Chapter 39

Avery's POV.

"I'll get going," Leilani said, about to hurry off.

"Wait....you don't have to go now...just wait for me outside...."

"She's not waiting, she either leaves or I leave," Shannon shouted, interrupting me.

I looked at Leilani, she was terrified beyond measure, I'll have to let her go for now, but I'll call for her later.

I don't know what problem Shannon has with the poor girl.

"You can go, Leilani. I'll call you later." The girl bowed down as usual and muttered quick apologies to the angry bird and sped off.

"What exactly are you doing Avery? I just don't understand your sudden fondness for that wench of a servant." She said angrily

"Sis, I thought we've already discussed this, stop being so vile to her"

Dropping the gown, I went and shut the door.

"When you knew you were expecting a part gown, why did you ask me to get one for you."

"Oh...that...I wasn't expecting it. Leilani gifted it to me. Isn't it beautiful?"

"I don't see anything beautiful in a black gown, you're not attending a funeral." She voiced out.

"Indeed. I'm not attending a funeral but I'm attending a party in honor of my late parents. I'm still mourning them."

I could detect a tone of anger in my voice and I'm sure she detected it too.

"Hmmmmmm....so you ain't gonna wear the dress I bought for you? You're choosing a servant choice compared to mine right?" She asked with a sad voice.

Here we go again, another dramatic scene.

"No... I'm not choosing hers over yours. Let me see the beautiful dress you bought for me... I can wear Leilani's gift on another occasion."

I know exactly how to deal with such a situation, and with my powers, I know exactly what to do.

She looked delighted and hurriedly went to bring the cloth.

It was pink. Oh no.

I like pink but I just don't rhyme with it all the time.

As she was bringing the gown, I concentrated my attention on the gown, and within seconds, the fragile material got stuck to the armchair. As she struggles to pull it out... I heard the material tearing.

Now that's more like it. I chuckled in my head.

"Darn it!! Stupid! stupid!! chair." She cursed and I laughed in my head.

"Oh, my God! The gown!" I exclaimed moving to her.

She was utterly frustrated and she kicked the chair and dumped the torn gown on the floor.

"I'm sorry Avery, the gown is torn. I must have mishandled it." She said in a sad tone.

The sadness in her voice was evident and I almost felt guilty but I didn't let myself.

"It's ok. I'll wear it some other time. I'll get it stitched." I consoled her.

"No...you don't have to. Wear the gown that girl got for you, it's pretty cool." She said and I smiled a thank you.

"I met Erik, he said he came to say hi....so tell me, what's steaming?" She asked and I feign shyness.

"Nothing...he just came to give me something."

I've decided to activate my plan here, if truly they are in love with each other, I'll find out.....jealousy is the key factor I want to use.

Shannon is a very jealous type......I know her likes and dislikes.

"Something?" She has a confused look on her face.

"Yes....it was very beautiful....very stunning and shiny... I love it."

Shannon loves such things, her collections are there too but mine exceed hers.

"Can I see it?"

There was an Iota of doubt in her voice and I'll love to confirm her doubts soon enough.

I wonder how she'll react, the sense of making her jealous is giving me a tingling sensation.

I walked towards my collection and brought the beautiful piece of earrings for her to see.

"Wow....they are uhmmmm..beautiful and precious." She admired the earrings.

"Yeah...I'm impressed by it. They must be costly." I commented.

I looked at her face, they were void of emotions, and there wasn't any sign of jealousy in them.

It got me more confused, are they dating?

I don't even know what to think anymore.

She handed the earrings to me and excused herself. That's odd, Shannon loves a party, I was thinking she'll stick around and talk about it but she just walks off. I got more confused.

I was glad she left, I was feeling sleepy anyway.

I sprawled on my bed and Xander came to my mind, I immediately grabbed my phone to check if he'd replied to my message but nothing. He viewed my message but didn't reply.

This is fair Xander. I screamed in my head.

As usual, all I get in return from Kira is a scoff...crazy wolf.

Once I'm done with my meeting tomorrow, I'll commence my training. I need to improve my fighting skills. I've learned some basic skills about fighting but that's all to it. I never really pick interest in fighting, I'm more of a book person.

I can read all day if I'm given the opportunity, reading about histories, things to do to keep the Pack stronger and growing and so much more ... I always love the comfort of my room.

But... That was my past life, right now I need to practice my fighting skills and my newly found powers.

My head rilled in the aspect of my powers, who will I train with and where will I do it?

The question brings doubt into my head.

‘That's where Xander comes in, he knows you have powers...plus the fact that he's a very skilled warrior and he knows this Pack at the back of his hands...he can help Avery.’ Kira explained and I smiled.

"I know Kira, I'll talk to him at the party," I muttered to her.

"And what if he doesn't appear at the party? Our mate is angry with you and I'm sure you're aware of it."

"If he doesn't show up, I don't mind going over to his house or calling for him," I said, getting a hold of my pillow and hugging it tightly.

Kira growled and I knew she was in support of my decision.

I hold the pillow tighter, and with a smile on my face, I doze off, not forgetting to set an alarm to wake up in time.

I sometimes wake up before the alarm.

************************************

Shannon's POV.

As I pace my room, I can't help getting angry at everything I think of.

First is Avery, the girl makes me feel superior to her and then makes herself superior, the new servant seems to have found favor in her eyes.

I don't give a darn about the servant... The only thing getting me pissed right now is Erik.

I know he's trying to get her attention but ...not cool at all...

Creating a mind link wasn't so difficult with him, he always allowed me to access it no matter what.

‘Get your ass here this instant!’ I shouted at him.

‘Woah baby... What's up? Are you in Avery's room?’ he asked calmly.

‘Stupid... I'm in my room. Get yourself here and make sure you're not seen.’ I ended the link before he could utter another word.

Avery! Avery!! Avery!!!

Why do I have to share everything of mine with her, even my mate?

Dang!... I took a flower vase and hit the floor hard... All these shits are making me cry.

I heard my door opening...

"Lock it!" I ordered.

"Baybee...what's up with the angry mood? We have a party to attend, you know." He asked playfully, I don't wish to turn around and face him, seeing his face might dissolve my resolve to stay angry.

"The party your mom planned to celebrate her victory in killing the Luna and the Alpha right?" My voice was oozing anger.

I know I shouldn't have made the statement but I was too angry to care.

"Hey...watch your tongue...you were there when the murder took place...you didn't bother to stop it, so technically you're not a saint either." He said, almost shouting.

"Keep your darn voice down...you're in my room. Stupid mate!"

"You're jealous, right? Avery must have shown you the earrings I bought for her... I never knew you to be a jealous bitch." His voice was calmer this time. Getting angry when I'm angry is a lost cause.

"That I don't show that I'm jealous doesn't mean I don't. You have several girls for sex and you're thinking of fucking my sister tonight... I have no problem but you bought her something so precious without thinking about me. How silly." I turned to face him after expressing my point.

"Awwnnn baby, even your chiding gets me hard, you know my crazy urge for holes...you ain't with me the whole time, so I'm sorry. Look what I got for you."

He said opening a box that revealed a beautiful set of earrings and a necklace.

I rushed to him and grabbed it, "it's beautiful."

"Don't worry baby, everything will soon fall into place..just endure for much longer." He said, hugging me... I felt his hard arousal budging into my pelvis and I knew how the afternoon would be spent.

I got such a horny mate after all.
