A Girl Adopted by Wolves novel Chapter 15

Alex and I are in his car going to my cabin right now. He drove a bit further from his house, pulled over to a side and we got off.

"Hop on." He said crouching in front of me.

I climbed on his back and in a few minutes I was home. My eyes widened in shock seeing Ryder sitting outside of the cabin flaring his nostrils. What if Alex sees him? Ryder’s got to be stupid for doing this. I am having a mini panic attack right now and Ryder is glaring at Alex totally ignoring me. Oh silly me. Ryder can't be seen unless he wants to be seen and I don't think he wants to be seen by a certain someone, when that said someone is a vampire. I got off of Alex's back.

"Thank you." I said still a bit tense.

"No actually I should be the one thanking you." He said smiling.

"Why?" I asked confused.

"I don't know what you did the other night, but after that, Oliver is completely changed. He used to be so closed off. He never let his guard down before but now he is so, how can I put this.....happy and content. I am glad he opened up to us. We know him from more than three hundred years, but I have never seen him like this. Enjoying his life, I mean. Thank you so much. Others don't know about the incident. But they think he changed because of you, which is very much true. That day I was more shocked about how he reacted towards you. I have never seen him talk to someone so softly, not even to Natalie. He is never that relaxed around anyone like you saw him today. Thank you so very much for that." Alex said gratefully.

"Now I know why you all were looking at him like that when he was dancing like a maniac." I said laughing.

"Yeah." He said grinning.

"But I didn't do anything. You don't have to thank me for that. Just forget what happened. Okay?" I said hoping he would truly forget it.

"Okay. But I will try to find out what that was." He said thoughtfully.

"Fine.", I said giving a big yawn.

"You should go sleep. You have to go shopping tomorrow with those goons. Just a heads up, Natalie is crazy about shopping. So be prepared." He ruffled my hairs.

"But I just want an ice cream." I said pouting.

"No escape now kid." He grinned.

"You too." I groaned "I am not a kid. I am just a year younger than you." he raised his eyebrow at me." Okay. Not just a year. You got my point though."

"Yeah but I will stick to calling you kid. It's fun to annoy you." He grinned widely.

I huffed and turned around towards my cabin," I am so not talking to you ever."

He laughed," We'll see how long that lasts. Good night kid."

"Good night." I mumbled.

He was gone just like that. Ryder was now narrowing his eyes at me. Oh this is so not good. I went to him,

"Hey big brother. What's up?" I asked innocently smiling at him.

"I do not appreciate you being this close to them Amy. They are dangerous for you. You know what I mean right." He said huffing in annoyance.

"I know Ryder but they are really nice people. I don't think they will ever intentionally hurt me." I said sighing.
