Chapter 43
Avery's POV.
I hurried out of the boring party and headed straight to the chauffeur that brought us to the party. To my dismay, Leilani wasn't there.
To make matters worse, Xander kept thwarting all my attempts to mind link, and I can't mind linking Leilani because she's not a member of my pack.
All this is giving me a headache, why was I so hyper anyway? I didn't do anything wrong.
Did I?
‘Calm down and trace their scent.’ Kira told me calmly. I can't believe she was calm, I took a deep breath and opened all my senses of smell to the environment.
I perceived a different scent but I immediately got a waft of Leilani's and Xander's scent and u followed it to the garden.
I saw two shadows getting cozy with each other and I thought I was gonna pass out, but I moved closer and it wasn't their scent.
I hurriedly passed the young couple and I saw Leilani.
"Leilani, what are you doing here all alone?" I asked her, my eyes searching for Xander, his scent still lingers around but it was strong.
"Oh...Luna Avery, I'm sorry I left you there, the guy I was dancing with wanted to come out for fresh air and I don't want to disturb you on your date, so I followed him." She explained, and I was glad I found her.
"Where's the guy with you?" I asked, trying very hard to sound simple.
"Xander....he's gone, he seems pissed off. He's a very nice guy but something is bothering him and he wouldn't share it with me, he said I won't be able to help him and I let him be. After he left, I was mesmerized by this garden so I decided to spend time here a little longer."
Well... Xander is angry with me, that's certain and I don't know where to find him.
"Are you alright?" She asked calmly, she must have noticed my worried expression.
"Yeah. I'm fine, let's get some rest."
We got home and Leilani headed to her quarter. Once I'm done discussing with the elders tomorrow, she'll be staying close to me. I want her close.
The servants trailed behind her as she went, I'm sure they're gonna bombard her with questions tonight.
As I got closer to my room, a familiar scent surrounded the air, lavender..earth...masculine... I can't place it, I can't define the smell but I know who it was.
Xander!
Xander is in my room, I increased my pace, but upon reaching the door, I was hesitant.
‘Open the door, he already knows we're here.’ Kira growled at me.
Easy for her to say, she's just eager to see him close. I'm eager but I'm a little scared at the same time.
‘You've got a problem darling, did you do anything huh?’ Kira asked.
Well...technically... I did something and I didn't.
I pried open the door and his scent welcomed me with full force.
"Welcome, Luna Avery." He muttered.
He was sitting on one of the chairs in my room.
My mate got lots of guts.
I entered the room and locked it immediately.
"Uhmm...hi Xander." I stuttered and he gave me this evil smirk that got my heart beating faster.
"Come here, baby." He ordered but I stood my ground.
The room seems to be heated despite the cool room temperature, the gown suddenly becomes stuffy.
"I need to change Xander, I'll be back soon," I said about hurrying off.
"You can change here." He said, standing up and advancing towards me.
I growled at him despite the state I was in.
"Don't give me that look darling, you're my mate. Can't I see you naked?" He asked in indignation and I whispered lightly.
"Answer me, my love, can't I see you naked? When I saw you in my dream, you were an irresistible temptation." He was a few feet away from me now and I wish to hold him in my embrace and have a feel of him.
Kira whined at the thought of that, well I'm not the only one who needs him. It looks like I'm not the only one having hot dreams.
"Of course, you can see me naked, but I don't think you'll be able to control your wolf, like you said, I'm irresistible. And I see how hard you fought to control yourself during our last kiss." I put my hands on my hips trying to sound brave and scold him.
‘You're only adding to your troubles, just letting you know.’ Kira said with a chuckle, she just loves seeing me in a tight spot.
"I think you're the one who's supposed to control me."
"I can control you, but not right now. We need to talk." I said walking into my changing room.
Xander is angry, jealous, and horny. I could feel his scent but I don't have time to satiate his sexual hunger, I need to explain things to him.
I quickly changed into my very long and zero sexy nightgown and went to meet him. I got the nightgown last year on a shopping trip, Shannon had termed it a nun nightgown and I couldn't agree less.
He looked at me and smirked, "if you think dressing like a nun would change my ideas, then you have no idea how crazy I might be."
"No matter how crazy you are, you need to chill out, I have something important to discuss with you."
He sneered at me and came closer to me.
"I thought you needed space?" There was a wave of icy anger in his voice.
"Yes, and I'm so sorry for demanding space. I was just a bit confused." I explained and he scoffed.
"Does the space include you getting cozy with that pathetic womanizer? You were even flirting with him dammit!" He growled and his eyes began to turn black.
His wolf is angry and jealous, I could see how he's struggling to keep him in.
Talking alone won't work, for now, his control over his wolf is very little now because he is angry with me.
I rushed towards him and hugged him deeply to my bosom. "I'm sorry Xander, I'm sorry. Believe me, there's nothing between me and him." I whispered into his ear.
His scent filled me, and I realized how much I've missed him.
He calmed down a bit, holding me tighter to his body as if he wanted to merge me into him. Had I been some fragile one, I'd have gotten some broken bones.
He drew back partially, raised my chin, and crashed his lips on mine.
Heat spread through my body as our lips collided, I was shocked but I was quick to respond to his kiss.
I can't anger him more by teasing him.
Our lips moved in sync, and he thrust his tongue deep into my mouth and explored it with bold eroticism.
The kiss was gentle at first, but it turned into a punishing kiss that I can't seem to keep pace with him.
He groaned into my mouth and hardened the kiss, I let out a moan unknowingly and one of his hands found my boobs and fondled it.
The garment seemed to be a hindrance to him. Finding a soft spot, he ripped it away and cold air hit the part of my exposed skin.
His thumb and forefinger caress my nipple which has risen into taut peaks.
I moaned in his mouth, he ended the punishing kiss. As his mouth leaves mine, I began to take in aid greedily, it looks like I've been starved of oxygen.
Another rocketed feeling hit me when I felt his moist tongue playing with my nipple.
I let out a gasp and grabbed hold of him tighter to prevent myself from falling onto my knees.
He stopped his pleasurable torture and took the whole nipple into his mouth, sucking, and biting me playfully.
I could feel my femininity come alive with a wet sensation.
"Xander...please," I whined, but my mate was beyond listening.
Though I was pleading, I didn't know what I was pleading for.
Was I pleading for more? Or was I asking him to stop?
I had no idea but now is not the time to start all this.
As if listening to my thoughts, he immediately pulls away from me. He staggered backward as if he were in a daze.
"I'm sorry." He whispered, though it was just a whisper, I could hear him loud and clear.
I tried to move closer to him but he flinched back, "not now Avery, stay away for now." He warned, his voice sounding more like a growl.
"Xander.." I called out to him, my voice more like a whisper.
He looked at me, and I gasped. His eyes were almost black, his wolf wished to mark me.
I started getting closer to him, intending to grab him close to myself.
As if sensing my resolution, he shifted and rushed towards my window and leaped off.
"Xander!"I almost shouted.
"No! No Xander...." I hurried to the window and I could see him rush towards the path I usually take into the woods.
