Escaping my arranged marriage with Alpha Prescott

Prescott

Tila placed her hand on mine to calm me down as my aura made her shudder in fear. Molly had lowered her head in surrender and tightly clutched her dress in her fists. Anyone would be scared if I called them into my office for investigation, then, Molly was a young she-wolf who hadn’t even shifted yet.

Avery had found her mate and he was perfect for her as both of them had seen too much at such a young age and were bound to fulfill their duties from their teenage. Alpha Mason was the youngest Alpha while Avery was the youngest and first female Chaplain. Owen had blessed both of them and I could see relief in Camilla’s eyes after ages when she got to know that Avery’s mate had accepted her.

Tila and I decided to travel back to our pack the next morning though Alpha Sheldon and Camilla insisted that we stay for another couple of days but we couldn’t stay any longer after knowing that we needed to find the culprit behind her miscarriage.

The first thing I did after coming back to our pack was call Molly to investigate. I couldn’t wait any longer to find out the person who was behind my mate’s miscarriage. Twice. F ucking twice. Someone had dared to tamper with her food twice and we didn’t even have any idea that it was happening right under my nose in my own pack.

“What were you doing in the woods at five in the morning?” Caleb asked her.

She swallowed an invisible lump down her throat as her eyes met Caleb’s furious ones. “I… I just wanted to spend some time in nature,” she sputtered, bowing her head once again when I shot daggers at her. I could smell fear from her but it was obvious because she was an omega and the room was filled with the powerful auras of Tila, Caleb, and mine which she couldn’t withstand.

“We encountered two rogues in that area right after your return from the woods,” Caleb remarked, making her heart gallop in her chest. “Tell us the truth, Molly. What were you doing there? I’m sure that you know those rogues.”

The warriors who were in charge of the forest side territory had captured the rogues and put them in the cell. All of it happened when I was away from the pack and my heart refused to believe that it was a mere coincidence.

One of them had caught her coming back from the woods so he went back into the woods to find out what she was doing there and that’s when he caught two feral rogues. He had immediately reported it to my Beta who instructed them on what to do while we were away. Caleb had handled everything pretty well that I didn’t need to be worried about anything but it involved my mate and pups so I couldn’t keep my calm.

“Please, trust me…” her voice turned shaky, tears welling up in her eyes. “I don’t know them. They were after me but I ran away from there before they could catch me and kill me.”

“Why didn’t you inform anyone or ask for help if they were going to kill you?” I asked in a stiff voice, showing no sign of mercy.

“You were kind enough to accept me in your pack. I didn’t want to cause any trouble and my life is not worthy enough to have your attention, Alpha. I’m a mere omega,” she uttered in a shaking voice.

“Your rank doesn’t decide your worth, Molly,” my mate muttered, getting up from her seat and standing beside Molly to comfort her. “All of our pack members are equal in our eyes and if anything makes you feel otherwise, you should feel free to reach out to me.”

She had suffered more due to the miscarriage yet she had compassion while I was in a fit of rage. I couldn’t hold myself back though we didn’t have any solid proof against her, all we had was a mere speculation and it would be unfair to punish based on speculations.

Heaving an exasperated sigh, I calmed my rage and restrained my aura from making her flinch. Her knees were wobbling, threatening to give in to my Alpha

aura.

“Wait, you said they were after you… What do you mean by that? Why were they after you?” Caleb furrowed his brows, giving me a pointing look and I nodded my head. He was right… Something just didn’t feel right about rogues chasing a teenage’ she-wolf who recently shifted to my pack.

Molly looked up and met my gaze. “I don’t know… Rogues had chased after me in my previous pack, too. Alpha Mason couldn’t find the reason as well and I was so petrified of them that I always ran away as fast as possible whenever I found them as I’m not strong enough to fight against them.”

Her big brown eyes held no mischief, they were pure innocent. My wolf also didn’t sense any danger or deceit from her either.

“You should seek the warriors’ help if they come back to you. You’re not a burden, Molly. You’re a member of the Silver Claw pack now and it’s your Alpha and Luna’s duty to protect you so don’t hesitate to ask whenever you need help,” Tila said, giving her an encouraging smile.

“Thank you, Luna.” Molly bowed to my mate who hugged her and rubbed her back gently before letting her go.

“Thank you, Alpha. I promise you I won’t cause any trouble. I won’t go into the woods again,” she said in a timid voice.

“It’s better that you don’t go into the woods or anywhere alone,” I commanded in my Alpha voice and she nodded her head vigorously, giving in to my command. “You’re dismissed,” I muttered coldly.

She immediately left after bowing to all of us and Tila pressed her head, putting her free hand on her hip. “I’m having a headache. I don’t want you to investigate further. Let’s just celebrate the happiness and forget the past. It will only cause us pain and trouble,” she suggested.

“Luna is right, Alpha. It will only cause chaos among the pack members. We should rather work on the security of your apartment,” Caleb prompted and I agreed with him.

We needed to make sure that only a few trusted cleaning staff could enter my apartment and I would ask all the chefs to shift to Dad’s apartment to cook for him. I would cook for my mate for the next few weeks until our pups would come into the world and Tila would recover from giving birth.

I carried my mate in my arms and brought her back to our room. After lying her down on the bed, I gave her medicine for headache and cuddled her in my arms so she would fall asleep faster.

The High Witches had cast the protection spell over all the packs so I was expecting no intrusion from the rogues anymore. Jericho and Caleb had assisted them in going to all the packs and meeting the Alphas so they could cooperate and work together for our safety.

Everything was under control, that’s what I presumed until my phone beeped and

I read the text message from an unknown number.

“Hello, Mate. We will meet soon again.”

My heart sk ipped a beat as I read the text again and again in disbelief.

I had kept it a secret from everyone. I had found my second chance fated mate in the town and she was a strong she-wolf. I could tell from her mesmerising scent but before I could find her, she had

vanished in the thin air.

I thought that it was good that we didn’t meet as I was going to only reject her but I didn’t expect her to find me, let alone text me. Although my wolf was head over heels for Tila, he couldn’t shake off the feeling of wanting our fated mate with us.

The pull of the bond was too strong to resist but I was able to turn away from her and was adamant on rejecting her no matter what. I put my phone on the side and snuggled closer to my mate. I already had my mate and for me, she was my chosen and fated, both for me. Matilda was enough for me. I didn’t need anyone else. Moon Goddess had to stop playing games with our fates.

Once she would know that I was already married and in love with my mate, she would give up on me. And even if she wouldn’t, I knew a hundred ways to make her submit to me and force her to accept my rejection.
