There was no difference in Gabriel or Alpha Prescott. None of them saw me more than my position. Both of them just wanted to gain something from me.

Nobody cared about my heart. Yet my stupid heart was dying to feel wanted by my. fated mate.

He didn’t even bother to listen to me before throwing me in the dungeon.

“This is madness.”

“I'm commanding you to free her. Right now. She’s your Queen.”

| heard someone talking to the guards. He didn’t know that | was the Queen for just the name’s sake.

“I'm so sorry, Matilda.” Alpha Mason suppressed his lips in remorse. “Prescott had always been like this to everyone but | didn’t expect him to be like this with you, too.”

The guards opened the cell and helped me come out as | didn’t have any strength to walk. | was feeling dizzy, my eyelids became heavier.

“I'm nothing special for him,” | muttered in a low, barely audible voice. Perhaps | was delusional enough to assume that | meant something to him and he would respect me.

All the Alphas had plenty of mistresses so it was nothing new but still, it did hurt like hell. He didn’t know that his son had wounded my soul. The scars that my body will carry from his betrayal will take forever to heal.

“Gamma Jericho has found your family and they will be here soon. | suggest you eat and take some rest before they arrive,” Alpha Mason advised pitifully.

| was nervous to see my family after all those years. My father might not forgive me for what | did but | knew that Avery would be happy to see me.

“Thank you, Alpha Mason,” | thanked him before saying no to the guards for following 1.me. “Oh, honey,” Serena engulfed me in a warm hug as soon as | got out of the dungeon.

In this strange place, she was the only friend | had. “Why would he do that to me?” “I'm sure it's some misunderstanding,” she consoled me, soothingly patting my back.

She helped me walk to my room. When | was passing by the hall, | sniffed a strong scent of earthy-mossy oak scent. Surprisingly, Alpha Prescott wasn’t there but my sensed his scent lingering in the air.

Phoebe smirked. “I helped the Alpha calm down like always. He has a bad temper and anger issues but I’m sure that you'll learn to obey him soon.”

My eyes turned blurry due to tears. History was repeating itself. Nonetheless, | decided that | would not let anyone treat me like that again.

“Who the hell dared to defy my orders?” Prescott growled when he saw me in the hallway of his apartment.

“|. Alpha Prescott. And you'll learn to respect your mate.” Alpha Mason replied in a challenging tone.

His jaw tightened as his father stepped between him and me, protecting me from his

His mate was so lucky to have an Alpha who loved her even after her death. Mason was so loyal to her that he didn’t choose a second mate after her.

Prescott’s eyes softened for a second but instead of comforting his father, he walked away. “I'm sorry, Matilda. It’s my mistake that | couldn’t teach my son how to treat women,” Mason apologized to me again.

“It's not your mistake, Alpha Mason. Please, stop saying sorry to me,” | gave him a warm smile. “You're the best father and Alpha. | hope that your son will also become like one day.”

There was silence for a minute before he pulled me in his arms and carried me outside the room. Even though | should have been scared of being thrown out of the room, the sparks danced through our bond as his musky oak scent filled my nostrils.

He was throwing me out of his room in front of everyone. “Put me down,” | urged, not wanting to be embarrassed in front of the maids.
