Escaping my arranged marriage with Alpha Prescott by J Belladonna

Chapter 129 Matilda “You're being too much now,” | frowned, crossing my arms over my chest and not opening my mouth to eat when he was spoon-feeding me, He had installed a new security system in our apartment, had fired all the cooks or should I say that shifted them to his father’s apartment, and had assigned guards forwho stayed right out of our room and followedeverywhere | would go like a shadow.

Prescott was acting so overprotective and skeptical all the tthat it annoyedto the point where | regretted telling him about my pregnancy. | understood his concern forbut it didn’t mean he would have to sn atch my personal space and privacy for my safety.

He would return from work early to cook and feedwith his hands. It seemed romantic and sweet for a while but after a few days, | got tired of his overprotectiveness.

“I'm not feeding you, I'm feeding my baby,” he feigned a frown, indicating his eyes toward my belly. “Now, open your mouth and finish this soup. Zach has suggested that you should eat healthy foods and we are going to follow all of his recommendations to have our baby healthy.” I didn’t like that chicken broccoli soup, it madefeel like | was sick when | was just pregnant, not sick unless a bit of morning sickness and sometimes, dizziness and mood swings counted in being sick. | opened my mouth nonetheless and finished the soup before rolling my eyes and leaving the kitchen to take a shower.

Today was a big day for us. We would get to know the gender of the baby and | was so excited and nervous at the stime. Mom's bloodline didn’t have a son, all of the females gave birth to strong girls. None of them were able to give birth to a son.

I didn’t mind it, nor did Prescott. But deep down, | wanted a little Alpha who would have the eyes of my mate and those striking features like his father, a boy who would be a mini version of my mate. | secretly wished for a boy.

Clad in a floral dress that reached above my knees, | tied my hair up into a ponytail and applied light makeup.

Once | looked presentable enough, | left the 1/4 [I [e] < Chapter 129 room while Prescott was busy in the meeting with a neighbor pack’s Alpha who had cto invite us to his son’s Alpha ceremony.

He was an old friend of Alpha Mason so he insisted that he stayed a while longer with his daughter who had accompanied him. She was such a lovely meek girl whom | liked the moment | glanced at her.

| headed to his office as he wasn’t back yet and there was no way that he would letgo alone so | decided to join him in the meeting and then, we would leave for the hospital together.

“John and Daniel, you guys can stop following me. I'm just going to the office,” | rolled my eyes at them in annoyance.

They didn’t respond, instead, lowered their heads and halted. “We're just following the Alpha’s orders,” John spoke in a low voice, fear was evident in his voice.

Ugh, Prescott.

“I'm your Luna and I'm ordering you to-" | was about to use my command on them when Daniel looked up in fear and opened his mouth.

“Please, don’t do this, Luna. Alpha will punish us if we don’t follow his orders,” he pleaded.

John shook his head and begged, “Please, Luna, don’t use your command on us. Alpha has warned us beforehand that if we let you go alone anywhere, we will lose our jobs and will be punished thoroughly and won't be allowed to visit our families for a week.” this with this with my mate. He That was brutal and unfair. | would have to talk a bo couldn’t punish them severely when they weren't even at fault.

| stomped my foot in defeat and continued walking towards his office.

A low sound of moaning madehalt in my tracks. | was just ten feet the office and could hear a female voice moaning. Her scent seemed awfully familiar but | couldn't recognize it yet.

away from My heart was pounding in my chest like a drum. Fear was crippling my senses as a foreboding feeling empoweredand | anticipated the worst. My wolf was agitated and pacing restlessly in the back of my mind, feeling the sfear | was feeling in her bones.

2/4 A Chapter 129 “Go back to the apartment, now,” | commanded them and they stayed glued to their spot, surrendering to my command. | could deal with them later and | would make sure that they wouldn't get punished for this but for now, | didn’t need them to seeeavesdropping on my mate.

There were only two people in his office, | could tell from the heartbeats. | maintained enough distance from the door of his office so he wouldn't get alert. | had to hold my hands together to stop them from shivering.

“I'm your fated mate, Alpha. You can’t turn yourself away from me. I'm ready to accept your wife and chosen mate, | don’t want the title of your Luna. | just want you. | just want your love, Alpha Prescott,” her voice was sweet and desperate. She was so in love with my mate... No, he wasn’t my fated mate anymore so he was hers now? The thought alone struck a chord within my heart and an emotion akin to jealousy surged in my heart. After everything that we had gone through, | had hoped for a happily ever after with my mate. We weren't fated mates but we had accepted each other as chosen mates and promised that no matter what, we would not leave each other's side.

| still remembered the pull of the mate bond between Prescott andwhen we were fated mates so even if he chose to stay with her, | couldn't blhim but will he really forget me? Will he break his promise and rejectas his mate? | knew that he wouldn't rejectright away because | was carrying his baby insideand after my previous miscarriages, he wouldn't dare rejectwhile | was pregnant. He might rejectafter giving birth to his pup.

No. He wouldn't do that to us. My wolf snarled atfor overthinking and forcedto get a hold of myself.

Prescott loved me. He would never choose someone else over me. | knew in my heart that he had lovedlike breathing. He would never leave me.

| “You're nothing tobut a burden that the Moon Goddess has forced uponand | want to get rid of it. Hadn't you escaped when | smelled you in the town, would have rejected you right away,” CPrescott’s cold reply and | heaved a sigh in relief.

Yes, | was selfish and didn’t want to think about the girl who was inside, begging for 3/4 111 [e] 4 11:18 Mon, 25 Mar Chapter 129 his love. | didn’t want to share him. He was mine alone.

“How can you be so heartless to me? What's my fault in this if the Moon Goddess has pairedwith you?” She started sobbing, pain was unmistakable in the timbre of her voice. “I can’t help but feel drawn to you like a moth is drawn to flame. Did you even bother to think about me? I'm also accepting a man who is already head over heels for his chosen mate and wants to do nothing with me.” “Then, don’t. You don’t have to acceptin the first place. | will reject you and you will accept my rejection. It's as simple as that,” Prescott growled in frustration. | could already imagine him rubbing his temple and pinching the bridge of his nose, something that he always did whenever he restrained his anger.

Relief washed overlike a tidal wave. He wasn’t accepting his fated mate and rejecting him for me. He was keeping his promise and | couldn’t be happier about that. My wolf also calmed down and stopped pacing restlessly in my mind. We shared a moment of relief and were assured that we were irreplaceable in his life.

“It’s not as simple as it seems to you,” she protested, grating on my nerves now. | had had enough. She was trying to steal my mate fromand | couldn't just stand and listen to her pleas. She had to accept that she had no chance with my mate. He was mine and | had no plans of sharing.

| took a step forward toward his office before | felt dizzy again so | held onto the table in the corner to steady myself.

“You will feel slight pain but after rejection is done, you will heal and feel nothing sort of what you're feeling right now,” Prescott muttered through gritted teeth.

“I will not accept your rejection,” she bluntly told him.

“I'm a fucking Alpha. | can force you to accept my rejection,” my mate threatened her and it was the last thing that | heard before passing out.
