My Hot Alpha

When I used to get upset my gran would be the one I would talk to and then when she left, I turned to Alanna. Now I had no one. Letting that sink in more tears fell from my eyes. Charlotte was lovely, great and very understanding but it wasn't the same and there were some things I couldn't talk to her about. It wouldn't feel right ranting to her about her son. But this wasn't about Jake.

"Here sweetheart". She gave me my tea and placed a box of tissues next to me. "It's okay to cry Leah". Again, she placed her hand on top of mine. "We all do it".

"The last few days have been tough". I brought the cup to my lips while taking a sip. "I thought Jake and I needed a few days apart, so I planned to go visit my dad and maybe meet the rest of my family". "Did something happen to make you change your mind?".

"I didn't change my mind. He said now wasn't a suitable time. What does that even mean?".

"Did you ask him why?".

"I didn't message him back. Honestly, I think he's changed his mind about wanting to be in my life".

"I'm sure that's not true. If you want my advice, I'd call him. You won't know the truth until you ask".

I wasn't going to do that. I would wait until he reaches out and if he doesn't then I'll know for sure.

"Can I ask how things are with you and Jake?".

"Jake's difficult at times but he's nothing I can't handle".

"The moon goddess sure made the right choice for my son when she picked you as his mate. You're a strong woman Leah and I bet an even stronger she wolf".

"I sometimes wonder if Jake would prefer if I was full human".

"He's protective".

"Overbearing at times". I sighed. "And I know it comes from a good place but sometimes it's too much".

"That's the Alpha in him".

I had lost count of how many times I had heard that one.

"I'm no use to this pack if he doesn't let me become who I'm meant to be. I need to connect with my wolf, and he needs to let it happen. Regardless of the outcome this is what's best for me, for us". "Then connect with your wolf. Go to the training ground and shift. The only way you can become one with your wolf is to let her take full control".

I wasn't expecting her to say that.

"I don't know how to and the only thing that seems to trigger her is anger".

"Then get angry". She grinned. "Trust that she'll give you back control and if she doesn't then I'm sure Jake will be able to break her down".

"Break her down?". I frowned.

"Submit sweetheart he'll make her submit but if your wolf is anything like you". A laugh fell from her lips. "Don't make it so serious. Get Jake to take you to the training ground and have fun with it". Right, fun.

"If you make it fun, I'm sure you'll get some fun at the end of it". She winked.

My cheeks grew red when I realised what she meant.

"Enjoy the chase and trust me when I say this. Let him take the lead".

Hm.

"I'll be back in a minute Leah help yourself to more tea".

Have fun with it. I could do that right?

I didn't hear him come in. I was pouring myself more tea when his arms circled my waist. "If we leave now, we'll be at the cabin for lunch time". He brushed his lips against the side of my neck causing a shiver to rock through my body. "I have a better idea". I turned in his embrace slipping my hands up his chest and looping them around his neck. "Take me to the training ground".

"The training ground?". His eyebrows furrowed. "Why?".

He knew why and once again he was going back on his word. A sigh fell from my lips as I let my arms fall. "Never mind let's just go".

"Hey". His arms tightened around my waist. "If that's what you want then let's go. I promised I would help, and I will".
