Arthur’s POV

Everyone was already gathered in the ballroom the sound of music and laughter was muffled through the doors. Every noble family that mattered had shown up to celebrate Cecilia's coming of age.

I stood at the bottom of the stairs, waiting for the only two faces I wanted to see tonight.

I adjusted my cuff, just to give my hands something to do.

“She’s late,” my father muttered behind me.

I ignored him.

I heard him sigh in frustration and disappointment.

My eyes stayed fixed on the top of the stairs.

And then they appeared.

Cecilia stepped out first, her chin lifted, shoulders back. Her dress shimmered under the chandeliers.

And beside her was Liz.

She was breathtaking.

There was something magical about watching her walk down the stairs. It didn’t matter that she was in the same dress she had been in since she died. None of that mattered. Only her.

My eyes stayed locked on hers. And hers on mine.

Everything else disappeared.

When she reached the bottom, it took everythin

  • Alpha's Regret After I Died    Chapter 215

    Liz’s POVThe smoke curled around them. Alice and Vincent stood there.They looked like they’d already walked through hell to get here. Alice’s hair was half loose, tangled and burned at the ends. Blood stained the side of her neck, her magic still flickering faintly across her hands. Vincent’s shirt was torn, blood smeared across his body from wounds already healing. Proof he’d already fought his own war before stepping into ours.The others froze, their wolves crouched low, still ready to strike. “Get Liz and Arthur out of here!” Alice shouted as she took in the scene around her.Angelica turned, her head snapping toward us, eyes burning with cruel rage. She didn’t hesitate. A surge of dark magic ripped from her hand, tearing through the air like lightning, heading straight for Arthur and me.Instinct took over. I threw myself over him, pressing my body against his, trying to shield him from it. My hands curled around his shoulders, pulling him closer even though I knew it wouldn’t

    Liz’s POV“Liz!” Diana yelled, her voice piercing through the ringing in my ears as she grabbed my arm and pulled me to my feet. The ground was still trembling, the air filled with the stench of burning magic. Melissa and Angelica were in the middle of the terrace, power slamming between them in violent waves. Light and darkness twisted through the air, tearing into the walls and shattering stone.Arthur was on the ground, Finn crouched beside him, trying to drag him away. But the barrier shimmered around us, trapping everyone inside.I pushed Diana off, my legs barely holding me as I stumbled forward. The ground cracked beneath my feet.Arthur lay still. His chest barely moving, his skin pale under the flickering light. I fell beside him, my knees hitting the stone hard. My hands slid across the blood pooling around him. It was warm, and too much of it.“Arthur,” I yelled, shaking him. “Please… wake up.”He didn’t move. His head lolled to the side, his eyes half open but empty.“No

  • Alpha's Regret After I Died    Chapter 213

    Melissa’s POVI should have known it was her. The signs were there the whole time, but I didn’t want to see them. There was a time when her name didn’t leave a bitter taste in my mouth. We were girls then, two witches hungry to learn. We spent our days buried in books, our nights daring each other to try spells we barely understood. Always competitive, always chasing one another’s shadows, but back then, it was harmless. We were friends. Sisters in all but blood.But power changes people.I still remember the first time I caught her drawing from the dark arts. The way her eyes lit up as the smoke curled between her fingers, the thrill in her laugh that didn’t sound like her anymore. I begged her to stop. I told her the darkness always takes more than it gives. She only smiled, said I was afraid of what I didn’t understand.I should have stopped her then, before she vanished into thin air.I thought she was dead. Part of me mourned her; the other part was relieved. I told myself it w

    Angelica’s POVThe blade glinted beneath the moonlight.I could feel his heartbeat raging through the air. Arthur King. The great Alpha. The gods’ chosen son. And now mine to unmake.He moved before I struck. His hand shot up, catching my wrist. The blade twisted between us, the sharp edge biting into his palm. His blood smeared across my hand. Warm, metallic, and perfect.He growled, his hand tightening around the blade. “You’ll never win,” he said.I smiled. “I already have.”He lunged, faster than I expected, his shoulder slamming into me. The knife flew from my hand, clattering across the stone. I stumbled, but I didn’t fall. Power surged through me, wild and ancient, licking up my veins. The air around me crackled as I raised my hand, magic answering my call like flame to oil.I’d spent every second focusing on unlocking Liz's powers that were locked deep inside her very essence. And while the power wasn't as strong as I liked, it would be enough to end his pathetic life.Arthur’

    Liz’s POVI slipped out of Finn’s room. There were still a few hours before the moon was at its highest point, but I needed the time to get there. My body was weaker now, every step a reminder that I didn’t have much strength left. I’d expected the palace to be full of guests by now, laughter and music filling the halls for the Alpha King’s celebration.But there was nothing.Not a sound. Not a soul.Arthur really was going to do this alone.My chest filled with more pain at the thought. He was walking straight into danger with no one beside him, not even me. I wanted to believe he could win, that he was strong enough, but it wasn't just Angelica he might face. Silas wouldn't be far.I moved faster, forcing my body to keep going even as my legs threatened to give out. The corridors felt endless. Each turn looked the same.I was halfway down the last hall when I heard it.Footsteps. Running towards me.I froze, every instinct screaming to hide. I pressed myself into the shadows of a d

  • Alpha's Regret After I Died    Chapter 210

    Arthur’s POVThe night was quiet. I had made sure that no one would be here.I stood at the edge of the rose terrace, the moonlight cutting through the garden in thin silver lines. The scent of roses filled the air. Each petal shimmered faintly under the light, but there was no beauty in it tonight. This place wasn’t meant for love anymore. It was a stage for a monster.The arch stood in front of me. Red roses twisted around white ones, bleeding colour into purity. I hated it.My hands clenched at my sides. The only thing that kept me still was the sound of the fountain nearby. I focused on it the way drowning men focus on air.Footsteps approached from behind. I didn’t need to turn to know who it was.“Finn,” I said.He came to stand beside me, his face shadowed, his eyes scanning the terrace. “It’s all set,” he said. “The palace grounds are empty.”“And Liz?”He hesitated. That pause told me everything before he even spoke.“I haven’t been able to get to her,” he said finally. “Eve
