Semua Bab The Devil Alpha And I : Bab 81 - Bab 90

Arthur’s POVI grabbed Jennifer’s arm and dragged her out of the ballroom, my grip tightening as I pushed through the guests, my pulse hammering in my ears. She barely resisted, walking beside me with a smirk that made my blood boil.We stepped into the dimly lit corridor, away from prying eyes and curious whispers. My chest heaved with anger as I shoved her against the cold stone wall.“How did you find out?” I demanded, my voice barely above a growl.Jennifer laughed lightly, unfazed by my aggression. “Oh, Arthur,” she mused, brushing nonexistent dust off her sleeve. “Do you really think I will go as far as adopting Ava without finding out some things.”“I knew it,” I growled, my piercing cold glare locked onto her as I fought the urge of biting her head off. “You adopted Ava to threaten me.”She scoffed. “You are delusional, just like your father but anyway this isn't about me…this is about you.”“How could you do this to your daughter?* I snapped. “Are you blaming me for not tel

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

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

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

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
