The incredulity feast

The day is fading away and It was eventide already, the castle was getting filled up with numerous royal souls who came to the Queen’s feast.

Amidst this, Jeffery could see be seen laying on the filthy floors of the dungeon. His body was shivering slightly, and at the time he felt the immense hotness flush in through his skin.

Lowly, he let out a deep groan, angusihly his teeth gritted when his head was being seethed by margarine.


"He's awake!" A familiar voice said and Jeffery quickly snapped his eyes open.

At first the view was blurry, he could see a figure beside him in the dungeon. Then, his eyes became unhurriedly clearer when he saw two figures instead.

"Noah," he called, groaningly.

His eyes shifted towards the young lady who crouched beside his nephew, they were both clothed in ragged clothes which rarely conceal their bareness.

"Penelope," he called her and she nods, face cringing in concern.

—She was his mistress in his pack before he was mated to Henrietta, his wife, his mate.

"Alpha, we were extremely worried about you. What happened to you?" She sadly asked him. Her hands held out to his shoulders as she strongly assisted him to seat properly.

Jeffrey was voiceless as he rested his head on the wall, his dark blue eyes shut down back in pain as he struggled to overcome the heavy discomforts in his head.

"Your not blind, Mistress. You can see how weak he is, and the bruises on his body," Noah argued and Penelope snapped her head at him, her eyes rolled in resentment as she faced the Alpha again.

“You need to rest, you are still weak," she urges, hoping he would listen to her but she could tell that the Alpha slave was kind of lost in his world.

"Have you seen my wife?" Jeffrey somewhat asked, he looked at them expectantly for an answer.

Noah and Penelope both souls shared a nervous look, and then let out a deep sigh.

"No, we haven't," Penelope muttered, her lips twitched.

"After cresent pack was been raided, we didn't catch sight of you either did we discern Luna Henrietta. All I knew was... We were forcefully brought here in Denmark kingdom and we were taken to the mine to work. We were coerced to join the other slaves. Later on, we were both brought back to the dungeon last night. Although, when we were brought in here, we saw you laying lifelessly," Noah explained and Jeffrey coughed, his fists clinching for the umpteenth time.

"But you must know something, Alpha Jeffery," Penelope piped in, she sounded serious and that elicited Jeffery to wave his eyes towards her.

"I'm not an Alpha king, Penelope. I'm a slave like you, we all are slaves here,” he informed.

"Don't tell me your easily taking defeat into accepting who your not, huh? Your not a slave!” Penelope growls, she's evidently irritated at his blatant words.

"I no choice," Jeffery shrugged and Penelope scoffed.

She hated how weak he was sounding right now, this is the least she expected from him. He wasn't like this before, she had known him to be the most audacious and valiant Alpha king.

"Uncle, please you are not a slave,” Noah whispered.

Jeffery glanced at him expressionlessly and then, back to Penelope who stifled her face.

"You wanted to say something," he reminded her.

“Yes.” Penelope nods. "I don't know, I can't tell, but I have this feeling that Beta Kappa sold us out to the queen," she revealed to him.

A cold sensation gushed through Jasper's spine, followed by a dead silence —his face furrowing instantly in confusion as he gazed keenly at her.

Meanwhile, Noah enhanced a barren face as if he wasn't affected by her disclosure. "I'm not surprised if he appears to be one, I have always known him to be a crook," he murmured under his breath but they certainly heard him.

"W-what? B-but I know Beta Kappa to be a nice man, he wouldn't have done such thing to us... to me,” Jeffery said unbelievably.

Never. He would never believe their words. Beta Kappa has been his Beta ever since his father died, he has always exhibited a true color and is a good man.

“How then could the human queen be able to defeat an Alpha like you? I'm sure something oblivious ensued in our kingdom before the attack,” Noah speculated.

"What Noah said is right, Alpha. And you don't read a book by its cover, not every soul is how they seem to be. Don't forget so suddenly that Beta Kappa has mated to Lilith; Queen Isle's aunty. Who knows, she might have persuaded Beta Kappa into fish you out to her niece, no one can ever tell, Alpha,” Penelope told, and Jeffery snorted with a fumed mouth.

Everything is just crammed up, he doesn't know what to think or do at all! His heavy mind is extremely crowded!!

Momentarily, three guards appear in the dungeon. Quickly, they unlocked the metal door which prompted the people in the dungeon to gaze confusedly at what was happening.

"Stand up!" One of the guards yelled and they stood, slowly.

Hurriedly, they were being dragged out of the dungeon-like animals as they left the filthy spot.

"Who could believe it, a king is now a slave," one of the guards taunted and they all roared into a peal of laughter.

Jeffery remained collected, his steps screaming that of nobility and majesty. Even if he was stripped of his title, who he was will never depart from him.

“An Alpha for that matter,” Another intently teased further.

Meanwhile, Penelope and Noah grit their teeth inwardly, fuming in bitterness as they felt the need to battle back.

However, a look from Jasper curtailed them from making a drastic action as they got outside the ballroom hall.

Audibly, they could hear boisterous laughter, mellifluous music, and screams of contentment resonating from the inside.

"You all wait here for the Queen," one of the guards told and they loitered patiently.

While the tremendous feast was already going on in the ballroom hall, Queen Isle stood inside her room as she was being decked out gracefully by the servants.

Meanwhile, Shawn stood close to the door and in his hands, he held electrifying collars of the slaves.

"Be quick about this!" Queen Isle barked at the servants.

The venom of anticipation and intention were inwardly eating her up as she just couldn't wait any longer to go to the throne hall —Tonight indeed would be the most significant night ever to be forgotten in history.

"Y-yes, my queen!" The servants' shuttered as they piled up the last strands of her lengthy black hair which was tempting to pull out.

—Everything about the queen must be incredibly perfect, it must be flawless and not be a blunder. Eventually, Queen Isle was equipped and she left the room after taking her royal seal from the table.

Although, the feast wouldn't be a long one as she had to make certain that she goes the temple tonight as usual right after the feast.

"Where is Henrietta?" Queen Isle asked as they marched towards the throne hall.

"She's in the ballroom as you have instructed the guards," Shawn replied and she nods.

"Has my siblings arrived, yet?"

"No, my queen,"

"Hm," she hummed as they walked on. Shortly, after they got to the ballroom hall as they came upon Jeffery and his two associates.

Three guards stationed behind them. Hesitantly, they all bowed down to her and she smiled, pridefully.

Immediately, the guards behind them clutched Jeffery, Noah, and Penelope strongly. Hence, Shawn walked closer to them as he wore the electrifying collars around their necks between reluctantly grunts and struggles.

"Good!" Queen Isle compliments while watching the sight.

She glances maliciously at Jeffery who glared back at her, she knew he definitely didn't see that barrage coming towards her as she took a step further and landed him a deafening slap.

"Jeffery!" Penelope screamed in panic, and Queen Isle unexpectedly punched her mouth which sent the poor lady to the grounds.

“Curse you,” Queen Isle muttered at her.

Recklessly, the guards dragged Penelope up again. She coughed as she felt something metallic on her lips, blood.

Noah stood frighteningly, he snarled inwardly at the Queen while wishing he could fight back at her but then, he's no way stronger than the Queen.

—The one rumored to have slaughtered thousands of men, women, and children in one moment. He's like a pawn in her palm, she'd shred his heart with her solitary finger.

"Take them inside!" Queen Isle barked, and the large door of the ballroom hall was pushed open as the slaves were hauled inside.

Queen Isle turned over to Shawn who was standing behind her, she let out a scoff before penetrating into the ballroom majestically while he follows.

Every speck in the ballroom quites down, no music, no laughter as everyone watched the queen sauntered to her specified throne. Her lips fiddled a smile as she spared none a glance, her hand clenched her seal strongly as she got to her golden throne and sat down gently.

Meanwhile, Jeffery and his companions were rudely nudged to the grounds —all piercing stares on them.

Jeffery lifts his face, his long hair flooding his left eye as he slowly takes in the faces of the five kings and their wives.

No sympathy either remorse was evident on their faces except for King Maddox, the king of Valour which was the vampire kingdom.

He looked ashamed, indeed they were good friends ever since birth. The kingdom of Valor and Crescent kingdom were the vivid souls who made the six kingdoms reunite in one stance.

However, presently, the other kingdoms are against him for a mistake he never did deliberately.

Gradually, he pulled his head to the other edge of the throne hall and that was when he caught a glimpse of his... Beta!!

Beta Kappa stood with a straight face alongside his mate, Isle's aunty —Penelope's words were true, Beta Kappa fished him out, Beta Kappa made a treacherous act!

Why?! Why would he do such?!!

Jeffrey’s heart was bottled up, his body vibrated in anger and his raw pains were immeasurable. His heart seethed burningly by what he saw just now and he was stiffened by heavy shocks.

Why did Beta Kappa do this to him?!!

Queen Isle saw all Jeffrey's wounded and hurtful expression, and that made her smile satisfactorily.

At that moment, Jeffery was still in self-wallowing and shadow when Henrietta was brought in by the guards, she was forcefully made to spread on the golden altar in the middle of the ballroom hall.

"Henrietta!" Jeffery called aloud in shock.

His bitter blue eyes bleed as he beholds his wife spreading vulnerably with tears on the golden altar. Without a second, he sprang quickly as he made to dash at her but he was being clutched by the guards.

At an intersection in the ballroom hall, Lady Macbeth could be seen, keenly watching the scenery, and was in deep anticipation of what would happen.

"Don't make a move, slave!” Queen Isle warned and Jeffrey growls with his eyes on his wife.

He swiftly snapped his face at Queen Isle as he felt the need to attack her but the guards were strongly grasping him back.

"Good evening, Prominent kings, and my noble Queens... You'll welcome to this honorable feast!” Queen Isle greeted with a pleasurable smile as she bowed courteously, and the other royalties likewise reciprocated with gracious bows.

"I'm extremely happy to see you'll here. Honestly, you'll don't know how pleased I am. Well, I wouldn't like to take much of your moment. So, I will like Jeffery and his wife to entertain us first," She said further, and that perks everyone's ears and all eyes widened in tension.

Unsettled feelings, and intense anticipation arose in storms around the room.

Jeffery simply watched Isle. For the first time in his life, he felt like shedding tears, real raw tears but he couldn't —He's got to be strong, he was an Alpha king and not a weakling.

"...Henrietta will get sexually laid by her husband, my Alpha slave, my property! Right here, and right now in this very ballroom hall," she added, emotionlessly.

"What?!”Penelope shrieked unknowingly at the impossible and absurd request of the Queen.

“Oh, gracious heavens!!” Lady Macbeth gasped incredulously from where she stood as the ballroom flowed into astonishing wild gasps.
