A Girl Adopted

Chapter 24- Amara

When we reached the cabin, I got off of his back. Asher went behind a tree and shifted in his human

form. I hope papa or Ryder won't do a surprise attack on us. They may have tried to contact me

yesterday. They must be worried about me. Why am I so weak? I can't even heal someone without

blacking out. I should tell them not to come here as Asher is with me.

‘Papa’ I called in the mind link.

'Where are you?' he asked almost immediately.

'I am at the cabin.' I replied.

'We are coming.' Oh no.

'Noooo. Not now. One of the shifters is with me. I will explain everything when I come back. Maybe

tonight.' I explained a bit panicked.

'What the hell is going on over there?' he asked. Papa seems to be really mad.

'I don't know. But I think the one with me was ordered not to leave my side.' I said irritated. Like I was

going to run.

'They didn't hurt you, did they?' he sound worried.

'No. I am absolutely fine. I healed someone and as usual I blacked out.'

'Okay. Be safe.'

'Yup bye.'

I turned around and Asher was looking at me weirdly.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked.

"Who were you talking to?" he asked suspiciously. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Umm what?

"I didn't even open my mouth dude. You must be hallucinating." I blabbered out.

"You were talking in the mind link to someone you called papa. Is that your alpha?" he asked furrowing

his brows.

Holy Shit! How did he hear me talking to them?

I laughed out loud," I am not a werewolf to talk with people in the mind link. You are hearing things. I

think you need to rest for a while. You are acting weird."

"No I heard you both talking. You called me a shifter. Others also heard you Saturday night talking in

the mind link. How did you do that?" he asked firmly.

How is it even possible?

"I have no idea what you are talking about." I said pathetically.

"Lie all you want. The alpha is going to question you about it tonight." He said smirking.

My mouth hung open. What am I going to say to them?

"I am going to take a shower. Make yourself comfortable." I said snappily.

I turned around and went inside the cabin with Asher following suit.

"I am sorry about yesterday morning. I didn't mean to hurt you. I was just so happy to finally have my

mate that I lost control." Asher said once we were inside.

"Well I did break your nose. So you don't need to apologize. I would be happier though if your nose

didn’t heal so damn fast." I said without looking at him. I grumbled the last part but I know he heard me.

"Are you accepting me as your mate then?" he said hopefully.

"I thought it was mandatory. I didn't knew one can reject their mate." I joked facing him.

He visibly paled. "Off course it is mandatory. You are not getting rid of me ever." He said stubbornly.

"I know." He is definitely cute. “Can I ask you something?”

“Off course.” He said smiling.

“Why were you embarrassed earlier? You know when you were explaining the events earlier.” He

gulped.

“It’s nothing.” He said looking anywhere but at me. He is definitely hiding something.

“Spill.” I said narrowing my eyes at him.

“It was an accident.” He said twisting his fingers nervously. I stayed silent, waiting. “Well… Umm…

After everybody left… and I was with you alone in the room… umm… you see your scent was too

overwhelming… and… I lost control.” He said looking at the floor.

“Don’t tell me you did something.” I hissed.

“It’s just… please don’t be mad at me.” He pleaded. “I was just looking at you and I didn’t knew when I

got too close to you. But before I knew it I was hovering over you and kissed you.” He has got to be

kidding me. First he forcefully kissed me, slamming into the wall and again when I was passed out. I

am so going to murder him painfully. “I wasn’t going to kiss you at first. But then, when I was close, our

noses touched and your breath hit my lips.” I can feel blood creeping up my neck. I looked down from

embarrassment. “Your scent entered my nose, then my lips touched yours and I lost it. The feeling of

you under me was so incredible that I had to run out of the house to clear my head.” He cupped my

face and rested his forehead on my hairs. When did he get this close to me? “I know what I did was

wrong and I swear I won’t kiss you again if you are not completely awake.” He tilted my head up with

one hand and his other arm snaked around my waist. He kissed my forehead, pulled me closer and

wrapped his hands around me, hugging me and resting his cheek on my hair. “I’m sorry. Not about

kissing you though.” He chuckled. “But after that I kept my distance till the night. I might have spooned

you in sleep.”

I know I am blushing too hard by now. My face must be redder than a tomato. I hid my face in his chest

and clutched the sides of his t-shirt. This feels perfect, like this is where I am supposed to be, with him

and in his arms. I pried myself off of him and ran into the bathroom. I heard him chuckle behind me.

What was this feeling? For now I am going to push this in the back of my mind. I have more pressing

matters to worry about in the moment. I cleaned myself up and then Asher went to shower. This is the

right time. Maybe he won't hear me this time.

'Papa'

'Yes' he replied.

'They heard me talking to you in the mind link on Saturday and also before when I was talking to you.

They are going to question me about it. Should I tell them everything?' I asked worried.

'Yes. We will be there. In case they ask for proof, we will show ourselves.'

'I am sorry papa because of me, all this is happening.' This is all my fault. Why do I have to be so

stupid?

'It's not your fault princess. It was bound to happen someday when we decided to take you in the pack.'

'And one more thing. I am the third in command's mate.' I said as casually as I can manage. I bit my lip

waiting for his reply.

'Whaaaat?' Ryder butted in. Just like I thought.

'Stop shouting Ryder.' I said to him wincing.

'Tell him to not come in ten foot diameter of you or I will do it myself. I will chop off his balls if he even

touches you until you are at least eighteen.' Here we go again.

'He is in the cabin right now taking a shower.' Messing with Ryder is so much fun.

'I am coming there.' He hissed.

'No you are not.’ I said to Ryder’s hissing self. ‘Papa do you mind putting him on a leash?' I asked papa

playfully.

'I am thinking the same thing princess and stop over reacting Ryder. But on the second thought, throw

your mate out of the cabin before I tear him to pieces.' Papa said growling. Well those are some strong

words.

'Haha take that princess.' Ryder sniggered.

'He is just taking a shower. So stop exaggerating. You two are such drama queens.' I said sighing.

'Kings.' Ryder corrected.

'Yeah whatever. See you later.' I grumbled.

'Bye'

Asher came out after a few minutes and sat beside me on the couch.

"You were talking to them again." he stated. There is no point in lying then.

"Hmm"

"So should we leave? Cause I would like my balls attached to my body." He joked grinning.

We laughed together.

"Don't worry. Ryder won't do anything." I assured him.

"How did you get the pack mark?" he asked.

"By getting accepted in the pack."

"How? I mean we got this mark when we first shifted. You are not a shifter." He inquired.

"Ummhmm. You will know everything later." I stated.

"So what now?" he asked.

"I will cook lunch. I will get hungry soon."

He laughed," We just ate."

"So what. I am a growing human. I need my nutrients." I said poking my tongue at him.

"Whatever you say. I will help you."

"No its okay. I will manage." he opened his mouth to say something but I cut him off "Don't"

"Fine. But we have to go back after eating. Everyone will be home soon. It is half past twelve already."

He said worried.

"Sure."

"Have I been here before? This place feels so familiar." He said looking around.

"Maybe" Your wolf was here before he met you.

I cooked pasta. We ate and left at 2. We reached the meeting place or the house at half past two. By

then everyone was already there. I got off of his back and he went to shift. As soon as I got in I was

tackled by Aaron in a bear hug.

"You are choking me.", he let go of me immediately.

"Sorry.", he said blushing "How are you?"

"Better. How was school? Did anyone hurt you? If yes, give me the names. Their ass is grass

tomorrow." I said clenching my fist.

"Nobody bullied me. The Knights were asking about you though and Elena too. I told them you are out

of town for some personal reasons." He replied smiling.

"Thanks."

Carter held Aaron's hand and pulled Aaron towards him. Aaron turned bright red. We all laughed. I

grinned at him and he glared at me still blushing. I will tease him later.

"You know the Knights." Leo asked.

"Yup. Why did you ask? Do you know them too?" I asked.

"You know about them don't you?" The question was rhetorical.

"Yeah I do." Still I confirmed.

"So?" he inquired.

"My family doesn't mind it. Besides they are nice people."

"This is weird. I won't trust them if I were you."

"Ryder said the same thing. He doesn't mind anymore though."

"Ryder?"

"My brother."

"Oh ok." he wanted to say something but was hesitating.

"I know what you are going to ask me, so I am going to tell you everything."

"We can do that later. I just wanted to say thank you for healing Aby. It means a lot to us. And welcome

to the pack."

"No need to thank me. It's what I am supposed to do. I am part of this pack since I was ten. Thank you

though. I missed you guys a lot." Me and my fat mouth.

He was about to say something but Aby hugged me. She thanked me. Asher came from behind me

and circled his hands around my waist. He rested his chin on my shoulder.

"I thought you like your balls attached to your body." I joked.

"I do but I can't stay that long without touching you." He said smiling.

I tried to get away from him but he tightened his hold on me. I sighed and gave in.
