Escaping my arranged marriage with Alpha Prescott

Chapter 23 Prescott

| would fu*king burn the whole world. The agony and anger | was in, was driving me insane and | didn’t know what to do except kill that bastard for killing my wife.

My eyes became blurry with tears. | had never cried after my mom’s death. | had endured all the things life offered me without complaining. | would destroy everything and set fire to this world.

“She is not dead,” Avery yelled and my eyes wandered in her direction with hope.

“Yes, she can’t be dead or I'll kill every fu*king one and force the Goddess to give me my wife back from heaven,” | stated firmly, wiping the tears away.

“I'm sorry for your loss, Avery,” Zach said glumly. “But our Luna is gone. The poison-”

“My sister is alive. Her powers had shut her body down to put all the strength in healing her lungs,” Avery cut him off and explained.

“Are you sure about this?” Zach asked curiously. None of us had seen such a case before. How could her body heal her poisoned lungs?

“Matilda is not only just Alpha Queen. She is the blessed wolf who can’t be killed with poison because she is the healer herself. Her powers aren't in their full forms yet. The poison can only weaken her powers for a while,” Avery stated firmly without any hesitation.

Matilda gasped for the air and all of us looked at her. | immediately held her hands. Her body was as cold as ice. There was an aura around her that was warm and strong, maybe it was her powers.

“She is really the rebirth of Venus. Her silver hair and powers and being the blessed wolf make sense because Venus was exactly like this. History is repeating itself,” Zach muttered, looking at Matilda in awe after checking her pulse.

“But why didn’t the antidote for the poison respond?” He asked Avery.

“Because her powers are the antidote and when she had one antidote already. How can her body respond to another antidote?” Her little sister was so smart, brave, and intelligent.

“How do you know all this stuff?” | asked in awe.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

doctors didn’t know.

| rubbed my wife’s hand and prayed that she would open her eyes soon.

“No, please, no,” she panicked and retracted her hand back.

Her hands wrapped around her chest as she suddenly woke up and sat on the bed, assuming that it was Vincent. | would kill that fu*ker soon.

“Relax, baby. It’s me, your husband,” | assured her, knowing why she reacted that way. Vincent was trying to rape her and that’s what she was dealing with before passing out.

She started crying when she calmed down and her breathing returned to normal. The tears streamed down her cheeks and | pulled her in my arms.

| patted her back and kissed her hair. “Please, stop crying, Tila. I’ll make every fu*king one pay.” | couldn’t see her crying. Her tears were burning my heart.

“Everyone has left. You can stop acting now,” she whispered with hatred after pushing me away and | looked around us. The doctors, Caleb, and Avery had left to give us privacy. “I'm not acting, Matilda,” | said and stretched my hand to hold hers but she got up from the bed.

“Please, stop this hot-cold behavior of yours. You demand respect and loyalty from me while you fu*k around with my enemy,” she barked and | couldn't believe that she was fighting with me right after fighting for her life.

This she—wolf was something else.

“| didn’t fu*k her, Matilda. | thought that it was you,” | explained with sincerity.

“I'm not stupid enough to believe you. | don’t even know how many wh*res you fu*k thinking that it’s me,” she rolled her eyes. | had never felt more helpless in my life than now. How to make her believe | didn’t

cheat on her?

“Isabel is still unconscious because Alpha pushed her against the wall in anger,” Serena said before suppressing her lips in guilt of eavesdropping on our conversation. “I came to check on Luna.”

“I'm grateful that you came or else my wife would never trust me,” | sighed and shook my head. She chewed her bottom lip in guilt. | pulled her lip out and started kissing the hell out

of her. | couldn’t imagine my life without her.

“| love you so much.” | closed my eyes in relief.

“What did you say?” Tila asked and then, | realized that | had said those words.

“Are you feeling pain anywhere in your body?” | changed the topic.

She shook her head in confusion. “I’m just feeling a bit weak but besides that, I’m alright.”

“Come with me,” | scooped her in my arms and carried her toward the pack grounds. She was still hesitant to my touch. Vincent had given her a trauma that would take a while to heal.

Caleb had prepared everything exactly how | had asked for. There was a trial in front of everyone. All the Alphas had reached there to witness what was going to happen to the person who dared to kill my wife.

Vincent and Isabel were brought by the guards in front of everyone else. Their hands were tied with silver chains and Vincent was brutally wounded which meant Jericho had unleashed his beast.

“Be the fu*king Queen that you are and punish him for what he did,” | told Matilda after letting go of her hand.

She nodded her head, walked closer to Vincent, and slapped him hard. “You fu*king bastard,” she spat on his face and punched him right across his jaw.

The sound of the breaking of the bones in his jaw was pretty satisfying. She kept beating him till her all anger got out and then, she slapped Isabel.

“That’s for touching my mate,” she paused and slapped her twice. “That’s for abusing me.” She then walked back to me and I gave a small peck on her cheek.

“|, Alpha King, Prescott White, deprive you of your Alpha title and banish you from all the packs,” | used my Alpha command and his almost lifeless and shaking body collapsed to the floor.

He groaned in pain as an Alpha being stripped of his title caused him a great deal of pain.

| yanked his hair and forced him to look into my eyes. My arm extended in Caleb’s direction as | sought the bottle of poison he had used a few drops of to attempt to kill

my mate.

“Either drink this poison or I'll ask my guards to throw you in that fire,” | pointed toward the huge fire | had asked them to set.
