8. Telling them

Avery's Pov

Hugging Sam earlier gave me butterflies. I never ever felt like that with anyone before. My heart was racing as I tried to comfort her knowing she was so close to me. I could feel her warmth, her skin on mine, and how she gave in and rested her head on my shoulder. I loved everything about it. We are mates. We have to be. There was no way I was feeling this way with just an ordinary person.

The only question now is, what do I do about it? What do I say? How do I say anything to her about what I am? Who do I tell this to?

I wanted to tell mum. I knew she'd know what to do, but a part of me was afraid that she wasn't going to accept this. A female werewolf with a female human mate.

In two months, Jake and I are going to the academy, which was 3000 miles away from here. What's going to happen to me and Sam then? Usually mates follow each other there if one of them were of higher ranks since only deltas, betas, and alphas go there, but I don't think that's possible, she has parents and she's sixteen. It's not right. No one will approve of us being mates until she's 18. I've got to wait that long. And I honestly don't know-how.

"Avery." I turned towards Sam on the couch as we finished our pizza.

"Yes?" I replied. She looked down and played with her fingers, she was nervous.

"I wanna ask you something," she mumbles, still not looking at me. I frowned in confusion. She looks so small, all wrapped up in a ball with blankets around her, and her hair in a ponytail, she looks beyond innocent.

"Go ahead," I said nearing her. She looked up into my eyes, and I see her grey ones shy away as her cheeks reddened and she played with her fingers even more.

"Uhm- I...well, can you s-stay over tonight?" she whispered so softly almost eating up her words. My breath hitched slightly at her question.

"Only if you want to, you don't actually have to. Sorry." she rambles on, still looking down. I reached for her hand and held it, making her look up at me.

"I would love to Sam, but I don't think I should," I say softly, looking at her sympathetically hoping she'd understand. She immediately nodded and looked down.

"Sorry, it was stupid. I didn't mean to," she says again and I sighed.

"No don't be, it's not stupid. It's just, better this way, you know." I said, knowing how much I wanted to but I shouldn't. This is going to turn into something else soon. I know that, and I can't let that happen. Not yet. Not until I know this is right.

Sam's Pov

No, I don't know. I wanted to reply back but I bit my tongue. I couldn't think about why she didn't want to. Did she not want to be here? Be with me? Was it too much to ask since we've just met? God, I'm so stupid. Of course, she wouldn't want to waste time with a stupid kid. She had a life and better things to do.

"Hey, but someday I will okay?" she said giving me a smile, startling me with her answer and giving me hope. I blushed slightly. She didn't move her hand from mine, and I really wished I was in her arms again. I wanted her to hold me again. But, I couldn't ask her to do that. We were just friends.

"Anyway, I've got to go now, I'll see you tomorrow?" she said after a while, pulling her hand from mine, and immediately making my heart ache. I don't want her to go.

"Okay. I'll walk you to the door?" I ask her wanting to stand up and she put her hand out, stopping me. I looked at her in confusion and she shook her head.
