Jennifer’s POVJennifer’s heels made sharp sounds against the cold stone floor as she walked through the dark hallway of the mansion. The torches on the walls flickered, casting shadows that danced as she moved past them, the people walking beside her, murmuring among themselves. “How can she be so calm, our plans are failing, this is so frustrating, I can't believe I actually sided with her,” someone muttered, her voice low but loud enough for Jennifer to hear. Jennifer halted suddenly, turning to her with a cold glare. “What did you say?” She growled. Ever frozen, staggered backwards as Jennifer took a step closer. “I'm asking you what you just said,” Jennifer snapped. The lady flinched, her body shaking in fear. “Well, I was just worried about Arthur's appearance,” she stuttered. Jennifer's lips slowly curled into a smile. “Really?” She scoffed, holding the woman's head firmly. “Are you scared?”The woman swallowed hard, her heart beating loudly. “A little bit,” the woman st
Arthur’s POVI walked into my room, my head full of thoughts from the meeting. Ava was cradling the little boy in her hands, she quickly rushed to me. “I can never get used to knowing that you have lost your wolf,” she said, forcing a smile as she handed me the child. I chuckled. “At least I can hold my child now.”She nods her head quietly, her face flickering to a mixture of confusion and curiosity. “So what did they talk about in the meeting? Did you tell them?”“Tell me what? That I'm leaving?” I asked, rocking my son in my arms, admiring his tiny face. He reminded me of my grandfather. She swallowed hard. “Both, did you tell them that you are leaving?”I raised my eyes, locking eyes with her. “I didn't tell them…yet.”“Oh,” she muttered, looking disappointed. “Ava, I'm doing this for both of us,” I defended. She shook her head, turning back. "We're not leaving," she said firmly, turning back to me. “We can't.”I let out a slow breath, placing the child on the bed. "Ava—""N
Arthur’s POVDorian’s face was pale, his hands shaking as he grabbed my shoulder. "Arthur, we made a terrible mistake," he whispered, his voice filled with fear.A cold feeling settled in my stomach. "What do you mean?"Dorian took a deep breath and glanced over his shoulder as if expecting something to appear from the darkness. "The dark magic ritual… Something went wrong."I frowned. "What are you talking about? You said the ritual was safe, that everything went as planned."Dorian pressed his lips into a thin line and hesitated. "I thought it was," he admitted, guilt in his voice. “How bad is it?” I frowned. “Dorian,” Charles called from behind, his brows furrowed in curiosity. “What are you doing here?”Dorian turned to Charles, placing his hands in his pocket. “I think we are doomed.”“Doomed?” Amelia shouted from behind.Damn, where did they come from? Seems like there is no secret place in the Luna's house after the war. “What happened with the ritual?” She demanded. “Well,
Ava’s POVThe wooden door creaked open as I walked in, Elena sat near the fire, staring at the fire, clearly lost in thoughts. I took a deep breath and walked inside, I hadn’t seen her since she tried to kill me. Elena looked up when she heard me enter, her blue eyes filled with a mixture of shock and guilt. “Hi,” I smiled, stepping closer to her. “It's been long.”She smiled. “Almost four months.”I chuckled, nodding my head in agreement, my eyes scanning through the room. This was becoming awkward already. “So I heard you were the one taking care of Arthur when he was in coma, thank you very much.”“It was my fault anyway, so you don't need to be grateful,” she forced a smile, her voice laced with sadness. “So can I help you?”“We haven’t talked since…” I paused, unsure how to finish my sentence. “Since that night.”Elena sighed and turned away. “Ava… I was wrong.”“No,” I shook my head. “I really don't resent you for that.”“You have alright to,” she said calmly. “I would be ma
Ava’s POv. I turned around, my heart hammering loudly in my chest as I stared at the darkness. This wasn't what I was expecting. I was expecting a shiny room with people sitting down on golden chairs. “Hello,” I shouted, my voice echoing into the darkness. “Is anyone there?” I shouted again but all only my echoes responded back. Taking in deep breaths I decided to move around, it wasn't like I was seeing anything, suddenly a bright light shone in the distance.I swallowed hard, slowly moving towards the light. “Ava,” someone called. I froze, my heart racing as I slowly turned to the direction. A woman slowly walks out of the darkness, a bright smile playing on her lips. “Ava,” she called, reaching for me. I staggered backwards, my hands shaking. “Who are you?” I frowned, my breath heavy. “You have grown so much,” she smiled, trying to reach for me again, her voice filled with tears. “Don't you come close to me,” I snapped looking around wondering if I was in the wrong place.
Ava’s POV“What do you mean?” I frowned. “My son's birth was a mistake, there can't be a second devil Alpha but I brought one into the world, we can't afford a third,”She shrugged. “I have a theory that Arthur dismissed before he died or went into coma, however you call it, that your son is to bring a change to the system.”“I know that,” I frowned. “But what does that have to do with this situation on ground?”She scoffed with a shrug. “Arthur is one strong will bitch, he fought his way back, the moon goddess can't help us anymore Ava.”“What do you mean she can't help us?* I snapped. “This is totally her fault.”“Have you heard about cleansing?” She asked.I rolled my eyes, getting frustrated. “The moon goddess original goal is to cleanse this family, that's why she brought the second devil Alpha, and made the first devil Alpha protect him, but Arthur wouldn't just leave, so I guess she found a way to make sure he isn't the devil Alpha.”“By giving it to someone else?” I growled.“
Arthur’s POVThe heavy iron gates of Dorian’s palace opened widely as we walked in. I inhaled deeply stepping out of the car.Who would have thought I would move out of my palace to stay in Dorian's place? We didn't have a choice, Jennifer knows every nook and cranny of the palace and the Luna's estate making it easier for her to attack or sneak it. “I hate this,” Charles frowned, walking beside me. “We would never hear the end of this.”“Where is Elena?” Amelia asked, hanging her bag on her shoulder. “Didn't she come?”“Elena said she would meet us later, I don't know where she went,” Charles replied. “She must have quit, and I don't blame her for that, everyone is afraid of death,” Amelia muttered. I nodded in agreement. Before we came here, I revealed everything to my people including the fact that I have lost my wolf and this was a punishment from the moon goddess and we were all going to die, so many people left, only few insisted on waiting and fighting to death. “Hello bro
Ava’s POVI banged my fists on the table, glaring at my aunt. “Let me out,” I snapped.She ignored me like I was nothing. Who was this woman really? There is no way she is my aunt. “You don’t understand, Arthur needs me, you have to let me go,” I pleaded.My aunt stood near the fire, stirring something in a pot, she barely glanced at me. “No, child,” she said calmly. “Arthur made his choice, you must stay here.”I scoffed, tears glistening in my eyes. “Just let me go, I need to protect Arthur, it's my duty to protect him.”She lets out a frustrated sigh, turning to me. “Stop acting like a god, Ava, you are just an impure wolf, you should be lucky that you are even alive.”“Arthur needs me,” I insisted. “Would you take responsibility if anything happens to him, he needs me.”“He needs punishment,” she interrupted. I froze at her words. “You still see him as the man you love, don’t you? But you refuse to see who he was.”I shook my head, my voice cracking. “I know what you mean but
Arthur’s POVThe Devil Alpha lunged at me like I was some mortal enemy, I didn't even know when it jumped, it was too fast for my eyes to catch, one moment it was staring at me with those glowing red eyes and the next thing I knew it was a few inches away from me. It grabbed me, sinking its teeth inside my arm, I screamed in pain as blood gushed out and I could have sworn I heard my bones crushing under its grip. As if that wasn't enough it threw me away, slamming into a hard tree, I remained on the ground, clutching my shoulder, the pain was too much to process. The rest just stood there in fear watching everything as the beast slowly walked towards me as though trying to make its power known to me, and I would say it was working because my eyes rolled at the back of my head and I almost fainted but the pain glued my eyes open.The beast loomed over me, its fangs bared, hot breath washing over my face.“Guys do something,” Amelia shouted. Oh, now they want to do something.Charle
Arthur’s POVThe smell of old books and burning sage filled the air as the black witch was preparing the ritual, moving around a circle of black candles. Their flames flickered, making strange shadows dance on the walls. Amelia stood by the door, arms crossed on her chest, her eyes locked on the witch. Charles paced back and forth behind her, his frustration clear in the way he moved. Dorian sat on the edge of his desk, quiet for once, just watching.I walked over to Amelia, placing a hand on her shoulder, she flinched under my touch. “Are you okay?” She forced a smile and nodded.“Look I know you are scared, but I want you to know that I will protect you till my last breath, but it's not too late to back out, you deserve to be happy.”She chuckled. “I'm fine,” she said, forcing a smile. “I just have a lot in my mind.”I studied her for a while, my eyes flickering to her hands finding their way to her stomach, her eyes filled with tears. I knew about Charles and Amelia long ag
