Chapter 136

Jameson POV

In the evening shortly after the event. I was forcefully dragged out by the soldiers with Henry and a few more people tied tightly on the chair beating hard by the soldiers at the front of the castle. I screamed in pain as the rod landed heavily at my back. Blood drifted out from my body and I murmured in pain but decided to hold on to it rather than reveal the secret to Malachi. Malachi was sitting at my front annoyingly watching as I was being tutored. After a hundred strokes at my back, my whole cloth turned into blood and I became so weak but still decided to hold on to the secret. 

“Stop!" Malachi commanded and stood up from where he was seated, he moved closer to me with a fake emotion on his face.  

“Would you just stand there watching? Why can't you just take the rod or take the sword and just kill me?” I snarled angrily.

Malachi's disgusting look got me worried and I really know that that's not who he was. He went down kneeling on my level and held my hand speaking emotionally.

“Lord Jameson, just why! Why would you let yourself to such a terrible incident despite your status? Why do you have to undergo such a terrible punishment? What takes you on telling the truth” Malachi whispered to my ear emotionally.

“Hmm" I took a deep breath trying to catch up with Malachi's game. “I really understand dear friend but what if I'm not keeping a secret what do I have to reveal?" I responded, expecting Malachi's anger but my expectations were not as thought.

“What… Do you expect me to believe that? Just tell me the truth and I'll tell Alpha  Ashir to set you free” Malachi Speculated. 

“Haha, truth" I responded jockinly. Malachi look disinterested in my laughter and instead concentrate on finding out what he was to know. “Would you say the truth now and I let go of all this innocent people including you else I'll started killing this people" Malachi said angrily.

I laughed again looking more stronger and waited for my faith even if it would end up to my death.  “I guess I have lived enough, kill me and I'll die with no regrets" i said confidently. 

Malachi was really provoked of my statement and he made many attempts to make me reveal the secret but I was so stubborn which got him more angry. He took the rod himself and started beating me angrily and also ordered the soldier to continue beating them. 

“Ops, haa" I took a deep breath in pain and almost fainted but try to swallow the pain. Malachi also stop after awhile breathing heavily after portraying all his anger on the beating. He dropped the rod and hold on for a while. 

“Will you speak now or not?" Malachi asked again. 

“Oh no, I can't even if you have to kill me" I said to myself. After a while, Malachi stood on a single sport starting at me but later decided to leave after a while. He also ordered the soldier to secure us and make sure that we never escaped, Malachi went in the moment that follows to meet Alpha in his chamber. I looked sceptical immediately and couldn't stop wondering about Malachi's intentions. “Could Malachi by chance went to beg alpha of my pardon?" I thought to myself wondering. 

Just as Malachi went in, i saw one of the maid breathing heavily and almost collapse and whispering tasty. I was more curious and try to help her but it was all in vain as the security was so tight with the soldiers more altered.

“Please I need water" I said to one of the soldiers who was standing beside me. 

The soldier ignored my words and acted as if I hadn't spoken, causing me great frustration. As I looked around, I saw other revolutionaries who were labeled traitors like me, whispering about death with evident pain. I felt saddened by the situation and vowed to find a way to free them, even though my options were limited.

“Please give her water" I screamed angrily to the soldier who stood beside me as I watched the maid fainted. I wept heavily as the soldier showed no mercy.

After a while, I decided to keep my anger to myself and wept bitterly both inside and outside. Some minutes later, I saw Malachi coming outside but acted as if I didn't even exist. I tried calling his name hoping to tell him the truth if he could actually free the innocent maid and other prisoners but he didn't respond to my call. I try calling him over and over but he chooses not to respond. After a while, I watch Malachi exit the castle with a few soldiers escorting him out. The terrible night went on with me and other traitors outside starving and screaming in pain.  The following day, more soldiers arrived at the castle, And they were all led by each pack leader. I saw Malachi leading his soldiers while Mitchell was being escorted by her maids. I was still left in confusion and looking disgusting where I was as all the pack leaders were passing by and watching me with a pity face. Some of the pack members and the elders also pass through me with annoying looks and hissing at me. I became so sad from the experience and prayed that it wouldn't last long. 

As I saw Malachi coming closer to him, I tried scheming his name and he stopped by. 

“Malachi, please wait!" I shouted. 

Malachi stops on his horse and much attention was diverted to me by the pack leaders and some elders who were also passing by. 

"What do you have to say, you this traitor?” Malachi said as he stopped by. 

“Hmmm" I took a deep breath knowing that I was left with no choice. “Could you spare me a little of your time alone?" I asked voluntarily, looking so emotional.

Malachi looked a bit confident and responded. “To do what? So you can kill me or what" 

“No that's not it, I really want to tell you the truth" I responded.

" Hahaha the truth” Malachi said and held on for a while. "Keep your truth to yourself, you're dead anyway,” Malachi added. 

“No, please help me, I'm really serious this time" I responded emotionally.

Malachi looked choiceless and he looked around watching the people staring. He ordered one of the soldiers to take me to a secret room, with my hand and leg tied with a chain. 

Without wasting a time Malachi moved closer to me to listen to what I was intending to say as we got to the secret room.

“Do you say that you'll free me and other people if I tell the truth?” I asked emotionally.

" Yes, I'll definitely convince the alpha if you can tell me the truth,” he responded thoughtfully. 

I looked into Malachi's eyes and I could see sincerity in his face. I kept staring at him for a while without saying anything. 

“Please answer me if you have something to say or just let me go because I really have very important things to do,” Malachi said, and moved closer to the door. 

" Please hold on Malachi, I'll tell you” I pleaded and Malachi stopped for a while claiming to give me a last chance.

“Firstly, before I tell you everything, could you tell me what's about to happen?" I asked.

Malachi became provoked of my question and responded angrily. “Are you here to ask me a question or to tell me something?" 

"No, I'm sorry, I was just being curious and there's no one to ask in my situation. I really wish to tell you the truth but I want to find out if you can really be trusted first that's why I asked” I explained.

"Hmm,"  Malachi took a deep breath and went silent for a while. “What is it that you want to know?" Malachi asked. 

"All I want from you is to tell me what was about to happen. Why was everyone gathering, why did all the beta and lords are here. Was the alpha really mating with Mitchell? Why and what do you discuss with the alpha yesterday” I inquired. 

Malachi nodded, feeling frustrated by my question but was left with no choice than to answer my question so as to secure my trust. 

" Alpha Ashir  is mating with Mitchell today once the full moon arose. All the beta, the Lord's and alpha were all here carrying the alpha's other. Everyone will move to the shrine once the full moon arises to witness the alpha's mating and feed the traitors to the gods for sacrifice. Everything you have to do is to tell me the truth and I'll stop Alpha from splitting your blood” Malachi laminated. 

“Wow, how could this be?" I nodded with sadness taking over me. “Could the mating be stopped?" I inquired. 

" No that's impossible, that's the gods decision” Malachi responded. "So what is it that you wanted to say?” He asked.
