Skye's POV I walked into the house and Ria, one of the pack members greeted me and took notice of my bleeding lips."You have a cut on your lip, alpha," she said.I touched my lips and stared down at the stain of blood on my fingertip. "It's nothing," I assured her.Robin walked down the stairs. "I didn't see you at the parade anymore, so I brought the pack back home," he said as he approached me. "Now that you're here, I have a.." he paused when he noticed my swollen lips. "What happened to you?" he asked.I walked towards the sofa and sat down. I signaled to Ria to leave and she did. "I got into a fight at the parade but it's nothing serious to worry yourself about," "Who will dare lay their filthy hands on the blood moon alpha?" he asked and from the tone of his voice, he was angry and ready to fight for my sake."Your blood gets too hot over trivial matters," I said to him."No, Skye. This cannot be taken lightly. Just give me the go ahead and that person's head shall be brought
Ava's POV I clashed swords with Lucia on the training field. The weather was mild which gave me an advantage. I had ensured that Fernandez was no longer my partner on the training ground cause I was not ready to speak with him.I had decided to get a new partner and she turned out to be Lucia. She swung her sword severally at me attempting to give me a cut on my shoulder but, I avoided it by pushing her with my elbow to the ground. She was a pretty rough fighter.As she fell to the ground, I offered her my hand to help her up but she brushed it aside. "If only you had used such skills on the alpha of the blood moon." She blurted out as she stood to her feet."What?" I asked baffled by her words."You should have used such skills to fight the alpha, but you wouldn't because he's your mate," she said again without any hint of fear in her."Watch your words, Lucia or it will get you in trouble. I'm still your Queen." I warned lightly."Queen my foot," she scoffed. "A queen that can't def
Skye's POV The night walker pack was quite hospitable to me when I arrived at their pack house. The house was exquisite and the feast hosted in my name was indeed quite fabulous.The ladies in very exposing dresses frolicked around me and were getting me aroused to the disapproval of Eros who was trying to make me understand that we had, I mean, he had a mate, Ava White. A courageous, beautiful, fierce, and an enigma I was struggling so hard to accept as my mate.I wanted to forget her despite my wolf swearing to protect her after finding out she could be in possible danger. I was not yet convinced about the whole thing despite my knowledge that my father never lied.His books were always the truth about life but I still had doubts. I was rejected by my mate, there was no reason I had to stop myself from having a good time. The feast continued till dawn and I awoke seeing two stark naked ladies curled up in my arms. I looked around in bafflement wondering how they got in my bed.The
Ava's POV The mid noon rays filtered through the narrow lines of the shabby cabin I was in. My punishment was not quite as grave as I expected it to be. I was locked up in a dark cabin since yesterday to atone for my mistakes, not to be served meals, and was to be released by tomorrow.I was also to apologize to Lucia for my crude behavior and then address the pack. I shrugged, it wasn't something I couldn't handle. I found myself thinking of Skye again just like I did last night. Last night, I had kept tossing on the bare ground and having different nightmares of Skye and what he was probably doing.The dreams were delirious that I couldn't pick out what they meant and this noon, he was in my mind again and how I hated it. It was ill for me to think of an enemy. An enemy who is the son of the man who murdered my mother in my presence. I couldn't forget that day and I shouldn't either.I lay on the bare cold ground like a prisoner and I felt something cold slithering beside me. I turn
Ava's POV In the early hours of the morning, the door of the cabin was opened as I stretched my limbs. I yawned, and squinted my eyes as the sunrise hit my face. My punishment was over. My stomach growled and my wolf, Isla grimaced. We were literally starving. I walked out of the cabin as my legs threatened to fail me.Being locked up for two and a half days without food had it tow on me. Uncle Phil was standing outside the cabin. "Your breakfast has been served in your cabin. You'll have a wash, eat and then gather the people to address them," he said and I said nothing to him as I walked numbly past him and towards my cabin.I heard the guard say. "A dead snake is in here.""What?" uncle asked probably going in to verify."I think she killed it," he said again. I paid no more attention to them as I continued walking. I got into my cabin and immediately attacked the food on the table without giving a care in the world that my hands have been unwashed for two days. I ate like I'd be s
Skye's POV Her hair was tied in a ponytail which gave her a catlike face with her eyes tilting and beautiful. My wolf Eros growled and wanted to claim her badly. Her chest heaved and my eyes got distracted by it."Let go of me," she said, struggling.For a moment I forgot why I was there and Eros wanted to be in this position till whenever. I inhaled her scent and Eros's eyes flashed. I had to control him from getting out. I realized my coverup scent was wearing off and soon I would be detected as an intruder."I have something important to tell you." I finally said."You risked your life here just to tell me you have something important to say? You know I can have your head delivered to me on a platter of gold or don't you?" she asked tilting her chin.I smirked. "And still yet you haven't done it?" I asked cockily, and then became serious. "It's really important.""And what would that be if I'm permitted to ask?" She was being skeptical."There's a myth about a demon king which is r
Ava's POV I stood in front of the river that has become my place of solace and threw pebbles into it."Are you okay?" I heard Fernandez's voice behind me.I took one sharp look at him and continued throwing pebbles into the river."Are we still going to continue with this silent treatment? It's been a week, we cannot continue like this," he said, displeased."What do you want, Fernandez?" I asked, my back still turned against him."I'm sorry, I truly am," he said, apologetically."That wasn't the question. What do you want?" I asked again."Can we just stop this already?" He asked in a pleading voice. "We've been friends since we were toddlers. Are you now going to use the Queen's attitude on me too?" He added.I turned sharply at him. "Do not blame me for whatever is going on between us. It is all your fault. You're the reason why I'm acting cold toward you." I replied, letting out the pent up anger inside of me."I'm sorry I blurted out about you and Skye. I was upset. I was angry.
Ava's POV Fernandez and I were partners again on the the training field as we clashed our swords against each other. "You're not getting any better," I chided."Days without training with her royal majesty must have had it effects on me," he responded with a smirk on his face as he turned around thrusting his sword forward to my chest.I moved aside dodging the blade of his sword. "It turns out, you're only perfect when you're with me." I said smugly.He turned around swiftly to kick me and I evaded it. "You're right about that." he replied, smiling.Before I could say Jack Robbins he placed me on a spot I couldn't avoid getting trapped from.The tip of his sword hovering at the side of my neck and my breath caught. "Surrender," he said to me."And why should I?" I asked staring at him."You should accept defeat," he grinned.I curved a smile. "Need I refresh your memory that I, Ava, never accepts defeat," I replied, and with that I subdued him. I angled my head towards another dire
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
