17. She's Leaving

Sam's Pov

The past few weeks went by with a flash. I could feel the tension from Avery as the date of her leaving neared. I hated to see the dread and pain in her eyes knowing that this is how things have to be. She'll be leaving in exactly three days now, she's already packed her things, her room was almost empty again as she wouldn't be coming to stay here until I'm 18. It broke my heart knowing I'd have to watch her from afar and only could wish that I was with her every day. It hurt, physically hurt when we were not together, which Avery mentioned one night as we lay cuddled in her bed. If I felt this much pain, I could only imagine what she goes through.

I met her Alpha, and he explained everything to me again and I could only nod. I couldn't do anything. This wasn't something I could change. He has this view of Avery not having control around me. It made my cheeks warm knowing that it was actually a real thing like she really wouldn't be able to control her sexual tendencies around me, her mate.

It still hasn't hit my brain that this is real. Avery is a werewolf, she's part animal, and honestly, I don't know why that's a turn on. I loved seeing her eyes switch color to silver, and hear that growl when she realizes someone else's eyes on me and it warmed my heart, it makes me all fuzzy, it's just a crazy feeling especially how she would pull me to her chest once were home, burying her head in my neck and hair, breathing in my scent, as she says, it calms her and her wolf knowing that their mate was here in their arms. My heart would beat like crazy, as she held me, her arms possessive, especially when she looked at me with eyes full of adoration and want.

We're sitting in the hall, playing a board game with mum, dad, and Jake. I don't really like Jake. I don't like him around Avery. He's always there, always looking at her like she's...she's special to him. I get it they're best friends, but I don't like the way he looks at her. I wonder if there was a thing between them. It scared me to ask Avery this, I don't think I'm ready to know if there was something. Are people that close to their best friends? Even if they're the opposite gender? I guess that doesn't matter if they're not straight or anything, but I would never know. I've never had any close friends, maybe just one from back at the orphanage, Milo, he was the only other shy kid there, but when I got adopted I just never saw him. Would I be like how Avery and Jake are with Milo? That close?

"Sam it's your turn." Avery nudged me, pulling me away from my thoughts.

"Oh sorry." I rolled the dice and then moved my piece, we were playing monopoly. The game ended a little in an hour when Jake said he was bored.

"Well, what do you want to do then?" Avery asks, leaving back again the foot of the couch as I followed. She turns to smile at me, taking my hand in hers, my heart skipped a beat. I looked down and then back to mum and Jake. Jake was staring at us with an unreadable expression on his face, almost pained?

"We could go to our spot, get some pizza?" he asks, switching his eyes to just Avery. Their spot? They have a spot? I held my breath when he said that trying not to get jealous. He wiggles his eyebrows at her and my hand tightened over Avery's unconsciously.

"Yeah sure, I'm gonna miss that place. Mum is that okay?" I kept my eyes on Jake and then Jake found my eyes and he just looks away, his jaw clenching slightly. Woah? What is happening?

"Yeah, you Sam?" Mum asked and I turned to them, smiling and nodding.

"I'm okay with it," I say and Avery beams. She stood up and pulled me up, dragging me with her.

"We're going to change, see you in a bit," Avery says as I blush looking down, but I caught Jake's hand clenching. I almost stopped walking but I didn't. I tried not to think about it. But deep down I knew it, Jake likes Avery, more than a friend.
