Ava's POV The doorbell rang and I went over to the door. "Hold on." I said as I approached closer to it. I opened the door and I saw a boy about Lucas age. "Good afternoon, ma'am. Is Lucas home?" He asked. "Yeah, sure. Come in." I said to him. "Thank you." He said as he walked him. Lucas rarely brought anyone home and this particular boy I haven't seen in the house before. "Lucas, you've got a visitor." I yelled from the bottom of the stairs too lazy to mount up. He walked down the stairs and acknowledged the boy. "Oh, Jeff. Didn't expect you to find the house so quickly." Lucas said to him. "It's the only house that fits the description you gave on the block." Jeff replied. I gave a slight cough. "Ahem." I said, staring at Lucas. He got the sign and apologized. "I'm sorry, mom. Jeff this is my mom. Mom, this is Jeff, my classmate. We have a project to finish before we graduate." He explained. "Oh," I said with understanding. "You're welcome, Jeff." I have a smile. "Thank
Robin's POV It's been days since I heard Camila and Ava's voice on the phone and I realized that I've missed them more than I thought. I really hope in my heart they'll be back home soon. I walked across the field leading to the crescent woods. Words have got to me since I decided to investigate of their welfare just like Ava had told me and the news I got was troubling that I had to come see for myself. I stood by a tree and saw the crescents in the most outrageous and devastating state. They look unkempt,malnourished and beaten by the sun. These were not the same people I knew that Ava led. They were carving a statue and from the look of it,it was a statue of Fernandez. I further withdrew back to the tree when I saw one of Fernandez men coming. I turned to look again and heaved a sigh of relief when he was gone. I wondered what he would have done if he had seen me. My head will probably be on a stake, but I knew I won't go down without a fight. Then I saw Phil and some others c
Ava's POV "We'll be going back to Scotland." I said to Camila as I walked into her room. She paused in the attempt of taking off her jacket and stared at me. "Did what I said the last time upset you? I'm sorry if.." she began, but I shook my head cutting her short. "No, Camila. It's just a matter of urgency that we return back home." I said to her. "When?" She asked me. "After the kids graduation. It will be difficult to find a school for an almost undergraduate. They have just a few weeks to go." I said to her. She nodded in understanding. "How do we tell the kids we're moving back to Scotland?" She asked. "We're moving back to Scotland?" I heard Lucas voice behind me in a provoked anxiety. I turned towards his direction and tried to smile. "Hey, love. When did you get back?" I asked him, trying to divert his attention from what he heard. "Quick enough to hear ya'll talk about moving back to Scotland. We have a peaceful life here. Why do we have to go back to what will ru
Ava's POV The next morning over breakfast, I broke the news to the kids. "We'll be relocating to Scotland." I blurted out. It took me the courage I didn't have yesterday to tell them today. Luna stared at me like I've sort of lost my mind which I was sure I might have. The twins stared at me wide eyed. "But why, mum?" Davina asked in dismay while Lucas stared aloofly. "What about my friends?" Dahviel whined. Luna kept quiet and started picking on her food. I sighed. "It sort of came up. Your grand uncle wants us to pay him a visit." I said foolishly and Camila shook her head. Wrong choice of words, she indicated. "Pay him a visit and we're moving back to Scotland?" Luna asked, scoffing, as she kept stabbing on her food. It was obvious she was being sarcastic, but I decided to ignore it. "I don't want to move away." The twins said in unison. "I understand, sweetie, but won't you like to see your grand uncle? He's like your grandfather you know." I tried to persuade them. "But,
Robin's POV When I got a call from Ava letting me know she would be coming in two weeks time, my joy knew no bounds and I just couldn't wait. I couldn't wait to see them all. I was standing outside the pack house, reminiscing. "Ahem," I heard the clearing of throat behind me and turned to see Skye. "What thought fills your mind and made you unaware of my presence?" He asked. "Your lover perhaps?" He added, teasingly. I chuckled. "Seems you're quite good with minds, Skye," I said to him. "I won't be alpha if I wasn't," he replied with a grin. I smiled sadly. If only he had read the mind of Natasha, he won't be in this state then. "We have an unfinished discussion, Robin," he said and I nodded. "I remember saying we shall continue over a cup of crushed wine," I replied and he gave a slight nod. "Shall we then?" I asked, and he led the way back into the pack house. We were seated in the dining room as Ria placed two glasses of wine in front of us and left. I raised my glass. "W
Ava's POV The plane landed on the the aisle of the tarmac and I inhaled the air of Scotland as we stepped out of the plane and I felt a familiarity in my lungs. We walked into the terminal and at the lobby, we met with Robin. He wore a grin on his face. Five years have really done nothing to him. Just a few stubbles of beards underneath his chin. Camila's steps increased as he walked towards us in quickened pace. Soon they were running towards each other as they met at the middle, holding each other tight. My heart melted at the sight. I and the children walked closer to them and they pulled apart. "Mom, is this dad?" Dahviel asked and Robin chuckled as he went on one knee and ruffled Dahviel's hair. "Oh my word, you've grown so big. The last time I saw you, you were this." Robin said, holding both his hands together like he was carrying a baby. Dahviel giggled at the sight. "Tell us who you are." Davina stated. He tickled her and she giggled. "I'm your godfather, you see."
Skye's POV Every now and then I flashed a smile across the people invited to the feast. I sat down, feeling all restless. Natasha placed her hand on mine and I smiled at her. I watch Robin welcoming in more guests into the feast. I couldn't see one of them faces, but I could tell by the hem of their dress, they were females. The one face I saw looked so familiar and I noticed Robin paying more attention to her. I tried to recall where I had seen the delicate face, but it just wasn't clear to me. I looked away from them feeling more restless while Eros was so excited. I looked back to where Robin was and I was dumbstruck by who I saw next. Long white lush hair. Spiky silver eyes. Red lush lips and a delicate chin. All on an angelic face. Her eyes reminded me of the clear blue sky. Few of the pack members that saw her gasped. "She's back." I heard the slightest of whispers.My head was spinning hard as images kept replaying in my head. Unclear images. Immediately her eyes met mine
Ava's POV "Ready?" Robin asked, holding the car door out to me. Last night, I had discussed about seeing my pack with him when he brought Camila home and he had agreed. I nodded. "Ready as I can ever be," I said and he smiled.I went into the car and he shut the door, got in and we left. Off to crescent wood.We arrived a bit near the territory and Robin parked. Stealthily, we walked into the territory. "I can't believe I would one day have to sneak into my own pack house," I said in distraught. "This too shall pass," he assured me. We hid behind trees that prevented the guards assigned to guard the pack house to see us. Robin had rubbed onto his skin sweet smelling oil to prevent the guards from sniffing him out. Those same oils Skye had rubbed to sneak into the pack house just to see me. Watching from the advantage spot that we where, I saw uncle coming out from the field with a bucket full of gravels. I gasped at his sight. This wasn't the man I knew, this was a man inflicted
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
