Chapter 63 "The Bet"

• Elijah P.O.V.
• “Why are you doing here?” She asked us. Jake gives her a smile and I can’t stand to lie to both. I feel like shit. But then I open my mouth to say something, but nothing comes out. I am standing there with a blank look on my face. I need to tell her or she going to be found out by someone else and I can’t let that happen. I can’t hurt her. I could never live with myself. So, I look over at Jake and he is looking at me with a concerned and worried expression on his face. I am trying not to show him and her the guilty expression on my face. I know what I did was so wrong. At the time I just wanted to be around her and when my football buddies made that bet, I took the chance to be with her. Oh, okay I know it was wrong, but I do anything to be with her. I didn’t need this stupid bet to be around Avery my mate I knew for a year. I was so stupid to worry about being a strong alpha and not worried what everybody said if they found out the wallflower, nobody, bookworm, is my mate.
• I wish I can go back on that awful day I made that bet with my loser’s football buddies. If I would have paid attention none of this would ever happen. I won’t be in this awful situation I was in that day. I wished I could go back that day, but I can’t, so I know what I need to do now.
