Escaping my arranged marriage with Alpha Prescott

Chapter 88

Matilda

My mother’s bloodline was blessed by the Moon Goddess so all the females were born with unique powers and abilities. Although my mother had spent years in Dylan’s cell and her body had endured his tremendous torture, she had recovered pretty quickly and was performing her duties as the healer.

My wolf was still weak, she wasn’t responding to me at all. She needed time to heal herself as she had put all her energy into fighting against the effect of wolfsbane and protecting my heart. My wolf had tried to heal the wound but the wolfsbane weakened her so she was unable to heal us.

“A few minutes more, honey,” Mom whispered, caressing my forehead before planting a deep kiss on my forehead. Her teardrop fell on my face as she pulled her face away, making me crease my brows and open my eyes slightly.

My eyelids felt heavier as if | was in a haze or a drunken state and even though | wanted to comfort her, nothing came out of my mouth. | scanned the whole room but my mate was nowhere to be seen. The burning sensation was too much to bear, it felt like my whole body was on fire and would explode anytime soon.

“W-where is Prescott?” | asked in a barely audible voice. | just hoped that somebody had listened to me and would tell me. “Alpha is in the next ward,” Zach replied, forcing a smile on his face to assure me but | knew that something was wrong.

“Go and heal him, Mom,” | said with a bit of frustration. He needed to get that f ucking poison out of his system within an hour and | knew that it had been more than an hour since we were brought to the hospital.

Was he still in danger? That’s why they had sorr faces...?

“Alpha is taking rest now, Luna” Jericho said, stepping inside the room. “Fiona’s blood worked as an antidote for him so he didn’t have to mark her. That f ucking poison is out of his system and Fiona is being held as the prisoner in the special cell created for rogues so there is zero chance of her

Serena is being held in another prison separately so she won't be able to harm anyone else now. Everything is under control, Luna. Don’t worry. Just let your mother heal you and then, we will head to the Blood Moon pack,” he explained everything while giving me assurance which | needed the most.

“You didn’t have to put Serena in the cell. She is innocent,” | muttered.

“It was Caleb’s decision. Alpha Mason never called him, she lied to trap you alone so Fiona could

| nodded my head and thanked him for taking care of everything when both of us were not there to guide him.

“Relax, Matilda. Close your eyes and let me heal you,” Mom suggested, smiling down at me.

“Wolfsbane is no longer in my body but I’m still feeling like my whole body is on fire,” | told her and Zach checked my temperature.

“Your temperature is normal.” He seemed baffled. My stomach twisted with an uneasy feeling. something wasn’t right.

“Let me heal you. It might go away after healing,” Mom said and | closed my eyes to let her do her work.

| gasped when a sharp pain rose in my chest for a second before disappearing completely. | could feel the wound in my chest healing as her powers entered my body.

“Open your eyes, sweetheart.” Mom took my hands in hers and sat on the bed beside me. “Is the burning still there?”

| reluctantly shook my head, | didn’t want her to be worried about me. Besides the burning had dropped down and with time, it would also vanish soon.

Sighing heavily, | inhaled a deep breath to calm my erratic heart. “Has anyone tried to investigate Fiona? The rogues who had attacked were feral, their bodies carried the poison yet they were alive. | wonder how they could be alive when they had poison in their bodies?”

“With the dark magic, Dylan creates poisons and then, he feeds it to them in small portions to make their bodies get used to it. Whoever consumes it, doesn’t even realize when the dark magic takes control of them and makes them do the things they were never capable of doing,” Mom divulged, letting out an exasperated sigh.

It must be painful for her to remember those worst days of her life. She had experienced extensive acts of cruelty up close and for far too long. Even now, she was hesitant to be touched or looked at. Her soul was scarred and her eyes always carried a hint of doubt and fear. | felt so bad for her, she had to go through all that because of her evil sister.

“May | ask you something?” Zach asked, looking at my mother who swallowed hard before nodding

“How can we save ourselves from not getting affected by their dark magic or spells?” He wore a

grim expression, crossing his arms across his chest.

“There is always light wherever the darkness is. We need to be strong enough to choose the light and fight against evil. The ultimate protection lies within ourselves, we just need to focus on it and be wary of our surroundings. | know that it’s easier said than done but | don’t have any idea about the protection from the witches except this. Never show them fear when they look into your eyes and try to manipulate you because they feed on the fear. Your wolf can protect you if you let him take control,” she articulated quietly.

“Once we shift to the Blood Moon pack, you won't have to be worried about it because Owen has made sure that the place will have no effect of their magic or spell, | assured Zaph who seemed to be relieved after hearing my words.

“Anyways. | want to see my mate now,” | excused myself, getting up from the bed.

“Alpha is taking rest and so should you.” Jericho insisted, standing in my way.

“Step aside. Jericho, | commanded and he bowed in submission before following my order. There was definitely something wrong

| could smell my mate’s faint earthy oak scent as | got out of my ward. | opened the door to find him lying on the bed unconsciously, his body still pale but the bluish effect of the poison on his skin was gone..

The steady rise and fall of the chest was barely visible beneath the layers of wires and tubes, indicating life amid the stillness. The heart monitor beeped steadily, a reassuring sound amidst the silence. Tears welled up in my eyes and my hands clamped over my mouth. | dashed toward him and put my head on his chest, crying my heart out.

-Wake

up, baby,” | pleaded in a hushed tone. My heart sank when | couldn't feel the sparks of our mate bond when | touched him.

My eyes wandered to his neck and my heart galloped in my chest when | found my mark gone from his neck.
