Chapter 69

Avery's POV.

Xander began to lower his head and I just stood there.....rooted to one spot.

Not making any attempt to move away from him, I wanted him as much as he wanted me.

The God damn male pull is becoming stronger by the day and it's making us want each other and of course it would only lead to one thing.....marking.

I stood there eagerly waiting for his wet tongue to pried into my open mouth when suddenly....

"Ahhhhh..." Leilani shouted.

Her shout broke the intensity of the moment and I don't know but I was grateful and disappointed at the same time. I rushed towards her and she started rolling in laughter.

"Gotcha!" She said proudly and stood up and rushed towards me with the towel she's holding.

I saw the upcoming attack and rushed towards Xander who had an evil smirk on his face.

Before we both realized his intention, a gush of water came towards us.

I rushed back on seeing it and me and Leilani crashed into each other and we both rolled on the floor.

Xander began to spray us with water and Leilani seems to be enjoying it while I fight it off.

I used my powers and turned the pipe towards him till he got all wet too.

"Good job, Luna." Leilani said within laughter as Xander tried to stop the pipe.

Oh...this is so much fun to watch.

"Your sister is on her way down."Leilani whispered into my ear and I immediately dropped the pipe that was under my control leaving Xander wet.

His hair was wet and looking at him all wet made my pussy tightened.

I've missed him though.

"Look what you did to my beautiful clothes!" Xander shouted, feigning being mortified.

"Don't worry about your clothes, I'll lend you mine to wear." Leilani suggested in a serious tone and I rolled on my back laughing at the image of Xander in womens clothes.

I started shedding tears when my naughty side summed it to a lingerie and matching bra.

Gawwdesss... I'm gonna die laughing.

Xander rolled his eyes at Leilani's taunts.

If I have these two in my company for a long time... I'll be admitted in a hospital for a laughing condition.

"What the fuck is happening here???" I heard Shannon's voice rang into my ears and I grunted.

What do you think we're doing?

I wanted to ask her back but I kept mum.

Here comes the party pooper!

If no fun had a face..... It's gonna carve out like Shannon's face.

The girl is just a spoiled spot.

Xander's facial expression changes immediately, looking unaffected by the question thrown at no one in particular.

Leilani immediately stood up and greeted her but she didn't even acknowledge her greetings.

She was waiting for answers.

"Good morning sis." I greeted warmly as I stood up.

"Avery, what's the matter with you? What are you doing with these low lives?" She asked as she began matching towards me with mean steps.

"We're just having fun...isn't that what this trip is all about?" I asked with a wide smile.

She came to a halt right in front of me with a stern face, "what's wrong with you? How could you demean yourself so low, I mean what's all this nonsense you're doing? I'm your elder sister and it's my duty to keep you safe...stop making silly mistakes...you're the Luna of our pack, so behave like one!" She shouted at me and I gave her a frown.

"Mind the way you talk to me sister, you can't be talking to me like that. I am your Luna, so keep your voice down." I chided her in my Luna voice and she immediately bowed her head.

I should always use more of that powerful voice, especially when I'm dealing with those scumbags.

"I'm sorry, Luna Avery...I just want you to stop degrading yourself." She said in a calm voice.

Hehehe, that's how powerful my position is and I love it.

"They are my friends and you can't say such things to them, Leilani is my maid and Xander is my training partner...they're important to me as you are. Let this be the last time you'll call them names or I'll do something you don't expect!" I roared at her and stomped out of the house to get some fresh air.

Why am I so angry?

Was it because of the fact that I found out about her mating bond with Erik?

"Avery!" Shannon called but I left without answering her, Leilani followed me immediately.

"Luna...you need to change from those wet clothes please." She said half walking and running to keep up pace with me.

"Go back Leilani, I need some alone time to myself." I ordered her but I should have known better, she won't listen to me.

I headed to the tree house a few walks away from our house.

It's been a long time since I went there, the last time I visited was with my mom... I missed her so much.

I sat down beside the tree and broke down in tears.

Why's all these happening?

"Luna, please stop crying and everything will be fine. You'll be fine." Leilani comforted me as she sat beside me.

I hold her tight and cry my frustration and pain out.

She was still petting me, "everything would be fine, baby...you'll see." She assured me and I sniffed in cries.

I'm so pathetic sometimes, crying isn't my cup of coffee.

"You have to be strong, this is just the beginning." Leilani said but I was too exhausted to even ask what she meant.

"Baby.....?" Xander called and I raised my head to look at him.

He gave me a fake smile and I felt guilty for ruining the morning.

He gave me a shawl and handed one to Leilani who murmured a thank you.

"You shouldn't have flared up on Shannon like that love." He said and sat on the grass facing us.

"I know but after everything I found out last night, her presence disgust me and everything I have towards her is nothing but anger and hatred."I confessed and sniffed in another sob.

Leilani and Xander exchanged glances and they both stared at me waiting for answers.

"Where's Shannon?" I asked.

"She went inside angrily and I saw Erik following her immediately. She's really upset and burning, she's truly surprised you talked to her in such a way, that too..in front of us. I was really surprised too baby, it's like a whole new no nonsense Avery" he said and I chuckled.

"Yeah...same here too. I was shocked that I thought I'll pass out, the coolest part was when she used her Luna voice...damn! I got goosebumps." Leilani added and I laughed.

"So how was last night?" Xander asked and I snorted.

"It was crazy and at some point I was scared that the potion might not work." I said and Leilani laughed.

"Me too, the ingredients weren't complete." She affirmed and Xander's eyes nearly popped out of his sockets.

"What are you two talking about? You told me that medicine was hundred percent authentic." He asked with his hands in the air.

"Yeah...it is fully authentic when the right ingredients are complete but the one we prepared was lacking an important ingredient but I'm glad it work though." Leilani explained and Xander let out a surprised gasp.

"You're telling me you weren't sure if the medicine would work and you gave it to her?" He asked and pointed at me.

"Just forget about it Xander...I'm here in one piece and that's what matters."

Xander looked at Leilani who immediately looked away.

He must be angry and I totally understand.

"So what did you find out that makes you range on Shannon?" Xander asked again.

"Well...Shannon and Erik are mates." I said with a bitter chuckle and I could hear gasps of surprises.

Well..i was surprised too the first time I heard it.

"This is insane!" Leilani almost shouted and Xander was just too baffled to even utter a word.

"I was trying to find out more from him when the medicine wears off." I said with a disappointed voice.

"That's sad." Leilani said, shaking her head.

"We can do it some other times again though not always." Leilani said and I looked at her.

"What do you mean by not always?"

"Luna Avery...the potion can not be used regularly on the victim or his system would grow accustomed to it and it would lose its effect." She explained and I ohhhhww.

"WTF!!! What's wrong with your sister? How could she allow her mate to get close to you?" Xander asked when he found his voice at last.

I looked at him and let out a bitter chuckle.

"Well...she's desperate for my position and she's willing to do anything to get it, even if it means her mate getting me." I said and Xander wowed.

We sat there quietly enjoying the gentle breeze caressing our cold body.

"We're leaving tomorrow guys...we have so much to do once we get back." I announced and they nodded
