Escaping my arranged marriage with Alpha Prescott Chapter 75

Chapter 75

Prescott

The screeching sound of the cars awakened me as they halted at the parking. Matilda was still fast asleep and I didn’t want to wake her up so I slowly crawled out of the bed, putting a pillow in my place so she could place her arm around it.

“Alpha,” Caleb sighed, getting out of his car and I found Serena climbing out of the passenger seat.

“Well, it seems like you had a good journey,” I smirked, looking between them.

“Oh, Please, Alpha,” Serena pouted, rolling her eyes, “Your Camma’s car was packed with Avery and Alpha Sheldon so I had no other choice than sitting in this jerk’s car.”

Serena was like a little sister to me and I owed her an apology for mistreating her while growing up. Because of Lola’s manipulation and magic, I always scolded Serena without even checking who was

at fault.

“Alpha Sheldon is back?” I shot my brows, looking at my Beta. He didn’t inform me that over the phone call last night.

“Sorry, Alpha. I forgot to tell you that. Alpha Sheldon came back after getting the news of Beatrice. He doesn’t seem well though. Something is odd about him since he has returned,” My Beta conveyed, his eyes still checking out Serena as she walked inside the palace.

“Stop checking her as s out, Caleb. She is not into you,” I rebuked, putting my hand under my chin.

He flashed me a goofy smile and took the bags out of the trunk. Another car parked up behind his and I saw my Gam ma and my mate’s family rushing toward me.

“Where is she?” Avery asked eagerly.

“She is in your father’s chamber but she hasn’t woken up yet. The Witch who helped us had to cast a sleeping spell on her so,” I suppressed my l*ps, explaining the situation.

“Who was that witch?” Alpha Sheldon probed, staring at me adversely.

I didn’t know why but my instincts didn’t allow me to share that information with anyone. I didn’t want the word to get out and put Riya’s life in danger so I sealed my l*ps and lied, “I don’t remember her name.”

“Where have you been all these days?” I questioned him and he swallowed an invisible lump in his throat, looking away from me.

“I was at a friend’s pack. Anyways, I would like to meet my mate now,” said he before strutting away.

Either he was too sick or too shocked after getting all the information about Beatrice and Camilla. After all, it was too much to take in and the thought alone of going through the betrayal he faced by his mate’s evil sister made my blood boil. Had I been in his place, I would have ripped Beatrice’s heart for making my mate suffer a great deal of pain.

“He looks too calm for his situation,” Jericho pointed out.

“I think he needs time to process it. He is in shock.” I said, motioning them to move inside the palace.

They followed me, carrying all the luggage and I couldn’t help but frown at the sight of bags. They had packed the bags as if they had come for a vacation.

“Woah, the palace is opulent. It’s oozing regality and elegance,” Serena remarked, looking at the high ceilings of the hallway where a golden chandelier was hanging in the middle.

“I didn’t expect you to have a tour of the palace. I thought that you would attend to the Luna.” Caleb spoke, walking closer to her.

“I wonder why you’re the Beta of our pack. You’re such a du mbas s,” she scowled. “Luna must be sleeping or she would have come with Alpha.”

She was smarter than I gave her credit for. “Maybe I should have a female Beta,” I suggested, earning a glare from Caleb.

When we reached here last night, it was dark and since no one lived here anymore, the place didn’t have any source of light. I fixed the electricity and luckily, a few bulbs were still working.

The last time when I came here, I was humiliated in front of all the Alphas because my bride had eloped. I had taken an oath to find her and make her mine. At that time, I wasn’t aware of fate’s game. Who knew that I would fall in love with her and Moon Goddess would make her my fated

mate?

Sunlight cascaded through towering stained glass windows, casting a kaleidoscope of colors across the marble floors. The palace sprawled majestically, its spires reaching towards the heavens. There was a meticulous garden but unfortunately, the trees and flowers were dying there as no one was there to take care of them.

My mate had grown up in-such a beautiful place, surrounded by nature and then, there were lakes. in the Blood Moon pack which were prevalent amongst the werewolves.

“Good morning, my Alpha,” she purred, yawning and stretching her arms when I opened the door.

“You’re up, sweetheart,” I k*ssed her cheek. “Your family has arrived. Serena, my Beta and Gam ma have come, too.”

“What?” Her eyes widened in horror. “It’s not the right time to leave the pack. At least, your Beta or Ga mma should have stayed back. Dylan must be plotting something and the Silver Claw pack would be his first target.”

She was right. I wondered why I didn’t think about my pack’s safety and called all of them here.

“Let’s have a meeting at the breakfast and then, I will ask them to leave,” I said, agreeing with her.

Matilda got off her bed and dashed toward her mother’s room to check on her. She sighed after seeing her lying on the bed unconsciously. Camilla’s condition within the cell indicated a significant deterioration in her me ntal well-being as well as her physical health.

Her malnourished state was evident through creased skin and visible bones, reflecting the consequences of enduring starvation. Her face had a long scar and a deep cut. Dylan had crossed all the levels of cruelty.

“Don’t worry, love. She will wake up soon.” I assured her, giving her shoulders a small squeeze.

“Matty.” Avery rushed to hug her sister. They chatted for a while before all of us gathered at the breakfast table.

I explained what Matilda suggested and my Beta and Ga mma decided to go back as I was here to take care of everything else.

“I think we should also head to your pack as the palace is lacking the food and necessary arrangements.” Alpha Sheldon spoke for the first time.

“Since Luna is pregnant, we really should get back to our pack, Serena agreed, nodding her head at Tila.

“Everyone should head back. Camilla and I will stay here,” Alpha Sheldon declared authoritatively.

“No. I will not leave Mom alone at any cost.” Tila countered, getting up from the table after

1 finishing her food.

“You’re forgetting that she is my mate first and I will decide where she lives.” Sheldon barked, shaking in anger.

What was wrong with him? Why was he losing his temper over something so trivial?

“Do not raise your voice at my mate,” I said through clenched teeth. “Camilla will live with us. I think two cars are enough for us and the journey from here to my pack is just three hours long so it’s decided that all of us will be living in an hour.”
