Her Mute Sister (Complete)

Chapter Eleven

                                                                            (Ambers POV)

    Today felt really uneventful, then again I also tried to stay out of everyone's way and not be seen.  I didn’t want to find my mate right now, not until after me and Willow can leave at least.  I bumped in to someone and apologized.

    “Are you Amber?” the tall stranger asked.  I nodded my head.  He motioned for me to follow him.  He stopped when he knew no one could see or hear us.

    “Do you know who Willow is?” He asked.  I looked at him shocked and then felt like I was going to panic.  No one can know about Willow, otherwise something really bad will happen if father finds out.

    “Yes I do but you can’t tell a soul who she is or her life will be in danger” I told him in a hushed voice.  He looked at me confused so I told him about Willow and our awful parents.  

    “How the f**k have the elders not been made aware of this?” he asked visibly disgusted.

    “I honestly have no idea but I have to stay here to protect her as best I can, although she could still technically leave as she did gain her wolf the other day” I said.  Ansel gave me a weird look so I told him about Willow having her wolf at 13 and that the laws said that a minor is allowed to legally leave a pack if they have at least gained their wolf.  He seemed to be in deep thought about this.

    “Tell you what, you give me your number and I’ll message you throughout the day” I said.  He seemed fine with this so we exchanged numbers and then split ways so no one would be suspicious.  I went along like everything was fine while texting Ansel in secret.  We decided to meet up and go upstairs to Willows room after everyone had gone to sleep since it was the only time we could talk to her without anyone knowing.

    It felt like forever before we could finally go to Willows room.  When we went to her room she was still asleep.  I gently shook her to wake her up.  She woke bleary eyed and terrified before realizing it was me and Ansel.

    “He’s here to help” I signed to her.  She nodded her head.  Me and Ansel sat down next to her.

“So what are we going to do?” I asked Ansel.

    “I don’t know but I have this urge to take her away from this place and have her somewhere safe” he said.  I nodded and was glad he felt that way.

    “Well I am sixteen and old enough to find my mate, so maybe if and when I find them I can ask if I can take Willow with me.  If they say no then I’ll tell them that I won’t go with until I’m eighteen then” I told Ansel and Willow.  Ansel nodded.

    “I’d take her but there a number of issues with that” Ansel said.

    “Well it’s not like we have any other options right now, all I want is to keep her safe.  She’s my little sister and the fact she can’t rely on our parents for protection hurts” I said.  We sat in silence for a few until we noticed Willow get up and start to head downstairs.  I was about to ask when I remembered what father had told her.  I told this to Ansel and he seemed rather furious about it.

    “I think we should get her a phone to use to text us and let us know she’s okay” Ansel said.  I thought about it for a moment.  It really wouldn’t be a bad idea.  I told him so and we sat there talking about it quietly.  Before long Willow had come back up and looked exhausted.  She came over to her bed and promptly passed out.  Me and Ansel left her room as quietly as we could and went to our own rooms to sleep.

    In the morning I woke up feeling tired since I didn’t sleep much last night.  I quickly got dressed and went downstairs for breakfast and coffee.  Afterwards all the unmated wolf got ready for the dance that was going to take place later tonight.  I was super excited and spent all day getting myself ready.  Even if I didn’t want a mate right now, it didn’t mean I never wanted one.  Plus I got to pamper myself all day while I got ready to have a lot of fun.

    The day flew by until finally I was coming downstairs to go to the dance.  I was so excited and couldn’t wait to see what it would look like.  It took a few minutes to get there seeing as I was wearing high heels and my dress was rather long and poufy.  As soon as I came into the room I smelled the most enticing scent ever.  I followed it to a guy who looked rather hot.  He looked up at me and instead of looking happy he seemed rather annoyed.  I felt a little hurt but continued walking towards him.

    “Hi I’m Amber, what’s your name?” I asked rather shyly.  He seemed annoyed I was talking to him.

    “My name is Teival, and I guess you’re my mate” he said sighing.  I was getting annoyed with him.  Why was he acting as though I was bothering him.  He then walked away from me as though I was beneath him.  I wonder if this is how poor Willow feels with our parents being so cruel to her all the time.
