A Girl Adopted by Wolves novel Chapter 33

As soon as I was out of the door, I started taking deep breaths. How the hell can they expect this from me? I know it is bound to happen someday but this is way too early and forceful. Asher didn't even say anything about it. Maybe he is bound to follow the rules. He should have at least filled me in a little. Well that would have at least prevented the rude things I said to them. I would have come prepared. Oh my god! I just shouted and disrespected my mate’s parents. Well I can’t do anything about it now. I will apologize latter. I don't want to go home right now. Aaron's car is still here. Should I call him? Let's give it a try. I dialled his number and he picked up immediately.

'Hey', I said.

'Hi. What's up?' he sounded a bit scared. Something is wrong.

'You are at Carter's right. What's going on over there?'

'Yeah. I will tell you later.' He said hastily.

'Okay. Well I.... Umm' I hesitated.

'Are you alright Amy?' he asked worried.

'Yes. I am fine. I was thinking, would you like to go to the beach, if you are free that is?' I asked.

'I actually was going to ask you the same thing.' Umm okay. Something is definitely wrong.

'Really?'

'Yup. There is a lot on my mind right now. Where are you? I will pick you up.'

'Actually I am outside Asher's house.' I said sheepishly.

'Okay. Get in the car right now. I am sneaking out of here. My car isn't locked.' Sounds were coming in the background of someone slamming their fists on a door.

'You sound like we are running away.' What did he do now?

'Something like that. Get in the driver's seat. You know how to drive right?'

'Yes.'

'Speed out as soon as I enter the car.' The banging got harder.

'Okay'

I cut the call and looked at Asher's house. He didn't even come to check up on me. Well got to get used to disappointment. I opened the driver's side of the door and got in. The key is already in the ignition. This guy can be really irresponsible. Aaron came out of Carter's house running like his ass is on fire and got in the passenger side.

"Go. Go. Go." he shouted.

I turned the car and saw a very angry Carter coming out of the house. Aaron's eyes widened in horror. OMG Aaron, what the hell did you do? I can get the details later. Carter said something but I didn't hear it. I pressed my foot on the accelerator and we dashed out towards the beach. Once we were on the cliff, I released the breath I didn't know I was holding. That was downright crazy. I don't even know why we ran away from there like that. I turned my head towards Aaron and he was looking at me already. We burst out in laughing fits.

"Why the hell were we running? Did you step on his tail or what?" I joked but I wanted to know what happened.

"I did not step on his tail. I wouldn't dare. Let me relax a little please. We should go sit and relax first. Cliff or beach?" he said sighing.

"Amy will they come after us?" Aaron said breaking the silence.

"I don't think Asher will but Carter will definitely come to find you." I hope Asher comes too. I think I am starting to like him.

"Nahh he won't.", I lifted my head form his shoulder and looked at him.

"He cares for you Aaron. I won't be wrong to say he loves you already. Marriage is a huge commitment. If he is ready to marry you any moment, proves that he really loves you. Talk to him. He might understand your views about it. If he hurts you then come straight to me. I will beat the shit out of him." I said seriously.

He chuckled," Yeah I will try. What about you? Isn't it the same?"

"Nahh. He never stood up for me nor did he try to confront me himself about the rules like Carter. Today I felt like, he just wants to marry me because of the rules. He didn't even say anything when his father was almost shouting at me. He didn't even come to talk to me when I walked out of his house. I know he came to school to see me. He even said he loved me.” I said looking down. “But after that he took me to his parents without any warning. They were ordering me like I am some lowlife who is bound to follow their orders. Asher didn't object nor did he said a word. It felt like the kiss and that sweet talk was just a bait, so I will follow him willingly."

"Hey don't think like that. Maybe they just got carried away. Everything will be alright." Aaron said smiling at me. I know he is trying to lift my spirit but this doesn’t seem to be working right now. I feel betrayed. I don’t know why. But in the back of my mind it feels like there is more to Asher than this.

"I hope so too. But if he doesn't want me as a person and is with me just because he has to be as I am his mate, then I will leave. I will go somewhere far away and start a new life. Just one and a half year till I turn eighteen. No one can restrict me then. I will graduate next year anyway so I can go to college too." I said trying to convince myself that everything will be fine.

"Amy think it through before you act. I won't stop you from anything. I just want you to be happy. Talk to Asher and get to know what he wants. Don't make any rational decisions. Okay?" he said seriously.

"Yup." I agreed.

Somewhere in my heart I want him to stop me from leaving.
