The Alpha Chose Me

I couldn't stop smiling. The way he made me feel when I was around him was magical. It was something I had never felt before with anyone not even Tommy. My smile faded when I caught sight of the photo of us. I knew it was time to take it down.

I felt guilt, I had spent almost 2 years of my life with Tommy and the more time I spent with Jake the more Tommy was forgotten about.

I couldn't help how I felt. Jake was different, I knew that from the moment I met him. We connected instantly regardless of how I felt I couldn't stop my feelings from blossoming.

"Leah, sweetheart can you come down here for a second". My gran called from the bottom of the stairs.

Forgetting about the picture I left my room heading for the living room. George was here again. Him and my gran were sat on the sofa.

"Hey". I smiled taking a seat on one of the chairs.

"How are you feeling?". She asked.

"Much better". I had no idea what she wanted to talk about.

"I've been thinking a lot lately Leah. You don't have long left before you graduate and if you want to or decide to you'll be off to college soon".

"Okay". I had no idea where she was going with this. I didn't know if I was going to go to college yet.

"I have a little something for you, a little early graduation present". Placing on the table in front of her was a little gift box tied with a red bow. "It's from George and I". She smiled.

"You didn't need to buy me anything". I sighed picking up the little box. She was good to me, she always had been and I had wanted for nothing when I was little but I was an adult now. I wasn't going to depend on my gran for things that I wanted or needed. I would work for them.

"You deserve this sweetheart".

Pulling the bow I lifted the lid, no she didn't. Lifting out the key I could feel my eyes start to water. She had bought me a car, my very own car. I no longer needed to rely on anyone for lifts.

"Oh honey don't cry, you deserve this Leah so please enjoy the freedom".

Wiping my eyes I got to my feet. She had no idea how much this meant to me. "Thank you so much".

"You're very welcome". Kissing my cheek I squeezed her tight. I would be lost without her.

"Is it outside?". I grinned.

"It's being delivered tomorrow morning but of course you won't be able to drive it for another 5 weeks". She said nodding at my hand. I frowned I forgot all about that.

"Don't be so disappointed". She chuckled. "You'll get to drive it soon enough. Now we brought pizza it's on the kitchen island if you're hungry".

I was buzzing and feeling so much better. "Thank you again". I grinned heading to the kitchen. Taking a seat at the island I opened the box of pizza my stomach growling as the smell of pepperoni hit my nose.

My gran and George had went to bed around 11pm, I was still sat down the stairs. It was getting pretty late but I wasn't tired yet. I was still on a high and couldn't wait to see my car tomorrow. Taking a picture of my key I sent it to Alanna. I was glad I didn't need to depend on anyone anymore.

'Woohoo. A merc!! Lucky gal I'm jealous!Ax'
