The Wallflower and the Alphas

Elijah P.O.V. 

Yes, I love the wind in my fur and running up and down hills, jumping and climbing up the trees. I know Axel is having fun. We need to cool down some steam. I was about to kill that girl; thought she could put her grubby hands all over me. She was trying to show all the girls surrounding us I was hers. I stopped that before she could start by grabbing onto my junk. I let her know I was falling for her shit, and I pushed her away from me.

But the thing is. Someone was else was paying attention to what she was trying to do to me. I look over after it pushes Amy or whatever that girl's name away from me. But Avery, my mate, stared over at me and that slutty girl. I saw her eyes and her face. I wish I didn't know the pain and hurt in her eyes. I know I have been hurting her for a long time now. I wish I had stopped hurting Avery. Everything I do, I hurt her. I don't understand why the moon goddess put us together. I am nothing but an asshole and jerk to the poor girl. But I was thinking, how could my mate be with another man? Not just one but three! That's when I realized she had three mates plus me! So, I am not happy about it.

Because, after all, I am the first mate to know she was mine. But then Jake told me he is also mated to her too. Oh no, that's not all. Then there's freaking Andrew and Matthew, my other two best friends. "Fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I scream inside the back of Axel's mind because I let him out to run free. "Elijah, hey, what the fuck!" I heard Axel growl and whimper because I screamed loud inside our minds.

"Sorry, I am just worried about Avery; what if she finds out about the bet, and what if everything I did to her? Maybe she rejects me?" I don't know if I could live with knowing that. It's all my fault. I wish I never bullied and abused her," I said with tears clouding my eyes because I was afraid, she would never be mine and accept me for how a monster I have been to her. "Calm down; everything is going to be alright." I heard him say, and I went back into the back of his mind. I kept my mouth shut until we changed back. He didn't try to talk to me again.

Once I let Axel out and run around and stretch and be free. I heard him say. "Oh, okay, I am good." "Let's change back." I heard him say with a smile in his voice. I only said something once we changed. I got the clothes, and I started putting them on. Once I was dressed, I looked down at my bag and pulled out my cell phone. Oh shit, I didn't realize I was out here for three hours. I need to get back before practice starts. I started racing back out of the woods and back to the school. By the time I walked into the locker room. I started changing my gear, and I had my helmet under my arm. I need to get on the field before my dad, I mean coach, kills me. But that was when I heard him behind me.

That was when I listened to his big voice. He was started howled by my dad. He's my coach now. " Son, where the hell have you been?" I heard the worry in his voice even though he was trying to be tough and calm. "Oh, sorry, Dad, I mean coach," I told him. I don't think he cares anyway, but I want to make sure he isn't mad at me for saying dad instead of coach. But I kept saying. "Yeah, sorry, I let Axel run in the woods. I knew he felt cooked up inside too long, so I let him out and run for a while." I told him, but I wasn't lying. "Oh okay, well, son." Are you ready for practice?

"Yes sir," I'm ready to kick Yellow Jackets' ass tomorrow night, sir!" I yelled out. That was when I heard hollering and hooting from the guys behind me yelling out. "Well, come boys, let's go!" I heard my dad yell out, and we all ran out, hooting and firing up for kicking the Yellow Jackets' ass tomorrow night. "Blue forty-two, Blue fourth two, "hut, hut Go!" I heard Jake say, and I slammed right into Buddy Richardson.

Sorry, bud. I bash my elbow into his stomach. I heard him let out a groan of pain. I saw Jake throw the ball down the middle when I saw Matthew tackle someone trying to attack Andrew. His are running back. I saw him run, and the ball coming right at him. Yes, he caught it and ran for a touchdown. Fuck yeah!" I heard my dad, and I mean coach, scream out. We all wanted to laugh, but we knew better not to. I heard the whistle blow, and we knew the practice was over. Come on, guys, bring it in." I heard the coach and Jake say.

"Elijah, come on, son, you say it this time. I knew what they meant by saying it this time. My dad and coach want me to start off the huddle with the end of practice. "Okay, fellas, on three!" Blue Devils!" I told my teammates. Blue Devils!" We all yell out. "Okay, fellas, good job, you're going to beat the Yellow Jackets." "Go hit the showers. boys!" I heard my dad with a smile and walking away with his three assistant coaches, and he told us to. So, I did. It was a quick shower. I looked around after getting out and wrapped the towel around my waist.

I look for the guys. I mind-linked the guys. "Hey! Tonight, guys," I told them. But they all said yes. That was all I could say, and they knew what I meant. After we all got dressed and slammed our lockers, we all walked out the school door. We got in the truck, and I drove to get food and home. I needed to get ready for tonight to watch with my mate.
