Chapter 125

Jameson 

As soon as Smith left and I found myself alone, my mind wandered back to the conversation I had with Vill regarding Malachi's betrayal. It troubled me that despite my innocence, I was stuck in a prison. I pondered over how Malachi managed to turn the alpha against me so effortlessly. I wondered if there was a way to make things right, although I knew it wouldn't be easy. Lost in my thoughts, a soldier interrupted me, beckoning me closer to deliver a message from the alpha. The soldier confirmed my identity and handed me a letter from someone claiming to be Hakman. Excited, I took the letter and began reading, eager to hear from Hakman. The soldier, sensing the approach of the prison guard, hurriedly made his exit before I could inquire further.

“Hey it's me Hakman I left with Vill just in time you leave and I got to you so late that I wasn't there till you're locked in prison; I'm sorry to not have been there for you” I read out slowly and took a break for a while. My mind looked so worried and got distracted by the prisoner who was locked close to me. 

“Hey, hey are you Jameson?" He asked with wordiness.

I became so surprised and speechless about why he was asking. I say nothing and instead stare at him getting so distracted.

“Yes, I knew that you're….  You're Jameson right” he asked again, wondering. 

I sighed and became thoughtful about who he was. 

“Have we met before?" I asked.

“Oh yes I knew, I knew that you're Jameson" the man responded again excitedly. 

This time, I had no choice but to explain to him who I'm..

“Yes I'm Jameson and you're… ..?” I questioned. 

“Wow , I'm Henry. I'm pleased to be in the same prison as you, Lord Jameson," Henry responded excitedly. 

"Hmm prison!” I thought to myself and couldn't help but to ask. "Why are you here Henry?” 

Henry looked so worried and responded emotionally. 

“I'm here because of my friend's betrayal, I was roped of murdral and nothing I could do to prove myself right. I just hope to break out of here and avenge my friend” Henry laminated. 

“Hmm, I took a deep breath feeling the heavy weight of the betrayal. 

"I'm sorry about your story, I really wished I wasn't here. I'll gladly help you out. But not to be a real mudral though..” I responded thoughtfully. 

Henry looks so worried learning that he's helpless.

“Why are you here? Is it true that you're plotting a treason against your brother, the alpha?" Henry asked.

“No why would I, The alpha is my closest brother whom I cherished. Why will I plan to harm my brother? I would rather lay my life to protect him” I respect emotionally.

“Hmm" Henry took a deep breath and said thoughtfully. “Do you really think this is proper, why would your brother lock you up if you're really not a traitor" 

Hmm, I looked thoughtfully and responded without giving it a second thought. “Why would your friend also roped you of murdral if you aren't a mudral?” 

“Wow … .!” Henry became powerless and out of ideas on what to say. “I guess we're on same side, we must learn to survive and prove our innocence” 

"Yes that's it, stay strong and survive and prove to the world that you're not a mudral” i laminated.

Henry looks so excited for seeing someone to speak up with after a long time. He was well hoped for in me despite being powerless in my state. Henry keep silent and pretend we had never talk as the prison guard was approaching. 

The prison guard approached with a rice cake in his hand. The prisoners were all set trying to collect the rice cake I pretended not to see him despite me starving. The prison guard stopped by and he passed through me.

“Hey, need one?" He said.

Despite my current circumstances, I choose to ignore him and observe him from a distance. As the prison guard exits, I contemplate my next move. I retrieve the letter and begin reading. 

“Hey it's me Hakman I left with Vill just in time you leave and I got to you so late that I wasn't there till you're locked in prison; I'm sorry to not have been there for you. It's so sad as I arrived here and learned about the Malachi conspiracy. According to my informants, Malachi informed the entire beta of a treason plot and your meeting with Vill , a kind of vampire head. I heard that he lied to the entire pack and elders and none of them supported you. And truly, Malachi is up to something, he has secured the alpha and the entire kingdom’s heart claiming that the chaos called by God's anger and God's anger was caused due to alpha's recklessness and his betrayal from his brother. The alpha is really angry at you now. And I guess it won't end well, until we break the person free and you run away because Malachi would do everything to take you behind the game to achieve his desires of enslaving the entire wolf. I will surely try my best to get you out of prison soon.” Hakman wrote. 

“Hmm” I  took a deep breath realizing what Malachi had done. I squished the letter with anger and I really hoped I was out of the prison soon. 

“Hey, you want one?" I heard a voice saying from behind.

I became so surprised and turned my back to confirm where the voice was coming from, “it's me Henry, will you try out this rice cake… ?” Henry said again.

"Wow Henry,” I said slowly and pushed for a while. “Please eat your rice cake else you'll starve till death" I laminated.

"Nope, you need it more than I do, you need strength to get out of here!” Henry insisted.

I try to reject his food but he seems complicated. Despite my effort , he insisted on giving his food to me. I became choiceless after a while and collected the rice cake from her, I split the cake into pieces and gave it to him. 

“Hey, have it…  you need it too” I said slowly as I gave him the rice cake.
