The Alpha Chose Me

"Harsh and no your gran let me in". She sighed. "See it from our point of view Leah. I couldn't tell you no matter how much I wanted to. It wasn't my place".

I didn't know what to say. If he hadn't of gotten so angry would I have still found out the truth or would I still be left in the dark?

"It's a massive part of our life. This is who we are and now that you know you'll understand a lot more".

"What does this have to do with me?". I asked.

She smiled at me before getting to her feet. "I'll give you some space. I know finding something like this out is a lot to take in".

"Is he okay?". I asked sinking my teeth into my bottom lip. I cared about him. I still couldn't put my finger on why but I did.

"He will be". She smiled. "But maybe don't shut him out".

"I-I don't know if I can face him". I whispered. What would I even say?

"Please Leah". She begged. "Please don't shut him out".

"I need some time". I wasn't going to shut him out I just didn't know how to be around him. What triggered him to turn into his animal. Could he turn whenever he wanted? Was he dangerous?

"He'll never hurt you".

"I know". I knew deep down he wouldn't hurt me but how much control did he have over his animal? I had so many questions.

"Do you want to come over?". She asked.

"Alanna I-..."

"Need space". She smiled cutting me off.

"Just a little but I'll see you at school tomorrow". Only then did I realise I was still standing in my towel.

"I'm going for coffee this afternoon with Lacey. The offers there if you want to come. No pressure though". "Maybe". I shrugged.

"Okay well I better get home. I'll see you later Leah".

"Bye". I smiled.

..

I had been sat in my room for what seemed like forever. My laptop open researching werewolf's. I was sat researching an animal that only existed in the wild or so I thought before. Were they wild animals?

This was ridiculous, I was being ridiculous. This doesn't happen. I was still struggling to believe this was true and I had seen the proof front and centre.

"Leah sweetheart". My gran knocked before she entered. "I brought you some coffee".

Closing my laptop I took the mug from her. "Thank you". My head was fried. I had officially worn my self out. I couldn't google what I wanted to know because in the real world people couldn't transform into werewolf's. "George and I are going for lunch. Would you like to come?". She asked. "Who's jumper is that?".

I didn't even hesitate to put his hoodie on when I was getting changed. It was kind of my routine now and I had yet to wash it because I was afraid it would lose his smell.

I sounded like a crazy person.

"No I'm actually going for coffee with Alanna and Lacey". I missed out the part that the hoodie belonged to Jake.

"Hm". She grinned. "Well I'll leave some money in the kitchen. So the jumper-.."

"Jakes". I couldn't remember how I ended up with it but I wasn't giving it back.

"I haven't seen Jake in a few days. Is everything okay?".

"Everything's fine... I think".

"Are you two still hanging out?".

"Gran". I sighed.

"Can't blame me for wanting you to be happy Leah".

And she thought Jake made me happy?

"I am happy". Frowning I took a sip of my coffee. I liked being around Jake, we had fun together, it was easy with him.

"He seems smitten with you". She grinned. "I've seen the way he looks at you".

"Gran". I groaned. "We're just friends".

"Do you like him Leah?". I had no idea what she was getting at.

"I like hanging out with him". I shrugged. "It's not a big deal, that's what friends do".

"Is he just your friend though?".

"Yes we're-..." I stopped talking. George had obviously told her what he had seen the other day.

"You're allowed to want more Leah".

Okay I wasn't having this conversation. Jake and I were friends. Yes he took me on a few dates but that was it.

"Gran, I love you but please I don't need to have this conversation with you. We're friends and that's it".Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

"Well that's a shame because I like him and he would be good for you".

If only she knew the half of it.

"Maybe he would be". I shrugged.

"I'm not going to pry anymore. We're heading out around 12. Are you leaving before then?".

"Not sure yet". My phone vibrated from beside me. "I won't be late though".

"Okay honey, please remember I'm always here if you need to talk about anything".

"I know". I smiled. This wasn't something I could just talk about and especially not with my gran. I wouldn't dare share a secret that wasn't mine. "Will you be home for dinner?". She asked.

"I'll be here". Stretching out my arms a yawn escaped my mouth.

"Are you sure you're okay?".

"I'm fine stop worrying". Lifting my phone my stomach dropped when I saw Jakes name. If only I hadn't saved his number again.

"Okay, okay, I'm off. I'll see you later".

He had sent me a text message.

'Hey'.
