Chapter 23- Amara
I opened my eyes and closed them again because of the ache that coursed through my head. I found myself face to face with the same side table and the lamp in the room where Abigail patched my wound. A gush of hot air tickled my neck, widening my eyes in fear. Oh my god something is breathing on my neck. I looked down to find a hand on my waist. A person is wrapped around me tightly. I can't even move my head to see who the person is. I screamed and that person fell off of the bed. I jumped out of the bed and picked the first thing that came in my hand, a pillow. I mean really, a pillow. Well something is better than nothing. The person groaned and got up. He is the same guy who kissed me earlier. How dare he?
"Why did you scream?" he said rubbing his eyes. Then his eyes widened and he grinned at me. Talk about weird. "Oh my god you are awake." He ran towards me and was about to hug me but I smacked him in the head with the pillow, really hard
"Ow why did you do that for?" he said rubbing his head.
"What the hell were you doing in the same bed as me?" I asked keeping my distance.
"You fainted and didn't wake up for the whole day. I got sleepy at night but didn't want to leave you alone. So I slept in the same bed as you.” He ratted like a child, grinning at that. I was out for the entire day? How is that possible? Oh my God papa and Ryder are going to flip.
"What do you mean I didn't wake up for the whole day?" I said horrified "I will surely qualify for the world record in fainting. What time is it? Oh my god school, its Monday. Where is Aaron? *, I started blabbering. "Calm down baby." I smacked him again "Why do you keep hitting me all the time?"
"I am not your baby." I snapped.
"Off course you are. I mean you are my mate and I know you know what mates are. So I can call you anything I want. You are mine." He said frowning like it was so obvious.
I glared at him. How dare he? Just because I am his mate doesn't mean he owns me. I started smacking him again.
"I am not your property so stop treating me like that." I said in between every smack.
He took the pillow out of my hands and threw it to the other side of the room. He opened his mouth to say something but I cut him off.
"You didn't answer my questions.”
"Everybody's already in school including Aaron. You were unconscious for the whole day yesterday. We tried to wake you up but you didn't wake up. So we let you sleep and I was watching over you. It's after 9 in the morning so you can't go to the school now.” He said blushing profusely. Why is he blushing? He looks embarrassed.
"Does squeezing me when I was asleep like a boa constrictor qualifies in the watching over category?” I asked narrowing my eyes.
He blushed even more if that's possible,” I might have did that unconsciously.” Aww he is so cute. Whoa! Hold on there. Bad Amara. Do not call him cute.
"Okay. By the way what is your name?" I asked.
"Oh I am sorry. I didn't even introduce myself. I am Asher Wilson. The third in command of this pack.” He said puffing his chest a bit. Talk about a nut case.
So his wolf is Hunter. My stomach growled loudly. Uhhh I haven't ate a single bite since yesterday. I blushed. Way to embarrass me Mr. Stomach.
"I should get going." I said moving towards the door.
"No you are not going anywhere. Common let's go eat." Hmm so I am still under their radar. They do not seem to let me out of their site yet. "No I have to freshen up and all. I will just go home and come back at the time school ends. I promise I will come back.” I need to talk to papa and Ryder too. They must be worried sick.
"I know you won't run away. You just woke up. Let's eat first and I will take you there.” He gave me a no argument look and I am too hungry to retort back.
"Fine." I grumbled.
We went to the kitchen. He is cooking eggs and bacon for us. I tried to help but he waved me off. As he was cooking I looked at him carefully. I must say he is quite cute with those bluish eyes and brown hair. He is almost 6'2"-6'3" and has a lean body which is perfectly toned. Not too muscular though. Just perfect. Abort. Abort. Omg am I checking him out? Geez what is wrong with me.
He brought the food to the dining table, which I am already sitting at. He served me and himself. We started eating.
"Is the interrogation thingy still on?" Let's get it clear while I can.
"Yup. I am sorry about it. But he has to ask you a few things.” He said apologetically.
"No its fine." I replied.
"Thank you for what you did for Abi. Everyone is grateful to you for that." He said smiling.
Play dumb Amara.
"What are you talking about? What did I do to her?" I asked with an innocent face.
Not that dumb you moron
He laughed,” Your acting skills are really bad.”
I huffed,” Are you done? Take your stuff with you. You can freshen up there."
"Yeah let's go. Let me get my stuff from home. Come along with me. We can go from there in my car.” He said cleaning the table.
"We are not taking a car.”
"What do you mean?" he asked confused.
"You will see. Get your stuff and come back here."
He went to his house and came back with a small duffel bag in ten minutes tops. Hmm he is fast and hot too. What the hell? I think my brain is getting affected by all this fainting thing.
"So how are we getting to your place?" he asked.
"Shift. I will sit on your back and show you the way." I replied.
"Are you sure? I don't want you to be running away from me or falling down from my back." He said concerned.
"Don't worry about me. I will be fine.” I said rolling my eyes.
He gave me his bag and went behind a tree to shift. After few sounds of bones breaking, Hunter came out. I haven't seen him in a while. But I know he isn't Hunter. That is Asher who is standing in front of me. He is coming towards me slowly, not to scare me I think. I ran towards him and hugged him. I missed him so much. Every one of them actually. He put his head on my back like he was hugging me back. I got back a bit and he whimpered. A giggle escaped my lips at his behavior.
"We should get going.” I said.
He lowered himself so I can climb. Once on his back I told him the directions and he dashed towards my cabin.
