The Alpha Chose Me

I could hear voices or maybe I was dreaming. Slowly coming to I opened my eyes, I wasn't in my house. Sitting up I winced at the pain shooting through my head.

"Easy sweetheart, you hit your head pretty hard".

I was at Jakes moms.

Why was I here?

Then I remembered what I saw. The beast, the wild creature. I suddenly didn't feel so good. I felt like I was going to be sick.

"It's okay Leah". As she made her way towards me I jumped to my feet. "He's upstairs and he feels terrible. He didn't want you to find out this way, please don't go". She begged.

I couldn't wrap my head around what I saw. How was this possible? He turned into an animal, a wild beast, a wolf. A massive wolf.

"It's a lot to take in honey but do you understand now why he wanted to wait?".

"I- how?". Slowing sitting back down I rubbed a hand over my face. "I need to go home". I whispered. I couldn't take any of this in. It wasn't humanly possible for him to be able to do that. "Please Leah". She begged.

"Is Jake the only one that can do that?". I asked. This was obviously the secret he was hiding or maybe the secret they all were hiding.

Maybe they're all wolfs?

"No sweetheart he's not. We run as a pack, our pack is based here in Texas".

Wow, wow and wow.

"Let me get you some tea".

"A pack?". I asked.

"Could say it's like an extended family. We have over 200 members and counting. Our pack is one of the largest around".

"How is this possible". I whispered mostly to myself. This couldn't be real.

"Here". Passing me the tea I gladly took it. "I added a little sugar in there". She smiled before taking a seat across from me.

"So you're all werewolf's?". My body was shaking. Whether it was from the adrenaline or fear I wasn't sure.

"My family and I are. My husband is Alpha of our pack, he is our leader. I don't want to tell you to much Leah because I'm sure Jake will want to share it with you".

I wasn't sure I could face Jake right now. I wasn't sure I wanted to be here anymore. Sitting my cup down my shaking hand didn't go unnoticed.

"You don't have to be afraid of us Leah".

"I-I have to go home, I'm sorry".

I was in a daze, I couldn't think straight after what I had witnessed. The sound of a car horn knocked me, jumping in fear I ran all the way home and didn't stop until I was in front of my house. Catching my eyes were the balloons. A new black Mercedes sport was parked in my driveway, pink balloons on each wing mirror.

"Finally you're home, you left pretty early sweetheart". My gran burst out the front door smiling from ear to ear. "Do you love it?".

"I do". I smiled. The car was beautiful and new and far to expensive for my gran to buy. "Can we afford this?". I asked. My reflection caught my attention, I was chalk white.

"I don't want to hear about money Leah, we bought this for you so stop worrying. Come inside for breakfast and then I'll take you a drive in it". She was so happy, excited. I wanted to be excited about my new car but I couldn't stop thinking about Jake and what he

was.

Following her inside I smiled at George as he passed me a cup of coffee. "Waffles and bacon okay for breakfast?". He asked.

"Yes thank you". Taking a seat I could feel my phone vibrating from inside my pocket. Taking it out Alanna's name was flashing on my screen. I chose to ignore it, I didn't want to talk to anyone.

"Are you okay sweetheart?". Placing her hand against my forehead I frowned. "You're very pale this morning, do you feel better?".

"I'm fine". I lied. I wasn't fine but I couldn't exactly tell her what was wrong. Who would believe me, no one would believe what I saw and what I knew.

"If you're sure Leah. You don't seem yourself".

"Gran". I sighed.

"Okay, okay". Holding her hands up she smiled. "What's your plans for today, are you seeing your friends?".

"Not today, I'm going to get organised for school tomorrow". Finishing off my breakfast I placed my plate in the sink.

"I meant to say Jacob is going to make a start on the bathroom tomorrow". My stomach dropped. "They done a fabulous job with the kitchen. I can't wait to see how the bathroom will look". "It'll be nice". I smiled.

"Are you sure you're okay?" She sighed.

"I'm fine I promise. I'm going to shower". I had to get out of there. I didn't like lying to her and she could always tell when I was hiding something. This secret wasn't mine to tell.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Wrapping the towel around my body I stared at my reflection in the mirror. My stomach was still in knots, my mind working overtime.

Jake and his family were werewolf's. How many other people in this town were the same. His mom did they they had 200 hundred members. Were the people I had become friends with all keeping this secret? Were they all beasts? Lifting my dirty clothes I exited the bathroom and went straight to my room. I needed time to understand all of this. Closing my door I jumped when I saw her sitting on my window seat.

"What are you doing here?". I asked placing my dirty clothes in my laundry basket.

"You didn't answer any of my calls".

"So you thought you'd just invite yourself over?". I didn't mean to sound rude but she needed to give me time, they all did. They couldn't just spring this on me and expect me to be okay. This wasn't normal to me.
