Chapter 70: Chapter 70

Ava's POV

Everything seemed to be normal between the both of us as the days roll by. Standing at the balcony window, I watch Skye speaking outside with a pack member. He looked roguishly handsome in his breeches and a white shirt unbuttoned to his chest.

I gazed at him and a smile tugged at the corners of my lips. My doltish, arrogant, possessive husband, and yet he was...handsome. I agreed to myself without a grudge this time around.

I sighed as I placed both hands on the window pane, devouring him with my eyes. He had an indeed incredible physique. Lean and yet masculine. Just as if he read my thoughts, he looked up towards the window and gave a smile.

I quickly left the window and held my chest as my heart raced. Did he see me staring at him? I wondered.

I heaved and took deep breaths. I looked back at the window but he was no longer there. Where was he? I wondered as I craned my neck around to find out where he was.

"Looking for me?"

I jumped back in fright. I turned back to see Skye behind me smirking. "You jerk. You startled me." I said holding my chest as I tried to calm down my fear.

He chuckled as he walked closer to me and pressed my back on the balcony window. "I saw you staring at me. I'm quite irresistible aren't I?" He said smugly. I slapped his chest playfully. "I wasn't staring at you and besides I don't think you're irresistible," I said as I felt heat creeping on my cheeks.

He gave me an 'I don't believe you' look as he encircled his hand on my waist. "Hmm hmm, tell that to someone else, not me." He said as he buried his nose in the perfume loveliness of my hair. "Your smell is so irresistible. It never gets old." He said still inhaling my scent.

I sighed as his lips trailed down the side of my neck and the yearnings stirred deep in the pit of my stomach and I tucked my fingers at the side of his waist. Ria walked up the stairs and her movement disrupted us. She pretended like she saw neither of us doing stuffs as she said her greetings and walked away. Skye placed a kiss on my forehead. "There's a ball holding out in town tonight. We're invited." He said.

"What's the occasion about?" I asked.

He shrugged. "It's a ball between alphas and their wives, mates, or lovers." He said.

"You alphas always have occasions don't you?" I asked as I toiled with his collar. He gave a small smile. "We always have a thing for dancing," he said as he leaned closer. "And pretty women too." He said as he placed a soft kiss close to my lips which were very tempting and made me want more.

"I'll send a perfect outfit for you." He said as he turned to walk down the stairs. A huge smile plastered on my face as he turned back and winked at me. Okay, this was getting beyond my control. I thought to myself. I was falling uncontrollably for him.

Skye's POV

Your face seems so radiate with smiles these few days." Robin said as I walked out of the pack house. I grinned at him. Why wouldn't I be full of smiles? I was going to be a father soon and the love of my life was right beside me even though she hasn't said anything about being in love with me.

"What can I say, Robin? A man is happy when he knows he's really happy." I said to him.

"Queen Ava is really having a huge effect on you. Just a week ago, you were mopping around and won't tell anyone what was wrong but I could tell." He said.

I raised a brow. "How could you tell?" I asked him.

"It was obvious. The queen was away and you moved around with different women which were unlike you and when she came, she made me swear not to tell you she did. I figured out both of you separated." He said.

I shrugged. "Well, that's in the past," I said.

He beamed. "I also know the queen is pregnant." He said.

I laughed. "You now know a lot of things don't you?" I asked him and he chuckled as he nodded. "Now may I also know when you've set a date for your marriage with Camila?" I asked him and he looked away.

"Robin, you defiled her," I said to him.

"She's not the first to be defiled and not wedded." He retorted.

"I believe you know I have the power to make you get married to her. If she agrees to the marriage, then you have no say."

He looked at me. "You won't do that Skye." He said.

"Then give me an answer within a week," I said and he nodded staring at me.

Ava's POV

Anna walked into the room as I unpinned my hair. "Look who finally decided to see me. I have a belief that you have a hand in how Skye found out about my pregnancy." I said.

She lowered her head. "I'm sorry. I had no choice but to tell him. I couldn't stand and watch him drown away when I could reunite you both." She said and I walked up to her and held her. "I hold no grudge against you Anna," I said as I pulled her into a hug. "Tell me, where have you been? I've not been seeing you around."

She sighed. "I knew you were back already but I was finding comfort in the trees and learning more about my powers." She said.

I was puzzled but I nodded in understanding. "You're good now uh?" I asked her and she nodded smiling. "How're the little ones doing?" She asked and I chuckled as I placed my hand on my stomach. "I felt a kick today," I said smiling.

"Your baby bump is going to be very obvious a few days from now." She said and I sighed as I smiled. "I can't wait to hold them," I said.

The door opened and Ria walked in with a package. "For the queen." She said.

"Thank you, Ria," I said as I took the package from her. She bowed slightly and walked away and Camila walked in.

"Your professional makeover artist is here." She said with so much enthusiasm and Anna and I laughed.

"Alright, let's get this makeover over with," I said smiling at both of them.
