Chapter 133
Jameson POV
“Come to us the moon goddess and free us from slavery, come to us our mesire and deliver us from the heartless man, come to us Adara, the powerful moon goddess you are our only hope" I sang.
Malachi became so irritated about the song and he did everything to put the atmosphere in control before the alpha could notice. I became more sad and helpless as I saw some maids and guards dead while some were terribly injured. I wonder what had been done to my brother as he couldn't take any step towards such a treasonous act of Malachi.
"Enough Malachi, why can't you kill me instead of killing those people… . Are you hungry for blood or something?” I shouted angrily at Malachi.
Malachi made his way towards my prison, and I gripped the door in anger, ready to confront him if he stopped at my cell. However, he passed by me and headed straight to Henry's door. "He's the traitor who started the song," Malachi accused.
I protested vehemently, but Henry was taken away, defiant and unrepentant. Malachi ordered him to be tied to a chair and beaten, but Henry continued singing, even as he neared death. Inspired by his bravery, I joined in, singing a song of hope and liberation to the moon goddess Adara. The other prisoners rallied behind us, and the prison echoed with the sound of the resurrection song.
The song had spread widely this time, reaching even the guards outside the castle and drawing the attention of Alpha Ashir. He couldn't resist the urge to investigate and followed the melody all the way to the prison. Seeing Alpha Ashir after a long time came as a surprise to me. I called out to him, eager to attract his attention. Upon reaching the prison, Alpha Ashir focused on Henry, who was being mistreated by Malachi. Despite my attempts to get his attention, Alpha Ashir seemed more concerned with Henry's situation, and the echoing situation got him more irritated.
“What's going on here?" Alpha Ashir asks angrily from Malachi.
Malachi was a bit curious with his evil look and I was so desperate to hear the lies he'll compose this time.
“It's the traitors alpha, they are plotting to kill you!” Malachi explained.
“Traitors…. What do you mean by killing me?” Jameson inquired.
“Yes, traitors!" Malachi laminated and explained further. "Just as I was helding out of your chamber earlier, I could notice a step of someone following me. I stayed alert and hidden until I finally found the culprit. Upon seeing her, I find out that she was sent by lord Jameson and I couldn't resist hearing such a risky plan. I tried interrogating lord Jameson but he insisted on saying something. Currently, I have found out about Jameson's plan to kill you through the use of witch power. He visited Vil, a witch l to conquer all the power to kill you.” Malachi explained.
“That's not done, how could my brother do this to me?" Alpha Ashir said angrily and went directly to my prison to portray his anger on me. I was so much excited to finally see him helding to my prison but was at the same time sad for his notorious look.
“Are you really trying to kill me, what the hell were you trying to do?" Alpha Ashir quarries angrily as he gets to me.
Depression follows and I was short of words knowing that Malachi has taken control of Alpha's heart and nothing I could say that he would believe me. Not at this moment.
“Please calm down my brother, you of all people could understand that I'll never do this to you. Malachi was the one you should be scared of, not me" I altered emotionally.
Alpha Ashir showed no sign of concern despite how emotional I looked. Instead he vows to kill me. “Really, you really mean that you're not plotting a treason. What do we call what's happening right now? What should we call this song about the Adara resurrection? Isn't this a real treason and you start it" Alpha ashir laminated.
"Wow no no no, alpha please hear me out” I pleaded and continued after letting out a loud gaze.
“Please understand me alpha, I wouldn't plot to kill you never, all I'm trying to do was to help and free our kingdom from evil that was about to befall us. Adara is not a threat to our nation, the real threat was Malachi. He's a traitor, not me, "I explained.
Malachi steps forward hearing his name and interferes.
“Can you hear what this traitor is saying? He's actually calling me a traitor, I guess he's insane” Malachi said.
“Enough Malachi, just admit that you're a traitor…” I responded angrily.
Malachi moves a bit closer to my cell and I did to him like a hungry lion as I struggled to break free of the prison and kill him.
“What do you want to kill me? That won't cover up your treason” Malachi said.
I was so so annoyed by Malachi's claims, me as a traitor and I couldn't hold back but to shout back denying his claim and trying to prove my innocence. Everything became more complicated as the song of Adara's resurrection was echoed again by the prisoner and the maids which got Alpha Ashir more irritated.
“Arrest them all and squeeze them till the last of their blood drains. Tutored them and killed them in public before the mating ceremony tomorrow so that everyone could learn from them. Anyone who sang or whispered Adara's name now is a traitor and he should be killed on sight” Alpha Ashir altered and turned his back to leave.
I watched him as he was leaving and I struggled to hold him back.
“Wait alpha, please wait and hear me out at least. I know that you're truly angry at me but please just wait and hear me out… remember we are brothers” I pleaded, shouting in my top voice.
Alpha Ashir pretends not to hear me at first but turns his back upon hearing me calling him my brother.
“Bother!, brother!… Do you really mean brother?” Ashir quarry.
“Yes brother" I said emotionally without hesitation despite my condition.
Ashir moved to my prison cage and struggled to portray his anger at me but the door was so tight and he couldn't do anything.
“Take him and tutored him until he was unable to stand or speak before hanging him tomorrow” Alpha Ashir commanded, turning to Malachi.
