Escaping my arranged marriage with Alpha Prescott by J Belladonna

Chapter 35
Matilda
I had to go back to collect my things and sword. Last time, when I escaped,
Gabriel was with me but this time, I was escaping alone and had nowhere to go
so I had to think about my safety, too.
The woods seemed so dark in the middle of the night as the moonlight didn’t
reach here. I couldn't live in the Silver Claw pack after knowing how their Alpha
was betraying me and manipulating me.
I followed my instincts and shuffled on the path where I found no guards. After
reaching a few miles away, my legs gave away so I stopped to catch my breath.
“Matilda,” a familiar voice called my name in the dark but I couldn't see the face
so I put myself in a fighting position, keeping my guards on.
It's me, Matilda,” Gabriel came out of the dark. “What are you doing here?”
He held my arms and checked if I was wounded. I needed someone to confide in
and Gabriel the person whom Goddess sent here to help me so I let my guard
down and took a long breath to fill my lungs with air before breaking into a sob.

I knew that I couldn't say anything to my family because Avery was too young to
help and Dad would never listen to me. He had warned me multiple times to keep
my eyes. only for Prescott but he couldn't tell that to Prescott because male
Alphas were allowed to do whatever the fu*k they wanted.
“You were right, Gabriel,” I sobbed hard as the flashbacks of my mate with
Phoebe emerged in my mind.
Gabriel patted my back soothingly. “Shush. Stop crying for that bastard. He
doesn’t deserve your tears. I'm with you, okay?”
He wiped my tears off. “Look at me, Matty,” he said softly, making me look into
his jade—green eyes which were full of concern for me.
“You're not alone. I'm with you,” he said firmly and I nodded before hugging him
tightly.
“You should be in the human town. What are you doing here?” I asked perplexed.
“I couldn't give up on us. I knew that my love was true and you'd come back to
me so I was staying here in hiding, waiting for you,” he pointed toward a small
cave and took me inside.

I regretted being so harsh with him. I gave Prescott my everything and still, it
wasn't enough for him. He cheated on me and betrayed me while Gabriel stayed
in this shabby place, waiting for me.

We decided to stay in the cave for the night and then, leave early in the morning
for the
town.
“I had saved money for us,” Gabriel said after we reached the town via taxi. “Let
me buy breakfast and then, we'll look for a place to stay.”
We went inside a cafe and ate fried eggs with chicken sandwiches. He paid for
everything. I felt guilty for not taking cash. I was being a burden on him.
I asked the waitress for the way to the washroom and then, went to the counter.
“Hi. I'm new in the town. I'm looking for a job,” I told the man who was perhaps
the
manager.
“We're not hiring but the restaurant in the corner of the street is looking for a
waitress, he politely replied with a genuine smile.
“Thank you so much.” I left from there and sat next to Gabriel.
“I don’t want to be a burden on you since you had money for just one person and
you have been paying for two people for everything, I have decided to do a job,” I
told him.
“You don't have to work, Matty. I'll find a job soon. I have found a place that is on
rental,” he assured me, squeezing my hands in his before gently kissing the back
of my hand.
I retracted my hands immediately. My wolf didn't like to be touched by him since
he was no longer our mate.
“Um, I'm sorry. I just need some time and space,” I swallowed, feeling guilty.
“It's okay. I understand,” he nodded his head, assuring me.
He eventually agreed with my job and we walked toward the place he had found.
Our place wasn't far from the restaurant where I was planning to work. I took a
shower and got ready quickly.
“I'm off to work,” I bid goodbye to him and he told me to take care of myself.
The manager interviewed me but since I had no experience, they were reluctant
to give me the job. He attended a phone call and then, said yes which was weird
but I was happy that I got the job,
He explained my work and I started working as a waitress in that restaurant. My

served her a chocolate latte.
When I was about to move to the next customer, I saw a glimpse of Dylan from
the window so I left the tray on the table and followed him.
1 hid behind the wall and tried to listen to his conversation with someone but I
couldn't hear anything. I peeked at the man to whom he was talking and was
bewildered to find Gabriel talking to him.

I waited for Dylan to leave and then, rushed to Gabriel. “What were you doing
with him?”
“Um, he was just asking for directions but I told him that I'm new in town and he
offered me a job," he told me happily and hugged me. I still couldn't bring myself
to like his proximity or hug him back.
“You look concerned,” he said after pulling me away. “What is bothering you?”

Gabriel agreed without any hesitation. “I'm glad that you want me closer.”
“I'll get back to work now. It's my first day and I probably messed it up,” I
facepalmed myself.
Thanks to the Goddess, my manager was frank and didn’t ask me anything.
I didn’t know if escaping from Prescott was the right choice or not but I couldn't
stay with him any longer after finding the truth behind his fake facade.
I hated him for pretending to love me.
