The Alpha Chose Me

Alanna left and Charlotte wasn't back yet. Getting to my feet I grabbed my mug. I couldn't help the horrible feeling I had in the pit of my stomach.

The front door opened and closed. He was here, I could feel him. Washing out my mug I felt the hair on the back of my neck stand. His hands gripped my waist, his front flush against my back.

I tensed the mug slipping from my hands. He moved so quietly I could never hear when he approached. Nuzzling his nose in the side of my neck he inhaled deeply.

"Hey". His voice husky, lower than normal. But my god it did something to my insides.

"Hi". I whispered my breathing shaky.

It definitely felt different between us but not in a bad way. "I'm sorry about earlier babe". Placing open kisses on my neck his arms slipped around my waist. "I was an a*s but I'm trying. I'm trying so fucking hard to be better for you".

"I know". I got it, he wasn't used to me. He wasn't used to me answering for him or talking for him and that was okay. He was trying and that's all I could ask for.

"I don't want to f**k this up Leah".

"You won't, we won't".

"You're fucking perfect". He whispered.

"Ah you're here. Your dad will be home in half an hour". His mom entered the kitchen and his arms fell from my waist.

"An emergency pack meeting mom, really?". He moved away giving me the space to turn around.

"You're not Alpha just yet Jacob". She glanced at me before looking back at him. I always found it weird when she called him Jacob.

It was rare and never happened much. Only when she was pissed off or serious.

"I still don't think a pack meeting was necessary. I could have just tossed her out and be done with it".

"That's your dad's decision not yours".

"She could have killed Leah". He clenched his teeth, his eyes falling into slits.

"I don't disagree Jake but we have to do this right. Jessica will get her punishment however your dad sees fit".

"Regardless of the outcome I don't want her here and I don't want her near Leah. She's as good as dead to me so either he kicks her out or I will when I become Alpha". "Jake". I placed my hand on his forearm.

"Sadly babe you don't get a say either but you will once you become Luna".

I chewed the inside of my cheek as I glanced at Charlotte. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on . Visit to read the complete chapters for free. I could feel the tension radiating from his body. He most definitely wasn't happy about this and I knew he was trying his hardest to keep it together.

"When you are Alpha and only when you are Alpha will you be able to make that decision. Now calm down and put your damn claws away".

Glancing at his hands I swallowed the lump in my throat. Sure as shit his claws were extended. It freaked me out that he was able to do that. I wonder if they all had that ability or just him because he's Alpha.

A dark chuckle fell from his lips yet the butterflies erupted in my stomach."Yes mother". And just like that his claws were gone.

"I'm still your mom Jake so your Alpha male doesn't work on me". She grabbed her glass of wine and left the kitchen.

"When will you become Alpha?". I asked.

"When my dad steps down".

"And when will that be?".

"When he knows I'm ready".

I frowned at that. Wasn't he ready now?

"He always told me I had to find my mate first". He took my hand in his. "Told me I would be at my strongest with her by my side".

"And are you?".

"I'm always going to need you Leah. You were made for me". I smiled as he kissed my knuckles.

"We'll be okay wont we?".

"Always babe".

"And I am enough for you right?".

"Baby". He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me flush against him. "You'll always be enough. I can't wait till we mate and you see just what you mean to me". "What does that mean?". I frowned.

"We'll finally be connected". He kissed the top of my head. "We'll become one".

"I'll be able to feel your emotions?".

A laugh fell from his lips. "It'll be magical I know that much".

I couldn't help the faint blush that scorched my cheeks. Never had anyone made me feel the way he does. He's on my mind from the minute I wake up to the minute I go to sleep. "And tonight?". I whispered.

"Don't worry about tonight Leah. Jessica knows the rules and she broke them regardless. No one touches my mate, no one". He hissed.

"Hey". I placed my hands on his chest trying to calm him.

"She could have hurt the most important person to me and she's not getting away with it".

"She's not going to get away with it".

"But she will if my dad keeps her around". His body tensed, his eyes shifting from brown to black.

"Calm down". I whispered running my hands up and down his arms. "Who cares what happens to her. She's not important".Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"You're right babe". Resting his forehead against mine a sigh fell from my lips.

"This is what's important". I brushed my nose against his.

"Oh please, don't make me sick". Alanna laughed as she joined us in the kitchen. "Alanna". He growled.

"I'm kidding". She winked at me. "It's nice to finally see you two loved up".

She wasn't wrong. It was nice not to be at each other's throats for once.

"Is Carter patrolling?".

"Yes he's with Jack. They're coming here when they're finished".

"I'm going to catch up with them". He pulled me closer his grip on my waist tightening. "Stay with me tonight?".

"Okay". I didn't think twice about it.

"Good answer". He smirked. "I won't be long".
