To protect what's mine (Amalie) novel Chapter 167

Chapter 167 Amalie

“The atmosphere in the kitchens today was so much better than normal,” Kim sighs as she sits down on the floor beside the bed.

“You know you can sit up here with us,” Vickie says as she flops backwards on the twins‘ bed.

“But I’m not a warrior or ranked member,” Kim says as she looks around nervously. She looks like someone is going to scold her for being here with us.

“I dub thee, able to sit on a bed,” Kira laughs as she pulls the Omega up from the floor.

“Please come sit with us,” I beg as I sit cross–legged on the bed.

“If someone breaks out the nail polish, I’m making popcorn,” Vickie laughs.

“I don’t have any,” I say as I look down at my plain nails.

“Haven’t had time for nail polish,” Kira sighs as she holds up her hands.

“Well, I brought some. I wasn’t sure what you wanted to do. I figured painting nails might be a good bonding idea,” Kim says with a small smile as she pulls several colors our of her purse. “I wasn’t sure if it would have been a good idea, but my boyfriend encouraged me to bring them as it would be a good idea.”

“You are a doll!” Vickie cheers as she scrambles off the bed. “I’ll be back!” She dashes from the room and leaves the door open.

“What has you in a hurry?” Mark asks as he walks by.

“Snack run!” she shouts before she is completely gone down the stairs.

“Do I want to know?” Mark asks as he sticks his head in the room.

“Popcorn and nail polish,” I tell him.

“Okay, do you girls need anything else?” he asks as he looks around at us.

“We’re good,” I say with a smile.

“Okay, Cal and I are going to take Rose home for the rest of the afternoon. Mind link one of us when you are done, Sam is staying here until you are ready to leave,” Mark says before he leaves. A look passes over his face before he is gone.

I smile as he leaves. I have the feeling that he wanted to come in and give me a kiss before he left.

“You are so cute,” Kim laughs as she watches me.

I feel the blush coat my cheeks. I shake myself to dispel the blush. “Will one of you paint my nails? I haven’t used nail polish in years,” 1 ask the two girls.

“Yes please!” Kim scoots herself so she is sitting in front of me. She hands me the bottles of polish so I can pick out a color.

Chapter 167 Amalie

I pick out a green color. It’s almost the exact shade of the twins‘ eye color. Kim giggles as she set the other colors aside. She gives me a knowing look.

“What’s with the look?” Kira asks as she looks between the pair of us.

“It matches the Alphas‘ eyes,” Kim says.

I fight my blush even more now. “It’s my favorite color,” I try to defend.

“Sure,” Kira laughs as she starts to look through the options.

Kim says nothing as she shakes the polish. Once done, she opens the polish and takes one of my hands. “I haven’t done anything like this since high school,” she admits as she starts to polish my nails.

“Never had any friends to do this with. Then with the unwanted attention from my old Alpha, I did not get close to anyone,” Kira admits.

“You had no friends in your old pack?” I ask. I find the statement to be not true.

She sighs before she answers me, “I had a few that I thought would have been my best friends. But once that bastard started showing interest in me, they betrayed me. They snitched my movements to him. They did his bidding, and I know it was not Alpha commanded of them. One girl even went out of her way to get me alone with him.”

I pull my hand away from Kim. I pull Kira towards me and engulf her in a hug. “I’m so sorry that you had to suffer through that,” I tell

her.

Kim’s arms find their way around us as she joins the hug.

“What did I miss?” Vickie asks as she comes back into the room.

“Questions later, hug now,” I tell her.

I hear the sound of her putting the bowl down before she joins us on the bed. Vickie wraps her arms around us.

We all sit there, holding each other. No one wants to break the hug first,

“Okay, I’m suffocating here,” Kira laughs.

As we break the hug, I watch her wipe away tears. I don’t say anything, it’s not my place to point out her tears.

Kim grabs my hand again and inspects my nails. She continues to paint my nails.

“Okay, Kira what color am I painting your nails?” Vickie asks as she brings the popcorn bowl to the bed and sits down.

“Well, let’s go black,” Kira says as she picks out a color.

“Boo,” she jeers with a smile.

“Can you do designs?” I ask the room.

“Hell, yes! Black with silver designs!” Vickie laughs triumphantly. She grabs the colors that she needs and starts to shake them.

I share a look with Kim, and we smile.

“Gossip time,” Vickie cackles as she starts to paint Kira’s nails.

“Well, the twins don’t let me out and about on my own, so I don’t know any,” I admit.

“Oh, that’s not true,” Vickie laughs.

“The twins aren’t ready to share the news yet,” I say with a glare.
