Chapter 37

Matilda

“She has naturally silver hair, pretty strange.”

‘She has purple eyes.”

“She is weird as f u*k.”

| picked up on the subtle murmur of teenage high-school girls talking quietly about me. | was weird for humans. My features didn’t fit into ordinary humans.

“Hey, babe,” Gabriel hid his face behind a bouquet of red roses. He was trying hard to get me back but | couldn’t bring myself to like him yet.

He leaned in to kiss me but | turned my face so his lips kissed my cheek.

My heart was too broken to be mended by him. Perhaps | couldn’t love anyone after

him.

“Thank you.” | put the bouquet aside and continued wiping the table.

“You didn’t like it?” He asked.

“| love it. I’m just getting late. The restaurant is having busy hours so,” | shrugged. “You should get back to your work, too.” “Okay. Don’t take leftovers from the restaurant tonight. I’m taking you out for dinner. It'll be our first date,” he waved me goodbye. Alady in the shades and scarf called out for me so | went there and wrote down her order.

“Matilda,” she spoke, standing up from her chair.

She removed her glasses and | met with her hazel eyes. “Mom,” my hands flew over my mouth.

“Shush,” she sat down on her chair.

‘Matilda, honey. How are you? Why are you here?’ She used our mind-link to talk. Being the Alpha Queen, | could mind-link with any wolf.

‘Mom, you're fine. I’m glad to finally meet you’ | got the signal that she didn’t want to

be seen while talking to me so | resumed my work after getting away from her.

She must have a reason for staying in hiding in this town.

‘Of course, I’m fine. You should have felt this by our power bond. Tell me why are you here?’ She asked, getting impatient.

‘My husband was cheating on me so | ran away. He would have found me if | had stayed within werewolves’ territory so | moved to human town, | answered her questions.

‘Did you make him confess or just watch him and decide to leave?’ Mom inquired.

“| saw him, heard him telling his Mistress that he would soon abandon me so | left him before he could dump me,’ | replied, serving the order to those girls who were eyeing me upside down.

“You came here alone?’ She was investigating me like a cop.

‘No. | came here with Gabriel. | sighed.

“Your fated mate with whom you eloped?’ She guessed and | nodded my head, looking in her direction. | didn’t want to tell her that Prescott was my second chance mate.

“You have to leave this town, Matilda. Listen to me carefully, you'll go back to your husband’s pack. It’s not a safe place for you. You're the Alpha Queen now so you have to go back to your realm and perform your duties. Ignore your husband. Your people need you there.’ She advised me. ‘Come to the washroom.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

| went inside the washroom and she enveloped me in a warm embrace. “Oh, honey. | missed you so much.””

“| missed you, too, Mom. Why are you not coming back?” | asked her, laying my head. on her shoulder.

“You don’t know what's coming, sweetie. A war is knocking on our door and as the blessed wolf, | have some responsibilities,” she wiped the tears off my cheeks and kissed my forehead.

“You're the Alpha Queen, Matilda. You can’t let your husband break you and Gabriel, he’s a sl ave of the Witch King so | suggest you leave as soon as Alpha Prescott comes here to take you back,” she uttered with a grim expression on her face.

That meant Gabriel knew Dylan. He lied to me. | shouldn’t have expected him to change.

“Prescott found me?” | wasn’t too shocked but the fact that my Mom knew almost everything, stunned me more.

“How do you

know everything when you're living among humans?” | held her hands,. her touch soothing me.

“This town is filled with witches and hybrids. The word spreads like a fire here. That’s why you need to go back,” she muttered in a hushed tone.

Werewolves didn’t let the hybrids live among them.

“Dylan Kane is the new Witch King who wants revenge on werewolves for killing his mother. Make sure that you keep explained what we were trying tourself and our family safe. He wants you,” Mom

find and it all started making sense.

“Keep this necklace with you. I'll guide you to learn and control your powers via this. Rub the diamond whenever you need me.” Mom removed her necklace which had a purple diamond and made me wear it.

She fondled my hair with a smile on her face. “I’m so proud of you. | know that you'll perform your duties very well.”

you, Mom,”

“| love you,

Mom,” | threw my arms over her once again.

“| love you, too, honey. Now, | have to leave,” she kissed my cheek and left.

| was elated after meeting my Mom. Whatever she said didn’t make much sense to me but | knew that if Mom said something, | should follow it blindly.

People’s shrieks made me run out of the washroom.

“There you are,” Prescott said with a wicked smile on his face.

My heart rabbitted within my chest after seeing him. He looked so pale, the bags. beneath his eyes made him look so tired as if he had been starved.

Caleb and Jericho came forward to take me and | let out a long exasperated sigh.

“Let's go, Luna,” Caleb said coldly. The playfulness in his tone was gone.

“Don't try to run. The whole area is surrounded by our people,” Jericho informed me.

| nodded my head and started walking, Caleb was leading me and Jericho was following me, making me feel like a criminal whom cops came to arrest. The restaurant was empty and the manager as dead. His lifeless body was lying on the floor.

Prescott opened the door for me and hopped into the car after me.

“Are you insane?” | screamed, looking at his hand.

| tried to touch his hand but he took his hand away from my reach. The glass in his hand must be giving him too much pain but he was a ps ycho who enjoyed pain.

“My Beta and Ga mma know about the contract marriage so don’t act like you care,” he stated coldly, not even looking at me. “Thank Goddess. You don’t have to act either so it’s good for both of us,” | shrugged, playing cool.

“Where is that ba sta rd?” Prescott growled..

“I'll not let you harm him. He just helped me to stay safe in this strange place,” | defended him. | knew that if | told him the whereabouts of Gabriel, he would kill him brutally.

“Your love for him is sickening,” he gagged, holding his neck.

“What can | do when he is so loyal and caring? | suppressed my lips, acting like | missed Gabriel.

“Shut the f u*k up or I'll fill f u*k your sharp mouth,” he threatened me and | didn’t want to taste his limits so | shut my mouth. My wolf had already missed him so much. She was dying to get touched by him.

“Dylan Kane is holding a press conference,” Jericho informed us..

“He loves his image in the media. Let’s ruin it,” Prescott smirked.
