The Alpha Chose Me

We had been on the road for a total of 20 hours, stopping every so often for gas and food. As she pulled into the last gas station before our arrival I jumped out so I could stretch my legs.

"Texas isn't so bad" She grinned as I looked about myself. "We're only about half an hour away so I'll pay here you go get some coffee". Handing me some money I headed inside. It might not be so bad but it still wasn't home. Something didn't feel right around here. As I fixed two coffees I heard the chime of the door and instantly the hairs on the back of my neck stood.

My body felt weird.

And then I felt the presence behind me.

My heart was beating abnormally fast, my palms started to sweat.

This was weird.

Straightening my shoulders I stirred in sugar, placed the lids on and with a deep breath I turned around.

No one was there.

Okay I was officially going mad. I could have sworn I felt the presence of another behind me. Shaking it off I headed toward the cashier to pay for my coffee.

"Regular or large?" The girl asked her smile bright.

"2 regular and this" Picking up the twizzlers I got stuck right in. Yeah I had the biggest sweet tooth ever. "Sorry" I grinned "Sweet tooth craving sugar". Suddenly embarrassed I handed over my money and lowered my head.

"That's alright I'm Alanna".

"Leah". Taking my change I lifted my coffee.

"New to town?".

"That obvious?" I asked.

"City girl?"

"Florida".

Suddenly I got the feeling I was being watched and not by the girl behind the counter. Again the hairs on my neck stood a shiver going through my body. I was starting to think I was coming down with the cold.

"I have a feeling you'll like it here". She grinned.

Making a face I shrugged my shoulders before heading outside. That was weird. There was definitely something different about this place.

"Twizzlers Leah really?" Closing the car door I grinned. My gran knew how much I was addicted to sugar. Passing her coffee I glanced back at the gas station as we drove away, 4 guys were stood outside staring directly at our car.

Yeah because that wasn't odd.

"I like sugar" I laughed sticking another twizzler in my mouth. I swear sugar was the best thing ever to be invented.

"You won't be saying that when you get cavities" She warned picking up speed. "How are you really feeling about all of this?".

"Ask me that question in about a month". I couldn't tell her how I was feeling because I didn't want to upset her. She thought doing this was the best for us so I was going to try and make it work.
