Chapter 78

Erik's POV.

My mom came over to the crying servant and put a hand on her head, she began an enchantment and pretty soon the girl vanished from the room.

I don't care whether she killed her, all I want to know now is what is happening to me?

How am I hallucinating about Avery and at the verge of killing another woman because of my wants of her.

"Get dressed."My mom ordered and I walked into the dressing room in daze, I just couldn't understand what had just happened to me.

I've never been in want of any woman so badly, even the thought of her makes my dick twitch and it was very irritating to me.

I'm not such a sex freak to freak over a woman...she's just like every other woman...yeah I want her but not to the extent of hallucinating about her and torturing another woman.

My mom is going to kill me after what I've just done, she doesn't like ruining her plans.

"If you spend the whole night dressing up...you'll not be able to sleep." I heard my mom's voice interrupted my thoughts.

I hurriedly dressed up and walked out of the dressing room, "I'm sorry mom, I didn't know what came over me....but I promised that it would never repeat itself again, I'm sorry mom." I apologized and I was expecting a shout from her but she smiled.

What the fuck!

Did she just smile?

"It's okay, I understand. Come, you need to rest." She said calmly and I went to her like a bot.

I've always loved my mom dearly and I'll forever love her.

I sit down and rest my head on her laps, "Mom, this is strange, I was thinking of Avery and I thought she's the one I'm fucking but....but.....I don't know what happened, all these is strange and I can't explain it...it's driving me CRAZY mom!" I vent my frustration out and mom kept patting my head.

She was silent and I know that when mom is silent she's definitely thinking hard about something and I know better not to disturb her.

"It's not your fault, it's not your fault at all and I'll find out what has caused all these. It's something beyond ordinary,it's something out of your control so don't blame yourself and I'll handle everything just fine...no one can beat us at our own game...no one." She muttered and I nodded.

I'm super glad that he's not angry with me, I hate it when she's angry or not happy with me...mom has suffered a lot and I'll make sure she gets all the happiness she needs, I'll make sure of it.

"Mom?" I called.

"Mmmm." She answered, her fingers still stroking my hair.

"Why did you want Leilani to stay over after dinner last time?"

My mom had been asking about Leilani even after that day, it still surprised me because she'd never put interest in any servant before. I know Leilani is different from the rest of the servants and she's unique in her own ways but she's nothing out of the ordinary, the goddess just bestowed her with beauty and uniqueness of her own but my mom has a big interest in her.

"It's nothing son, she's just ummm weird, I don't know how to explain it but the first time I touched her, it felt as if she shocked me and it was very surprising because nothing of such have ever happened to me me before...I'm thinking she more than met in the eyes...just look at her, she's so different from others." She explained and I chucked.

"Mom, you're over thinking. I believe that she's different and unique but that's all to it, nothing extraordinary about her, she's a good fighter but she has her flaws too, many flaws, she is afraid of Avery like fuck though they behave like sisters sometimes but I'm sure there's nothing more to Leilani than her exceptional beauty and those strange eyes.... Don't worry mommy, I'll keep an eye on her and report any slight thing I find out to you but stop worrying about her, she's just a servant and if you want her, once I become the alpha, I'll get her to start working for you. I explained with a big yawn.

I'm definitely sleepy.

"Mom...I need to sleep and thank you for rescuing me." I said standing up.

"Just be careful and come to me tomorrow so I'll check you alright?" She asked, standing up to face me.

"Yes mom, I'll definitely come." I assured her and she smiled at me.

"Mom?" I called when she started walking towards the door.

"Yes, what's it?" She asked, halting on her steps and turning towards me.

"What did you do with the maid?" I asked out of curiosity, mom had just vanished the girl and I'm wondering what she'd done.

I've seen her draw life out of creatures and I know that style but I've never seen her do what she just did with anyone.

It's strange.

"Don't worry, I didn't kill her besides she's useless to me...I just erased her memories of what you did to her and teleported her to her room in the maids quarters. She'll be fine." She said, walking away.

She removed her spare key from the door and jammed my door.

That's my mother and I'll always love her no matter what anyone says or thinks of her.

A knock sounded at my door a few minutes later and I immediately got her scent.. Shannon... What's she doing here by this time?

"Come in, baby."

She entered and there was worry all over her face, she hurried toward me and immediately hugged me.

Inhaling her scent, I immediately felt this inner solitude, "what are you doing here at such an odd time?" I asked her and she withdrew from the hug.

"What do you mean by odd time? Is this the first time I'm coming here so late in the night?" She asked, clearly annoyed by my question.

"Hey...chill, I'm just surprised and you didn't tell me you were coming to see me today." I told her, kissing her knuckles.

"Oh please, just tell me you're not happy to see me...I usually come here whenever I wish, least when you're not with one of your numerous fuck girl, I told you you're stopping that shitty behavior once you mark me, I can't risk getting burned due to your womanizing nature." She explained and I smiled at her, such a strange crazy one of a kind.

"I've heard you bae, I'm not complaining. I'll do as you've said..have I ever disobeyed you before?"

"Oh yeah...when your mom is concerned, you always disobey me....I know your mom comes first before me, so don't try to play sweet." She said, rolling her eyes and I chuckled.

"Stop laughing, you scumbag...I'm not happy that you always listen to your mom and I'm sure you'll choose her over me in any situation." There was a note of seriousness and anger in her voice and I know that if I don't take control of the situation, she's going to escalate it and bring issues between us and that's the last thing I need now.

Having a fight with my mate is not going to favor me at all, I still need her and I love her.

"You know I love you Shannon, why are you disputing that?" I asked calmly.

"I'm not disputing it but the fact still remains that you love your mom way more than me...you'll choose her any day and any time over me." She kept emphasizing on the topic.

True to her words, I love my mom and in any situation.... I'll choose my mom over her but I pray such a situation never arises because I loved her too.

"Bae...don't stress yourself over this...I love you and that's what matters."

"Yeah...i know that's what you'll say. What happened to you?" She asked, looking at me probably waiting for answers.

"I don't understand your questions, what do you mean by what happened to me?" I asked her back and sincerely I have no idea about what she's talking about.

"I'm talking about the escapade with the maid...what the hell happened to you..? You're not the type to lose control."

"I know but who told you?"

"Your mom told me over the phone and I'm here on her command." She explained and I smiled.

"So you wouldn't have come if she hadn't asked you to come over?"

"I'll have still come but she told me how you nearly killed a maid thinking it was Avery...what the fuck was wrong with you, did you hate her that much?" She asked with a chuckle.

"No really but mom has promised to look into the issue tomorrow and I'm sure she'll come up with a solution." I explained to her and she shrugged.

She's clearly not interested in hearing about my mom, a jealous mate.

"Now that you're here.....let's have some fun okay?"

"I'm not interested....your mom said I should not get intimate with you for any reason, you can call her to confirm." She replied, going to the other side of the bed.

Wow!

That's strange but I hope to get to the root of this soon.
