My Hot Alpha

Chpater 145 "You're not wasting your tsitting withall day. George is here, now go and get srest. I already know you stayed here last night". "But I-...".

"I'm fine, the antibiotics are working. Now go home". Now I know where I got my stubbornness from.

"Fine but I'll be back later".

I was stood outside the hospital with my own coffee. Jake hadn't cback yet. Him and my uncle Zac were nowhere to be seen.

"How about we go get sbreakfast?". My aunt Claire asked.

"I should probably wait on Jake". I didn't need for us to have another argument because I left without him. "Zac will be chewing his ear off". She laughed. "And I'm sure he won't mind if I take you for breakfast". My stomach growled. I was running on coffee alone. I guess she was right. "Con I'll drive". She glanced at my hand. "A few more weeks and my cast will be off". We started walking towards her car and that's when I noticed Jake's wasn't there.

He had left? More to the point he had left and didn't tell me.

"Can I ask what happened?".

"I punched Jake in the face". Clipping my seatbelt in she started the car. I'm surprised she didn't already know. "Okay what?".

"Let's just say we had a disagreement". I chewed my bottom lip as she pulled out of the car park. "We're fine now though".

"Please be careful around him Leah. An Alpha wolf and he let you punch him".

"He didn't let me. Things got heated, we said things we shouldn't have and it happened". Jake would never hurt me. I knew that much. "And I don't have to be careful around him. I trust him". "Are you happy?". She asked.

"I think so". I wasn't not happy. This was beginning to feel like home. I had friends, I was dating. My life wasn't bad.

"Are you ready?". We pulled up outside the coffee shop, the car coming to a stop. "To becan Alpha's mate, a mother, a wife?".

Hold on a damn minute. That wasn't going to happen all at once. I was in no way ready for that. We had just started dating never mind becoming a mom.

"I've scared you haven't I?".

"What, no that's-.. we're taking things slow".

"The werewolf world is a little different from the norm. It all happens pretty fast Leah". I already knew that but it didn't mean we had to do things that way.

"We're doing pretty well with taking things slow actually. We haven't mated yet and it's already been a few weeks". That was a record in their world.

"Yes honey but the full moon is only weeks a way". 17 days but who was counting? "That doesn't mean anything". I brushed her comment off. We didn't have to be like everyone else. Getting married, having children. We could take this at our own pace. I didn't see why we had to rush. "He-.. he hasn't told you?". She frowned.

"Toldwhat?". There was a lot that Jake didn't telland not because he didn't want to it just wasn't relevant.

"No one has told you". It was like she was talking to herself rather than talking Ome.

"Toldwhat?". I asked again.

"When you mate there is a high chance you'll fall pregnant".

"I doubt that, I take my birth control pill. I have for the last 2 years". Walking into the coffee shop I picked a booth by the window.

"It doesn't work sweetheart". She whispered taking a seat on the opposite side. "When you mate for the first teverything heightens, the moon goddess is very powerful".

This moon goddess needed shot.

"I don't understand how the moon". I made a face. "Can getpregnant".

She laughed shaking her head. "A bond is being made. You are giving yourself to Jake, once you mate and he marks you, you'll understand better".

Great another thing forto worry about.

"It's magical". She smiled.

After placing our food order I couldn't help but think about what she said. I was beginning to understand everything better but sthings still blew my mind. Although I was taking the whole falling pregnant pretty well. "Are you okay?". "Just thinking". I smiled.

"Is there anything you want to ask me, anything you want to know?".

"We can't mate until the full moon rises because Jake is an Alpha so I'm guessing an Alpha's mate is the only one that can get pregnant at that time?".

"That's right". She smiled.

"Please don't tellI could get pregnant every twe have s*x?".

She laughed placing her hand on top of mine. "The first tis special, the Alpha is marking his mate, Jake is officially making you his. You won't get pregnant every tyou have sex just be careful around the full moon". She winked.

"So I just-... Wait". The penny dropped. "He needs a heir, he needs to keep the bloodline going. That's why it only applies to Alpha's doesn't it?". I couldn't believe I hadn't figured it out sooner. "To reproduce, the Alpha's first child takes the thrown. They will becAlpha when they are of age or when Jake steps down". How could I have been so dumb not to realise that.

"It's starting to make sense isn't it". The waitress placed our breakfast on the table along with two large coffees.

"Just givea shout if you need anything else". Wait I knew that voice. It wasn't until she walked away I realised who it was. Rocco's sister. "So why can't we just skip the full moon and mate the day after?". I asked.

"Because the bond won't work. It has to be done when the moon rises".

"That's sneaky if you ask me". It was like the moon goddess had setup to bare a child.

"It's a part of this lifestyle honey. When an Alpha's child is born a massive celebration happens. Packs from all over visit".

"A bit like the mating ceremony then?". Taking a sip of my coffee couldn't help but look for Rocco's sister. She had found a job fast. "You know that girl?". She asked.

"No". I shook my head.

"Shouldn't you know her considering she's a wolf?".

How did she know? "A trait you will pick up once you mate". She smirked. "Who is she?".

"One of the rogue wolfs". I whispered.

"I thought she smelled different". As she sipped her coffee I frowned, Why wasn't she worried? My phone started to vibrate on the table, Jake's nflashing on the screen. I was wondering how long it would take before he called.
