My Hot Alpha

I fell back to sleep to the sound of his heartbeat. When I woke again it was light outside, he wasn't beside me. Stretching out my limbs a hiss fell from my lips at the shooting pains in my stomach. It felt like a period only worse.

My full body ached.

I was sweating. So much so my hair was stuck to the back of my neck. Rubbing my forehead, I pushed the covers off my body. That's when I noticed the blood, my blood.

It was smeared all over the cover, all over the bed sheet beneath me.

Shit.

As I heard the flush of the toilet, I pulled the covers back up and over my body. I didn't want him to see this.

"I've ran you a bath".

For some reason I couldn't look at him. I felt embarrassed. I didn't want to get out of bed when he was still here. I was covered in blood; the bed was covered in blood. "Thanks". I didn't make a move to go anywhere. I was hoping he would take the hint.

He didn't.

A sigh fell from my lips. "Could you make me coffee?". I asked.

"Leah"...

My eyes connected with his.

He knew. Of course, he knew. He could probably smell it. I cringed at myself for even thinking that.

"It's embarrassing". I whispered.

"It's just blood baby. Here". He handed me one of his t-shirts. "Put that on and go for a bath. It'll help with the pain".

"Okay". I pulled the t-shirt over my head and down my body. This is what I wanted. I was glad he was here. Looking after me, loving me the way he should. Again, I dread to think what I would be like if I was on my own. "How are you feeling?". He asked.

"I'm okay. It's not as bad as I thought it was going to be. That's probably down to you being here". I slipped out of bed heading for the bathroom.

"Can we talk once you're done?"

I didn't want to talk about it. I already told him this. I knew why he wanted to do it so I wasn't sure what else he could tell me.

"I don't want to".

"You're still pissed but please let me explain".

"I'm not". I frowned. "I told you-...".

"Yeah, you're fucking disappointed". He snapped.

Him snapping didn't bother me. It didn't faze me in the slightest, not like it did before. I chewed the inside of my cheek and shrugged. "I don't want to talk about it because there's nothing you can say that I don't already know. You're here, you chose not to do it so we can put it behind us and move on".

"I f****d up".

"You did but that's okay".

"Fuck' sake Leah will you just scream at me. Tell me how shit of a mate I am and then we can move on. I don't like this cool and calm attitude. Call me out on my shit so I can apologize".

I made a face. Was he serious?

"You don't need me to do any of that for you to apologize".

"I feel like it's the calm before the storm". He muttered.

I gave him a small smile. I wasn't going to do or say anything. I wasn't going to bring it up again. Like I said. He was here and that's all that mattered. "No storm I promise".
