Ava’s POV

I stood frozen in place, my heart racing. Lady Eleanor had revealed my secret to the elders. 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,

    AUTHOR'S POV. I ran out of the room immediately, my heart hammering loudly in my chest, I swallowed hard leaning on the back of the door, closing my eyes for a brief moment. What was wrong with me? This was too early, this had never happened before…at least not until the full moon day. Ava opened the door immediately, I turned back, and my eyes widened in alarm as I stared at her frozen. She stared at me for a while, before reaching for my hand, a mixture of shock and curiosity etched on her face. “Arthur, what happened to you? Did you have a nightmare?”I remained silent, my mouth open slightly as I stared at her, my mind drawing a blank, I didn't want her to know the truth but how long could I keep my darkest secret from her?“Come,” she instructed, closing the door behind her. “Let's go for a walk.”“Why?” I suddenly asked, my deep voice sounding like a child. She turned to me, a faint smile playing on her lips. “Well, I also used to have nightmares growing up, Anna told me to

    ARTHUR'S POV. The days felt longer than ever, each one filled with fear, it seemed like time decided to move faster or skip a day. Today was the full moon, the day Ava’s fate would be decided. If she could change into her wolf form, she would survive. If not… I didn’t want to think about that.I paced the castle halls early in the morning, unable to sit still. I was really worried. Ava insisted that she wanted to prove herself to the pack but what exactly does she want to prove? That indeed she was an impure wolf or she cast a spell on me?Ava was just so stubborn, I still don't understand how I can't control her at all and why does she makes things difficult for me. My heart tells me that I fell in love with her because she was different but that is just nonsense…she clearly has a choice to save her life but no, she wants to probe herself. Fuck, at this point, I knew I was in for a big trouble. I looked at the palace walls, brushing my fingers on the wall lightly, memorizing tha

    ARTHUR'S POV. The full moon shone brightly through the high, narrow window of the dungeon, casting long shadows over the cold stone walls. I woke up with excruciating pain, it felt like my body was about to rip to pieces. It was my wolf, fighting to be free. I glanced around, but no one was there. Elena dared to attack me, has she gone mad too?I looked at the chains, trying to break free but I couldn't, I felt weak. Elena must have drugged me with wolfsbane, she knew it wouldn't kill me but a particular dosage was enough to weaken me…for a while. “Elena,” I yelled, my voice echoing in the dark chamber. Immediately the door creaked open and she walked in. She looked at me for a while. It was almost as though she was scared, well she should be, because immediately I got out of there, I swear I would teach her a lesson. “Arthur,” she said, walking closer but stopped just out of my reach. “What do you think you are doing?” I snapped, the chains clinking as I lunged forward. “You

    AVA'S POVThe night was cold and the wind made me shiver as the full moon shone brightly, the hoot of owls was heard in the distance and sometimes howls were also heard. The elders stood in a circle around me in the forest, their sharp eyes on me. My heart pounded so hard it felt like it would leap out of my chest. This was the moment of life and death, a small leap could lead me to my death and it could also save me. I took in deep breaths staring at the moon, my hand clutching my bulging stomach as I closed my eyes. “Moon goddess,” I whispered. “I have never doubted you in my life…you are a mother, please hear my cry and protect my child…that's all I ask.”“Ava,” I heard Anna's voice, I slowly opened my eyes, and she stared at me with a faint smile, her eyes glistening with tears.Lady Eleanor sat on the side, watching me closely. Her smirk cut through me. I knew she was more than happy to be here to witness my fall. I took a deep breath, closing my eyes to block out the stare

    Ava's pov.I stood still, my legs shaking as I glared at Arthur. I actually did it, I shifted into my werewolf form, I have been trying to even do a howl ever since I knew I was a wolf and I still couldn't do it but now I actually did it…I changed into a werewolf. I glanced around, everything seemed new, I could hear the hammering heartbeat of the people around and the flapping of wings from a long distance, my eyes were sharper and clear…almost too much. “She shifted,” someone whispered, breaking the silence.I barely had time to think about what they’d said because Arthur, or rather his wolf, shook the dirt off him and turned to me. His golden eyes glowed, but they weren’t the eyes of the man I knew. They were filled with something dark. He stared at me, clearly he didn’t recognize me.Before I knew what was happening, the beast lunged forward. I moved in time, leaping to the side as his claws swiped through the air where I had been standing. A deep growl came out of me, surpr

    Arthur's POVThe moonlight spilled through the curtains as I stepped into Ava's room. She lay on the bed, her face pale. Her eyes were fixed on the ceiling, it was clear she was lost in thought. “Ava,” I called softly, walking closer to her. Her head turned towards me, her lips pressing into a thin line. “Arthur,” she whispered.I walked closer, standing at the foot of her bed, my arms crossed on my chest. “Do you understand the severity of what happened today?”She sat up, wincing slightly. “I do, but—”“No,” I interrupted, my voice hard. “You don’t. You endangered yourself and our child. Do you have any idea what could have happened if Elizabeth hadn’t intervened? You could’ve been killed!”She gripped the sheets tightly, her jaw tightening. “I didn’t plan for this to happen, Arthur. I went to the hospital with Amelia, and…”“And nothing,” I snapped, cutting her off. “From this moment on, you are under house arrest. You will not leave this room unless I allow it. No one enters

    Arthur's POVThe room fell silent, the only thing that was heard was Charles's heavy breathing as he stared at the head of the head sentinel in charge of Ava, his face filled with fear. I stared at Charles and Elena, my glowing eyes flickering between their nervous faces.“Explain to me,” I began, my voice low but full of venom. “How my Ava was kidnapped by an impure wolf under your watch,” I paused with a scoff, my eyes filled with disdain. “How could an impure wolf outsmart at least ten pure, trained sentinels?” I growled, my fists clenched as I glared at both of them.Charles swallowed hard, his body trembling slightly. “Arthur, we didn’t…”I cut him off with a growl, stepping closer. “Did I give you permission to speak?”He snapped his mouth shut, his fists clenched at his sides. Beside him, Elena stood unbothered, her arms crossed under her breasts, her expression calm.“Let’s start with you, Elena,” I said, fixing her with a glare that could have frozen hell. “How, exactly, di

    AUTHOR'S POV.Charles walked nervously down the long, dimly lit corridor, his boots echoing against the cold marble floors. He glanced at Elena, who walked beside him with her chin held high, her expression calm as though not affected by what happened to Ava. Charles couldn't hold it in, he clenched his fists turning to her. “Where were you?” He frowned. “I don't think that's what is bothering you,” she replied coldly. “But if you must know I have been quite busy.”“With what?” He snapped. Elena halted, slowly turning her head to him, her face filled with venom. He halted and turned to her. “My life isn't tied to Arthur anymore and besides I am still on the lookout for Oliver and Lady Eleanor's murderer.”Charles nodded gently before they resumed walking. “You know Arthur will lose it when he finds out,” Charles said. “An impure wolf managed to kidnap Ava…his Luna. Do you think he will let that slide?”Elena’s lips curved into a faint smirk, her expression unreadable. “That’s n

    AVA'S POV. The man’s grip on my wrist was strong, and no matter how much I tried to pull away, I couldn’t break free. My heart pounded in my chest as I stared at him. “Let me go!” I shouted, panic making my voice shaky. “Arthur will kill you for this, Do you hear me? You won’t get away with it!”But he just responded with a laugh, almost mocking me. “Arthur?” he said, shaking his head with a grin. “That’s the point. I want Arthur to come for me, Oliver wants him to see this. This is a message he can’t ignore.”I scoffed, trying to bite his hands but he didn't react to it. What's this man? Was he made of steel?“The only message that will be passed is your head to Oliver,” I spat. “Arthur wouldn't let you be.”The man stopped walking and turned to face me. His dark eyes were cold as he sneered. “You still don’t get it, do you?” he said.“I have been following you for days, from the day Oliver's death was announced till the time we knew that he was alive, my eyes have been on the roy

    Ava's POVThe morning sunlight poured through the tall windows of Luna’s house, warming the air and casting golden streaks across the room.I sat at the head of the table, surrounded by a group of palace maids, their faces a mixture of curiosity. Today was the first time I’d officially met with them, I was nervous at all. After all, their previous leader just died but Charles insisted that they couldn't leave the Luna's house unattended. “I’ve noticed a few things since moving here,” I began, trying to hide my nervousness. “The way things were done under Lady Eleanor doesn’t have to remain the same. You are all a vital part of this house, and I want to hear your thoughts on how we can improve things.”The servants exchanged confused glances at each other, I could tell this wasn’t something they were used to…being asked for their opinions.“I know Lady Eleanor just died and we are all grieving her loss,” I paused, scanning through the room. These people looked happy, no one look

Today was the day of the punishment, I didn't know how long I would be out, I needed to make sure Ava was okay before I left. I had asked Amelia to help Ava move to Luna's house and place her under twenty-four security. I walked to her room calmly when I finally got to her room, I froze midway unsure whether to knock, suddenly the door creaked. Ava froze, staring at like she had seen a ghost. “Ava,” I said softly as I stepped inside. “How are you feeling?”She shrugged, brushing her hair away from her face, forcing a smile but not big enough to cover the anxiety in her. “I’m okay, Arthur. Just… tired. I need some rest.”I nodded. “Can I come in?” I asked. She nodded, moving aside. As soon as I got inside I turned to her, pulling her into a hug. “I'm sorry for shouting at you yesterday.”She chuckled. “That's alright, I shouldn't have gone there.”“I will

My hands trembled as I shut the door, and I moved quickly to my bed feeling like I might collapse at any moment. Once inside, I dropped onto my bed, burying my face in my hands as the tears started flowing down. Lady Eleanor’s lifeless face kept flashing in my mind, and every time it did, I got so scared that I thought she might just come out from behind.How could she have died? Why did the girl kill her? What could Lady Eleanor have done to her?“This is all my fault,” I whispered, swallowing hard. “I led her into danger, why did I even play this game with her.”I hugged my knees to my chest, gripping the clothes. Tears rolled down my cheeks.The sound of the door creaking open made me flinch. My head raised up, and my heart started pounding harder. It was like Lady Eleanor was the one stepping in, I held my breath waiting to see th

My mind was clouded with different thoughts, and my heart going through different emotions all at once. I felt guilty, sad, confused, heartbroken. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Lady Eleanor’s face. She had been everything to me, she was there for me when I lost my parents, and she was also there for my mother when my mother was alive. “Fuck,” I cussed, slamming my fists on the steering wheel, my breath heavy.By the time I reached the palace gates, the sentinels rushed to me informing me of the urgent meeting. Inside, the elders were waiting, seated in the council chamber like judges ready to pass sentence. Their stern faces were etched with disappointment and disapproval. “Arthur,” an elder began, his voice filled with venom. “This tragedy cannot be ignored. Lady Eleanor’s death is a direct failure of your leadership.”“I am fully aware of the g

She was the only person acting as a parent to me, how could I be so careless as to chase her to her death?I wasted no time, I headed straight to the estate, driving as fast as I could that I almost got involved in a car accident.When I arrived, I met reporters crowded at the gates, I drove in immediately, asking the guards to shut the gates. The last thing I wanted now was reporters filming get body. I got out of my car, scanning through the place, I saw the Gamma talking to some men and suddenly my fists clenched as my eyes sighted Ava. “Ava,” I barked, rushing to her. She had a lot of explaining to do.She was standing in the corner, clutching her bag like the bag was the one holding her life. Her face was pale and her eyes filled with fear as she breathed he
