A Girl Adopted

Chapter 27- Amara

I woke up in the morning with my alarm blaring in my ears. I am still feeling really dejected about

yesterday's incident. I am sure it's showing on my face. Papa and Ryder knew something is wrong but

knew I wanted to be left alone yesterday. But I am not sure anymore. I knew them for a really short

period of time but the thought of rejection is depressing. I thought I will have a human family again but it

went down the drain really quickly. I will get over it anyway. I always do. Smile Amara, smile. Keep

smiling. Everything is going to be just fine. I checked my phone and there were texts from the Knights

and Elena. There were a couple texts from Alec too.

'See you at school.' from Oliver, Natalie and Elena.

'I am coming to pick you up. You better explain yourself kid.' from Alex.

What does he mean by that? I will find out soon anyway. I am not ready for an interrogation right now. I

did my morning routine and got ready for school. I ate cereal as I was not in a mood of cooking. I

reached the door knob of the front door to open it, but it opened before I can. Alex came in and sat on

the sofa in the front room.

"What do you want?" I am really not in a good mood.

"Where were you yesterday and Sunday and Saturday night as well?" he asked.

How does he know I wasn't here from Saturday night? Is this guy spying on me?

"I was out of town." I replied in a monotone.

"Don't you dare lie to me kid. Your face is saying everything. Something is bothering you. You look so

depressed and wretched." I don't want to get my hopes up again and get myself crushed.

"Why do you care?" I snapped.

"I am just worried about you. I came here Saturday night and you weren't here. I came here Sunday

evening as well, but you weren't here again. Then you missed school on Monday as well. I was worried

that something might have happened to you. You are not going out of that door without telling me what

happened." He said stubbornly.

“Oh really. Then both of us are not going to school today.” I replied coldly.

“But why are you not telling me? I was worried sick about you. You look like something is killing you

from the inside.” He said concerned.

"I can't tell you." I said sighing.

"Please. I can't see you like this. You are like a sister to me. Whoever is responsible for this, I am surely

going to slaughter them." He said seriously.

I laughed," You don't have to slaughter anyone. You don't know the entire truth."

"What are you hiding Amy? I swear I won't judge you." He said expectantly.

Should I tell him? If he wants to leave, he can leave right now. I won't have to face this rejection in the

future. It will all be over at once. But am I ready for losing more people? If he finds out any other way,

he will feel betrayed, they all will. He is already a part of this world so it won't be a problem. I should get

over with it before it's too late. I hope he understands. I know they are enemies but still a person can

hope. If it doesn't work out as I expected, I can get back to how it was before. I turned around showing

him my back and undid the buttons of my shirt and lowered it off of my left shoulder so my pack mark

was visible to him.

"Why are you showing me your tattoo?" he asked.

I buttoned my shirt and faced him. Confusion crossed over his face but passed as soon as it came.

"I know you know what that tattoo means." I said.

"But it's impossible. You are human." He declared.

"I didn't say I am not human." I said taking a deep breath. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Then what does it mean? Because I am one hundred percent sure you are not a werewolf." He said

confused.

"We have school and we will get late." I said biting my lip. Why can’t he just let it be how it is? Why

does he have to know everything? I know I am chickening out but I don’t want anyone to pity me or be

scared of me.

"We can skip first period. Just tell me already." He said stubbornly.

I told him everything till yesterday. All the time, looking towards my feet. When I looked up at him, he

looked furious. His face looked murderous. He was looking at the wall in front of us. He might drill a

hole in the wall with that look. So he is angry at me too. Of course, they are enemies. I should have

known this. This time I could't stop myself from crying. He looked towards me, his eyes wide.

"You can go if you want. I can understand. I am sort of from your enemy family. You must be hating me

right now for deceiving you." He hugged me.

"What the hell are you talking about? Why would I hate you?" he asked confused.

"But you looked angry." I mumbled griping his shirt in my fists.

"I am not angry at you. I am angry at the guy who calls him your mate and those bastard werewolves

and your parents also and Elena too. How can they do this to you?" he spat angrily.

"Don't be mad at Elena. She is trying to get in terms with me. I can see it in her eyes that she regrets

what she did. Please. She is not a bad person." I pleaded. I don’t want to take her mate away from her.

"I will talk to her later. You have us. Don't you ever feel lonely. You have all of us including your papa,

your brother, your uncle and aunt and Alec too. Okay?" he said soothingly.

"Yeah. Thank you so much." I replied, relieved.

"You don't have to thank me. Are you feeling okay?" he asked.

"Yup. We should go to the school though or we will miss the second period as well." I said wiping my

eyes.

"Okay. But are you sure you want to go?" he asked.

"I will be fine. Let me freshen up, so I will look less horrid." I joked.

He laughed and nodded. I washed my face and we went to the school. My face is still flushed and eyes

are red and puffy. He went to his class and I went to mine which is calculus. I entered the class with my

head down and sat at my usual seat which is beside Aaron. Oh well, this is going to be awkward. He

looked towards me when I took my seat. His expressions changed. He looked worried and guilty. I must

be looking hideous. He was about to say something but the teacher came in and started teaching. I laid

my head on the table and closed my eyes. Crying always makes me sleepy. I slept through the lecture.

The sound of bell woke me up. I picked my bag and was about to leave, but Aaron stopped me.

"Amy are you alright?" he asked worried.

"Yeah.", I said smiling. Fake or real, it's still a smile. I don't want him to feel bad.

"You don't look good though. We can go home if you want." He said looking at my puffed eyes and

flushed face.

We. Are you for real?

"Why would you come with me? Carter won't like it or more like allow it. You don't even have to talk to

me if you want. I don't want to be a problem in your relationship." I said smiling but I know my face

must have deceived me.

"What the hell are you talking about? And who the hell is he to tell me whom to talk to and whom to

not? If he has a problem with you, he can suck it up.” He said angrily “I am sorry for yesterday. I didn't

mean it that way. Please don't be indifferent with me. You are my best friend and I am not going to

leave you ever." He apologized.

I am stoked. I hugged him really tight.

"I thought you will leave me too." I said relieved that he wants to be with me.

"You are not getting rid of me ever in your life." he said in a sassy way.

We laughed and went to our next class. I can't express how happy I am right now. I thought today will

be a bad day but it turned out to be one of the best. On the top though, will always be the day I met

papa and the others.
