Chapter 150
I had never been to this part of town before. Alanna drove so I had no idea how we were going to get home. I already didn't like it. I felt out of place from the minute we walked through the door. "I've been here loads it's fine". We took a seat in one of the booths. I could feel the stares, not that they were trying to hide it.
"You shouldn't be here Alanna and neither should you". His eyes locked with mine. My mouth became dry. I looked away. What was this place?
"Free country Derek. Now are you going to get us some drinks?".
"You brought the Alphas mate here". He hissed.
"It's fine". She sighed.
Was I missing something?
"I swear to fuck Alanna you're going to get me slaughtered". He stormed off.
"He's overreacting, it's fine honestly".
"What is this place?".
"You're safe I promise. I'm going to get us a drink". As she slipped out the booth I pulled out my phone. I didn't ask her if I was safe.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Jake was obviously still busy as he hadn't tried to contact me yet. Probably still thinks I'm at home.
"You're safe here Leah". The guy from before sat a coke in front of me. "She alright?". He nodded towards Alanna. She was stood at the jukebox.
"So you're a werewolf too?". I ignored his question by asking my own. Were they part of our pack?
"I am". He grinned. "Let's just say we're part of your pack without being in your pack".
I frowned. What did that mean?
"We take orders from afar, we stay out the way unless we're called for".
"Well that's a bit shit. How's that fair?". Surely everyone should be involved the right way. Do they even get invited to pack meetings? Sounded to me like they were outsiders.
"It's how we prefer it. Your pack is still ours and we protect what is ours".
"I hope you aren't filling her head with rubbish Derek and why are you drinking coke?". She frowned. "Get her a real drink".
"No it's fine". I moved the coke before she could touch it. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on . Visit to read the complete chapters for free. I wasn't in the mood to drink. I would probably need to drive us home even with a broken hand.
"Then why did you come out?". She took a sip of her beer.
"What happened with you and Carter?".
"Nothing we're fine I just wanted a drink. We haven't been out in ages and I thought with everything going on we could use it".
She wasn't wrong, I didn't believe her but I wasn't going to push. It was none of my business. "I'm going to text Jake".
"Don't do that". She winced. "He'll kill me because I brought you here".
"But these people are in our pack so why would he have an issue with it?".
"That's true but still he won't like it".
"There isn't much I do that Jake likes but I'm in no danger and he was too busy to talk to me".
"Oh I know". She took another drink. "The whole running water doesn't work".
I laughed. "I couldn't be bothered coming out but then he hung up on me and the first thing that came to mind was pissing him off".
"Oh he'll be pissed alright. I'll be on early runs for at least a year".
"You won't I'll make sure of it". Taking a sip of my coke my phone vibrated. "Hm". I rolled my eyes showing her the message.
'For your sake you better not be drunk! I'll be there soon'
"Is he always going to be like that?". I get that he worried but he wasn't getting to make every decision for me. I was allowed to go out without asking him for permission.
"It'll ease once you mate. He's just protective, scared something happens and he loses you".
"How does he even know we're here?".
"Because one of them would have grassed". She nodded towards the guys sitting in the corner. "It would be worse for them if they didn't".
"I think I want a beer".
"May as well". She shrugged.
A beer turned into a few. A shot turned into multiple. Jake wasn't here yet and me and Alanna got to talking. Her and Carter really were fine. She also told me if she had to move away she would. Said she wouldn't be able to live without him. We talked a lot about Jake and I mean a lot. The mating, our bond, the ceremony. I told her how I really felt about it all. Kids, marriage, me moving in with him. We talked about everything.
She knew how much I was slowly falling in love with him. It was still all new and crazy seeing as it was still so fresh but in her world now my world it was normal.
She herself was surprised Jake had lasted as long. Couldn't believe we had both managed it. It wasn't easy. I had never been so attracted to someone in all of my eighteen years of living. The urges, the burning desire, the need.
"I actually quite like it here. No one bothers you". We had two shots left sitting on the table. I passed one to her. "I'm not drunk but I do feel a little tipsy. A good tipsy though". She laughed taking the shot with me. "You're cheeks are scarlet. I bet the minute we step outside it'll hit you".
