The Alpha Chose Me

Once I heard the door close, I muffled the sob that fell from my lips. I hated that I was so upset. I wanted to be angry, I wanted to be angry with him but instead I was crying real tears.

Makeup ruined I went into the bathroom to clean up my face. When I returned to the bedroom my gown was hanging on the back of the door. Jake was nowhere to be scene.

I didn't want to leave the house. I didn't want to celebrate anymore. My mood was completely deflated, I wasn't prepared to fake smile all day and pretend everything was fine.

But I wouldn't ruin today for everyone else.

I decided against the crocs and slipped my feet into my black stiletto heels. I slipped my gown on and headed downstairs. I found him in the kitchen.

“Wow baby you look stunning”. He spoke.

I had to keep telling myself that I wasn't going to ruin today. But every time he spoke, I wanted to throttle him. We didn't keep secrets from each other.

“Babe, are you okay?” He asked.

“Fine”. I chewed the inside of my cheek.

“should we head over to my mom's?”.

“sure”. I grabbed my purse and put my phone and keys inside. The more I tried to keep my cool the angrier I felt myself becoming. I wanted to know why he kept this from me.

I fake smiled, I laughed, I stood for pictures but if there was anyone that could see right through me and confront me about it, it was Rylee. But still I said nothing and continued to smile away my feelings. Alanna avoided me like the plague, but I didn't blame her.

“Bear”. Carter leaned in placing a kiss on my cheek. “You excited?”,

“Ecstatic”. I had never wanted a glass of wine as much as I did right now. Or a shot just something to take the edge off. “You, okay?".

“Yeah, sorry”. I sighed.

I wanted to leave and get this over and done with. Al this waiting around was making my feet hurt. I should have stuck with wearing my crocs.

“You sure?”.

I shrugged.

“Do you want to talk about it?".

I shook my head and tried my hardest to keep the smile on my face. I could already feel the tears in my eyes. Damn pregnancy hormones.

“Wanna get out of here?" He asked.

I nodded before slipping my hand into his.

I would suffer the wrath of Jake later but right now I needed to be away from it all.
