Escaping my arranged marriage with Alpha Prescott

Chapter 71

Prescott

“| asked Serena’s parents to adopt her and made sure that she lived a comfortable life but when | found her using her witch powers to make you fall for her, | wanted her out of your life so | offered her money and she left,” Dad explained.

“You already told me this in the evening but why didn’t you tell me that she was Beatrice’s daughter?” | growled at him.

After knowing the truth about Lola in the evening, | despised her and ordered her to leave the pack silently without causing any drama. My Beta made sure that she left and would never be able to enter the pack as | cut the pack link with her so she was no longer a member of our pack.

“Because Camilla was my first love and | didn’t want to cause any trouble for her,” Dad said, lowering his head in embarrassment, making me scowl.

“And | thought that you loved Mom only,” | scoffed, shaking my head in disapproval.

“Excuse me, | guess you guys should talk it out privately without creating a fuss,” Owen said, glaring at me deliberately. He knew that | wasn’t going to take it well and how could they even expect me

He closed the door behind him and Dad got up from his chair to walk to my window and face the Moon. “Camilla and | dated till she found her mate and cheated on me. | went to her pack to train and that’s where | found her. The most powerful she-wolf with a strong bloodline which was blessed by the Moon Goddess. | fell in love with her but | never cheated on your Mom,” he turned to face me, and his firm voice told me that he was speaking the truth.

“| loved your mother with everything that | had. Even when Camilla,” he paused and frowned. before continuing, “Beatrice needed my help, | helped her as a friend. | never looked at her the same way again.”

“Why didn’t you tell me this in the evening?” | asked coldly.

“| was feeling ashamed in admitting it and | didn’t know that it was Beatrice, not Camilla. | was so dumb not to notice the truth. | knew that Beatrice was mean and selfish yet it didn’t come to my mind for once that it might be Beatrice, not Camilla,” Dad muttered to himself.

“Beatrice was always envious of her sister. She was cu nning and mean. | should have checked the facts but | didn’t give Camilla a chance to tell her side of the story and broke up with her after finding that she was cheating on

he added.

| got up from my chair and exhaled through my mouth, processing the truth. It was too much to. understand at the time. Beatrice was far more dangerous than | had assumed her to be.

“I'm sorry, son,” Dad apologized, tears brimming in the corner of his eyes. “I should have told the truth.”

“You didn’t know the exact truth yourself, Dad,” | squeezed his shoulder gently though it was hard for me to comfort him. We never talked about Mom or his past so it was kind of weird to talk about

it but | was glad that he told me everything even though it was so hard for him.

We talked about my childhood for a while to lighten up the mood. When he talked about Mom, his eyes shimmered with joy which showed how much he really loved her, and | wanted to love my mate just like my father loved my Mom.

After calling it a night, we shuffled back to our rooms. | turned and shifted in my bed, not being able to sleep without Matilda. | wanted to sleep with her but I had to control myself as she needed some time with her sister.

The door opened and | found my silver-haired Goddess standing with swollen red eyes. | swiftly rose from my bed and enveloped her in a comforting embrace,

She had cried a lot and it boiled my blood to see her crying. | wanted to rip that b itch’s heart out for causing my mate the pain she was suffering from.

“| can’t sleep,” Tila murmured in a low voice. “Can | sleep next to you?”

“Of course, baby. You shouldn't ask me that.” | told her and carried her to my bed before laying her down.

“How about | make you a chocolate pudding?” | snapped my fingers in excitement. trying to cheerText © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

her up.

“| just want to sleep,” she whispered, clutching the pillow tightly. | settled into the bed next to her and wrapped a cozy blanket around us before pulling her closer and giving a small peck on her lips.

“Everything will be alright,” | promised her and she hid her face in my shoulder, encircling her arm around my chest. The sparks eased up her pain as she relaxed and slowly dozed off.

The next morning, when | woke up, | found my bed empty. My heart thumped when the thought of her leaving entered my mind. | quickly got up and went to my room without bothering to even wash my face. | needed to see her...

When | found her sitting in front of her dressing mirror, a heavy burden lifted off my chest and | sighed in relief. Avery looked in my direction and nodded her head in acknowledgment.

“The Alpha can’t stay away from our Luna,” Serena giggled, teasing Matilda who managed a meek. smile on her face.

“| snat ched his mate last night so it's only fair if he comes straight to see his mate after waking up and not even checking himself in the mirror before leaving his room,” Avery mocked, trying to lighten up her sister’s mood whose cheeks tainted with the light shade of pink.

| was grateful to them for being there for my mate. She needed her friends and sister and | was relieved to know that she had amazing people in her life.

After clearing my throat, | entered the room and kissed my mate’s cheek. “Good morning, love.”

“Good morning,” she said back with a faint smile on her face.

“Alpha, you need to take a shower quickly. Doctor Zech has sent you a reminder to accompany Luna to her ultrasound appointment,” Caleb informed me after greeting me.

“Breakfast for the Alpha, Luna, and our future pack leader,” Jericho announced, holding the tray of a perfect English breakfast. “Thank you, guys, for being here for us, | showed my gratitude towards my pack members who tried their best to cheer us up. ‘We're doing it for our Luna, not you, came a snarky reply from my Beta.

‘F ck off, | cut the link.

Matilda forced a smile on her face as she made her way toward the small dining table we had in our room. “Thank you, Jericho, she said before digging in.

| knew that she was forcing herself to smile, to eat, to look normal, for the sake of our pup bu reality, she was in so much pain which | could feel through our mate bond.

After finishing our breakfast, we headed toward the hospital. Serena assisted the doctor and helped Tila to lie on the hospital bed. The doctor started doing an ultrasound and | saw three small heads. moving on the screen.

“Congratulations, Alpha. The Luna is carrying the triplets. In the next ultrasound, we will be able to find out the gender of the babies,” the Doctor informed us and | found myself looking at the screen

in awe.

| kissed Tila’s forehead, cheeks, and nose, and rested my head against her forehead as my hands cupped her cheeks. “Thank you, my love. You have given me the best gift of my life.”
