Chapter 45
Avery's POV.
I waited to hear his response but he's just staring at me with a bland expression.
"Talk to me Xander." I coo.
"I'm thinking baby, all this is getting my brain boiling. Especially the scarlet witch part. I'm a prominent part of the pack warriors and we've been noticing some odd stuff."
"What's it Xander, you need to tell me everything you know." My voice sounded a bit desperate, but what can I do...I'm a desperate Luna right now.
"Perhaps the reason the pack elders haven't discussed it with you was due to the fact that you just lost your parents." His voice was undeciding.
He's probably deliberating whether it's right to tell me whatever it's in his mind or not, but I'm the Luna..he shouldn't hide anything from me.
"I'm the Luna, Xander. If that woman could think of having a party less than four days after my parents died, I have the right to know more disturbing issues...do tell me what disturbs you. But if you think I shouldn't know it, hold it..I don't want to force words out of your mouth."
"It's your right to know Avery. Well we've found some very strange things happening in the pack, your father was addressing the issue before he died, but now everything falls on you." He explained calmly.
"Be precise Xander, what strange happening?" I asked, peering into his eyes.
"Some dead wolves and some strange creatures. It's hard to tell what killed them, they seemed to be drained...there were no injuries or physical wounds on most of them but they were lifeless. I've been in battles ever since I was assigned to be one of the pack defenders but I've never seen anything like it."
There was confusion and pain in his voice.
It must be Erik's mother's doing, and I need to get to the root of this before more lives are lost.
My pack is in danger and I am in danger.
"It's definitely something supernatural. Whatever you just said is beyond ordinary and we need to stop this fast." I said, my heart was beating fast and Xander hold me close to his body.
My pack wolves and some innocent creatures are dying. This is getting out of hand, what's Ms. Deborah doing with them...how is she able to drain their powers.
I began to hyperventilate because I couldn't take it all in. Such panic attacks hardly happen to me, but this was too much to take it.
Xander became alarmed and held me tighter... Calming me down.
He was restless and I tried to calm down but I just couldn't.
"What's happening to me?" I asked within gasp.
Breathing is becoming more and more difficult.
"You need to calm down Avery, please you have to calm down." There was panic in his voice.
He took me in a bridal style and headed somewhere quickly, I had no idea where but breathing was becoming difficult for me.
Why is this happening now?
I felt anger, pain, sorrow, anguish and everything was turning my inside.
My body temperature began to rise and the sudden urge to shift began in me.
"Xander...you..you need to drop me please."I demanded in a shaky voice.
"I can't drop you...you're burning up, I saw a lake while I was coming...we'll be there soon. Just hang on my love." He was running now, almost breathless.
‘Kira... What's happening...please you have to calm down.' I begged my wolf but she growled and whined in pain.
What's wrong with Kira... I hope she's fine... I have to shift and I have to do it as soon as possible or the pain might never stop.
"Please drop me...it's a request..PLEASE!" I grunted
Xander kept running..... Darn stubborn mate!
"Xander!!!" I growled out his name and I felt my claws growing... I used it to tear his chest and push myself out of his arms.
The movement surprised both of us cause we landed on the floor and I rolled away from him. I didn't know I injured him, I just wanted to shift and it was painful.
It's almost like my first shifting transformation. Pain wrecked my body.
"Avery!" Xander called out, stood up and came running towards me but I growled at him.
"Stay away for now...please...stay away." I begged not wanting to hurt him.
I let out an ear piercing scream and I felt my bone cracking.
"Kira!!!" I howled.
I don't want anything to happen to my wolf. What's happening to me?
My bone began to break and arranging itself, I clenched my teeth hard, but the pain was unbearable.
I've transformed before and I felt this similar pain.
Is it possible to transform again?
I growled hard as I shifted into a wolf.
I felt powerful, I felt surprisingly good.
"Holy Mother Goddess!" Xander shouted and I looked at him for the first time... I just underwent another painful thing in my life.
When did shifting become so painful... Yeah it's painful but it's less than two seconds. It's only the first shifting transformation that's really pain filled.
"You're magnificent Avery" Xander exclaimed looking at me.
My wolf was big and strong, I could feel it.
What on goddess of the wolves just happened.
I had a transformation... My wolf had become bigger, stronger and probably faster...
I let out a loud howl and I felt good.
I bend down and nuzzle Xander's face with my nose.
He chuckled. "You're so big right now...so big,beautiful and fluffy." He said rubbing my white furs.
I love his touch...
‘Should I carry you?’ I asked through the mind link.
I doubt if he'd understand my wolf growls.
"That's so crazy Avery, how about we have a race?"
I took a leap and gave a growl as a sign of my excitement.
I'm still awed by my transformation but I want to test my new capabilities with this new form of mine.
Xander let out a chuckle looking at my excitement.
He shifted within seconds and my wolf is just a bit higher than his... But he was still magnificent in all ways.
Especially his eyes... I moved closer to him and we both rubbed noses together and huffed.
He's so charming and I'm so fucking acting childish. I muttered and chuckle..but of course the chuckle came out as a growl.
'I'm not gonna talk about your painful transformation for now but all I have to say is that you are beautiful...your wolf is beautiful, magnificent, magical and everything wonderful but darn! Your transformation is painful!'
I laugh at his outburst in my head and Kira purr at his compliments.
Kira just loves compliments.
‘Ready?' He asked.
‘Always bae.’ The excitement in me was extraordinary and I can't help it.
On his count.. We race through the woods.
As I presumed, my wolf was fast as lightning... I felt as if I was flying.
I halted when I was almost in my pack.
Xander met me like two minutes later.
He didn't wait like me... He raced past me.
My wolf was big, I'm afraid she might crash into something because of her weight.
As if reading my mind, which was technically true.... I shifted back to my old self and without warning.
I race into the pack, following the path leading to my room.
I'm gonna punch that race cheating mate when I get into my room.
"Look who's finally here!" Xander teased as I landed in my room.
I shifted back immediately.
"You cheated!" I almost shouted.
"How?" He asked to come closer to me. He was naked and that was a big distraction to me.
"You!... I don't know but you cheated." I stuttered and he laughed.
Grabbing me closer to him, "Are you sure I cheated?"
My breath quickened as I felt our naked bodies collide.
"Ye...yess."I managed to say.
"I didn't cheat. I passed you when you took time to rest." He laughed and I gave him a punch.
"I wasn't resting, I was waiting for you." I defended... That's actually half the truth.
"Were you?"
He was clearly teasing me and I'm falling for it.
"Fine...you win. Now go away...you're causing me discomfort and it's late into the night." I said, rolling my eyes.
"I'm not going anywhere without my reward for defeating your mighty wolf."
Kira growled in my head, she clearly doesn't like being defeated...my wolf loves winning,even if it's against our mate.
"What silly reward you greedy cheating wolf?" I asked seductively,pulling him closer.
"This type of reward..."
Before I could talk, he grabbed me and kissed me deeply, Iwanted to resist him but what can I do? .. I returned his kiss hungrily and shamelessly.
"Goodnight princess..." He said into my mouth and my body quivered.
I wanted him to stay but I can't allow it yet.
"Can you come here early tomorrow? I need to discuss something with you." I coo, my voice supposed to be strong but it was a bit weak.
"As you wish princess." He said and shifted.
"Hey!"
He growled as he turned as if saying ‘What now?’
"Come through the door this time and not the window." I said and laugh.
He huffed at me and leap out.
