Chapter 140
Malachi's POV :
I was amazed to hear about the powerful secrets held in the book of revelation and the sword of truth. Even though I had doubts about their existence at first, Jameson's sincere revelations convinced me otherwise. I was really excited as Jameson revealed such important information. “I must get this first and kill you before anyone does" I said to myself thoughtfully. After a while in silence, my mind was consumed by thoughts of acquiring these artifacts, so much so that I was eager to leave the discussion room and make plans to obtain them.
Jameson was so curious about my sudden silence, he looked at me emotionally which got me worried at first but later got rid of my worriedness. “Jameson was the kind who would have betrayed me if he got the chance. He would have never supported me "I thought to myself feeling frustrated and getting more tired of the conversation.
“Anything wrong?" Jameson asked worriedly.
“No, nothing" I said nodding my head and prepared to leave. Just as I was about to inform Jameson of my intention of leaving, a soldier arrived to urgently summon me to the Alpha.
“I have to go now Jameson" I altered and turned to leave immediately. Just as I turned to leave I was Overwhelmed by Jameson's haste, I swiftly left the room without a second thought.
“Oh, are you leaving just like that, how could you leave without setting me and the others free" Jameson shouted.
"Oh really, have you forgotten your place, why do you have to shout at me?" I responded feeling frustrated by his reaction.
“Wow you must be kidding, that's impossible after telling you the truth" Jameson laminated, struggling to get closer to me due to his leg chain. I became so angry for his embarrassment and letting him know of my plans to conquer the entire werewolf and his influence in supporting my plan. Jameson was very sad about this and he couldn't hold his anger. He screamed my name angrily calling me a traitor which caughts everyone's attention.
Jameson's reaction to my sudden departure was one of shock and anger, I tried to compose myself as we got to the open air lies the beta and other pack members. Unfazed by his accusations, I disregarded his words, knowing his fate was sealed as death and nothing could change it.
I called for the soldiers to take Jameson back to his place to meet with the other traitors, ignoring his screams for help. As I watched him being dragged away, I thought to myself, "Go to hell, Jameson."
Upon stepping outside, I saw all the Beta, and some members of the pack gathered with the elders, all prepared for the Alpha's mating. The priest stood ready in his ceremonial attire, while the traitors remained bound and bloodied, pleading for mercy. I turned back to see Jameson bonded tightly with the chain on the chair and he was all looking merciful with all the people staring at him. His name as a traitor was whispering all through the entire pack.
After scanning around looking for the alpha's whereabouts, I noticed that he wasn't among the people standing. The alpha and his Luna should be at the front. “What's going on? '' I thought to myself wondering and asked for the soldier who summoned me to erase my confusion. The soldier informed me that Alpha was waiting for me in his room. I became so confused upon hearing and quickly went to meet the Alpha in his room. Upon going, some people were asking me about the alpha's whereabouts which got me worried. I also saw Mitchell standing and looked really worried, I moved closer to him and asked why she looked worried. Mitchell explained to me that the alpha insisted on seeing anyone. My worriedness became more as I learned about the alpha sudden mood. I knocked on the alpha’s room to find out about what's going on.
"Hey, it's me, Alpha. I heard you summoned me," I said softly after knocking on the door.
The alpha quickly opened the door as he heard my voice. I met the alpha so depressed and heartbroken.
“What's going on Alpha, why do you look so depressed" I laminated.
“Depressed…. ?" The Alpha altered emotionally.
"Yes you looked so horrified” I responded.
“Horrified!Why wouldn't I? I felt so scared" Apla Ashir said.
"Don't be scared Alpha, you really have to do this. Only this could we leave in peace” I encourage.
"Hmm okay” the Alpha nodded and looked a bit realved.
“Where have you been, how could you keep me waiting so long?" Alpha Ashir asked, looking so worried.
"I'm sorry alpha, I wouldn't dare to keep you waiting. I was stocked with Lord Jameson's discussion just as I entered the castle” I explained.
"What… are you still talking with the traitor?" Alpha Ashir said angrily upon hearing Jameson's name.
“No alpha I was left with no choice than to listing to him at least he was once your brother"
“Oh, so you went to him? What is he saying?"
“Jameson wanted me to betray you, he asked me to kill you and promised to take me to where he kept the secret magic book he planned to use to conquer the throne from you. He promised to make me his head counselor if I can support him to the throne.” I explained.
“Oh really, Jameson really said this?" Alpha ashir altered feeling so sad of his brother's betrayal.
“Yes, he swore to kill you, not you alone but everyone who supported you” I explained.
Alpha Ashir became tempered upon hearing this and swore to see his brother hang on the cross. I agree with him and remind him that everyone is waiting for him. Few minutes later, Smith came inside to inform him that all the elders were summoning him. Ashir quickly dressed up and Smith opened the door. All soldiers were all set at the door and all cleared the road as Smith opened the door.
Thank you for being by my side," Alpha Ashir expressed gratefully as we left the room. I nodded in response and walked alongside him.
Mitchell also stood beside us as the priest guided us to the shrine. The alpha and his Luna sat in a carrier, carried by slaves, while he ordered soldiers to escort the traitors, including Jameson, who tried to speak with him but received no attention.
As Alpha Ashir sat in his carriage, escorted by the beta and soldiers, all the pack members gathered outside the castle for the journey to the shrine.
Jameson showed strong emotions as he began to sing about the revelation of Adara's song: “Moon goddess, come and free us from slavery; Mesire, deliver us from tyranny; Adara, powerful moon goddess, you are our only hope.
