“You'll have to hide your identity,” Prescott said, “Just because you saved my wife from Vincent, I’m letting you stay here till you recover. Then, you'll be provided with money for a week’s expenses and travel expenses.
“Thank you so much, Alpha King,” | bowed to him.
“Please, meet me for once, Matty.” | wrote it down on paper, handed her without being noticed by everyone else, and left from there.

“| loved you, too, Matilda. | was just blinded by the rage and revenge that Vincent had put into my mind,” | said, defending myself.
“You didn’t love me. You loved Isabel. You abused me and let everyone else in your pack abuse me. You were going to marry Isabel because you loved her, not me,” she accused, locking me dead in the eye.
“You have changed, Matty. The girl | knew loved me so much that she would understand me and forgive me,” | pressed my lips, feeling dejected.
She giggled sarcastically. “| had to change to protect myself from the liars like you. not a weak she—wolf anymore.” “I'm nota liar, baby,” | whispered after tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear. Im
| cupped her cheeks and kissed her forehead. “When | said | love you, | fu*king meant it. | had to fight my feelings for you and my wolf always craved you.”
Matilda smiled tauntingly before putting her hands on mine and forcing them to move. away from her face. “You kept Isabel as your Mistress, Gabriel. She abused me, hit me, hurt me and you never cared about me. You didn’t crave me when you were fu*king her. Now that | have become the Alpha Queen and got over you, you want me back?”
Atueful chuckle escaped through her lips. “I hate you, Gabriel.”
“No, you love me. You still love me,” | held her arms and shook them. “Il saw how much you were hurting when Prescott expelled me from the pack. You still care about me. You still love me.”
“Let go of me or I'll rip your hand from your body,” she growled, warning me, and the strong aura she rolled off forced me to let her go.
“| was confused if | still had feelings for you but then, | realized that it was just pity. You used me for your revenge and Vincent used you for his revenge. | know how it feels to be just a pawn in someone’s game,” she said gloomily.
She was smarter than | had given her credit for. “This is love, Matty, not pity. | saved you from Vincent because | love you. We'll be together finally after going through all those shits.”
“You saved me because you wanted to impress me and my Alpha. We're never getting back together,” she spat furiously.
“I'm sorry. Vincent had manipulated me and | believed his lies,” | kneeled in front of her. “Please, don’t punish me like this. | can’t live without you.”
My mate scoffed, “Your sorry can’t fix anything. Suck it up and leave this pack.” 111

“What should | do to get your forgiveness? I’ll do anything for you, baby,” | begged her. “You escaped from your arranged marriage for me, Matty. You'll do it again for your first love, won't you?”
“That was the biggest mistake of my life. Alpha Prescott was my destiny. | should have accepted my fate and rejected you,” she folded her hands and stared out of the window with a smile.
“You're my mate. You can’t accept Prescott. | can still smell your pure lavender scent and there is no mark on your neck. You
haven't marked or mated with him because you love me,” | told her and she looked at me in disbelief.
“Are you insane, Gabriel? | have rejected you. There is nothing left between us. I’m content with my husband. Given a million times, I'll choose him over and over again. He'll mark me in front of the council. We're royals,” she uttered with certainty which scared me.
She couldn’t move on from me that easily. | wanted her. She was mine. She was still my mate.
“You can’t choose that ruthless creature. He is a monster. He'll only hurt you in the end. You'll regret choosing him, Matty,” | tried to manipulate her. “He is just using you to gain the power and position of the King. He will discard you as soon as he is done with you.”
“| dare you call him a monster again and you will regret meeting me,” she growled murderously.
“Fine,” | raised my hands in defense. “You're just mad at me, Matilda. Take your time and think about it. I’m not greedy for the King’s position. I'll take you to the town and we'll live among humans in peace, away from all this chaos. I'll wait for you in the woods tomorrow at 4 am. We can escape together and I'll prove how much | love you. Just give me a chance.”
| played my last card. Matilda didn’t say anything but the rigid expressions on her face hurt me.
“You're just obsessed with me. I’m not your mate anymore so don’t wait for me,” she said coldly before turning her heels on. | had to wait for the right time.
| took some rest and then, headed towards the woods, hoping to find Matilda there. “Hello, friend,” a she—wolf flashed a smile at me. “Why are you leaving so soon?” “Who are you?” | asked her. | hadn’t seen her before.
“I'm Phoebe. My witch friend can help you get what you want,” she smirked.
