The Alpha King’s Fated Scarred Mate

Jace’s POV

“I dare you to call me husband, henceforth, and see how I’ll pamper you with my hatred!”

Shansi’s brightened expression turned paler and aggravated. I could see tears welling up in her eyes but I meant what I said.

“If wasn’t for you, my reputations wouldn’t have been tainted, neither would I’ve been ridiculed by your people.”

She sniffled in her tears, and spoke in an unclear tone,”my father is dead, my mother dead, and my favorite handmaiden dead. What else do you want?” ” Aren’t those enough to quench your vengeance and hatred towards me?” Her breath fanned against my jaw as she spoke, and I avoided to look straight into her eyes.

I retracted myself from her and walked over to the bedstand, naked. I picked my trouser and slipped my legs in.

“Where’s the courtyard maid?” My voice loud, so a voice answered at the door.

“At your service master.”

“I wants this maid to fetch water into 25 basket. Those basket must be filled to the hem.” I enunciated in my last words while putting on my royal robe.

I turned to her and smirked. “What are you waiting for? Get out!” I signalled with my face and I could see how coldness had flickered in her eyes.

” Filthy maid, do you need my help?” A sinister smile appeared at the corner of my lips as I inquired.

With tears streaming down her eyes, she lowered her gaze and fiddled with her fingers.

“Can you please give me some clothes to cover my nakedness?” She beseeched.

“Remember how I was stark naked, tied to a fucking horse and allowed to be ridiculed in your pack just because of your misconceptions? ”

” That was because I was dead!” She chimed. ” Who wouldn’t act aggravated when his only child is taken in a gruesome way? ” She fought back at me.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

I stared, speechless for a while.

” So getting an innocent person naked and shamed for what he knows nothing about is good? ”

She darted her gaze away from me, and fiddled with her fingers again. That must be her habit when she’s in a tight corner.

“My father didn’t knew I was alive. No one knew who I looked like in this pack and the neighboring packs. And viscount are not permitted to look at corpse.” She spoke, and looked up to me with her brightened blue eyes.

“So, my father is innocent and does not deserves to be beheaded!”

” He knew you were alive!” I added to my words in a cold tone.

She berserked with tears streaming her face down. “No, he never knew, then.”

“He knew from the day I set my foot in your pack. The moments his guards forced me to be on my knees in front of him.”

With a widened eyes, she stared hard at me, mouth dropped.

” How?” She inquired in a low tone.

” You should get out!” I grabbed the fist of her hair, and dragged her to the doorstop.

Turning the doorknob opened, I kicked her out with spite.

“Never should anyone gives her a cloth to shade her nakedness.” My voice was stern, and I knew the handmaiden understood my caveat.

I stared through the window monitoring how the pack members scorned at Shansi. I was delighted at every of the taunt and how she’d hide her face from the crowd.

“Jace,”

I heard from the least of the person I’d want to hear from. A tight frown scrunched at my brows.

“Jace, I’m your mother! Why would you ignore you mother? You have never acted this way to me. You’ve always be kind and lenient to me before you were wrongly banished.”

” What’s my crime Jace? I begged you to tell me so I could seek your forgiveness and amend my way?”

Furiously, I left the window side, and stride towards her. I never stopped at her side, I was walking away but her hands grabbed mine and I was forced to stop somehow.

“Ja,”

“You’re a bad mother!” Before she could pronouce my name I interrupted her.

I could heard her whimpers, and how her tightened grasp around my fist suddenly dropped.

I knew tears would have already streamed down her face but I’m not that pathetic to watch a woman crying just to show her affection.

A woman shouldn’t cry over trifling words. They should emaciated the act of investigating and proffering solutions to the cause of their tears.

I shrieked my grasp away from her aggressively and headed out of the room.

I headed straight to lady Jessica’s chamber for dinner.

“Good evening master Jace. My lady just sent me to fetch you.”

A brightening smile curled up my cheeks at the thought on how lady Jessica could be caring and life saving at a critical moment.

Arriving at the banquet, Lady Jessica rushed off to me and urged me to a specially designed spot.

“My son, Jace. How I’m so elevated in seeing for the first time in three years.” She cried, excitedly and pulled me into a tight hug.

Awed at her charisma, my eyes shone with pleased, and a slight smile played across my lips.

“Brother,” a voice said and jumped on me almost causing me to a fall.

A surreal feelings stirred awake within every inch of my skin as if being licked by heat. Keeping a serene expression, I quietly pushed her off me as her bosom pressed hardly into my chest.

“Amy .” I uttered in a cold voice.

Her face flushed with embarrassment but was quick to conceal her emotions with smiles.

“Mother, I’m damn hungry. I’ve missed and yearned for your meals.” I said and sits myself on the designed spot.

“I’m flattered.” Lady Jessica smiled so dulcet.

I stared blindly at Amy who coquettishly whined her body before me, perhaps was trying to grasp my attention.

She cleared her throat, “brother, I’ve solely drain out wine from the grapevine during the time you were away since it was your favorite, store it in a jar and hide it under the trunk of the oak tree.”

” I have the maid bring it over, it will soon be here. I’ll drink the wine with you alone brother.”

” Hmph!” Jayden smirked. ” What’s that for huh? You’re giving such a valuable treasure to Jace and not me your brother, huh?”

” That’s unfair!” Jayden Said and morphed his face into a scowl.

His words and facial expressions stirred awake many waves of laughter from the rest of us, except me.

As the laughter subsided, I heard a shattered sound which makes me to darted my gaze from the teacup at my front.

Amy lifted the lowest of her skirt, and ran over the scene. Her body trembling as she glanced from the jar on the ground to the maid.

She sobbed, and in anger she spoke. ” Ann, why does it have to be you! Despite my likeness for you!” “You’ve just shattered my dream!”

My pupils dilated as I watched the maid trembled in fear. Her face seems familiar but I don’t know…

“I’m sorry my lady. Something…”

Before the maids could finished her words, she was interrupted by Amy.

“Sorry?” Amy bent to pick a broken piece of the jar. “Sorry for wasting my efforts of three years? I solely extract the wines, and store them in this jar so as to please brother but you ugly bitch dares to ruin big brother day! ”

‘ she should be taught a lesson! Amy spent time and dedication in preparing that wine. ‘ A voice said amisdt the argument.

Amy aggressively lifted the maid’s jaw with a sharp piece of the jar in her grasp. She was going to tear the maid’s face with it.

“Uhm…” There was clearing of throat. “It’s okay. It’s just a jar of wine.” Jayden chimed.

Hana turned to cast a murderous glare at Jayden. “Just?” She mewled with her scrunched brow.

“Don’t misconstrued my words sister. I mean, Ann broke the wine you had intended to gift Jace. Since, this is his day, you shouldn’t take the law in your hands but rather allow Jace to punish her. ”

Yes! Jace should punish her! The words erupted in the air.

Amisdt their chorus, my thoughts were about this maid. We’ve met before and talk, her scents wafted into my nostril and the moments from when we’ve met and talked replayed in my head.

The sucide girl!

The murderer!

Why is she always trouble whenever our path met? I pondered in my heart, my eyes partially scrutinizing her entire body.

“Okay.” Amy answered to calm the chorus.

“Brother Jace,” she called through her pouted lips and chewed her fingers.

She always does that whenever she’s forced to make a decision or do something; she chewed her fingers.

“Since today is your day, I want you to punish her for ruining your day, my efforts, and my mood.” ” And not allowing you to taste or enjoy the wine. ”

I sighed theatrically at the scheme before me. From my observation Jayden seems to be agitated when Amy had picked the broken jar and was going to slice Ann, so he opted for me to make the decision so I could save Ann?

Maybe I was wrong in my theory but the answers would be provided when I give my judgement.

“Jace,” Jayden called.

They were all in suspense awaiting my decision.

“Do you really want me to punish that maid?” I asked with a sinister grin curling my lips.

There was silence.

‘this is not the usual Jace! This is another new versions of Jace!”

” What… do you mean? Punish her! Give your decree, she’s just a maid!”

The maid with her bewildered eyes, and puffing chest lifted her gaze to me, fears and panic flickering within them.
