The Alpha King’s Fated Scarred Mate

When the heaven decided to bless you, you’ll be dumbfounded.

Jace POV

Andromeda dropped me off a few meters away from the pack in which his presence would not be felt by the gammas.

With my foot mounting on the earth, my hands couldn’t let go of Andromeda, his fiery eyes and calm face.

“So I’m not going to see you anymore.” I said with a sad filled voice, and it shook its head.

“Don’t worry, whenever you’re in a desperate need of me, I’ll be there to help you.”

I watched as Andromeda flew into the air, it brawled it teeth at me before flying away. A pathetic sigh escaped from lips as i it watched disappear into a thin air.

Locking my gaze on the floor for signs of gallop, I couldn’t find one. My horse might have wandered away for the past four days, the whole walk was quiet except from the rustling sounds of leaves under my leg.

I suddenly caught whiff of a familiar scent but I just couldn’t decipher who it was.

Finally, I met him, Dain.

He was standing by his horse, fiddling with the bridles from the horse. He stood as if he was waiting for someone.

‘ Didn’t he left? ‘ I pondered with my furrowed brows.

There were two horses.

“Hey!” I said to distract his attention but he didn’t even budge.

Maybe he’s not Dain but I knew it’s him, lol. I knew his appearance from the back, the shape of his head.

I tried to reach for him and he swept me off my legs, grinning at me with a cold look.

“Where the fuck were you?” He gritted his teeth at me with worries and anger brewing in his eyes.

I stared lostly at him for a while before blinking my eyes after I heard him said, “I hope you came back with a probable solution?”

He helped me to my feet and I chuckled at him softly.

“Let return to the pack! How did you find my horse? And who told you I was going to pass here?” I couldn’t help but to questioned him.

“hey, I’m curious to know why you have faith in me. Why do you choose me over Jayden, the winning team?” I looked straight into his eyes and he didn’t bother to look away.

Our gaze locked for a while before he finally cleared his throat. But, he didn’t talked to me as urged his horse to ride.

I watched him on the horse getting away and him looking back to shot me a query look.

“I’m going to leave you this time, Jace.” He said.

I rode after him on the horse, catching up with him in a few minutes. His gaze was fixed on the road, to the sky and then back at me.

” Can you stop staring at me?” He asked in a solemn tone and I almost gloated.

I nodded and fixed my attention on the road. Eventhough, his identity was unknown, I still can’t help to admire him.

His porcelain skin, round shape lips and long eyelashes.

We stopped by to rest for the night, then thd next morning begin our journey.

The pack was sighted from afar, and I knew the gammas already sensed us, and must have send a messenger to the palace to announce our arrival.

We weren’t stopped, as we rode through the borders, but I knew they were looking at us. As we arrived at the city gate, the guards didn’t stopped us either.

I heard them whispered some inaudible words but my attention was on what I will meet while inside there.

“What if they asked why it took us so long to arrive?” I said aloud to myself, as we alighted from the horseback.

“Is that supposed to be a question?” Dain squeezed his face at me. He handed over his horse to the stable man.

“Yes, of course.” Answered I.

He stopped at his pace and I did. He stared straight into my eyes as if he was reading my future.

“We lost our way.” He said, and walked away.

I was left alone and all eyes on me, their faint murmuring filling my ears. Whenever, I stared back at them, they keep shut.

“His mother has refused to eat for the past five days.” I heard them whispered amongst themselves, but I feigned deafness.

“Isn’t he supposed to head to his mother first to check on her?”

” What a heartless son!”

“ssh… watch your words! He might hear you.”

They said, and I turned towards their direction with my gaze burning with flames.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

They shuddered at my stare and fell to their knees and my beast calm down.

“Kneel there for five days!” I ordered. “Stand up and you’ll be thrown to the street for the birds of the air to feast on.”

After saying this, I headed towards the palace to report to the council of elders first.

The hall was filled with many elders who might already be awaiting my death news or my failures. Dain was on his knees before my Uncle who seated on the throne with a straight face.

I don’t know why I keep getting him irked, some day, he might banished me for life.

“Greetings to the King, and council’s of elders.” I dropped to my knees, with my head kowtowing on the floor.

“Where are the eggs?” My uncle’s voice was cold as he inquired from me.

I stood to my feet trying not to shiver, my uncle read someone’s future and the mind.

I tried to control my breath so I wouldn’t sell myself out to him. I handed over the eggs to the eunuch, my uncle’s right-handed Man.

“No, bring it yourself, Jace.” My uncle’s voice sounded like a thunderstorm.

My eyes was firmed and devoided of any emotions ad I heeded to his command. His gaze pierced through my eyes as I slowly approached him.

I watched how the corner of my uncle’s lip curled up into a sneer.

” This is it, Uncle.” I said, handing over the eggs to him.

He stretched forth his hands and as my hands snuck into his, his grasps tightened around my wrist with a mischievous grin in his eyes.

“Unc…” I stuttered looking at him.

“Did the dragon marked you?” He asked, his face getting darker and eyes crimson.
