Chapter 71
Avery's POV.
"Good evening, Luna Avery." I heard someone's voice behind me immediately after training and jolted back due to the negative dark energies I felt emitting from the person.
Who the hell was that?
I was alone in the changing room and the person behind me is definitely not Leilani.
She's hanging out with Xavier.
I turned around almost immediately and found Erik's mother staring at me with a wide smile that I bet is hurting her cheeks.
I immediately regained my composure and smiled at her in return, I still didn't forget the exchange we had the day my parents died.
"Good evening ma'am." I replied, trying my best not to sound too odd or suspicious.
"Hope you're good? How's your training going?" She asked sweetly.
That's one thing about scarlet witches, they can be sweet and all convincing when they want, which can lure their prey to them and they can be fierce and very evil at the same time.
There are few good witches and Ms Deborah here isn't one of them, she's an evil manipulative being.
"I'm good ma'am and you?" I asked, looking everywhere but her.
I just feel so fucking uncomfortable with her right now.
"I'm great, my love."
Ohwww, love?
The love you're trying to kill.
I shouted in my head, some people are just lucky that they can't hear all the shits in my head about them.
"That's great ma'am, how can I be of help to you?" I asked wanting to get rid of her as soon as possible.
I have things to do tonight which include a date with her son.
Leilani had made the potion and it would be great to test it out on him again.
It's been a rigorous week and I'm so eager to try the herbs on him.
"Erik told me about you guys' date tonight so I was hoping you could come home for dinner." She said and I arched an eyebrow.
I'm sure he hasn't only told you about the dinner but about the sizzling sex he had with me.
He would have told her about everything that happened.
That's how Erik is, he never hides anything from his mother, his mother is like a god to him and he always listens to her no matter what he's asked to do.
I wonder how Shannon is coping with the mamma's boy, Erik is just too annoying.
He respects his mom but he has no regards for other women.
Silly set of people.
"My Luna, I hope you're not angry that he told me about you two dates?" She asked gently when I didn't reply to her question.
I regained myself immediately and gave out a smile.
"No, I'm not. He's your son and I don't mind if he tells you everything you need to know."
She nodded.
"And I'll be glad to join your family for dinner." I added and she smiled in satisfaction.
I wonder what they plan for me tonight....
"Thank you for honoring my invitation, Luna." She said and bowed slightly.
"You're wel...."
"You won't believe what just happened..." Leilani interrupted me by flinging the door open with a scream and halted when she saw Ms. Deborah.
Ms. Deborah peered at her suspiciously and I couldn't understand why.
"Your eyes.....they are different. Where are you from?" Ms. Deborah asked absent mindly still staring at Leilani who was obviously in shock about her.
"Good evening ma'am." Leilani greeted .
"Come closer." Ms. Deborah ordered and Leilani moved towards her with questions on her beautiful face.
Ms. Deborah touched her hair and she immediately withdrew them back as if Leilani shocked her.
"Are you okay Ms. Deborah?"I asked, rushing towards her.
"Uhmm, yeah...yeah I'm fine. I'm just dazzled by her looks, she's different." She said, still looking at her.
"Yeah...she is. She's Leilani, my maid." I introduced wonderinghow it's possible that they've never met before.
I knew that before Leilani became my maid, she spent most of her time in the garden but... Hmmm, well.. I won't stress myself about that for now.
"She's not from this pack right ?" Ms. Deborah asked and I nodded an affirmation.
"But I'm wondering how it's possible that you've never met her before." I said with a laugh.
"Uhmmm, I might have..I probably didn't keep her face in my memory, I'm not so good at remembering faces." She replied with a smile which I'm very sure is fake.
What am I saying ?
Everything about her family is fake!
"Why are you interested in her eyes? Have you seen someone with similar eyes before?" I asked and she snapped her head towards my direction.
Gotcha!
"Not really my Luna, she's just unique and she's very beautiful." She said regaining herself.
"Alright then, I've heard you. I'll be there tonight for dinner." I said, announcing the end to the boring conversation indirectly.
"Thank you Luna Avery and I'll be expecting you." She said with a bow and looked at Avery one last time before she left.
"I think Ms. Deborah likes you." I said with a chuckle a few minutes later while we changed into more comfortable wear.
Leilani laughed and rolled her eyes.
"No way please,. Did you see the way she looks at me? It creeps me out, Luna." She said, hugging herself tightly.
"C'mon, it would be a good thing if you get closer to her, perhaps you two can become best friends." I suggested and Leilani shrugged.
"Thanks for the suggestion but I'm quite comfortable with you, I don't need any other friend."
"What were you running to tell me by the way?" I asked as we headed to my room.
"Ohhhh..I almost forgot. Guess what happened between me and Xavier?" She asked, excitement bubbling in her voice.
"Uhmmmm, did you guys have sex?" I asked with an evil smirk.
Time to taunt her.
"Wait...what!? That's a crash and crazy man." She said and shoulder me gently.
The servants that saw her shoulder me gasps in surprise but I ignored them and thankful, Leilani didn't notice them or she'll start feeling bad again.
For the past few months we've been together, Leilani had grown so close to me that I felt like I've known her forever.
She's just the best and I always thank the moon goddess for bringing her into my life.
"C'mon, describe everything to me in detail. How was it?" I asked casually and she began to burn bright with shyness.
Unbelievable, is she serious right now?
She's shy?
A whole Leilani is shy?
This must be a dream.
"Sweetie, don't be a crazy shy arse, you and I know that you're the most shameless person in the whole wide world." I said it a bit louder to some hearing though even if we whisper they'll still hear it.
"Just call me a pornstar." She said with a laugh and I squeezed my mouth at her.
"Don't be surprised if I call you that..."I said daringly.
"Fine you win, please just stop it now...look how everyone is staring though they pretend they're not listening." She whispered to my ear and I chuckled.
"I'll keep quiet if you tell me what he did." I said with my head held high.
"Lost cause." She muttered and I winked at her.
"Will you tell me or should I announce to everyone here how much of a dirty talker you are?"
"Fine...I'll tell you once we're in the room." She said, trying to dodge it.
"Okay. Fine." I said and stylishly turned to see some servants staring at us.
They immediately skipped away, almost falling when they saw me look.
So much for gossip.
"Luna Avery." Someone called.
Not again!
I turned around plastering the best smile I can come up with.
"Good evening beta Erik." I greeted and Leilani greeted too.
"Good evening beautiful ones...I'm sorry Luna, I didn't know my mom would come ask you to join us for dinner." He apologized and I smiled.
"It's not a problem dear...I'll come for dinner and we'll end the evening at my place." I said and he bowed.
"I beg to take my leave then...I'll see you soon."
With that, he left.
"Leilani...check who's at the door please." I called out from the bathroom when I heard a knock at my door.
"Good morning, princess." Leilani greeted and I knew who exactly it was.
"Where's my sister?" She asked without regarding her greetings.
"She's in the bathroom,please come sit. She'll be out soon." Leilani said, closing the door.
"Aren't you supposed to be bathing her?" She asked Leilani.
"My Luna doesn't like being bathed, ma'am." Leilani replied and there was silence.
I hurried with my bathing and came out of the bathroom but not after promising to be back.
"Good evening sis." I greeted and she stood up to pay respect.
Well....looks like the last fight effect is still on.
"I'm sorry for the way I acted last time. I'm sorry for the way I talked with you.... I'm sorry sis." I apologized and it took her by surprise.
"It's nothing Avery, I'm sorry too."She apologized.
"Will you join me for dinner at Erik's place? His mom invited me." I asked and she nodded.
That's good.
Oh goddess, I pray I find out something more tonight.
