The Alpha Chose Me

Scrunching the note she left in my hand I placed my hand over my heart. It was beating so fast. She just up and left without a care in the world. No explanation, no nothing. How could she just leave?

Pulling open the fridge door I took the opened bottle of wine out and poured a glass. That's how Jake found me. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on NovelDrama.Org.

"She's gone". I took a sip of the wine. "Just up and hightailed it out of here". A laugh fell from my lips.

"Babe slow down with that". He took the glass from my hand after I finished what was in it.

So I reached for the bottle. "Leah"...

"What?". I brought the bottle to my lips taking a large drink. "Why are you here, wait let me guess. You felt my feelings?". I regretted saying it as soon as the words left my mouth. This wasn't his fault.

He took the bottle from my hands pouring the remains down the sink. "That won't help this situation". He pulled out the seat next to me and sat down.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

"You're right". I sighed. "Nothing will help this situation. How could she just leave and not tell me?".

Reaching over he placed his hand on top of mine. "Have you tried calling her?". He asked.

"She left this". I slid the note to him. "A pathetic I'm sorry". I laughed.

"I'm sorry baby".

I shrugged. "It's not your fault everything's a mess. What I don't get is why she would just up and leave".

"I wish I had the answers baby I really do".

"Can we just go home?". I got to my feet. I didn't want to be here anymore.

...

Once again I couldn't sleep. Jake was passed out beside me. The light snores coming from him told me he was out cold.

Pushing the covers off I slipped out of bed and headed downstairs. I was shattered but my mind wouldn't shut off. I couldn't shift the sadness I felt and yet I hadn't shed a tear.

Pulling my shoes on I grabbed my jacket and put it on. I don't know why but I felt the need to go over to her house. I couldn't settle until I went through with it.

Being as quiet as I could I closed the front door behind me. I pulled my jacket tight across my body and hurried off down the street.

Reaching her house I don't know how long I stood there staring at it. What would happen to it now she wasn't here? Or did she have a plan for that?

Sighing I jumped when I heard his voice.

"Bear?".

Carter and Rocco approached me.

"Night time patrol?". I asked.

"What the hell are you doing out at this time?". Carter asked.

I shrugged because I wasn't sure why I was here. I didn't want to go inside. "I take it you heard the news?". I asked.

"I'm sorry Leah. I know how close you and gran were".

That's it, that's all he had to say?

"We were more than close". I whispered.

"Does Jake know you're out?". Rocco asked.

"Yes Rocco, Jake knows I'm out here alone at". I glanced at my phone. "2 o'clock in the morning". I rolled my eyes.

"Sarcasm". He bumped my shoulder with his.

"Stupid question if you ask me".

"Let us walk you home before we get back to our patrol". Carter placed his hand on my shoulder. "You know he'll think the worst if he wakes up and you're not there".

He was right and dealing with a pissed off Alpha is something I'd rather avoid. "I can't wrap my head around this Carter. I don't understand it".

"I know Bear. Let's get you home before the weather turns".

We walked in silence but I could tell both of them were still very much alert. Every little noise had them looking around us. Reaching my house I smiled at them both. "Thanks".

"Try and get some sleep". He kissed the top of my head. "I'll come by and see you later on today".

I remember falling asleep on the couch so when I woke up in bed I sat up quick. I couldn't remember how I got here. Jake's side of the bed empty I reached for my phone so I could check the time. It was still early.

Hearing the toilet flush my eyes darted towards the en-suite. I don't know why I was expecting him not to be here. Laying back down I rolled onto my side pulling the covers up and around my neck. "It's still early baby. Please try and go back to sleep". Feeling him get back into bed I turned so I was facing him.

"I'm exhausted". I whispered.

"Come here".

Laying my head against his chest I listened to the steady pace of his heartbeat. This was my comfort zone, my comfort blanket. Regardless of how I was feeling he always made it better. "Rough few days for you baby".

He wasn't wrong there. My dad showing up and now having to process that my gran had left town. I tried my hardest not to think about the reasons as to why she left.

"I think I'm the reason she left".

"We don't know that Leah and until we find out if she's left for good try not jump to conclusions".

"She's left for good. She wouldn't have left the note if she wasn't". I lifted my head from his chest. "I'm going to get up. I can't sleep".

"Babe it's 4am. If you can't sleep at least stay in bed".
