Ava’s POV

I clutched Arthur to my chest, screaming, his eyes shut tightly. I couldn’t stop crying, my tears soaking his bloodied shirt.

“Arthur, wake up. Please wake up,” I cried, shaking him gently, desperate to see his golden eyes again.

“Get away from him,” Elena snapped, shoving me to the ground as she held Arthur in her hands, tears flowing down her cheeks. “This is your fault,” she snapped.

“No,” I screamed, pulling my hair. “This isn't my fault, please don't let him die.”

I crawled back to his side, my fingers trembling as reached for the dagger in his chest.

“I need to get it out,” I whispered, reaching for the blade.

Elena grabbed my wrist, her grip firm. “No, Wolfsbane is coating that dagger. If you pull it out now, it will kill him before we can even try to save him,” she warned.

The world around me was blurry as tears clouded my vision, the sentinels lifted Arthur carefully, rushing him toward a waiting car. I stumbled to my feet, trying to follow, but Elena blocked me.

  • The Devil Alpha And I    Chapter 24

    AVA'S POV.My mother scoffed loudly, folding her hands under her breasts, her eyes filled with venom. “You will not take my daughter,” she declared. Her piercing gaze moved between the sentinels daring them to defy her. “Ava is not responsible for what happened to Arthur.”The leader of the sentinels, a man with a deep scar running from his temple to his jaw stepped forward. “Ma’am, our orders are clear,” he revealed. “We are to bring her in.”Anna stepped forward. “This is madness,” she said. “Ava is also a victim, she was kidnapped for fucking sake, you have the right to blame her, she was kidnapped in his mansion, don't you have some shame, this is the pack's fault why blame it on her?” She snapped. The sentinel exhaled deeply, his eyes slowly darting to me as we locked eyes. “We don’t question orders,” he said, his voice heavy. “We follow them, I'm sorry ma'am,” he said with a bow. My mother moved in between us. “Who ordered for her arrest?” She demanded. “Lady Eleanor,” they

  • The Devil Alpha And I    Chapter 25

    ARTHUR'S POV. I woke up with an excruciating pain from my chest but after some minutes, I was not sure if the pain was the one that woke me up or the noise coming from outside. The doctors were peeping out the window like thieves breaking into a house, they were so focused on what was happening outside that they didn't know when I woke up or got up from the bed. My hand ran through my left breast, where I had been stabbed, a faint smile playing on my lips as I remembered how Ava screamed for me to wake up. I was conscious at that moment but was too weak to respond, I also thought that would be the last day of my life. I was filled with regrets at that moment when Ava was crying over my head. I fell in love for the first time in my life and I was leaving without saying a proper goodbye. The moon goddess must have given me another chance, I wasn't going to waste such an opportunity. My eyes slowly darted to the dagger Oliver stabbed me with, my fists clenched in anger. The momen

    Ava's POVThe hospital room was quiet except for the steady beeping of machines, the reporters had disappeared and Arthur asked the elders to take Lady Eleanor back to the mansion before she made more trouble. I was still badly injured and Arthur had noticed that, he insisted I stay to be treated here. This hospital was the best hospital around, it belonged to his family. I lay on the bed, feeling weak as I rubbed my belly softly. Arthur sat beside me, his eyes full of worry even though he tried to smile.“You need to rest,” he said, brushing a strand of hair away from my face.I smiled back at him. “I will. But only because you are here with me.”Before I could say more, my mother burst into the room. Her face was a mix of relief, She glanced between Arthur and me. “The doctor said that Ava can go home now,* she blurted out. “Ava isn't going home until she is completely treated Jennifer,” Arthur said, his voice filled with authority. “I am her mother and I know what is best for

  • The Devil Alpha And I    Chapter 27

    Arthur’s POVI drove with speed to the cliff where Ava was kidnapped or where Oliver was supposed to have died, the ride seemed longer than it usually was. My grip on the steering wheel tightened as my mind raced. Oliver was alive…that much I now knew…and now I can't help but wonder how he survived. Who helped him?That bastard should have just stayed dead, was he a curse by the moon goddess to punish my father for his infidelity?I swear I would not spare Oliver this time, as kids I promised my father that I would treat Oliver like a brother since he was still my father's son but right now, I am ready to break ten thousand rules and promises to kill Oliver, even though I am not the type to go back on my words. Beside me, Charles sat quietly but it was obvious he was scared. “Slow down Arthur,” he shouted. “We want Oliver dead, not us.”I turned to the side mirror, there was a car speeding right behind us, and my lips curled into a faint smile.I increased my speed, and the car be

    Author’s POVElena’s heels were heard clicking in the hallway, dressed in a short skirt and a revealing blouse, a designer bag in one hand and the other holding a phone.A faint smile played on her lips as she read through the messages, then she dialed a number. “I will be there soon, make sure the job is done before I come,” she said, cutting the phone call.A young maid walked up to her, her hands clasped nervously. “Lady Elena,” she said, her voice shaky. “Lady Eleanor has requested your presence.”Elena’s jaw tightened, and she looked up from her phone, irritation flickering in her gaze. “Now?” she asked. The maid nodded. “Yes, my lady. She said it’s urgent.”With a sigh, Elena slipped her phone into her bag. “Fine,” she muttered, walking past the maid.She walked to Lady Eleanor's room, which was a bit far from the place she was going. As soon as she got to the room, the sentinels at the door opened the door for her and slammed the door shut immediately after she walked in. “

    Arthur's POVI sat quietly in Elena's house, all the lights turned off, Elena wasn't in the palace after the incident…which was something that was unusual, she was always around me. The door creaked open, and I heard her heels clicking on the floor as She stepped in, dropping her bag by the door and flipping on the lights. The moment her eyes landed on me, she jumped, clutching her chest.“Arthur,” she shouted, startled. “What are you doing here?” she asked, clutching her chest. “You scared me.”I stood slowly. “I have been waiting for you, where were you?”She scoffed, removing her heels and holding them in her hands. “Since when have you been bothered about my whereabouts?”“I heard you left the palace this morning, you didn't state where you were going.”“When did I start reporting my next move to you or anyone,” she snapped, pushing me aside slightly. “Since when you went to a place that has no network connection.”She froze, turning to me. “My phone was in flight mode,” she stu

    Ava's pov.I waited in my room, nervously twisting my blanket’s edge between my fingers. Arthur had been gone for hours, and the silence around me felt suffocating. Each tick of the clock made my anxiety worse as I imagined all the terrible things Oliver might be planning or what Arthur might have discovered at the cliffs.The creak of the door broke my thoughts, and Arthur stepped in, he looked surprised to see me still awake.“Ava, why aren’t you sleeping? It’s late,” he said softly. “I couldn’t,” I replied, sitting up straighter. “I have been waiting for you. Did you find anything? Any sign of Oliver?”Arthur sighed, shutting the door and rubbing his neck. “No, nothing yet. But we are on it.”I frowned, letting out a sigh. “Arthur, my goodness, what will happen now? He would try to attack, "I paused, trying to take deep breaths. “How could anyone even survive that attack, how can anyone survive that, it's too far,” I said with a ragged breath, holding my head.

    Ava's pov. The scent of coffee filled the air as I stepped into the little café, Faint music playing in the background, as the people moved around. The wolves….witches and impure wolves weren't really common in public places. I walked to the counter, leaning on it as I waited for the waiter to attend to me. I ordered my usual type of coffee and found a seat near the window.As I wrapped my hands around the warm cup, my mind slowly drifted back to last night. A small smile tugged at my lips as I recalled last night. Arthur was completely different from what the rumors said, last night he held me in his arms like a child until I fell asleep. I was scared that I might have ended up with the devil but right now, I know that I have ended up with an angel and I could never be less proud to have him in my life.Maybe I had been too quick to judge him. The sound of the bell above the door brought me back to the present. I glanced up. It was my mother. Her eyes scanned the room, As soon

  • The Devil Alpha And I    Chapter 103

    Arthur’s POVHis lips curled into a faint smirk, almost mocking. I gritted my teeth, watching his every move, calculating the best place to strike.He towered over me, his muscles tight, red eyes glowing in the dark. His breath came out in slow, deep growls, like he was waiting for me to make a move.Something about him was wrong. And my devil Alpha sensed it. This was no wolf at all, it wasn't a myth like Amelia had suggested. Part of the advantage that comes with being a devil Alpha was the fact that you can sense who a person was, who his wolf was by just looking at him but he was different. I couldn't sense anything. Yet he was faster and stronger than me, another proof that he was a product of dark magic.“Who are you?” I growled, wiping the blood from my lip.The beast tilted his head, like he was amused. He didn’t answer, slowly he morphed into his half werewolf form but his face was still full. He was hiding his identity. “Are you scared?” He teased me. “Don't be, I won't k

    Arthur’s POVWe arrived at the bar, the smell of strong alcohol feeling the place. I scanned the room, men of different ages were seated in groups, drinking to their content, some already wasted. Garrick and I walked in, keeping our heads down, blending into the crowd. Some of the men glanced at us, their eyes locked on us, like a predator surveilling its prey.Garrick leaned toward me, his voice low. “Everyone here works for her. They call her their Queen. If they find out who we are, we won’t make it out.”I adjusted my hood, pulling it lower over my face. “Then you better be careful.”He nodded, leaning even closer. “That's the girl at the bar, she is our suspect.”“Are you sure?” I asked again. The last thing I wanted was for me to beat up the wrong person. “Definitely,” he said, his voice filled with confidence. “Wait for me outside,” I commanded. “Are you sure?*I turned my head to the side, he reluctantly nodded walking outside. I moved to the bar, where the woman was pou

  • The Devil Alpha And I    Chapter 101

    Arthur’s POVI gripped Ava’s wrist and pulled her through the hospital’s back exit, ignoring the flashing cameras and the shouted questions from the reporters. Her resistance was weak, probably from shock, but that didn't stop me from moving quickly."Arthur, please—" she started, her voice cracking."Not a word," I snapped, dragging her toward the waiting car. My jaw clenched so tightly it hurt.I had been furious before, but now? Now I was barely keeping myself from losing control. Ava actually tried to kill our child, without telling me, what on earth was she thinking?The drive back to the estate was silent, I kept glancing back at her, my fists clenched tightly, barely holding the urge to punch her right in the face. This was the third time she has done something so stupid and I wasn't going to take it again. Ava sat beside me, her hands trembling in her lap. Every few minutes, she would open her mouth as if to speak but then stop herself.The moment we arrived, I stepped out f

    Ava’s POVI sat in the hospital waiting room, tapping my fingers against my lap. My heart is hammering loudly in my chest. I was about to commit the first murder in my life and my child was the first victim.Amelia sat beside me, her arms crossed and her expression unreadable."Are you sure about this, Ava?" she asked for what felt like the hundredth time.I inhaled deeply. "Yes, Amelia. I’ve thought about it. It’s the only way."She turned to face me fully, her piercing gaze making me uncomfortable. "And what are you going to tell Arthur if he finds out? Do you realize that you want to kill the child of the devil Alpha, the next heir to the throne? I'm not sure death is enough punishment for you if they decide to punish you.”“Please don't make me look like a bad person,” I frowned. “I am doing this for everyone, do you think the child would be happy to know that he killed his father?”Before she could respond, the door swung open, and a doctor in his mid-fifties walked in, adjustin

    Ava’s POV“Luna Ava! Luna Ava!! Luna Ava!!!” I heard my name, but my brain wasn't registering the name. “Ava,” Miya touched me, gently. I jolted up, my eyes widened in fear as I scanned the environment. We were back at the Luna's estate already and I wasn't aware. “Are you alright ma'am,” the driver said, looking at me through the mirror. I turned to him, touching my flushed cheeks. I was so deep in thought that I didn't even realize when we left the palace or when we got to the Luna's house. I forced a smile, grabbing my purse. I turned to Miya. “Welcome back Miya.”She smiled faintly, as I pulled her out of the car. Miya’s small hand clung tightly to mine. She didn’t say much, but I could feel her curiosity as her wide eyes studied the large estate. Poor girl wouldn't be able to look at the estate without remembering the one who brought her up. But this was her home, she had to come back. “Ava!”I turned at the familiar voice.Amelia stood by the entrance, waving at us, she t

    Arthur’s POVElena ran as fast as she could, but I was faster. She tried to take the next turn but I caught up to her, grabbing her arm and spun her around. Before she could scream, I shoved her against the cold stone wall. The impact made her gasp, her wide eyes staring up at me in terror.“Elena,” I said, gripping her wrist tightly. “You’ve been avoiding me.”Her chest rose and fell quickly, panic making her breath shaky. “Let go of me Arthur,” she growled, her eyes filled with venom. I scoffed, leaning closer. “Haven't always wanted to be close to me?”“Not close to this beast, I know who you are,” she whispered.I tilted my head, smirking. “Do you?”Her lips trembled, but she didn’t look away. “I know you are fully synced with your devil Alpha now.”“I wasn't hiding that from you,” I shrugged. “How can I hide it from a seer, you must have seen it before it happened–” I paused studying her reaction. “You didn't see it, did you?”She swallowed hard, flickering her eyes away.

    AVA'S POVThe palace loomed before me, its towering spires stretching into the cloudy sky. As the car came to a halt in the grand courtyard, I let out a quiet sigh. I had much to do today, more than I was ready for.Arthur turned to me, his golden eyes scanning my face. “You seem stressed already,” he chuckled.I turned to him. I had completely forgotten that we were in the same car. “I have a lot on my mind,” I admitted, taking a deep breath.His lips curled into a small smirk. “Nothing you can’t handle.”He reached out, brushing a strand of hair behind my ear. It was a small gesture, but it sent a shiver down my spine. My lips curled into a small smile, as my mind slowly drifted to last night, my screams overshadowing my heartbeat as he banged me hard. If babies could keep their memories of when they were in the womb, my son will have a lot of complaints to make. And the dick poking part was one of many tales to be told, that's if the baby survives. “I’ll see you tonight,” he mu

    AVA'S POV. It has been three days since the incident happened, My mother was recovering quickly all thanks to Elizabeth. Everything was returning to normal, almost. Arthur has been acting strange lately. I actually liked the change but something about it made a cold shiver run down my spine each time I thought of it. Arthur has been present. He actually sleeps in the same room with me and sleeps on the same bed with me, I couldn't tell if he was doing it because he felt guilty for almost killing me or something had changed in him. But whatever it was, I wasn't comfortable with this change. I tried to see Elena to find out what she meant that the prophecy had changed but all my efforts to see proved futile, more like she was avoiding me. I leaned on the wall, staring at the moon, the cool night breeze brushing over my face, the faint howl of wolves heard in the distance. I inhaled deeply, crossing my hands under my breasts, letting my thoughts wander around Arthur, my hand plac

    Arthur’s POVA dull ache throbbed at the back of my skull as my eyes fluttered open. The ceiling above me was familiar. I was in my room. I turned my head, and the turn made me groan. Sleeping beside me, was Elena. Her long, dark hair fell over her face.“Elena?” I managed to mutter, my vision blurry due to the excruciating pain in my head. She shook slightly, her brows furrowing before her eyes snapped open. At first, she looked confused, but the moment she realized that I was awake, her lips curled into a faint smile, her face flickered to relief. “Arthur,” she said, her voice filled with tears. Before I could react, she threw her arms around my neck, her tears falling on my shoulder. “You are alive,” she cried. “I thought I killed you.”I hesitated, my hands hovering over her back before finally settling there. “I'm fine,” I chuckled but my voice was filled with pain.“Elena… What happened? Why am I here?”She pulled back just enough to meet my gaze, her lips pressing into a
