My Hot Alpha

After saying goodbye to everyone we headed out and headed home. The car ride home was quiet but comfortable. I couldn't wait to get home and get into my pjs. "You doing okay?". He asked.

"Better than I expected". That wasn't a lie. I thought I would have been heartbroken but I wasn't. I thought I would have at least cried but that hasn't happened either. "I know I should be upset but I'm not. Does that make me a bad person?". "You're not a bad person Leah. Your gran left you and there is no excuse for it. If anything I'd expect you to be angry".

"I was". I unclipped my seatbelt. "But now I don't feel anything. Maybe it's a delayed reaction".

"Maybe and if it is please talk to me when you need to. I'm always here princess".

"I know".

"Head inside I'm sure Lana will be here any minute. I'm going for a run I won't be long". He kissed the top of my head before disappearing out back.

I had managed to change into my pjs and was comfortable on the couch before Lana showed up. A good hour or so after I texted her. The girl would be late to her own funeral.

"You here on your own?". She asked kicking her shoes off and sitting beside me.

"Jake's out a run". I felt awkward and I hated it. It had never been awkward between us before. We knew each other inside out. "Do you want a drink?". I asked getting to my feet.

"I'm sorry". She sighed following me to the kitchen.

"What for?". I frowned.

"I should have been here for you more. I met Pete and suddenly he was the only thing that mattered. I've been a shitty friend and I hate how we've grew apart".

"Same". I opened the fridge taking out two beers. "I miss our friendship".

"How did we end up like this?". She asked.

"It happens". I shrugged passing her a beer. "But there's always room to fix it".

She tapped her beer bottle of mine and grinned. "So what's been happening, what have I missed? How's Miss Wilson?".

"You haven't heard?".

"Heard what?".

"My gran left".

"What do you mean left?". She frowned.

"A lot has happened Lana. My gran kept me in the dark for so long and now I know the truth". I wasn't sure how I was going to tell her about me being a werewolf. "I think that's why I'm not upset that she left. I'm sad but I thought I'd have at least cried". "Why did she leave?".

I shrugged. "No idea. I haven't built up the courage to try and call her. I'm afraid it brings out-...". I stopped myself.

"Afraid of what Leah?".

"Afraid that I get angry and it brings out my wolf".

Her eyes widened. "Shut up no you're not".

"I only found out a few days ago. Everything's a mess Lana and for once the only good thing going for me is Jake".

"I'm so sorry Leah. I should have been here".

"Friendship works both ways and I haven't been the best either".

"With everything you've got going on I'm not surprised. Fuck Leah you're a werewolf".

"I still can't believe it myself".

"I'm more pissed Pete didn't tell me. I mean-...

"It's late". His voice reached my ears.

I wonder how much of our conversation he heard. Lana took a sip of her beer her eyes landing on mine.

"Guess that's my queue".

"Lunch tomorrow?". I suggested.

"Yeah gal. Text me when you're up".

"You didn't need to do that". I sighed emptying the beer bottles down the sink.

"Do what?".

"Chase her out".

"Maybe I just want you all to myself". He grabbed me around the waist resting his head on my shoulder. "Besides you'll see her tomorrow". "Did you enjoy your run?". I lay my hands on top of his.

"I did. Just wait until we're running the woods together".

"Yeah if I can ever get her to come out".

"It'll happen baby I promise. How have you been feeling recently?".

"All over the place. Dealing with my gran leaving and there's still my dad to-....

"Full moons soon Leah". He cut me off.

"Great". I sighed.

"It's not the best timing baby but it's coming".

My heart fluttered. We were finally going to mate, it was finally going to happen. Why was it everything happened at the one time? "How long do I have?".

"Until what?".

"Until the symptoms start?".

"Ah". He grinned. "Don't worry you'll get through prom and graduation but after that your ass is mine".

He moved so fast, throwing me over his shoulder a squeal fell from my lips as he bolted through the house taking me upstairs.

Within what felt like seconds I was tossed onto the bed him crawling on top of me. Brushing his nose against mine three little words fell from his lips. "I love you".
