The Alpha Chose Me

By the time I had packed a bag and made sure my house was secure the weather had dimmed. The wind had calmed, the rain spitting. It was cold and dark. Pulling up my hood I locked my front door shoving my key in my pocket.

"So we're going to your moms?". I asked as she tried linking her arm through mine, I pulled back. I didn't need to feel that pain again.

"Sorry and not exactly". I stopped walking. "Everyone is at Jakes. We're all staying there until this passes".

"You said he wouldn't be there. How can he not be in his own home". I huffed. "And who is everyone?". My stomach was already in knots.

"Relax". She whispered. "You got this remember".

"Why do I feel like you're sending me into a trap".

"Don't be ridiculous". She laughed. "Now come on the rains starting to get heavy".

I liked the rain and right now I think I'd prefer to be out here than in there. "Are they going to hate me too?". I asked.

"Who hates you?". We had reached Jakes house and I knew instantly he was inside.

"Alanna I can't-.." My heart was racing, my breathing heavy. I couldn't move. Everything from before hit me like a train. My body ignited, the burning worse, the tingles spreading through my body like wild fire.

"He's left". She whispered.

"H-how do you know?".

Tapping the side of her head she gave me a small smile. "We have our ways. He doesn't want you to feel any more uncomfortable than you already do". As she went to grab my arm I glared. She needed to stop trying to touch me.

"Sorry again". She sighed. "Come inside".

I could smell him everywhere. His scent, his aftershave, just him. Closing my eyes I squeezed tight. I could do this. I just needed to play it cool and not show that I was suffering, that this bond wasn't effecting me the way it was. Nobody needed to know that I was horny, frustrated, angry, upset. I was all of the above. Plastering a smile on my face I sighed internally.

"Leah, sweetheart". Charlotte grinned as she pulled me in for a hug.

A cry fell from my lips.

"Oh, OH". She cried a hand covering her mouth. Wait was she actually crying?

So much for playing it cool.

"Sweetheart". She sobbed. "Happy tears honey I swear".

I was lost for words. It didn't help that everyone was staring at me. I recognised some faces but not much. I assumed this was part of his pack.

"Mom". Alanna groaned.
