Escaping my arranged marriage with Alpha Prescott

Chapter 40

Gabriel

“You told me that you would help me get my mate back,” | hissed, struggling to get rid of the silver chain he had tied on my wrist. A malicious chuckle resonated in the dark room. “I don’t know what to call you. Are you too innocent or too dumb? Your Alpha used you yet you didn’t learn your lesson and trusted a stranger blindly,” Dylan mocked me which fueled my rage but | couldn't do anything.

| was forced to sit on the chair as the silver chains were tied around not only my wrists. but also my chest and legs.

“You have used me enough, Dylan. Now, let me go,” | growled, not hiding my anger

anymore.

He had made me run errands for him since the day | came into the human town. At first, | thought he was trying to help me stay and live a better life with my mate but then, his weird requests turned into threats when | refused to get him the sample of my mate’s silver hair.

Dylan was using me as his sla ve and | had no choice because he threatened me to tell Matilda the truth so | did everything for him.

“I'm not done with you yet, Gabriel. You should thank me that | protected you from your King or else he would have killed you by now. His men are still looking for you so if you don’t want to end up getting killed by him, you will do as | say,” he smirked, knowing all too well that | was going to do it.

Alpha Prescott was a far more dangerous and ruthless King than him. Dylan needed met so he wouldn't kill me. Yet.

“On one condition only. You'll have to let me return to my mate,” | said grimly. | was pretty sure that Matilda would never accept Prescott. She was learning to trust me. All my hard work to win her trust won’t be in vain.

“Frankly, you're in no place to negotiate with me but | don’t care where you go after finishing my work so,” he shrugged, revealing his selfish motive.

“Anyways, you'll go back to the Silver Claw Pack and spray this perfume on Matilda,” he handed me a small crystal bottle with a devilish smirk etched on his ugly face.

“What will this do to her?” | asked suspiciously. | wouldn't let this witch hurt my mate.

“This will make her listen to you and you will bring her back to the town,” he commanded, using his spell’s power on me as | felt myself nodding my head in approval.

My wolf had weakened after moving to the town. | couldn't shift into my wolf form but my wolf's absence was nagging me. Dylan wasn’t a random witch, he was the Witch King. So I was pretty sure that he had cast a spell on my wolf to separate us because | was powerless without my wolf.

“Make sure that you give it to her tonight,” he firmly said, clenching his fists by his side. “Matilda, you’ll pay for ‘your parents’ sins.”

He did let me go and | shifted back into the house that Dylan had created with his magic. | had to reach my mate but | had to wait for the right time as Dylan’s magic on me would start working after the full moon went high in the sky.

Matilda would start seeing me as Prescott again and | would mark her and mate with her tonight. Full moon nights were auspicious so | was happy to know that we were starting our union with the Goddess’s blessings.

| wrote a letter to Phoebe and left it on our usual spot from where we exchanged the letters. | needed her help to reach Matilda. There was no sign of Phoebe but a few wolves were rushing in my direction aggressively.

“Find that as hole. He should be closer,” one of them commanded. From his command and powers, | could

| could guess that he was the Gam ma.

Dylan had an idea about it happening, that’s why he made me invisible in front of the others. | stood in front of them but they were searching for me everywhere. Dylan. must have let Alpha Prescott know that | was here to distract his men.

| used this opportunity to get inside the Silver Claw pack’s territory. | found Matilda on the window of the top floor of an apartment and without wasting time, | ascended the stairs and got into her room.

“Gabriel,” she whispered my name and | was stunned to find that she could recognize me as Gabriel, not Prescott.

“How did you come here?” She asked in a hushed tone. “Are you insane? Alpha Prescott’s men are looking for you everywhere and Prescott has ordered his men to.

catch you dead or alive.”

It was predictable after finding out what | wanted was his wife.

My wolf finally surfaced after seeing Matilda. He wanted me to tell Matilda everything so | chose to speak the truth.

“Dylan sent me here to use this perfume on you and bring you back to the town,” | explained and gave her the bottle:

“What is it?” She touched it suspiciously before taking a whiff of the perfume.

“No. Don’t put it on your hands. It might be dangerous,” | stopped her, and she took a few steps back.

“I'm not coming with you anywhere,” she cried out. “You're a sla ve to the Witch King. | know that you have joined hands with Dylan to hurt me but you can’t.”

“If | wanted to hurt you, | would have used this spray on you and you would have fainted within seconds but | chose to speak the truth for you, Matilda,” | said and she relaxed, still, not letting her guard down.

“Why are you helping him, Gabriel Cooper?” Matilda used her Queen command, making me kneel in front of her. “Don’t you know it’s treacherous to help other species?”
