Chapter 47: Chapter 47
Ava's POV
I turned over and realized that a strong arm was around my waist. I opened my eyes and saw Skye sleeping peacefully. How could such a man like him sleep like a newborn? With a grudge, I acknowledged he was quite a catch even in his sleep.
My body ached from the several intense lovemaking. I closed my eyes recalling the events that unfolded last night.
After each lovemaking, he held me tight and within a few minutes, he was back inside of me taking me to higher peaks than before.
I opened my eyes, slipped out of his arms, and slowly rolled off the bed. I was weak and sore. I rubbed my aching neck and unwrapped the sheets from my chest and walked naked to the bathroom. I filled the bathtub and dipped myself into it, allowing the feel of the water to soothe my aching body as I closed my eyes.
The very image of my thoughts walked into the bathroom. My eyes flew open when he trailed his fingers along the lines of my heaving breasts.
He chuckled. "Don't be startled, love, I'm the only one who can touch you this way." He said.
I thought he was sleeping. He chuckled hearing my thought. "I knew when you slipped out of my arms. Were you planning on ditching me?" He asked me, his fingers traveling down my stomach.
"I'm still aching from last night," I said plainly to him so he won't have any devilish ideas in his mind but I was wrong.
"Unfortunately, I have other plans." He said as he slipped his finger inside of me while I was still in the water. I bit my lower lip and proceeded to remove his finger but he held my hands pinning them above my head. The water was an added aphrodisiac as he stroked inside of me and with less struggle, I surrendered.
The sensation down my abdomen built up and I was close to reaching an orgasm when he withdrew his finger and I groaned in dissatisfaction.
He kissed my forehead. "I would love to continue love but you ache from last night's lovemaking." He said and brushed his lips on mine.
"Bastard." I groaned as he walked out the door. He heard me and chuckled. I swear I'll make him pay for teasing me.

The hall was a bit quiet when I walked down the stairs. A few of the pack members were cleaning up after the event of last night. Some of the alphas were still laying down on the couches and others were probably in the rooms given to them.
I went to the dining table and breakfast was already laid out. I bet Ria was the pack's best chef. I picked up a teacake and bit into it as I headed to Luna's room.
"Hey sleepyhead," I said popping my head through the door. She didn't respond. Instead, I heard sniffles and sobs. "What's wrong?" I asked her worriedly as I drew closer to her. Her body was wracked with sobs.
"Come here," I said sitting on the bed and she fell into my arms. "What happened? Did anybody hurt you? Did you get bullied?" I asked her at once.
She shook her head. "I miss my mom." She said in between her sobs as she wrapped her small hands around me. I stroked her hair. "Hush now, don't cry," I said to her as I remembered those nights that didn't go by without me crying out for my mother. "Your mother is happy wherever she is now. I believe she won't want to see you sad." I said to her placing my lips on her hair.
"The monster...he took her away..she made Lucas and I hide in the attic but...I saw him." She said still in tears.
I held her close to myself as I gave her comfort. I could imagine what gruesome sight she must have seen. I wanted to question her further about the incident but I didn't want to upset the little girl so I decided to tread carefully.
"You said you saw him right?" I asked her and she nodded. I remembered asking her this before when she first came to the pack and she refused to speak about it. Only she had seen the demon king. I was hopeful when she started opening up.
"He looked exactly like a man." She said and I stared at her hair in disbelief. A man?
Skye's POV
I thought it fun to tease Ava cause she always build up a resistance whenever I was close to her but with more pressure from me, she always end up surrendering willingly.
After washing up, I pulled up a pair of trousers, a shirt, and a jacket and headed downstairs. The alphas were already awake and seated in the living room.
"The mighty alpha is finally down." Monroe, alpha of the moonlight pack said.
"After abandoning us to grace his wife's bed." El Ontario, alpha of the nightwalker pack said and they all laughed.
"I'm sorry to have left you all to the event, but what's a man without the pleasures of a woman?" I said and they erupted into laughter again and nodded in agreement. "The night of alphas is over and till next year before it commences again and I believe next year, I won't ditch you lot for my wife," I said.
They stood to their feet. "It was still memorable. Your beta had some nice ladies dance for us and also show us some good loving despite having partners around." Alpha Scott of the titan pack said. He was one obsessed thing with beautiful women.
"There was this little girl who did some magic stuff. Told some of about certain events of the future." Monroe said.
I raised a brow. "Oh, you've met Anna. Trust her predictions." I said.
They murmured amongst themselves. "We'll take our leave now. Till we meet again." They said and I nodded and followed them to the door as they entered their cars one by one with their entourage.
Ava's POV
I placed the plaid on the snow and lay on it thinking about what Luna told me. The sun had set and the blue sky was replaced with gray and twinkling stars. I sighed. We were dealing with a man. What kind of powers does he have? Why is he called the demon king? Was he the tall figure I encountered?
"What thoughts engross the mind of my beloved?" I heard Skye's voice behind me. I looked from where I lay. "Just know they are not thoughts that involve you," I said and he smirked as he lay beside me.
"Thoughts of me are forever embedded in your heart despite your reluctance to accept it." He said and pulled me into his arms.
"Keep dreaming," I said to him. He nuzzles his nose in my neck. "It's not a dream love, it's reality." He said as he placed his hand on my waist pulling me closer.
I ignored the torturous feelings his lips were creating. "Do you know what the demon king looks like?" I asked him and he lifted his head up. "No, father's book didn't describe him. Why?" He asked.
"Nothing. I was just wondering who we are dealing with." I lied.
"Well, I know who I am dealing with." He said nuzzling his nose in my neck. "Stop Skye," I said to despite knowing my body wanted him. His lips nibbled my neck igniting the fire he had skilfully lit in me. With expert hands, he unzipped my shirt from the back and the tightness loosened as he slipped his hands inside, caressing my bare back. I tried resisting but I couldn't. He has become an expert on my body that he knew every part of me that was my sensitive and weak point.
"I want you, Ava," he whispered in my ears. "I want you so badly." He said huskily.
"What are you waiting for?" I asked him, my body craving for his touch. That was all he needed. He undid the buttons of my jeans and pulled them off me. I struggled to pull off his shirt and he assisted me.
He lifted me and placed me on top of him. I was to play the aggressor. I curved a smile when an evil thought crossed my mind. Payback for what he did this morning. I slowly slid onto his hardened phallus and bit my lip at the feel of it. He groaned in pleasure. I moved a few strokes and withdrew from him. I repeated it again watching him beg.
He grabbed my waist. "Quit the teasing, Ava, it's torturous." He pleaded.
I whispered into his ear. "It's payback," I said with an evil grin and came down from him.
He grabbed my waist pinning me beneath him and I gasped. "You're not going to escape this." He said and with that drove hard into me.
We were naked under the twinkling stars with entwined limbs and our bodies fused as one. The lovemaking was more passionate than the others we've had. It felt like he was passing a message to me like he was communicating feelings.
In the heat of lovemaking, his eyes flashed revealing his wolf's ones and he leaned towards me and sank his canines in my neck and I closed my eyes in pain.
"Mine." He bellowed in my ears. He marked me under the twinkling stars in the snow and claimed me in the heat of passion which I never expected to happen. I have become his.
