Chapter 93At the king's court."Never will a slave be our Queen." The lord of domestic affairs yelled in a docile tone, eyes straining, and veins popping out of his body.The air was tense and enveloped with a thick silence. Anger was simmering and filling the air.There was tension in the court. Confusion and argument.Almost all the lords and Elites had turned against Jace, and the idea of him getting mated to a mere slave infuriated them. The mere thought caused their fang to elongate and their claw to emanate.Distaste and irritation were etched on their face. Neither a slave nor a son of a dancer will become their ruler in Australia. That will never happen, not when they're alive or when they're dead.The Alpha King tho was seated on the throne, watching his subjects burning with fury, arguing among themselves, cursing and gritting their teeth.On a normal day, his beast would have surfaced and snarled aggressively at them to keep their mouth shut.But, this month, he seemed to
Chapter 92Ann povThanks to the star he finally listened to me after hours of trying to persuade him to let go that I'm okay. "I'll heal in time. Im not sure longer a weak wolf, anymore. I've inherited some of my grandma's wolf trait."I said to him cause he seemed to be worried about me and his eyes were still red, anger was still radiating from his body.Gosh! When did he become so obsessed with me? "Alright.""Jace?" I called in a low voice and his eyes craned mine, emotion lurking within. "You have to promise me something." "Anything you want I would get it for you. Just name it.""It isn't something physical but a wish," I said and a thick silence covered the air."You aren't saying anything," I tugged at his huge arms with my thin fingers." I refused to say something because my instincts say you want me to forgive Mia."Gosh! Jace is a wizard. How was he able to know what was on my mind? "Because I can read minds and thoughts," he answered me.I squeezed my face, though I
Chapter 91Jace povMy body convulsed so badly. I felt someone calling out to me. But my body was so weak,I found myself in a deep pit, badly bound and someone was up there calling my name. Wishing for my hell but there was nothing I could do at the moment to save him or her.A blind man saving a paralysed man sounds funny.But it was like there's a turbulence inside of me which whirling, and was going to consume me the minutes I don't buckle up and come up.It just needs me to come up. I just needed something to trigger me, something to push me ip and I will be outside of this pit."What are you?" I asked and there persisted in the air a deafening silence but the female voice echoed in my ear again."Your mate, Anna. I want you to mark me."I was thirsty yet there was no water around to quench my thirst.While I was lost in thought, I finally got hold of that sound. That trickling sound of a dropping water.A drop to my head, and I felt a shrill cold at my spine, my body jerked and
Chapter 90Jayden povShe must be out of her mind. If she ever thinks I would stoop so low as to pick this manure.Maybe I should reveal myself to her but then my identity would be revealed, and people may find it suspicious.Grumbling, I walked into the pen and the door was locked right after me.What the fuck?This whole place suck! The stench was incomparable.I ran towards the door and met her padlocking the handle."You can only come out of here when you're done with your job. I'll be back in the evening to check on you."What? Evening?"I didn't utter any words cause I knew uttering one word might implicate me so I kept my mouth shut but grunted inwardly."What do you think you're doing? Go on and start the cleaning up!" I ran trying to imitate how slaves run when I ordered them around.It was so fun.I didn't know the sole of my boot were slippery so I fell with my butt sitting pretty on the pig waste.I screamed at the filthy sight.My hands were also mashed up with pig waste
Chapter 89Jayden pov"My mother was chased out of the palace and it was all because of me. She was embarrassed. I have finally soiled the armadillo family name in the mud.I doubt if the Armadillo family would ever want to support me anymore. Now everyone avoids me. No one wants to associate with me, they all thought I was affected by the curse also.I only have until the day that the Alpha king names me the crown Prince then Jace and his mother would be the first I'll eliminate before any other person.I watched from afar as my mother was put in the chariot and driven away to our family house.I shifted and ran into the woods to clear my head, I swear with my father's grave if I ever lay my eyes or hands on Bali that will be his last day on earth.I stayed on the cliff, looking at the waterfall that was running down.I wept profusely like a baby and thought of ways I could help my mother regain her health.I didn't even realize that someone was behind me. When I saw her, a deep f
ChapterAnn povShe crossed her arms, and snarled at me. “So are you gonna fight me if it was him who had done this?” She pointed to the hickey, turning her neck to give me a proper view.Grief overwhelmed me at that and I wanted to cry.“I was engaged to him even before your existence became known to him. I should be the jealous one over here.” A slight grin tugged at the corner of her mouth.“And you should thank me for getting rid of Jessica.”I chuckled. “You getting rid of Jessica was it because of me or your selfish interest?”“Turns out she’s gotten a witty mouth.” She said, and flashed a sinister grin. “My name is Mia. He named me that. Has he ever called you by any name? Does he even know your name?” Her words pierced through my heart like a sharp spear. She was telling the truth tho.He doesn’t know my name. He has never called me by my name or any name. He just twirled and swirled me in his arms or on the bed.“I guessed I’m correct.” She flicked her thumb in the air at me
