A Girl Adopted by Wolves novel Chapter 27

I woke up in the morning with my alarm blaring in my ears. I am still feeling really dejected about yesterday's incident. I am sure it's showing on my face. Papa and Ryder knew something is wrong but knew I wanted to be left alone yesterday. But I am not sure anymore. I knew them for a really short period of time but the thought of rejection is depressing. I thought I will have a human family again but it went down the drain really quickly. I will get over it anyway. I always do. Smile Amara, smile. Keep smiling. Everything is going to be just fine. I checked my phone and there were texts from the Knights and Elena. There were a couple texts from Alec too.

'See you at school.' from Oliver, Natalie and Elena.

'I am coming to pick you up. You better explain yourself kid.' from Alex.

What does he mean by that? I will find out soon anyway. I am not ready for an interrogation right now. I did my morning routine and got ready for school. I ate cereal as I was not in a mood of cooking. I reached the door knob of the front door to open it, but it opened before I can. Alex came in and sat on the sofa in the front room.

"What do you want?" I am really not in a good mood.

"Where were you yesterday and Sunday and Saturday night as well?" he asked.

How does he know I wasn't here from Saturday night? Is this guy spying on me?

"I was out of town." I replied in a monotone.

"Don't you dare lie to me kid. Your face is saying everything. Something is bothering you. You look so depressed and wretched." I don't want to get my hopes up again and get myself crushed.

"Why do you care?" I snapped.

"I am just worried about you. I came here Saturday night and you weren't here. I came here Sunday evening as well, but you weren't here again. Then you missed school on Monday as well. I was worried that something might have happened to you. You are not going out of that door without telling me what happened." He said stubbornly.

“Oh really. Then both of us are not going to school today.” I replied coldly.

“But why are you not telling me? I was worried sick about you. You look like something is killing you from the inside.” He said concerned.

"I can't tell you." I said sighing.

"Please. I can't see you like this. You are like a sister to me. Whoever is responsible for this, I am surely going to slaughter them." He said seriously.

I laughed," You don't have to slaughter anyone. You don't know the entire truth."

"What are you hiding Amy? I swear I won't judge you." He said expectantly.

Should I tell him? If he wants to leave, he can leave right now. I won't have to face this rejection in the future. It will all be over at once. But am I ready for losing more people? If he finds out any other way, he will feel betrayed, they all will. He is already a part of this world so it won't be a problem. I should get over with it before it's too late. I hope he understands. I know they are enemies but still a person can hope. If it doesn't work out as I expected, I can get back to how it was before. I turned around showing him my back and undid the buttons of my shirt and lowered it off of my left shoulder so my pack mark was visible to him.

"Why are you showing me your tattoo?" he asked.

I buttoned my shirt and faced him. Confusion crossed over his face but passed as soon as it came.

"I know you know what that tattoo means." I said.

"But it's impossible. You are human." He declared.

"I didn't say I am not human." I said taking a deep breath.

"Then what does it mean? Because I am one hundred percent sure you are not a werewolf." He said confused.
