Her Freezing Heart

Chapter 36- Amara

Steven had got us business class tickets. Thank the heavens for that. Cassidy and Grayson on the

other hand couldn’t get them on the time and were in the premium economy class. We boarded the

plane and I made myself comfortable on my seat. Steven was sitting right beside me. Austin and Aaron

were in the seat behind us. I stretched the seat for sleeping and curled up on it immediately after we

were allowed to take our seat belts off. Steven woke me up when the flight attendant brought us our

breakfast. I gobbled everything in a record time and went back to sleep. I wanted to smack Steven so Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

bad for laughing at me but I controlled myself and turned away from him. I am so not talking to him…

for now. Steven woke me up for lunch and I groggily ate everything up.

“Did I wear you out too much last night love?” Steven whispered in my ears when I was about to go

back to sleep making me blush.

I didn’t reply to him and closed my eyes. I woke up around quarter to six fully rested.

“Feeling better?” Steven asked me.

I nodded and got up to freshen up in the washroom. Thank the heavens I had packed a pair of jeans

and a blouse in my duffel bag with some essentials. I went in the washroom and changed into the

clothes. I brushed my teeth and washed my face. I pulled my hair in a pony tail and exited the

washroom after stuffing my things in the bag, only to bump into a hard chest.

“I am sorry.” I apologized to the person who I crashed into.

He looked a little older than me. Okay a lot older than me. Maybe in his late twenties or early thirties.

He is hot though but he has nothing on my mate. Ohh that sounds good. My mate.

“It’s okay darling.” He slurred seductively.

I almost blanched at him but controlled myself. I smiled at him and was about to go back to my seat

when extended his hand to introduce himself.

“Michael Rodriguez”

“Amara Cross.” I said shaking his hand.

He didn’t let go though. He was stroking my hand with his thumb, smirking at me. I pulled my hand

quite forcefully. His touch made me feel nauseated. He was surprised by my sudden display of

strength. He was standing in my way though. I was about to tell him to move his ass off of my way

when I saw Steven stomping his way towards us. I didn’t knew if I should laugh or be thankful to him.

He looked so sexy like that. He put his arm around the prick and pulled me towards him, glaring

murderously towards Michael. Michael shrugged and went in the washroom. Steven practically

dragged me back to our seats and put the duffel bag in the luggage carrier. I was about to make myself

comfortable on my seat when he plopped on his seat and pulled me on his lap, burring his face in the

crook of my neck, making me shudder. The mark was still fresh after all. I pecked him to calm him

down.

I can hear Austin and Aaron trying to control their laughter from the seat behind us. Rest of the flight

went like that. Steven was glaring at the air hostess’s back when she told me take my seat and buckle

up for the landing. Poor women scuried away quite fast from our seats. The three of us were laughing

at Steven non stop making him more mad. We boarded two taxies to Greycoast with Cassidy, Grayson

and Aaron in one and the three of us in the other. An hour drive later we were inside the borders of

Greycoast. I felt Steven and Austin stiffen. At half past eight we reached near the pack settlement. The

taxies dropped us on the main road. We can’t take strangers inside. Leo, Alec and the twins were

already standing there waiting for us.

Aaron ran towards Carter as soon the taxies stopped. They started making out quite passionately. They

haven’t seen each other for months after all. Alec came running towards me and crushed me in a hug.

Steven pulled me away from him and hissed at him menacingly. Caleb replied him with a growl. Steven

stood there confused. I just couldn’t stop myself from laughing.

“Steven, Austin, this is my twin brother, Alec.” I introduced him in between my laughs. “That’s his mate

Caleb.” Then I motioned towards Leo. “This is our alpha, Leorio and that is Carter, Aaron’s mate.”

He looked quite embarrassed while Alec was glaring at him. I hugged Leo who looked quite amused at

Steven’s behavior.

“What is taking you people so long?” Alex’s voice came from behind Leo.

I threw myself in his arms as soon as he came into view making Steven growl. Austin was laughing his

ass off behind him. Leo nodded at Cassidy and Grayson which they returned.

“How are you kid?” Alex asked twirling me in circle and put me down on my feet.

He completely ignored Steven’s hissing self.

“I am good.” I replied grinning at him.

Just on the cue my stomach grumbled making him shake his head amused.

“Lets go. We are having a pack dinner out side.” He said pulling me towards the houses.

But Steven pulled me out of his arms and wrapped his arms around me possessively. Alex gave him a

once over, his eyes landed on his neck and then mine. He looked at me with his eyebrows raised. I

grinned at him making him shake his head in amusement. We made our way towards the houses with

the males carrying the luggage. Steven still wouldn’t let me go.

After walking for a while, reached the small clearing with the houses. The clearing wasn’t dark though.

It was lit up with the fluorescents and five tables were pressed against each other making a huge dining

table. Mathew and his mate, Abigail were pulling a white table cloth on the tables. Ryan and Stan were

arranging the chairs. The others were bringing out mounds and mounds of dishes and placing them on

the table. Austin and Steven were looking around with their mouth hanging open while Cassidy and

Grayson looked around in wonder. Oliver came bounding towards me and scooped me in his arms,

snapping Steven out of his trance.

After introducing my new group to everyone we took a seat and started piling our plates with food. I still

have to introduce Steven, Austin , Cassidy and Grayson to them. I just did the introduction one way.

Asher and his parents were sitting on the opposite side of the Alpha and Luna’s seat, that is on the very

far corner. Leo’s parents were sitting right beside him just like everyone else’s. I was sitting in the

middle with Steven and Austin while Cassidy and Grayson sat opposite us. Yup we are a large party.

After everyone was settled, Leo told me to introduce the new additions.

“This is Cassidy and Grayson. They are a witch and warlock as you already know.” I said motioning

towards them. They got up and nodded at everyone. “This is Austin. He is a vampire and a very good

friend of ours.” I said pointing towards Austin who got up and nodded towards everyone grinning may I

add. I pointed towards Steven who got up after Austin sat down. “And this is Steven. He is also a

vampire. He is my mate.”

There was pin drop silence for a second while Steven shuffled nervously beside me. I could feel him

getting anxious through our bond. I squeezed his hand to calm him down. A cheer of ‘congratulations’

broke throughout the table making me relax. I felt Steven relax too. A growl broke through our

happiness as Asher abruptly got up.
