A Girl Adopted

Chapter 31- Asher

I sat on the river shore and rested my head on my front paws. The sound of the flowing water helped to

calm me down. I closed my eyes listing to the sounds of the jungle. The birds, the wind rustling the

leaves of the trees, the hooves of the deer hitting the leaves and moss on the ground, the scent of the

plants and flowers….

I woke up suddenly. Oh my god! How long have I been sleeping? I ran all the way back to the woods

near my house and shifted. I hastily wore my clothes on, took the keys of my bike out of my bag from

the porch and drove off towards Amara’s school. I hope everything goes fine.

I reached there barely on time. The school looked almost empty. Is she alright? She looks so pale and

exhausted. She is on the back of one of the vampires, her eyes closed. Did she faint again?

"What happened to her?" I asked.

She didn’t open her eyes. Is she alright?

"Amy.", I called. Her lips slightly curved upwards.

She slid off of the vampire’s back and opened her eyes. She looked at me startled and rubbed her

eyes. Then she frowned.

"I should get back home. I am beat and I am seeing things. I should go sleep." She said to the others.

Is she ignoring me? Ouch! That hurts. But I deserve it. I will make it right one way or another.

"Amy who is that?" Elena asked her.

"Who is who?" She asked confused? Did she not see me here?

"That guy behind you." She turned around and looked at me. Her eyes wide with shock.

"What are you doing here?" She asked glaring.

I was thinking of something to say but she shook her head and blushed. What happened? Did I do

something?

"We should get going. Come on guys." Aaron said to the others. Thanks buddy.

"I came to see you. Don't be mad at me please." I said looking at her expression. No problem so far.

Still I should proceed with caution. Wow this feels like a military mission. Well as long as the prize is

her, I will do anything.

"Didn't Leo order you not to come near me?" She snapped. How did she know that?

"He has no rights to keep me away from you." I said moving near her. I stood right in front of her. I can

hear her heart beating fast. Mine is not resting easy either. The only difference is, she can’t hear my

heart go out of control.

"What do you want?" She asked weakly. She tried to move back but I pulled her towards me.

"I am sorry. Please don't be angry with me.” I said resting my forehead on hers and closed my eyes.

I don’t want her to hate me or to leave me. She tried to move away but I held her face with my left hand

and her waist with my right, pulling her flush to me. I heard her gasp.

"I missed you so much. I love you Amy." The words just tumbled out of my mouth.

I finally said it. I poured my whole heart in those words. I hope she feels the same way. That weird

happy feeling is back in my stomach and I started kissing her. I knew she forgave me the moment she

put her arms around me and started kissing me back. We pulled off after a few seconds or was it few

minutes? I don’t know. I pecked her lips and smiled at her. She forgave me that’s all that matters. Heat

crawled up her neck and she looked down maybe to hide her face. She looks embarrassed. I hugged

her and kissed the top of her head.

"You have no idea how hard it is to stay away from you. I will always stay by your side even if they kick

me out of the pack." I said.

She looked up at me. I can’t wipe the smile off of my face. I can barely stop myself from grinning. I

won’t hurt her again.

"You don't have to leave your pack for me. If you have to choose, please choose them. I don't want to

separate you from your pack." She said horrified.

"Don't worry about it, they won't kick me out. You are my mate. They have no right to keep you away

from me. It's against the pack rules. Leo is just scared, that there is someone more dominant and

powerful than him out there. Alphas don't usually tolerate such things. He will come around anyways." I

said. Actually they can’t kick me out of the pack. They have no right to keep me away from my mate.

Even if they did, I don’t care anymore. I will be out on my own accords.

"How are you so sure?" She asked.

"We know each other since diapers. I know how his mind works." I said smugly.

She hummed in response.

"Let's go home. I called the diner yesterday morning to tell them that you are not coming this week." I

think I over stepped there but I was worried about her yesterday and I didn’t knew then if she was going

to be alright to go to her shift.

"How do you know where I work?" She asked frowning.

"Aaron told me." I said shrugging.

"Okay." Thank god she is not mad at me.

"Hop on." I said sitting on my bike and grinning.

"How are we supposed to go to my cabin on a bike?" She asked. Here’s the hard part.

"We can't.” I said grinning widely but on the inside I am worried as hell. “We are going to my house."

"Why? Your pack wouldn't like it." She said perplexed.

"Our pack." I corrected "They can deal with it. Come on. Let's go."

She sat on the bike and we zoomed off. I heard her talking to her father in the mind link. She wound

her arms around my waist.

"Slow down please. I really value my life." She shouted over the wind and the sound of the bike.

I laughed but slowed down. Don’t want to scare her do we now. She rested her head on my back. I

wish we will be like this forever and no more problems will arise in our lives. I hope everything goes fine

at my house.
