The Alpha Chose Me

Chapter 22

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. 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.
