Chapter 8
Jayden POV
Jace came right at the time, and it was such a delight.
For a very long time, I've been thinking about how to fulfill this very dream of mine.
The dreams on how to turn those pictures into reality and that was with Jace.
"Who would we be having it with?"Jace questioned.
I whistled, snapping my fingers.
She walked in, the maid with the burnt scar on her face.
"Her?"Jace slurred, rolling his eyes at me in dissatisfaction.
"Relax!"I cooed, tapping him on his shoulder.
"Take this book and do exactly what' you saw within."
I could read the displeasure on her face but she was nothing important for me to behold.
"Now!"
"I should get going." Jace opined, rushing out of my chamber before I could even utter a word.
I was enraged at his act, hence tends to unleash my anger by taking that girl into bondage.
I beat her to a stupor, dragging her off the rough linoleum not minding if she die or not.
"I'll have to lure him into a trap!"

The next day...
I was summoned to the Eastern palace by my mother.
In the chamber was my mother seated, my sisters, and a maid who was fanning my mom.
There were varieties of ornaments, golds, and jades lying on the floor. They were such a great sight to behold.
Upon taking me into recognition, my mother arose from her sitting position, with her lips curling up into a wide curve, she sauntered over to my side, pulling me into a tight hug.
"Oh, Jayden, "Her soft palms clasped below my chin, her beautiful eyes glistened, her appearance was dulcet, her hands slowly glided from my chin down to my shoulder, and she gave me a light tap.
"Come have a seat."She ushered, leading the way.
"Jayden, "Those were my sister's voices, they were all flashing waves of sweet smiles at me.
"You all seem to be effervescent, perhaps the motives could be shared with me."I conjecture, with the tip of my index finger being lifted in the air.
They all busted into am uproarious laughter, each clasping their hands to their bosom.
"There's nothing special going on, of course. We are just present here to discuss on your behalf."
"My behalf?"I was taken aback by their word, I repeated their word.
"Yes." Ella chimed, heightening her back.
"The Alpha King centenary celebration is five days ahead, so you haven't gotten a gift. We are situated here currently to help you in choosing what should be your present to him." Irene spoke, chesting out.
I had this smug smile curled on my face.
"Hmm...hmm..."I slurred, ensconcing myself in a wooden chair.
"So what's your spec?"I inquired with my wide stare eyes.
"I suggested you presented a diagram like an art piece to the Alpha King, but Ella said; it isn't appropriate. So," She twitched her lips, alongside her face which was pulled into a state of distaste.
I knitted my brow in anticipation of her word. It was already eminent, due to the tone of her voice, and the expressions on her face that whatsoever she will utter in the next few seconds will not sit right with me.
"So, I decided to keep my mouth shut while Ella and Mom help you find something to do."
My gaze darted towards my mom's side, and also Ella's.
Ella let out a sarcastic chuckle before turning to face my mother. If there's anyone to be compared to my mother in terms of beauty in the whole of the Australian kingdom, it should be Ella, she not only inherit her beauty but also her mom's genetic traits.
They have the same complexion, stature, manner of speaking, smiling, and beautiful face.
If only she had not been my sister, I would have gotten engaged to her for a very long time.
"Irene suggested you took an art diagram to the Alpha King on his birthday?"She emphasized the last words, with a knitted brow, the sarcasm in her tone was eminent.
"That sounds funny and childish, I'd rather suggest you present a diadem stocked and laced with diamonds and little pieces of precious stones. I think this sounds better than..."
"You all spouting rubbish, and I would bid myself goodbye."Irene sprung from her position, shooting us a look filled with resentment, without uttering a word, she stormed out of the room we were in.
After her exit, my mother continued, after a minute's silence, clearing her throat.
"I have the best poetic in the kingdom at the brisk of my finger," She gloated with a lot of confidence, swaying her shoulder gingerly in the air.
"What business does the king's birthday celebration have to do with a poetic?" I inquired in a distasteful tone, trying not to show how displease and disappointed I was.
"He's an old Man, a mighty man in battle, oldest in the whole of the kingdom, what gifts could you present to such an old man that he will value if not but poems which should be written in his praise, it should entail about his good side, and battles he had won."
"Mother, even you?" I gawped at her, feeling disoriented.
"Your ideas sound really good but not germane enough."
"I'll rather prepare a yacht, I have the people involved in the building almost rounding up."
"You should listen to me!"Cried my mother, gazing at me with a troubled countenance.
I never heed the remainder of her words, as my legs were already hauled towards the door and out of her chamber.
What a twerps?
My mother must be silly to have suggested; we hired a poetic.
What fuckin poems?
I need to get my head cleared up. Once I become the Alpha King, I'll home arrest her.
***
I bumped into someone coincidentally. When I behold, it was one among the filthy maids in the palace who I detest with so much hate.
The one with the scar on her face, the one whom Selene had commanded to be my mate.
My gaze burned into her, and she panicked, moving abreast.
A slight grin appeared on my face, as a silly idea crept into my head.
What fun would this be?
Chapter 96Elena’s POVI never wanted this. I didn't want anything to do with Ann's baby and I didn't want him near my house but here Jayden was, forcing me to nurse him. The baby wouldn’t stop crying. His tiny screams pierced through my ears and the whole house. It was relentless and sharp. I was holding him close, but all I really wanted to do was to be far away from him but I couldn't, because Jayden was watching.He stared at me as he stood near the doorway, arms folded and jaw clenched tight. I could feel his frustration from the distance. “Elena,” he snapped. “Make him shut up. If he doesn’t stop, I swear I’ll take him with me and never come back.”My chest clenched. Not at the thought of taking the baby away but because of Jayden. My Jayden. I could'nt live without jayden. I have spent years chasing, loving, and waiting for him.So I swallowed the bitter bile in my throat and forced a small, tight smile. I didn't like that I had to babysit Ann child but I'll do anything for J
Chapter 95Seven month adgerJayden povI grinned as they brought Ann to my presence. This was everything I ever wanted and now it was standing right here in front of me. Ann stood by the edge of the room looking like royalty. My Cousin Jace's wife. The princess who stole his heart. She looked at me with spite, her eyes shot like daggers as she eyed me, cutting through the dim light. Her beautiful dress was already torn at the side from an earlier struggle. She actually seemed so far, so out of reach but now I got her. I was going to make her mine. Going to taste what felt so good to Jace but she wasn't making it easier for me "I will never be yours" she hissed at me spitefully which made my blood boil. She was right. She would never be mine, but I wouldnt accept defeat. I walked up to her and slapped her. Harder than I meant to. Now, her cheek bore a faint red mark where I slapped her. Ann didn't flinch, Instead she taunted me ."You can't keep me here forever," she spat, her v
Chapter 94Ann povThe news came as a shock to me. I couldn't settle down. There was no way that I could settle down after hearing the news that my baby has been kidnapped by my sister who is also my arch enemy and bed husband who hates me. The news broke me. "Ann," he started, his voice soft and smooth. "you need to calm down" he said trying to pacify me but it only made me madder the more. My blood was boiling and my whole body was soaked in sweat. "Calm down?" I turned towards him, my vision blurring with tears and rage."Calm down? Our child is out there with Jayden and Elena! Our enemies! Do you even hear yourself? How do you expect me to calm down?"Jace walked slowly toward me, with a careful expression. "Ann, listen. I know this is terrifying. But—""No!" I shouted, shoving my hands in the air. "Don't you dare act like this is just terrifying. This is hell. You might want to make this seem light, but It's not. Your brother Jayden is a monster, and Elena... she's not my siste
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
