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 I left the blood moon's mansion and went back to my pack's house without informing anyone where I was going to. I found my uncle seated with the elders."A meeting without me?" I questioned when I saw them."Ava," uncle said, looking in my direction. "I just sent for you. Daniel must have missed you on his way." He added, and I nodded in understanding."What is going on?" I asked noticing the elders were not looking happy.Uncle hesitated. "What is it, uncle?" I asked, with more demand."We've lost two members of the pack," he said."What?" I exclaimed in bafflement.He nodded. "They're part of the stubborn ones that refused to come stay with the pack," he explained."Do they have families?" I asked and he nodded."They've been brought to the pack,""I'm afraid that he'll find us here soon," Mary said worriedly."Have the barriers been set?" I asked."That would not be enough, alpha. With just us here, how can we defend ourselves?" John asked."You're now married to the bloo
Ava's POV His fingers encircled the back of my neck pulling me tighter to himself and I wrapped my arms around his neck as the kiss intensified. He withdrew his fingers from my neck, trailing down to my collarbone. With each kiss he placed there, soft moans I couldn't suppress escaped my lips and I gripped onto his shirt.He trailed kisses to my shoulder and down to the cleavage of my breast. Slowly but deliberately, he let my towel fall down to my feet. I stood before him completely naked just like when he came in and I felt debased. I attempted to pick up the towel, but he was quick to stop me. He fixed his eyes on me and from the glowing light, I could see my reflection faintly in his eyes."You are beautiful," he said huskily as his thumb grazed my skin and his eyes traveled down to the junction of my legs.Was he taunting me? He had this glint in his eyes that I couldn't fathom. "Are you going to play with me as a child plays with a toy?" I questioned him in anger.He chuckled
Ava's POV I walked down the stairs after putting on a clean shirt. I felt a little weak and wanted to lay back on the bed but I couldn't. I didn't want to keep my uncle waiting any longer.I had seen the blood stains on the bed and I had felt abashed that I had opened up easily to him. I saw my uncle sitting on one of the couches in the living room. He stood to his feet when he saw me."Uncle," I was glad to see him as I went over to hug him. "Ava," he said, as he held me. We pulled apart and he sniffed me. "You've mated," he added, and I shrugged as I looked away. "Your scent is mixed with his. I can perceive the blood moon scent all over you," he said in disapproval.I wanted to say something, but I heard Skye's voice behind me. "Is that a crime to have the scent of a blood moon?" He asked and I turned to see him walking towards us.He held me when he got closer. "After all, she's my wife," he said, emphasizing on the wife."Alpha," Uncle said in respect.Skye nodded. "Phil," he s
Skye's POV The pack was assembled before me. Each of them murmured about the sudden moving in of the crescents. I looked at them and cleared my throat and instantly, they became silent. "We are gathered here today to address an issue that has become a thorn in our flesh over an hour ago. You all believe that it's a threatening cause to have the crescents in the house but I see it the other way around. I believe it's a way of bonding." I said.They made a mockery of my statement. "Bond? We can never have any bond with the crescents.""They are murderers.""They are inferior to us."They chanted and that blew Ava off. "Inferior?" She began and I tried to stop her. "Let me be, Skye," she said to me. "It's time I speak to my 'pack'." She said, elaborating the word in sarcasm.She turned to the pack. "Inferior? Murderers?" She questioned. "Go on, let's hear what you have to say about the crescents, my people or you've run out of awful names to call us?" She asked."Whores!" Someone yelled
Ava's POV It was unbelievable, but coming from a witch, one should expect different things. I left the girls and saw Fernandez with a hard glare expression on his face sitting outside one of the houses on the blood moons territory. The blood moons had a row of four houses in their zone. The center one was the pack house which belonged to the alpha and he also accommodated a few of the pack in the house.He stood up when he saw me. "Ava," he called my name and I stopped."What do you want to say this time?" I asked him."You don't have to be harsh anytime you want to talk to me, you know?" He said, which got me irritated."Do you think you deserve any word of kindness after what you said to Camila?" I asked him."Are you going to start being hostile to me because of her?" he asked in that downgrading voice of his again."You know what Fernandez? You're sick in the head. You keep blaming others for your own faults. You broke our friendship and here you are now trying to put the blame on
Ava's POV It has been a few days since my pack came to the blood moons house and fortunately for us all, there was less friction between both packs. I watched Anna practice the cloaking spell and the formation of barriers. "Are you going to perfect these spells any day soon?" I asked her and she stopped and smiled. "If you'll let me, my queen," she said. "Forgive my manners, carry on, love," I said to her. She smiled and continued practicing. I felt hands wrap around my waist and I turned in surprise. Why I was surprised I had no idea but I should have known it was him. "I didn't see you in bed this morning love." He said to me. I turned back to Anna. "I was restless," I said to him. Truth is, I felt so comfortable in his arms that I didn't feel like leaving. He kissed my neck. "She's still practicing?" he asked and I nodded. He held my hand. "Why don't we take a walk?" he suggested and I reluctantly agreed. We walked towards the lake. "I can remember the first time we met,
Skye's POV I haven't gone into a deep slumber when I heard movements in the room. I held Ava tight to myself knowing we were not alone. I laid still not wanting to give this invader the impression that I was awake. The invader tiptoed in a light manner, but I could feel the invader's presence. A hand stretched in front of me and I caught it. It was a man's hand. He was holding a knife and was trying to force it into my chest but I held his wrist tightly.I pushed Ava away from me when I couldn't hold his wrist any longer and she jumped up frightened. I rolled over to the other side of the bed and he stabbed the bed. Ava was already off the bed as I struggled with him. He was bent on making me draw my last breath. Ava went behind him and hit him on the head with the lamp stand. He groaned and I was able to subdue him."I know that voice," Ava said going to switch on the light. The incandescent bulb radiated the room with its light and shone on his face. I was surprised by who I s
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
