Escaping my arranged marriage with Alpha Prescott by J Belladonna

Chapter 82

Prescott

“Yet, as everything comes at a cost, we must relinquish something to attain what
we seek,” Owen's twisted words drew all the gaze at him.

Matilda's breath caught in her throat, her heart pounding a furious rhythm against
her chest. In the dimly lit hospital room, the atmosphere crackled with an electric
tension, thick enough to slice through with a knife. Each heartbeat echoed like a
drum in my ears, but it was overshadowed by the palpable sense of anticipation
and fear that gripped everyone.

I hated how he left without any notice last time and now that he was back,
instead of solving the problem and helping us out, he was playing his f ucking
game of the puzzles. Everything about him was so twisted that it grated on my
nerves how he didn't talk clearly.

“And what is the cost?” My mate and I asked simultaneously.

“Well, for that, the little Princess needs to take her responsibility as the chaplain
sooner than she had expected,” Owen divulged softly, his eyes locked with
Avery's who seemed pale as the words sank into her mind.

Before anyone from us could respond, Avery declared, “I'm ready as long as it
keeps my family safe from all the trouble.” Her voice was firm and profound, she
was pretending to be strong, not that she wasn't strong but she shouldn't be.....
At the

age

of sixteen, a girl shouldn't be worried about her family’s safety. Her shoulders
shouldn't have the burden of the responsibilities. Avery deserved to live a normal
teenage girl's life.

“Not under my watch,” My mate snarled. “I'm alive and as long as I'm here, my
little sister won't have to sacrifice anything.” Her gaze was directed at Owen who
pursed his lips hard, nodding his head slightly.

“I'm bound to become the chaplain, Sis. It doesn’t matter if I start my duty two
years earlier or later,” Avery countered with a poker face, masking her emotions
well.

Something that both sisters had in common, they would be facing brutal pain
from the inside but their faces wouldn't let it show, You would never be able to tell
that they had suffered a lot and were in pain. Both of them had the Alpha
qualities and I was stunned to see Avery having a similar aura and powers to her
sister. Since she was the younger sister, I didn’t expect her to be an Alpha like
the

firstborn.

“It's not going to be that easy, little Princess. You will have to pass the test of the
Goddess to be accepted as the chaplain and before that, you will need to train
hard,” Owen stated with a grim. expression on his face.

“Lucky for you, I didn’t expect it to be easy,” Avery scoffed, rolling her eyes. “I'm
tougher than I seem, Owen.”

“No. I won't let it happen at any cost. You will not sacrifice yourself for me. I have
lived long enough, honey. I would rather die than see you suffering. You aren't
born to become a f ucking chaplain,” Camilla screamed out in frustration. “No
offense to you, Owen, but I will not let my daughter walk down that path.”

“None taken.” Owen raised his hands in surrender.

is wrong in becoming a chaplain? I can see Owen not getting old, having
wonderful powers, and the freedom to live anywhere,” Avery argued with her
mother.

“A chaplain can't live happily with his mate. All the chaplains’ mates died the most
painful and worst deaths in history and f uck that, there hadn't been any female
chaplains in history and I won't let you change that. You will turn eighteen and
find your mate and live happily with him,” Camilla said firmly.

Her words sounded a bit harsher than she had intended to though she was
stating facts but it was painful for Owen. Despite the effort to conceal the hurt,
the facade crumbled, revealing the vulnerability hidden beneath the surface. And
though the pain may be masked for now, the scars of the heart remained, etched
into the weary countenance of one who bore the weight of unspoken

words.

Matilda noticed Owen's pain and nudged her Mom. “Please, Mom...”

“I apologize for the pain I have caused you, Owen. I meant no harm or
disrespect. You know that I respect you from the bottom of my heart but how can
I let my daughter walk down the path which is filled with thorns and she will only
suffer pain?” Camilla’s voice shook as she spoke, her hands quivering by her
side.

“I do understand your concern as a mother, Camilla,” Owen said, offering a small
gentle smile. “However, it's not within our authority to determine someone's
destiny. The Goddess holds that power over every wolf's fate. We are merely
bystanders, not ones to challenge her choices or question her decisions.”

He heaved a sigh and added, “What I wish to impart to you is the profound power
of time. Time is the ultimate force in the universe, wielding the power of both
destruction and creation. Its constancy lies in its ever-changing nature. We must
simply strive to meet the demands of each moment with sincerity and without
selfish desires.”

His voice cracked as he put a hand on his heart and tried to speak something but
couldn't utter a single word. My father and I rushed to his side, giving him support
to stand still.

“What's wrong, Owen?” Dad asked with trepidation. His heart was pounding in
his chest frantically as he held his friend's arm and stroked his shoulder.

“My time has come, Mason. I have come to inform you that I have channeled all
my powers to th

Blood Moon packs territories so any witch's powers wouldn't be able to break
into the pack or territory,” he uttered with difficulty as the pain in his chest grew
more acute, I could tell from his wincing and the frown on his face deepening.

“You poured all your powers just to make sure that we stay safe...?” Avery asked
perplexed. Owen simply nodded his head with a smile in response.

“But why is it affecting you so much? Shouldn't you be able to save yourself,
too?” My mate questioned, her voice laced with worry as she swallowed hard.
“Everyone has limited powers, my Queen. Even your healing powers are limited
to some extent and that's why you need to use them only when you must. You
have to win this war. For our kinds. You will establish peace between two
supernatural species and rule the wolves.” he said, his soothing yet powerful
aura rolling off him.

His face paled and his eyes fluttered. trying hard not to shut. I hated him all my
life but it brought tears to my eyes, holding his feeble body in my hands and
seeing him struggling to breathe.

“You didn’t hate me. Alpha Prescott. You just didn’t want to admit that love can
heal and outgrow the darkness that sometimes threatens to consume us whole,”
he said in a low voice, looking at me with his half-closed eyes.

“There must be a way to save you. You can't die like that I snapped, my voice
echoing in the room as my Alpha aura flared around me in waves.

“I already sacrificed myself but my soul is bound to my duty so I can't die until
another chaplain. takes my place.” he answered weakly

“But you need to gather all the packs and shift to the Blood Moon pack as soon
as possible. You will need to hold the crown ceremony and mark and mate with
the Queen before the Red Moon Fortunately, there will be two nights of the full
moon. The first precedes the Red Moon, and the second coincides with it. Such
occurrences are exceedingly rare, happening only once a century,” Owen
explained before any of us could respond.

Once again he proved how selfless he was.

“How can I let my daughter take your place: Owen, after seeing you dying like
this?” Camilla broke into a s ob while her daughters held her closely and
comforted their mother.

“I'm not dead yet, Camilla. I just need some time to rejuvenate my body. This
mighty Alpha King can't win the war without me by his side, now can he?” Owen
smirked at me. challenging me.

“F uck off,” I scowled at him. “Take care of this asshole. I'm leaving to hold the
meeting of all the Alphas. I have better things to do.” I said. pushing all of his
weight on my father's side before storming off.

It was hard to watch him in such a fragile state and it was harder to admit that it
affected me. I couldn't let him show that I cared. Moon Goddess, you're not
playing fair.

“You're not alone. I'm with you! I will be joining you in a few minutes. Tila’s voice
rang in my mind and I sighed in relief. I wanted her by my side, with me. I wanted
to hold her. touch her, bury my face in her neck to smell her soothing lavender
scent, and kiss those pouty lips to taste the heaven in my mouth.
