My Hot Alpha

"Heels or flats?". Alanna asked.

"For what?".

We were at the mall. A day we had apparently planned to shop for graduation clothes. I couldn't remember said plan, but I went with it, and it got me out the house for a few hours. "For under your gown".

"Flats". I didn't trust that I wouldn't fall over my feet or trip over on my heel. "Crocs if I'm allowed".

A laugh fell from her lips. "Crocs are taking out the trash shoes".

She had lost me.

"Do you even own crocs?". She asked.

"No but I plan on buying some today".

She rolled her eyes before looping her arm through mine. "I heard a little something".

Here we go.

"What did you hear?". I asked.

I already knew what she was going to say. Nothing was sacred and god forbid if anyone could actually keep their mouth shut. I swear you can't take a dump without someone knowing about it. "Something about your scent changing".

"I'm not pregnant".

I didn't need for everyone thinking that I was. My scent has changed big deal. I took a test, and it came back negative, and I was still bleeding.

"Are you sure?". She asked.

A sigh fell from my lips as I came to a stop. I wasn't having this conversation with her because it was none of her business. It was private and personal, and I wanted to keep it that way.

I didn't need for rumours spreading within the pack. That's if they haven't already. Alanna had a big mouth, big heart but she couldn't keep a secret to save herself". "Leah?".

"I'm not pregnant I took a test".

"Did you take another test because the first one could have been faulty".

Of course, she would be the one to put that in my head. The test wasn't faulty, and I wasn't taking another one. I knew within myself that I wasn't having a baby. I didn't feel any different and nothing had changed. "No and I'm not going to. Where do you want to go for shoes?".

"I have shoes I was coming here for your benefit. Let's go get crocs. I might even buy myself a pair".

"Trash shoes". I grinned.

..

She was staring, I could feel her with every bite of my burger I took. So, I ordered an extra burger sue me. I was hungry so I was going to eat.

"Do you want a bit?". I asked.

She shook her head.

"Then stop staring at me".

"Are you really sure you're not pregnant?". She asked.

I pushed my plate to the side my appetite gone.

"Look". She sighed. "You may not have noticed but your appetite has grown and maybe that's-...".

"Stop". I cut her off. "I ordered an extra burger because I didn't have breakfast. It's not a crime you know, and it doesn't mean anything".

"You're drinking tea".

"I'm also drinking coke". I pointed out.

"But you never drink tea".

"Alanna".

"Okay, okay, I'll stop". She sighed.

"Can I eat the rest of my burger in peace?".

"Maybe not in peace". She glanced at the door. "My mom just walked in".

"Please tell me you didn't tell her".

"I didn't I swear".

Thank god. I didn't need for Charlotte to think I was pregnant. That was a whole other kettle of fish I wasn't ready for.

"Girls". She grinned. "I've picked your gowns up from the drycleaners and I want you both to come by tonight for dinner".

We hadn't been for family dinner in a while.

"Sounds good". I smiled.

"Alanna?". She frowned.

"Of course, mom. Carter and I will be there".

"No honey it's just us girls tonight".

Oh. Maybe not a family dinner then. I wonder what she had in store for us. A girl's night with Jakes mom was never just a girl's night. There was always a reason behind it. If that reason wasn't me, then I was good for it. "What time tonight?". Alanna asked.

"7 sharp and bring your pjs".

An overnighter?

"I have to go I'll see you both tonight and don't be late".

"Bye". I waved.

"Any idea what that was about?". I asked.

"My mom being her normal self". She glanced at her watch. "Do you know he's got Carter and I on opposite patrols".

"Carter still nights then". I finished off my burger and washed it down with the rest of my tea.

"We're hardly going to see each other. He always does this to me and I'm sick of it".
