A Girl Adopted by Wolves
Chapter 13- Amara

The week passed by pretty quickly and it is already Saturday. On theMonday evening, I talked to papa and Ryder about befriending theKnights. Papa was pretty much good with it. Ryder, he took on the overprotective brother mode and was against of me going to the dinnertoday. But he came around in the end after a bit of scolding from papa.This is really weird though. The vampires inviting humans for dinner? Imean aren't we supposed to be their dinner. Well I should not judgethem by their species. I am going to Elena's place first, from where weare going in her car to the Knight's house. I was going to run their orask Ryder to drop me off but Ryder was being a brat. Before I can sayanything about how I will be coming, Elena made the current plans.Well that is fine with me too. The only problem is that I would have tosee father. I hope that doesn't happen though. I am not up to anyawkward moments today or like... ever.

So, here 1 am outside her house or father's house about to ring the bell.There is also an unfamiliar car parked in their driveway. I think theyhave guests over. Should I or should I not? What am I afraid of? I didn'tdo anything wrong. I pressed the button of the doorbell. It rang andthe door opened within a few seconds. Crap! Its father. He stared at mein surprise... I think. There was a man and a boy sitting on the livingroom sofa. The boy was wearing a sleeve less T-shirt and shorts. I cansee a glimpse of a tattoo on his left bicep. He must be one of theshifters. He turned his head towards me. He has blue eyes and blackhair with golden highlights. I turned my head towards father and asked,"Is Elena ready Mr. Cross?" I smiled at him. Way to go girly.

"Um... she is upstairs. You can go check." Father replied a bit awkwardly."Do you mind calling her out? We are actually running a bit late.” I saidas casually as I can manage.

"Sure." He replied.

He went upstairs to call her. This is the longest civil conversation I everhad with him. Oh this is the only conversation I ever had with him. Hisbrawling when I was ten does not count as a conversation right. Theboy came towards me and extended his hand to shake.

"Hey. I am Leorio.” He said smiling.

I took his hand in mine, "I am Amara."

"You look familiar. Have we met before?" He might have sensed that Iam a part of his pack. He looks really confused. Hehehe. This is fun. Iwonder who he is. His aura is strong, He might be Tyler or Raven.

"You might have seen me here in summer holidays. I come here everyyear and recently moved in this town." I replied smiling

"Yeah I guess.” He said still a bit confused.

Elena came down stairs,

"Sorry. Did you wait too long? Why are you standing outside? Come onin."

"No. I just got here. We should get going. Are you done?" I asked."Yup. Let's go."

She then turned towards father who was standing behind her and said,"Dad I will be late, so don't wait for me. Bye. Love you. Bye Leo."

"Okay. Be careful. Love you too." father said to her

"Bye Elena.” then Leo turned towards me "Bye Amara."

Bye"

Elena and I got in her car and set off on the road. It is a twenty minutes’drive to the Knights.

“Do you know Leo?" Elena asked.

"No. We met just now.” I met his wolf six years ago but don't knowwhich one he is, I said to myself.

"How can you not know him? He used to come to dad's house insummer. He is the son of dad's friend Mr. Cale.” She said it like I am sostupid to forget such important details.

"Well I wasn't really a part of the family to know Mr. Cross's friends andother things." I snapped.

She didn't say anything after that. I didn't mean to kill the mood but Ican't do anything now. What's done is done. We reached the Knightshouse and got out of Elena's car. Alex came out of the house andhugged Elena and kissed her on her cheek. Then he came in front of meand hugged me. I never expected that. I smiled at him. He said tofollow him and we went in. Natalie and Oliver came running down thestairs in barely a second and hugged us both. Oliver hugged me andnodded his head at Elena. William and Grace were standing at thebottom of the steps. Grace smiled at us.

"How are you kid?" William asked me.

"Good. Sorry for leaving like that the other day.” I said sheepishly.

“It's okay. You must be scared.” He said smiling. Why does everybodykeep repeating that? I am not that much of a coward or maybe I am."Yeah." Something like that.

"Come on let's start dinner."

We walked towards the dining table and took our seats. Grace andWilliam sat on one end. Natalie on William's side. Oliver next to Natalieand I sat next to Oliver. Beside me is Elena and Alex is next to hercompleting the circle. Food is already on the table.

"Elena tell us about yourself. We are dying to get to know you better.You are a part of our family now." William said to Elena. Ohh this lookslike an interview.

"I am from Easterden. My parents got divorced when I was a fewmonths older than one. Dad moved here. I lived with mom in Easterdentill this year. We came here to visit dad every summer though. I movedin with dad two weeks ago.” Elena replied blushing ferociously from thesudden attention.

"How are you liking it here so far?" Grace asked kindly.

We started eating. I looked at them confused. How are they eatinghuman food? Oh they are not eating. They just have food placed infront of them. Maybe they don't want us feel out of place.

"The weather is different here. It's not that bad I guess. How do youguys know Amara?" She inquired.

Well that was unexpected or I can say out of nowhere.

Oliver answered,” Alex and I were hunting in the woods. She waswalking by. I lost control and almost killed her. She fainted and webrought her home. That is how we met.” he turned towards me "I amreally sorry for that but I am also glad that we met." He said grinning."It's okay. It wasn't your fault anyway. You did help me later." I repliedgrinning back.

"I am glad I didn't hurt you kid." He said sighing in relief.

"Hey I am not a kid. I sixteen years old." I huffed and poked my tongueat him.

Everyone started laughing. What did I do?

"Yeah whatever you say kid." he said mocking me and emphasizing theword kid"

"Natalie tell him not to call me kid. I am a grown up.” Everyone laughedagain. "Why are you all laughing?”

"Nothing.", Oliver said smirking at me. I huffed and continued eating.
