The Alpha Chose Me

I had been in bed for almost an hour staring at the same four walls. I hated being here alone, could never really sleep when I knew he wasn't home. What if something had happened to him?

Pushing the covers off I grabbed my phone a groan falling from my lips when I saw what time it was. How could he still be training at this time? Surely not, right? Or maybe he was doing the night patrol instead of Alanna? He still could have called though.

I made my way downstairs stopping when I noticed the kitchen light was on. I could have sworn I turned everything off. Taking a few more steps a sigh fell from my lips when I spotted him.

Sat at the kitchen table eating left over pizza.

"Where have you been its almost 2am". I spoke walking further into the kitchen.

"F*****g Alanna". He muttered. "She refused to do patrol, and I wasn't going to let Rocco do it on his own".

"I thought as much but you could have called me". I sat opposite him. "You've been gone all night".

"I'm sorry babe it's just well she's f****d me off. Where does she get off refusing anything? She's just like everyone else and she has to take her turn. I'm going to see my dad tomorrow; she's not getting away with this". "Why do you put her on them when you know she hates it?". I asked.

"She doesn't get special treatment Leah".

"I don't think going to your dad is the answer. Talk to her and I mean talk don't shout at her. I don't think she's having the best time right now". "She's not?". He frowned. "What's going on?".

I shrugged. "But maybe when you talk to her do it as her brother and not her future Alpha".

"She's a big girl Leah and I don't think me talking to her is going to fix whatever she's got going on. Have you talked to Carter?”. He asked.

"I did but I think there's more to it. She didn't want to talk to me but maybe she'll talk to you".

"Fine". He yawned. "Now are we going to bed, I'm done it".

I was first up. Jake was still snoring his head off next to me. I showered, changed into my running gear and set off down the stairs. I poured myself a cup of coffee that I brewed whilst in the shower. Today was the start of trying to get some routine in my life. An early rise, a morning run. Hopefully, I would receive a letter from college today and hopefully it would be an acceptance letter.

I needed something else in my life. I needed something to take up my time. I wanted my degree in English Literature and if I was good enough for Yale then I was good enough for the college here. Mr. Gallagher couldn't hold a grudge forever, right?

Sighing I poured what was left of my coffee down the sink and washed out my cup. I needed to stay out of my own head for a bit. I connected my Air Pods to my phone and left out the back door.

Being out on patrol the other night gave me a new route to take and it meant I could have a good look around in case anything was off.

So, I knew I wasn't alone in the middle of the forest which was always a good thing. I started off with a slow jog but before I knew it, I was sprinting my way through the forest.

The weather wasn't awful, but it was damp and wet making me cautious of where I was stepping. My focus being on making sure I didn't fall a scream fell from my lips when my eyes landed on Lana

"Jesus f**k Lana". I sighed coming to a stop. "Are you trying to give me a heart attack?".

"You're out and about early this morning".

"Yeah". I nodded. "Why are you out here?".

"Taking a walk". She shrugged.

I don't know why but something felt off. Why was she wandering around the forest when it was barely 7 o'clock.

"Is everything okay?". I asked.

"Remember when Tommy asked you out?". She asked disregarding my question.

I frowned. Why was she asking that? More so why was she bringing up Tommy? He was irrelevant in every way. "What?".

"Tommy". She laughed. "Remember him?".

"Are you okay?".

"Oh, remember when he used to make you feel bad for going out and remember when he made you isolate from everyone around you".

"Lana what the hell?".

"What?". She smirked. "Don't you like reminiscing about the old times?".

"Why are you being such a bitch?". I asked.

"Because I need you to hate me because if you hate me then I won't feel as bad for what I've done".

She had lost me. I had no idea what she was talking about. We had barely seen each other these past few weeks.

And then I heard it. It was faint but I heard the snap of a branch. I was quick to turn but not quick enough. Something dark was placed over my head, pain shot through my arm and the last thing I heard was Lana's voice. "He'll kill you, all of you. Now tell me where Pete is".

Everything turned dark after that.
