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
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. "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 said with 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 asked. 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 said to him 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. You w
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 said to him. "Days without training with her royal majesty must have had it effects on me." he responded with a smirk on he 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 said 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 said to me. I curved a smile. "Need I refresh your memory that I, Ava, never accepts defeat." I said and with that I subdued him. I angled my head towards another
Skye's POV"Rogue wolves," I said looking away with a scowl on my face. "What?" She asked baffled by my words and the deep frown on my face. I wondered if the rogue wolves knew she was my mate and decided to attack her to get back at me. I looked back at her. "I don't know why a rogue wolf attacked you but this is real, Ava. If you doubt me so much, why don't you ask your uncle?" I said to her. "Ava, are you okay in there?" I heard Phil's voice at the door. "I'm, I'm fine." She stuttered. She said to me. "Leave now." "You have to ask, Ava, to at least find out if all that I've said so far are lies," I said, releasing my hold on her. "I can hear voices in there, Ava. Open the door or I'll force my way in," he said again. I walked towards the window. "Ask," I said for the last time before swinging onto the branch of the tree outside her cabin. Ava's POV "Ava, open this door at once," Uncle demanded. Making efforts to break down the door. I took a deep breath and went towards
Skye's POV Robin frowned in annoyance as he walked into the study. These days, this is where I find comfort, in the books of my father. My father was indeed a marvelous writer and a wide intellectual reader. His books had a way of captivating his readers. "This has been sent in by the crescents, Skye and it's directed to you." he said. "I'm sure you know what to do with it," I responded still engulfed in one of my father's books and he stared at me dumbly. I took one glance at him and returned to my reading. "Read it out loud." I said to him. "I'm afraid I cannot obey you this time, Skye," he said and I gave him a hard look. "Forgive me alpha," he said lowering his head. "But, I cannot read out this abominable letter." he said. I stared at him skeptically. "Bring it." I said gesturing to the table. He dropped the letter on the table and I picked it up. With a glance at the letter, I understood it all. A small smile crept at the corners of my lips as I leaned into the chair rockin
Ava's POVGetting married to the blood moon alpha was going to be tough but I did not expect talking to my people to be tougher.It didn't go down well with them that I was going to marry a blood moon. "It's for the good of the pack." I tried explaining to them. "Good for the pack or good for yourself!" They yelled rebelliously. "Ava is right about this. This has to be done because we have no choice. The pack needs to be protected." Uncle Phil intervened. "The pack needs to be protected uh?" Elder John scoffed. "I can't believe you're part of this treachery, siding up with Ava to marry the blood moon, shame on you for that Phil, shame!" he spat out angrily. "Enough!" I said in a voice full of authority. "Is that all you've got to say or you've got more?" I demanded and they began murmuring. "Listen to me," I ordered moving towards them. "Ava," uncle called softly trying to stop me. "No, uncle, not this time," I responded. "I won't stand here and watch the people you fought so h
Ava's POVThe meeting with the elders was over and I turned to Uncle Phil. "Why didn't you tell me you had a mate?" I asked and he shrugged. "I didn't see a need to. I was trying to move on." was his response. "I can recall very well I asked you if you had witnessed the massacre caused by the demon king before and you told me no," I said staring at him. "I didn't want to recall that gruesome moment. Not only Julia was murdered that day. We had lived in fear. Just us crescents having two powerful enemies. How we've managed to be alive and not wiped out of the face of the earth is still a mystery." Uncle said. "This will all be over soon. Please, uncle let the message be passed across the whole pack in and outside." I said and he nodded and walked away. I was walking towards the part of the forest where the woods were cut down when I saw Fernandez. Fernandez raged in anger. I've seen him angry a couple of times, but definitely not this way. He was bloody hell furious. "How could
Phil's POVHe turned out to be everything I didn't think of. I've heard of his name countless of times and his achievements and I respected him and held him in high esteem despite being enemies.He was determined, protective, possessive, and also a pervert. How would Ava cope with that perverted side of his?At least one of them seemed pleased about the marriage and looking at him, he was sure to protect her from the thorns of his people. Delilah my sister,won't have to be so worried about her. I had faith in Ava that she was capable of handling anyone that would undermine her. I wasn't feeling too secure about it but I had no choice."Very well then," I began and cleared my throat. "I've spoken to Dalton about the latest development and he's not very pleased with it," I said to Ava and she walked toward me. "He has no say in this matter. Besides, I never liked him anyway. He was too much of talk with an air of pride around him." she said.I knew that from the onset. It was obvious sh
