Leave Me Alpha [#6]

All night Lilly kept repeating that he was our mate. But he can’t be, because his mate already died.

I laid my head on the counter just as someone touched my back.

“You okay Layla?” Mia asked and I nodded

“Yeah. I’m just tired. Didn’t get any sleep last night” she smiled walking to the fridge.

“I wonder why?” I rolled my eyes.

“I wasn’t thinking about Asher”

“I never said you were” I looked up at, narrowing my eyes, playfully

“I hate when you do this to me” she laughed.

“You better get ready. They’ll be here any minute” the doorbell rang.

“Fuck” I muttered quickly walking out just to see Asher come in.

“Mickey Mouse?” He smirked, staring at my onesie and I blushed running upstairs.

I had a shower in the morning, thinking that I still have lots of time to get changed. But stupid me didn’t know that they were early birds, and coming at 11.

I’m not dressing up for no one today. Yesterday he didn’t even say I looked nice or what not.

I wore my black skirts,and a sky blue sleeveless top. My whole closet mostly consists of skirts. I love skirts.

I wore my sky blue vans, and put my hair in a ponytail.

Done.

I opened the door to see Asher looking around.

“This is your room” he nodded to himself.

“Couldn’t you smell my scent?”

“Coconut and lavender?” That’s my scent?

“What do you want?” I asked closing the door, and turning to him.

“Nothing. Your mom sent me upstairs” I nodded.

“Asher, I have a question” he nodded

“Are you my mate?” He froze then chuckled.

“Don’t flatter yourself, sweetheart. You would never be my mate” he walked downstairs.

Cold asshole.

I rolled my eyes and walked downstairs after him to the living room.

“Oh you’re finally here. Do you have time?” Claire asked and I nodded slowly, looking at mom’s glare at my outfit. I’m so happy that I’m leaving.

“Good, good. Now sit down. Asher has to leave in a week or so- and I was think we could talk about what we should do in this last week, since the wedding is a week” She sat down.

“Paul is with Tyler and Adam” I nodded sitting down as she pulled out a few books from her huge bag.

“Now I have chosen a few wedding dresses, and cakes, and the decorations. I just couldn’t wait” she gushed and I smiled

“Whatever you pick Claire, I’m sure Layla would love it” mom said staring at me and I nodded.

“Of course” I knew from her stare what she meant. If I didn’t agree to any of it, I would be dead.

“Oh no, don’t be silly. It’s your wedding day Layla, and I know that’s it’s really quick and all,but I want you to choose what you like. Your dream wedding” Claire smiled at me,warmly. She was really sweet, reminding me of auntie Mia.

“Now you can look at the cakes with Ashe- where did he go?” She looked around.

“I’ll call him. He went outside” Mia stood up, walking out of the room.

After a couple of seconds she came back with Asher behind her.

“Yes?” He looked at Claire.

“Asher, sweetie, sit down here, and look at cakes with Layla” he rolled his eyes, and sat down next to me.

“Mom, just let her pick whatever she wants” he sighed pulling his phone out.

“Asher!” His mom shouted at him.

“Mom, I really need to do this meeting. I’ll just be outside. Let her pick anything she wants, I don’t care” he walked out of the room.

Claire sighed and then smiled at me.

“You look through the cakes and the decorations. Let me know which one you like” I nodded as she turned to mom and Mia.

I flipped through the pages looking for a cake. I came down to a few cakes which I liked.

I really liked the first cake. It looked so elegant, even though we were going to eat it.

“Layla, do you like anything yet?” Claire asked, moving back to me. Mia sat up and sat next to me.

“Oh. That cake nice” she pointed to the first one with flowers around it.

“Yes it is” Claire looked at it.

“I like it too.” I smiled showing it to mom.

“How about the blue one?” She said and Claire shook her head.

“Nope. It’s decided, we’ll have this cake. Any flavouring?” She asked and I nodded

“Chocolate. All of them should be chocolate” Claire smiled.

“I’m guessing you like chocolate?” I nodded

“She doesn’t like chocolate. She loves chocolate” Mia said as Hailey walked in with baby 1. They still didn’t come up with any names.

“Claire, this is Layla’s best friend, and my daughter in law Hailey”

Did I forget to mention that Vincent proposed to Hailey and then got married a week later?

“Layla’s best friend? Come sit here, and help her with her dresses” Claire said, making Hailey sit down next to me

“Can I hold him?” Claire asked and Hailey gave the baby to her.

“My pleasure. Now look at these dresses. Which one do you like?” She asked.

A simple sweetheart neckline dress yet the dress looked beautifully elegant and classy.

“The first one” I pointed to the picture. It was cute, simple,with a little more volume.

“But what about this one? It has gold in it? Or this one? Lace Layla, lace!” She exclaimed

“But I like this one. It’s my wedding Hailey, unless you want to get married to Asher” I smirked

“No! One guy is enough” she shook her head and I giggled.

“I know. Anyway, I like this one, what do you think?” I asked Claire

“I love it” she cooed to the baby.

“I can’t wait for Asher to have kids” she sighed and I choked on air

“Layla, it’s okay. Labour isn’t too hard” Hailey smirked at me.

“Not hard? Yeah right! You were the one who nearly made the castle fall down. Screaming at Vincent to say that you’re never having kids again. Who was that?” I raised my eyebrow

“Me” she mumbled

“Thank you” I smiled

“Now that you have picked your dress, how about decorations. Do you have anything in mind?” I nodded

“A wedding on a beach. I love beaches” she nodded handing the baby to Mia.

“Summer, you’ve been awfully quiet.” Claire said

“I’m okay. Does anyone want a drink?”

“Water please” Claire smiled as mom stood up.

“Mia?”

“Water.” She nodded and walked out of the room.

“Well a beach wedding will look really good. There’s some beach decorations in this book. Have a look” she handed me a book

Hailey and I flipped through the book, until she stopped.

A beach themed wedding.

“I love it” I smiled and she nodded

“I like it too” she showed the page to Claire just as mom came back and handed her a glass of water.

“Thank you. And I think it looks amazing. Now that all the major things are finalised, we can do the others another day” she stood up, placing the glass on the table.

“I was thinking, tomorrow, you and Asher go to pick up a few things?” I nodded

“I better be off. Asher has a meeting” I nodded as she stuffed the books in the bag.

“I’ll talk to Asher about all of the arrangements we’ve done. And if he has any complaints, then I’ll let you all know” she said grabbing her bag.

“I’ll be off. See you tomorrow” she smiled walking out of the room with Mia.

“I need a drink” mom muttered, walking out of the room.

“I see your mom a few times, now” Hailey said and I nodded

“You won’t see her after the wedding” Hailey nodded and turned me around.

“We need to have a party. Get drunk. I need a break, from the kids. Please” she pouted and I nodded

“Me too. I need to get laid” I mumbled and she shook her head

“Nope. You won’t be having sex, Layla. You’re going to get married. You’ll be cheating then”

“I can bet that Asher will be having sex, even when the wedding carries on” she rolled her eyes.

“I don’t care. You need to be loyal. You need to trust him. We’ll go today at 9. Only me and you. Don’t tell anyone” she whispered into my ear,and then ran upstairs.

9 o’clock it is.

*****

9.30. And we were both ready. She was wearing the shortest dress she could find. A tight dress that showed every curve off.

“You look hot” Hailey smirked at me.

“Are you sure Vincent is asleep?” I asked and she nodded

“Yep. He was really tired. Tyler is out with Mia. And your parents are asleep. We can go” she grabbed my hand pulling me out.

My hair was curled and so was hers. Everytime she pulled me, it would bounce up and down.

“We’ll take my car” I whispered, taking the keys from the rack, and tiptoeing outside.

I closed the door behind me and we both sat in the car.

“Hurry up before Mia and Tyler come.” Hailey said and I nodded.

She already seemed drunk.

I pulled out of the driveway and started driving.

“Which club are we going to?” I asked

“A local one. I do have to get back soon. I just want try and enjoy myself for at least 10 minutes” I nodded

After 20 minutes of driving I parked the car outside a quiet club. It wasn’t really quiet, but it didn’t have a queue waiting outside.

“Let’s go party” Hailey exclaimed.

We both got out of the car and went inside. There weren’t any bouncers as well.

“What would you like to have?” The guy smiled at us, as we reached the bar.

“Coke and vodka” Hailey said and he turned to me smiling.

“What would miss gorgeous like?” I smiled.

I need to get laid.

“Vodka. And maybe a side of something else..” I leaned closer to him, but Hailey pulled me back.

“Hailey!” I whined as the guy walked away to get our drinks.

“What did I say to you, Layla? No getting laid today. Don’t leave me alone” I nodded

“Give me a shout when you need something.” The guy looked at me, handing us our drinks.

“I just might.” he nodded, smirking, and walked away.

“Flirting” Hailey shook her head gulping her drink down

“Are you sure,you’re allowed to drink straight after having kids?” I asked and she nodded

“Yep” she shrugged ordering another drink.

“I get drunk easily okay?” She said and I nodded gulping down my drinks

“Can we have 20 shots?“The guy nodded

******

“Give me a turn” she shouted, holding my hand and turning me around.

Drunk Hailey, is fun Hailey

“Whoop whoop! Look at that ass!” She shouted and I started laughing.

“Look at me, look at yo-” hiccups!

“I’ll be back” I mumbled walking off the dance floor.

“Hey babe” a guy stood in front of me.

“Layla!” I heard Vincent’s voice.

Huh?

I turned around to see him running towards me, with Asher behind him.

“Where’s be-”

“Oh hey! Vincent!” Hailey shouted, waving from the dance floor.

She was sitting on the floor, cross legged, meditating.

“Come join me- Woah,I can see stars” she touched her forehead.

Vincent ran towards her, and picked her up,walking towards me.

“Layla why?” He questioned, looking at Hailey.

“She wanted to g-” hiccups I covered my mouth, as Vincent looked at me.

“In my car now” he picked Hailey up.

“I love you baby” she wrapped her arms around his neck.

“And I love you too” they walked out.

“Who loves me?” I shouted

“Come on” Asher grabbed my hand pulling me out.

“Asher, don’t!” I tried to pull his arm out of mine.

“Shut up Layla. You’re my future wife now. You can’t be getting drunk. I have a reputation” he growled at me.

“I don’t want to get married” I whispered following him out of the club.

“Tough luck” he muttered, opening his car door.

“My car?” I looked at him.

“Inside” I nodded, staring at his eyes.

“I don’t want to get married, Asher. I don’t.” I whispered.

He leaned down, towards me. He grabbed a hold of my chin, harshly, making me look up at him.

“Tough luck” he growled. I closed my eyes, tears rolling down my face.

“I’m sorry” I whispered and he let me go. He picked me up and placed me in the car, closing the door.

“I’m sorry” I whispered, closing my eyes, leaning on the seat.
