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.

doesn't seem to be passing anytime soon. I want the perimeter patrolled daily. I want our territory to be safe from trespassers. This is the perfect time for rogue wolfs to attack. You take it in shifts, you do it in groups, you do not go out there on your own. Jake and Jack are already out there, they have been for the last few hours but they are not doing this all on their own, I expect a few of you to go and change over. We all need to keep safe and keep alert. I will check in
