Chapter 52 Family problems

Chapter 52 Family problems

After I told Mia everything she started smothering me and telling me how scared she is of losing me. Then she started crying and I started comforting her. A few minutes later Veronica comes in crying and joined in, Andrew filled in his family on everything. For some reason I started crying with them.

"Are you going to tell your sister?" Mia asks.

"Crap." I've been so caught up with everything I forgot about Anna. I was thankful that Andrew didn't tell her about me being missing but I forgot to tell her anything at all. I think she should be visiting really soon too.

"Honey you know news spread like wildfire and she is definitely going to hear when she visits in two days. You're all people talk about." Veronica warns.

"Two days?!" Shit it's already been a month?

"You were missing for two weeks and you don't remember anything." Eva reminds me.

"Thanks."

"I can't hide this from her, can I?"

Veronica rubs my arm. "No honey."

Mia snorts. "Have you met your sister?" We both give her a look and she stops. "Sorry."

I sigh knowing she's right. My sister would do anything just to get something out of me, such as just a look. I swear she gets it from dad.

I smile as I remember when dad gave Anna and I the look wanting to know who ate all his chocolate. Anna ratted me out but I got my revenge, poison ivy mysteriously got in her hair while she was sleeping. Got in trouble for that too.

"Just tell her before anyone else tell her. Remember what happened when Andrew forgot to tell her about your surprise 19th birthday party last year?"

"Yeah. She and I walked in together and got pissed because she had nothing to do with it. She gave him the cold shoulder for a month until." We hum remembering.

"Did you hear Stacy met her mate?" Mia asked. I give her a look. "What?"

"Really? Gossip?"

"Word gets around and it just happens to reach me first."

"So what is she going to do with her boyfriend?" Veronica ask.

"Veronica!"

"I am an old woman and gossip gets dry."

I roll my eyes. "Fine." I turn to Mia "So?"

"Well...."

*Two days later*

With stressing over when is the next rogue attack or what Elizabeth is planning on doing; I have spent the entire day yesterday ensuring everyone that I am ok and they will be filled in when I believe the time is right. I also made sure everyone kept their mouth shut about it so the news doesn't travel to other packs aka Anna, who is coming today.

After finishing breakfast Andrew and I chose to get ready together. I step out of the shower first and wrap myself in a towel. I stand in front of the mirror wondering what I should do with my hair today. Should I straighten it? I rarely ever do.

Andrew snakes his arms around my waist from behind and kisses me on the neck. I relax in his touch and lean back on him.

"Stressed?" He ask.

"Yeah. Anna is coming in an hour or two and I'm afraid of how she'll react."

"Don't worry. She's your sister and she'll understand why you didn't tell her. Plus she's going to blame me."

I smile and look at him the mirror. "Baby, your beard."

"What, you don't like it."

"I find it sexy but don't you always shave it?" I've always wanted to shave his beard for some reason.

"You want to shave it don't you?" He asks. I nod with a grin. He sits me on the bathroom counter and hands me the shaving cream and razer.

I slap that baby on, well not literally, and I gently run the raze down his face, afraid of cutting him. I pull him closer using my legs and as much as I try to concentrate on the razor he keeps looking at me with those eyes.

I stop and look him in the eyes and he starts moving in. I accidentally run the razor down on his face and it cuts him.

My eyes widen and watch as the cut heal. I look at Andrew and he doesn't even look fazed.

"I'm so sorry."

"Baby, it's fine. Just continue."

I take in a breath and run the razor under the running water and continue. With more concentration this time, I watch as the razor run down his skin.

"Ahh!" I see a image of me screaming in pain as someone runs a blade down my arm.

I softly gasp barely noticeable and finish shaving Andrew ignoring it.

"There. Smooth as a baby's butt." I clean the razor and put it back. Andrew puts his hand under my towel and grabs my butt. He pulls me closer to him. I take a breath in and look at his lips. "We have things to do." I whisper.

"I know." He continues to look at me intently while licking his lips. My eyes avert from his plumy lips to his chocolate eyes. Without control I grab him by the neck and our lips smash together. I can say we got carried away but I refused to have sex because my sister ran through my mind again and that's just weird.

ANDREW'S POV.

After Elle left to see all the children, dad informed me in all that I should be expecting for the next five days. The night walkers wants to have another meeting alongside another pack, The Solar moon pack. They are one of the most vicious packs in the West and other packs try not to get on their bad side. Their problem is some of their members who left to be rogues are missing and you're probably wondering why they care. Well it's because they kill anyone who wish to turn their backs on them and only them should kill them.

Their psychos but this is the only way we keep our pack safe by not gaining an more enemies. They should be arriving in three days and staying for two days. Fun.

Dad leaves the office so he could get a drink because of all this chaos. I stay back in my office, looking through the book Elizabeth gave us trying to find anything else that could help other than some witch that died 500 years ago.

Jeremiah, Daniel and their men are trying to find more rogues or at least spot one to see where their coming from....

After an hour of reading I see nothing but the famous garden the witch owned. It doesn't say exactly where you could find it, it's more like a riddle.

'Where the soul of the being.'

What the fuck is that suppose to mean?

After thinking I'm getting closer, I am actually taking a thousand steps back. I feel like I'm failing Elle. I'm failing to protect her.

"That's not true dumbass."

"Thank you Damon, you make me feel so much better." I say sarcastically.

"My pleasure. Now can we go back to Elle. I want to be close to Eva again."

"No. I already told you that she's busy. We can see her later." I get up from my desk feeling parched on my way to the kitchen.

"Oh come on. Maybe she needs us."

"Then she'll mind link me." I roll my eyes and as I open the door a fist is connected to cheek. Hard.

"That's what your dumbass gets." Damon laughs.

ELLE'S POV.

"Are you going to be ok, Luna?" Sophia ask.

"Yes honey."

"And the Alpha?"

"Because he looked sad when you were gone." Benjamin adds.

"He's ok too. He was just worried about me."

"Is the same thing that happened 2 years ago going to happen again?"

I pause afraid of answering the question. "N- I hope not." I don't want to lie to them but I am scared the same thing is going to happen.

She throws her arms around me and and says, "I don't want you to die too."

I frown remembering her father died during the war. He was all she had since her mother died during child birth. I hug her tighter to comfort her.

Levi comes up to me with a bunch of roses in his hand. Looks like they came from the garden out front.

"We wanted to give you these because you didn't get to keep the first ones we got you before."

I smile and take them from him. "Thank you sweetie." I ruffle his hair and he smiles showing his two front teeth missing. He's so adorable.

I finally said goodbye to them and I return home to see if Anna got here yet. No.

Five minutes later I hear the door open and I look to see Anna rushing in with worry and anger on her face. Oh no.

"Anna I-" Before I could explain she takes me in her embrace and hugs the life out of me.

"You're lucky I'm too worried to even shout at you." She lets me go and starts feeling and looking all over my body for bruise. When she finds none she begins to yell. "Elle Cora Cooper are you insane?! Do know what it feels like hearing that your sister is in a war with demons. Twice?!"

"Let me explain."

"No need." She brushes me and sits around the counter. "Andrew already told me everything."

"When?"

"A few minutes ago."

"What did you do to him?"

"You don't think I can have civilized conversation with my sort of brother in law?" I glare at her and she sighs. "Fine. I might of punched him."

"Anna!" I shout.

"I'm sorry and I already apologized to him."

"What? After you threatened information out of him?"

"Isn't that how it's suppose to work?"

"No!"

"You know it's your fault. You made me like this."

"You can't still be on that."

"I am."

"You ratted me out!" I shout.

"And you put poison ivy in my hair!" She shouts back.

"Ladies." Jackson walks in.

"Get out!" We both snap at him and he looks at us shocked.

We both realized what we did and started apologizing. "It's fine. I just wanted to tell you both dinner is at our place tonight. Veronica is cooking jerk chicken." He rubs his hands together excitedly. "I'll let you back to your quarrelling- I mean talking. I meant talking." We all awkwardly laugh and Jackson close the door.

"I'm getting the rib!" Anna and I shout in unison.

"There is enough rib!" Jackson shout from outside.

~~~~~

With Anna and I arguing earlier it totally got our mind off the actual situation. We have not spoken to each other since then. All we do is glare at each and I can tell everyone is uncomfortable.

"I hope everyone is enjoying the food." Veronica smiles.

"I love it Veronica." We both say in unison. I huff and stuff my face with mash potatoes.

I laugh as I realize something. Pot - toes.  Y-you know? Because you take out the 'a'?.... Whatever.

Andrew rubs on my leg and I feel a little tension release.

"I'm talking to this boy," Jessica begins. Andrew instantly starts squeezing my leg. Tension back, tension back!

"A boy?" Andrew and Jackson ask in unison.

"Yeah, and I like him."

"Heck you do. You're just a baby."

"I'm 14 almost 15."

"Same thing."

Andrew grips his glass and puts it to his lips. He's really protective of her. "It's not like I'm having sex."

Andrew spits out his drink into Anna's face. She gasp and harshly wipes the punch off her face while glaring deadly at Andrew. Andrew slowly scoots his chair closer me.

"Help me." Andrew whispers through our link.

I tap him on his leg telling him he'll be fine.

"Did you hear that?" Jackson asks Veronica.

"Yeah? She already told me and I definitely approve sweetie."

"Thanks mom."

"Who is it?" Andrew asks.

"You know him. Max."

Andrew spits his drink out again. "Basket ball Max?" Oh right, Andrew hates him because they would always play against each other and he's his best opponent.

Jessica nods and the next thing she knows her brother's face is covered in mash potatoes. Jessica slaps her hand over her mouth to muffle her laugh.

"Anna!" I get up from my chair and walk around to her. "Would you stop being such a bitch and talk to your little sister?" I cry.

"Oh baby come here." She takes me her embrace.  "I'm sorry." She cries.

"Are you ok?" I ask Andrew through our link.

"I'm fine just keep her away from me." I smile and later in the night I got her cleaned up and we talked. She agreed to stay longer so she could keep an eye on me but she's going to need more of her things.

~~~~~

*THREE DAYS LATER*

Today is the day that the Night walker pack and the Solar moon pack are coming here and everyone is getting things ready for their arrival.

They should be here any minute and I eagerly look around for anything out of place. From what Andrew told me, they sound tough and I want to impress them. Andrew tried to calm me down but I think I'm adopting from my sister. Oh no. I'm becoming a maniac.

I hear howls which signifies their arrival. Andrew and I walk side by side to the front with Chris and Emma by our side and we wait as they get out of their cars.

Unfamiliar faces step out of the first car and they all look so intimidating. Everyone step out of the cars and each pack on one side. They stop directly in front of us and I am met with familiar, cold eyes.

You've got to be kidding me.....
