The Wallflower and the Alphas

Someone else P.O.V.

I know that smell. I told myself. "Oh, yeah, me too." My wolf Adam I heard my wolf say in my mind. But I know she is not my mate, but she is in heat, and I don't need her to help my species not go in instinct.

"But Demetrius, how will we get her away from her lapdogs? They are always around, man." Adam said inside my mind.

"Don't worry, her parents love me, so I know they let me talk to her," I told my wolf. But then I blocked my mind off Adam, and I thought with a smirk she would be mine!

"Damn, she got a fine ass!" I heard Adam say in my mind. But I watched her walk away and then run away from the woods. So yeah, I said it to no one around me in the open. But Avery, she was already gone when I said that when it spilled out of my mouth.

Avery P.O.V

What was that I thought? I felt someone was watching me, and it didn't feel right. It made me watch my surroundings because I was out of my territory where my pack was. But the time I was away from whoever it was walking me and following me.

When I got close to my house, I could hear the music playing behind my backyard, and they were practicing before my party started.

When I walked around the corner, I saw my best friends, Ashely and Natalie. I saw the guys with them, but it looked like they were having a private meeting. Natalie looked upset and crying when Eli spoke to her, but his face told it all he was rejecting or bullying her. I didn't like him hurting her, and she told me she was okay and could handle it.

Yeah, right, I thought, how can she let that jerk treat her like a ragdoll and use a napkin? He and Jayson have always been mean to my friends. But what about your bullies, Avery my head was telling me. I didn't want to talk about myself right now. Right now, my friends are hurting, and I need to go to them.

So, I started walking closer to them when I saw Ashely grab Jayson by his shirt, and she was angry at him because he was smirking at her and said something to her that made her stop and stare into his eyes and drop his shirt and start running away. So, then I stopped walking when I got in front of him.

I saw his face; he didn't want to say whatever he said because his smirk dropped on his face, and he yelled after her and took off behind her.

"No! Eli. I can't do this anymore with you" I am done with you treating me like a piece of meat and an enslaved person." I heard Natalie say with a broken voice and tears running down her face.

"Sweetheart, you need to hear me out." he tried to say more, but she stopped him from speaking to her.

"No, Eli, I will not be waiting for you anymore. I have loved you since I was ten years old, and I can't have my heart broken again because you know I am your mate, and I have been in love with you for so long!" Natalie yelled at him again when he was trying to stop her. People were staring at them, but I don't think they had seen us around them.

"You go, Natalie, tell that asshole off, don't let him treat you like that again," I mumbled. But when I saw my best friend hurting with pain inside her eyes. I knew she was the one who rejected him because I heard her say.

"I, Natalie Lynn Steele, reject you, Eli Ryan Wallace, as my mate." She said with her voice strong and her head hiding high but with pain inside her eyes from doing this to him. She is the one who says it before he says it to her. She didn't want him to beat her, saying he didn't want her as his mate and love.

She stared at him, and he didn't look too good; he had tears running down his face and looked like he was on death doors. But then he tries to grab her, and he tries to kiss her.

No! She screamed, pushed him away from her, shook her head, and ran towards the pool house.

"You will be mine, Natalie; you mark my words; I will get you back," Eli said when he screamed after her. But then he was going to go after her, but before he could, Elijah and Jake, my mates, grabbed him.

"No, fuck" let me go!" He said with a pissed-off and possession look on his face. He was moving around and trying to get out of the guy's hold, but they were firm. Eli was more robust right now because the wolf was trying to come out, and he was mad. He wanted to chase down his mate, grab her, and ensure she never left again.

"No, I will not accept your rejection. Your, my mate Natalie Steele!" He yelled out when he was going after her again, but Jake and Elijah held a tight grip on him. He was ignored and pissed off at what was happening around him because someone was keeping him away from his price.

"Dude, calm down. You need to relax before you hurt yourself or worse." Jake said and started over at me, then said, "I don't know if he is talking about Natalie anymore or me."

But I know Eli is getting angry and impatient with his friends not letting him go after his mate! Because how I know because he yelled out to her.
