Ours novel Chapter 22

Nala POV.

It’s a new day and new adventure but the adventures can wait till after my nap. I was watching Mathew and Zach play fight, it wasn’t even a real argument! They were fighting over who loves the other more! None the less it was fun to watch the fake fight, I must have fallen asleep at some point.

Looking around I find that I'm sleeping on the sofa with a blanket around me. Huh, how? I don’t remember coming over to the sofa or getting a blanket.

Then I hear the angry voices coming from the room I know to be Christian's office.

I hear the mention of my name and walk toward the door, now I’m interested. I'm not crazy enough to go in, I just want to know what's happening. Maybe they are agreeing on giving me up, I’m a lost battle no matter how much I want them and they say they want me I know they will found a better mate than me…

I can words like "she's not ready" and "what will the others say" and what hurts the most "she's not strong enough".

How dare they say that I'm not strong, they know nothing about me. I've been on my own for way too long, I had to fight to survive when I was hardly an adult. I’m a fighter, I don’t give up. Being spoiled by them for a month didn't change who I am, it might be nice to be taken care of but I still know how to care of myself.

I'm too mad to listen anymore, they are still talking some screaming but I’m done and I just leave the house.

I'm not sure where I'm going but I'm out of here, first, I need to find the gates. Then I’ll figure something up from there, I’ll get my old job back or something.

With my mind made I start running, even after my power nap I get tired quickly and have to slow my pace to fast walking. It took me forever of aimless wandering not sure which way is the correct one. I finally made it to the gates and I saw there are two guys there, the guards. Well, Kane did say they will have my name and let me pass but he also said they will take me back to the main house which is the last place I would want to go to.

I got closer to the gate when the first guy came closer to me and asked "where are you going little girl? "

"Uhhh...out," I said nervously, bypassing telling him my name.

"Out where? I never have seen you before and it's a long walk to the main road"

"I just want to get out will you please open the gates," I asked with my best innocent voice, it work on Jace more than once when caught me eating cookies before dinner.

"No you can't go out, now go back home before I call your parent and tell them you're here"

With a huff I turn around, I don't want them to call the guys on me, I'm not ready to get back home yet and maybe not ever.

I'm walking but in the opposite direction of the main house.

I'm not exactly dressed for the occasion I had one of the boys' T-shirt on with some shorts my favorite type of outfits when Kyle isn’t dressing me. It was getting cold and dark.

Shit, you'd think with me being a wolf and all I won't be afraid of the dark but no use. I'm still scared.

I'm hugging my torso and walking when I stumble into a clearance it looks like the one near the main house but I know it's not the same, this one has some small house scattered around. There is a group of guys standing there. Just my luck. I try to avoid them but they notice me.
