AVA'S POV.

I sat in the living room, the weight of my thoughts pressing heavily on my chest. The faint scent of lavender from the diffuser did little to soothe my nerves.

My mother sat across from me, staring at me, I had to beg Arthur to let my mother see me, he was taking this house arrest a bit too far.

I had a lot on my mind, I had no choice than to call for my mother, we haven't spoken since our fight, She always had a way of seeing through me, peeling away every mask I tried to wear.

“I’m worried about Arthur,” I admitted softly, my fingers twisting the hem of my sweater. “He’s changed… and no one will tell me what’s going on.”

Her brow furrowed slightly, and a flash of concern crossed her face. “Changed how?” she asked.

I paused, searching for the right words. I couldn't say he was distant, it was more like he was bolder and I kind of like it but I couldn't help but feel he was holding back something very important.

“I don't know mother,” I frowned, tilting my head to the

    Ava's POVI sat on the porch, the cool breeze brushing against my skin as the scent of flowers filled my lungs, as I admired the garden…or at least I should have been enjoying it. A faint silver glow from the crescent moon cast shadows on the empty garden. My mother's words kept playing in my head, my mind clouded with unsettling thoughts. I kept telling myself that he had nothing to do with this, that they were just the works of rogues but I couldn't shake the feeling off, that something about him was different. It wasn't like I knew him well enough and I couldn't have known him fully just by having sex with him. Why do I feel uneasy? Is it something I should be worried about?I had called him, asking him to see me as soon as he had time…but I knew that wasn't going to happen any time soon. He wouldn’t be coming right away. “What is going on?” I muttered under my breath. I placed my hand on my stomach, a faint smile playing on my lips as I rubbed my hand through on my belly.

    Ava’s POVElizabeth held onto me tightly as we hurried up the stairs. My stomach felt like it was on fire, the sharp pain making it hard to breathe. “You’re going to be okay, Ava. Just keep breathing,” Elizabeth said, though I could see the fear in her eyes.“I don’t know what’s happening,” I whispered, my voice shaky. I felt weak and my legs hurt with each step but Elizabeth held me tightly, guiding me into my room and laid me down on the bed.“Will I lose my baby?* I cried watching the blood flow freely down my legs. “Please I don't want to lose my baby.”“You’ll be fine,” she said again, but it sounded like she was trying to convince herself more than me.She quickly got to work, inspecting me, her lips pressed into a thin line.The door burst open with a loud bang. Arthur stormed in, his golden eyes glowing with anger. “What happened?” he demanded, his deep voice making it sound more scary. His gaze moved between me and Elizabeth, narrowing dangerously on her.“It’s lupine poison

    Ava's POVIt had been almost a month since the poisoning incident, and things were finally beginning to feel normal again. Elizabeth had gradually become a friend, I can't really explain the comfort her presence brought me but I felt happy each time she was around. My mother, however, was the opposite, constantly watching me, treating me like glass. I appreciated her care, but it was kinda hard. Anna visited often, her parents were not really in support of her visiting the palace, they were among the witches that still didn't agree with the unity between wolves and witches…but in a good way, they just didn't like Anna around them, so Anna's visit were always brief and she always had her mother constantly calling so we talked only a little.Arthur on his part has been acting really strange, I didn't get the chance to even talk to him, he completely avoided me like I was some pest, sometimes I couldn't help but wonder if it was the sex we had that drifted us apart.

    Ava POVLooking at the man that’s sleeping beside me, I couldn't help but feel fulfilled.We have our share of heartbreaks and betrayal from people we least expected it from but we overcome every obstacle together.I can’t ask for a better mate.My very own Devil Alpha.FLASHBACK *****My bones were breaking.I let out another throat-itching scream as my right ankle twisted painfully into itself, the pull bringing me down to my knees. My hands were chained to the ground with a padlock at either corner of the dark room, the only light coming in being the bright glow of the full moon.The fucking full moon; yet another one.I hated it and I was using 'hate' very mildly. I dreaded the changes that came with it, one of which being how I chained myself to the ground in the underground basement Penny had built a couple of years ago to avoid going on a rampage and killing some innocent human.My fangs pulled out painfully and I yelled out in pain, knowing it was coming. The resilient urge to

    Ava POV"Have you seen this?"I leaned forward to look into Anna’s phone. Aside from the cute picture of a green-eyed cat pouting on what looked like a very soft pillow, I didn't see anything worth gasping. "What? I don't see anything."She scoffed, shoving the phone closer to my face. "Look well. There's a ball.""Ball?" I asked disbelievingly. It was the twenty-first century. Balls weren't a thing anymore. "Be for real."But even as I looked, I could see she wasn't bluffing."Alpha Arthur James has announced he would be hosting a ball at his Villa to formally celebrate his reign as Alpha, and he has stated he would be picking a bride too." Anna read out loud. "Holy shit. He has just released a shitstorm, and he doesn't even know it."I was lost. I didn't want to seem like I'd been living under a rock since I was born, but the question begged to be asked."Who the hell is Arthur James?"The silence was deafening. After a few beats, Anna moaned. "You've got to be kidding me."I chu

    Arthur POVI looked down around the large ballroom again and took a sip from the glass of wine in my hand as I leaned against the wall at one corner of the landing, wishing I was somewhere else. There were probably over two hundred women present and I didn't find one even remotely attractive.From where I was standing, no one from below could see me. The room had been built for occasions such as this as my father had liked to throw parties and organize soirees just for the heck of it.Not for the first or second time, I cursed my father in his grave. The man had never liked me doing anything fun when he was alive and I didn't want to think about how impressive it was that he still somehow managed to find a way to get under my skin even now that he was dead."That is not the face of a man enjoying his evening."I turned to see Amelia walking towards me with a sneer on her lips."That is probably because I am not," I replied wryly, emptying the glass and then immediatelyregretting it

    Ava POVI watched him walk off the stage, trying to convince myself that the reason I was suddenly out of breath was that so many people packed together made the room hot and not because Arthur had looked straight at me when he'd spoken about having found his bride.Damn. I could barely hear myself think from how loud my heart was beating through my ears.Marriage? To Arthur? I hadn't even thought about getting married to anyone, talk more of an Alpha. I didn't want to. Fuck no. Getting married would prevent me from having the one thing I wanted most; a cure."He likes you."I turned to Jennifer, resisting the urge to roll my eyes at the smirk playing on her lips. “You like this, don't you? I bet it was your plan all along. Bringing me here, introducing me to him. You wanted him to pick an interest in me."She didn't even have the decency to look ashamed. "And? Why is that such a bad thing?""Are you serious?" I was livid.She sighed. "Sweetheart, you're twenty-three. Most young wer

    Ava POV I was floating.At least, that was what it felt like with Arthur’s hands running over my body. I couldn't explain what it was that drew me to him so deeply, but I knew I liked it. His fingers touched my face, my neck, and my shoulders, ran down to my breasts, kneaded my nipple, and then to my belly button.I sighed in contentment at having him so near, gasped in surprise when his skilled fingers entered me, and almost cried when they began administering a steady, pleasure torture.I waited in anticipation until he drove into me in one fluid movement. I felt my walls give way, break down for him. Something inside me snapped, and I let out a loud howl. His own terrifying growl came after, and as our bodies moved in perfect rhythm, it occurred to me that we were actually mating.My senses were heightened towards him, as well as my feelings. Feelings I'd never before experienced for anyone began to form inside me, and I let them, knowing it was inevitable.When he kissed my lips,

    ARTHUR'S POV. I sat down quietly in the office, I still can't believe Ava and I finally had sex, every single detail, her soft moans, the smell of our sweats, our bodies against each other, the kisses, the thrusting…everything was on replay mode. I ran my hand through my hair, a satisfied smile playing on my lips as I relived the moment, it was just what I needed to get my mind off it. “Fuck,” I cussed, biting my lips, my eyes scanning through the room until it suddenly landed on Charles, who sat across me looking at me with a shocked look. I cleared my throats, my face slowly flickering to seriousness as I darted my eyes nervously on the table looking for something to get busy with. Fuck, how long has he been there? Shit, I completely forgot about him. I picked up a paper, swallowing hard as I stole a glance at him. He was still looking at me. He stood up walking closer to me. “What are you reading?” He asked, almost laughing. “I'm busy, we have a lot to do,” I blurted out.

    AUTHOR'S POV. Amelia and Charles sat quietly in the study room, glancing through ancient books; they had been searching all night for any mention of the mysterious beast that attacked Arthur. Charles looked out the window, noticing the faint ray of sunlight filtering through,he jerked up in frustration, stretching his body and yawning loudly.Amelia turned to him with a cold glare. “Do you mind?” She eyed. Charles scoffed at her. “We have been sitting here all day searching through old books, I am not paid enough to be doing all this crap.”“Tell that to Arthur, but next time,” she paused, turning back to her book. “Don't yawn so loudly in the library.”Charles stared at her for a while in disbelief before he sat back down, his face slowly flickering to seriousness as he cleared his throat to get her attention. “Amelia,” he “What happened to Arthur? And… can he recover?”She rolled her eyes, slamming the book shut, before turning to him, frustration etched on her face. “I don’t k

    AVA'S POV. I let out a moan as he kissed my neck, I felt wet between my legs, my body screaming for his touch, I wanted him and I knew he wanted me. He pulled me into a kiss again, our tongues locked before pulling away and moving to my neck, his wet tongue on my neck only fueling my sinful desires. He suddenly moved back, ripping my night gown to shred. A faint gasp escaped my lips as I watched him with amusement. He eyes betraying his desires as he stared at my boobs, his hands slowly messaging them, he bends over, teasing one of my nipples by giving the tip a quick lick with his tongue. I titled my head backwards, my eyes closed as I let out a moan, my mind focused on the wet feeling his tongue left on my nipples. Why haven't we done this sooner? The first time we had sex, I couldn't remember anything, this time I will make everything made up for that day.He kept teasing my nipples before finally sucking my boob, he was good at what he was doing. “Fuck,” I moaned as I felt

    Arthur's POV. The ride back home was very painful. My body ached from the deep gash carved into my forehead, and every bump on the road sent a sharp throb radiating through my skull. Charles sat across from me, his face pale, his eyes darting toward my wound like it might start speaking.“What the fuck was that man?” Charles finally said. “It was too fast and way too strong.”“I have no idea what that thing was?” I said, breathing heavily. “That's a witch town, I shouldn't expect less, it might be some failed experiment.”“You’re sure it wasn’t a wolf?” he asked, finally locking eyes with me. I shook my head. “It wasn’t. He moved too fast, and his strength…it was like fighting a shadow with claws.”Charles leaned back, exhaling heavily. “Wow, I don't know what to say.”I stared out the window at the dark trees rushing past. “Say nothing,” I snapped, unable to bear the embarrassment of being beaten up by an unknown person.When we arrived, Amelia was already waiting in the hallway.“

    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
