Ava’s POV

Three days had passed since Arthur’s birthday, and something wasn’t right, no matter how hard Charles tried to hide it, I knew something was off.

I sat on the grand balcony overlooking the palace gardens, the afternoon sun casting a golden glow over the landscape. A cool breeze rustled the leaves, but it did nothing to ease the unease in my chest.

Arthur had been distant, more than usual. At first, I convinced myself it was just the pressure of ruling, but the way he barely looked at me, the way his touch had become hesitant, made my heart clench with worry.

Was he still feeling guilty for not telling me about my parents? Or did he find something again and is scared to tell me.

I inhaled deeply, rubbing my hand on my stomach, a frown etched on my face. Arthur had no right to be distant this critical time.

I was almost in the third trimester of my pregnancy and he decided to pick this time to be away.

Just as I was deep in thought, Anna arrived just in time to pull me out

    Arthur’s POVI walked swiftly through the stone corridors of the palace, my mind heavy with unresolved thoughts. The echo of my boots against the marble floors filled the silence, but Charles' voice was persistent behind me.“The ritual is coming up soon, Arthur, my sister had everything set…why did you suddenly pause the procedure?” Amelia asked, her voice edged with curiosity. “Arthur had a meeting with Elena who told him that Ava will bring evil…and the child might also.”“So I have heard,” Amelia confirmed. “Elena told me all about it, in my defense i'm beginning to doubt Elena's visions, she don't like Ava in the first place.”“That's another way to put it, are you saying that Elena might be lying?” Charles asked. My fists clenched tightly besides me as I listened to their conversations but I didn't stop walking nor did I reduce my pace.I wonder why these people are behind me anyway, don't they have better things to discuss? I feel like my whole world is crumbling before my ey

    Arthur’s POVThe Elders stared at me, their expressions a mix of disbelief and barely controlled anger. Jennifer stood beside me, her smug smile unwavering. She soaked in their reactions like she had expected this outcome all along.I cleared my throat and repeated, “Jennifer has been chosen as the new Top Elder.” My voice was steady, but inside, I was filled with rage, my fists clenched but I tried to remain calm. The elders exchanged glances at each other, they murmured among themselves, some turned to Charles, their faces demanding an explanation. Charles also turned to me, one of his brows raised as he stared at me. I inhaled deeply and continued. “I know this is a huge change to everything we believe in but…” I paused and swallowed hard. “Jennifer will make a good Elder.”An elder jerked up slamming his fists on the table. “She has no right to sit among us,” he said coldly. “She’s not even one of us.”Another Elder nodded. “She has no lineage here, No blood ties to the pack,

    Ava’s POVThe sun hung low in the afternoon sky, casting golden light across the garden where I sat, waiting for tea.The gentle clinking of porcelain and the faint scent of jasmine filled the air, but none of it calmed the unease settling deep in my bones. Elizabeth sat beside me, her presence as imposing as ever. She hadn’t said much since we arrived, just sitting down there, sipping her cup of tea so loudly that I wanted to punch her in her throat. I exhaled, forcing my fingers to stop trembling. I hadn’t forgotten Arthur’s reaction earlier. The way he pulled his hand back from my belly like he’d touched fire. The shock, the fear in his eyes…it wasn’t the look of a man who was simply surprised. It was fright. Wasn’t this his child? His heir? Shouldn’t he be proud? A Devil Alpha…just like him.I shifted uncomfortably in my chair. Elizabeth finally spoke. “You seem uneasy, Ava.”I jerked up from my thoughts, turning to her. I knew she said something but I was so deep in thought th

    AUTHOR'S POV.Elena walked down the long hallway, flipping through a thick file in her hands. Arthur had been making decisions without her again, and it frustrated her. She was supposed to be part of these discussions, yet here she was, finding out things from documents instead of Arthur himself.She was so focused on reading that she didn’t see someone coming. Before she could react…BAM!Elena crashed into another person, and the file slipped from her fingers. Papers scattered across the polished floor.She inhaled sharply, already annoyed before she even saw who it was.Jennifer.Of course.Jennifer barely stumbled, fixing her hair like nothing had happened. She smirked. “Watch where you’re going, Elena.”Elena scoffed, rolling her eyes. “You ran into me.”Jennifer’s eyes flickered to the mess of papers on the ground. She made a clicking sound with her tongue. “Tsk. Clumsy.”Elena inhaled deeply, staring at the papers on the floor, she looked up at Jennifer with a glare. “They won'

    Ava's POVMy mother’s hand clamped onto my wrist the moment Elena disappeared down the hallway. Her grip was firm—too firm.“Elena was lying,” she said, her voice laced with pleas. “She just wants to turn you against me.”I yanked my arm away, taking in deep breaths. “You know mother, I have been meaning to actually talk to you and thank goodness I finally get you today…you have been absent from your main duties you claimed to want to do that's why you move in and more present in Arthur's life…everything Arthur has been doing is in your favor…from making you an elder…a top elder and making you oversee some important works in the Luna's house…sometimes overruling mine,* I spat, my breath heavy. “C'mon you are just overreacting,” she laughed. “There is nothing wrong with Arthur seeing potential, Ava, just focus on your baby.”Potential? Was she even listening to herself?“Fine,Then tell me why Arthur would make you the highest elder in the council.” My voice was steady, but my heart w

    Arthur’s POVCharles stood in my office, his fists pressing into my desk. His face was tight with frustration, his voice sharp like a blade.“You are selfish, Arthur,” he growled. “I can’t believe you let Jennifer take a position in the council. Have you lost your mind?”Yes, I still haven't told him and I had to fight with my wolf constantly, suppressing the urge to kill Jennifer. Not only was she now an Elder, she was pushing her luck too far, she had successfully divided the council, some supporting her while others against me. Yet, each time I tried to warn Jennifer about it, she goes on to remind me of Ava, threatening me to tell Ava everything. I still can't believe I was being threatened and I had to fucking deal with the fact that Ava was carrying a devil Alpha. This has never happened in centuries, the ancestors were right…the devil Alpha was a predator on its own, it hunts down things that might threaten it. How am I supposed to kill my own child? I couldn't bring mysel

    Ava’s POVEarlier that day. I was still in my room, my face buried in my hands, I still can't believe I slapped my mother and I didn't feel any remorse. But to be honest it wasn't my fault, she was acting like a bitch who just walked out of a high school movie. She had completely changed and I wonder if she actually came to the Luna's house to take care of me or to take over the pack. Lady Eleanor's warning sounded in my head. My stomach twisted in fear. I didn't want to believe that my mother was the villain here, she was so kind and caring but now, she went as far as reminding me that I was an impure wolf, I was nothing. I stared at my belly, my hand on it, the usual faint smile on a mother touching her bump was replaced by fear. The child was far gone, if we had known earlier we might have killed the child. Could we?“Luna Ava,” a maid called walking in, a tray in her hands. “Tea from your mother,” she revealed, setting down the tray on the table.I scoffed loudly, looking

    Ava’s POVI stared at Arthur, my palm still stinging from the slap I had just given him. My chest rose and fell with every shaky breath, my anger barely contained.His eyes burned with rage as he turned to glare at Elena.“How could you?” He growled, through gritted teeth. “Don't look at her,” I spat, anger flaring up my veins. “Look at me and tell me all that she said was a lie…you knew from the beginning this child would destroy you, didn't you?”Arthur froze for a while, his eyes flashed with relief but was quickly masked by rage. “You had no right to tell her, Elena,” Charles snapped. “You have broken his trust.”I scoffed loudly, pulling my hair in frustration. “His trust? I eyed. “The only trust broken here is mine.”“Ava,” Arthur called softly, reaching for my hand but I moved my hands away. “I didn't know he was a devil Alpha,” he defended. “Yeah,” I nodded. “You finding out was a confirmation that what I was carrying will make me a widow,” I spat.“I didn't want to be wor

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

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.

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

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
