The Alpha King’s Fated Scarred Mate

Chapter 39: the task



Ann’s POV

The eyes on my right hand side was blurry, I teleported to hell the moment lady Jessica’s fingers had dipped inside my eyes and back to earth, with agony in my heart.

I could hear their distant voices which sounded more like an argument.

My hands were tied behind me; this hindered me from suppressing the blood which was falling from my eyes.

Blood were dripping fastly from my eyes, and then I found myself slipping into darkness.

Jace’s POV

After hearing from the maids how Lady Jessica had treated the maid, inexplicable feelings gathered at the base of my tummy.

I waved my hands in the air, dismissing the servant. From the corner of my eyes, the servants strode towards the door, then a slamming shut.

I rose from my sitting position, scurrying straight into my inner chamber. My hands rubbed softly at a particular spot on the wall, and the wall splitted, revealing an inner beauty of an underground.

I strolled towards underground, descending through stairs. I stopped at a particular side to pick a dagger. I moved away further to the end of the larger room, stopping at a small hole.

I squeezed myself inside the hole, landing inside a forest.

My eyes darted around the square land size of the forest warily.

My dagger scrubbed against the shrub of the trees, as I take the bark, throwing them in my bag.

After getting many shrubs and herbs, I headed back to my underground hideout.

***

She was lying prettily on a bed in the underground, her eyes under the cover of a white blindfold which I had used to bind medicine to it.

I heard she lost a lot of blood, mistaken for a cadaver and was thrown out at the mountain side for the pigs to feed on.

Struggled to gathered information and also to sneak her inside my room.

Days after days, I’m always at her side, boiling teas, and herbs so Mia could feed to her.

“Is she your first love?” Mia asked, her eyes turning to my side.

My mouth pursed in a silent then parted, “just do your work.”

Her eyes moved under her eyesbrow suspiciously, then she returned to her task.

She was taking off the dresses off the maid’s body, her eyes darted to mine, my eyes remaining unflinched.

“Aren’t you going to take your gaze away? You shouldn’t be peeping at her nakedness.”

“I already saw it, and even if she was conscious, she dares not ask me to take my gaze off her.” I barred through my gritted teeth.

“You love her then. Unlike me, you still harbored my sins, father’s sin against me. You seemed irk at my sight!” Mia murmured under her breath.

She was quiet for the whole time we took the maid to the bathtub. I stood still behind her.

She raised her brow, “you’re not standing here to_”

“Scrub!” I snapped at her, and she shuddered.

“Gently!” I yelled at her with a domineering tone.

She reluctantly scrubbed the maid’s skin softly, her face pulling into a frown.

After getting the maid dressed, she opted for the door, and shrieked when my hands engulfed her tiny wrist, pushing her against the wall.

I stared menacingly at her. She has those worries walking freely in her eyes.

“Wha-what did i_”

She stuttered and I Interrupted her.

“I dare you to leak this hideout to anyone or any of the happening here to the outsider and watched me slice your breast for the berserked wolves!”

She shook under my grasp. Her soft hands pushing roughly against my rigid chest.

“Get off me!” She said to my face. “You have no right to treat me like an object! I was your betrothal, and she’s just a maid! And, I’m not a parrot!” Her eyes flashed as she spoke.

“You better keep to your words then, or know the number of your days on earth.”

“The goddess forbid I died in your miserable hands Jace!”

I moved away from her, and he hauled out of the hidden room.

I spread a cover across her body and also headed to my room.

I changed into another apparels, heading out of the room when I bumped into the royal enunch.

“Greetings young master Jayden, his supremacy summoned your attention in the palace.”

My heart skipped.

Why would my uncle summoned me to the palace, when I haven’t proved my purity?

“I haven’t been well purified.” I tried to create an excuse.

“Yes, master Jayden. That has always been your excuse eversince your arrival from Redmond pack, but today, his supremacy summoned you!” He shoved the authority stamp of my uncle to the air.

My stomach rubbled for a while, and I followed quietly after the royal enunch.

Arriving at the Royal Court, I saw Jayden coming out of the Court, followed by some other Noble’s sons.

What was the purpose of this?

Jayden tightened his brow at my sight as if I offended him. He must still be mad at me for denying him the luxurious of having sex with the maid.

The guards announced my entry, the door parting open while I sauntered in.

I went on my knees, paying my respect.

“Greetings your_”

“Hold the greetings Jace!” My uncle’s hoarse and domineering voice resounded in my ears.

“The prophecy from three hundred years ago is going to manifest soon!”

I scrunched my brow at my uncle’s words. There are many prophecies in which I’ve lose count of.

“Using of magic is forbidden in this kingdom! The dragon had lay its first egg, if the news should get to the Philistines, And Aon,” he paused, fire emanating from his eyes.

“There would be world crisis. If any of our enemies get hold of the dragon’s egg before us, we would be ruined as the enemy will have a upper hand, and wiped us all from the surface of the earth!”

“I charged you to take the decree from the enuch and followed the instructions in there.”

“Leave!” His voice was stern.

He was indifferent to me today. I was somehow heartbroken at my uncle’s attitude towards me.

Hasn’t the truth be revealed, that I wasn’t a murderer?

With my tightened knuckles, I grasped the letters and headed out of the royal Court, stopping at the presence of the supreme Luna.

As usual, she casted me a belittling look, hissed, and stomped past me in furious.

I heard her say,”murderer!”
