The Alpha Chose Me

Pushing open the school doors I walked down the steps towards his car. Opening the door I dumped my bag on the back seat. "Why do I need to leave early?". I sighed closing the door and putting my seatbelt on.

I had texted Ryan letting him know I had left and that he didn't need to take me home.

"I'm busy baby. I've been stuck in pack meetings all day. This rogue problem isn't going away". Placing his hand on my knee he squeezed.

"And I had to leave school because you're busy?". I didn't understand. I had a lift home. He didn't need to come for me.

"I needed to see you".

"You couldn't have waited until I finished?". I asked. He removed his hand placing it back on the steering wheel. "I can't really afford to be skipping school Jake". At this rate I wouldn't graduate at all.

"Like I said I'm busy".

"And I'm not?". He wasn't to busy to be messaging Jessica though.

"You know what I mean".

"Well actually I don't because you never tell me anything. If you're going back into another pack meeting then drop me off home". At least I wouldn't be on my own there. Lana hadn't went to school yet again.

"Don't be like that Leah". His grip tightened, his knuckles turning white.

"Id rather be in my own home than be judged by people that don't know me". Crossing my arms over my chest I turned away from him.

"I might have to go away for a bit".

"Why?". I knew something was going on. I had no idea why he was keeping me in the dark about it.

"I have to visit our neighbouring pack. They're having the same issue. We think it may be related".

"How long?".

"I'm not sure yet".

"A few days, weeks, a month?". I asked. I was trying not to lose my head. He was leaving and the full moon was fast approaching.

"Come with me"...

"How long?". I asked again.

"A good few weeks".

"Okay. Drop me off at home please". I didn't want to talk about this. He was leaving and I didn't know if he would be back in time.

"Babe I need to-...."
