The Alpha Chose Me

Switching off my alarm I sat up. I had already decided I wasn't going into school today. My hand was throbbing and I felt sick. Hearing my phone ping from under my pillow I remember last night. I had sent him a message. 'What for princess?' 'Coffee??'

I could hear my gran coming up the stairs. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on . Visit to read the complete chapters for free. I could only imagine what she was going to say when I told her I wasn't going in today. She didn't like me missing out on anything that could effect my education.

"Leah honey are you awake?". She asked knocking slighting on my door.

"Gran you don't need to knock". I sighed.

"I brought coffee". She grinned taking a seat on the edge of my bed. "You feeling any better?". Taking my coffee from her I inhaled deeply.

Fresh coffee in the morning was gold.

"My hands throbbing and I feel sick". I wasn't sure if she was going to believe me or not.

"Leah". She was giving me the look. The look of all looks that told me I better get my ass into gear and get moving.

"Can I please just take today off and I'll go back tomorrow?".

"I don't want you to miss any school work honey. It's bad enough you can't write anything down but at least if you're there you can listen". She sighed.

"Please gran". I begged. "What if I ask Alanna to pick up my work, then I'm not missing anything?".

"Okay fine but you're back tomorrow. I'll go phone the school and let them know. Get yourself ready and come down for breakfast".

Lifting my phone I sent Alanna a text. Hopefully she would be in school today but if she wasn't I could always ask Ryan.

'Hey could you pick up some work for me today? Not going in not really feeling it'

Pushing my covers off I went about getting showered and ready.

...

"Pancakes Leah?".

Pouring some coffee into my cup I took seat at the kitchen island. I hadn't heard back from Jake yet and my message was still set on delivered so he hadn't even read it yet. "Leah honey, pancakes?". She asked again.

"Sorry just one please". I wasn't feeling hungry, wasn't really in the mood for anything.

"Are you okay?". She frowned. "I'm worried about you sweetheart. After last night I'm worried I made the wrong decision".

I didn't want her to worry about me. It may not feel like home just now but it will. She sacrificed so much for me to have the best life.

"I'm okay I promise. Are they coming to fit the rest of the kitchen today?". I asked. "I really like the way it's coming along".

"No honey I asked them to leave today because you're not feeling good. They'll come back tomorrow and hopefully it'll be finished by Friday. Is Alanna going to bring some work home for you?". "I've asked her but she hasn't messaged me back but I'm sure she will. Are you going out today?". I asked as she passed me a plate.

Pancakes with Nutella and strawberries. I used to love eating this out on our porch back home. Looking out into the ocean with the sun beating down.

"I'm going to pick up some seeds for the garden and then I've got my book club at 1 but I won't be out all day. What do you fancy for tea tonight?". "I'm easy you decide". I smiled just as my phone pinged.

'Yes of course I will! I'll drop it of when I get home. Are you okay? And btw did you say something to Jake?'

"Pizza?".
