Chapter 104: Chapter 104

Ava's POV

"Mummy." Davina said walking into my room her arms stretched.

I took her into my arms. "Love,how was your night?" I asked her.

She rubbed her eyes still very sleepy. "Fine mom. Dahviel's still in bed." She said resting her head on my chest.

I stroked her. It was unlike her to wake up early and I could see she still needed a lot of sleep.

"Do you want a glass of milk?" I asked her and she nodded. I placed her on the bed. "I'll be right back hm." I said and she nodded and curled into a ball on the bed.

I walked into the kitchen and quickly made a glass of milk for her and walked back to my room.

"Hey love,I've got your milk ready." I said to her and she sat up.

"Mum,can we go out today? I'm tired of staying in all day. Sco'land is no fun mum. I haven't even seen grandfather or even father." She whined.

I sighed. "I'm sorry Davina. There has just been a lot of things happening out of my control." I said.

"May we step out today?" She asked as she took a gulp from her glass.

I sighed. "I," I began but then heard the phone ring. I picked up the phone. "Morning Robin, your night rest?" I asked.

"Fine, Ava." He said but his voice didn't sound fine. "I have bad news, Ava." He said.

"Bad news? What happened Robin? Are you doing alright?" I asked him all at once.

"It's Skye." He said. He was struggling to find the right words to say.

"What happened to Skye? Is he hurt?" I asked worriedly.

"He's getting married to Natasha tonight." He dropped the bomb after some dead silence.

The cellphone dropped from my hand to the floor as I tried to stable myself despite being despaired.

"Mum,are you alright?" Davina asked me and I nodded blinking hard back the tears that threatened to escape my eyes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"We have to stop the wedding, Ava. We can't let that evil woman keep manipulating Skye." Robin said to me.

He'd arrived an hour after I dropped the call and he was trying to convince me to stop the wedding which I was reluctant about in the presence of Camila, Anna and Lucas.

"This is Natasha's plan to get Skye back. She has almost succeeded and we can't let her complete her mission." He cajoled.

"I do not want to do anything about the wedding. If he couldn't remember me in that dress,how would he recall the past? Besides,Natasha must have given him a potion again. He'd never remember me. This is a waste of time." I said trying so hard not to break.

"Do not say that queen Ava. We've gone so far to get this resolved,we can't back down now," Anna said rising to her feet. "If you do not stop this wedding,I'll do so by spilling Natasha's blood." She said determined.

I went to her. Held her and shook my head. "You can't possibly think of such outrageous things. You've lost your powers,I can't let something happen to you again because of me." I said to her.

"I'm distraught but not defeated. I shall stand by you to the end of times." She said. How could she still want to help me despite losing her powers because of me.

This was one true friend. "Your loyalty and undivided serving shall never be forgotten Anna. I'll make sure I bring you justice." I said to her in a promising tone.

She placed her hand over mine. "Do me justice when you've ensured that wedding doesn't go as planned." She said to me.

"Mom,you still love him. You can't let one woman get in your way." Lucas said and Camila nodded in agreement.

"Robin and I will go see Helene." I said to them. "We'll need her to tell Skye the whole truth as I try to make him remember." I said.

"I shall go with you." Anna said ready to leave.

"No you shall not. You'll stay in the house Anna. I can't risk it again." I said to her. She refused to obliged but reluctantly she agreed.

"Let's go." Robin said and I nodded as we walked out of the house.

Anna's POV

It was promptly an hour since Robin and Ava left to get Helene.

Davina and Dahviel whined all through about stepping out the door which I refused until I could no longer and Camila and I gave in.

I,Camila,Luna and Lucas, the twins,went outside the house,out of the protection of the walls and sat under the olive tree.

Davina and Dahviel seemed to be having fun running around and chasing one another.

Lucas and Luna laughed as they watched them.

"Luna," Lucas called,drawing her attention to him.

"Yes?" She answered. Her attention divided between him and the twins.

"Are you still angry at mum?" He asked.

She sighed and looked away. "Is there a need to be? So far so good there has been no trouble except with Natasha and the alpha." She said but she had spoke too soon.

If I had my powers,I would have sensed the danger but I didn't. We were forced to stand and in a blink of an eye, we were surrounded by dark hefty looking men.

Camila and I gasped as we saw one of the men grab both Davina and Dahviel as they squirmed.

"Davina!"

"Dahviel!"

Lucas and Luna yelled in unison.

"Tell Ava White that if she attempts to stop this wedding, then she'd never see her children again." One of them said.

"You cannot take them away." Lucas said boldly.

"And who's going to stop us?" He asked jeering. "You're but a boy." He scoffed.

That angered Lucas and in a flash he took out a knife from his waistline and didn't miss his target. It stuck right on the talking hefty man's forehead. He fell down bleeding to his death and then the battle between us and them ensued.

I was surprised to see Camila fighting. Five years must have done a great deal to her.

The twins bit into the man's hand and he yelled letting go off them.

"Run into the house. Run!" I yelled to them and they took to their heels but their little legs couldn't take them further as they got caught.

"Any more attempt to run,I'll blow their brains." One of the men said again.

Lucas laid wounded on the floor and Luna rushed to him crying. We watched unable to do anything as they took the children away.

Ava's POV

We arrived at Helene's place Twelve Pm prompt and found her sitting in a dark corner.

"Helene?" I called out.

"I'm not dead yet." She said getting up on her feet.

"Well it's the queen of the blood moons." She said.

"Helene, I've come today to ask for your help. I need you to accompany me to the blood moon pack house and say the whole truth. Will you do that for me Helene?" I asked her,going directly to the point.

"I've promised you before queen, I'll do whatever I can to help you." She said.

"Good. Let's hurry please." I said in a plea and she nodded.

"Give me a few minutes." She said and I nodded and watched her advance towards the adjoining room of the store.

Helene returned and we got into the car and immediately a call came in. It was the house landline.

"Hello." I said and heard the tear filled voice of Anna. "Anna what is it? Is everything alright?" I asked in perplexity.

What she said next gave me a shock. "What?" I exclaimed unbelievably. "I'm on my way." I said.

"What is it?" Robin asked agitated.

"The children have been abducted." I said quivering.

"What?" He exclaim in shock too and he placed the car on high gear and he drove at top speed to the house.

We arrived at the house and truly my children were gone and Lucas sat on the sofa with a bandaged arm.

I bent in front of him. "Are you going to be okay?" I asked him worriedly.

He nodded. "It's a minor injury. I'm sorry I couldn't save them." He said with anguish eyes.

I placed a kiss on his forehead and said nothing.

"It's all happening again. I was worried about this." Luna said crying.

"This is Natasha's doing. She said if you try to stop the marriage she'd kill them." Anna said and that made my blood boil.

She had the guts to abduct my children and now she also threatened their lives as well? She'd get wants coming for her.

I turned to leave in anger. "Wait Ava. Where are you going?" Robin stopped me.

"Where else Robin? To find my children and kill that bloody hell of a woman with my own bare hands." I said in anger.

I didn't want to cry that my children had been abducted. I was going to be strong. That's the only way I could find them and I will find them.

"You do not know where they are." He said acknowledging the truth.

"Do not tell me that Robin. I will find my children at all cost." I said to him very determined.

"I can help you find them." Helene announced. I had totally forgotten about her presence. "It doesn't matter if they are cloaked or not. I can find them. All I need is a strand of hair." She said.

"Luna,get the twins brush and see if there's any hair." I said to Luna and she nodded and left. I turned to Helene. "Once you get it Helene, get to work. I'll be right back." I said and turned away.

"Where to now?" Camila asked.

"To kill that sonofabitch." I said and walked out of the house.

Natasha's POV

"Natasha! Natasha! Wherever you are,come out now!" I heard the unmistakable voice of Ava yelling down the stairs.

I left the room and walked down the stairs. It gladdened my heart Skye was not here to witness this.

"And who's that toothless bulldog screaming the Queen's name at the top of her shallow voice without an iota of respect?" I said knowing exactly who was down the stairs.

I didn't expect her to show up here but it was fine. It would be nice watching her beg for the release of her children.

I had gotten to know where Ava lived through Skye's phone and I had sent one of Fernandez minions to go spy on her and he had came back with news that Camila,Anna and children lived in the house. With his description I knew two were Luna and Lucas and the little ones were Ava's babies. The one she was pregnant with. I was more than angry that she could carry Skye's babies and I couldn't.

She chuckled. "You call me a toothless bulldog?" She inquired.

"Yes I did. You have no place in this house. What are you doing here?" I demanded.

"I have every right to be in this house Natasha. I am Ava Nicholas, Skye's wife just in case you have forgotten. Need I also remind you your position in this house Natasha. You may be parading yourself as the queen of the blood moons but everyone knows who the real queen is." She said.

"Oh please," I waved her aside. "Everyone hates you for the death of the alpha's mother."

"That is because they do not know the truth but have you thought of how I still gain my respect despite everyone's attitude?" She said.

"I do not care. I'm the queen of this pack." I said to her staring hard at her.

"You're nothing but a mistress in this house." She said and anger rose to my cheeks. "Mistress?" She chuckled lightly in a dangerous way. "Mistress is too good a word for you. You're nothing but a sex slave." She said and I slapped her hard again.

"If you ever say such nonsense to me again,I shall.." I didn't finish my words when she slapped me hard across the face.

I held my cheek and stared hard at her. "You slapped me?" I questioned her in anger.

"And I'll do it again if you ever lay your dirty hands on me," she said vehemently as she pointed at me. "You of all people have a better hand of what I'm capable of doing. Don't make me remind you of the past Natasha. Don't push me too far!" She yelled in anger like a wounded lion.

I chuckled and turned serious. "Do whatever you want to do. Try to stop this wedding but I guarantee you Ava White that you shall never see your children again." I warned her sternly.

"That's were you are wrong. To me these are empty threats," she said standing head to head with me. "I swear on my late mother's grave that I shall stop this wedding and reunite with my family. That I promise you Natasha." She said dangerously and walked away.

She wouldn't back down. She'd do anything to ruin this marriage. I'll have to call those fools to double their security.
