Escaping my arranged marriage with Alpha Prescott

Chapter 79

Matilda

My body wasn’t healed yet from the miscarriage and the injuries that the bloody witch had caused. My healing powers had healed me every time sooner than the ordinary wolves, but since a witch’s powers had affected me so badly, my powers seemed to fail to protect me and my pups.

Seeing my sister’s pale face and her unspoken words about her mother, my heart started to palpitate in my chest as the fear enveloped my senses, assuming the worst but silently praying that | would be wrong.

My wolf had shunned me completely since Lola pushed me away. She was upset and in so much pain as she carried my emotional burden more than me. She was always so protective of our mate, pups, and all the emotions | had buckled up inside to protect myself from the hurt.

| forced my legs to scamper over my little sister who had just passed out in front of me though Prescott had hurried pretty quickly to grab her and hold her. | couldn’t sit there like a pathetic she- wolf. Holding my stomach, | took slow steps toward Avery.

The doctors and nurses rushed in and carried Avery to the bed beside mine. “She will wake up soon. She just passed out in stress but Luna, you should take some rest. Please, don’t walk or get out of the bed for at least, twenty-four hours,” he suggested in a low voice, lowering his head.

“Where is my Mom?” | asked, ignoring his advice.

“Sweetheart, you need to take care of yourself. Listen to the doctor,” My mate held me closely, kissing my cheek and caressing my shoulders soothingly.

“| can’t just sit here and wait till that bit ch kills everyone | love, | growled, thrashing in his arms to let me go but he tightened his grip around me, holding me more tightly.

“Your mother will be fine, | promise. | had arranged the guards outside her room,” he said briskly. “Trust me, Tila. What Avery saw isn’t true. | knew that keeping Lola in a dungeon wasn’t going to be easy and knowing how badly Dylan wanted Camilla dead, | knew that I had to be advanced so | called someone for help and luckily, we were able to save Camilla.”

Whatever he was saying didn’t make much sense to me but my thudding heart was calming down. | trusted him, not just as my mate but also as the strongest paramount Alpha | knew. He was capable of much more than he did let us know.

“What do you mean?” | asked, giving in to his soothing touch. The sparks eased up my nerves as he continued his soft caresses to pacify my thumping heart.

The tension was still thick in the air as the doctors watched us with trepidation. | glanced at my sister who was now lying on the bed next to me. Her pale body was slowly returning to its normal color.

“You may leave now. Just make sure that Camilla is safe and wakes up as soon as possible,” Prescott ordered, dismissing them. He didn’t want to talk about it in front of everyone, | could tell from his

tone.

Who came to help us to save my Mom? And why did it need to be so cryptic as if he was trying to protect someone?

“She is recovering pretty fast. Surprisingly, her healing powers are stronger than the Luna. Yet, we’re not able to discover why she couldn’t fight back or heal from the injuries she faced in the witches’ territory,” one of them who seemed to be in his late forties spoke, bringing me back to the present. His brows furrowed as a frown etched onto his face.

His words echoed in my mind as if trying to reach out to me to help me solve the mystery. My mother and I. both failed to protect ourselves from the witches which meant that our powers slowed down while fighting against a witch.

My eyes glinted with hope as | spoke, “Our healing powers aren’t strong enough to heal us when attacked or harmed by a witch. “In that case, she shouldn't be able to heal quickly as she was attacked by Lola but she is healing though she was severely hurt.” He answered, positioning his thumb beneath his chin and rubbing it leisurely as he pondered deeply.

“Lola isn’t a pure witch,” My mate said and all of us turned our attention to him. “Maybe that’s why Tila and Camilla healed though it wasn’t as quick as it should have been and made it out alive despite her trying to kill you both but our pups weren’t strong enough so they...” His words remained in his mouth as his anger started rolling off him, flailing around with a surge of power that made the doctors flinch and bend their necks in submission.

“You're dismissed,” | commanded and they immediately left after bowing to us.

| leaned into his chest, wrapping my arms around his neck before sobbing in his arms. “We lost our babies, my voice came out as shaky and barely whisper.

“I'm sorry. | couldn’t protect our pups,” he murmured, still, brushing my back gently. “I’m the worst mate and the worst father. | put all of you through so much pain and at last, they died because their as shole father couldn’t protect them.”

He sounded so feeble and broken that it ached my heart to see him in that state. His tears fell on my head and | closed my eyes to cry my heart out with him. A low so b escaped from his throat and it made me feel like someone had sliced my heart with silver and poured wolfsbane all over it.

“No, Prescott,” | said, mustering the courage to comfort him. He needed me as much as | needed him. | couldn’t let him blame himself for everything

“You're the best mate | could ever ask for. I’m so grateful to the Moon Goddess for bestowing me the best mate. | know that it’s hard for both of us to lose our babies,” my voice broke as the raw pain hit me like hot lava, “But it's not our mistake. The culprit should pay for her sins and | swear by the Moon Goddes, | will rip her heart out and bathe in her blood for killing my innocent pups.”

| wiped his tears off and smiled slightly at him before giving him a small peck on his lips. “I know,

will be the best father, Alpha Prescott White,”

you

He nodded his head in agréement and cupped my cheeks. “I love you, Tila,” he said and claimed. my lips in a deep passionate kiss.

Aknock on the door made us jerk as we pulled away, feeling a powerful aura spurting in the room.

“Sorry to disturb your sweetmoment but | had to talk to both of you before leaving,” the voice said but | couldn’t see Riya Frecognized her voice and she soon appeared out of thin air, making both of us shocked.

‘Riya agreed to help us and with her magic, she created an illusion where everyone could see Camilla lying on the bed but it was just an illusion. Camilla is alive and safe. The person whom Lold” tried to kill was no one but an illusion created by Riya. | knew that Lola would try something like that and since we don’t have any equipment or something to protect our kinds from her spells and magic, we wouldn't be able to keep her locked up in the dungeon for a long time so | asked Riya to help us, he explained everything via the link.

| was surprised to know that he thought so far and planned everything in such a short period even when he wasn’t men tally capable of doing such things. He was in distress because of my injury:

and

seeing his swollen and dark eyes, | didn’t need to be told that he had cried.

Thank you, baby. I’m so proud of you,’ | told him, holding his hands in mine. It wrenched my heart to see him so broken and helpless. | never imagined seeing my Alpha in despair and vulnerability.

“Speak, Riya,” he cleared his throat, masking his emotions but | could feel his pain through our bond.

“Dylan has accepted Lola as his Queen. Beatrice and Lola have escaped from your cell. They will hold the crown ceremony on this Red Moon and that’s when | need your help, Alpha King and Queen,” Riya said, her tone calm yet firm.

“We're grateful for what you did for us, Riya and we promise you that we will return the favor,” | retorted sincerely, nodding my head at her.

She chanted something before lifting her hands and releasing air through her mouth. “It will help you heal sooner. Lola has damaged your womb so it wouldn’t be easy for you to get pregnant again. | know that your doctors might not have told you that but I’m the high witch and when | see the magic, | know its spell, effect, and outcome.”

Her eyes saddened as she pressed her lips guiltily. “I will try to find the counter-spell or something to help you but | suggest you both mate and hold your crown ceremony before the Red Moon.”

We couldn’t complete our crown ceremony because of Beatrice’s intrusion so Prescott wasn’t officially the Alpha King yet

“But our chaplain suggested we mate on the next full moon which is one week away to complete our union and lift the curse of my mate’s lineage,” | said, remembering Owen’s words very well. | wish he could be here to guide us.

“You wouldn't be able to fight against Dylan unless you both have claimed your powers fully. | need to go now, | can’t be in your territory for a long time as it affects my powers,” she winced, bracing herself tightly.

“Don't think about the curse right now. You can deal with the curse later. If Dylan and Lola succeed in obtaining the powers from their crown ceremony, they will break havoc on you,” she muttered
