Prescott âSeize her, right away,â Avery ordered, and seven wolves surrounded my mate. A thunderous growl erupted through my chest as | shot daggers at Avery who threw me an apologetic glance.
âHow dare you?â | snapped, rushing to Tilaâs side. âWhat the f uck do you think youâre doing?â My voice was menacingly low as |
looked her up and down, not believing that she was the little sister who saved Tila that day.
Avery For a moment, | thought that she might not t Lola or any other witch who might have taken Averyâs appearance but the rage surfaced once again when | saw a pang of hurt and guilt flash in her eyes.
âI'm sorry but | have to do this,â she replied with a bland smile, hiding her pain. âApprehend her, morons,â she barked at the wolves.
1 gripped Matildaâs wrist and pushed her behind me. Although | was blazing with anger and my wolf should have stirred by now and threatened to kill them, he didnât react.
âOver my f ucking dead body,â 1 growled, taking the position in defense mode. | wondered who dared support Avery when | was the Alpha King and they should have dreaded going against their King and Queen.
âCaleb, come to the backyard right now, | commanded and cut off the link before he could. respond.
âWe wish no harm to Matilda, Alpha Prescott,â Avery assured me with a timid smile.
âThen, why are you doing this, Avery?â | seethed in fury.
She closed her eyes and let out an exasperated sigh. âDo you think you can hear the truth?â Her eyes flashed gold and she tried to calm her chilling aura that had lowered the temperature.
âNo, Avery, please...â Matilda pleaded through her eyes and it irked me. They were having silent. conversations through their eyes and then, mind-link, completely ignoring me.
| rubbed my forehead and pinched my eyebrows to ease my tension but it did nothing to soothe. me as | felt the temperature rising and took a few steps backward as Matildaâs fiery aura swiveled around her.
The wolves also backed off, not able to withstand the powers of my mate. Averyâs icy chilling aura. and Matildaâs fiery aura clashed, making the rest of us flinch slightly.
âWhat are you trying to hide from me, Tila?â | asked, putting my hand on her shoulder.
âNothing,â she retorted back immediately.

â|, Alpha King, Prescott White, command you to speak the truth and tell me why you wanted to seize your sister?â | used my Alpha command and Avery's head lowered in submission. No matter how strong she was, she couldnât fight off the Alpla command.
âShe has planned to exchange her position and mate with Fiona,â Avery divulged, her head still glued to the floor.
âYou gotta be kidding me. | let out a low chuckle, almost not believing what she had just said. Why would my mate trade her position and me with Fiona, out of all people?
âAlpha,â Caleb bowed to me. | didnât need him to fight the wolves anymore | acknowledged his presence by nodding my head and he didnât utter anything further.
Avery frowned, sighing again. âBecause Fiona manipulated Matty to give up on everything and Dylan will stop the war so the innocent wolves won't die in the war,â she explained and | didnât miss the way Tilaâs heart sk ipped a bit.
â| couldn't be selfish, Iâm the Alpha Queen and | just took the oath to put my peopleâs interests before me. How could | let them suffer because of me? Dylan wants to take his revenge on me so | decided to offer myself to him and save my people,â Tila spoke, pursing her lips hard.
âYou didnât think about me for once, did you?â | asked her accusingly. âIs this the reason why you wanted to have a marking ceremony after dinner?â | sneered as the revelation dwelled upon me and added, âOf course, thatâs why you wouldn't let me mark you even when | tried to while dancing.â
âI'm sorry, Prescott. | didnât want to make it harder for you so | chose to keep it from you. Iâm clueless about how Avery figured it out,â she whispered, guilt floating in her lilac eyes which refused to let the tears slip.
â| heard Fiona chanting that Dylan is coming for you and then, | confronted her about your short visit to her and she told me about your little plan,â Avery grimaced, shaking her head. âHow could you trust her so easily? All of this might be nothing but a trap to get you.â
Matildaâs face drained off the colors. Her heart started galloping in her chest. She hadn't thought so far.
| was too hurt by her actions to comfort her. My heart was burning with the flames of rage. Did | not matter to her at all? Was giving up on me easier than fighting alongside me?
It hurt like a bi tch, knowing that she didnât choose me. Hadnât Avery caught her and lied to her about Owen's condition, she would have left me, leaving me with Fiona.
Did it not hurt her to see me with someone else? How could she let that bi tch replace her? It infuriated me to even imagine being in that situation where | would find Fiona in the place of my mate and Matilda would have gone to Dylan to let him take his revenge on her.

âFor what? Keeping things from me? Or for leaving me? Or for thinking that | would accept Fiona in your place?â | glowered at her, folding my arms in front of me.
