Chapter 94: Chapter 94
Ava's POV
"We'd be going back to Scotland." I said to Camila as I walked into her room. She paused in the attempt of taking off her jacket and stared at me.
"Did what I said the last time upset you? I'm sorry if.." she began but I shook my head cutting her short.
"No Camila. It's just a matter of urgency that we return back home." I said to her.
"When?" She asked me.
"After the kids graduation. It will be difficult to find a school for an almost undergraduate. They have just a few weeks to go." I said to her.
She nodded in understanding. "How do we tell the kids we're moving back to Scotland?" She asked.
"We're moving back to Scotland?"
I heard Lucas voice behind me in a provoked anxiety. I turned towards his direction and tried to smile. "Hey, love. When did you get back?" I asked him trying to divert his attention from what he heard.
"Quick enough to hear ya'll talk of moving back to Scotland. We have a peaceful life here. Why do we have to go back to what will ruin the little happiness we're getting now?" He questioned in that same provoked anxiety.
"Believe me when I say this is much difficult for me Lucas but the pack needs me. The crescents are suffering bitterly in the hands of that treacherous bastard Fernandez. What kind of alpha would I be enjoying my freedom and happiness when my people suffer in anguish? I refuse to be that kind of alpha." I said to him and he looked away in a bitter understanding.
"When do we leave?" He asked.
"Right after you and your sister's graduation." I said to him and he nodded and walked away.
I turned to Camila. "I hope the others take it as calmly as he did." I said.
"Luna might be thrilled but I doubt about the twins. What would you do?" She asked.
I shrugged. "Maybe it's time I let them know who their father is. It's time I answer the questions I've always refused to answer since they could talk." I said to her. Was I ready for that? Was I ready to show them a man who could barely even recognize me not more his children? Could I risk it?
Skye's POV
"Hey love." Natasha said in a bubbling tone as she walked up to me in the living room.
"Where have you been?" I asked her.
She curved a smile. "Don't tell me you've been missing me." She said. I knew it was far from that. Usually,I do not inquire to know of her whereabouts but she has been away from the pack house for quite some days now and that needed questioning.
She placed a kiss on my cheek. "I'm sorry if I kept you worried." She said.
I sighed. "It's okay. I should understand you can take care of yourself." I said to her. She smiled and went behind me,encircling her arms around me.
"You know,I've been thinking," she began saying.
"About what?" I asked her.
"You know,it would be extremely incredible to have a little one like you grow inside of me." She said and I knew immediately where her direction was. At the thought of that,a blurry visions of a young pregnant woman flashed in my memory. I groaned as I bent down my head.
"Are you okay? Did what I say upset you?" She asked coming in front of me.
"I'm fine. It's just this headache that keeps occurring." I said to her.
"Oh my word. I'll get you an aspirin." She said rising on her feet and heading towards the kitchen.
What was this image that kept haunting me for the past five years. Five years and still no peace in my mind.
"I sense a troubled soul."
I lifted my head to find Robin walking towards me. "Your lover's letter is probably intoxicating your mind." I said to him.
He chuckled. "You can say that again," he said sliding into a seat. I was jealous. Jealous for the fact that Robin was happy and over the years I haven't. The smiles on my face never reaches my heart and I knew it was because I lacked something.
"That aside,tell me dear friend,what troubles thy mind?" He asked me. Should I tell him of the restless nights and bewildering illusions? Should I tell him the emptiness I've felt over the years? What if Natasha gets to know I see blurry visions of a young woman? Won't I be hurting her? But come to think of it,could it be she's the one I keep seeing and I'm trying to recall? Could she be the pregnant woman? Afterall,I've lost my memory and can't remember much.
"Skye?" Robin said knocking me out of my reverie.
"Was Natasha pregnant before?" I asked him foolishly and he stared at me like I had suddenly grown out horns. The question sounded stupid to me too.
He shook his head. "No. Won't you have the idea you've got a baby? Besides,there should be a proof of the baby here." He said.
"I know. I was just wondering." I said. If Natasha wasn't the woman I kept seeing,then who was?
"Why do you ask?" He asked me.
"Well I," I began but stopped when I noticed Natasha coming. I was about to tell him the issue would be discussed later but he beat me to it when he saw her. He rose to his feet. "We shall discuss the matter further over a crush of wine. Duty calls." He said leaving. I knew why he left. He wasn't accustomed to being around Natasha. He didn't support my relationship with her. The both loathed themselves with so much passion I couldn't understand. They literally couldn't breathe the same air. It wasn't like this before I lost my memory. I keep wondering what went wrong.
"Here." She said handing the aspirin and a glass of water to me which I took. "What did he say to you?" She asked me as soon as I dropped the empty glass.
"Pack's politics." I lied to her and she nodded giving me a small smile.
Anna's POV
It's been three years since I've been thrown out of the pack house wandering on the street like the homeless dog I am. Three years and yet still no place to call home. The forest has become my place of shelter and a little cabin I have built to shield me from the stormy weather and the harsh suns.
It's been five years too since Ava and Camila left and I've been trying to clear Ava's mother's name. That was what got me in trouble in the first place and landed me out of a place I was beginning to call home.
Natasha was nothing but a snake trying to make ruins of whatever she laid her hands upon. I had discovered she was always sneaking out to meet someone,somewhere in a desolate place but I could never tell who it was and why. My powers always felt useless whenever I was around there. All I could sense was evil.
I sighed as I walked down the town's street. Trying to clear my mistress and a good friends mother's name as landed me on the streets once again. I was hopeful to clear her name all those years back and make Ava return but my hope was waning as the years roll by. What if I never clear her name? What if Ava and Skye are forever separated? No! It couldn't be. The last vision I saw of her didn't say so.
Lost in my thoughts,I brushed past an old woman almost knocking her down. I immediately apologised as I lifted her up. "I'm sorry. I had no idea you were coming. I.." I began at once and immediately stopped when I looked clearly at her face. Her gaze met mine and she was immediately frightened and she rushed past me with the speed and strength of a stallion.
"Wait!" I yelled after her,recollecting myself but she didn't wait. Before I could get close to her in an alley,she vanished into thin air. I gasped at what just transpired. How could I have lost her? She was my only ticket to save the alpha's relationship. I couldn't be wrong. I couldn't even be mistaking. I was sure. She is the sorcerer I saw in the vision,the day I held Natasha's hands as she testified against Ava's mother. I just couldn't be wrong.
