Chapter 24 Matilda

“Vincent was helping Liam but he earned my trust by informing me about the rogue attack beforehand and as soon as the war was over, he abducted my mate. He succeeds in harming your Queen by hook or crook. It was a win-win for him. Either by rogues or by the poison in private, he wanted to kill her,” Prescott explained his crime to all the Alphas.

The crowd was flabbergasted. No one had expected such plotting to kill me. Liam wasn’t the same Uncle anymore who would protect me at his life’s cost. He wanted to kill me and it did hurt me so much.

| couldn't withstand the brutality Alpha Prescott was showing to Vincent so | turned my face away. | hated that bastard but burning him alive was terrifying to me.

“They are your abusers, Tila. They deserve the most painful death,” Prescott held my hands, realizing my hesitation. The way he said that made me feel better. He was right. They had made my life a living hell and as if it wasn’t enough, he tried to rape me and kill me while his daughter tried to seduce my mate.

Even my wolf wanted to skin him alive and rip her hands from which she touched my mate.

“You're too kind and innocent, baby. They deserve worse than this. | want him to swallow the poison he used for you. | want to see him suffering. The pain he caused you, | want to see that pain in his fu*king eyes when he is dying,” he spat venomously.

He was forcing Vincent to commit suicide which was ethically wrong but what he did was also ethically wrong. And | was pretty sure that Alpha Prescott wasn’t the one who followed the rules.

“P...Please, show some mer...mercy,” Vincent begged in a broken voice.

| had never seen him begging anyone. It was pretty satisfying to watch him helpless. All the flashbacks from the past played in my mind and | agreed with my mate. He deserved worse than that.

“Do you even know what mercy means?” | looked him dead in the eye.

“I'm sorry. | apologize for everything. Please, Mati... Please, Queen, don’t kill me. | promise you that I'll be gone from your lives forever,” he whined, holding my feet.

Prescott crouched to his level and whispered, “I’m showing mercy though you don’t deserve it or | would have taken my revenge on your daughter by making her a who*e and let every wolf in my pack rape her.”

Vincent's eyes held fear as my mate threatened him. He shut his mouth whilst Isabel was still unconscious.

“Please, do whatever you want with me but please, leave my daughter alone,” Vincent beseeched. His eyes were brimming with tears that spilled down.

“Your fainily will be banished from the Lunar pack and they will be deprived of their titles. Isabel and Cole will spend the rest of their lives in prison and your Luna will be banished from your pack as well and will be declared rogue,” Prescott stated firmly, punishing him in the best way possible.

He was power-hungry. Nothing else mattered more to him than having his powers and now, he held no power anymore. “As long as my daughter is safe, everything else is fine with me,” he said sincerely.

“Then, what are you waiting for? Drink it or be ready to burn alive,” Prescott warned

him.

“Wait,” Gabriel screamed at the top of his lungs before rushing towards me.

He was also a bit wounded by Vincent. After all, that bastard was still an Alpha so he couldn't win against an Alpha.

“He betrayed me, he lied to me,” Gabriel accused Vincent, pointing his finger at him. “He was the one who manipulated me and | ended up in the cell.”

Vincent chuckled lightly. “Yes, | did and you were a fool to believe everything that | said was true.”

He added further, “Your father and you were the most loyal dogs of mine. | made you . turn against your fated mate and you fulfilled my desire to capture her family and

make them my slave.”

Vincent was the person who didn’t deserve the pity | had for him now. He was an evil spirit who would never be able to repent his crimes.

“Throw him in the fire,” | commanded furiously. | had endured everything but when it came to my family, | wouldn't tolerate it. “No. | want a trial,” Vincent still had the guts to speak.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“You can't. It’s not the usual council meeting. You dared to attack the Alpha Queen and all of us agree with whatever the Queen decides,” one of the Alphas whom my mate had invited spoke.

“She is right. Attempting to ra*e isn’t an ordinary, crime which blocks your right to have a trial,” another Alpha stated, throwing a disgusting look at him.

We were arguing over how to punish him while Prescott was encouraging Vincent to gulp down the poison which was a mere inch away from his grasp.

| saw him swallowing the poison and he screamed at the top of his lungs as it burned his throat and stomach.

| heard his screams and watched his body collapsing to the ground. | saw him dying and didn’t flinch. Isabel's pleas were ignored by everyone. The lightning struck in the sky and | felt a mind—link breaking because he was an Alpha.

| felt a powerful aura surging inside me which was very different and new. My powers have saved me but | needed to practice to control it or | might lose it.

| was wondering why Gabriel tried to fight for me and go against his Alpha. He had never fought for me before even when everyone in his pack bullied me and left some nasty scars on my body.

“For saving my wife, Gabriel is pardoned and released from the cell because he didn’t kill my mate as per Isabel’s demand,” Prescott cast a murderous glance at Isabel before adding, “Gabriel Cooper is expelled from all the packs because of abusing his fated mate and no one shall give him refuge or else that person will be punished as well.”

Gabriel looked at me with puppy eyes. His eyes grew blurry due to the tears and he immediately brushed them off. “I’m sorry,’ he mouthed but didn’t say anything further. He explained how Vincent convinced him that it was my father who killed his Dad.

My wolf mourned the bond we had. After all, he was my first fated mate and first love. | didn’t realize until now that | still felt something for him.

Gabriel was the victim of Vincent’s move, too. He used my mate to get back at my family. Vincent was a drug dealer and smuggled our medicines and herbs to humans.
