A Girl Adopted by Wolves novel Chapter 14

After dinner we all sat in the living room. William and Grace were talking to Elena, getting to know her and all. Alex is sitting next to Elena playing an active part in the interview or that's what it looks like. I am playing cards with Natalie and Oliver on the carpeted floor. Their house has this warm vibe in it. It feels like home. Oliver won by cheating a few times. He got up and started doing a weird victory dance. I couldn't stop myself from laughing. Elena started laughing too. On the other hand the Knights were looking at him like they are seeing something impossible. Grace looked like she will cry any moment. Natalie was staring at him with so much adoration. What is with them? They are a weird bunch.

Oliver yelled, "In your face kid. I won." I rolled my eyes at him.

"You cheated and I am not a kid. How many times do I have to tell you this to get it through your thick skull?" I huffed and Natalie joined the argument,

"You cheated Ollie. You are not playing fair."

"Everything is fair in love and war. Besides I didn't cheat. I just took a quick peek at Amara's cards." he defended himself grinning widely.

"This is not either of them. It's a card game dumbass." I said laughing.

"Looking through other players cards is exactly what is called cheating." said Natalie.

"You two are just jealous because you lost and ganging up on me won't change the fact." said Oliver folding his hands on his chest.

The other four were watching us bicker with amusement. Oliver grabbed a cushion from the sofa and threw it at me. It would have hit me square in the face, if I haven't caught it. Thanks to my reflexes. They don't even look like a vampire family. Just a normal human family with kids fighting over something. I looked at Natalie and nodded at her.

"This is war.", we declared.

Oliver sprinted in the kitchen with a scared look. He seriously doesn't look like a vampire right now, neither of them do. He is running in human speed maybe for making it easy for me. Natalie is also running at human speed. They look like normal humans. The wolves always ran in slower pace when we played to let me catch up. Oliver ran out of the kitchen with me and Natalie hot on his tail. He pulled Grace up from her sitting position and hid behind her using her as a shield. Like that is going to help him. You are so dead mister.

"Mom those two are ganging up on me and trying to beat me up." Oliver complained.

The scene looked comical though. It was funny looking at a tall grown guy hiding behind his mother and wailing for protection from two girls half his size. This is just so hilarious.

"Well I am on their side. Mind letting me go now." Grace said to him, smirking.

"Whaaaat? This is so not fair." he turned towards Alex" You are on my side right?" he asked expectantly.

"Sorry. I will be siding with the ladies and Elena too." Alex said to him. Elena nodded at him.
