A Girl Adopted by Wolves
Chapter 34- Amara

I got up and pulled Aaron with me towards the sea. We played in thewater. Aaron lifted me up and threw me in the water quiteunceremoniously. When I surfaced he was standing stiff and staringstraight ahead. I followed his gaze. Carter was standing there on thebeach. He looked worried and angry at the same time. Aaron and Iwalked near him.

"I am sorry for what I did earlier Aaron. Can we talk?" Carter saidanxiously.

"It's okay. Just don't force me to do anything again.” Aaron replied."Can we go somewhere private?" Aaron looked hesitant. Hurt crossedacross Carter's face.

"Aaron give him a chance to explain himself." I said.

"What about you?" Aaron asked.

"I will walk back home anyway or Ryder will pick me up.” I said smiling. Ihope everything gets fine between them.

Carter nodded at me. I smiled at him and waved at Aaron. They left andI sat on the same log we sat earlier. Sun is already setting. How longwere we here? I sat there watching the water. I shivered due to the coldwind. My clothes are still wet. I looked up towards the stars. How longdid I sat here watching the waves?

So I was right about Asher. Maybe we weren't meant to be together. Idon't know why I expect too much from people. Why don't I get usedto people not wanting me in their lives? Maybe father was right. Iwasn't supposed to be born. Everyone would be happy then. Becauseof me, father and mother got separated. Because of me the wolf spiritsand the shifters world crashed into each other. Because of me uncleand aunt have to go through father and mother's hatred. Because ofme Mathew almost got killed by papa. Because of me Asher got a matewho is not good enough. Maybe he would have got someone better if Iwasn't born.

A sob broke out of my mouth. I touched my cheeks to replace themalready wet. When did I start crying? More sobs followed. I slid downthe log and curled myself into a ball. I promised myself not to cry overmy problems but I myself broke it. Why am I such a nuisance to theworld? People get hurt emotionally and physically around me. Nobodycan be happy around me. I should leave as soon as possible. It's reallycold out here. My teeth are clattering due to the cold. I closed my eyestightly to stop myself from crying. Maybe I should just sleep heretonight. It's a long way back to the cabin. Ryder and papa will getworried if they saw my face right now. My stomach is growling fromhunger. I haven't ate anything after lunch in the school. I felt a presenceon the beach behind me. Should I get up? I am hiccupping now from allthe crying. Being invisible does not sound like an option here. Theperson must have heard me or maybe not because of the sound of thecrashing waves. Just let me cry my heart out for once without anyonepitying me.

The person came right in front of me and crouched. I heard a gasp.Then I felt a warm hand on my cheeks. I opened my eyes. The personlooked blur at first. I rubbed my eyes to get a clear view. It's none otherthan Asher. I got up in a sitting position. His eyes never left me.

"Um hi." I managed to say with my clattering teeth.

He didn't say anything. He removed his jacket and put it around me.The heat started to seep into me immediately. I felt a bit better. He tookmy hand and pulled me towards the foot of the hill. We went into thewoods. He went ahead leaving me there and came out shifted in hiswolf. He crouched down for me to climb. I was going to protest but hegrowled at me. I climbed on his back and held him tight burying myface in his neck. He is so warm. He stopped outside my cabin. I got offof his back. He went in the woods. I turned around and entered thecabin. He came in right after me. I thought he will leave. Maybe I waswrong.

He took my hand in his again. My stomach growled quite loudly and Iblushed. He walked me to the kitchen counter. I sat there. He startedrummaging in the fridge for god know what.

"You don't have to do all this." My voice came out as a whisper.

He glared at me and I put my head down. He doesn't have the right toglare at me. After some time he put a bowl of soup in front of me. I atewithout saying anything. I don't know what he is trying to do. He putthe bowl in the sink when I finished it. He held my hand and took me tothe bedroom. He removed his jacket from my body and put it on thechair nearby. He pulled me towards the bed. I slid in the blanket. Heslept beside me, spooning me from behind. All the cold disappeared."What are doing? You don't have to do this for me." I tried to get out ofhis hold but he tightened it around me and buried his face in the crookof my neck.

"You don't have to take care of me just because I am what you got as amate. I am sorry for being such a disappointment. You don't have toput up with me. I will leave as soon as possible.” My voice broke in theend.

He turned me around to face him. Our faces right in front of each other.He hovered over me. Our lips almost touching. This is not good.

"You are not going anywhere. You are mine." He growled possessively.Is he bipolar?

"But you don't want me as your mate right. So let's just live our livesseparately. You will definitely replace someone better than me.” I saidconfused.

"Why do you think I don't want you? I love you Amy. I thought youknew about all these rules as you grew up with the wolves. I am reallysorry for whatever I put you through. Don't leave me please. I love youso much.” He said anxiously.

I stared at him with open mouth.

"But"

"No buts. You are mine and I am not letting you go anywhere.”

He crashed his lips on mine. He is kissing me with so much force like heis angry at something. He took my hands in his and put them aroundhis neck. He held the sides of my face in his hands. His body flush tomine. He started sucking on my bottom lip. He grunted and then bit mybottom lip. I gasped, his tongue swirled in my mouth and he moaned.He started exploring my mouth and sucking on my tongue. A moanslipped my mouth. We broke apart for breathing. He trailed kissesdown my neck. He sucked at the place where my neck and shouldermeet. A scream came out of my mouth when I felt teeth piercing myskin. I tried to move but he held me down. Why the hell did he bite me?After a few seconds he retracted his teeth from my neck and startedlicking the wound. When he was done, he caressed my face and smiledat me, still hovering over me.

"We are engaged now by the pack laws. It's called marking. You can'tleave me now. Ever. I love you so much baby. Don't even think aboutleaving me again.” He said triumphantly.
