Escaping my arranged marriage with Alpha Prescott by J Belladonna

Chapter 17

Prescott

The marks of someone’s nails on Matilda’s neck infuriated my wolf. It sure as hell looked as the marks a wolf would give while fu*king a she–wolf but my mate would never cheat on me.

Whoever did that to my wife had called a war upon themselves. There was no way that I wd let it slide.

Scars for scars.

“No one,” she lied, stealing her gaze from me.

I grabbed her chin and made her look into my eyes. “Don’t lie to me, Tila. Tell me or I’ll find it my way and it won’t be good for the person you’re trying to protect.”

“I’m not trying to protect him,” she countered furiously, her eyes blazing golden mixed with lilac.

“Then, tell me,” I wooed her, cupping her cheeks to calm her down.

“I can fight my battles on my own. There was no term in the contract that you’ll have to protect me,” my mate retorted icily before turning her heels on and I let her go.

The bastard was fuc*ing a girl who ran away after covering herself with the sheet as soon as she saw me.

“How dare you lay your filthy hands on my mate?” I growled thunderously after punching him in the face.

“I didn’t do it. She might be cheating on you with Gabriel. She has been begging me to fu*k her since she was in the Lunar pack. You may ask Isabel. She was punished several times for throwing herself on me by my sister but I kept refusing her,” Cole said hastily and earned another punch from me.

I strangled his throat and his feet dangled in the air. The fu*ker was lying to me. She had been so in love with her fated mate that she endured all the pain he put her through. Matilda would never cheat on her mate.

It made me feel so jealous of Gabriel because he was her first love and she gave up on
