My Hot Alpha

Chpater 228 "What's on that pretty little mind of yours?".

"Just thinking". I moved closer so I could rest my head against his chest.

I loved how safe he madefeel.

Being with him felt right. It was like everything in my life didn't make sense until now. Don't getwrong we've had our share of ups and downs but that didn't matter. Nothing mattered anymore because I was where I was meant to be. Everything happened for a reason. We were meant to be.

As if the penny had finally dropped I knew now just how important a mate was. I knew I couldn't live my life without him in it. "Baby?".

I smiled. "I'm fine Jake. Everything is fine".

I don't know how long we lay there. Taking in the views, listening to the world go by, enjoying each others company.

My eyes were closed, my head snug against his chest, my hand placed over his heart.

"Can I ask you something?".

"Ask away princess".

"Why did you get so mad at Alanna?".

"You know why".

"Because she forced my wolf out?".

"The wolf inside you is powerful. Alanna forcing her out could have costyou".

Eh? I sat up placing my hands on his chest for support.

"Your wolf could have taken over and sometimes taking back control is hard. If I knew she was going to force her out I'd have never let her take you to the training ground". "So every tI shift I have to worry about my wolf taking over?".

"A shift should cnaturally, becoming one with your wolf should cnaturally. Alanna knew the risk and still carried it out. That's why I'm pissed".

"But I couldn't shift". I whispered.

"It would have happened. Remember baby one step at a time". He leaned forward placing a kiss on my lips. "We'll work on it together".

"Could I really get lost inside my wolf?". I asked.

"We all could Leah. It's all about control and how you manage the beast inside".

I swallowed the lump in my throat. I didn't like the sound of that. What if I couldn't, what if I was no good at this being a werewolf? I had so much to learn.

About myself, about my wolf.

"If she knew the risk why did she do it?".

"Because of the Alpha blood running through your veins".

Another thing I didn't understand.

"I thought for a werewolf to be Alpha they had to be a purebred?". My mom was human. Well unless she wasn't.

I squeezed my eyes shut tight. I was starting to give myself a headache with all the thoughts running through my mind.

Was there more secrets, more lies? "Your dad is a very powerful werewolf. Comes from a long line of werewolf royalties".

A laugh fell from my lips. "You're joking right?". What in the world was werewolf royalty? "His family, your family were the first of our kind, along with my own".

My whole existence had been a lie. I had no idea who I was or where I cfrom.

"Wow". I whispered. "How do you know all of this?".

"How about I take you for breakfast at my moms?".

"Like this?". I glanced at my pjs.

"You're perfect baby".

The drive to his parents house was quiet but comfortable. Nothing but the raplaying in the background. My mind wouldn't switch off. I couldn't concentrate on striking up a conversation and yet I had so many questions. Questions I knew only one person could answer. My dad.

Was it tto bite the bullet and meet with him? Or was I setting myself up for more lies and disappointment? A sigh fell from my lips as I rubbed a hand down my face. There was this whole other side tothat I knew nothing about. My gran had kept everything locked away and now it was tto face it. I had to face my dad alone.

"Baby?".

"Hm?".

"You know I've got you right?". Placing his hand on my knee I glanced at him.

It was tI realised I wasn't alone in this. I was never going to be alone ever. I had Jake, I had my friends. I had to stop the pity party in my head and face everything head on. What's the worst that could happen? "I think I want to meet my dad". I felt the nerves in my stomach at the thought of it. "I think it's time".

"We can do that". He smiled turning into our street. "Whenever your ready". As he pulled up outside his moms I frowned.

"I'm ready now". If I didn't do it now I'd have tto talk myself out of it. "I need to do this Jake".

"I know baby and you will. I'll get my dad to reach out and we can sort something".

"Okay". I followed him inside.

I always liked dropping by his parents house. They always madefeel welcome, they always madefeel like I was family.

"Hey girl". Rylee.

"You're still here?". I smiled.

"Have to see my sisters graduate". She winked.

She calledher sister.

I don't know why but I felt the tears well up in my eyes and the lump form in the back of my throat. They really did treatlike one of their own.

"Hey". She whispered placing her hand on my arm.

"I'm sorry I don't know what's going on with me". I quickly wiped my cheeks so no one else would notice. "Full moon kicks a*s Leah".

Ah, so instead of makinga horny mess this tround it was turninginto an emotional one.

Great.

"Want to grab a beer and sit out back?". She asked.

"It's 9 o'clock Rylee". Jake's voice reached my ears. He was always listening even when he wasn't in the En.

sroom. "It's 5 o'clock somewhere". She smirked.

"I'll settle for coffee and maybe we later could grab a beer later?". I liked Rylee and I guess she was like a big sister En in sway. "You wanna go out?". "Can't prom is tomorrow". And I wasn't interested in the slightest.

"That's tomorrow?".

"Yeah".

"Got your dress?". She asked passinga cup of coffee.

"I do". I still had to pick it up from my grans.

"How about I organise a little girls night. We can celebrate you girls finishing school". She grinned.

"I like the sound of that". Alanna appeared at the back door. "Hey girl". She gavea soft smile. "Hey".

"Can we talk?". She asked.

"Sure". I took my coffee withand followed her outside.

"We cool?". She asked.

"Always". I smiled.

"Thank god". She grinned. "Look I'm sorry for forcing your wolf out. I shouldn't have done that".

"It's okay". I wasn't pissed anymore. I think she got her fair share of pissed off people last night. "Have you spoke to him yet?". "We're good". "You're not going to challenge him again are you?". I asked.

"Not if I know what's good for me. He'll snaplike a twig". She laughed.

That wasn't funny.

"I'm kidding". She grinned. "So girls night. You in?".

A girls night is exactly what I needed.

"I'm in".
