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 I stood by the window watching Skye give orders to Robin. He had insisted Robin took the pack back to the house because of the slight headache I complained of. I watched him and admired his physique. He was irresistibly handsome with chiseled jaws and leaned muscles. Out of nowhere, I saw Natasha. I haven't seen her for days and that was because I avoided her. She was always around Skye and that angered Isla and made me jealous. I wished she could just go away but unfortunately, she wouldn't. She is a blood moon and this is her home. He walked towards the other houses with Natasha right on his tail. I didn't want to worry about her. I had thoughts in my head I needed answers to. I wondered about the wolf that had the snake's initials. Wolves didn't turn to snakes,that was impossible. But, how then was I connected to a serpent? I wondered. I should have discussed all these with uncle before he left. Now I'd have to make sure I met him home once I get there. I would wal
Ava's POV Skye was busy discussing the security of the territory with Robin and a few others which resulted in him leaving the house. I was still angry at him for what he said to me and refused to speak to him. I didn't even tell him that I'd discovered my special ability. I stood by the window watching their shadows disappear into the woods. "I've known him for fifteen years and I've been there for him and all of a sudden you're showing up as the future of the blood moon." I heard a voice saying and I turned to see Natasha walking down the stairs. I rolled my eyes. Why was I seeing her all the time all of a sudden? "That must have been a very long time," I said sarcastically. "You think this is a joke?" She asked me. I rested on the wall. "As a matter of fact, I don't think it is," I said to her. "I've stayed by his side for fifteen good years, as a best friend and a lover," she stated again as she got closer to me. "That's good to hear," I said smiling at her. "You know, I w
Ava's POV The sun rays filtered into the room resting on my face and I forced my eyes open. I got up to a sitting position on the bed and noticed Skye was not beside me. I recalled last night and I slapped my forehead. How foolish of me! I went into the bathroom to wash up. A little while longer after coming out of the bathroom, I saw Camila in the room. "Good morning, sister," she said. "Morning, Cami. What brings you very early to my room?" I asked her. "The alpha wants you downstairs." She said. "Seems you're now the alpha's spokesman." I teased her. She smiled. "I happened to be downstairs when he sent for you. My loyalty is to you always, my queen."I chuckled."I know, Cami. What's happening downstairs?" I asked. "The alpha is addressing the pack and wants you there." She said and I nodded."I'll be down in a few minutes," I said and she gave a slight nod and walked away. I went down the stairs and saw him speaking to them. I heard one of the pack members say. "How can we
Ava's POV I walked towards the lake trying to forget what happened last night. I felt abashed. Why would I make such an outburst? I was upset he marked her but he did so at his own will. Why would I force him to do the same with me? I was glad he didn't. I had woken up and said nothing to him about the marking and so did. I was glad he didn't mark me in that way I would be his forever but I was also bitter he didn't mark me. What if he likes Natasha better? Why was I even worried about such nonsense? To hell with them. Just then I heard Natasha's voice behind me. "Ava," she called out to me. I gave one look at her and continued to walk forward. "Wait up," she said again and I got pissed and turned around. "What do you want from me?" I asked her. "There's no need being hostile. I'm here to talk," she said feigning a smile. "About what,hmm? If you wanna talk about your sexual relationship with Skye, please do it with someone else and not me." I said walking away. She followed
Skye's POV I panicked when Natasha came to tell me about the ice breaking off the lake. I rushed towards the scene. On getting there, I saw Ava holding the little boy's hand and then letting go as she dived to the other side of the lake. "I told you, Skye, she's going to save the crescent that just fell and abandoned him," Natasha said to me pointing out the fact. I walked slowly towards where the boy was but, I couldn't get hold of his hand. I had to dive into the water and pushed him up. I took him to the pack's clinic ignoring Ava who was in the water. He was blue and his mother was wailing. While the pack's first aiders attended to him, I went to find Ava. She was sitting at the fireplace with Luna who was covered in a thick duvet. "What was that about?" I asked her angrily but she ignored me. "I demand an answer woman!" I yelled at her. "Before you go about yelling, why don't you ask Natasha?" She finally said. "I saw with my eyes Ava, you abandoned the boy to save your ow
Ava's POV I opened my eyes and saw Skye sitting beside me on the bed. I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head. "Are you okay?" He asked leaning closer to me. I nodded getting up in a sitting position. "How long have I been asleep?" I asked him taking notice of the darkness outside. "Approximately 12 hours." He said handing me a glass of water. "Thank you," I muttered as I took the glass from him. I had no idea I slept for so long. I took a sip from the glass and handed it back to him. "What about Natasha?" I asked him. He had a scowl on his face. "In the dungeon with Fernandez." He said. I shut my eyes tight and placed my head on the upholstered bed stand. "How did you find me?" I asked him. "I wanted to have a talk with you after the incident at the lake. I knew where you'd be and I came and found Natasha standing over the ice and jeering. She said something like you're gone now and that's what she wanted. Immediately she saw me, she pretended to have slipped and started
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
