The Alpha Chose Me

Small talk.

That's what the rest of the journey consisted of.

I wasn't pissed with him, but I was starting to think this was more important to me than it was him. This was massive to me, huge even. It was never going to be just s*x between us. Surely, he didn't think it was just s*x?

We were giving ourselves to each other for eternity. We were destined to be together forever.

Okay I had to stop. I was starting to freak myself out a little.

Whatever happened to Leah that didn't need no man?

I ran a hand down my face. I swear if someone could read my thoughts, they'd have a field day.

"You're overthinking again".

I still hated that he could read me so well.

"That's just my brain". Okay what the hell?

A chuckle fell from his lips. "Babe, you need to chill". He placed his hand on my knee. "We're almost there".

"This isn't just s*x for you right?".This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"You're joking right?". He removed his hand placing both on the steering wheel. I saw the twitch, the tightening of his grip.

Looks like the only person going to ruin this day was me.

Me and my big mouth.

"It's never just been about sex Leah".

I already knew that, and I had no idea why I was questioning it. Could it be because the full moon was approaching?

Or was I just trying to use that as an excuse?

"I know, look I'm sorry".

"Why would you think that?". He asked.

I shrugged.

"Gotta give me something better than a shrug princess".

"I'm trying so hard not to let anyone, or anything ruin this, but it looks like I'm doing a grand job of it myself". I was putting so much pressure on myself to make it perfect, but it didn't have to be perfect and that's what I had to remember. Jake and I were together and that's all that mattered.

He stretched his arm over and took my hand in his. "No one is going to ruin anything. Stop overthinking shit that doesn't matter. It's you and me". He brushed his lips against my knuckles. "No one else matters". He was right. No one else mattered.

Tonight we were in our own little bubble.

..

We arrived.

It was like our own little slice of heaven for one night.

I undid my seat belt and got out of the car. The cabin was set in a beautiful location. Open forest, a nearby lake and no one in sight for miles.

It was perfect.

Peaceful.

"I forgot how beautiful it was here". I took a deep breath. "So fresh".

"It's a place we can always come to". He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer. "It's perfect for some head space and time away from everyone".

His touch alone started the butterflies in my stomach. I had waited so long for this night to come and now it was here. I was finally going to be a mated she-wolf. "What are you smiling at princess?".

Was I?

"I'm happy". I placed my hand on top of his.

"Me too". He whispered before kissing the top of my head.

"I'm excited". I turned my head to look at him.

"Not nervous?". He smirked.

"Little bit". I couldn't stop smiling, my cheeks becoming sore.

At this moment I knew I was exactly where I was supposed to be. I was happy and content. Taking my hand in his he led me inside. The first thing I did was check the fridge causing him to laugh. What? A girl needs to eat.

It was full. Meat, side dishes, the lot. "Your mom?". I asked.

"She wanted to make sure we didn't go hungry". He smirked.

"You could feed an army". I closed the fridge door. "I'm going to get the suitcases". As I went to walk past, he grabbed a hold of my hand and pulled me to him.

"Your heart is beating so fast".

"Is not". I was flush against him.
