A Girl Adopted

Chapter 21- Asher

I was playing on my X-box when I got a message about an early morning pack meeting from Leo in the

mind link. I don’t know why but my heart did a little flip. What was that feeling? Uhh I would have to

wake up early tomorrow. I am Asher Wilson and I am seventeen years old. I have blue eyes and brown

hairs. My skin is quite pale. Well considering this whether it is supposed to be. When I shifted for the

first time more than two weeks ago, I was scared as hell. I mean it was incredibly painful. But Leo and

Stanley helped me through it. It is easy to shift now. The children in our community are popping left and

right into wolves and it is all because of those vampires. Every one of us shifted in a mere span of a

week.

The most exciting part of being a werewolf is finding your mate. I know it’s only been a few weeks but I

want to find her as soon as possible. Only four of us in the pack haven’t found their mates yet. But we

need to have patience. Our mates will be with us really soon and I am having a feeling mine is way

near than I thought. With that thought in mind I slept with a smile on my lips.

In the morning, I woke up and got ready to go to our usual meeting place. My heart is beating really

hard. Why I am feeling like this? I ate some breakfast and set off towards our meeting place. It’s a

medium sized house, not too big, not too small and is a little distance inside the woods. It’s hidden from

the outside by the dense trees. Only if you know the way, you can find it. As I entered the clearing of

the house, I saw that Mathew and Stanley were already there with the girls, the mates of the pack

members. Hmm why are the girls here?

“Hey” I said.

“Hi.” Mathew grunted. The girls greeted me and went inside. Stanley nodded at me.

“Am I late?” I asked.

“No they will be here in a minute.” Mathew has major anger issues.

“Do you have any idea what this is about?” I asked.

“Nahh. They are here. You can ask the Alpha himself.” He said annoyed. Someone got up on the

wrong side of the bed. Stanley sniggered at the face I made.

And sure enough Leo strode out of the woods with the others. But there were two new people. A girl

and a boy. The moment I looked at her I knew she was my mate. So this is why my heart was beating

like mad. As she came near me I spun her around trapping her between my body and the wall. I might

have slammed her a little too hard in excitement but I can’t control myself. I held her face in my palms,

pinned her with my torso and pressed my lips to hers. She struggled to get away but I held her firmly

and continued to kiss her. Her skin is so soft. Her lips feel like heaven under mine. I heard a loud growl

and I was pushed away from her and on the ground. The new guy dashed past me and engulfed her in

his arms. That made my blood boil with anger. She is MINE.

I growled at him getting up. My mate looked at me and started coming towards me. I smiled at her. She

is choosing me over him. Well that’s how it is supposed to be. The next thing I knew she punched me

really hard on the nose. I heard a crack of the breaking of my nose. It doesn’t matter. It will heal in no

time. But why…why did she hit me? She is my mate. She should have come to me and kissed me

again. Then why? Does she not want me?

"Amy your back is bleeding. Must be a nail or something on the wall." The guy said to her. I hurt her. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"Come on in. Aby will patch it up.", Mia said to my mate and dragged her inside.

“What were you thinking?” Leo half growled and half shouted at me.

“She is my mate.” I whispered disheartened by her behaviour earlier.

“That doesn’t mean you will slam her like that. What if she would have been seriously hurt?” He looked

beyond pissed. What is with him?

“That’s none of your damn business.” I growled back “Why did you even throw me away like that?”

“I don’t know.” Leo whispered confused “I really don’t know. I just feel protective of her. I don’t know

why. It felt like my wolf was agitated seeing her like that. It feels like I know her from a long time.”

“What?” I asked “That can’t be possible. You just met her.”

“I met her a couple days ago at Elena’s place. At that time too I felt this connection. I can’t explain

perfectly but it’s like the wolf in me is connected to her in some way.” Leo said irritated.

“She is my mate. I don’t care what you feel about her. She is mine.” I growled.

“Geez dude I know she is not my mate. Calm down will you? It happened last night too. We were

fighting over something and she called me big brother by accident or I thought it was an accident. In

return I called her princess. It was like it’s what I normally call her. It just tumbled out of my mouth and

she gasped in surprise. That was really weird. After that I heard her in the mind link. We all did, except

you, Stan and Mathew. I don’t think she knew we can hear her though. She talked to her papa and her

brother, Ryder. Those voices seemed familiar as well. They asked her if she wants them to rescue her

but she said that we won’t hurt her as we are still a family. There is something really weird going on

with that girl. She even knew what mates are. I mean…” Leo ratted agitated.

If she knew what mates are then why did she reject me? Does she not want me? Am I not good

enough for her?

“I even sensed a powerful aura coming from her when she got angry at Leo.” Ryan said “It was similar

to Leo’s aura. She doesn’t smell like a werewolf though.”

“I don’t think you guys need me here.” That guy from earlier said awkwardly. I still want to rip his head

off. “I will just go check up on Amy.”

“Oh no you don’t.” I snarled “How dare you touch her earlier?” I asked advancing on him. But Carter

came in between the two of us. “Get out of my way Carter.” I said trying to push him away but he

wouldn’t budge.

“You are not hurting my mate.” He said growling at me. What? His mate?

A scream came from inside the house. Ryan dashed inside and the new guy followed. It must be Mia

then, Ryan’s mate. The rest of us dashed inside after them. I saw the new guy holding my mate. Abigail

was crying with her face in her hands. Mathew engulfed her in his arms. Stan went beside Riley. What

is going on over here?

"Amy are you alright? What happened here?" The guy asked checking my mate. That drowned the

colour out of my face. Is she alright?

She slumped on him. Is she fainting? My body froze.

"Amy" He called her but she closed her eyes. "Shit. Amy open your eyes."
