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 c

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.

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 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 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
