Chapter 109 Matilda
“Riya is here,” | said, looking at Lola coldly. She hadn’t expected to see us this soon. Her eyes widened with shock as she looked in between Riya and me.
“| thought that Riya would come with all the high witches,” she whispered, swallowing hard. Her throat was dry, she was thirsty but she didn’t ask for water. | asked Jericho to bring water for her. He helped her drink water and then, we continued our probing.
| had already filled Riya in about all that had happened and her telling me that she didn’t kill my pups. Riya told me that she could probe her mind and | could use my Alpha command to make her speak the truth since her witch counter wasn’t with her here so it was easier to take her wolf under my command.
“Are
you ready for mind probing?” Riya asked Lola who nodded her head in approval. There was. no hesitation in her eyes which made me feel doubt if | was wrong about her and she genuinely wanted me to be with Prescott.
“When | ask you to close your eyes, you will close your eyes and | will be able to probe your mind and the memories from the past will flash in your mind which | will be able to see as well,” Riya instructed after holding her head in her hands and making her look into her eyes.
“Okay,” Lola whispered and threw a glance at me for the last time before locking her gaze with Riya “Close your eyes,” Riya commanded and she followed.
“The day when you disguised yourself as Alpha Sheldon and later, tried to kill Camilla and Matilda’s pups, try to recall that memory,” Riya asked in a soothing voice that even calmed my erratic heart.
“| can see her pushing Camilla and then, hitting her head with a pot,” Riya said as her brows furrowed. “Matilda and Prescott enter the room and find the pool of blood. After heated arguments, Lola pushes Matilda away and her stomach hits the corner of the bed. Lola covers her mouth with her hands. She is shocked.”
Riya opened her eyes and asked Lola to do the same. “She wasn’t chanting any spell,” she murmured to herself. “But if she wasn’t chanting that spell, who did that to your womb?”
“Maybe it’s high time we move past what happened and who did and should start focusing on what we can now do to save what we have,” Lola suggested, surprising me.
Even Riya hadn't expected that from her. As much as | didn’t want to trust her, she wasn’t at fault so | couldn’t blame her for something that she didn’t even do.
| wanted to give it a last shot so | decided to try another way, too. “I, Alpha Queen, Matilda Spencer White, command you to speak the truth if you harmed my pups intentionally or used any spell to harm my womb,” | caught her off guard as | used my Alpha command, and she lowered her head in submission, her body recognizing my command and obliged to follow it.

“I'm speaking truth. Queen. | didn’t kill your pups intentionally nor did | use any spell to weaken your womb or harm it,” she answered honestly.
Sighing. | removed the effect of my command. There was no point in dragging it anymore so | gave up on doubting her
“| tried to find a counter—spell for you. Matilda. | have already asked all the high—-witches to come to the Blood Moon pack to perform the spell tonight Red Moon has the power to heal so you will be able to bear the pups, don’t worry, Riya assured me and though it was hard for me to believe her because | didn’t want to be heartbroken if it didn’t work out | didn’t have any other choice so | nodded my head and masked over my emotions to hide my sadness.
| hadn't told Lola yet that | didn’t want to become the Witch Queen or Dylan’s mate because my heart was still not ready to accept that she was trying to help me and being nice to me.
Matilda, baby come soon. Owen is seeking your presence, came my mate’s link and | asked Riya to leave with me leave
“Wait, Matilda Lola called out my name and | halted in my steps, closing my eyes and letting out a sigh. | didn’t know why but now, she was getting on my nerves.
*Dylan feeds on the evil powers and darkness but since he is here. And this is a sacred place now. It will affect him it will weaken him because he has nothing to feed on so it will be easter to kill him she said and go my surprise, she had no trace of remorse on her face.
Her face was void of any emotions. She wanted revenge so badly that she was telling us the ways to kill her mate.
-Why are you helping us. Lola? Tell me the fucking truth.” | snapped at her, not being able to restrain my frustration. “Kolling your fated mate can kill you, don’t you know what? Why would you risk sacrificing your ke just to kill him?
Riya rushed to my side and held my shoulders, trying to calm me down but the storm inside me wasn’t ready to subside yer
“| have learned my lesson the harder way. Matilda. I’m so much in love with him that if | saw him once again, | would do anything he would ask me to do even if | don’t want to do. | no longer know the difference between my willpower and his manipulation so it's better that he dies and if I’m meant to survive this, | will or else | shall die along with him.” she replied in a shaky voice, tears brimming in the corners of her eyes
Her confession shook me, | hadn’t expected that from her but she was right. With Dylan’s dark powers, no one could distinguish/if the action was caused by his evil spells or the person’s own will.
| never thought that | would pity Lola because | hated her but at this moment. | pitied her. She was truly broken and helpless and the mate bond had become her weakness that Dylan had used pretty well for his own benefit.
“We need to leave now. | will be back if | need to talk to you I told her gently before turning my heels on..
When Riya and | were alone, | asked her. “What do you think? Is she speaking the truth or is it just.

“For now, | can’t say anything as it would be too quick to judge though | feel like the war will show. us the true colors of her,” Riya replied after giving it a thought.
We found Owen, Avery, Mom, Mason, and Prescott sitting in the front garden. Although the atmosphere was pleasant, the dark clouds in the sky were a sign that it wouldn't last.
“What is it, Owen?” | asked after sitting beside my mate who immediately pecked my kiss with a quick kiss.
“Dylan is weakening as he has nothing to feed on here. He-”
“He feeds on the darkness, evil powers,” | finished it for him. “I know, Owen. Lola just shared this with us,” | said, looking at Riya. “There is no way to kill him unless Satan comes here and returns his soul,” Owen said.
“Once a soul is sold, it can’t be returned, Riya countered. “There is only one way to kill him.”
