The Alpha Chose Me

I couldn't sleep. My mind wouldn't shut off. Groaning I sat up turning my bedside lamp on. It was 3am. Lana was passed out by the time I got home. I had showered changed into fresh pjs but still I couldn't settle.

I had school in less than 6 hours and I couldn't see it far enough. I still had to talk to Carter and I had the weekend before I needed to face my gran.

They lied to me, my gran had lied to me my whole life. She obviously knew uncle Zac was a werewolf. I couldn't really be mad at Carter. He did to me what I'm doing to Lana. A secret that isn't mine to share. I guess it wasn't his either.

Then there was the celebration. A celebration to celebrate Jake finding me. I wasn't really in the mood to celebrate. This was all happening and I had no control over it. It was one thing after another. I was still struggling with the idea that werewolf's were real and now I was related to one and a mate to the other.

Further down the line my children would be wolfs. Sighing I rubbed a hand over my face. This is what stupid shit I thought about when I couldn't sleep. I was an over thinker. Pushing my covers off I got out of bed.

Heading downstairs the first thing I noticed was the kitchen light. That wasn't on when I got home. Guess I wasn't the only one that couldn't sleep. She was sat with a cup of hot chocolate and a box of Oreos.

"Kettles on".

"Can't sleep?". I asked fixing my cup.

"It's to damn hot". She groaned. "Kinda nervous about tomorrow well today. New school, new start".

"I was the same but hey you've got me and Alanna and Lacey will be there to. I'll introduce you to Ryan as well". Sitting across from her I stirred my hot chocolate.

"Hold up who's Ryan?". She grinned.

"A friend". Taking a sip of my hot chocolate a yawn escaped my mouth.

"A friend huh, is he hot?".

Of course that's what she wants to know.

"I have to leave school early tomorrow. Got the hospital". I said holding up my hand. I had to change the subject. Ryan was a good looking guy but I didn't see him that way.

"On my first day". She frowned.

"It wouldn't have been your first day if you went yesterday".

Making a face she shrugged. "I'm sure I'll be fine. Pete wants to drop me off. Boy can't get enough of me". She winked.

Rolling my eyes I shook my head. She seemed pretty smitten with him. I just hoped for Petes sake she didn't chuck him.

"How was your dinner?". She asked.

I wanted to tell her it was eventful. I wished I could talk to her about everything but I couldn't. Until she knew the truth I only had Jake to vent to and even then it wasn't the same as venting to my best friend.

"It was fine". I smiled. "It's not the first time I've had dinner with his family. His moms the sweetest".

"Sounds like you had fun". She grinned placing her cup in the sink. "I'm going back to bed. I'll see you in the morning. Love you". She yelled as she headed up stairs.

"Love you too".

I wasn't tired in the slightest. A few yawns but no stinging eyes yet. I wondered if Carter was staying with Alanna or if he was staying in a hotel. I knew my gran would make him stay here when she got back.

I couldn't wait to have that conversation when she arrived back home. She didn't know that I knew. I hadn't spoken with her since she left and she was yet to check in.
