Chapter 77 - [Bonus Chapter] Birthday Party (2)

Jason sighed. 

It had taken him forever to get rid of the annoying witch from his side. Sashina was very persistent. It was starting to turn into obsession and not love. 

He was getting annoyed by her, he had made it abundantly clear that he had feelings for the crown prince and wasn't going to change his mind anytime soon. 

But the girl still chased after him, she was engaged to the ice prince and yet was still unsatisfied. Today was Davy's day so he set the thoughts of Sashina to the back of his mind and walked into the room. 

His eyes almost jumped out of his sockets at the scene that he walked into. The same expression was in Amberly's face, both were left stunned by the sight before them. 

"Davy," Jason cried out in shock. 

He strolled into the room and removed the crown prince from the man he was embracing. 

"What do you think that you are doing?" He asked Davy not even bothering to take note of the man he was with. He could careless if that was a king or a servant, the fact remained that Davion was crossing all his limits by hugging him. 

PAP!

Jason held his burning cheek with his mouth parted. His eyes were flabbergasted by the nerve of the crown prince to slap him. 

"Did you just slap me?"

PAP!

A loud ringing in his ear as his other cheek received the same attention. Davion grimaced at the sight of him, seeing Jason made him angry and more so the fact that Jason dared to come between him and his lover. 

"Get out," Davion demanded. "Both of you need to leave my room this instant," he barked in a threatening low tone. 

Amberly jumped startled. Things had gotten far out of hand, instead of getting the crown prince for herself, she pushed him further away from her and a complete stranger took the right from her. 

And to top things off, the crown prince was very mad at her for simply trying to tell him the truth. She bit her lower lip in frustration, the old woman was going to kill her for failing.

"Me? You are asking me to leave your room?" Jason inquired. He was still trying to process what had happened. The crown prince changed so suddenly. 

At the forest, Davion had expressed how much he loved and cherished him. The man rejected Aricus for him and promised him forever and yet only hours had passed and he seemed like a new man.

"No, I was to your shadow," Davion let out sarcastically. 

"I will leave," Aricus said and took a step towards the door. Davion held his hand and stopped him right before he walked passed Jason. 

"This is my room. I will decide who gets to stay and who leaves," the crown prince stated coming before the two men. "If I were to choose between the two of you. It's not a choice at all," he added. 

Jason sighed. The crown prince was simply playing a joke on him, it was a cruel joke but since it was his birthday he would let it slide. 

"Why do I need to choose between you two. Isn't is obvious that I like you better," Davion uttered to Aricus. 

Jason felt his breath getting heavy. He had always thought that he was strong, he thought that he could fight all the enemies for his love. But how was he supposed to fight Davion himself. 

"You stay, I will throw the gabbage out," Davion said. He turned his attention to Jason, the softness in his eyes withering. He took a step forward and stood face to face with him.

Jason looked into his eyes trying to find the man who confessed love to him some hours earlier but couldn't sight him anywhere in the cold eyes that faced him. 

"Davy, it's me Nedryn. You love me," he said. He grabbed hold of the crown prince's hand and held them in his. He looked into the prince's eyes hoping that the love flowing from his eyes would get the man off whatever spell Aricus must have put on him.

"I know who you are. That's why I hate you," Davion whispered to him. The crown prince took him by his hand and pulled him towards the door. 

Jason looked back at Aricus, he was the man that stole his happiness, yet there was no emotion in Aricus's face. He didn't look proud of what was going on, from Jason's understanding of the man, he was always proud of his victories. 

He always wore a devilish smirk on his lips with glowing eyes when he successfully went through with his plans. Yet he wasn't any of those things, he just stood there and watched the scene. 

Davion threw him out of the room to the ground. Jason raised his head to the prince, he watched the man drag an unwilling Amberly out of the room and throw him out to the floor beside him. 

"The next time that I catch either of you here, it will he the end of you," he challenged and locked the door. 

"That was supposed to be me. I was the one he was supposed to fight for," Amberly uttered in irritation. "I am the one who dragged him so how come I ended up outside," she kicked the door. 

She turned around and caught an angry Jason staring at him. He recalled her last words before she left his side. The crown prince wouldn't even open his gifts if he didn't send it with her. 

Only the prince didn't even give him the chance because he seemed to he a different person. "What did you do to him?" Jason asked.

Amberly found it hard to breath. Jason was boiling her blood unknowingly in his angry state, after all that he had been through, he only wished for a peaceful night to celebrate his beloved's birthday but that too was denied him so harshly. 

"I will end you right here if you don't answer me," he intimidated her. The girl backed away to the wall. Her heart was like a balloon ready to pop at any minute. 

She had still not gotten over the fear that Davion instilled in her and there she was faced with another scary side of Jason she had never thought existed. 

The man appeared weak and was easily pushed around. So she made the mistake of underestimating him too much. 

She narrated everything that had happened and how the love potion she gave the prince worked. Excluding the part of the old woman. She was cornered but not stupid, telling on the old woman was asking for a slow and painful death in the palace. 

Jason was tongue tied, he was right about Aricus. This was not his plan. But that still didn't change the fact that Amberly's evil intentions worked in the man's favour. 

The love potion mixed with the past that Davion and Aricus shared, he felt a headache coming on just thinking on how he was going to break the crown prince's enchantment. 

"As long as the prince has no feelings for him. We can break the enchantment," the princess spoke out. 

"What if he does?" Jason asked to get the full information on what he was dealing with. 

"Then it won't just act to make Davion believe that he loves him. It would act as a means to sire Davion to him," Amberly said. "Thankfully he looked at that man and not you. Now we just have to break the illusion," she added. 

Jason was lost in thoughts. He had read so much of sire bonds to know how they worked. And he couldn't know for sure if the crown prince liked the man or not. 

His head was beginning to hurt. The night that once promised happiness brought him nothing but pain and misery. He had come to a conclusion that the author truly hated him. 

Nothing was going right and he had just lost Davion once again only this time it might be forever. Forever was a long time, one that he didn't think he could handle while watching the prince be with someone else. 

"Are you listening to me?" Amberly asked. 

But Jason was long gone to hear him. His thoughts went back to the forest, cherishing the moment that he had won against Sashina's schemes and got the prince back. 

At that moment he had underestimated the power of his enemies. He let his guard down after one victory and lost the war. 

"If we hope to succeed, we must try to use the prince's love for you. I am not proud to suggest this but it is our only option," she said to him. 

Jason reached his hand out, hoping that Davion would take and come to him.. Tell him that he didn't mean to hurt him and that he was the one he loved more than anything else.
