His Hidden Child

Chapter Thirty Five: Side Story One (Jayden's Story)

(6 years ago)

We never truly understand what the heart desires until it plays on the decisions and choices we make.

I had a simple yet difficult goal.

And it was simply to help my blood related cousins get rid of their step brother for the throne.

And that's exactly what failed to happen when I laid eyes on her.

My cousin's mate.

The young girl, the daughter of common bakers, had become the soon to be Alpha kings mate. At first

she was just an obstacle that had gotten in my way to dispose of the dear cousin I had loathed. But

later on, as weeks passed by, she had slowly become the woman I desired and longed for. And my

eyes would follow her whenever she was near.

Isabella.

Sighing I couldn't help but bang my head on the table.

"Jayden, Abigail wishes to see you." David called out.

Nodding, I stood up from my chair and slapped a smile on my face making my way to the first queens

Chambers.

Knocking in the door, I waited for her to let me in.

Sindevaladore's mother, Abigail, seemed to had started loosing her head a bit after the king took in his

second chance mate. Sin was her only string of stable mentality that kept her together. Without him,

shed fall apart.

Hearing a slight 'come in' echo from behind the door, I pushed the door open making my way in.

She stood at the widow watering the flowers that were slowly withering away. Humming to herself I

tapped my foot impatiently, waiting for her to tend to me.

"Ah, Jayden, you're already here." She said noticing my presence.

I nodded hesitantly as she ushered me to take a seat. Pouring me a cup of coffee, I picked it up slowly

drinking it. She wanted something, that's the only reason she would ever call the likes of me.

"I see Ravecca is trying to establish a place in the family." She said with a smile, as she gripped the

cup tighter.

Who wouldn't?

"Yes, please don't mind her, after all the throne is Sindevaladore's." I said trying to ease her tension.

"Indeed it is." She said without restraint. "No matter what schemes you all put into play, I'll make sure

Sin sits in that throne." She said with a smile. Her words holding thorns.

I said nothing as I continued to drink the coffee that was slowly becoming cold.

She isn't to be taken lightly.

"What about Isabella? How is she?" She questioned looking into my eyes.

"Your highness, you should know better than anyone. She is your soon to be daughter in law." I smiled.

She laughed at my words. "Poor Leana. She had always stated by sins side hoping to be his mate, but

it seems, that spot was destined for someone else." She laughed, her words holding spite.

She turned to look at me with a smile. "What would Sin do when he realises how your eyes follow his

mate?"

I choked on the coffee that was in my mouth.

She handed me some tissues with a sincere look. "My, are you okay?" She mocked.

Nodding. I took the tissues wiping some of the spiller coffee.

"Please excuse me, your highness." I said as I stood up.

"There's no doubt about it that the two of you seem to have mutual feelings." She said as I turned my

back to her.

Mutual feelings? What a joke.

Ignoring her words I walked out,closing the door behind me. Abigail was a force to be reckoned with

and if we didn't watch our backs she was going to take her chance.

Sighing I walked down the hallway towards the stairs. I felt something bump into me, and slowly fall

back.

Instinctively I caught the person only to meet with her eyes.

"Jay!" She smiled brightly. I could slowly feel my heart wanting to thump.

"Isabella, how many times do I have to tell you to watch how and where you're walking." I scolded

playfully.

Laughing she balanced on her two feet, thanking me.

"Bell, can you listen to me?" Sin's voice echoed through as the smile on Isabella's face dropped.

"I don't want to hear it. If there was really nothing going on, why have you not kept your distance?" She

questioned.

She seemed to be upset about something as she quarrelled with Sin.

Catching up to her, he held her hand. Trying to get her to listen to him. He seemed distraught about

something. Was their relationship not going well?

"Let go of me Sin!" She said as she tried getting out of his hold.

Unknowingly, my hand had fallen on to Sin's in order to stop his hold.

He turned to me with furrowed eyebrows.

"What are you doing?" He questioned. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"She asked you to let go." I said firmly. I couldn't understand my interference.

Sin's alpha side dominated as his look turned dark, "She is MY mate." He said making me fall back as

he warned.

"Sin, enough." Isabella said as she rinbbed his shoulders calming him down. "Jay only intervened

cause it seemed as though you were hurting me." She defended

"I would never hurt my mate intentionally." He said looking at her.

Letting go of her hand, he headed upstairs in a bit of rage.

"I'm really sorry about that Jay." She apologized as she followed behind him.

She'd only had been able to say she was sorry because she couldn't see the look in his eyes.

Trembling slightly, I tried getting a hold of myself. No matter what I wanted, I couldn't challenge an

alpha. Especially for his mate.

I think I might be losing my mind as well.
