Chapter 12 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?

| 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 flabbergasted 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 clation.

“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,” Avery commented.

| 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. It comforted 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,” | placed 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 IllTêxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

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 access 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 Claw 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 accusation 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
