The Alpha Chose Me

Ordered us both coffee and waited patiently for her to arrive. It only took her an hour before she walked through the door shades covering her eyes.

Someone was hungover.

She grunted a hello before sitting across from me. "I feel like death". She groaned.

"You should have left when I left. Jake would have dropped you off".

"Where's the fun in that?". She grinned lifting the mug of coffee and bringing it to her lips. "Did you order food?".

I shook my head. "Just coffee".

"Good I don't think I could stomach anything right now. Unless you want to eat?".

"Oh, I'm eating". I smiled. "And you should to it'll make you feel better".

"Probably". She shrugged. "Or it'll make me sick".

"But you'll be fine for tonight, right?".

"Do you really think Jake would let me out of doing my patrol?". She made a face. "I'm hungover not sick". "True". I laughed.

"So, Mr. Gallagher". She smirked. "I wonder why he left the school".

I shrugged. "Still the biggest asshole ever and get this. He's holding a grudge because I turned down Yale".

"No". She laughed. "You were going and then you weren't and then you were and then you weren't. I'd hold a grudge to".

"Hey". I frowned. "Turning down Yale was the biggest decision I've ever had to make. It wasn't easy giving it up". I don't regret my decision, but it still plays on my mind at times. "Well now I feel shitty".

"I'm over it". I shrugged. "I just have to see if I get accepted to college".

"The offer is there for me to speak to my dad". She spoke. "He's got a lot of friends in high places".

No, if I was going to get accepted into college then it was going to be because I deserve it. I didn't need anyone putting a word in for me or doing me any favours.

"No, no favours. If I don't get accepted, then it's their loss". I grinned. "I'm going to order pancakes. Do you want some?".

"With bacon and syrup and get more coffee".

We ate, laughed and had the catch up we needed. Stop reading the wrong and incomplete storyline; job nib.com has the correct and complete book. I've said it before, but I really did miss her not being here. Even with it only being a few days Alanna had become a massive part of my life.

We were more than friends.

"Oh, I'm stuffed". She groaned. "But that was amazing".

"Feeling better?".

She nodded. "Are you and Jake coming tonight?".

"I wouldn't miss dinner". I grinned. "What time do we start night patrol?". "10pm. Bring a bag with a change of clothes and lots of water and snacks". "Change of clothes?". I frowned.

"Yeah, for when you shift back. You do realise we patrol in wolf form, right?".

I had to be in wolf form all night? I swallowed the lump that appeared in my throat. Trying to play it off I nodded. It couldn't be that hard. Channel some anger and I would be fine.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

No, I didn't want to do it that way. I shouldn't have to be anger every time I wanted to shift.

Why couldn't we patrol on foot?

"Hey". She tapped the table to grab my attention.

"Sorry".

"You'll be fine, and we'll have fun I promise".

"I know". I smiled.

"Ready to go I need a nap".

A laugh fell from my lips as I nodded.

I dropped Alanna off at her parents' house. I had texted Carter to come over for coffee and a catch up. I wanted to hear his side of the story about why they're home.

Pulling into the driveway I turned off the engine and got out. I frowned when I heard the laugher coming from the back yard. Maybe he was already here? Heading inside I kicked my shoes off and hung up my jacket before walking to the kitchen. The patio doors were open, so I poked my head around. It wasn't Carter but Jack.

"Hey baby". He smiled.

"Hi". I went to grab a bottle of water and left them to it. Taking a seat on the couch I grabbed the remote and turned on the tv.

"How did the visit go?". He asked.

I shrugged. "I didn't go inside. I think it's better to wait in case I don't get accepted". I wasn't lying but if I told him about Mr. Gallagher, I don't think he'd take it well.
