Chapter 36 Surprise Visit
Chapter 36 Surprise Visit
ANDREW'S POV.
It's been a day since Elle's been at the castle. I haven't seen her or heard any word from her. Thankfully Simon told me she is up and ok. She hasn't told them what happened when Elizabeth was in control and Simon's scared she's not telling him everything.
And she also told them the war is in six fucking days. Just great.
At least he said she looks happy.
That makes me both happy and sad at the same time. Is she happy to be away from me?
Uh I need to stop torturing myself with these questions.
I hear a knock on my door and I pretend to be asleep. The door opens and I instantly knew who it was.
"Get up dumbass."
He smacks my ass and I don't move, trying not to show any reaction. What the hell is wrong with this dumb fuck.
"I know you're not sleeping." He whispers in my hear.
Did that dumbass just spit on my face?
"Ok. You asked for it."
He pulls the sheet off me and drags me off the bed. I drop with a loud thud and I groan. "What the hell is wrong with you Chris?!"
"You wouldn't get up, so I dragged your ass out the bed instead. So if you think about it, it's your fault."
Everything is my fault.
"Get up, take a shower. You have a pack to protect."
I crawl off the ground onto the bed with my comforter in my hand and lay back down to drown in my sadness.
"Ooh no." He pulls the sheet off me again and pulls me out of the bed and I crawled back in the bed again.
After two more times I got fed up and punched him in the stomach and stumped my feet in the bathroom and took a long shower. My mom made breakfast for both of us and Emma.
Totally not awkward.
Chris and Emma finished before me and left to get some supplies needed in town. I step outside and a familiar curly head steps in front of me with anger and worry all over her face.
"Where the hell is my sister?"
......
ELLE'S POV.
"Simon would you stop?!"
"No. I want to know what happened to you."
"And I told you it's nothing to be worried about?"
"Who did you see Elle?"
"No one. Elizabeth was just being a bitch."
I have been lying to Simon. It's not that I don't trust him, I just don't want to worry him or anyone else.
I don't want to tell them my dead mother told me I only have one more shot in my succubus form then Elizabeth will go to goddess knows where.
He sighs in defeat. "Fine, but please if anything comes up you tell."
"Sure."
He spaces out again. "I got word from Cristian. He wants to see you."
"Did he say why?"
"No. He just said it was urgent."
I leave Simon in the living hall and go straight to Cristian's office. I open the door. "Hey you wanted to see me?"
"You little brat!"
I look in complete shock. "Hi Anna."
"Hi Anna." She mimicked me. "Come give me a hug you bitch." She gives me the tightest hug. I give Cristian a look that asks 'What the hell is she doing here?!'
And he gives me a look saying 'I don't know it's your sister!' I roll my eyes at him.
"I-I'm going to give you girls some privacy."
"Yeah you do that." Anna and I said in unison with a not so polite tone.
Cristian leaves the room and Anna holds me at arms length and looks all over me. "Well you're ok. That's for starters." She drops her hands to her side and say, "Now I want to know why the hell my sister didn't think to call me when she is literally leading a war against demons and might I add beside the man who rejected you and led you to running away from your pack. And what am I hearing about you being Luna?"
"I guess we got a lot to catch up huh?" I nervously laughed.
"I'm not laughing." She said dead serious.
"Right."
"Elle it's not fun hearing your sister was taken by demons. They could've killed you!"
"I know but I didn't want you to get involved. You just met your mate and I didn't want to drag you away from your happiness."
"Elle I'm your sister. I don't want you to think you can't come to me for anything."
"I know but-"
"Shut up." I look at her like really? "I am your big sister and I am responsible to keep you safe and I will not just sit back hoping the best for you." She pauses and sighs. "I am fighting with you."
If she gives me another reason to love her. I instantly give her the tightest hug, "Thank you."
"You still haven't answered my question. Andrew? Pack Luna?"
"We've gotten closer." She raises an eyebrow like what the fuck am I talking about. "I think am in love with him."
She grabs my face and starts examining me like a doctor. I slap her hands away from me. "What the hell are you doing?"
"I think that the time I have been gone you've gotten mental." I roll my eyes and sigh. "Elle he's a jerk!"
"He's changed!"
"Haven't they all. Elle he rejected you!"
"I know!" I practically screamed at her. I instantly feel bad talking to her like that. "I know. But I can't help my feelings for him." I said more softer.
"Uggh!! I just don't like him." She stops and look at me confused. "Then why the hell are you at the vampire castle? With the man, might I add that he is so hot, you had something with? I am still not clear about that one."
"It's complicated." She rolls her eyes and give the explain look. I sighed and told her all the things that happened that led me here.
How I felt about Cristian, what he did that made me leave and went back home. Me being a crybaby couldn't stay at home so I went over to Andrew's. How they let me stay and agreed to help me and fight with the vampires. How Andrew and I got closer, until he told me he loved me and I couldn't say it back, him getting mad and leaving and me running after him and the demons kidnapping me and when they got me back I wasn't ready to talk to him so I stayed here.
I said all that in more detail and a little too fast so I tried catching my breath.
"And did I mention that Cristian is still engaged to the red headed bird neck?"
She stares blankly at the wall, processing everything I just said. "Thank goddess I left." She whispered but I still heard her and gave her a glare. "Sorry. So basically Cristian and Andrew are in love with you and you love them both but you can't choose..?" She asked so confused.
"That's my point! I know who I want!"
"Then why aren't you with him?!"
"I'm scared." I whispered. "What if I'm making a mistake?"
"Tell you what. I'll check him out for you, as much as I don't like him. I'm going to see if this man is good enough for my baby sister. Deal?" She asks with her pinky out.
I look at her finger out, thinking over it.
What the hell? Fuck it. I enter twine my pinky with hers. "Deal." We kiss our thumbs sealing the deal.
We say our goodbyes and as Anna's about to leave Cristian walks in. She gives him a deadly glare and growls at him and he looks at her confused and slightly worried.
He closes the door and whispers, "Your sister hates me."
......
ANDREW'S POV.
"Yeah put the guns in the shed."
"As the rest of them?"
"Yes but put them differently. Our regular guns to the right and the special ones for the war to the left. It's a really big shed."
"Yes Alpha."
"And ensure to use the special gloves!"
Now that I got all the weapons out of the way and Chris and Emma got the supplies that people needed in town, I think that's all for today. No one is allowed to be hunting or to be outside too often so we're being careful.
I close the door to my office and on my back home only to find Anna sitting in my living room. "Hey." I said confused.
"Hi, your mom let me in."
"What are you doing here Anna?"
"What do you want with my sister?"
I pause at the question, slightly caught off guard. I think over her question and the words that came up first is what I said. "I love her." I pause and walk over to a single cushion and take a seat. "I'm in love with her. Your sister is not someone I wanted but I need her. You might not like me for what I did to her or how I allowed the pack to treat you poorly and I have to say I am so sorry for that but please do believe me that I wouldn't want to hurt Elle in any way possible, not again."
"How can I trust any word you're saying right now?" She pauses and sits up to the edge. "Andrew, this is my sister we're talking about. She has been through too much trauma to just have some scum bag, no offence, weasel his way back into her life just to break her heart again. I won't be around that much. And lets say you do break her heart, where do you think she's going go? She'll probably just go back to Cristian."
Hearing his name and Elle running to him angers me so damn much. I realized I had my fist clenched and I slowly unclenched them. "I can't get that girl out of my head, she's the first thing I think about when I wake up hoping that she'll walk through my door and tell me she.." I stop before finishing what I was going to say.
Anna sighs and looks at me with sympathy and less hatred than before. "Look, I already knew that you loved my sister since you said you loved her. Because not just any man has that look in his eyes while talking about a girl and not love her. And that's all I want for my sister. She having someone in her life that loves her back." She pauses for a second and continues. "I can tell you this. She cares about, she really does. So you keep doing what you're doing. She might come around."
Might. That's a small word yet as a huge meaning. What if she doesn't?
"And don't be an ass. I still have my eye on you." I laugh at the seriousness on her face. "I'm not joking."
I stop laughing and look at her sincerely. "I know."
After a while of awkward silence she asks me a question that kind of scared me.
"Andrew, can I ask you a favor?"
