Chapter 19- Amara
"Amy he has the same tattoo as you." Aaron blurted out before I can stop him.
He talked in a hushed voice but with their advanced hearing, I know they heard it loud and clear. I turned my head towards Leo and he was already looking at me with confusion. He came towards me and checked my left bicep.
"There's no tattoo here Aaron." He said to Aaron.
"Oh not on the bicep, on her left shoulder. But how did you hear what I said?" I glared at Aaron to try to make him shut up.
Leo ignored him and yanked the towel off of me. His eyes widened in shock. I am so doomed.
"How did you get this tattoo?" he asked narrowing his eyes at me. Think something Amara. Make something up real quick or you will be dead by the morning. Will they really hurt me?
"I got this in a tattoo parlour back at Esterden. Why did you ask?" I said keeping my face innocently curious, but my heart is running miles every second.
"Are you sure? Where did you get this design from?" he asked suspiciously.
"I told the tattoo artist to draw something tribal and he made me this. It must be really a coincidence that we have the same tattoos. But it's cool right" I said faking excitement. Come on heart please work with me this time and slow down a little. I need to take acting classes real soon.
He looked in my eyes for few more seconds and stood up, like coming to a decision.
"I don't think the storm will slow down any sooner. You guys should stay here tonight.” Leo said all the time looking right at me. Oh no he is suspicious about me. I think I am in a deep trouble.
Aaron gulped loudly beside me. Way to go bestie. I glared at him. He mouthed a sorry to me.
"I think we should get going. His parents must be worried about us. Our phone batteries are dead and we didn't get a chance to inform them about anything earlier.” I replied.
"I said you are staying here tonight.” Leo ordered.
He was emitting a very powerful aura. That means he is the Alpha. Oh my Gosh Tyler.
"And I said we have to leave.” I said standing. Aaron also stood up. "You will not leave this house until I order you to do so. Do you understand me?" he said coming right in front of me.
He is emitting a really powerful aura. Aaron whimpered beside me. He must be scared. This guy is really pissing me off. I would have punched him in the face if it wasn't for Tyler.
"Who the hell do you think you are to order me around? I will not follow your orders. Ever. Imprint that in your puny brain.” I know I am emitting the same aura as him.
He flinched a bit but looked me right in the eye and ordered," Tie them up. Gather everyone. We are taking them to the meeting place. We are interrogating them."
"Yes Alpha." Caleb, Carter and Ryan said in unison. Caleb is standing by the door and Ryan is beside Leo.
My mouth hung open at his words and he continued to glare at me. Thomas and Linda already left the room. Why does he want everyone there? We are mere humans. Aaron took my hand in his and clutched it tightly. He is already shaking in fear. Carter came and embraced Aaron from behind. Aaron screamed and thrashed getting out of his hold. He hid behind me, clutching my sides tightly, digging his nails into my waist in the process. I was about to shout at Carter but he looked like he was about to cry.
"What are you doing Carter?" Leo asked him.
"He is my mate. I was trying to calm him down but he ran away." Carter said whimpering.
Everything was silent for a while. If Aaron is his mate, then he can get out of this situation without the interrogation or whatever shit it is. I turned towards Aaron and took his face in my palms.
"Aaron, he is not going to hurt you okay. None of them will. It's against their rules to hurt a pack member's mate. Go with him he will take care of you and if he does hurt you I will personally sneak in his room in the middle of the night and chop off his balls.” I said seriously.
He laughed,” Okay. But what about you?"
"I will be just fine." I said shrugging. “You know I will be fine.” I said implying on the things I told him about me and my family last week. I hope he understands what I want to say.
"I am not leaving you Amy. You got in this shit because of me. We are getting out of here together or both of us are staying. I am not taking it otherwise. I know I will be safe as long as I am with you.” He said folding his arms over his chest stubbornly.
I groaned and said,” Fine." I turned my head towards Carter "I tried. Don't be sad, he will come around. He does not trust people that easily. Especially kidnappers.”
Others were silent all this time. Aaron snorted and tried to cover it up as a cough.
Leo said," We will do this tomorrow morning. Rest for now and do not try to escape, we will catch you anyway. But the consequences will be severe afterwards.”
He left to his room with that being said. Where did my sweet brother go? He let us rest though. He is not that bad I guess. Aaron nudged me and said,
"Amy Ryder."
"Where?" I asked looking around.
"Not here you lunatic. I mean don't you have to tell them that you are not coming home?" Aaron said.
"Oh! Yeah I do actually.” I replied nodding.
"But how?" he asked.
"I will just call him." This way they won't know. Aaron looked at me like I have gone mad. No time to explain buddy. We were talking in hushed voices but I know they can still hear us. So, better play it safe.
"And how are you going to do that?" he asked, giving me an odd look. Cool down mister.
"I will borrow someone's phone." I glared at him to make him to shut up.
"Tell him quick so he won't barge in here like an angry bear." Aaron said shuddering.
I laughed and asked Carter as he was closest person to us,” Can I borrow your phone? I need to call my brother.”
"You have to ask Leo about it." He said still looking at Aaron.
"Fine."
We started walking towards Leo's room with Carter showing the way and Aaron following me. We went straight in the room without knocking. I burst out laughing when I saw what he was doing.
