Arthur’s POV

I 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

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

    AUTHOR'S POV.Elena stormed out of the room, her heels clicking against the stone floor. Her hands were clenched into fists, her mind racing. She needed to act fast. If Arthur was planning to lock the child's power away, then she had to make sure that never happened.She reached the dark hallway where Oliver was waiting. His tall figure leaned against the wall, his arms crossed. His sharp blue eyes watched her closely.She turned to him with a frown. “Just because you have a new face doesn't mean you can just walk around the way you want, this is the palace.”He shrugged. “No one will find out about it if you don't tell me,” he scoffed. “I guide my own room.”“Just be careful,” she growled, looking back at the door. “Did Arthur request your presence?”He shook his head. “But I have to report to him on something.”“What's that?” Elena questioned.“It can wait,” he shrugged, taking in deep breaths, placing his hands in his pockets. “Well?” he asked. “How did your meeting go.”Elena sig

    Ava’s pov. The morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the room. I slowly woke up, my body sinking into the soft mattress. I turned my head and saw Arthur sitting at the edge of the bed, cradling our son in his arms, a small smile playing on his lips as he held the child's fingers. “I think you are only doing this so he can make you his favourite when he grows up,” I said. He turns to me with a smile. “You’re awake,” he said gently, meeting my gaze.I nodded and pushed myself up slowly. My body ached, but compared to everything we had been through, this pain was nothing. It has been months now after the war, everything was slowly going back to normal, except the fact that impure wolves can now live freely. Jennifer was arrested but couldn't bear the fact that after years of planning, she failed not just to an enemy but to an impure wolf, she could take that shame, so she killed herself. Arthur carefully placed our baby in my arms. I looked down at

    Arthur’s POVA cold wind howled across the empty desert as I opened my eyes, sand swirling around me like ghosts whispering in the night. I sat up, blinking my eyes against the dim, eerie glow of the horizon. “Am I dead?” I muttered to myself as I stood up. This was the same desert I was the other time, was I really dead.No, I can't be dead, at least not now, Ava needs my help. I turned around, looking for a place to go but if I remember correctly, this place was like an endless maze. A shuffling sound caught my attention, so I turned immediately. A woman appeared, her long cloak dancing in the wind, her silver eyes glowing like twin moons. She was the same woman I met here.“You again,” I murmured, stepping closer. “What is this? Have I died… again?”She smiled. “You are not dead, Arthur.”“Then what is this place?” I demanded, scanning the endless stretch of sand.“The space between life and death, except that you aren't here as a lost soul but as a redeemed soul,” she said, st

I tried to move, but my wrists were tied behind my back and ankles tied together with thick chains.I lifted my head, and my breath hitched immediately, we were surrounded by Jennifer's men. Dorian lay on the ground a few feet away, his face bloodied, as he tried to get up but couldn't. Dozens of our warriors stood behind us, their hands tied, their eyes filled with fear. “Amelia,” I whispered. She slowly turned to me. “Ava, are you okay?” She asked, her voice weak as she glanced around. “What happened?” I asked her, swallowing hard, keeping my voice low. “We were defeated but I thought Arthur said you should leave, what are you still doing here?” She questioned.I shook my head, the memories of what happened flooded back. “We were going through the back with Dorian but they ambushed us, it was like they were waiting for us.”“Shit, Dor

Oliver stood a few feet away, grinning like he was enjoying every moment of Arthur’s pain.“Oliver,” Arthur growled, clenching his fists. “I killed you.”“And if I remember correctly, I also killed you but here you stand,” Oliver said in a mocking tone. “I guess the black witch brought you back, can't you do anything without help?”Oliver scoffed. “Why are you scared that I would beat you now?” He eyed. Arthur spat on the floor. "You can never win Oliver, you should have just stayed dead," Arthur growled, holding his side.“Really?” Oliver smirked. “Do you really think you can beat me?”“I beat you twice, there is no harm in making it the third.”Oliver chuckled, his eyes filled with amusement. “I do admit you have defeated me, even more than thrice but not again brother, the witches saw my worth that's why they brought me back—” Arthur c

This was supposed to be the biggest war of the centuries, one that would decide our fate. Dorian moved to the shelf picking out some maps and threw them on the table. “This is the complete map of my palace.”Charles stepped forward, spreading the maps. “Don't you think it's a stupid move for Jennifer to attack a palace she knows nothing about? She has no idea the layout structure—” Dorian cuts him off.“Are you seriously suggesting there is a mole in my palace?” He frowned. “Yes, I do think there might be a mole in this palace, but it's not your fault, most of our people turned on us.”I nodded, my fingers tracing the structure of the palace on the map. “There are a lot of hiding places that we can use to ambush them, what's this place?” I asked, pointing at a location on the map. “It's an escape route,” he replied, looking at me. “But only I have the key.

    Author’s POVAmelia stood in the middle of a broken house, her heart pounding loudly as the wind rushed through the empty stone walls, carrying the smell of damp earth and the past. This was the house she used to live with her family before Arthur killed her parents. She had decided to come here one last time and see her sister, the only family she had left, Elizabet. Elizabeth was standing right in front of her, Amelia didn’t know what to say or how to feel, she just stared at her. Elizabeth looked the same and different at the same time. Her dark hair was longer and her eyes looked more cold. She wore a black cloak that covered every part of her body, the only thing that wasn't covered was her head and that was because her cloud was down. “Amelia,” Elizabeth said. Amelia swallowed hard, taking a small step forward. “Elizabeth,” she muttered, almost to herself. For a long moment, none of them spoke, They just stared at each other. “You look well,” Elizabeth finally said, her

He had the look of a man who wouldn’t take no for an answer.“Again,” he said firmly.I groaned, wiping sweat from my forehead. My body ached from hours of training. “Arthur, we’ve been at this forever.”He didn’t budge. “And we’ll keep going until you get it right.”Frustration bubbled inside me. “I don’t even know what I’m doing. How am I supposed to control something I don’t understand?”“Then you need to understand what is inside you,” he said firmly. I rolled my eyes. “What is inside me then?” I shrugged. He hummed, nodding his head in agreement. “Then let's start with that, because there is no way you can control something you don't know.”“Seriously,” I groaned. More lessons again. “Can't we just cut some slack? I'm seriously tired, I need rest.”“Rest?” He scoffed. “You can only get rest if you are ready to wake up in a dungeon full of rouges.”My lips curled into a smirk. “I

The Devil Alpha…was Ava?“Ava?” I called, my voice laced with shock. She blinked up at me, just as confused. “Arthur…what’s happening?”Almost an hour later, we were all seated quietly in a room, our eyes locked on Ava, no one ever thought Ava could be the devil Alpha. “Okay,” Ava frowned, breaking the silence. “Can you guys just stop staring at me like I am some punk?”Amelia folded her hands under her breasts. “Well—well,” she stuttered, still looking confused. “We are just confused,” I blurted out. “None of us ever imagined that you were the devil Alpha, I mean you were so close to us.”Amelia nodded in agreement. “This has only gone from bad to crazy,” she laughed, biting her lips. “This is just so hard to believe.”“I can't believe you kept this away from me,” the words came out as I stared at her in disbelief and d

    Arthur's pov. The chamber was dim, filled with flickering candlelight that cast long shadows on the stone walls. We sat quietly glancing glances at each other as the black witch continued with her work. Amelia moved to her, whispering something to her, the witch turned to her with a cold glare. “What do you know about black magic?” She questioned her, her expressions flickered to disdain. “What the hell do you think you can do to help me?”Amelia frowned, stepping back. “I just wanted to help, you don't have to be harsh with your words.”I winced as I clutched my wounded arm. The pain was almost unbearable, I can't believe this was what my victims had to pass through before they died. Amelia walked to me. “Who does she think she is?” She eyed. “I am almost the best witch in our time, just because I don't practice black magic doesn't mean my powers aren't as powerful as it.”I smiled, despite the pain. “It's okay, Amelia, just let her go to work.”Amelia rolled her eyes as the bla
