The Alpha Chose Me

I was almost finished my work for English class and I was pretty proud of what I had wrote so far. I didn't have anything to do after Jake left so I go stuck right in. I hadn't heard from him but I hoped everything was okay. School was almost over so I knew Alanna would be here soon. Saving my work I closed my laptop and got to my feet. Staying home sick from school seemed like a good idea this morning but I was climbing the walls. I was bored.

Boiling the kettle I made myself a coffee. The dark nights were coming in. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on . Visit to read the complete chapters for free. It wasn't even half four and it was already pitch black. I didn't like the cold but I loved winter. I loved the freshness of the air and how it smelled.

Hearing my phone ping I made my way back into the living room. I was hoping it was Alanna telling me she was on her way.

'Sorry honey running later than expected. There's money behind the fridge use it to buy dinner. I hope you're feeling better'

I wanted to know what it was she was getting up to and where she was going. She was never home anymore, I wasn't getting to see her as much as what I used to.

My phone started to ring.

Alanna was calling.

"Hello".

"Hey are you home? I'm just about to pull up".

"Yes I'm home just come in when you get here".

"I'll see you soon".

The tv was on but I wasn't really watching it. It was more just for some background noise. I was scrolling through Facebook when she arrived.

"Brought you a little something". She grinned handing me a paper bag. I could already smell the chocolaty goodness. She had brought me mini cookies and I couldn't wait to eat them all. "A little thank you for making training a little easier this morning". Taking a bite I frowned at her. Why was she thanking me? I didn't do anything. And training? What was she training for?

"Whatever you said to Jake changed his mood completely. Wait has he been here today?". She asked.

"I asked him to go for coffee".

"You went on a date?". She grinned.

"No he came over for coffee. I took your advice about getting to know him". I shrugged.

"And?".

"It was nice Alanna, he's nice. It's weird because when I'm with him I feel safe. He makes me feel things I've never felt before". I felt a bit embarrassed because I didn't really know him. How can I feel this way about someone I knew nothing about. I couldn't understand exactly what it was that I felt. "So you like him?".

I could feel my cheeks get warm.

"We'll see". I smiled.

"You so do, you like my brother". Making a face she went into her bag and pulled out a folder. "This is from Mr Robinson. I went about your other classes but they didn't have anything for you".

I bet Mr Robinson only gave me work because I missed detention. Rolling my eyes I bit my lip as I took it from her. "What about Mr Gallagher?". I was convinced he really didn't like me at all.

"He said he'll speak to you personally tomorrow". My stomach dropped. Of course he did. I wasn't looking forward to that. "Whatever that means. So are you seeing him again?".

"Have you got plans for dinner?". I asked changing the subject. I didn't want to order takeout for one.

"Moms cooking". She sighed. "Family dinners so I have to go. Do you want to come?".

"Oh it's okay you-..."

"You're not eating alone. Go get changed I'll text my mom and tell her you're coming. She'll be thrilled when she hears about you and Jake". She winked.

"Alanna". I warned getting to my feet. "We only had coffee stop making a big deal out of something when it's nothing".

"Yet". She replied as I went to get ready.

I pulled on some clean jeans and a jumper. Brushing out my hair I pulled it back into a messy bun. That would do, I was only going across the street. Reaching the bottom of the stairs I slipped my feet into my UGG boots. "How come I didn't know you wore glasses?". She asked handing me my coat.

"Because I don't wear them all the time". Putting my jacket on I went about making sure I had switched everything off. "But I really should".

"Good to go?".

"Yes". Turning off the living room light I followed her outside. Making sure I locked the door and it was secure. "Will Jake be here?". I asked as we walked the short distance to her moms house. "Missing him already?". She smirked.

"No, he didn't seem in a good mood when he left earlier". I shrugged "And I haven't heard from him since".

"He might be I'm not sure". Crossing the street I froze when I heard it. "What was that?". I panicked. It sounded like the mournful howl or a cry.

"It'll be nothing". She brushed me off and pulled on my arm. "Come on". That was definitely not nothing and then I remembered the conversation I had when Kane found me in the woods.

Surely there wasn't any wolfs around here right? Something was off I noticed that the day I moved here. Shaking it off I followed Alanna inside.

"Leah". Her mom grinned. "How are you sweetheart?". She pulled me in for a hug and I was not expecting it. She was so nice and welcoming.

"Hi Mrs Taylor I'm good thank you. I hope you're well".

"Call me Charlotte honey. Take a seat, would you like a drink?". She was the mom of all moms and she was stunning. "Yes please water is fine". Taking off my jacket I hung it on the back of my seat.

I still couldn't get over how beautiful their house was. Their kitchen was massive you could fit mine inside it. Tall ceilings and lots of open space. I loved it. "So are you settling in okay?". Placing my water in front of me she went about the kitchen preparing dinner. I had no idea where Alanna had disappeared too.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
