The Wallflower and the Alphas
Chapter 22 "Not yet"

Avery P.O.V.

"Well, I am glad you're doing well baby girl," My father said. "Yeah, dad I am fine," I told him. But the guys were still here. I needed to get them out of here. Before I made a fool of myself in front of them. But I couldn't be mean to them like they were to me over the years. So, I did the one thing I wouldn't do. I went to sit down in front of them. Ashely and Natalie thought that was crazy.

Because they gave me a confused look on their face. I was so nervous to be around the guys. This morning Jake Stone wanted to fake date me, and now he was staring at me with care and want in his eyes. I thought he just wanted to fake our relationship to keep me safe from his psychopath sister and others. But now I was watching him and his body language. I really thought he wanted me for real this time to be his girlfriend. But how could I be someone else who is not my mate? I am old-fashioned because I am saving myself for my mate. There is no way he and Elijah are my mate.

Jake P.O.V

Oh God, she is so lovely and beautiful. But right now. I am not paying attention to her body language or how she is giving me a confused look on her face. She is probably wondering why I and Elijah are here at her house. I can't wait to tell her I am her mate, but for now, I must be patient until her nineteenth birthday. So, I hit Elijah on his shoulder and told him to stop freaking out everyone around us. Because he kept giving Avery a crazy look in his eyes. He stopped and turned towards me.

"What was that for?" He said with his mind.

"You need to stop staring at Avery like that. You're going to give us away." I told him with a serious expression on my face. He didn't say anything in our minds, but he did stop giving her a crazy want look in his eyes. She started coming over and sitting in front of us with her parents.

"That would not stop me if I wanted to grab her," Elijah said in my mind with a chuckle. I rolled my eyes at him inside my mind. It’s strange our wolf is gone. I wonder where mine went. By the time I said that. I heard my wolf howling and moaning. What in the world? I know I am not the only one who heard it in my mind. I look over at Avery. She has a red tint on her cheeks.

Then I saw her lick her lips and wiggle in her seat. Then I looked over at Elijah and he was staring at Avery with the desired expression on his face and a knowing grin on his face. If I think about what my wolf Ax is doing. I got an idea that he is having sex with our mate's wolf.

"Well, I am trying to, if you shut up." My wolf said in my mind. He said with an annoying tone.

"Yeah, man! I am trying to get our mate relaxed and ready. So, shut up." I heard another wolf inside my mind. I think it’s Elijah's wolf. Because I only have one wolf.

"Sorry man. My wolf Axel can be open-minded. He tells you how it is." Elijah said.

"Okay, we leave you alone. Don't hurt her." I told my wolf. I can't believe I am mated to a girl that has one or more mates. I guess that is what is going to be. I am not alone to fall in love with Avery, my Luna and my Mate. But when I look over at Avery sitting across from me and Elijah, I can see her eyes. They are dark and I see the expression on her face. Desire.

Because that is how I am feeling right now. I want her and I need her. I look over at Elijah. He is thinking the same thing that I am feeling about Avery, my angel and his wallflower.

Avery P.O.V.

"Mate," I kept hearing in my mind. Why am I hearing mate repeatedly in my mind? That was when I realized Angelstar wasn't alone. She had two big wolves in our mind that were well you know getting her ready to be mated. I felt hot and wanted to. I don't want to feel this way especially in front of the guys and my family and friends. I am trying to calm my body and heart. I know if they could see and hear my heart beating, they would know what is going on. I would be embarrassed right now. I know they can see my cheeks are red.

"Well, I don't know about you, I think it’s time for us to leave," I told them.

I saw Jake staring at Avery as if he didn't stop. We are going to be found out by Avery and her parents and her friends. Right now, is not the time. So, Jake listened to my mind, and he got up and bowed to her parents and grabbed Avery’s hand and kissed it.

"I see you around Avery. Let me know what you thought I asked you earlier this morning." He told her. She blushed and looked away and shook her head at him.

"I will," she told him with a shy smile on her face. He nodded and winked and walked out the door. So, it’s my turn. I said goodbye to her parent's bye. I walked over to Avery, and she licked her lips nervously. "If you need me. I will be here." I told her, and I winked and walked out the door. When I walked out, I heard her friends ask her. "What in the world was that?"

They didn't know I was still close to the door.

"I don't know either but all I know I felt something weird happened with them," Avery said to her friends. I shook my head and chuckled. That was when I saw Jake waiting for me.

"Why didn't we tell them? They need to know that we are her mate. We should have told them and her why we were here?" Jake said anxiously.

"I know but did you see her? I don't think she would listen and believe us. She would think we are playing a trick on her. So, no, we didn't tell her. We had to wait until she was ready to believe we wanted her as our mate." I told him patiently.

So, we started walking back over to my house. Before we did, I felt this strange pain in my head. I knew it wasn't me. I knew it was my mate. She has been having these awful headaches ever since she found out about the voice in her head.

So, I looked over at Jake. I knew he could feel it too. But we need to give her space before we ruin everything. So, he can't go over there and run in there and tell her and know something is wrong. Like her headaches. So, she thought we were crazy if we ran in and broke down the door to get to her.
