My Hot Alpha

"Why wouldn't you get accepted?". He frowned.

"Because not everybody does".

"They'd be idiots not to give you a place. When do you think you'll hear from them?".

"I don't know Jake". A sigh fell from my lips. "What time is dinner tonight?".

"We don't have to go".

"Why wouldn't we go?".

"Did something happen when you were out?".

"I'm sorry". I was pissed off about college and I was taking it out on him. "Do you remember my old teacher?". There was no point in keeping it from him and if he didn't take it well then, I'd deal with it. "What teacher?". His eyes darkened.

He knew exactly who I was talking about.

"My old English teacher is now the dean at the college. I'm not sure I'll get accepted with him in charge".

"He's the one that helped you get into Yale, isn't he?".

I nodded.

"So why wouldn't he let you into the college?". He frowned.

"I'm not saying he wouldn't let me in its just". I paused. I didn't need for him to lose his head over this which I knew he would. "I think he's holding a grudge because I turned Yale down".

"He said that?". His hands balled into fists by his side. “He f*****g said that to you?".

"Not in so many words". I chewed the inside of my cheek. "Look it's not a big deal and I don't know anything yet so please". I got to my feet quickly and chased after him as he stormed into the back yard. “Jake please don't do anything stupid". I called after him as the back gate slammed shut.

Jack was still here.

"Please go with him". I sighed.

No questions asked Jack high tailed it after him.

..

I was in two minds on whether to call him or not. I didn't need him getting into trouble over this. He couldn't put hands and think it was okay. He was angry wasn't thinking straight and if he did find Mr. Gallagher, I was afraid of what he might do to him.

I couldn't sit still. Every noise of a car I was at the window looking out. He wouldn't be stupid enough to do anything right?

Running a hand down my face a sigh fell from my lips when I heard the front door open and close. I was on my feet at once.

"I didn't do anything". He entered the living room collapsing into the couch. "I wanted to, but I realised if I did it was only going to make things worse for you".

Wait, what?

Who was this and where had my overprotective hot-headed boyfriend gone?

"I swear to you Leah if he stops you from getting into college, I'll break his neck. They'll never find his body; they'll never know where to look".

Oh, there he was.

I swallowed the lump in my throat. It always made me feel uneasy when he spoke like this. I guess deep down I really didn't know what he was capable of. Sitting next to him I pulled my legs up and rested them over his.

"If I don't get accepted then I'll do online courses like I planned. No one needs to get hurt over this. I'm probably overreacting, and I'll receive my letter soon".

A grunt was his response, but he handled it better than I thought he would. We lay on the couch for a few hours watching tv and before I knew it, it was time to get ready and head over to his parents for dinner.

"I'm taking you to the cabin tomorrow". He walked into the bedroom from the bathroom. "We need to get out of here for a bit".

"I invited Carter over for coffee and he didn't show".

"Did

I you hear a word I just said?".

"Yeah, the cabin but why didn't he show?".

"I don't know babe maybe he forgot. You can ask him tonight. Go finish getting ready and I'll meet you downstairs". He kissed the top of my head before leaving the room.

All I had to do was put my shoes on and find my coat and I was good to go. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited about a Charlotte dinner.
