Ava's POV "Finish him!" Fernandez yelled out, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. With one look into those red eyes, I felt lost. My wolf couldn't bring it upon herself to kill her mate but rather, had ordered him to leave.They all looked surprised seeing me in my wolf form.I retreated into the forest where I had pulled off my clothes and shifted back to human and returned back to the cabin. Here I stood now, facing the wrath of my people for letting the alpha go. Their surprised look at my wolf form was gone and replaced by the anger of not shredding their arch enemy to pieces. Fernandez's voice came the loudest. "How could you have let such an enemy go free! You had the upper hand and should have killed him!" He vented. "He spared my own life on the first fight. It felt right to do the same and be even," I tried justifying my actions. Why was he so mad anyways? "To be even? Oh, please spare me that," he said with a continual raising of his voice. "Fernandez, what's wrong w
Skye's POV The mind link we shared since we became mates wasn't strong yet, but I could feel her presence around. Just then, I saw her having a conversation with Phil.I walked down to the corner of the street knowing fully well she was going to take that lane. Was I stalking her? I asked myself countlessly, but my wolf, Eros kept saying I was only looking after our mate.A little correction there, his mate cause I wasn't ready to accept her. neither was I sure I was going to reject her.Just like I predicted, she walked towards the narrow street and I pulled her into the darkness. She wriggled in my arms in a futile attempt to escape me. I chuckled. "Stop struggling," I said. She realized it was me and said in a muffled voice. "Let go of me." I took away my hand from her mouth and she started ranting. "You bastard, how dare you..." I placed my hand on her mouth shutting her up before she continued her rants. "If you don't stop your foul words, I'll keep you in this position ti
Skye's POVI 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," I said."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 br
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 d
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. T
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 t
Ava's POV In the early hours of the morning, the door of the cabin was opened as I stretched my limbs. I yawned 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 starving for months
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 said to her then became serious. "It's really important." "And what would that be if I'm permitted to ask?" she asked being skeptical. "There's a myth about a demon king which is r
