Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mated to the Devil Alpha : Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

Aphrodite:I walked past Sophia without even sparing her a glance, a deep satisfaction growing in me as I sensed her fuming rage, knowing there was nothing she could do about what she'd walked into.By the time I reached the door, Sophia had dragged me back by my arm. I wrenched my arm out of her hold in disgust as I faced her.She raised her hand to slap me, but I caught it mid-air, flinging it back down and pointing my index finger in her face.“Don't you dare!” I growled in warning as we stood eye-to-eye.Sophia was shaking with pure rage as she sized me up, probably weighing her options on whether or not to fight me. She chose the wrong one when she lifted her hand to strike me again, but this time she was stopped mid-air by Asher.“Enough!” he said through gritted teeth, pulling her back from me. She scoffed, snatching her hand out of his grip and glaring at him.“You bitch!” she screamed at me. I just stared at her with a bored expression, which seemed to irritate her even more.

Asher:After Sophia's delusional outburst, she locked herself up in her bedroom and wasn’t seen for the rest of the day, which was a goddamn relief.I contemplated for a while how it was even possible for one she-wolf to overpower two of what Sophia claimed were the best warriors her father had.That was impossible, so either Sophia had gone insane or, as usual, she was trying to discredit Aphrodite in my presence, which, to be realistic, was impossible because she was already perfect in my eyes.The idea that Aphrodite could be capable of such violence was absurd, yet the image of Sophia's terrified face haunted me.It was almost time for my scheduled meeting with Hilda. If I were being honest, I hated the thought of seeing the vermin who tried to kill my mate without taking action. My wolf howled for me to end her existence. It angered me, but I had to remain civil for Matilda's sake. The thought of her always seemed to calm me, if only a little.There was a knock on my office door,

Aphrodite:The evening of Asher's anniversary ball was a whirlwind of activity, with caterers and decorators bustling around the mansion, making last-minute preparations before the guests arrived.Lara and I were in our bedroom, sifting through dozens of dresses delivered by Asher's personal designer. It wasn't surprising that he had a personal designer—he was the king, after all—but I somehow kept forgetting that detail.My goodness, my mate was the king.The dresses were all stunning, making it hard to choose just one, but eventually I settled on a shimmering grey evening gown with a vine-like lace bodice that flared down from the waist."So, Lara, I take it George is your date for the ball?" I murmured, twirling in front of the mirror. She smiled sheepishly, trying to hide her reddened face behind her makeup palette."He asked, and I said yes," she replied after a moment, returning to the finishing touches of her makeup."He's been a wonderful mate to me, Aphrodite," she said dream

AsherI trudged up the stairs towards my bedroom, angry at myself for not being able to protect my mate—not yet, at least.Loosening my tie in frustration, I turned the knob to my bedroom door but paused when I sensed someone else inside. I growled and pushed the door open with force, my nostrils flaring as I barged in.I stopped short in the middle of the room when I found Hilda sprawled out on my carpet, coughing up blood and clutching her neck. I rushed to her side without thinking and fell to my knees beside her, holding her up.“Hilda!” I barked, shaking her shoulder. She kept clutching her neck like she was choking, and as I looked closer, I recognised Aphrodite's necklace around her neck, now covered in blood.How did she get her hands on Aphrodite's necklace? Did she pick it up somewhere? I wasn't sure what to think anymore.“Who did this to you?” I panicked, picking her up in my arms without wasting a second and rushing out of my bedroom and down the stairs.“Asher.” Aphrodit

Aphrodite After our talk, Asher decided he couldn't leave me in that cell, as it was unfit. So, he suggested I be taken to a VIP cell.I was shocked that such a thing even existed, but when I saw it for myself, I understood why it was called that, although he wouldn't tell me exactly why it even existed in the first place.It was a cosy room with a small square window, a heavy metal door, a bed, a heater, and a little bathroom attached. He brought extra blankets, clothes, food, and water, so I was comfortable.Everything was moving so fast, and I still knew nothing of the reason he put me in here, but I was at ease knowing that everything he was doing was with pure intentions.My first night in the VIP cell, I could hardly sleep. I tossed and turned the whole night and was only able to catch up on sleep in the early hours of the morning.I was flipping through a book Asher had brought me that morning when I heard the sound of footsteps outside my cell door. I perked up, closing the b
