Skye's POVThe day had finally arrived. The day I would tie the knot with the feisty alpha female of the crescent pack. My wolf Eros was dancing in delight but I was a bit grumpy. Despite getting married to my mate, I was still skeptical about it all. I didn't know why I had such feelings this morning.I wondered what father would be thinking in his grave, his only child was getting married to the pack's enemy. One that murdered his mother. What kind of a son was he? He should be against this marriage but instead, he was instigating it. And Natasha? I frowned at the thoughts in my mind. I've been completely occupied with the thoughts of Ava that I forgot about Natasha. What would be her take on this?Robin walked into my room. "Skye?" he called to me.I stepped away from the window and turned to him."Any updates?" I asked."Nothing of much importance," he said."Then speak of what brings you here otherwise leave me to my thoughts," I replied, sitting downcast on the bed."Not happy any
Skye's POVTo say the White's house was lacking taste would have been a lie, it was far from that. It was impeccable with a flag of the white wolf hung high at the entrance. The crescent guards at the entrance snarled at me and a few members of my pack that came with me. I smirked as my pack snarled back."You'll get used to it," I said to them as I walked into the house.The hallway was filled with crescents. Of course, it had to, this was their home. They snarled discreetly as they sighted us and all I had on my face was a smug smirk while my pack joined in the competition. I signaled to Robin to make them stop as I approached Ava's uncle, Phil."It seems your pack doesn't look too pleased to have me here," I said, smiling at him. "I'll say the same thing for your pack," he responded, gesturing to them and I looked over at my pack who were still not cutting a slack for the crescent wolves.I turned back to Phil. "Bonding already." I grinned.He looked away. "I'll get Ava," he said w
Phil's POV It was happening already. Her eye color changing proved the moon goddess has blessed her with powers. Blessed her leadership and her marriage. I should have known she was destined for this. There was no way I and my late sister, Delilah could have stopped it. They both walked down the stairs and I walked up to her. Her eyes were yet to return to normal."Ava," I called her name and she hugged me tightly. I held her close. I still couldn't believe she has grown up so fast and won't be seeing her for a while.She pulled away. "My eyes, uncle," she said, sounding worried."Do not worry, you've been blessed, Ava," I replied, reassuringly. Elder John came along examining her eyes. "In all my years of living, I've never seen anything like this. The prophecy didn't lie about the special abilities," he said.Mary nodded. "The ancestors have blessed you for this cause you've taken upon yourself. Once the red sky is blue again, your eyes will return to normal," she said. Mary was t
Ava's POV The sun rays filtered into the room and on my face. I fluttered my lashes and slowly opened my eyes. Events of last night flashed vividly in my head and I jumped off the bed feeling my lips with my fingers. He kissed me! He had the audacity to steal my first kiss! I was ready to burst when the door opened.Camila walked in. "The alpha awaits you downstairs." she said."The bastard," I muttered. "What time is it?" I asked."About ten o'clock." she said."I'll be down." I replied and stood up from the bed. I looked at myself in the mirror and noticed my eyes were back to normal. Mary was right,I thought to myself as I look out the window. The sky was gray just like she said.In about half an hour, I was downstairs in my comfortable black jeans and boot. My eyes had returned normal. Skye had this stern look on his face, apparently he didn't like being kept waiting. In front of him was his pack. He gave one last look in my direction before addressing them."This here is, Ava, a
Skye's POV The meeting finally took place and I had ensured Phil was present, just to make sure his pack wasn't a part of the uprising rumors."Gentlemen," I began. "It is to our knowledge that the identity of wolves is coming to light. People no longer see it as a myth or a legend but as things that have become real. This meeting is held to find out the reason for such spreading rumors and ways to stop it." I said to them all."The rumors are getting out of hand." Monroe, alpha of the Moonlight pack said and the other alphas agreed to it.Michaelis, a high ranked four star admiral who was a human mate to Hadley, a blood moon spoke first. "I do not believe that we all here, I mean the human mates of the wolves in this city have disclosed any information to anyone who's not a mate or a wolf. These questions should be directed to the wolves in the forest," he said and Jael a human mate from the titan pack nodded in agreement."The rumors spreading are as a result of a few careless peopl
Ava's POV I walked in my wolf form through the snow. I should be cautious of the way I exposed myself but I couldn't help it especially when it was snowing. Isla loves the snow and would do anything to be out in it. As I walked through the snow, lots of thoughts went through my mind. How was I going to unite these packs? Packs that have been enemies for centuries. How was I going to defeat the demon king? Someone I didn't know about. What does he even look like? I sighed. When will all the answers come to me? Why was I chosen for such tasks? I shifted back to my human form when I got to where I left my clothes. Putting them on, I went back to the pack house."You have a visitor," Robin said coming towards me."Who?" I inquired knowing I had no friends except Camila here.He frowned. "Apparently, we'll be having more crescents in this house," he replied, walking away. I wondered what he meant. I went into the house and saw a man standing in the dining area. His back looked familiar.
Skye's POV I resisted the urge to meet with Ava last night after the mild argument we had that afternoon but seeing her this morning, her hair up in her usual ponytail and in those tight fitting black jeans and jacket, I couldn't resist her anymore. She was extremely beautiful each time I looked at her. I felt a burning desire in my heart that I couldn't explain. Her lips were always inviting anytime I saw her. She had a way of keeping me mesmerized.She walked past the olive trees and delved deeper into the woods. I looked away from the window and walked out the door, with an intent to follow her. Getting outside the house, a cold wind blew past me and I realized the weather was still cold. In my haste to catch up with her, I had forgotten my jacket. I walked through the snow, it was way too steep for human legs so I shifted into my wolf form. It was easier catching up with Ava this way. I caught a sniff of her scent in the air and in no time I found her by the lake that had alre
Skye's POV "Your what? I was only gone for a space of three months and you're married already?!" Nat yelled at me. We were in the study room. I had excused us from Ava."Lower your voice, Nat," I said and she fumed. "Do not, I repeat, Nicholas Skye, do not tell me that. Don't tell me to quiet down!" She yelled angrily. Her way of calling my name proved that she was very angry."There was no stopping this marriage, Nat. It has been prophesied a long time ago." I explained.She scoffed. "What prophecy?" she asked."This marriage is to unite the blood moon pack with the crescents," I said, not disclosing the issue of the demon king."So she's from the enemy's pack?" She asked and I nodded. "You're so ridiculous, Skye. You're inhumane," she added in bitterness, and I stared at her in disbelief."What?" I exclaimed, narrowing my eyes at her. How could she call me that?"I've been with you almost all your life. Been your best friend for fifteen years and during that period, your lover for
Ava's POV Skye was lying on the bed and he was pale and white with his eyes closed. I held his hand sobbing and his hand was cold. I couldn't believe that he had left me in this cold world alone with no final words. "You cannot do this to me, Skye. You have to wake up. Wake up!" I practically yelled at him but he would not. Tears dropped from Camila's eyes as she consoled me. I pushed her away from me. I did not need her comfort. All I wanted was my husband. Mariya walked in with Anna. "The demon king has been burnt along with his ring and his ashes scattered away." She said. I did not care. That man who was my father has brought me nothing but pain and sorrow and now, he has succeeded in taking the love of my life away. I placed my head on his chest crying. "Please, wake up. Please, wake up." I pleaded but he did not listen. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Everyone tried to comfort me, but I would not take it. What more was there to live for? I've been separated from him for five
Ava's POV The training lasted till midnight before Skye allowed everyone to retire to their rooms for the battle ahead. The morning came more quickly than expected, but the pack warriors did not look like they lacked sleep. It must be that Skye had done this before. He addressed the pack concerning the battle with the demon king. A few warriors were assigned to guard the pack house with all their strength. We were ready, dressed, swords in our hands, ready for the battle that had taken place six years ago happening again. Just then a blast of wind sent many of the pack warriors flying off. I heard a burst of evil laughter and looked to see father appearing mid air. This was just after noon and he had taken us by surprise. "I told you I'd be back." He said smirking. Skye and I readied our swords and stood side by side. I wondered how he got his body. "Do not be surprised that I am in my body. This is all that I have planned," "I buried you," Skye said to him. "I dug my body
Ava's POV Davina laid on the bed with her eyes closed and I held her hand. Skye sat beside her, looking intently at her. Camila placed her hand on my shoulder giving me support. Slowly Davina opened her eyes. "Mum?" She called, trying to sit up and Skye helped her up. "Davina," I said, tears choking my throat as I pulled her closer to me. "Are you alright?" I asked her as I pulled her studying her. "Yes, mum," she said, looking around. "Why's everyone staring at me?" She asked, hiding her face in Skye's chest. "How're you feeling, Davina?" Skye asked. "I feel weak, dad." She replied. "She's alright now. She's no longer in the possession of the demon king. She's free." Mariya said and I heaved a sigh of relief. Anna's POV Davina was allowed to rest again and I walked down the stairs to find the sorcerer, Mariya sitting with a glass of water. "Come, child," she said taking notice of my presence. I was reluctant. "Come, child, don't be scared." She said and I moved to where s
Skye's POV I could hardly believe it. Ava was right and it turned out to be the demon king? How much of our lives would he keep ruining? Davina stared at her like she was crazy. "What's going on here? Mother?" She asked, coming close to Ava who looked ready to fall apart at any second. "Stop right there, you evil demon." Mariya, the sorcerer said. Davina paused and stared at her. "What are you saying?" She asked, looking scared. How could such an innocent looking child be possessed by Clark? "Father?" She looked at me. She was ready to cry. I turned to Mariya. "I don't think you're right. Davina is too little to be possessed by Clark," I walked towards the child to comfort her. "Stop right there, alpha," she said, stopping me in my tracks. "Do not move an inch closer to that child before you're stained by the demon in her." She said forcefully. She moved closer to Davina and began to chant. Davina stumbled back in fear and tried to run. "Stop right there, Clark Forest!" She
Ava's POV "Mum," She called out sweetly to me. "I was just telling Dahviel to come downstairs and have fun with us," she said. She could look into my eyes and blatantly lie after everything I saw. I decided not to react. I did not want to raise suspicion on her side. I needed to find out what was wrong with her. "That's great, dear, but your brother needs rest, Davina. Why don't you go to the party downstairs and have lots of pastries, hm?" I said to her. She jumped in excitement like the little child she was and skipped out of the room. Tears rolled down dahviel's cheeks silently. I held him to my chest as I pulled myself together. What kind of trauma was she trying to make her brother go through? Skye walked into the bedroom. "I figured out you'd be here. I've been looking for you. Why did you abandon me downstairs?" He asked all at once, coming in front of me. "Skye, there's a problem," I said to him. "Problem?" He looked puzzled. "What problem?" He asked. "I think
Ava's POV I paced the room in perplexity wondering what was going on with Dahviel. He wasn't like this and he sure doesn't tell lies about his sister. Skye and I had returned back to our bedroom after making sure Dahviel was asleep. Skye watched me pace around without a word and then finally unable to take it anymore, he broke the silence. "What is it, Ava? Are you still worried about what Dahviel said?" He asked me. I nodded. "Dahviel cannot just come up with a story that his sister was holding a knife," I said to him. "Does that really say anything?" He asked. I stopped pacing. "Of course it does, Skye. Did you not see how terrified he was?" He stared at the wall. "What point are you trying to make then?" He asked. "Either something is wrong with Davina or Dahviel himself," I said. He stood to his feet. "Natasha did send thugs to abduct them, remember? Dahviel might be suffering from the impact of the incident," he theorized. I sighed. "You think so?" I asked him. He held
Ava's POV It was just as delightful as before and memorable too. I will never be able to be in another man's arms except his. I watched him sleep with his hair tousled on his face. It felt just like it was yesterday I married him. I ran my fingers along his firm jawlines. He was beautiful. An embodiment of grace and handsomeness. His piercing hazelnut eyes was worth to die for. His straight nose drawn closely to small soft lips, tempting me to steal just one more kiss before I leave to attend to the children. Unable to resist the urge, I carried out the thought in my mind. I feathered a kiss on his lips. I lifted my head to see a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. His eyes slowly opened. "What a great way to start a day," he said and I chuckled. "Good morning, my love," I chuckled, my fingers trailing his chest. "Another pleasant way to start a day," he grinned as he lowered my head to his, entangling my lips in an intense and passionate kiss. Then, he teased my lips.
Skye's POV Everyone was all settled in the pack house and the pack were planning a party for the return of the queen. Ava. I had ceaselessly wondered what if I didn't regain my memory? Was that how I would have lost Ava for good and never get to see my children? I thank the moon goddess for making Robin care for them while I was unfit. This time around,I'll never let them out of my sight. I'll do everything I can to protect them. The very image of my thought walked into the room. "Skye, Davina and Dahviel will be going to see my uncle today," Ava said to me. I stood up from the bed. "That's alright," I replied, walking closer to her and bridging the gap between us. "That will give us enough time to spend together," I added, grinning mischievously as I cupped her breast. "Skye!" She exclaimed. "You pervert!" She said, slapping my chest playfully. "But, I've missed you so much. If I did not lose my memory, I won't have stayed without you all those long years," I replied wi
Ava's POV Robin had arranged some warriors from the blood moon pack to help in my cause. Everything had been planned and by noon, we stormed the crescent woods taking Fernandez and his minions unawares. He had an awful expression on his face when he saw me. "We meet again old friend," he said finally with an hardened smile. "We meet again, Fernandez,"I replied as we circled each other. Skye stood beside me sword drawn as the rest of the blood moon pack surrounded his minions. "You've come back after five years," he said, jeering. "To make you fall by the edge of my sword," I replied, unfaltering. He chuckled and smirked. "It will be difficult," he boasted. "But, it'll happen," I said and with that, I attacked him and the rest of the pack attacked his minions and some of my pack members were fighting the blood moons. Why? My thoughts were immediately vanquished as Fernandez and I clashed swords. We fought, rolled over dirt, and swerve from the impacts of the swords
