The Alpha King’s Fated Scarred Mate

Jayden’s POV

The day breaks with a lot of gladness in my heart. This day would be forever remembered and tagged a memorable day once I become the Alpha King.

Today was the King’s birthday, the day I’ll prove myself worthy of being crowned and declared the crown prince.

“She’s innocent!” The door flew open, and with Jace sauntering in, he wrinkled his nose.

I draped my crimson robe over my shoulders, slipping my hands in.

“Why crying over an ordinary maid?” my eyes rolled at him in askance.

He darted away from the spot he was towards the window. He backed me.

“You should be truthful.”

“I won’t!” I retorted in a loud voice.

” She would be killed!” He uttered in a concerned tone.

“Like I care?” I replied.

Jace hauled towards me with his gaze peering into mine, he tilted his lips.

“How badly do you cherish to become the king that you want to jeopardize an innocent life? huh?”

After a long pause of silence that exist between us, I grabbed the edge of his shoulders, and while he tilted his gaze to me, my lips parted.

“Maybe you should mind your business, prove her right, while I prove her wrong. It’s none of your business if I decided to become nice or not, it’s my choice.”

” Now I got to go.”my hands retracted from his shoulders, and I watched him stagger backward, he curled his lips in dissatisfaction, before getting out of my room.

A heavy sigh escalated from my lips.

“Good, you did that.” My mother’s voice resounded from my inner chambers.

I shrugged my head, forcing a smile.

“Good, you let that stupid boy knows his spot, but you shouldn’t be hostile to him. We have to catch him unaware, you’ve to keep acting nice, showing compassion, and acting as if you aren’t aware of what you’re doing.” My chin was cupped in my mother’s delicate palms, and her face was plastered with a warm smile, as she spoke.

Her palm ran through my hair, she flashed that smile at me.

“What if Uncle had wanted us both to prove the girl right and innocent?” My blues eyes rolled countless times at my mother, whose colorful eyes had subdued into a dark one. I presumed at that instant, she was dissatisfied with my opinion.

“The Luna is my Aunt, she hates weaklings.” “No matter how poor you perform, she will still assist you.”

My heart gladdens at that. At least, I’m certain I have a supporter.

” All you have to do is to ensure that Jace is being caught password,”

” Mother, Jace is assiduous, you know?”

” Then you have to show him that you’re the game master.” my mother spoke in a faint tone.

The door creaked open with a tiny and ugly maid peeping.

“Mistress, the celebration had began.” She announced with her head bowed.

” Good!

We were all sitting in the antiquated hall with all the viscount, Alpha with their bet a, and Luna being situated before the great ALPHA KING.

Elena was sitting beside me, dressed in a hot ball gown, her hair loosing down to her shoulder length. She had this sparkling coming out of her eyes like a diamond.

“I welcome you all to my 100th birthday, as the main purpose of inviting you all here wasn’t only for my birthday but to choose the heir to the throne.” The king spoke, with each of us staring at each other in bizarre.

“Viscount, and viscountess, Alpha, and gammas, permit me to introduce to you the two aspirants to the throne,” he paused, gesturing with his hands, as he furthered.

“Jayden and Jace!” He exclaimed with a round of applause fighting through the air.

” There was a murder attempt on the life of my wife, the culprit had been caught, but she pleaded not guilty.” The Alpha King who was my uncle paused, and there were echoes of murmuring in the hall.

” When I had wanted to give my judgment, one of the judges said; he believes the girl was innocent and hence would investigate, and proved her innocence, while the other thought it was a waste of time. I told them to bring their report to this day, as you all would witness, and also partake in the judgment.”

” The culprit should be brought.” He ordered, and my heart jumped.

Moments after my uncle had ordered for the culprit to be brought forth, four hefty men sauntered me to the middle of the vacant hall, carrying a cage that was covered with clothes.

The clothes were lifted, revealing the shape of a she-wolf who was locked in the cage, she bled all over her body, in her disheveled state.

“Jeez,” I overheard Elena’s voice. I turned to her, her attention was on the she-wolf, then trailed her gaze towards her parents.

Her mother’s face was plastered with a sweet and mean smile, while her father’s face pulled into a state of displease.

Her delicate, long, and gracious fingers shivered.

“Are you alright?” My voice drawled, she freaked when my palm rested upon her palm.

Her lips quivered, as her eyes scrutinized me. She struggled to comport herself, I knew at that instant that something was bothering her.

“Needs to share some things with me?” My gaze fixed on the girl in the cage.

” I’m okay. ” She stuttered.

“Can the two judges come over With the girl being uncaged, I would want the whole world to see her.”

Ann’s POV

I was dragged and pushed into a cage. With strips of clothes falling over the cage, hindering me the privilege to see the surrounding.

Despite my pleas to the moon goddess not to allow me to be shamed, I’ll be shamed.

My father and stepmom would be present at the Alpha’s King centenary birthday, I would be the subject of mockery to Elena and her mother, and a child of regret to my father.

How wish they could believe me, I should have just bitten my tongue and died, other than being brought here.

The hall was crowded with different distinguished nobles, and Alpha from the various pack in which they dominate.

After the King’s speech, I was brought out from the cage with barely my dress covering my nakedness. I was drenched in blood.

“The culprit said, she’s the daughter of alpha Hendrick.” Luna’s voice resounded through the hall.

As delicate and dulcet her voice sounded, it cut through me like the edge of a sword.

My eyes roamed through the entire courtroom which consists of more than five hundred royals who were sitting.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

A man sauntered forth falling to his feet with his head hitting against the floor.

“Forgive your servant for being careless but I’m sincere that I do not have a murderer to be my child, I have only my beautiful Elena who is betrothed to Lord Jayden.”

” Are you certain you didn’t have any other child?” The Luna inquired in a sarcastic tone.

“I do have but…” my father was caught ofbyom his speech.

” You should take a closer look at her, ”

My teeth sank into my bottom lips, as I patiently awaits the presence of my father.

His feet stopped a few meters away from mine, he scrutinized me with his pair of boggy eyes. I felt ashamed and had to hide my face in shame.

Good thing he already cast me away from him a long time ago, and now he should just forget about me.

I could read his mind in his eyes, they were filled with hate and regret, if he could kill me, he wouldn’t hesitate as my head would have already fallen to the ground.

” I do not know her, she isn’t acquainted with me, although I have a child who shares the same physique as her, but she’s long dead.”

My heart shattered at my father’s words but I tried to be stronger as I pulled all the strength within me up.

It isn’t his fault mine. I knew my father didn’t want me, and I also was detested by my Stepmom so I should have done them proud by becoming a better somebody.

“You may return to your seat, viscount.”

The Alpha uses viscount for all the Alpha in the pack under his supremacy. He was the only one to be addressed as the Alpha King, no other Alpha could bear the same title as him.

Jace stepped forth, arguing on my behalf. Whoever wins, will determine if she would be alive.”

After so much dragging, I was justified in not being guilty.

The Alpha King apologize to me, and said I should be promoted.

Waves of excitement flooded into my system, not at the mention of promotion but at Jace, he just saved my life.

When I turned, I could see the disappointment written on Jayden’s face but it was none of my fuckin business.

The Alpha King declared I should be taken away while he declared the next heir to the throne.

My mind beats repeatedly, what if Jayden was chosen as the heir?
