My Hot Alpha

Chpater 196 "Think you need to sort something's out". He cut the engine.

"No I don't". I crossed my arms over my chest.

"She really wants to see you".

"She seenlast night".

"Leah". He sighed.

"Fine". I unbuckled my seatbelt and got out. "But I'll do it by myself. You don't need to be here".

"Yes I do". He moved so fast his arm wrapping around my waist. "I need to be here babe".

The front door opened. My gran and George standing staring at me. Pushing Jake's arm off I took a step away from him. "What's going on?".

"Cinside honey. We need to talk".

So I did. I went inside and listened to what she had to say.

A laugh fell from my lips as I got to my feet. I had been sitting next to Jake his hand holding mine the whole time.

I couldn't stop laughing. Maybe nerves I don't know.

"So you're trying to tellI'm a werewolf?". Another laugh fell from my lips. "Don't be ridiculous". "She's not kidding Leah". Jake followed my movement and got to his feet but I kept my distance.

"That's not possible". I whispered. I wasn't a wolf, I couldn't be.

"I wasn't sure at first babe but your scent-...".

"Is human". I cut him off. "I think I would know if I had a fluffy tail and fangs". My heart was racing, the possibility of being a werewolf frightening. "Leah, sweetheart, your dad-...".

"No". I frowned. I had never met my dad and my gran refused to talk about him. "This, I-... this isn't real it can't be".

"Please cand sit down". My gran begged.

"So this is what you were talking about last night with Carter and Alanna?". I turned to Jake. "How long have you known?". "Not long". I didn't miss the look he gave my gran.

"Okay". I pulled my bottom lip between my teeth. "So my dads a werewolf?".

"Your dad doesn't matter Leah. This is about you, you need to believe and accept that you are part wolf".

"I-I need sair". Grabbing my bag I headed for the front door Jake hot on my heels.

"Babe-.....

"Just give5 minutes please. I'm okay I promise". It was a lot to process and I still didn't believe it but this was happening.

I was a werewolf. I had so many questions and yet all I wanted was to be alone.

"5 minutes and then I'm coming back out to get you". He kissed the top of my head before leavingon my own.

Without thinking I got in my car and took off down the street. I needed to be alone, I needed tto let this sink in.

I was eighteen and never once had I felt different. Never once had I felt this other part of me. How was I just finding out about this? Why had my gran kept this from me? What was she protectingfrom? I knew one thing and it was I couldn't run from it. Sighing I turned my car around and headed back home.

I needed answers.

I had to understand why.

He was stood outside his phone to his ear, his face like thunder. Parking in the drive I awaited the blow I was about to receive. "Can't just run away from it".

"I wasn't running". Closing the door behindI stopped in front of him. "Well I was but I cback. How could I not know about this?". "You didn't accept your wolf which is why the shift hasn't happened yet".

"How could I accept something I knew nothing about?". I frowned.

"Hey". He whispered grabbing my hands in his. "Your wolf is still in there. We just have to bring her out". "Why didn't she tell me?".

"I don't know babe. You'll need to talk to her".

"I've never met my dad not once and now I have all these questions. How could she not have letmeet him?". "Hey". He pulledcloser. "Everything is going to be okay. Do you want to go back inside?".

No, no I didn't.

"Can you taketo your house?". I had heard enough for one night. I needed tto process everything I had learned.

I had nothing to say. My head bursting with all this new information. We were sitting in his living room the tv on mute. "Baby?".

"Hm?". I turned to look at him.

"Talk to me". He pleaded.

"I-.. I have nothing to say". I couldn't process it. The thought alone madesecond guess my whole life, my whole up bringing. "But we're okay right?". "We're okay". It wasn't his fault, he didn't know and right now he was all I had. He was the only one I trusted. "Can I have stea?".

"You hungry?". He got to his feet heading towards the kitchen. "Could order in?".

Food was the last thing on my mind. I was too anxious to eat. The thought alone making my stomach churn.

"Just tea and then I have to study for a bit". My English exam was om tomorrow and it was one 1 wanted to grade high on. I wanted to rub Mr Gallaghers nose in it. "You needto get anything from your house?".

"No they're already in my bag". I took the mug from him. "Thank you".

"I have to nip out for a bit. You be okay until I cback?". He asked.

"This have to do with the scent Rocco found?". I was still annoyed at the Jessica part.

"It does. A few of us are going to track the woods. I can call Alanna to cover and sit with you if you want?".

"No I'll be okay on my own". I was surprised Alanna wasn't going with them.

"I won't be long". He kissed the top of my head before leavingalone.

I didn't study, didn't even take a book out my bag. I took my tea and headed straight for Kis room. Today NOV felt like it was never ending and all I wanted was to curl up in his bed and be on my own.
