Escaping my arranged marriage with Alpha Prescott by J Belladonna

Darkness engulfed me

Matilda

Gabriel had chosen to save Isabel.

My heart ached, and my wolf prowled restlessly.

I had anticipated this. Deep down, I knew that he would choose his childhood love over me but when it happened, it shattered my heart. My wolf howled in agony as the pain of not being chosen empowered me.

Before the wolves started the next round’s attack, I turned to Gabriel, my voice trembling with hurt and humiliation.

“Why, Gabriel? Why did you choose her over me?” The words escaped my lips in a quivering whisper. Though I thought I’d known the reason.

He looked at me, his jade-green eyes cold and indifferent. “Matilda, you’re no longer a princess so you have no worth in my life,” he replied with a callousness that made my heart shiver. “Isabel has a class, beauty, status, and power. She is a strong woman, the daughter of the Alpha while you have no class.”

His words were like a dagger to my heart. I had sacrificed everything, abandoned my royal title, and fled an arranged marriage to be with him. And now, in my darkest hour, he had discarded me like a worthless relic.

Tears welled up in my eyes, but I blinked them away, refusing to show weakness in front of him. “Then, why didn’t you reject me till now?”

“I don’t have time for the pain that rejection will bring. Consider this my rejection,”

He muttered through gritted teeth before pushing me off the small downhill path that would lead me back to the packhouse. My head collided with a large stone and I could feel the hot liquid breaking out from my skin.

My grandmother used to tell me stories about the fated mates who would die for you. The fated mates loved each other so much that sometimes they couldn’t bear the pain of rejection or the

death of their mate so they would die, too.
