The Alpha Chose Me

I turned around. I made it as far as the gas station on the edge of town before I realised going to the cabin on my own without telling anyone was more hassle than what it's worth. It was late and I was exhausted, but tonight kept playing over and over in my head. Charlotte kicked us out, Jake hadn't returned home, and I was itching to know what his dad meant. Why was he keeping me in the dark instead of teaching me to become a strong wolf?

A sigh fell from my lips as I turned my attention back to the road. I loved how peaceful it was at this time. No traffic, no noise just silence. Turning into our street I once again drove by Jake's parents' house. The light was still on.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

I drove round the block one more time before pulling into their driveway. Turning off the engine I unbuckled my seatbelt but didn't get out. I sat for what felt like hours before deciding this was a bad idea. I didn't want to cause anymore hiccups between him and his family. I didn't want him to think I went behind his back.

As I clipped my seatbelt back into place the porch light came on and the front door opened.

His mom appeared.

Shit.

It's not like I could drive off now. As she reached my car, I rolled down my window.

"It's late Leah is everything okay?"

"He hasn't come home".

"Come inside and I'll make some tea".

"I should go home". I chewed the inside of my cheek. Me being here was only going to make this whole situation worse. "It's late and I'm tired".

"Come inside you can stay the night".

"It's better if I go home". I gave her a small smile. "But can I come by tomorrow?".

"I'd feel better if you stay here. Jake isn't home and I don't want you in that big house all on your own".

"I'll be fine I'm just going to go to bed".

"How about we go for breakfast tomorrow?". She suggested.

"Yeah". I smiled. "I'd like that and about tonight I'm sorry".

"Forget about it honey. I only kicked you out because I didn't want Jake and his dad shifting in the house. The mess and the clear up is brutal. You go on home, and I'll see you in the morning". "Good night, Charlotte".

He still wasn't home but at this point I expected as much. I locked all the doors before heading upstairs and getting ready for bed.

I was fast asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
