The Alpha King’s Fated Scarred Mate

Lady Jessica/ Jace

Lady Jessica POV

“What the hell?” I mumbled under my breath, as I hurried towards the southern gate.

“Where do you think you’re going sister?” A voice jolted me from my state of panick.

She stopped to rolled her gaze on him. “Harlow,” i whispered.

“Go get Jayden ass back here.”

” Why?” He asked.

” Why? Are rebelling against me while I’m still alive?” I questioned, surprise at his answer.

Silence.

“Jayden is in your room doing merriment. Why would he stormed to the Alpha King chambers to question his authority?” Harlow mimicked.

“Did you send the maid to call for me?” I inquired, nipping behind to check if anyone was around.

” Yes,” He winked. ” You’re missing out from the merriment party, you’re wasting your time sympathizing with that harlot who dare to compete with you.”

” Her current conditions served her right.” He gestured for me, and I walked while he hailed after me.

We got inside my chambers. The room was already decorated, and some of the ministers who were at our side were sitted.

They stood upon seeing me sauntering inside the room, their head bowed vin respect to me.

“Good day your majesty, congratulations on your achievement.” They curtsied.

I nodded, waving them to have their seat.

“Hmm…” i cleared my throat, sliding the cup of tea from the tray, as I bring it closer to my mouth.

“Now that he’s been banished from the kingdom temporarily, don’t you all think that we should take some step forward to announce Jayden as the future king?” Harlow break through the silence that surrounded the room.

From the corner of my eyes, I observed their body reactions. Some were scared, while some smile happily.

“But the king haven’t brought up the idea…”

” But that is the work of the ministers, the members of the parliament.”Harlow interrupted him.

” That will sound absurd, and suspicious if we raised the issues now that Jace was banished from the kingdom. You know how the Alpha cherished Jace.” Minister of finance, Arnold said.

” And you know what will happen when your daughter become Jayden’s consort. Or you want the title given to the other lady from the other kingdom?” Harlow blurted.

They kept mute.

” We can lay low for some time.”

“Long how long? What if his supreme changed his mind and crowned Jace as the Alpha?” He asked.

” For some moon.”

” He will return.”Harlow replied.

” And even if he returned, he isn’t skilled in swordery, and you know the next heir must be skilled in sword, and martial arts. He would lose to Jayden when we bring up the idea of sword fighting.” The defense minister said.

” Yes, that is one advantage to us. But don’t you see from the last draw, if Jace hadn’t killed the princess, do you think Jayden would have still stood a chance to win? The king wanted to choose a heir thtough a murder case against the supreme Luna, Jace won.”

” Jayden’s aunt is the supreme Luna. She will surely support him to win.”

” Since you all know that the Luna is on our side, then you have to restrengthened your support for me and my son. You all will benefit from this when Jayden finally ascend the throne. Jace will be eliminated in the next three moon. I promised you that.”

They were all stunned at my words.

” Cheers!” I lifted the cup of wine for a toast.

Ten ministers on my side, Yet I’m not motivated.

“Hmmp!”

Jace POV

” Mom, do not cry for me.” I reached out my hand to her.

She grabbed it with her soft palm tightly, exerting a light pressure.

“Jace,” she wept.

“You must have been so disappointed at me for being a weak mother. I couldn’t shield you. What sort of mother am I?”

” Don’t blame yourself mother. I’m here for you. You’re the most strongest woman I have ever know, you are in my heart, and would always be.”,

” You’re innocent Jace. I Know the type of son I have.”

I paused with guilt eating through my heart. I couldn’t bear looking at my mother anymore. Her present predicament weaken my heart.

“Mother.” I called retracting my hands from her grip.

She looked up to behold me.

“Good bye. I’ll be back stronger, and worthy.” “Take care while I’m away.”

I moved away from her. She wanted to grab my legs. I dodged.

” Jace don’t do this to me.” She cried.

I gestured for the guard to take care of my mum.

” Who will look after me while I’m gone?” She questioned.

I walked closer to her with tears streaming down my cheeks. I whispered some words in her ears.

She startled with worries, and fears written on her face.

“Please mother protect her.” “Ensure she’s alive before my return.”

I hurried out of her presence before she would ask me more questions.

“Never forget your root Jace, never forget you’re the son of a lion, you must strive to survive. I’ll wait stronger for you.” My mother raised her voice.

” What about her? My request.”

“I’ll think about that if she’s worthy to be protected.”

I nodded, and was ushered inside the chariot.

****

We arrived at night at Moon Valley Pack.

I was pushed out from the chariot aggressively.

“Get down prince murderer.” They scorned at me.

I ignored their scorn, and walked slowly a few step away from where I was standing earlier.

Alpha Kingsley chariot halted right away from the chariot which had conveyed me earlier on.

He got down from the chariot, his eyes blazing fire and danger. I didn’t avert my gaze, as I stared hard into his eyes.

“You’re no longer the respectable prince you were. If you stare at me one more time in such way, I’ll have your eyes plucked out.” He said to me.

I didn’t permit his warning to shake me as I failed to avert my gaze.

He got a little closer to me, and punched me in my face.

“I’ll have the least of my guards bear you up. You’re weak anyway. You don’t have any knowledge in sword and martial arts.” He says with sarcasm eminent in his voice.

“Kneel and greet me.” Alpha Kingsley cooed.

My eyes widened at his request. He was asking me to do the undoable. It has never be recorded in history that a member of the Alaska royal family has knee for anyone. We were superior, and would never bow to anyone. I’ll uphold this legacy even if I should die.

” Beat him up.” He ordered one of his guard to beat me up.

He was right. I’m weak. I was denied the right to learn sword and martial art by my uncle. He threatened my mother, and my mother had to begged the Alpha King and lied that I have a weak heart.

So I was exempted from learning swords, and martial art.

I was beaten untill I was down on one knee. They laughed at me. I tried to stand but just a quick kick, and my other knee get glued to the ground.

“Thought you were unyielding?” Alpha Kingsley smirked.

“Make him to prostrate before me.” He ordered.

And just some tricks and twists, I was down with my face kissing the ground.

Their here get into my head.

“Take him to the dungeon, tomorrow he will be taken to the mine iron mine.”

He said, and I heard father.

” Father.” A tiny voice sounded from the other end.

I turned to see a girl dressed in a filthy maid dress. The porcelain of her skin top-notch. Her beauty radiated brightly.

Alpha Kingsley flinched. “Mirabel!”

“How did…” he stopped halfway to cast me a glare.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

I also glared at him.

“Take him out if my sight.” He warned as he stormed off.

The girl hurried after him, saying father. She wanted to hug him but he dodged her hug.

Father?

I thought ALPHA Kingsley only have one daughter, and she was dead already.

Who then is this girl saying father? They have similar look. Same pointed nose.

But that princess whose face I saw?

Confounded I was.

I was thrown to the dungeon. The chain around my neck shimmered causing a flash of light in the dungeon.

Jayden mother had given this necklace to me saying it will protect me from danger. Jayden stormed to the Alpha King chambers to fight for me?

He shouldn’t have. I pray he’s okay.

***

The next day.

Light sauntered in as the dungeon door was rolled open.

“Get out.” They said as they pushed me off.

They spat on my face. Saying this is exactly how the Alaska had been treating them from other pack like a beggar.

They says it to my face that they wouldn’t demur to treat me the same way Alaska have be mistreating them. Overall it, I killed their princess.

They were happy, Alpha kinsgley got justice.

“No one should be above the law. Yes, this is how it should be. The mighty prince from the kingdom of Alaska, cousin to king Akeem is here to dig the mine with us..”

Hahaha. The busted into peal of laughter.

They threw the hammer at me to catch, but unfortunately I fell to the ground with the hammer hitting against my chest.

My eyes shut.

“Arrg! Is he dead?” I opened my eyes to see me being surrounded by them. Their eyes scrutinizing me.

“I thought he was mighty, yet couldn’t even catch a hammer?” One of the prisoners teased.

” Get up, and work!” They kicked my ass mercilessly.

Breaking through the hard stone was energy consuming. My back ache, and my chest. I swear I’ve never lift a knife, now I’m lifting a heavy hammer.

The trumpet was blown. It was time to eat.

We sat, my food was served. There was cockroach and termite in my soup. I stood to complain but someone set his foot for me.

I tumbled with the food in my hands.

“Oh, you should have watch out.”

“You caused this!” I yelled to his face.

His countenance changed, he faced the rest of the prisoners siting besides him. “Did you hear what he say?”

“No…” they shrugged their head.

“What did you just say shit?” He asked.

“I said you caused this, now lift me .” I ordered.

“Oh, he wants me to lift him.” He teased, and stood.

I was thinking he was coming to light me but he straddled on me, taking my jaw in his palm, he cupped it, began to slap me.

“You’re rude. Do you think you’re still the prince?” He asked.

And he yanked the necklace off my neck. I sprang to struggle for the necklace but I was surrounded, and bully.

Different punches, and kick landed against my body until I felt numbed with no strength to stand on my feet. I slumped but they never stopped.

“Hey stop!” A voice said.

“He’s the Alpha favorite we can only beat but not kill him.”

***

I was back to the mining site. I couldn’t lift the hammer anymore, a flash landed on my back.

“Work slave!” The guard said.

“Hey you watch your filthy mouth!” I bellowed.

” Did you just speak back at me slave?” He inquired as he took the sword and hit me with the edge.

I tasted blood. It was salty, my blood.

“Next time you talk back at me , I’ll have your teeth broken.” He caveated and left.

Not long after, a man screamed running towards the group of men who had attack me earlier on.

“Great news Boma.” He said panting.

“What great news?” They asked.

He turned around before leaning closer to whisper.

“What? The princess is alive?” They screamed.

The man who had ran here a few minutes ago jumped to cover their mouth.

“Ssh…” he warned.

” I heard it from the maids.” ” I pray it’s true.”
