Chapter 123
Jameson POV
I was shocked and confused by my brother's betrayal and the accusations against me. I looked confused at first but it all became clear when Malachi's true intentions were revealed. It was evident that he was the one corrupting everyone's hearts. I wish someone could narrate everything that happened to me but no one to rely on. I tried to calm Alpha Ashir but it was all in vain. Despite my innocence, I entered the meeting room to a hostile atmosphere where I couldn't defend myself. Alpha Ashir called me out, leaving me bewildered by the unfolding events. “You the traitor, your intentions have been revealed” elder Thomas accused. Elder Thomas accused me of treachery, and I struggled to explain myself amidst the chaos. Malachi twisted the truth to turn Alpha Ashir against me, leading to a physical altercation and my eventual imprisonment. Despite my efforts to prove my innocence, I was silenced and taken away, still reeling from the betrayal. I was forcefully dragged to the prison with thoughts and anger in my mind. Despite the intimate anger I never blamed myself for what I had done, finding out the truth about Malachi's intentions. I became more sad not knowing about Malachi’s corrupted words to the entire pack but it's fruit had rape and it indeed a bad outcome. My only thought was on how I'll get myself out of the prison and reach out to my brother in private to explain everything to him but no one I could open up to because no one believed me. “Hey you open the gate" I commanded one of the gatekeepers standing at my front. “Do you think you could control us, who are you to tell us to open the door, you this traitor," the gatekeeper responded. " Traitor!” I exaggerated feeling exhausted. “How could a mere prison guard call me a traitor?" I continued feeling so frustrated. The prison guard looked at me with a look. "You are an honorable man when you're still in your title as the beta Jameson but not when you're in prison as a traitor,” the prison guard responded. I'm still filled with surprises thinking about what Malachi had put me through. I try catching up with the prison guard to find out what he knows. “How could you call me a traitor while standing here... What did your fool know to call me a traitor” I laminated. The prison guard choked in laughter. “Do you think everyone as not known already, the enter castle is aware of your betrayal. We'll know how you meet with Vill, the head of a vampire forming an alliance with him to claim the throne and become the Alpha…. In your dream hahaha” the prison guard responded. I became frustrated and stood up from where I was seated. I hit the prison door hard and wished it could break so that I could escape and get the prison guard killed. “Are you by chance talking to me, I promise you that I'll kill you once I get out of here" I screamed angrily.. "In your dream. Haha” the prison guard responded. I looked so sad and altered no further words to calm my anger. I went back to my seat meditating, I felt an in-depth pain both physical and deep down in me. I screamed in pain as I folded my leg and went into my thoughts. My thoughts led me back to Vill and Hakman. I wondered if they could see what I was feeling right now. I became more sad that my brother gave me no chance to explain. Just as I went deeper in thought, I heard a voice calling from my deep thought. “Beta Jameson?" The voice said slowly. I called myself from my long thoughts immediately and opened my eyes to see Smith. “Smith!" I shouted.. I stood up immediately from where I was seated and went to the prison door. “Please open the door, I need to see Alpha immediately” I altered. Smith looked so worried, feeling doubtful about what he could do. He was so worried that he didn't know what to say. “Don't you believe me too? Do you believe that I could overthrow my brother? Why would I do that” I laminated. Smith looks so worried and holds my hand through the prison door. “I trust you lord Jameson I know that you'll never do that but I'm powerless, I wish I could help you but I couldn't say a word at the meeting right now because the Alpha and the entire beta are angry and no one would believe me” Smith explained. " Hmm” I took a deep breath thoughtlessly being lost on what I could do next. “Just open the door, I'll know how to speak with him," I pleaded. Smith feels sorry for me and apologies for being powerless. "I'm sorry I couldn't help you in your state" Smith apologized. “Hmm" I took a deep breath thoughtfully, thinking about the way out. “Do you know what they were discussing right now at the meeting hall?" I asked. Smith looked so worried and his worried face made me feel sorry. I was full of curiosity asking why until he finally spoke up. “The priest revealed the gods' will and the causes of the chaos. According to him, the chaos was caused because of god's anger on the entire kingdom and the god's anger happens not by your plots against your brother but about Adara's death. Adara's death is yet to be honored. That's why the gods were angry and the alpha must be mated with a princess of the night shadow's pack, lord Mitchell to lift the god's curse.” Smith explained. “Wow that's wrong…. Adara is still alive and the prophecy about her his real” I shouted angrily. Smith left me in the prison leaving me alone and I couldn't help but go back to my thoughts. I could remember each word with Vill about Malachi's betrayal. I felt sad that I ended up locked in a prison as a prisoner despite my pure heart. I wonder how Malachi had poisoned the alpha's heart so that he could call me by my name without hesitation. I wonder what I could do to make things right though won't be easy but I was well aware of it. I got distracted from my long thoughts after a while when a soldier called me. The soldier signals me to come closer and I quickly do so , he commands the prison guard to give him a distance claiming to deliver the alpha's message. “Are you Jam… Jameson?” The soldier asked. I moved closer to the prison door and responded, “Yes I'm Jameson" The soldier looked around to confirm that no one was spying. “Someone is looking for you, he called himself Jameson and asked me to give you this” the soldier said and brought out a letter. I felt so excited hearing Hakman’s name and I collected the letter from him. “Thanks, and who are you?" I questioned. Suddenly, the prison guard approaches, making the soldier feel uncomfortable. “I'm sorry I'll have to leave now!" The soldier laminated without even having a chance to tell him his name. “Hakman!" I said excitedly as I opened the letter and began to read.
