Chapter 85: Chapter 85

Ava's POV

As soon as he disappeared into the hallway,I turned to Robin. "Everything set?" I asked him and he nodded. "I've arranged with Camila to prepare the kids. Once it's done,y'all will leave." He said.

I nodded. "And Anna?" I asked.

"She's ready." He said.

"You know what you have to do." I said and he nodded.

Anna walked towards us. "Are you sure about this? He'd forget you and everything associated with you." She said. I nodded. There was no going back in this.

"From the moment he saw me till now,I want it all wiped out." I said.

"Why don't you fight this?" She questioned me.

I shook my head. "Not in this condition. I have not the strength." I said. She gave a nod in understanding.

Tonight was the perfect timing. I knew Natasha would be out of the pack house. She always left the pack house at night. I went into the room waiting for her to cross the low white rail fences.

"Is everything okay alpha?" Luna asked me. I gave the little girl a smile and nodded. "Everything is fine." I said.

A few minutes later, just like I predicted, she crossed the fences. I waited for another few minutes before heading out of my room and up the stairs.

Skye's POV

I tossed in my bed, the hatred and anger threatening to consume me. I've never felt such violence in me before but it was there in my blood and wasn't leaving. I heard the door open and I thought it was Natasha as usual coming into my room to try and seduce me. "Nat, just leave." I said.

I wondered why I couldn't take her to bed. Something deep inside of me kept refusing her.

Just then, I felt a large hand clamped around my wrist and before I knew it I was cuffed. I struggled to get up and in a flash again,my other wrist was cuffed to the bed. Only one person could be this sneaky.

"Robin!" I yelled his name in anger. He turned on the light.

"At your service alpha." He said in a mock bow.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" I demanded in anger.

"What is right." He said.

"Take off the cuffs now." I ordered him.

"No can't do." He said and the door opened. Ava walked in and the sight of her heightened my hate.

Ava's POV

I walked into Skye's room and saw Robin had already cuffed him to the bed.

"It was really tough but I did it." He said.

"I knew you'd be in on this. That's what you're only capable of. Torturing people. Like mother and daughter." Skye spat vehemently at me.

I swallowed and exhaled. This would be over soon. All the vile talks, the hatred in his eyes. Everything would be over soon. I assured myself I was doing the right thing. Anna walked into the room.

"What conspiracy is this?" Skye asked.

"Sure about this?" Anna asked again. I nodded and with that,she lifted her hands up and performed a spell on him.

I watched him groan and writhe on the bed and tears welled up my eyes as memories of how we met and started flooded my head and just like a trance, like I was the one having the memory wipe, each step we took were retraced and erased. We let go of our holding hands and our wedding day, he slipping the ring on my finger was also replayed backwards. I wiped the tears from my eyes and Anna placed her hand on his head.

Soon he was quiet and he closed his eyes. I walked closer to him and placed a final kiss on his lips with tears in my eyes and hoping someday we shall meet. "I'd be waiting for you to find me again." I whispered in his ears,as a tear of mine fell on his face.

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

Camila, Luna and Lucas were already in the car. "It's done?" She asked me worriedly and I nodded in tears.

"I had a rethink. Why didn't you just erase the memory of Natasha telling him those lies?" She asked and I stared at her. For the first time,she was making a lot of sense.

"I tried to, but the hate in him has overshadowed his love." Anna said from behind me.

"How?" Robin asked her.

"The first spell I did, I tried to make him forget the hate but he just couldn't. He was resisting it. His whole body was resisting it. I believe this is the best option for him." She said.

"It doesn't matter," I said. "If I continue to stay here,Natasha will make life unbearable for me." I said.

Robin opened the car door for me. "It's now or never." He said.

I got into the car and inhaled. "Write to me as often as you can." Anna said to me from the window and I nodded and smiled. "Take good care of yourself." I told her.

"I'm only staying back so I can help you unravel this situation." She said. "I wanted to so badly come with you." She said.

I placed a hand on her cheek as Robin got into the car. "I know Anna and I really appreciate. Thank you." I said.

"Goodbye my queen. Goodbye Camila. I'll miss you both." She said as Robin started the car. "I'll miss you too." I said.

"Goodbye my dear friend, I'll see you soon." Camila said as she lowered her seat window. We both waved at Anna as Robin drove us out of the pack house.

I watched the familiar hills of the blood moons I've come to love roll by. This was it. Until I proved mother's innocent,I wasn't going to return to this place. Never. It was best Skye forgets me. It was best for us all.

It was pitch dark when we arrived at our new home. Robin assisted us in taking the luggage's into the house. "You'd be fine here." He assured me when we got in.

"I really can't thank you enough." I said to him.

"You don't need to." He assured me. "I'd be off now. I've got everything you need in the house but inform me if you need anything, anything at all." He said.

I nodded. "Thank you." I said with so much gratitude.

"Bye, Camila." He said to her before walking out the door.

"Bye." She said as the door shut behind him.

"We'd all go to bed now,tomorrow we'd unpack." I said and they all agreed.

Skye's POV

The sun ray filtered into my eyes and I stirred in my sleep. I opened my eyes and sat up. There was something missing inside of me. I felt it. I tried to recall something, anything but I couldn't. All I recalled last was walking down the streets in thoughts of Father,mother and Nat.

I let out a groan as I felt a sharp pain in my head. I struggled to get off the bed which I did and headed to the bathroom.

After a few minutes shower,I headed down the stairs. I remembered I had an appointment with the Sheriff. I walked down the stairs and saw Robin coming up. "Just the man I wanted to see. The Sheriff complained about some hounds in town,we're to apprehend them." I said.

Robin stared at me like I've grown two horns. "The Sheriff?" He asked me dumbly.

"Yes, Robin. You told me that yesterday." I said to him with a raised brow.

"Oh," he said in realization. "He told me this morning you shouldn't worry. The hounds have been apprehended." Robin said.

"That's better, these.." I began and then saw Nat walking towards us. "Oh my goodness!" I exclaimed. "Nat, you're back." I said rushing towards her and grabbing her into my arms. "You didn't tell me you were coming in today." I said and pulled away from the embrace to have a complete look at her. "You look stunning." I said to her and she stared at me in surprise.

"When did you get back from New York?" I asked her.

"What?" She asked me in puzzlement.

"I mean.." I began but Robin interrupted. "She came back last night while you were still asleep." He said.

"And you didn't tell me?" I questioned him.

"We didn't want to disturb you. Right, Nat?" He said and she nodded. I hugged her again. "I'm so glad you're back." I said, holding her in my arms again. She smiled. "Me too."

Natasha's POV

As soon as Skye left,I turned to Robin. "What did you do?" I demanded.

He stared at me. "Your plan to have Skye all by yourself is working, that's all I know." He said.

"Why is he asking me all of a sudden if I just arrived from New York when I've been in town for six months?" I questioned him. He was about to speak but I stopped him. "Wait, wait, don't tell me.."

"Don't tell you what?" He retorted.

"You wiped his memory." I said staring at him in shock.

"Shut your big mouth." He said and walked away. A small smile tugged at the corner of my lips. There was only one way to find out. I said to myself.

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

Skye returned from his outing and retired to his room. I knocked softly on his door. "Come in." He said.

I walked him and found him standing in front of the vanity mirror. "Hey, beautiful." He called me sweetly just like he always does before he met Ava.

"Oh quit your teasing, Skye." I said to him as I walked closer. He pulled me into his arms. "Why should I? I'm still upset you didn't tell you were back." He said.

"I did tell you. You probably forgot while you were thinking of someone else." I said trying to pry out information from him.

He was puzzled. "Thinking of someone else? Why would I be when I have you? I'm not just going to throw fifteen years away just like that." He said which made me recall moments with him. He was back to his old self.

"Yes, you are. You're thinking of someone else." I persisted.

"Okay fine. Who am I thinking of?" He asked me.

I looked straight into his eyes. "Ava." I said.

He stared at me in shock and bewilderment. "Ava?" He burst out laughing. "What a ridiculous name." He said as he let go of me still laughing. "I'm not thinking of any Ava neither do I know any Ava." He said.

"Sure?" I asked raising a brow.

"Who's Ava by the way?" He asked me with an intent look and I could tell he was curious to know. "It's a name I made up." I said.

"A really ridiculous name." He said laughing. There and then I knew his memory was wiped out to forget all about her. No wonder she wasn't in the house. This I must inform Fern.
