The Alpha Chose Me

I knew instantly that the person messaging him was Jessica. The number wasn't saved, and he had never messaged back but the context of the messages was obvious.

She still believed there was a chance with them.

Begging him to let her back into the pack so her and her family could return home. Embarrassing herself by sending dirty messages. I wasn't angry with him but again it was something he hadn't told me. Imagine that was me?

I quickly put his phone back as I caught sight of him leaving the store. How long had she been messaging him?

"Two big tubs of ice-cream and two bottles of flavoured water". He placed the bag in the back seat before getting in.

"Okay". I turned my head away from him and stared out the window. I wonder what else he hadn't told me or was keeping from me.

This was how fights started. Why couldn't he just be honest instead of hiding it from me? I would eventually find out anyway.

The car ride home was quiet. I was having an argument with myself on whether I should mention it or keep it to myself. If I brought it up, then that would start a whole new argument because I went through his phone. "Babe you, okay?".

"Yeah, just tired".

"Close your eyes baby. I'll wake you when we're home".

I closed my eyes. Still his phone went off, but I said nothing. I was too tired for an argument tonight.

I woke just as he was pulling into the driveway. I wasn't in the mood for ice-cream anymore. I just wanted to climb into bed and go to sleep but we needed to talk.

I still wasn't angry with him but the more I left it the more I thought about it. I was making myself anxious, overthinking things that hadn't happened.

"Good little power nap?". He smiled.

"We need to talk".

If I didn't mention it to him now and left it to brew, then I knew it would only be a matter of time before I lost it.

"Yeah, babe we do".

Huh?

I turned my head so I could look at him.

"You want to talk about Jessica, right?".

"Why is she messaging you?". I asked.

"So, you looked through my phone".

"It wouldn't stop vibrating when you were in the store, so I answered it. I saw the messages she sent you".

"I didn't message her back". He spoke.

"Why does she think she still has a chance with you?".

"I'll tell you everything Leah but once we're inside".

I said nothing in response. My stomach felt unsettled, I felt uneasy because I had no idea what the truth was. Was there still a chance for them? I frowned. I was his mate not her and I wasn't going anywhere.

"Stop". He sighed as he reached over and took my hand. "You're overthinking something you know nothing about. This stems from years ago Leah but I'll explain it all".

I tried my hardest not to react or say anything out of turn. So, I chewed the inside of my cheek and turned my head away from him.

Maybe finally the whole Jessica situation would be explained.
