Her Freezing Heart

Chapter 10- Amara

I woke up in the morning to find my bags packed and so were Cassidy and Grayson’s. Aaron gave me

a hug and left for his classes. He seems a little distant lately. He didn’t even looked lightly concerned

about me or was it just me being overly dramatic. I hope it’s the later. He must be really busy. Our

plane leaves at ten so we left the apartment at eight. I slept through the entire journey. I still felt a little

weak. Our plane landed at the Airport at half past eight. From here it’s a half an hour ride to Greycoast.

We boarded a taxi and carried on with our journey.

As soon as we started the taxi ride, I could feel the pack link getting stronger. There is this other sinking

feeling as well but I ignore it now and focus on more pressing matters first. It must be my nerves

messing with my head. I need to ask papa if I am allowed to bring Cassidy and Grayson to the cabin. I

am not sure I should though. They helped me a lot but they are strangers after all. Besides they are

super naturals and I am one hundred percent sure they are not supposed to know about papa and

Ryder. I should just drive them over to Alec’s. I can sneak off to the cabin in the middle of the night to

meet papa and Ryder. I have already told him about us coming.

“I think it will be better to head to Alec’s now. It’s kind of getting really late now.” I voiced my thoughts.

Not the complete thoughts though. The mind link was back on by now. I should contact papa or maybe

I should just go there in person.

“I think we should go there directly.” Cassidy said.

Please cut me some slack. I can’t take them there. Papa will hand me my ass. Besides I need to talk to

my family in private. My father is dying after all.

“Sorry. I can’t take you to the cabin. It’s kind of a person home for me. We will stay at Alec’s for now. I

will ask the pack alpha if I can bring you there. Then and after then only I will take you there. I know I

am coming out quite rude but I just can’t.” I told her with finality in my voice. “I am already breaching the

pack law by bringing a witch and a warlock in the pack lands. I don’t want to get in anymore trouble. I

hope you can understand where I am coming from.”

I need to tell Leo about them as well. I can do that tomorrow when I will go meet Asher. His name made

the sinking feeling in my stomach more pronounced. I hope he is not mad at me anymore. Maybe he

will kiss the living day lights out of me when he sees me at his doorsteps. We haven’t seen each other

for a while now.

“Okay.” Cassidy replied.

Well that was easy. I gave the cab driver Alec’s address. After we arrived at the apartment and

unloaded our bags, I called Alec to take us inside the front door which was obviously locked. A few

seconds later, I heard the front door slam open and I was engulfed in my brother’s arms. I missed him

so much.

“Whoa!” he said letting go of me and holding me at the arms. He gave me a once over but his eyes

lingered more on my face. “What happened to you?”

“What do you mean?” I asked confused.

Do I have something on my face?

“Have you looked at your face in the mirror lately? You look really pale and you have large dark circles

around your eyes. If I didn’t knew better, I would have thought you were suffering from some serious

disease or something.” He said chuckling. “You aren’t right?” This time he looked possibly terrified.

“Off course not.” I replied. “I had no idea I am looking that terrible. I just got out of a high fever

yesterday. Maybe that’s why I am looking like this.” I lied.

“I know you are lying about that fever.” He said narrowing his eyes at me in a very mom like way

making me gulp. “But I know you will tell me everything. Well we should get inside. Caleb and Carter

are upstairs, fixing us dinner.”

Cassidy cleared her throat behind me. Oops I totally forgot about them.

“This is Cassidy and Grayson, my landlords.” I introduced then to Alec. “And this is my brother, Alec.”

They shook each other’s hands and we started ascending to Alec’s apartment. Alec was carrying my

bag and Grayson was carrying Cassidy and his bag. The door was open and the scent of lasagne was

drifting out of the door making my mouth water making Alec laugh in my face. I ignored him and speed

walked to inside the apartment which I once shared with Alec. It was just the same except for the two

hot twins cooking in the kitchen. This place brought back many memories of the high school. The good

ones off course but it still gave me the knowing pang in my chest which I have no idea what it is about.

“Hey guys.” I greeted them grinning.

At the same moment my stomach grumbled loudly making them laugh. I blushed because of my

embarrassing stomach. Alec came in with my bag followed by Cassidy and Grayson. As soon as they

entered the room, the atmosphere changed completely. The twins stopped laughing and pulled Alec

and I behind them, low threatening growls coming out there mouth. Holy shit! How could I forget? I was

going to talk to Leo tomorrow but they are werewolves too. Shit! Shit! Shit! Cassidy stood there unfazed

and Grayson was looking around the apartment, paying no attention to the two mad wolves.

“Umm… Caleb… Carter… why don’t we sit down?” I asked.

“WHY ARE THEY HERE?” Caleb growled.

They both looked to be on the verge of shifting. Oh no!

“I can explain.” I said nervously.

“You know what they are?” Carter asked confused.

He almost looked like I did a terrible crime which I sort of did bring a witch and a warlock on the pack

lands. I have to tell them the truth about the circumstances or lord save me from these two. Cassidy

looked to be enjoying the show and Grayson looked bored out of his mind.

“Yeah. They are my landlords and they told me about them yesterday after I woke up from a coma.” I

whispered looking at the floor.

“WHAT?” Alec’s voice rang sharply in the apartment giving me a headache.

Oh this is going to be interesting.
