Chapter 41: Chapter 41

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 was thinking you were just a whore he picked up from the roadside who is clingy and won't let him go," I said smiling in a sarcastic way.

She sniffed the air around me. "You've mated," she said with a displeased look on her face.

I curved a saucy smile. "I believe now you'll understand what it is to be the one legally married to him. So mating is official." I said to her and I can feel her getting riled up.

"You're just another woman in his life. Once he's done with you and finds someone else attractive, you're gone just like you came." She said.

I chuckled. "Leave that for me to worry dear. You should be worried about yourself. I mean, you look desperate clinging to him like a hysterical hyena." I said to her.

She laughed just like the hysterical hyena I just called her. "Don't let this facade of a marriage deceive you, little girl. If you believe you're the one meant to stay, how come he hasn't marked you?" she said with a wicked smile on her face.

I stared at her. I didn't think about that. "You see," she pointed to her neck. "He marked me right now in the heat of a passionate lovemaking," she said so maliciously I wanted to rip her apart.

"Now that you have fed my ears with your sexual escapades with my husband, can you please go away and feed someone else this news of how you sleep with people who you are not married to? I'm sure they'll be glad to listen to your vile conduct." I said to her.

"How dare you," she said slapping me hard on the face. "How dare you use the word vile on me?" she asked.

"You just made a mistake," I muttered.

"You little.." she raised her hand again in an attempt to hit me but I held her wrist in a tight grasp.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," I said pushing her back. Why I felt angry I couldn't understand. I mean, I had every plan mapped out in my head, why was I getting attached?

She wouldn't stop and came rushing towards me again and I jabbed her in the chest and threw her and she hit her back on the wall. I had expected her to fall a few feet away from me but she fell hard on the wall far away from me.

I stared at my hands again. Why so much strength?

A few blood moons came out at the sound of the thud. Skye walked into the house and saw the scene. One of the blood moons held me and I pushed him away.

"How are we supposed to respect her if she can do such things?" They murmured among themselves.

Skye came to hold me but I pushed him away. "Don't touch me, don't you bloody hell touch me!" I said angrily and raced up the stairs.

Skye's POV

"Ava!" I yelled following her up the stairs. She banged the door hard on my face. I opened the door ad she was fuming in rage as she paced the room.

"I was talking to you," I said getting riled up.

"I made it clear you should leave me alone." She fired.

"And we both know that isn't possible," I said to her.

I took a deep breath and pulled her closer to me but she struggled.

"Don't you lay your blood hands on me!" she said at the top of her voice.

"Will you calm down?" I said to her.

"No I won't, that bloody hell of a thing spoke to me in disregard and your pack dishonor me and you expect me to calm down?" she said. She was infuriated and pushed away from me.

"The pack will be cautioned and as for Nat, I'll speak to her about her behavior," I assured her again.

"Speak to her?" she scoffed. "What will that solve? She pointed out that this marriage is void and I'm just one of your tools. That you belong to her and you marked her, you bloody hell marked her!" she yelled.

"Is that what this is about?" I asked raising a brow.

"What?" she asked.

"Me marking her?" I asked.

She looked away. "That's not what this is all about." She said slowly and underneath her breath. I reached for her and held her. "You're upset I marked her," I stated the obvious.

"I am not," she said. "And get your hands off me." She said making an attempt to pull away but I held her still.

"We both know that won't happen right?" I said to her.

She let out a sigh. "You always don't listen to me." She said and I chuckled. "I never obey anyone, Ava, I do what pleases me," I said and kissed her. She resisted as usual but I didn't relent and in the end, she surrendered wrapping her arms around my neck. I pulled her closer and delved into her mouth deeply in desperate need of her touch. My tongue met hers and she let out a soft moan.

I let down her hair, removing the pins that hold it together. I loved when her hair was flowing down her back. I caressed her back and reached for her breast and cupped it. She moaned in ecstasy. I carried her in my arms and dumped her unceremoniously on the bed. I ripped the thin fabric that was hindering me from the luscious fruit on her chest.

With fevered hands, she undid the buttons of my shirt and her fingers caressed my back and ran along the lines of my chest. I assisted her in taking off my shirt when it caught along my biceps. The shirt was discarded on the floor as my lips found hers and my fingers caressed and played with her thrusting globe.

I wanted her. My needs and cravings for her were insatiable. I needed her. With every touch of her fingers imbed on my skin.

I ran my fingers along the symmetry of her body and reached in between the junction of her legs and I slid a finger into her. She held me tighter as I was sliding in and out of her.

I relinquished my lips on hers and trailed kisses to her breast capturing the thrusting globe in my mouth. She held my head tightly and moaned in pleasure.

I withdrew my finger from inside of her and lowered my lips and kissed her opening. She rolled her head from side to side her hands grabbing the sheets. I rolled my tongue up on her clit and she let out a deep moan and she buried her fingers in my hair urging me for more. I placed with her clit and she kept moaning as I slid a finger into her again.

I returned to her lips, intoxicating her with a deep kiss. She reached for my belt and tried to unbuckle it. I knew I had spoiled her. She was craving for me just like I hungered for her.

I let her do her thing and the buckle gave way. I pulled the trouser off and she held me closer as I kissed her neck and spread her legs apart. She arched her waist in anticipation. I thrust into her and I felt my knees buckle. She was still as tight as the first day.

She bit her lower lip which heightened my hunger for her. I pummeled faster into her and her body followed the rhythm of my every thrust.

I lowered my head to kiss her when she whispered. "Mark me," she said softly. I placed my lips on hers and kissed her. Our limbs entangled as our bodies fused as one. We both reached our peak and climaxed together and I spilled my seed into her.

The moment far spent, I held her in my arms and remembered her words.

I wasn't going to mark her now because she wanted me to. I knew why she asked me to do so. She wanted to spite Natasha and not because she wanted to be mine and I on the other hand was still unsure of what I really felt. I knew by tomorrow, I'd have a lot of explaining to do on why I didn't mark her. I dreaded the next morning but I'll savor this moment and let tomorrow worry about itself.
