A Girl Adopted

Chapter 15- Amara

Alex and I are in his car going to my cabin right now. He drove a bit further from his house, pulled over

to a side and we got off.

"Hop on." He said crouching in front of me.

I climbed on his back and in a few minutes I was home. My eyes widened in shock seeing Ryder sitting

outside of the cabin flaring his nostrils. What if Alex sees him? Ryder’s got to be stupid for doing this. I

am having a mini panic attack right now and Ryder is glaring at Alex totally ignoring me. Oh silly me.

Ryder can't be seen unless he wants to be seen and I don't think he wants to be seen by a certain

someone, when that said someone is a vampire. I got off of Alex's back.

"Thank you." I said still a bit tense.

"No actually I should be the one thanking you." He said smiling.

"Why?" I asked confused.

"I don't know what you did the other night, but after that, Oliver is completely changed. He used to be

so closed off. He never let his guard down before but now he is so, how can I put this.....happy and

content. I am glad he opened up to us. We know him from more than three hundred years, but I have

never seen him like this. Enjoying his life, I mean. Thank you so much. Others don't know about the

incident. But they think he changed because of you, which is very much true. That day I was more

shocked about how he reacted towards you. I have never seen him talk to someone so softly, not even

to Natalie. He is never that relaxed around anyone like you saw him today. Thank you so very much for

that." Alex said gratefully. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

"Now I know why you all were looking at him like that when he was dancing like a maniac." I said

laughing.

"Yeah." He said grinning.

"But I didn't do anything. You don't have to thank me for that. Just forget what happened. Okay?" I said

hoping he would truly forget it.

"Okay. But I will try to find out what that was." He said thoughtfully.

"Fine.", I said giving a big yawn.

"You should go sleep. You have to go shopping tomorrow with those goons. Just a heads up, Natalie is

crazy about shopping. So be prepared." He ruffled my hairs.

"But I just want an ice cream." I said pouting.

"No escape now kid." He grinned.

"You too." I groaned "I am not a kid. I am just a year younger than you." he raised his eyebrow at me."

Okay. Not just a year. You got my point though."

"Yeah but I will stick to calling you kid. It's fun to annoy you." He grinned widely.

I huffed and turned around towards my cabin," I am so not talking to you ever."

He laughed," We'll see how long that lasts. Good night kid."

"Good night." I mumbled.

He was gone just like that. Ryder was now narrowing his eyes at me. Oh this is so not good. I went to

him,

"Hey big brother. What's up?" I asked innocently smiling at him.

"I do not appreciate you being this close to them Amy. They are dangerous for you. You know what I

mean right." He said huffing in annoyance.

"I know Ryder but they are really nice people. I don't think they will ever intentionally hurt me." I said

sighing.

"I know. But I am still worried and you can't stop me from getting worried about my one and only baby

sister."

"Yeah I won't stop you from worrying. You will get a lots of wrinkles though." I said smiling playfully.

"I am a wolf. I don't get wrinkles. By the way I want details." He said huffing. Grumpy are we now.

"You are asking like I went on a date or something." I said raising my eyebrows questionably.

"Just so you know, you are not allowed to date until you are at least thirty." he said seriously.

"Like seriously. Do you want me to die single?" I asked horrified.

"Just tell me about the dinner." he said ignoring my question.

"I will tell you tomorrow. I really want to sleep now." I huffed and went inside. Ryder was laughing, I

don't know why.

Sunday morning I woke up at six, grumbling due to the lack of sleep. I trained with papa till noon. I tried

that healing thing, but didn't succeed in it. Maybe papa was right. I do need a trigger. I told Ryder about

Saturday's dinner, which he didn't comment anything on. I am really getting certain he will explode any

day now and go on a rampage. Well that would be a sight worth a million dollars, a huge see through

wolf throwing tantrums. At 5 in the evening I met Natalie and Oliver at the small mall we have in the

town. Alex was right about Natalie. She is crazy about shopping. We had ice cream after visiting every

possible shop with clothes in them as an item of purchase. When did shopping became this torturing?

My legs are hurting because of all the running we did due to a certain someone. But it was worth it. We

had lots of fun.

Monday mornings are dreadful, as you have to drag your ass out of the bed and to the school. Ryder

dropped me off at the usual spot. I went inside and someone hugged me real tight squeezing the air

out of me. It was none other than Aaron.

"You are cutting my air supply." I said tapping his back.

"I missed you so much." He said letting go of me.

"I missed you too." Geez I love this guy. He is so adorable.

We went to our first class, biology as usual. Alex and Elena were already there being all lovey dovey.

How do people get so early to school every day? Classes went by like usual. Last bell rang and we

were walking out of the school. As usual Aaron, Elena and Knight's cars were magically parked next to

each other. I should get used to the pattern I guess. Elena, Alex, Oliver and Natalie were standing their

chatting with each other. We were a good twenty foot away from them when Aaron stopped me. I

turned my head towards him giving him a questioning look.

"Let's go to the beach." He said out of nowhere.

I gave him the 'are you crazy' look and said," I work on the weekdays. Why all of a sudden though?"

"Just call in sick. We don't get much alone time together anymore and I have to talk to you about

something. So please come with me. We can go cliff jumping too." He said almost pleading.

"Fine. Just let me call the diner." I said giving up.

He fist pumped in the air. I laughed at him and called the diner about not coming today.

"When are we leaving?" I asked.

"Its 2 o clock now. How about in an hour."

"Sounds cool to me."

"Okay then meet me here at three." He said jumping up and down.

"Okay." I said nodding.

He ran towards his car grinning like a fool and took off. I waved at Elena and the Knights and went to

the back of the school. At the usual place Ryder was waiting for me. I climbed on his back and off we

went.
