The Alpha King’s Fated Scarred Mate

Chapter 13: Evil farewell.



Jace/Lady Jessica

Jace POV

My eyes fluttered, the lids heavy, as my vision get blurry.

“What’s wrong?” I mumbled.

The sounds of heavy multitude of footsteps, caused me to rise, I was confounded at my sight.

“Master Jace,” the look on the caller of my name was not impressive, his expressions was filled with disappointment.

“What’s happening?” I squeezed my eyes shut, because they were heavy, and hurtful.

His voice jerked me out of impulse,”arrest the murderer!”

“What murderer?” My bloodshot eyes craned with the speaker, but he dodged, lowering his gaze.

I was pushed by the guards, I halted taking one last look at Jayden.

What was Jayden doing here? The last time I remembered, it was his personal guard who had come to me.

*”Master Jace, my master seek for your help, he fell into the royal pool. ” *

Those words replayed in my head. I was on my way to save Jayden, we passed through the corner at the South palace, and that was the last thing I recall.

How come I found myself lying helpless in the Eastern palace with blood soaked hand?

Just a few step away from the door, I find a lassie lying in her pool of blood, with an opened eyes. She was dressed in a royal Lilac linen.

A royal!

Why would a royal be killed?

***

“I swear, I never killed anyone!” I barked, unleasing my agitation.

Minister of defense stared hard into my eyes not breaking an eye contact with me. The doubts and I don’t believe you were visible on his face.

“I know you didn’t, but,” He paused, licking his bottom lips. ” You were find at the murder scene, blood on your hands, and chest. You stab her to death simply because you didn’t want the supreme Alpha to mate you with her.”

” Would you just shut up?” I yelled.

” No, I won’t. Not until you know the graver of your sins, you just killed an Alpha’s only daughter, how can we shut it up?”

Eventhough I was cold in nature, I swore that my body temperature did change at that moment because, how could I have killed someone?

“When?” That was the word that escaped out of my mouth.

*****

Three days after.

I was standing in the courtroom with the supreme king present, the supreme Luna, and the council of elders.

I narrowed my gaze to my feet as I couldn’t bear looking at the Alpha. I felt heartbroken at his stare. It was as if I dashed his hope against a rock.

“The Redmond pack members took to the street in a hot protest, they demand that justice being served.” Arnold, minister of information said.

” Alpha Kingsley…” the supreme paused.

A man who was chubby, fitted, and in his late forties rise from his sitting position, giving a cutsied bow.

“What sentence would you like to give? I know the joy of having a child, but the pains?” Supreme Alpha stared with remorse in his eyes.

” I’m sorry for the loss of your dear child.” His voice echoed out of the room.

“Hmmp… your majesty.” Alpha Kingsley cleared his throat.

Moments of silence.

The silence bridged up tensions in the hall as suspense filled the air. They all awaited his judgement. He was also ruthless, and wouldn’t tolerate any shit from anyone but in this scenario, it was the Alpha King cousin who had killed his daughter. Would he sentence for Jace to be killed or not?NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

“It is with a weak, and grief heart that I attest to my daughter’s death. She was a dove, charming and beautiful. But now, she’s no more and the deed all in the past.”

” Therefore my judgement…” alpha Kingsley nipped around with his gaze.

His gaze fell on me, my mother whose face was graver. He darted his gaze towards the supreme Luna who was comfortably sitted on the throne with her head held high.

“I’ll pen my judgement.” ” If his majesty would grant me his permission.” The supreme nodded, giving him his consent.

The tensions and suspense futher grew nonstop. They were imagining the kind of punishment which will be unleash to me.

Suddenly, the moment they all awaited for arrived, as Alpha Kingsley handed over his verdict to the eunuch. A heavy breath escalated from his lips.

The Alpha King drew in his breath as he read through the judgement. He stared hard at Alpha Kingsley, but Alpha Kingsley rolled his gaze away.

“Read it loud the council. A word cannot be big enough that a knife would be needed to slice through it.”

” This is the judgment which was documented by Alpha Kingsley of the moon valley over the loss of his daughter.”

“I hereby sentence you Jace Akeem by the verdict granted to me by his majesty that you’re banned from Alaska for the period of seven years to work as a slave in my pack.” The enunch read out the judgements.

Audible murmuring filled the hall. My mother dropped to the floor on her knees. A deep frown settled on the face of the Luna, she nipped to her right, and her gaze get honed with lady Jessica who quickly lowered her gaze.

Some commends Alpha Kingsley for having a golden heart. On the contrary, other criticizes him as weak, and a puppet who was afraid that the king would someday retaliate back at him for ever dare to sentence his nephew to death.

All these were thought as none of them could ever voiced out.

Lady Jessica chamber.

Lady Jessica POV

“That man is silly!” I grunted, my hands clenched to my dress.

” I jokingly told him not to pardon Jace. I told him to sentenced him to death by beheading, and now?” I squeezed my face.

” Sister, we should lay low for now. Later on we sent assassins after him. He won’t be able to survive anyway since he doesn’t have any knowledge concerning swordery, and martial art.” Harlow said.

Harlow is my cousin. He is a good adviser. He’s tactical, and strategical in politics.

“How we would be able to track him down?” I questioned with contempt in my eyes.

” Be easy assured sister. Jayden is my nephew and I’m going to help access the throne.”

“Spy would be sent to the Moon Valley, at least we lay low for two years before we strike him to death. His death would be blamed on Alpha Kingsley, his pack would be attacked if that should happen. And this would be to our advantage, we taking out Jace our enemy, and also striking at Kingsley who had refused to work in our favor. ” I listened to Harlow as he speak.

Our gaze gets craned, he stopped to look at me. I smiled at him, and he continued.

“Two years is too far, I need him dead before this year ran out.” I blunt out my thoughts.

Harlow only scoffed at my words. He stood with his gaze running over my body.

“Allow me to think.” He growled.

“What should I do right now? I mean you’re thinking.” I asked, while I lifted my gaze to him.

” You should head out, empathize with Jace, and his mom. Show to them that you’re more than hurt than them. Somehow gives him this necklace.”

Necklace?

” What if they refuse to take the necklace from me?”

” You know Jace respect you a lot. He would take the necklace from you. Tell him it’s a protection necklace which had been prayed on by the priestess.”

” As long as he wear this necklace around his neck. He would die in the next six months.” Harlow slided the necklace aross the table.

“How will he die from a mere necklace? Are you kidding me? Is this necklace laced with poison?” I ran my gaze at the necklace suspiciously.

Silence.

“Don’t you trust me sister? You said you would make me become the Regent if Jayden becomes the Alpha King. Why would I bring up a crooked plans then?”

” Then explain to me in full. How would him wearing this necklace get him killed in the next 6 month.”

” Once he Puts on this necklace, he would be at the prison. I have a copy of this necklace which would be given to the assassin. Once they saw any man with this necklace, they would attack, and killed him.”

” What about Kingsley? He wouldn’t be affected by this. If Jace is to be killed by assassins, Kingsley will go unscathed.”

” No, you’re wrong.” ” The whole Alaska would be convinced that Kingsley was the one who had killed Jace in revenge for her daughter.”

I paused for a while, cogitating.

” Alright,” I picked the necklace.

“This is pure gold. Are we really supposed to give this to Jace? He doesn’t even worth a silver.” I asked with lust glowing in my eyes.

My loves for gold are second to none.

“You should go, I heard Jace will depart in the next hours.” Harlow hurried me.

I walked towards the door, and head out to the courtyard.

The Entourage were ready. Alissa, Jace’s mother sprawled on the floor, weeping.

“Jace, no.”

“Jace is not a murderer. He’s my son. He’s innocent.” I watched her lamenting, and I feel pleasure I’m her pain.

I loved it when she is sad. She was the cause of this. How could she and her husband have conceived, while I conceived? I sent them an anonymous letter to abort the baby but they refused, claiming hard-headed.

I gave birth to my baby boy, hoping they would give birth to a girl, or perhaps she suffered a stillbirths because I gave the midwife a potion to feed her while she was in labour.

Alissa survived while giving birth, and the stupid Jace never die. Now, they dare to drag the position of the crown prince with my son? I would killed anyone who dare to lust after my son’s inheritance.

“Oh, Alissa. Please stand on your feet.” I grabbed her shoulders, ensuring our face makes some contact.

“Jessica…”She called in a slur.

I nipped to her, my hands wiping the tears off her face. “Save Jace. Jace is innocent.” She cried out.

I busted into an uncontrollable tears. “Of course I knew he’s innocent. I wish I can help him, but his supreme already decided. Let just wait for his return. I’ve spoken to Alpha Kingsley to treat him better, and not mistreat him.” I said, sucking in my tears.

Her eyes widened. ” Thank you Jessica.” She grabbed my hands, and pressed on them softly.

“Jace,” I called, as I walked over to his side.

Tears poured uncontrollably from my eyes. ” I know you’re innocent, and the moon goddess would surely save you from this convoluted situations.”

” Take,”i pressed the necklace Into his palm.

“It’s a protection necklace from the priestess. It will protect you from all evil. ” He took it from me.

I smiled inwardly at his foolishness.

” My lady, my Lady.” A voice cried behind me. I turned.

It was the maid.

” My lady, young master…” She panted heavily, pointing towards the south wing which leads to Alpha King chamber.

I raised my eyes in askance, already getting tensed by her half words.

“Speak!”

“Young master Jayden is going to fight with his supreme over young master Jace. Please come.”

“What?” I screamed.
