The Alpha Chose Me

"No".

"I'm not asking princess".

I was stood at my front door as Ryan parked his car in the driveway.

"I'm perfectly fine staying on my own". I didn't need to be looked after 24/7. I moved so Ryan could get past. The pizza he was carrying made my stomach growl.

"I really don't give a shit Leah. Please don't argue with me about this. What are you going to be like when we're mated?".

Good question. I still wasn't ready to move out. Especially now since my gran wasn't doing so good.

"Fine". I sighed closing the door. Anything to keep him happy right? "But Ryans here so I won't be over till later".

"As long as he remembers to keep his hands to himself". I rolled my eyes fighting my back smile. He always was the jealous type.

"He knows". I glanced at Ryan as I got us a bottle of water from the fridge. "Have you seen Lana?". I hadn't seen her in days. Our friendship didn't feel the same anymore. "She's here".

She was?

"Oh". I didn't like the feeling in my stomach.

"It's normal babe. Remember she's newly mated".

"Yeah". I sighed. Another reminder that everyone was mated except me.

"Soon baby real soon".

"I know. Is Carter with you I haven't heard from him". I had no idea where my aunt Claire was either.

"He's taking Alanna out with his parents".

"Did they fix things?".

"I'm assuming so but remember it's nothing to do with you".

"Us Jake, it's nothing to do with us". If it came down to it Alanna would have to move and there was nothing he could do.

He laughed. "Everything that happens has something to do with me. I'm Alpha baby".

Rolling my eyes I took a seat on the couch. "Of course it does. I'm going to go but I'll see you later okay".

"Aye beautiful. I'll pick you up around 8. Give you a little time with Ryan".

That was not like him.

"Okay bye".

"Jake's a lucky man". He winked passing me a slice of pizza.

Rolling my eyes I turned on the tv for a little back ground noise. "How's school been, anymore big games coming up?". I took a bite of my pizza the taste exploding on my tongue. "Coach is on my ass constant, pushes me to be the best I can be. This is the first day I haven't had practice".

"It'll be worth it when you're a big time football player". I teased. "I'll be lucky to get back into school".

"What's happening with that?". He asked.

"My aunt Claire's going to the school tomorrow because my gran can't. I'll hopefully find out then".

"People are talking".

"And saying what?". I frowned.

"That he was an asshole".

"I'd see the point if I was bad in his class but I'm not. I'm really f*****g good at English. He likes me one day, offering to help me get into Yale and then freaks out the next. It's so weird". "Yale?".

"Exactly I'm that good". I grinned. "I always said from the moment I started he didn't like me".

"Nah shorty I can't see it being that. Maybe you just caught him on a bad day".

Shrugging I took another slice of pizza. I wanted to ask him about Rocco but didn't know how to go about it. They couldn't have became friends that fast right? "Heard from Abby?".

"We text here and there but that's it. I don't get the chance for anything else. It's school or football".

"What about the new girl?". This was my in. This was how I would find out the situation between him and Rocco.

"She's cute". He smirked. "But she's not my type".

"That have anything to do with her brother?".

"He's a cool guy". He shrugged. "Don't know how I feel about him calling you beautiful though. You're my shorty not his".

"Always". I laughed. "What's the deal with him, are you friends?".

"He's alright, had a lot to say about you though".

"I'm sure he did". I wasn't afraid of him. He could play all the little games he wanted. I wasn't interested.

"You still coming out tomorrow?". He shoved another slice of pizza into his mouth.

"Yeah". I had already decided I was. I needed something to take my mind off everything that's been going on.

"Is the she devil coming with you?". He smirked.

"Why don't you like her?".

"I didn't say I didn't like her. We used to be really good friends".

They did?

"What happened?". I asked.

"We went our separate ways, got new friends and here we are". He shrugged. "But anyway I better be heading".

How come Alanna had never told me that?

I walked Ryan out waiting until he was gone before I went back inside. I locked the door and started clearing up the rubbish.

What's the chances of Jake actually letting me go out tomorrow?

I grabbed my duvet from upstairs and started working on my assignment for English. Regardless if I was getting to go back or not I would still complete it.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

I had decided to go with Jane Austen pride and prejudice. A little cliche and probably done about 1000 times but I knew I would do it justice.
