Matilda
| sat beside my mate after helping Avery sit in the chair beside me and put my hand on his thigh to comfort him. Everyone looked at us with puzzled looks. Prescott would never explain to anyone though Alpha Mason was boiling in anger. He had clasped his fists together, staring at his son furiously
“We rejected each other as the Alpha King and Luna as he thought that we shared only that bond,” | lowered my head.
“That can’t be true. You’re our Luna. We will never accept anyone else as our Luna,” Jericho said sternly. Seeing the love and respect for me in their eyes, | felt so blessed and fortunate to be part of the Silver Claw pack.
“Um, Prescott and | are fated mates but he didn’t know until today and | apologize for keeping this from all of you.” | whispered in a low voice, expecting them to be disappointed in me.
“Why are you saying sorry to them? It’s our personal matter. You don’t owe them any explanation,” Prescott cupped my cheeks and put my head on his shoulder after tapping it gently.
“You did a good thing or this as shole would have severed that bond, too,” Alpha Mason growled, glaring at his son with hostility. “You owe all of us an apology, Prescott. The way you hurt your wife and mate and decided to marry that stu pid ex, it would have cost you your mate and pup’s life.”
Owen let out a mirthless chuckle. “Marry the ex? You surely have lost your mind, Prescott. You think too high of yourself but you're so stu pid that you don’t even know what she is.”
“What do you mean?” My mate asked.
Alpha Mason and Owen mind-linked each other.
| noticed that no one could look him straight in Owen’s eyes except for me and my sister. He didn’t have a powerful aura, he had a Godly aura that made you feel at peace and powerful, simply the reflection of our own aura.
He had the Godly features. A soothing smile, beautiful honey-colored eyes, and a lean body. His hair was so silky and soft that it would never get tangled. | wondered if he ever needed to use a comb. Owen was probably two hundred years old but looked like a man in his thirties. He looked way younger than everyone else. Everything about him was so soothing that one would never want to take their eyes off him.
Owen let out a defeated sigh and changed the subject to discuss the crown ceremony which should happen tonight as it was the full moon tonight.
Everyone else left, leaving me alone with Owen. Prescott wanted to have a chat with his father while my father was missing. No one knew about his whereabouts.
“Lola isn’t a werewolf, is she?” | probed after folding my hands.
Owen shook his head before raising his hands in surrender. “I knew that our Queen was smarter.”
Sat, 2 Mar
Chapter 67
“What is she, then? A witch? But | can smell her wolf,” | said to myself, not understanding that bit ch’s identity.
“You're very close to the answer, Matilda,” he encouraged me but didn’t tell me the answer straight.
My eyes widened as the revelation dawned upon me. “She is a hybrid.”
“Well, | need to leave now. You guys have consumed so much of my powers that I’m feeling. drained now And | have to perform my duty as the Chaplain in the ceremony. Your mate is such a fool to believe that he could become a King without me,” he scoffed, rolling his eyes dramatically.
| got out of his office and shuffled toward the apartment as | was famished. | wanted to fill my tummy with a delicious meal so | mind-linked the chef and asked him to prepare a s picy meal for me with hot chili garlic ramen and buy chocolate cupcakes from the bakery.
“It was a long day,” | muttered before jumping on the bed.
“You're not allowed to rest today,” Serena winked, carrying a few dresses in her hands.
“Our Luna needs to look best on her big day,” Mia smiled. Ivy followed them inside with a jewelry box whilst Mia carried the makeup box.
| scowled and made a puppy face. “The baby is so hungry but the food is not ready so please, let me rest till | get food.”
“Stop throwing tantrums, sis sy,” Avery said, crossing her arms and all of them started giggling. “You're just being lazy. The baby doesn’t need rest and besides that, you really need to look your best self tonight”
Ironically, Lola was going to get engaged to my husband tonight but the Moon Goddess had other plans.
“You don’t need to get ready right now. Just try these dresses and pick one for tonight. Then, cat as much as you want, and then, you can take a short nap. After that, you will take a quick shower and we will doll you up. Not that you really need the makeup but why not,” Serena chirped like my secretary, explaining my schedule.
| had no choice so | exhaled and the girls practically dragged me out of the bed. After trying all the dresses, they decided that the off-shoulder gown with sparkling lace on the borders would be the best for tonight.
Thanks to the Goddess, they didn’t want to practice makeup. | convinced them somehow to try the jewelry in the evening and shooed them away after finishing the delicious food the chef had made. The chocolate cupcakes from the bakery at the corner of the street were such a treat.
After filling my stomach with ramen, rolled omelet, and chicken pasta, | slept like a pig only to be woken up again by the girls who forced me out of bed and locked me inside the bathroom.
They did my makeup and hair while Avery helped me wear the platform heels. After getting dressed, | gleefully gobbled up the mashed potatoes with spi cy cheesy sauce and mac and cheese. The girls got dressed and | happily finished all the food by myself.
Chapter 67
My pup surely loved spi cy food and cheese a lot. Serena couldn't believe that | was eating such s picy food without having tears in my eyes while Avery poked fun at my hearty and pig-like appetite.
“Let's go, Tila,” Prescott knocked on the door but the girls instantly blocked his view of me and pushed him away..
“You will see your se xy mate at the ceremony. Avery teased him.
“That’s ridiculous. You can’t stop me from seeing my mate.” he tried to push his way past them but | heard a chuckle from Caleb as he joined his Alpha.
“Let the girls be, Alpha. We also won't let the Luna see our Alpha before the ceremony,” Caleb chimed in proudly.
“Yes, we will also hide our Alpha.” came Jericho's low voice from the outside.
“| want to see you, love, he whispered in a soft voice.
“You heard the girls, | smirked and could feel his annoyance through the link.
‘Fine. Come downstairs, soon, my mate sulked and left with his gang.
The girls had planned my grand entry and | never felt so fortunate in my life before. They were the best friends | could ever ask for. | really hoped that when they would turn eighteen, they would find their mates in this pack so | wouldn’t have to part ways with them.
| was unaware why they had insisted on me covering my face with a veil but | followed all the instructions given by them without questioning as | didn’t have any choice. Serena. Mia, and Ivy left to grab my bouquet. | didn’t know why they were so adamant about making me look like a bride when | didn’t even have my father to walk me down the aisle.
“| wished Dad and Mom would be here, too,” | whispered in a barely audible voice, looking at Avery who had a timid smile on her face.
“Trust me, it’s better that they are not here,” she pursed her lips. “Dad deliberately left today early in the morning with an excuse of meeting his old friends because he didn’t want to see you crying or throwing tantrums while Lola gets engaged to Prescott. He has turned a blind eye towards us. All he cares about is Alpha Prescott fighting this war as the Alpha King and protecting our species.”
She pulled me in a warm hug. “I missed you so much, Matty. | was so scared that Mom would marry me off to that witch and | might never see you again.”
Ablaze of anger surged through my chest. Why did Mom have to go to that extent? | didn’t understand why my parents had different opinions about the witches.
My Dad would rather keep Avery single for her whole life than marry her off to the Witch King while my Mom was pulling all kinds of acts to get either of us married to that asshole. hiding it from everyone:
“May | come in?” Owen flashed a warm smile at us, standing at the doorstep.
“Of course,” | waved him off.

“You're looking gorgeous, just like the Princess Venus,” he kissed my forehead.
“Chaplain Owen, would you please accompany our Luna walk down to the ceremony?” Serena politely asked, keeping her gaze down while Mia and Ivy helped me hold the bouquet of red roses.
“| would be honored to do so.” Owen enthusiastically replied. offering me his hand which | gladly took as the tears stung my eyes. | knew that Owen had come willingly to be there for me instead of my father.
