The Alpha King’s Fated Scarred Mate

Chapter 15

Ann POV

Every day, I rushed towards the rooftop to scream, I felt sad.

He was banished! That hurt. I heard he would spend seven years in the pack.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

“Get your ass up here!” A voice yelled at me. I slowly whirled around to cross-check, a beautiful lassie.

“Yes ma’am,” I answered in a shaky tone, hurrying towards her.

“Follow me!” The voice said.

I hailed after her with a troubled countenance. Why would the court lady with a lilac linen ask me to follow her? I hope I haven’t gotten myself into trouble.

She stopped, and I halted. She turned to stare around, then gestured for me to hurry inside.

Gosh! I almost fell to my knees, I was startled when our contact got honed.

“Uhm uhm…”She reminisced.

She’s no other than Amy, the spoiled princess.

“Hana,” she called, casting her gaze on me.

The name she called, made me realize that there was another existence of beauty in the room. She was dressed in a royal purple flowing robe, with a silver crown sitting beautifully on her ponytail hair.

“Isn’t she beautiful?” “How about we use her in playing a game? ”

Game? I panicked.

They were going to use me for a game? I’m beautiful?

Somehow, I get scared. Their laughter defines the very reason I should be scared. I felt the urge to scamper but I just couldn’t defy their order.

I mean, they called for me, and I was just a slave.

“We set her as the trap for Elena…” she busted into peals of laughter. ” Hana, how about that?”

Hana lifted her gaze towards me, “she isn’t that bad. ”

” Tomorrow is my birthday, and I’m going to teach that bitch Elena her place. She’s from a useless pack anyway. Her father has no difference from being a pig, and her mother?” She gave a blood-curdling gesture to emphasize her last words.

“She was trying to be acquainted with me. Like she knew me somewhere. I hate it when people act silly to get close to me.” Hana gawped, tracing her lips on the teacup.

” I’ll just talk to Mum, to allow us to have this girl as one of our maids.”

I was pissed when she had to refer to my father as a pig but what could I do? And their talk about getting me as their maid makes me tense.

It was as if I was caught in a hollow box. What were these two pretty damsels up to? I hope their plans won’t terminate my life abruptly.

I couldn’t help but panicked when Elena sauntered in with delicate smiles spread across her face.

“Sister-in-law,” Elena stood vibrantly with a proud shoulder like a peacock. “You invited me to keep you accompanied?” She said blushing.

“Come girl, do you care for some tea?”

Moments of big silence. No one knew who Amy was talking to.

“Pardon…” Elena said in a slur but was welcomed with a deadly glare.

“I’m talking to you girl, now for making me lose my temper.”Amy grunted, throwing a flower at me.

I shrieked, afraid she was referring to me.

When I demurred a bit, she raised an eyebrow and I quickly nodded my head.

“Sit down there,” Hana ordered.

I froze, afraid to take a further step. Like the seat was too beautiful for me to sit my ass on.

“Sit down!” Amy yelled at me, and my lips quivered.

“If she sits on the chair, where do you expect me to sit? She’s just a freaking maid, she should knee.”

Elena vented.

It was obvious she wasn’t apprised I was the one in the room. When her gaze finally settled on me, I felt the knife cutting through my skin. I could feel the rage from her.

The heat of her anger licked through my skin.

“Kneel?” Amy raised an eyebrow.

“Are you in any way better than her?” I gasped at Amy’s words.

“The only difference between you two was that she was a slave, and poorly dressed but you’re,” Amy paused, taking her time to sip in the tea from the cup I’m her grasps.

“You’re a maid in a royal robe. I heard your mother do offer you to royal warlords. Is that true?” Elena broke down in tears and sucked on her fingers.

She cast me a belittling look. I wasn’t even the one that talked. I drifted my gaze away from her.

“Oh, Amy how can you say these to her? Her mother says she was a virgin but our brother says he met a big hole.”Hana’s voice broke through the existing silence.

” It’s okay. Not being a virgin doesn’t mean you’re dead or a fucking sinner. You shouldn’t cry that hard.”Hana feigned an innocent look.

“Take this cup of tea.” Amy motioned for Elena.

Elena brightened her mood instantly and stretched forth her hands to collect the teacup.

“And you take this.”She shoved a cup to me.

“Now both of you should click the teacup, and drink.” Amy urged us in an excited tone.

Now I was getting this. They were trying to use me to piss Elena up. I thought it was fun but unfortunately, they were sending me to my graveyard.

Elena would never forgive me.

“Who? Me?” Elena didn’t hesitate to show her discomfort. The irk on her face was eminent, her grasp clenched against the teacup.

“I should click the glass with you because I’m in the same caliber as you both, not her!” She fumed at her last words, her words exuding sorrow and grief.

“Oh Elena, what makes you think you’re of the same caliber as we?” Amy fanned herself. She angrily twitched her face.

“I’m royal, and I’m engaged to your brother. Shouldn’t these be enough?”

Hahaha. They cackled into peals of laughter.

“The best childish joke I’ve heard of recently.” “Elena, you’re such a fantastic jokester.”Amy jeered at her.

” We know you’re engaged to our brother.” Amy puffed, flaunting her hair. ” But are you happy? Is my brother treating you like the princess you are ?”she smirked.

Tension built in the air, as Elena shrieked nervously. She couldn’t raise her head, she further averted her gaze away from me.

“You should drink the tea while I’m still being…” Before Amy could pronounce her words, Elena already gulped the content.

And I hurried to drink mine with doubts running through my mind. Maybe I was hallucinating.

“Wrr…”Elena vomited, throwing the delicate teacup in her hands at me.

It flew through my forehead, and I felt a slight pain.

Elena scurried towards the door.

“I can’t believe she tasted it.” Amy has her face wrinkled in askance.

” Elena, how does it taste like?” Amy questioned in a sardonic tone. She ignored the disdain countenance from Elena.

Elena clenched her fingers around the end of her loose gown. Pathetic, was her current state of definition. It was clear she was trying to hide her rage but her body language sells her out.

“It tastes fine.” She blurted with a faint smile.

” What? Kitten milk tastes fine nowadays? The Cherie’s pack won’t cease to amaze me.”

They all growled in displease.

” You don’t mean she drank out of the kitten’s milk, do you?”Hana asked as if she was innocent and ignorant of what had been going on.

Elena frustrated already, sunk her teeth into her lower lips. I could sense her rage.

My stomach grumbled at that instant, then I was jolted out of the ongoing drama. Was the tea given to me also part of the kitten’s milk? I control the urge not to vomit. Like?

“I’m very certain this beautiful princess enjoys the tea. Didn’t you?” Amy turned to face me.

My voice hitched, and I nodded.

“Good,” Amy said with a wink.

“Elena see you tomorrow at Hana’s party…”

” You look pathetic tho. Thanks for sharing a tea with us.”

Elena ignored their taunting. She pushed the maid away and slammed the door in fury.

“Good job Amy! That girl shouldn’t stay happy in this palace. She should have been betrothed to Jace the murderer and not to my brother.”Hana couldn’t hide her disappointment.

“I bet she wouldn’t want to attend my birthday party tomorrow due to how pathetic and embarrassing she looks right now.”Hana added, slapping her loose hair behind her back.

Amy’s countenance grew graver, and sadder.

“Don’t use downgrading words on Jace. You know I love him, and I’m looking for a way to make mummy accept our marriage.”Amy said in a broken tone.

” Please…” Hana screeched.

What? She’s in love with her cousin? Were cousins allowed to marry each other in Alaska? I mean would Lady Jessica ever assent to that?

Jayden and Jace are rivals contesting for the position of the crown king. Lady Jessica would have to divide her support.

“You’re going to create chaos with those twerps imagination of yours. Are you trying to make Jace the King? Would you go against our brother? He’s a murderer, mother wouldn’t even hesitate to slap you when you bring it to her notice.”

” What should I do?” ” I’m going crazy here. I want no one but Jace. I regret ever having him as my cousin, he could have just been a distant cousin.” Amy cupped her face into her palms, sobbing.

“Kill the feelings!” Hana snarled.

Amy raised her brow at her, with tears streaming down her pinky cheeks. She sniffled.

“You think, I haven’t tried? You think it’s easy for me?” She broke down in tears again.

” Oh, I love you Amy and I would do anything for you. You know right?”Hana walks closer to her, with her hands draped over her shoulders.

“But you see, sacrifice.”Hana snapped.

“We have to let go of some feelings. These feelings won’t do you good.”

” I can’t.”Amy cried in a disturbing tone.

” You see if you can’t, Just know you’re turning your back on the family, and I wouldn’t hesitate to turn my back against you. ” ” I won’t permit you to support another person over Jayden. And thanks for ruining my night.”

Hana scoffed and stormed off.

They forgot I was in the room, they talked about their dirty secret. But I can’t in any way let the cat out of the bag.

She loves her brother’s rival!

If anyone had told me, I wouldn’t have believed that the almighty Amy could ever melt in this way. So what was this feeling? Was it more powerful than Amy? Was this the same feeling I had gotten when he told me to commit suicide?

I stood still until daybreak. Amy slept on the couch, she cried until she fell into a deep slumber.

When she wakes up, I already prepared hot water for her bath, and have meals prepared for her. But when her gaze gets honed with me?

She sent me out. “You aren’t fit to serve my food. Don’t be too flattered.” She bellowed and shut the door across my face.

“Jace!” My inner wolf whispered, and my heart thumped.

~~~“~~

I was at the courtyard along with some maids, engrossed in our daily activities.

The sudden kick of the door to the courtyard jolted our attention. Royal guards along with the Alpha King’s right-hand man walk into our gathering in silence and suspense.

“Behold the king’s decree!” He announced, and we fell to the ground on our knees with our heads touching the ground.

It’s mandatory for us to always respect the Alpha King through any of his objects.

Whether it was horse, cloth, or anything. We have to kneel and bow our heads down.

“This decree is about a particular maid in this quarter, whom the King would love to extend his benevolence to.” He paused.

” I Garry, the king subject bring to the notice of the maids in Alaska, the crescent moon pack.” he knelt.

“That whenever you see Ann Hendrick, you all should…”

” Stop!” A voice ordered from behind.

They just mentioned my name, I’m scared.
