Chapter 142: "Late Night Visitors"

Avery P.O.V.

I sigh and walk upstairs after I shut and locked my front door.

 My parents and brother were not home again. I should have known.

They have been out this whole week again. So I guess they're got a lot of Alpha and Beta business.

So I am all by myself again for dinner. But I wasn't that hungry. 

But I did grab a bite to eat with Natalie. Ashely had to go somewhere with her parents.

My uncle Harry, my dad's brother, and my aunt, Sherry Ashely, went to town.

Once I was in my bedroom, I walked inside my room. I didn't think of it, but I felt something was off. But I ignored it and got my bag on the floor by my bed. Then, I took out my phone on the other side of my bed and plugged it in so it could charge.

After I was making sure, my phone was plugged in. I put it down on the nightstand, turned, and started walking to my dresser. I got my underwear and my socks out, and I walked over to my closet and grabbed a long shirt hanging in my closet. Once I got what I needed. I started closing the closet door and stepped out toward my bathroom. 

I am standing inside my shower, trying not to cry. Because this is where I do a lot of my crying. I felt my eyes filling up water, and I knew the tears were going to be clouding my eyes. I felt the tears running down my face. 

Yep, I knew it.

I told myself my tears were not worthy of them. 

They choose what they want. 

Know it is my turn to take my revenge and make them suffer. 

Once I got out of the shower, I grabbed a towel and wrapped it up around my body. 

I walked over to my bathroom sink, got my toothbrush, and started brushing my teeth.

Once I was done doing my duties before bedtime.

I walked toward my door. I shut off the light and walked out the door.

Once I was in my bedroom, I stopped and looked around. But I have no idea what is going on.

 But all I care about is getting in my bed and going to sleep.

Once I started to move my legs, I felt weird; well, maybe off? I thought.

When I was in my thoughts, I thought I heard something inside my room moving around.

 But I ignored it and walked over toward my bed. Before anything, I get in the bed. I need to do something first.

I turned and got on my knees, and I faced the bed.

Hey! We need to say our prayers. I always thank God for everything he does for me.

So, that's why I am on my knees.

Once I was done praying. I got up off my knees and got into bed.

 I started fluffing my pillow and making sure I was comfortable in bed.

Once I liked my comfy spot in bed. 

I started to drift off to dreamland.

I woke up in complete darkness with something moving beside my window.

 I didn't want whoever was in my room to know I was awake. 

So I pretend to go back to sleep.

I know my heart is beating fast, and whoever in my room will know I am awake.

I heard a movement. That was when I knew whoever was moving my room. The person was walking towards me.

Oh, no, don't make a sudden move. Maybe he won't know you're here. 

Oh, what, I am kidding. Oh, of course, the person knows I am in here.

Easy breathe, Avery. 

I was telling myself to take easy breaths.

Whoever it is they see that your sleep and the person will leave.

Yeah, right with your world thinking? My inner voice had a smug voice in my head. 

I knew it wasn't the girls because they were still with our mate's wolves out in their world.

Oh no, I didn't know the person stopped when I let my thoughts run around in my head.

I felt the air turning hotter in my room. I knew I was in my room. I can smell him.

Elijah is in my room, and he is standing on the end of my feet by the bed.

That was when I heard someone else in my room.

What is going on? I thought.

 Who else in my room other than Elijah Woods and me.

"You are so beautiful, '' I heard him say.

Oh, God, Elijah is saying I am so beautiful in my room with me here. 

He didn't know I was up, and also, I could hear him talking about me.

"I know you're asleep, but I want you to know.

" I am so sorry for everything I have done to you."

I hear him say. I want to tell you to shut up and leave me alone. But my heart says be quiet and listen.

I am in my bed, so he and whoever is here now think I am asleep. 

My eyes got big when I felt someone's fingers running up my legs and around my waist and kept moving up and down.

I wasn't frightened, but I felt something else. I felt my cheeks burning red.

That was when I heard a growl and groans around my room. 

Oh my, there are more than two in my room.

If I am right, it's Andrew and Matthew in my room with Elijah and Jake.

How could I forget them?

 I should get out under my covers and tell them to leave.

But I don't because I want them here deep down inside my chest. 

I missed them.

I missed their touch and kisses.

I missed their laugh and how they made me laugh.

I missed when they held me in their arms after we made love.

When I was thinking about how much I miss them. I didn't pay attention; they have now surrounded my bed.

That is when I heard Elijah say.

" We know you're not asleep, sweetheart," he says in my ear with a seductive smug voice.

Oh no, they knew I was up the whole time. So, now what can I do? The only thought I had was.

Before I thought of anything, I felt my body heating up.

I need to stop this heat from coming because I can't be doing things with them after how they treated me last month.

But my brain told me to stop and don't do anything before I got hurt again. But my heart wanted them, and it told me to be with them now.

I was fighting my inner voice. Then suddenly, I felt the covers move, and I felt someone's hands rubbing up against my stomach.

Oh my. I  gasp, and am trying not to make a sound.

But it was too late. They have heard me.

I wanted to tell them to stop and leave, and the other side of me wanted them to stay and hold me and never let me go.

But I knew I had to stop whatever was going to happen. I can't let them break my heart again.

I just can't, not this time.
