The Wallflower and the Alphas
Chapter 55 "New Mate?"

Avery P.O.V.

Oh, my God, I can't feel my legs. They feel like jello. Why do I do that? Let them grab me and start touching me. I should not let them touch me after what they did to me. But I am so stupid. I did see Andrew was here, and then he left. Thank God, but why do I want him back?

It's not like he is my mate or something. But what I said inside my mind was different from what my mind. Andrew was a jerk to me the most. He would always trip me and try to pick me up in school; he would call my names and throw me in the pool's deep end. I can't swim since I started learning to swim because I wanted to be ready for him when he threw me in the deep end again.

He had always been trying to grab my attention, sweep me up in his arms, and carry me away, and I rolled my eyes at what he said to me.

I wanted to tell him he was crazy, but somehow, my heartbeats none stop when he is around. I am trying to understand why? But I know when he touches me, I melt and turn to liquid in his arms. So, what happened with Elijah and Jake just a minute ago? I can feel my cheeks turning red. I know they are. But now, I want to go back and go to bed. I am curious if I can go to the surprise birthday party my parents are throwing me. I can nearly talk than walk.

Thirty minutes later...

Man, once I made it to my house, it felt like thirty minutes after a couple of minutes because I was walking weirdly. If people, see me like this. They think I was truly fucked. So, here I am now. I can barely move them. I am trying to stand up, but my legs are wobbly. I look over my shoulder to see if the guys are behind me. But they are not following me but staring at me instead. Maybe I should go to the party. It was nice of them all to show up, and my parents threw it for me. Even though I am tired and want to go to bed. I need to tell them to thank you and talk to them briefly. That is what I can least do: be friendly and chat with them before I leave and go to my room.

But I do hope I make it back to my party with wobbly legs and don't trip and face and hurt myself. So, it would only be good if the guest of honor was at her party. After all, I need to see if my mom, dad, and friends still need to start my party.

Hmm, I wonder if they got food, I am starving and want food. I do hope it is some chips and sandwiches. I love food, and I can hear and feel my stomach growling.

"Yeah, I wonder. Don't eat all day, duh," I heard Angelstar say inside my mind. I wanted to roll my eyes at her.

"Yeah, Avery, that's not good skipping breakfast, lunch, dinner," I heard Anglica say. she is my new voice, the witch/feels inside me. She is part of me.

I know, girls, I shouldn't do that." I need to eat, but I don't know why I listen to other people saying I am fat." I told the girls. But they didn't say anything until I sighed, and I heard crickets. Wow, thanks, ladies. You're so supportive, I spoke with sarcastic in my voice.

I heard them both giggle, and I started to block them out. I walked up towards the yard. I could listen to the music playing and thought I heard someone behind me, but I could be wrong. I wondered, so I started moving back to see who could be behind me; I do know Elijah and Jake were still back at the shred because they didn't even try to follow me. But they did stare at me with confused expressions and loneliness. They didn't know why I had just left them. So, they could follow me to ensure I made it back safe and sound to my house.

But thinking about Andrew, why do I feel like my body is on fire for him right now, and why do I want him to take me right here?

Should I be feeling this way? What if I want to return and show him how much I like him?

That was when it hit me, hot all over my body, feeling aroused, and I wanted to jump his bones!

Oh, God, it can't be!

There is no way!

"He is my mate!" I said out loud.

Elijah P.O.V.

Hey! maybe we should follow her and ensure she is safe and made it to her house." I told Jake. I know Andrew, been after her, and we got to make sure no one is trying to kidnap and hurt our mate. I know I should have been saying the same time to myself back then when I was just bullying her and hurting Avery for no damn reason.

Hey, man. Do you think he is going to go after her again?" I heard Jake say with concern in his voice. I know I am. But there is something else. When I saw Avery with him, she didn't act scared like she usually is around him and me. She was never scared to be around Jake. She always smiles and would never stiff up and has a strange look every time I am near her. So, we e started following behind her without her knowing. Once we saw she wasn't around. We went up towards the house. Jake and I went through the front door because no one were inside; they were all in the backyard. But we knew she wasn't back there yet. She went inside her house, went upstairs to her bedroom to be alone, and didn't want to see anyone.
