ARTHUR'S POV.

I remained calm, my face showing no expression as I darted my eyes between the stranger and Lady Eleanor.

Lady Eleanor's lips into a satisfied smile as she turned to the stranger, nodding her head in approval.

“Jennifer adopted Ava when she was little, she kept Ava despite knowing what would happen if people found out…” Lady Eleanor interrupted the man.

“She knew of the consequences, yet she did it, that only shows that I was right, Jennifer is not to be trusted.”

I remained silent, my fists clenched tightly, Mt piercing glare still on the man.

“Arthur,” Lady Eleanor called softly, holding my hands. “I know you are shocked, but I was shocked too, I didn't expect her to be not only evil but she was impure…a curse to the throne.”

“Who is this man?” I demanded, turning my eyes to Lady Eleanor.

*Does it matter?” She frowned. “What matters is that he has been working for me for years and he has always been a reliable source.”

“Always at your service,” he said, bowing.

The moon cast a faint light through the trees, owls heard in the distance Ahead, she could see the cave. She took in deep breaths, looking around to make sure no one was following her. As Elena stepped closer, she could feel someone was watching from the shadows. This forest was known as a dark forest, and this was the only place the black witch and Oliver could run to after Arthur invaded their home. She got to the cave, the flickering lights of the touches placed firmly on the rock, this was no ordinary cave. She stopped at the entrance, but there was no turning back now. Taking a deep breath, she stepped inside.The witch stood in the center of the cave, her cold eyes turning to Elena the moment she entered. “You shouldn’t have come here,” the witch said, her voice filled with venom. Elena opened her mouth to speak, but before she could, the witch

    Ava’s POVThe castle corridors were eerily quiet as I walked toward Lady Eleanor's quarters. The cold air brushed through my face. My mind is clouded with unsettling thoughts wondering what Lady Eleanor has laid down for me. Everyone was really worried, Lady Eleanor was a woman everyone knew no one dared, I was just a nobody, unworthy to stand close to her. I had been summoned to an elders' meeting, but there was something I needed to address first.It was better to lessen Lady Eleanor's anger before standing before the court. As I turned the corner, her maid appeared at the other end of the hallway. Her face was pale. “Hey,” I stopped her. “Where is Lady Eleanor?”“She is in her room,” she replied, her head down to the floor. “Can you take me there?” The girl paused, biting her lips, darting her eyes left and right as though she was confused. “Is there a problem?” I questioned, my brows furrowed in curiosity as I studied her. “Lady Eleanor said that she doesn't want anyone t

Hope she wasn't here to cause trouble.My mother has completely changed, it was like all she wanted was to evict Lady Eleanor and she was using me. I walked into the room, sighting my mother sitting down on a sofa, sipping her tea, she turned to me. “Mother,” I called, walking closer to her. “What are you doing here?”She glanced behind me, as though expecting someone else…of course she was expecting Arthur to come along too. “Why isn't Arthur with you?” She asked, dropping the tea cup on the table. “He is busy,” I frowned, folding my hands under my breasts. “Why do you want to see him?”“Why do I feel like you are not happy to see me?” She asked, a faint smile playing on her lips. “Of course, I am happy to see my mother,” I defended. “But I am not happy to see the new you.”“The new me?”I nodded, taking in deep breaths. “Mum you have changed, what happene

    Ava’s POVI stormed out of the room, my fists clenched in anger. I have heard enough of this, if my mother wanted to get revenge then it is best she does it by herself.“Ava! Wait!” she called. Her hurried footsteps grew louder, but I didn’t slow down.Why was it always this way with her? Why couldn’t she ever trust me to make my own decisions? I’d barely made it halfway down the corridor when her hand grabbed my arm, stopping me in my tracks.“Ava,” she said, her tone pleading. “Please, listen to me.”I spun around, jerking her hand off as I glared up at her. “Listen to you? That’s all I ever do, Mother! And where has it gotten me?” My voice trembled with anger.“Ava, listen to me, have I ever done anything to put you in danger?” She asked. I scoffed, shaking my head in disbelief, tears flowing down my cheeks. “Then why start now?” I asked, tears choking most of the words in my throat. “I am not using you to get revenge, Ava,” she explained. ““Please,” I pleaded. “Just leave mum,

I couldn’t breathe, fear rushing through my veins and my mind spun with terrifying thoughts.How did Lady Eleanor even know that I was an impure wolf? Who would have told her? Elena, could she be the one?“How…how did she find out?” Amelia’s voice broke through my panic. She was staring at me, her eyes wide with disbelief.“I…I don’t know,” I stammered, my voice trembling. My legs felt weak, and tears streamed down my cheeks as I tried to make sense of what was happening.“Come on,” Amelia said, grabbing my arm firmly. “We need to follow Arthur.”I let her drag me along, my feet failing me. My mind was filled with fear and confusion. When we reached Lady Eleanor’s room, The door was open, but the room was empty.“She’s not here,” Amelia muttered, glancing around nervously.Before I could say anything, Charles appeared, panting as he ran toward us.“Arthur,” he said, darting his eyes

    Arthur's POVI took Ava into our room, her sobs increasing as she clung to me. I could feel her trembling, her body filled with fear. I closed the door behind us, locking it so we could be alone. My mind was drawing a blank, I didn't know the next step to take. It felt like I was betraying her. Who would have thought that people would sniff Ava's impurity this soon?I took a deep breath, turning to face her. “Ava,” I said softly, lifting her chin so that her tear-streaked face met mine. “I promise you, everything is going to be okay. I will protect you. I won’t let anyone hurt you.”Her eyes were filled with doubt, and she shook her head, her chest heaving as she cried harder. “You don’t understand, Arthur,” she cried. “Even if you save me this time… even if you can stop them… the truth is out now. It will never go away. The pack will always see me as an impure wolf. I’ll never be safe. And neither will you,” she paused, pushing me away. “I shouldn't have married you, I shouldn't h

    Ava's POVI was sitting across from Anna in the small shop we always went to when we needed to talk. The evening sun filtered through the windows, casting long shadows on the table, Anna’s sharp, questioning gaze pierced me.“Wow,* she suddenly blurted out, taking a sip of her milkshake. “I have no idea what to do now,” I shrugged, playing with my straw. “I am as confused as hell, my mother thinks it is my fault, I should have killed Lady Eleanor out of the palace.” “It’s not too late, Ava. You can still run. Just leave Arthur, the pack, all of it.”I scoffed, my face flickered to disbelief. “Do you think I need someone to tell me to run before I do that? I have been running for years.”“Then why are you crawling? You should have run by now.”“I can't,” I said taking in deep breaths, my vision slowly narrowing into a pinprick. “If I run now, their suspicion would only increase.”“Well, if they find out, it is more disastrous than when they find out that you were held.”My eyes slow

    AVA'S POV. I sat in front of the mirror, staring at myself, my face etched with anger as I rubbed my belly. I still can't believe I have only three days to live. I exhaled deeply, wiping the teardrop that escaped my eyes. Who was I kidding? I had no idea what to do and I don't want to die either. I looked back at the bed, the memory of the night that Arthur raped me flooded back. What exactly was the moon goddess thinking when she made me his mate? Didn't she know of the rules? Now, the tears were flowing down freely, this might be their last time too, my eyes scanning the room slowly until I sighted my phone. Maybe Anna was right, it's not too late to run away, with the perfect connection, my mother can hide me for at least twenty years, that's more than enough time to do what I want. The door creaked open, and Arthur peeped into the room like he was trying to catch me in an act, my brows furrowed in anger as I turned to him. “I really do feel sorry for our child,” he smiled,

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.

    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

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

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
