    Matilda


    His gaze gleamed with amorous desire, lustful hunger flickering in his eyes. He had no idea how much his vicinity was affecting


    me. My wolf was ready to let him do whatever he was trying to do but I had to control her.


    I


    didn’t want him to smell my arousal so | sought to extricate my hands from his grasp


    but he was too strong.


    He was making me feel so hot and | couldn’t help but stare at his lips. | wanted him to put those lips to some good use. The


    fantasy my wolf was having made my checks burn in embarrassment.


    Prescott removed his hands and smirked. “Then, why are you so upset over me sleeping with someone else?”


    My throat suddenly went dry and my breathing grew shallow. How to tell him that | was. his fated mate so | couldn’t bear his


    proximity with another woman?Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.


    | would never let him know that he was my fated mate. He would only use that to get back at me or make things hard for me.


    “I''m the Alpha Queen so | won''t submit to you. | demand respect so you better end all of your affairs or | might have some, too,” |


    shrugged as if | was cool about it.


    “Are you threatening your Alpha?” He asked, surprised and amused.


    “Yes, I’m and | mean it, Prescott,” | called him by his name, reminding him that he was Alpha for the others, not for me.


    He leaned closer and whispered in my ear, “Do you like killing innocent people?”


    | was bbergasted by his sudden question. “Of course, not. I’m the Queen. How can | like killing innocent people?”


    “Then, you better not let any man touch you or I''ll have to kill those poor innocent souls,” he said, holding my chin in his hand


    before kissing my cheek lightly.


    | wanted to hold him, wrap my legs around his hips, and kiss the hell out of his sweet mouth. Before | would lose my restraint and


    might give


    in to my wolf''s dirty desires, | pushed him away lightly and scurried away from him.


    | got out of the elevator on the first floor, remembering that he had prepared a surprise for me. | heard a familiar voice and my


    heart started racing with tion.

    731 Sat, 24 Feb


    “You seem too mature to be a teenager.” Alpha Mason remarked, followed by a light. chuckle.


    “And you seem too friendly to be an Alpha,” Averymented.


    | was so happy to see her after all that | had put her through. If | hadn’t escaped with Gabriel, she would have been living a better


    life in my pack like the Princess she was.


    | agreed with her, tears threatening to fall from my eyes. “That''s true.”


    “Matty,” My little sister screamed with joy, running closer to me and literally jumping on me. How much | missed being called


    Matty by her.


    “Avery, my little princess,” my voice came out a bit shaky as tears welled up in my eyes.


    Her familiar lily scent felt like home, so warm, sweet, and soothing. Itforted me so much that | pulled her closer and


    tightened my grip around her back, closing my eyes.


    She hugged me back and | kissed her forehead. | should have protected my little sister from my monster of a mate.


    “Where are Dad and uncle?” | asked after we sat down on the couch.


    “They don’t want to meet you right now. | think they just need some time,” Avery pressed her lips.


    “Why don’t you take your sister for a stroll in the garden? I’m sure she''ll like the roses,” Alpha Mason suggested, giving us


    privacy.


    | felt so ashamed and remorseful after finding the absence of my father and uncle. They were angry with me so they avoided


    meeting me.


    After thanking Mason for helping me get back to my family, we left from there. As generous as he was, he gave all the credit to


    his son. So it was his surprise for me.


    “Where is your second chance mate?” Avery surprised me with her question.


    “Shush,” | ced a finger on my lips before looking here and there. | didn’t want anyone else to find it out.


    “How did you figure it out?” | asked and sighed, feeling relieved that | could share it


    with someone.


    “| heard about how you rejected your fated mate in front of everyone and kissed your husband,” she smirked like the little devil


    she was. “When you came here, your cheeks. were flushed and the crown birthmark on your elbow was glowing so | figured it


    out.”


    “The stupid mark,” | muttered under my breath before facepalming myself. | needed to


    Ill


    wear full-sleeve clothes from now on.


    High-ranked werewolves had birthmarks or tattoos that would glow whenever they had some physical contact with their fated


    mate. | had to check if Prescott’s mark glowed or not when | touched him.


    | was unsure because of his curse.


    “Will you tell me who this lucky guy is now?” Avery said, bringing me out of my thoughts.


    “My husband, my chosen mate, Alpha Prescott. The wolf who is cursed not to have a fated mate,” | sighed, shaking my head


    dramatically and shoving the pain away.


    “Not only him. His whole lineage was cursed not to have a fated mate,” Avery stunned. me. She almost knew everything about


    everyone.


    My mother’s lineage was blessed with some unique superpowers. Avery was still a minor so her powers were still under the


    cover. | had the power to see in the dark and smell the wolves from miles away.


    “Your twenty-first birthday will bring you full ess to your power. You will soon be able to get to know your superpower,” she


    whispered hastily with closed eyes, holding my hands tightly.


    “Holy shit,” | cussed, getting nervous about her getting a vision in the Silver w pack.


    Avery would be passed out for hours after having a vision. Her body was sweating like usual. | rubbed her hands to keep them


    warm.


    “The curses can be healed but there is always a price that you have to pay to get something,” she said in a shaky voice before


    passing out in my arms.


    “What''s wrong with her?” Prescott asked suspiciously.


    “Stay away from my daughter,” Dad growled, baring his fangs at me.


    He snatched my sister away from my arms. “I don’t want her to be a traitor like you. You have caused me separation from my


    mate and hundreds of lives of my pack members. and my Beta.”


    His usation broke my heart. | wanted the ground to swallow me whole. | lowered my gaze to my feet, not being able to meet


    his eyes. | knew that he was right. It all happened because of my stupidity.


    “You can’t talk to my wife like that,” Prescott growled thunderously after pulling me to his chest.


    |


    He stood between my father and me like a rock. For the first time, someone took a stand for me. | was looking at him in awe.


    Was it also a part of the act for the public?


    Or did he genuinely want to protect me
