Ava's POV Everything seemed to be normal between the both of us as the days roll by. Standing at the balcony window, I watch Skye speaking outside with a pack member. He looked roguishly handsome in his breeches and a white shirt unbuttoned to his chest. I gazed at him and a smile tugged at the corners of my lips. My doltish, arrogant, possessive husband, and yet he was...handsome. I agreed to myself without a grudge this time around. I sighed as I placed both hands on the window pane, devouring him with my eyes. He had an indeed incredible physique. Lean and yet masculine. Just as if he read my thoughts, he looked up towards the window and gave a smile. I quickly left the window and held my chest as my heart raced. Did he see me staring at him? I wondered. I heaved and took deep breaths. I looked back at the window but he was no longer there. Where was he? I wondered as I craned my neck around to find out where he was. "Looking for me?" I jumped back in fright. I turned back
Ava's POV The dress Skye had sent and laid out for me was breathtaking. As usual, he had a huge sense of style. It was a floral white dress with embroidered design around the hem of the dress and sleeves. The dress exposed my bare back despite having a button at the nape of my neck. I wore the dress and it made me remember my mother in her ever flowing white dress. I smiled at my reflection. My hair was made in a bun and the rest of it dropped behind my back, imbedded with hydrangeas. With my white hair and white dress, I looked like an angel from above. I looked back at Anna and Camila. "How do I look?" I asked and their eyes watered as Camila wiped off an imaginary tear from her eyes. "You're Aphrodite reborn." She said. "I'm speechless," Anna added, and I smiled at both of them. "Then, I'm ready to grace this great ball of alphas," I said with a nervous chuckle. I walked down the stairs with both of them behind me and Skye was standing at the foot of the stairs. His gaze fel
Ava's POV I stirred up in my sleep the next morning and fluttered my lashes open. I opened my eyes and there was Skye still asleep. I stared at him for a few seconds, watching him breathe in and out. His eyes were closed and his lashes rested just above his eyelids. He looked peaceful in his sleep and also very attractive despite his disheveled state. I ran my fingers along the lines of his chiseled jaw and smiled to myself as memories of us flashed through my mind. 'Just admit it' Isla whispered in my head. 'Admit what?' I asked her. 'I do not need to tell you. We both know the truth' she said again. Yes, we both knew the truth, but I was yet to admit it to myself. I placed a light kiss on his head and turned to leave the bed when he pulled me back. I gasped as I fell beside him. His eyes were still closed. "Where do you think you're going, hm?" He asked. "You devil. I thought you were still asleep." I said to him. "What a pretty nice assumption." He slurred, still closing his
Ava's POV That night, as I stood at the bedroom window, I watch Skye and Robin shifting out weapons of the storeroom and into the main field. Was there going to be a training? I wondered and sighed. How I missed training. One training with the blood moon pack won't hurt, right? I wondered to myself. I pulled away from the window and lay on the bed. Fatigue was taking over me. I closed my eyes and a smile tugged at the corner of my lips as I recalled myself finally accepting the feelings in me. What was left was me telling him I had feelings for him. I wondered how he'd react. Just then the door opened and I opened my eyes and saw Skye walking into the room. He took off his clothes and walked into the bathroom and I heard the water running. A few minutes later, he emerged from the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist as he towels the dripping water off his body. I closed my eyes back as he advanced toward me. His fingers drew lines from my legs to my stomach. He lowered h
Skye's POV I was angry at her. Why would she disobey me and carry out the thoughts in her mind? I pulled her arm and practically dragged her into the pack house and into the room. As usual, she flared up. "Why did you drag me in here like a common criminal? Aren't you aware I'm pregnant?" She asked in anger. "If you had that thought in your mind, you won't have done what you did," I flared up. "It was an innocent training for fuck sake!" She yelled at me. "Now lower your tone woman and don't use that language on me ever again," I warned her sternly. She mellowed and looked away. "I just wanted to know how it felt again." She said. Despite my anger, deep down in my heart, I was proud that she could still defend herself and kick butt. Still yet, I was worried she was stressing herself and the baby. "You disobeyed me despite my instructions," I said to her. "It was an innocent training." She replied adamantly. "That innocent training could have caused more damage to you and the
Ava's POV Uncle arrived at the pack house and insisted I stay behind because of my pregnancy, but I declined. Why did everyone think I was handicapped because I was pregnant? "Skye won't like this," Robin pointed out. "At this point, Skye's disapproval shouldn't be worried about. We have to save him first." I said. "I'm the one Dalton wants. You'll need me." I reminded him. After much persistence, they agreed and together we rode to the shadow pack territory with a few warriors from the crescent and the blood moon. We arrived at the shadow pack territory and saw Skye's car parked outside it. We did the same and alighted. With my scabbard strapped on my back, I, uncle, Robin, and the warriors stealthily found our way into the territory. Much planning had been done in the pack house and a few warriors surrounded the house. One of the shadow pack guards was standing beside the building and Robin stealthily went behind him and snapped his neck and he dropped dead. He was quite good
Ava's POV Despite his injured arm, he dragged me up the stairs bidding everyone goodnight. "Someone save me from this madman," I said and saw uncle step forward, but Robin held him back shaking his head. He flung me inside the room and he slammed the door hard. I flared. "I just saved your fucking life and this is what you repay me with?" I demanded in anger. "I've warned you never to use that word on me and this is the last warning." He said, sternly. "Right now I do not care what word I'll use on you that will get you pissed. You should be grateful I came out there to save you." I replied, still angry. "Have you even heard me out yet?" He demanded. "I already know you want to scold me," I said, staring at him. He shook his head. "I know why you did so but the image is registered in my head." "Unregister it. You do not know how my skin crawled when that dirty pig laid his hands on me." I said in irritation. He walked closer to me and I backed away. "Don't come any
*** *** *** ***Ava's POVA few days has passed and Skye seemed better than before. I ensured he had new dress wounds every day. Despite being unwell, he was still being a pervert. As I unwrapped his last bandage from his arm, he pulled me closer to himself."How are my babies doing?" He asked and I raised a brow."Your babies?" I asked.He nodded as he tucked a wayward strand of my hair away from my face. "You and the baby in you." He said and I gave a small smile. "Doing pretty well," I said. He placed a kiss on my forehead. "Thank you for your care." He said and I just stayed there with a smile on my face. I planned on telling him about my feelings today.He lowered his head towards mine and I looked away and tried to leave his arms. "You're not completely healed, Skye," I said to him."With you in my arms, I'm made whole." He said, pulling me gently back on him as he placed his lips on mine. I sighed as his tongue probed deeper into my mouth. He kissed me softly as he ran his
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
