22. Empty Promises

A/N: There's a little self-harm scene below so be warned, I tried not to go into details much.

Sam's Pov (7 months later)

I wish I was still homeschooled. Going to an actual school is honestly horrible when you're like the only human there and especially when you're adopted by the Betas and the soon to be beta is your "sister". They look at me like I'm this "threat" as if I'm a wall blocking them from Avery. I hear them speaking sometimes of how Avery has changed ever since I came into the picture. She was distant, she visited the pack house less and was only there to train and for official pack stuff and hunting every Sunday.

Not mention this one whole group of girls, with their bitch queen leader, Bianca. She loathes me. Absolutely loathes me. And it's because she has this "girl crush" on Avery. She thinks she can control everyone because her dad is the head warrior or something, and she's like, no one gets to talk about Avery, but her. It bugs me honestly cause she's acting all possessive as if she's her girlfriend of something. She fucking isn't. Avery is my girlfriend, my mate.

Today has been boring too, just a few messages from Avery being sweet as usual gives me the strength to go through it and Bianca's wrath and eyes. I looked up from phone and immediately I saw her, speak of the devil. I quickly turned away, not wanting to interact with her again today, because all she ever asks is Avery this and Avery that.

"Human." I sighed as I hear her behind me and turned to her, an eyebrow raised. She sneered.

"Getting comfortable are we?" She asks again and I see the other girls giggle and stare at me like I'm filthy and cheap and look like a sack of potatoes. Yeah, it doesn't work well with my confidence which I'm trying to build.

"No," I mutter back, looking back down to my phone.

"So tell me human, is Avery's mate, not 18 yet? You should know, you're her sister after all?" she says, her voice annoying and loud. Jeez. I shook my head. She says the word "sister" with a weird underlying tone that makes me uneasy every time.

"Dunno." I simply said. She huffs.

"Is that why she's spending her heat somewhere else? With some other people?" Thump. Thump. Thump. What? Other people?

"I don't know," I whisper now, my fingers getting cold and clammy. Avery wouldn't right? How does Bianca even know this? She's just playing. I need to calm down and not give anything off, shit!

"We all know that heats are terrible to go through alone, and it drains so much from someone if they don't mate, and she seems perfectly fine every time she comes to the house, but," she takes a step closer to me as if she knew it's gonna hurt me and continues, "what she does smell like is of sex, wolves, humans, and alcohol, almost every other night."

I started to panic and I swear I see the evil glint in her dark eyes. The other girls snicker seeing me close to crumbling. Are they joking? Did they find out I'm her mate? Is that why they're doing this? She bends down and leans into my face, her lips pulled back evilly, and she whispered.

"Even as a Beta she couldn't control herself and she wouldn't even try to, she would give in and...." I pulled back away from her, taking a step back, snapping my eyes away. My breath got stuck in my throat as I try to not focus on the words she was saying.

"She wouldn't. She doesn't, she hasn't met her mate." I say, so softly, almost to myself before I took my bag and run out of the library. My heart was beating so fucking loud, my thoughts and feelings a mess. Avery wouldn't do that. She's taking the potion, she told me. Right?

But, she is out late, coming home sometimes at 3 in the morning, that's when she would send me another goodnight text. Sometimes when we called I could hear the music. Fuck. No. She wouldn't do it. This is all wrong, it's messed up. They're just messing me up. It's all just coincidences, that's all. Just coincidences. I trust Avery. I trust her. She promised that she wanted me, she would wait for me.
