The Alpha Chose Me

Shaking my head yes he smirked before clearing his throat. "It's the full moon princess". I frowned, it wasn't a full moon tonight. "It's coming baby, end of the month. When the full moon rises you'll go into your heat". I had heard of it but no one had explained what "I'll explain nearer the time. Have you decided what you want to eat?"

it was.

I hated how he always changed the subject when the werewolf/mating situation came up.

"What happens exactly?". I asked taking another sip of my water.

"You won't be able to keep your hands of me". He winked.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Shut up". I laughed.

"I'm serious Leah. The full moon is a powerful thing. We mate when it rises". My laughter cut short, the lump forming in my throat. He wasn't joking.

"Will I be in pain?".

"Unfortunately baby yes you will". As he took a sip of his drink I felt my stomach tighten.

"Excruciating pain?". I asked.

"Let not talk about it just now. You're hungry are you not?".

"A little". I shrugged. "Why did you bring me here?". I asked.

"First proper date babe. I had to pull it out the bag". He grinned.

"I would have been happy with a burger and dirty fries". I smiled as I looked over the menu again. "Do they do pasta?". Fancy restaurants always did pasta right?

"They do steak".

"No". I wasn't a big fan of red meat unless it was a burger. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on . Visit to read the complete chapters for free. "Just order me pasta". Couldn't go wrong with pasta. The same lady as before approached our table and Jake placed our order.

"Not long until you finish school". He said finishing off what was in his glass. He could drive home after having one but it was whether or not he was going to order another.

He knew I couldn't drive yet.

"Less than six months". And I had zero plans on what to do after I was done. Get a job or go to uni. Couldn't go to a uni too far away because apparently I wouldn't be able to be away from him for so long. "Any plans for after?". I knew he was fishing. Worried I'd run off and leave him.

"I've looked at a few universities". I was testing the water, dipping a toe in. I had looked at some, Yale more than any other.

His adams apple bobbed. This conversation wasn't going to go down well. I could already feel it and it wasn't a conversation I wanted to get into right now. "Have you applied to any?". He asked.

I had in Florida and I applied to one here. The furthest I've got with Yale is filling out the application. I still didn't think I was good enough to go there.

"A few". Taking a sip of my coke I was glad when our food was placed on the table.

"Can I get you anything else to drink?". Thank god it was a different waitress.

"Scotch neat"....

Oh yeah his mood had definitely changed. He was the one that asked the question. I was just being honest.

"I'm fine". I smiled.

"So where have you applied to?".

"I applied back in Florida but that's no good now and one here". I decided to leave Yale out. I would tell him if I decided to submit my application.

"The university here is good". His mood changed again, he seemed perkier. His scotch was placed beside him.

2 drinks so far.

"Need to wait and see if I get in". Taking my fork I started digging around my plate. I was eating pasta I just didn't know what kind. Taking some on my fork I placed it in my mouth.

"And if you don't get in?".

"I don't know". I shrugged.

"Do you still want a job at the gas station?". He asked.

I was staring at his plate jealous that he had fries. The pasta was nice but there wasn't any meat in it so for me it was a little bland.

"Yeah is that still okay?". I didn't want to wait until my cast came off but there wasn't much I could do otherwise.

"Could take you over there tomorrow after school?". He suggested.

"Is Alanna still working there?".

"Sometimes. We all take a shift here and there. Kinda keep it in the family". He laughed.

"So everyone that works there is like you?". I frowned. Most of his pack members didn't like me. How awkward was that going to be.

"You don't need to work there if you don't want to. We keep it in the family because it's easier so yeah everyone that works there is like me".

"Okay". I couldn't eat anymore of the pasta. I didn't like it and it left an odd aftertaste in my mouth. I had been swirling it around on my plate after the first few bites. Finishing off my coke my phone vibrated across the table catching my attention. "The ex sure does love to message you". His tone was flat, dry. His mood changed more than the weather. I didn't like when he was jealous because when he was jealous he was nasty.

"Never once have I replied". I sighed holding out my hand for my phone.

"No interruptions". His second drink downed, gone.

"Fine". Pushing my plate to the side I tried to get rid of the taste with the last of my water. I wouldn't be coming back here. No matter how expensive it was it just wasn't my cup of tea and not to mention I was still hungry.

I didn't want to feel rude by not eating it but I couldn't stomach anymore. He had made the effort tonight and I appreciated that but I would still have preferred a burger and a walk along the beach. "You finished?". He asked.

I couldn't stop staring at the few fries he had left on his plate. McDonald's fries would be so good right now. A double cheeseburger with extra pickle and a-..... "Babe?".

"Sorry yeah I'm done".

"Can I interest you in any of our desserts this evening?". The waitress asked.

"I'm not-...."

"The bill will be fine". He interrupted cutting me off.

Our first date wasn't going as well as I had thought it would. I had no idea why he thought I'd be into this. It was sweet for him to want to wine and dine me and spend a little money but I wasn't that kind of girl. Bonfires on the beach with burgers and fries. That's the way to my heart. I wanted to break the silence but I didn't know what to say. I always didn't know what mood he was going to be in.
