My Hot Alpha

"Great you guys are fighting because of me. Woohoo". She groaned.

"We're not fighting". I huffed. "But Jake's right you need to talk to Carter. He needs to know how you feel about this big move". "Fine, okay, but don't be surprised if I turn up here tonight with my sleeping bag". "You won't".

After she left, I made my way upstairs and into our bedroom. We weren't fighting and I was going to make sure he knew that. Hearing the water running from the shower I stripped out of my clothes and opened the bathroom door. "Room for one more?". I asked.

Euphoria.

Every inch of my body was satisfied. I was completely and utterly in love with him. Sex in the shower was a first for me. I felt the heat flare over my cheeks as it played over in my mind. I don't know where I got the confidence from to shower with him. The closeness of our bodies, our skin touching, the gentle touch of his hand. A shiver rocked its way through my body as I let out a shaky breath. Our sex was always good but that sex, that s*x was different. "Babe?".

"Huh?". I blinked a few times.

"Do you want to go out for dinner with Alanna and Carter?".

"Did she talk to him?". By the way Alanna was talking Carter wasn't in the best of moods. I couldn't see this dinner being his idea. Unless they had talked, and everything was fine.

"No idea". He shrugged. "But it's none of our business. What should I reply?".

"We'll go".

..

You could cut the atmosphere with a knife, and I was starting to feel a little uncomfortable. Carter wasn't here. He was here physically but his head was elsewhere.

He was giving nothing away and trying to get a conversation out of him was like trying to get blood from a stone. This wasn't like him at all. Alanna's mood was no better, and I was starting to wonder why they invited us here in the first place. I glanced at Jake; he was staring right at me. I made a face. I didn't know how to spark a conversation and it was awkward as hell.

"You on patrol tonight?". Jake asked.

Carter gave a simple nod.

My eyes landed on Alanna. She looked on the verge of tears. I wasn't sure if she had talked to him about how she was feeling or not. I felt horrible I didn't like to see anyone upset and my emotions were bad enough right now.

The waiter came back with our drinks and took our food order. I wasn't sure how much longer I could take the awkwardness around the table.

"Take the night off Carter. I'll get someone else to take your shift". Jake spoke.

"Nah man it's cool". Carter took a sip of his beer his eyes landing on mine. "My mom's heading up she should be here tomorrow".

Aunt Claire was coming to visit again?

"Why?". I frowned.

He was going home there was no reason for her to come back here. Well, she could be coming to see gran.

He shrugged.

"Does she know gran doesn't live here anymore?".
