A Girl Adopted by Wolves
Chapter 14- Amara

After dinner we all sat in the living room. William and Grace weretalking to Elena, getting to know her and all. Alex is sitting next to Elenaplaying an active part in the interview or that's what it looks like. I amplaying cards with Natalie and Oliver on the carpeted floor. Their househas this warm vibe in it. It feels like home. Oliver won by cheating a fewtimes. He got up and started doing a weird victory dance. I couldn'tstop myself from laughing. Elena started laughing too. On the otherhand the Knights were looking at him like they are seeing somethingimpossible. Grace looked like she will cry any moment. Natalie wasstaring at him with so much adoration. What is with them? They are aweird 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 youthis to get it through your thick skull?” I huffed and Natalie joined theargument,

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

"Everything is fair in love and war. Besides I didn't cheat. I just took aquick 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'tchange the fact.” said Oliver folding his hands on his chest.

The other four were watching us bicker with amusement. Olivergrabbed a cushion from the sofa and threw it at me. It would have hitme square in the face, if I haven't caught it. Thanks to my reflexes. Theydon't even look like a vampire family. Just a normal human family withkids 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'tlook like a vampire right now, neither of them do. He is running inhuman speed maybe for making it easy for me. Natalie is also runningat human speed. They look like normal humans. The wolves always ranin slower pace when we played to let me catch up. Oliver ran out of thekitchen with me and Natalie hot on his tail. He pulled Grace up fromher sitting position and hid behind her using her as a shield. Like that isgoing 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 grownguy hiding behind his mother and wailing for protection from two girlshalf 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 myside right?" he asked expectantly.

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

"You traitor. You betrayed me.", Oliver said putting his hand on hischest in mock pain and pouting a little.

"You better surrender Oliver while it's still time." William saidsniggering.

Oliver pretended to think for a while and said dramatically,” What is theprice of sparing my precious life?"

I squealed and said, "Ice cream.” Natalie nodded her head and added,"And a whole day of shopping.”

Oliver groaned and said,” Fine. Tomorrow."

Both of us squealed. Grace and William were laughing. I got a messagein the mind link.

“Are you done or not? It's way past your in time." said Ryder.

From when did I have an in time? What am I going to do with him? Idon't think he is going to warm up to them any sooner.

Papa said,’ Don't listen to that brat princess. If you want to stay a littlelonger, stay.

Yes papa.’ I replied laughing.

I really should get going though.

"I should get going. It's getting late.” I said to everyone.

"You are leaving already? But you just came.” Oliver said whining.

"I really have to go. Thank you for the dinner.”

"I will drop her off. Elena is staying here.” said Alex.

We said our goodbyes and off I go towards my home. It was a greatnight. I must say they are really nice people.
