Chapter Chpater 135
"We need to go Leah now".
"It's doesn't mean he's here to cause trouble". I said as we rushed out of the diner. If he wanted to hurt me he would have done it already. I was alone with him yesterday. "Put your seatbelt on". She ordered.
Bringing the car to life she sped out of the car park her tires screeching against the road. "Alanna slow down". Clutching my seat I felt my heart racing.
"How did we not see this coming, how did we not know. We have to go to my moms. I need to make sure she's safe".
There wasn't much I could say right now. I couldn't tell he was a wolf but I also didn't think he was a threat. It wasn't long before we reached her parents house.
"Jake and my dad need to come home". She was out the car before I could answer. I could tell she was freaking out. "I also need to call Jack and tell him to get over here. He is a threat Leah, no one is safe until we know why he is here". "Do you think you could leave out the part of me knowing him and that he isn't here alone?".
"What?". She yelled. "Are you stupid? I don't have time to listen to this". She ran up her drive way leaving me in the cold feeling shit about myself.
How was I to know Rocco was a werewolf?
Walking slowly up the drive I entered the house. I could hear Alanna on the phone, as I walked into the kitchen Charlotte was preparing some tea. "You want some honey?".
"No, sorry I have to go home". Alanna really got to me with what she said. She made me feel like this was my fault.
"It's probably best you stay here Leah".
"No I'll be fine honestly". I was already out the front door before she could stop me. Rushing across the street I didn't stop until I was behind my front door. My house was in darkness so I knew my gran and George were already in bed. Kicking off my shoes I walked up the stairs making sure not to make a sound. Climbing into bed I turned on my tv and continued watching the vampire diaries.
I should never have went out and Alanna should never have spoken to me the way she did. I get that she's anxious and worried but that wasn't my fault.
This wasn't my fault.
Pulling the covers up and under my chin my phone started to vibrate. Of course he was calling me and probably to shout at me.
"Hello". I whispered.
"Get yourself back over to my moms. I'll be home by morning".
"I'm in bed Jake".
"I'm not asking princess".
"Yeah well I'm not going. I'm safe, goodnight". Turning off my phone I slipped it under my pillow. I had just about enough of people trying to tell me what to do.
I couldn't sleep. I tossed and turned but couldn't seem to settle. I was afraid to turn on my phone because I knew there would be messages from him.
I was in my own home, no one could get to me. I was safe and George was here. Groaning I balled my hand into a fist before thumping it into my mattress.
Pushing my covers off I got out of bed turning on my bedside lamp. My tv was still on, I thought the background noise would help but obviously not. Slipping my feet into my slippers I went downstairs. Maybe a hot drink would help. Looking through the cupboard I sighed when I noticed we had nothing but coffee. I loved coffee but it wasn't going to help me sleep. Reaching for a glass I ran it under the cold water then sat at the kitchen island.
I wonder what tomorrow or today I should say was going to bring. He wasn't going to be happy with me, I knew that much. I disobeyed him once again.
Rocco didn't scare me, I believe I had a good gut feeling and with him I got nothing. I couldn't see him wanting to hurt me.
But then maybe that was part of his plan. Be nice to me, befriend me and then hurt me. My mind wouldn't shut off. It was scenario after scenario.
He wouldn't gain anything from hurting me. Of course if he hurt me it would hurt Jake but surely he wasn't going to hurt me enough to kill me.
Right?
Jake was dangerous, he was powerful. It would take a lot to take him down. His pack were his army. Rocco was here with his sister but I wasn't sure if it was just the two of them.
Taking a sip of my water I jumped when I heard the knock at my back door. It was after 2 in the morning. Surely he wasn't home already? Slipping off the chair the knock got louder. Whoever it was better hope they don't wake up my gran. "Leah it's me. Open up".
Jack!
Unlocking the door I pulled it open trying my hardest not to be too loud. Jack wasn't alone. Him and Alanna were stood at the bottom of my steps. "Don't you people sleep". I asked.
"Looks like you don't either". He said. "Come outside or let us in". Moving away from the door I let them both in. Alanna had yet to say anything. "What's going on?".
"There is 6 of them".
I'm guessing he was talking about the rogue werewolf's. "Found out they bought a house in town".
"And are they a threat?".
"We don't know yet". Alanna said.
Oh she speaks.
"Jake's 2 hours out. He wants you home before he gets there".
"I am home".
"Just come with us Leah please". Alanna begged.
"Look I'm okay, I'm safe. There's no difference from me being here to being over there. I'm sure I'll see him in the morning".
"He wants you home. Now stop being stubborn and come with us". Jack glared.
"You're unbelievable and Jake can't just boss me around. He can't tell me what to do".
"He can and he will. Regardless if you don't want to, sometimes you just have to suck it up and take it on the chin".
This was bullshit.
"Well actually he can't". I glared at Jack. "We aren't mated just yet".
"You really going to make me force you?". He snapped.
"Jack". Alanna stepped in front of him. "That's not a good idea".
"Fine do what you want. You'll just piss him off even more but don't worry it won't be you that gets it in the neck". He growled before storming out. I'm glad he didn't slam the door.
