Chapter 132
"Sorry to interrupt". Charlotte smiled at me as she walked into the room. "Coffee is hot and in the kitchen. Also call Jake, he's called me three times already".
Of course he had.
"We'll continue this later Leah. It was lovely to finally meet you".
Was it bad I didn't even know her name?
Regardless I was glad I got to meet her. She obviously played a big part in Jake's life. Even if I had never heard of her before now.
"Please go call him". Charlotte smiled but it didn't quite reach her eyes. Making my way into the kitchen I poured myself some coffee.
Alanna was sat at the table her head buried in her phone, her AirPods in her ears. I could hear the music from where I stood. As she pulled one out she rolled her eyes before handing me her phone. "He has no patience". She groaned.
Taking the phone from her I went out back giving myself some privacy. I wasn't sure if we are going to have another argument or not.
"You there?". He asked.
"I'm here".
"You said you would answer Leah".....
"And you said you'd call later".
"Now is later. You okay?".
"I'm okay Jake I'm with your family".
"They been okay with you?".
"They always are. What are you doing?". It had only been a few hours but I still missed him. I was just to stubborn to tell him.
"We've just arrived, going to get some food. Maybe take a quick nap. Are you staying at mine tonight?".
"No I'm having a girls night with Lana". I don't know why he asked that. I wouldn't feel comfortable staying in his house alone.
"Promise me you're not drinking".
"Not that kind of girls night". I sighed.
"Leah".... "Yeah?".
"I miss you"..
My stomach tightened, I missed him to. I never thought I would ever feel this way about a guy before. He did something to me that I had never ever felt. I didn't want to not be without him. "I miss you too". I whispered.
"I really do baby. I know I can be a dick sometimes-..."
"Sometimes?". I giggled cutting him off.
"Hey". He laughed. "I don't mean to be I just lose my temper at times. I couldn't live with myself if something happened to you. You really don't know how much you mean to me".NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
"I'm just not used to it but I'm trying". I whispered. I was very independent, I wasn't used to anyone being so protective of me.
"I
I get that baby but all I want to do is look after you. You're my girl, I want you to have the best, I want to give you the best. Let me look after you the way you deserve".
I was chewing my bottom lip so hard I could taste my blood. If I'm honest I wasn't sure how to let someone look after me. Not that I didn't want it, I just never had it.
I never felt this safe with Tommy. I always had this gut feeling with him and until I met Jake I didn't know what it was.
I should never have dated him.
"I'll try harder but you have to promise me something".
"What's that?". He asked.
"You won't lose your head every time I disagree with you. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on . Visit to read the complete chapters for free. You'll ask my opinion instead of deciding for me. I know it's in your nature and it's all you know but if I'm to become your mate then we are equal. You don't get to pull rank regardless-..."
"Thats ridiculous Leah. I can't always control what I do. The Alpha inside of me needs to know that he's the boss, the leader, the one in charge"....
"Yes but-..."
"I can't help the dominance or the overprotectiveness. It's who I am and I'll be damned if I'm going to change that. I'm sorry babe but my wolf won't allow it. You're as much his are you are mine".
How did I know he was going to say something like that?
"I have to go Jake, Alanna needs her phone back".
"I'll FaceTime you tonight before bed".
We've never FaceTimed before but it wasn't something I was against. It would be good to see his face.
"Okay just text me beforehand. I'll speak to you soon".
"Stay safe baby and be good"....
"Did you tell him you met my grams?". Alanna took the seat beside me as I passed her phone back to her.
"I didn't, should I have, I don't even know her name".
"Alison but I'm sure she'll let you call her grams. Did you tell him about the ring?".
"I didn't see the ring and in no way am I ready for it". I bloody knew that's what was inside that box.
"Wait until you're mated". She winked.
"What does that even mean?". I seem to be the only female around here that had a mate but isn't mated.
