating her badly. Either way, | had succeeded in my plan as long as Riya would be set free and Prescott would get his wolf back.
| mind-linked Jericho to bring a phone over there and | put the phone on the speaker after dialing the number she shared, holding it in my hand and putting it closer to her face.
“Why are you calling me now? You didn’t need my help when | offered it,” her father’s tone was a bit harsh.
“| don’t need your help. | have called to let you know that your King and | will be set free once they get Riya so you need to let her go as soon as possible,” Lola said in a cold tone, there was no warmth in their voices as they conversed.
“| follow only the King’s orders, not yours. If you want me to free Riya, put Dylan on the phone,” he snarled, and | took the lead from there.
“Matilda Spencer White, the Alpha Queen is speaking from this side,” | introduced myself and added, “They are being held here as captives, not tourists so listen to me very carefully, you’re in no position to demand anything from me. If Riya doesn’t come to the Blood Moon pack within an hour, your king will miss his own coronation ceremony and tonight is the Red Moon that occurs only once a year so if you didn’t set Riya free...” | left the threat hanging in the air and cut the call before he could respond.
