The Wallflower and the Alphas

Avery P.O.V.

What the heck just happening? Can't I believe he just sat me down on my feet and told Jake to stay with me, and left?

When I was watching him leave, I felt heartbreaking. I wanted to run after him, but Jake was holding me back.

"Elijah, wait! Where are you going?" I cried out, but he didn't turn around. He just kept on walking away from me.

"It's okay, sweetheart; he will be back." I heard Jake say, holding me behind my back.

I saw him walk around the corner, and he was gone. I didn't know I was crying. That was when I felt my cheeks wet. I lifted my hand and took my thumb, and rubbed under my eye, and I felt the wetness where my tears were falling down my face.

"Elijah, I whisper his name with my lips trembling. I didn't want to cry. I told myself I wouldn't cry over the four mates I have or anyone ever again. But no, here I am doing to opposite I said I was going to do.

But watching him leave hurt more when he had a girl all over him at that party.

"I turned around because I didn't want to watch him leave anymore. I remember crashing into Jake's chest, and I threw my face into his chest and cried and cried my eyes out.

I felt someone rubbing my back.

"Shh, it's okay, princess, don't worry." I am here. I am here." I am never leaving you, my sweet little mate." I heard Jake say into my hair, and I felt his lips kiss inside my hair.

I felt his arms wrapped around me in a tight grip. I cried in his arms for a long time.

"There, there, everything is going to be alright." I heard Andrew say, and he started rubbing my back.

"Just don't cry, beautiful; you're too pretty to be crying." I heard Matthew say.

I wanted to tell him, no, I am not; I am not pretty or beautiful at all. But I kept my mouth shut and just dug my face deeper into Jake's chest.

I wonder what Elijah was doing now; he was probably screwing some beautiful model with long legs and brains out. I didn't want to think he was with someone girl.

I should be happy he's not here. Right, I don't need him. I thought, but I was wrong. I do need him. I started letting more tears fall down my face.

I kept holding on to Jake with dear life. I was afraid he would leave me too, then I lifted my head up, and I saw Elijah's truck pull out of the parking lot of the school I hate.

Elijah P.O.V.

I can feel the wind blowing, and it's getting colder outside. It's almost fall season will be here. I can't wait for fall and wintertime, and I hate spring and summertime.

I have never liked the hot weather, except for football and baseball and swimming out of school for three months, I thought with a big grin on my face. But that is mostly it. If anything else, I hate the hot weather.

I am sitting on the porch by the lake. I wanted to come up here. It is close to the waterfall where Avery and I went as a kid. I had someone people make me a big cabin house up here.

So, I will be close by if she is in danger and if she needs me to.

I thank God my father let me buy this property after the Stones, my father's best friend; he used to be Alpha just like my father, but now I am, and Jake, Andrew, and Matthew are too.

Their fathers are best friends with my father and Jake's father.

Anyway, you know the rest. I got it built up here because of the men. So, this place is mine and the guys.

We will always be best friends and brothers. Even though we knew we would have to leave and go be with our mates when the time came.

Now, I am excited that we are close brothers and we got the girl we have always wanted since we were little. I can't stand this; I am away from her because I am a fucking coward.

Why couldn't I just tell them to go fuck their self? Now, she is going to find out I made that stupid bet. Oh, it's getting better; there is a blood-sucking vampire saying she's his queen.

Yeah, I am never going to win. I thought with a mocking laugh.

So, I am not going to worry about him and what he has plans. Right now, everything doesn't matter.

Only Avery, my sweet, pure mate. She the only thing that matters right now. I had to leave her. I just fucking left her! I cried out inside my mind.

"E, you know what would make it better?" I heard Axel say with a mocking attitude.

I was confused, and I stopped and with inside my mind to talk to Axel.

"What, huh? What do you mean?" I asked him to hope he would tell me.

"What I mean is? If you didn't leave like a pussy and stand there and comfort her." Maybe you wouldn't make her cry and tuck your tail between your legs like a big fucking baby!" Axel said with anger and a growl.

I know, okay, Axel get off my fucking back already!" I growled at my wolf. Then he left me, and I was in my own misery.

Oh, great, I had to yell at my wolf, and now he's upset with me.

But noooo, I had to be a coward, jerk, and left her begging me to stay with her. What do I do? You answer me.

I got up and left her.

I fucking left her!!!

I screamed out.

I was frustrated, and I pounded the tree by the side of the deck.

Then I heard her sweet little voice when I walked away.

"Elijah, why are you leaving me?" Avery, I heard her voice breaking me. Because I knew she was crying.

I couldn't turn around to watch her cry because of me.

"Oh, God, I am a monster," I whispered out in the night sky.
