Chapter 132 "Love"

Avery P.O.V.

Two Weeks Later...

“Hello Ave, how are you doing and all that your brother is here.” I heard a tiny voice say walking up to me at my locker. 

Yeah, how Cousin Eddy and Isabella are doing,” I heard Ashely say behind me. 

I knew I should tell them everything is fine, but I still don’t know if it is safe to tell them things my brother told me that happened that day back two weeks ago. Should I tell them about their relationship, why they are still together, and what they are doing?

I do know they going to the college over a town away from the pack. They didn’t want people to know anything until it's safe.

“Oh, they are good,” I said with the truth and not telling them more than they needed to know. When I told them I grabbed my books out of my locker and I shut it and turned around to face them. And that when I saw both standing there. But the look on Natalie's face was off. I started over at her, and I saw sadness and pain in her expression on her face. Then something changes before I can see her expression. So, she is hiding her emotions right now. She doesn’t want me and Ashely to see that something is going on and that our friend is hurting.

I bet it’s Wallace again! I wanted to kick his ass for hurting Nat. Speaking of the devil.

By the time I thought of that asshole. We turned around and we saw them. They were talking and we heard the guys behind us on the other side of the hallway.

I can see my mates hanging around the other guys and there were the sluts all over my guys and their friends.

I heard a growl and I looked at Natalie and she got her heated eyes on this one girl with red hair hanging on to Eli Wallace. 

That fucking asshole!” I heard her say. But then I didn’t say anything. I wonder what is going on with my friends. I am not spending a lot of time together with them because of the guys saying I am their mate and finding out my brother is alive, and he is telling me he had to because of him falling in love with our enemy from the other side of the tracks.

I feel sorry for my brother and Isabella hiding their love for each other. That is just so wrong what our families are doing to them. After that day I went back up to the house with my brother and my brother and I went to tell our parents about Isabella. They were not happy about my brother falling in love with the granddaughter of the aggressive and mean Alpha but now his son is the alpha Isabella's father.

So, my parents told Edward to stay away from that girl and he needs to think about finding another mate. But my brother was stubborn and hardheaded. He will not listen to our parents. 

So, he told me everything. So, I kept his secret meeting up with Isabella. I will not tell them. I want them together. 

When the time was right my brother told me I could meet her. 

That is what I did. I met her a week ago, and now we are best friends. I love her. I asked her why she was with my dumb-headed brother and we both laughed, and he didn’t like it. He got sad and was noting having us talk and make fun of him. He grabbed hold of her and threw her in the lake where they met every day when they could. 

So that is what happened two weeks ago now. Now I am standing in the hallway with my friends watching the show I want to throw up when I see the girls all over the guys on the other side of the school.

Oh, God, I am going to be sick. I didn’t want to show the guys I am not jealous but if they know I am their mate. They would know I am pissed off and I am going out for blood if they slut revoke me. 

By the look at my friends, they always want the slut blood too. 

I shook my head and did not pay attention to the show anymore.

“Hey, come on girls, we're going to be late for class,” I told the girls and I started walking down the hallway away from the scene I didn't want to see.

One by one the girls followed behind me.

In class, I am sitting down at my desk. I was grabbing my books out of my bag. When I saw Elijah and Jake, Andrew, Matthew walked in with the girls on their shoulders. I can feel my teeth grinding inside my mouth and I can feel my fist tight in my hand. But what hurt the most was the guy’s face. They were grinning over at me. 

Why are they girls? I thought we made up and we were okay.

But I guess I was wrong. I can feel the pain inside my chest. 

Ouch! I took my hand and placed it on my chest.

Fuck. Ouch. I try not to show pain. But it’s too late. Because I hear my friends surrounding me ask. If I am okay. But really, they know I am not. closed my eyes and bent down over my seat.

“Avery, Hey, You alright?”

“Yeah, I am—fine. I must have had heartburn from the big breakfast my mom made for me this morning.” I tell my friends. I lied to my friends. I know it was wrong. but I had to do it. After the girls went back to their books. That was when I had a feeling I was being watched. That is when I lift up my head and look over by the door. But when I did that, I was right. I had eyes on me. I saw the four sets of eyes of Elijah Woods and Jake Stone, Matthew Steele, Andrew Bradford, the guilty and worried look on their faces.

Good, I thought. They should feel guilty after they were showing the sluts off their arms.

I wanted to look away, but I can’t believe I wanted to see how much they hurt me.

But the look on their faces showed me how they really feel about me. I can't believe it. I gasped when I saw it.

And the look I see in their face and eyes is...

Love.
