Chapter 83Jayden povA sharp pain stirred in my head as my eyes peeled open and I tried to push myself up from the bed.This was my room.Frustration and anger ate through me the moment my thoughts reeled back to when I had visited the eastern gate.Jace dared to raise his filthy hands on me? Now it seems like I'm the outcast.I will report him to my mother and she will deal with him.I pushed myself up from the bed and an ache ran through my jaw.I struggled with the door and walked straight to my mother's chambers.Unfortunately, all I was hearing were screams from inside the house.I ran in to see my mother banging the head of a maid on the linoleum until her head burst open, with blood and white liquid splattering around."Mother you shouldn't have done this. What was her offense?""She's more beautiful than I. Look at the way her skin is shining. I need her to be me. Find me an alchemist. I need an alchemist, I need a soul shifter!" "Mother, you don't do this! The devil is rea
Chapter 82Jace pov"Jayden, you keep getting on my nerves despite me trying to avoid your troubles. Why?""You could go ahead to slay me and stop asking me silly questions, brother." He flashed his bloodstained teeth at me."I would only do that when you refuse to leave here right now." I was losing my patience. "Jayden, I need you to get out now before I break your face into an unrecognizable state," I growled, and despite the anger brimming within me, I wore my cool calm outer appearance like armor.Jayden cried like a baby. "I just want to see your mother." He twisted his face like someone who had lost his mind. "Is anything wrong with seeing her?""Nothing is wrong in seeing but so many things are fishy. Why cause trouble just because you want to see my mother?" He scratched his body and twisted like he was dancing. "I've missed her. I just want to see her." "Where are the guards?" I inquired and they rushed forth. "Take him out of this place." I pointed at Jayden and they no
Chapter 80Jayden pov“Is that all?” I asked him as I placed my bleeding thumb on the agreement paper before him. His eyes held no emotion as he lifted the paper off the table, then looked in my direction and nodded. “Fine, we leave now,” I said and he stood.I changed into a black dress and so did my uncle, then we walked through the back door into the underground passage that leads outside.We crawled out of the hole and met ourselves outside the palace then we began to walk, then transformed into our wolf form and ran until we got to the canopy of trees that lined up the entire forest.“Is this the brothel?” I asked and my uncle nodded Then I swallowed hard and tried to walk away but my uncle held me back by resting his hands on my shoulders and grinning.“Think before you do anything reckless, Jayden. This antidote is what your mother needs to restore her health.”I frowned and said. “I’m not a toddler you don’t have to act like my father.” I gritted my teeth and began to walk aw
Chapter 79Jayden povKick! Kick!“What do you mean he doesn't want you to be around when his mother is being treated?” My brows winged up at him, while he trembled profusely.“He-he…” he was stuttering, his eyes blinking. My foot dreadfully approached him slowly, while he staggered back, his eyes fluttering as I glared hard at him.While his back hit the wall, I stopped and saw a flicker of relief crossing over his face.It was so quick, he didn't see it coming as I threw a knife in his direction which slightly cut through his cheeks and pierced the wall.His body froze, eyes not blinking. I had to cover the distance between us and grabbed him by his neck, only then did he stir to his consciousness.A glint of begging for survival flashed in his eyes, tears poured freely, and mucus. He even peed in his pants.The black in his eyes had already rolled to the back as only the whiteness was showing. “I dare you not to bring me some drugs for today then I’ll ensure I cut your family one
Jace povChapter 78I don’t know how but all I could say was that the wood froze in the air when I had spread my hands, and imagined it froze.My hands were trembling. It felt as if I was lifting a rock. An unending ache strikes in my spreader hands.No! I grunted in pain, praying in my heart that the matriarch would just leave in time before the wood would drop.I already gotten myself into a hideous spot so as Mia.Immediately, the door cleak close, I had my hands retracted and the wood dropped.Oh no, it dropped on Haggai’s head. I wasn’t aware that he was also leaving.He stared up, and squeezed his nose in disgust while his other hand clung to his head tightly,He cursed and spat before heading out of the hall.“Haggai is really Jessica’s son? Is this a joke?” there was a hint of disbelief in her tone as she questioned me.Well, I didn't answer her cause a lot if thoughts were scrambling in my mind. Mia tugged at my arms and I shushed to be still.I turned to her. “Mia tell me y
Chapter 77Jace povA low growl tugged at my throat. My beast were threatening to rise to the surface. “Kill her!” Its voice rumbled in my ears and filled my head.Kill her?Does it mean the person I’ve been fighting with was a female? No way I’d throw my punch if actually she’s a woman. As my opponent lunged forth to kick me, I grabbed the leg and swirled it until I heard it, her soft scream.I let go, but pinned her against the floor. My lips a few inches away from her.Those tiny eyes peeled out of the open space of her mask.Her scent wafted my nose and gosh, I feel so irritated at the moment not that she was stinking but at the realization that it was Mia.“Fucking bitch!” I muttered under my breath. Rolling off her while she took off her mask and grinned at me hardly.“Don’t tell me you’re so weak in martial combat?”“I wasn’t allow to practice martial art or any form of fighting. I was forbidden from doing so.” I pushed myself up from the floor.“So in case you’re being attack
