My Hot Alpha

I hate when he does that. I hate when he sneaks in, and I don't ever notice. He probably heard that full conversation as well.

I wanted it to be mandatory for me because I wanted to know what goes on. I want to be involved in as much as I could. I didn't want to be cooped up in the house all the time staring at the same four walls.

I wasn't a housewife, and I wasn't about to become one.

"I want to come to the one at the end of this month".

I turned in my seat so I could face him. "I have every right to be there just like everyone else".

"Okay". He smiled. "Ready to go?".

"Okay?". I made a face. "Really?".

A laugh fell from his lips as he moved closer. "Yes, really. I think it'll be good for you to be involved within the pack more".

"And I want to do patrol runs". I wanted to pull my weight like everyone else.

"Then how about you and Alanna do one tomorrow night?".

"Really?".

"I'm on night patrol already?". She sighed. "I've only been back one day".

"Yes". I grinned. "We'll do it".

"Speak for yourself". She huffed. "But yes, I'll do it".

"You don't have a choice". He smirked. "But you, you do". He moved in closer again his breath fanning over my face. "Are you ready to go home?".

I nodded.

The car ride home was quiet. I was trying to work out if he was being serious or if he said what he said to be nice and not cause a scene.

"You're frowning. What's wrong?". He reached over placing his hand on my thigh.

"Just thinking".

"About?". He asked.

"Can I really come to the pack meeting?".

He nodded.

"And the night patrol with Alanna?".

Again, he nodded.

"Why the sudden change of heart?".

A laugh fell from his lips as he squeezed my thigh gently. "Because I've been shielding you away from everything when I should have been pushing you towards it".

"I'm not sure I follow". I frowned.

"You're a strong wolf Leah and it's time everyone knew it. I should never have stopped you from doing anything. I haven't been the best for you recently but that all changes from today".

"So, I'll get to be involved more?".

"Yeah, baby and that means with everything. No more shutting you out or keeping you in the dark. You'll be by my side every step or the way and with every decision that is made. The way it should have been from the start".

I felt the lump appear in the back of my throat. I have waited so long for him to say this and it's all I've ever wanted. For him to see that I could stand by his side as his Luna and run the pack equally.

"I love you". I whispered.
