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.
And my mate...
He pushed me into the realm of death.
Gabriel not only left me alone to die there but also pushed me down the road to
buy some time to hide from the wolves who had attacked. He didn't care if the
wolves killed me or r'ped me.
Perhaps I was too naive to believe in those stories. Instead of protecting me, my
mate tried to kill me himself.
The wolves closed in, as the wolves circled me, their eyes gleaming with hunger,
and a sense of despair washed over me. I was going to die there.
It was a fate I had never imagined, and the bitterness of it all consumed me.
My heart thumped in my chest, anticipating being shredded to my limbs by those
hungry wolves.
Perhaps it was the end of all of my sufferings.
The Moon Goddess sent those brutal wolves to end my meaningless life because
I couldn't reject my snobbish mate who never gave a f**k about me.
“I hurt my parents by escaping the arranged marriage so it's my punishment to
die like this,” I whispered to myself, closing my eyes and twisting my fists by my
side, embracing my fate.
A commanding voice cut through the chaos. “Hold.”
The wolves froze. A tall, imposing figure emerged from the shadows.
Every step he took toward me, he oozed the power and an aura of superiority
that even alpha Vincent didn’t have. He carried an air of dominance that felt
charged with danger. His ash brown hair fell over his forehead, covering his misty
gray eyes. His gaze was so intense that I found myself staring back at him
unblinkingly.
“Are you okay, Princess?” He asked coldly, not bothered by the wolves who were
surrounding us.
His thick voice showed no emotion, maybe he was just pretending to care
because he didn't know that I was no longer a princess and wanted to make the
best of the current moment by being my savior. Everyone wanted something from
me because I was the royal princess whom they could use for their own benefit.
I threw him a disdainful glance. “I'm nobody and I don’t need you to save me.”
A smirk twitched his lips before he got back to his feet and all the wolves looked
down in submission, leaving me in awe. I looked around and found the eight
wolves surrounding us yet they didn’t dare to fight just one Alpha.
How ridiculous it was to see those cowards bowing to that one powerful Alpha
whom they could easily kill.
“Leave her alone. You all can prepare to leave,” he commanded.
One of them shifted back to his human form and stood there naked. Unbothered.
I immediately averted my gaze from him, feeling embarrassed, though I could
feel a piercing gaze on my back that surely belonged to that dangerous Alpha.
“The Alpha and Beta of the Lunar pack have escaped. Alpha,” he informed as if
he was obliged to tell him that. And I realized that the dangerous man who saved
me was the Alpha of those bloodthirsty wolves.

“Who the f**k are you?” I asked, pushing his hands off my leg.
“Watch your tone. Princess,” he retorted, throwing daggers at me with those gray
orbs.
“I told you, pervert, I'm not a princess. Leave me alone,” I screamed out, feeling
frustrated as shooting pain in my head overpowered me.
“And I told you to watch your tone, spoiled brat,” he spat, letting go of my hand
and hoisting me up into his embrace. “Ask me nicely and I might tell you.”
I sighed, feeling dizzy. “Who are you and why did you protect me?” My voice
came out as a slur as my eyelashes fluttered, making it hard for me to keep my
eyes open.
“I'm Alpha Prescott with whom your marriage was arranged and I have come for
you. To take you with me. You're my arranged wife, Princess Matilda Spencer,”
he explained with a poker
face, his eyes fixated on me, gauging my expression while he carried me
somewhere in his arms.
I stared at him in disbelief. Alpha Prescott was my betrothed, the man I had run
away from to escape an arranged marriage.
