The Wallflower and the Alphas

Avery P.O.V.

I can't believe it; Natalie's mate is Eli Wallace, Elijah, and Jake's best friend. Not just that, Ashely's mate is Jayson too. Wow, this is so strange and weird and wonderful at the same time. I was happy for the girls, but they were again sad because of the guys.

Coming back through the woods, I felt like someone was watching me. I didn't know my friends would be talking to Elijah and Jake's friends.

So, I saw them angered with the two friends of my mates, and I saw Natalie crying. Then the Ashely angry face looked at Jayson and Eli, trying to hold on to Natalie, but she pushed him away and told him something no other werewolf would not want to hear come out of the mate's mouth.

Then she turned away from him with tears streaming down her face and started running to the front of the house. Then I saw Ashely slap Jayson, and he grabbed her around her waist, lifted her off the ground, and placed her over his shoulder.

I heard Ashely yelling at him and pounding on his back, and I could see her face; she irritated him, but I saw his face, and he had a different expression.

I can see a smirk on his face. I was paying attention to them. I didn't hear an angry voice scream out, and I turned back around. I saw Jake and Elijah holding on to Eli because he was mad and annoyed at them for stopping him from going after Natalie. So, I started walking toward her and going to find her and see if she was okay.

I didn't look behind me, and I didn't see my mates trying to stop Eli, but I didn't see him somehow get out and run past me, and he ran into me, and I got knocked down. I didn't see him quick enough; all I felt was a pain in her body. I fell and didn't know I had hit my head, but it was too late.

I didn't hear a voice yell out my name. When I hit my head on the ground, it didn't hurt. That was when I saw darkness, and after that, nothing.

Elijah P.O.V.

"AVERY!" I ran towards Avery and saw her on the ground, still and not moving. When I got close, I saw her bleeding on the side of her head.

I checked her body to ensure she didn't have other wounds or head injuries. So, then I gently lift her head under my hand, and I can see she is still warm and breathing. So, I thank God, she is still alive.

"Please, sweetheart, wake up. I need you." I bent down, whispered in her ear, and kissed her cheek. I felt her moving, but when I looked back down at her, she was still out, asleep.

"ASSHOLE!" I heard Jake yell at Eli, and I turned around. I saw that Jake had Eli around his neck and was trying to pull his hand away from his throat.

"Hey, what you are doing, man." Eli tried to say, but he couldn't talk with Jake's hands around her throat.

Then I heard a female yell, and I saw Natalie running back toward Jake and Eli with a worried look. She kept running, and when she looked my way, she saw Avery lying in my arms with her head on my chest.

Then she stopped and looked like she was watching us, and then she heard Jake yelling at Eli. Then she turned away from us and looked over at the guys.

"Please, stop it." I heard her tiny voice. Then she ran towards him, and I heard her growl.

"LET MY MATE GO!" Then she got to Jake, got on Jake's back, and tried to pull his hands off Eli's neck. Then I saw Eli staring at her, and he had a loving expression.

I ignored the beautiful creature that was mate moving her hand towards my cheek and that her eyes were open.

I stiff and look down; I saw her eyes staring up at me with a small smile.

"I need to get up. Let me up, Elijah." She spoke.

So, I lifted her head off my chest and helped her off the ground. The pain is gone because I no longer feel it when she is hurt.

She stood up, trying to walk towards them, but I didn't want her to go near them. But she gave me a look and told me to let her go. I saw her eyes; they were different somehow. I can't put my finger on it, but I will know.

So, I let her go and let her go to Jake, and maybe she will stop him from killing Eli.

I saw her touch his shoulder, and he stayed still, dropped Eli on the ground, turned around, picked up Avery, and smiled as I did.

Then he started spilling her around, and she laughed and smiled in his arms. I want her in my arms again, but I know she has to calm down and go to Jake.

That's the only way he would stop and not kill the poor bastard. He is our friend, but when Avery's safety is out the window.

Then I saw him gently land her on her feet on the ground. Then, when I saw her hand caress and stroke his cheek, I saw his eyes turn back to normal because his eyes were blood-red with anger.

I looked past them and saw Eli sitting on the ground. Natalie bent down and tried to help him, but he was holding his throat and trying to take a small breath.

Then she bent down in his face and grabbed it, and she kissed him, and he still for a second, and he started kissing her, picked her up, and took her into the dark woods. But then I return my attention to my mate and best friend.

I see Jake and her body close together, and she is kissing him hard and rubbing herself on him.

Oh, no, I forgot she still is in heat! I know me, and Jake needs to help her with her tension and release her needs before something happens to her with another wolf.

One thing I don't want to happen is the unmated male wolves trying to get our mate.

The bad thing is when a she-wolf is in heat, they are crazy horny, and when a male is close by, she will submit to the nearest male and attack him. So, right now, she is rubbing over Jake.

So, I linked to Jake.

"Dude, we need to get her out of here before the males show up soon."

He looked over at me and still had her over him and kissing his face.

I saw him nod his head, and he started picking her up. I heard her moan and yelped. I smiled and told him in his mind.

"Come on before they show up soon," I told him, and I think what to do next. I do need to stop her in heat. We shouldn't mate yet, but we can help her calm down after being in heat.

So, I let Jake walk in front of me with Avery in his arms, and she still attacked him and rubbed her sex on him. I saw it hard for him to react to it, and he would stop somewhere and mate her and get it over with. But he knows she would hate him if he took her.

"Just a little longer, sweetheart," I heard Jake say because we were taking her somewhere private to help our mate with her problem.

So, once we found a place, Jake sits her under the full moon. She looked up at us.

"Please, I need you." She told us with fire in her eyes and started stripping her dress off her body.

She licked her lips, and I turned my eyes to her full breast open view with no bra and looked down towards her white underwear. It hid the treasure I felt and kissed.

I can't wait to touch her again and taste her favor off my finger, lips, and tongue.

Fuck! I moaned in the back of my throat. I am fucking hard as a rock. I need her, but I will wait for the right time. So, Jake and I watched our mate touching her breast, starting at it.

She is not saying anything, but her eyes tell us she needs us and wants us now.

I need to look away before I grab her and do something. I know she is not ready yet. I can't have her hate me, and I do something I know will hurt to know she gave me her virginity.

So, I looked away and told her.

"No, sweetheart, but we are going to mate. But we will soon, but not now." I told her, and she had an understanding look on her face, but then she nodded her head.

Then she had tears in her eyes. I didn't want to see that. So, I walked over to her, bent down on my knees, grabbed her face, and stroked her cheek.

"Hey, now no crying, beautiful," I told her chin and lifted her face to look at me.

What I saw, I wanted to hit myself. I need it sometimes when I would hurt her.

"No!" She said and turned away from me.

"I know I am ugly; I now am." She said with pain in her eyes with red around them.

I looked back at Jake, and he had a worried look on his face, and then he came closer to her; then he bent down and started talking to her and kissed her lips.

"Hey, no talk like that. You're a beautiful sweetheart. So, remember that." So, then he kissed her, and he started playing her back, and I started watching them, and then I laid down beside her other side, and I started to touch her face, and then I turned her face towards mine, and then it was my turn to kiss my beautiful mate.

We did that for a while, and then we heard her moaning in pain. We knew we had to help her before the other wolves could smell her and come here to mate with her.

So, that was when I had an idea, and I mind link, Jake. He smiled, and he nodded his head at me. So, I went with my thesis, which should work; no, it has to work. But, when I looked back down at our mate, she was moaning and moving around, and she was breathing heavily, and I could see she was hitting her lips with the pain on her face.

"Dude, she needs us," he told me, trying to hold her down, but she kept shaking and moaning in pain.

"We need to do something now," he said in an angry voice and worried in his eyes.

I took a deep breath, looked down at her, and heard her scream out.

"Ahh, it hurts! But, please, I need you both!" She said with pain in her voice.

"Shh, baby," I said. I kissed her on her forehead. She calmed down a little, but that helped. I knew she needed us near, and she needed our touch. So, that is what we are going to do.

"It's okay, we here, baby girl," I told her, and my mouth slammed down on her, and I heard her moan. I took my hand inside her hair and pulled her close towards her, still shaking and flopping around on the ground.

Oh, I know we have helped our mate from this pain. I kept her in my arms, and then I saw Jake on her other side, rubbing her back up and down.

God, she feels so hot. I knew she was warm but not burning up. We needed to do something before she got any more desirable.

"We need to get her somewhere to stop her burning up," I told Jake in my mind.

"Where can we go, man?" Jake said. Then I had to think, and then it came to me.

"There a water stream down the hill," I told him. So, I got up and picked Avery off the ground; she let out a tiny moan; I think she fell asleep again.

I started running towards the water because she felt like a fireball in my arms. So, I just ran, saw the lake, and I took her in my arms and jumped over the hill, and we were in the air, and then we hit the water, and I felt cold and saw black.

I hope I didn't make it worse for her and get her sicker than when she was burning up with a fever.
