All Chapters of Arranged to the Alpha Prince: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

NERO POVHearing my mother’s voice was like a wakeup call. I knew I had said something. I had called out to Athena before she fell on the floor, I just didn’t realise that I wasn’t moving.Running faster than my legs could carry me; I rushed over to her and scooped her in my hands. I didn’t care that the crowd stared at me with confused expressions; I just needed my wife safe. I needed her to be okay so that I could make things right between us.I had done too many wrong things that needed to be fixed and I wasn’t going to waste any time before making sure that happened. I should have known and recognised my feelings for her. I should have known that I had somehow fallen for her in the midst of my misplaced hate for her. When I thought that all I wanted was her body, I should have known that her heart was what I craved more.She never did anything wrong and I could see that now.With her in my arms, I hurried as fast as I could towards my room. I carefully placed her down on the bed,

NERO’S POVIt didn’t take a genius to know that these rogues were the same Zavier and I arranged to have Athena handed to. And when my eyes met with the Leader, I thought he could be reasoned with, that was until I got to know what he did.I should have known that Athena’s return would make him desire revenge. Athena didn’t tell me all that happened that night, not that I gave her a chance to explain how she made it out and away alive. But maybe if I had known, I would have been able to do something about it.If I had known that his son tried to rape her and she managed to escape, I would have killed him a second time for touching her.“What a hypocrite.” I heard my wolf growl at the back of my mind. “What did you expect was going to happen when you agreed to give her up as a breeder?”I hated when he his points made me feel like the bad guy. And seeing as I have had a change of heart, I really did outdo myself each time.This time I was hell bent on ensuring her safety.But no matter

NERO’S POV After the doctor left, my mother made sure I was put away. I was made to stay away from going close to her or even getting a glance at her. “I don’t trust you not to kill her while she’s unconscious.” She had said to me while I begged for them to let me see her. It was on me, I did this to her and now everyone else knew she was not safe around me. While we all waited through the night, my mother and a few maids walked in and out of the room. It worried me to the point where I couldn’t sit and do nothing. I pulled one of the maids aside and demanded an explanation. “The Princess is still trying to fight off the rest of the poison in her system. She has high fever that’s why Luna demands that we bring bowls of cold water so that her body can be wiped with a cloth.” The night passed by slowly but Athena made it out. I didn’t sleep a wink, I just couldn’t get my eyes to close when I knew that she was still in a critical stage. Plus, I wanted to be the one awake when day fin

NERO’S POVThe guards stared at me like they were doing something wrong and they felt guilty for it. While I walked freely to the cell myself, they refused against my wishes to lock me up. Instead the door was left open.I sat in the cell with my back leaning against the bar. While my eyes glued to the wall Athena was chained to, I couldn’t help but recall the words I said to her. How broken she looked when I told her the cost of stealing the heirloom, and how she was a lowly thief.I was an idiot.Right then I struggled with knowing she was there yet I had let my mouth dig an even deeper hole for myself. How she must have felt alone with no one to talk to or even confide in when I did things to her. Sure, my mother stood in as hers but that couldn’t have been the same with having hers.I’ll never make you feel like you’re alone in this world again, Athena. That I promise.I was making a lot of promises, but I was determined to keep them. This time I was going to keep them even if it

NERO’S POVI waited a moment for the doctor to be done, and I pushed myself to sit without letting the bed touch my stained back.“Would you believe me if I told you that I was a horrible person to her but that I have changed?”I looked my father in the eyes, seeing his brows crease further with confusion. There were so many questions I knew that he wanted answers to and for the first time in a long time, my father and I were finally having a heart to heart conversation.Zavier should have been the one I should have spoken to about this, maybe even include my father but he was such a messed up fucker to even listen to a word I would say to him about my feelings changing for Athena.Well he knew, that I understood but not my father. And I knew he was going to give me the best advice if I needed him to.“I’m sorry but you’re going to have to talk plainly son. What have you changed into?”I puckered my lips, then moved them into a thin line. My jaws clenched tightly against each other as
