The Alpha Chose Me by Missy Elliottxo

"I'm good". I smiled hitting play as he took the seat next to me. He was tense, focused on something else. His phone vibrating every few minutes. I couldn't concentrate. "Okay what's going on?". I sighed pausing the film.

"What do you mean?".

"Your phone keeps vibrating, you're tense as hell and I don't think you've looked at the tv once".

"Just pack stuff babe. Put the film back on". Placing his arm around my shoulders he pulledagainst his chest.

"What stuff?". I asked.

"Nothing for you to worry about".

Fair enough. If he didn't want to tellI wasn't going to push him. We were half way through the film and I couldn't stop myself. I said I wasn't going to push him into tellingbut I wanted him to know that I was here and he could tellwhen things weren't going good or when something was bothering him.

He wasn't himself. His body still tense but his phone had stopped.

"Jake?". Sitting up I paused the film. "What's wrong?".

"More wolfs are coming into my territory and we can't seem to catch them". He sighed rubbing a hand over his face.

"Are they a threat?". I asked.

"I don't know babe but I'm not taking any chances. I have a lot of enemies Leah".

He did? "I find that hard to believe". I smiled. He was one of the good ones I knew that much. "I'm next in line for Alpha that it's self brings trouble. I can be challenged for my title". "Challenged how?". I had a pretty good idea I knew what he meant but I had to be sure.

"Fight till death". As the words fell from his mouth my stomach flipped. "But it'll never cdown to that. I'm powerful baby, very fucking powerful". Grabbing my hand he squeezed gently. "Why are they here?". I asked. "No idea. We thought they might just be passing through but their scent is too strong for that".

"So what are you going to do?".

"Keep patrolling, keep watch. We'll catch them one way or another".

"Them, as in more than one?". I didn't like this. What if they found out about me? I couldn't protect myself from a werewolf.

"Rogue wolfs don't belong to packs but they do tend to run together".

"So how cthey don't belong to a pack?". I wanted to know more about this. His life, werewolf's, the mating bond. I wanted to know everything.

"Could be a number of reasons but-....". The front door to his house opened.

"Still no signs". Jack said as he walked further into the living room. "Pete has grabbed a few of the guys to take over the night watch".

"Has everyone checked in?". Jake asked getting to his feet and leading Jack to the kitchen area. I'm assuming there was stuff he didn't wantto hear.

Would he ever fully letin? I could hear the their hushed whispers. Obviously something more was going on or at least coming. He couldn't keep avoiding telling me. I was going to becapart of his life. Checking my phone I decided it was tI went home.

Switching the tv off I got to my feet and made my way towards the front door. He cout of nowhere his arm circling my waist. "You trying to sneak out on me?". The hair on my neck stood, a shiver going down my spine. My eyes closed as he placed a kiss on the side of my neck.

Everything felt heightened, my body sensitive to his touch. Breathing deeply I turned in his embrace my eyes opening. It was the first tI had seen his canine teeth extend in human form. Closing his eyes he breathed deeply, his grip on my waist tightening. "Fuck". He hissed.

When he opened his eyes they had returned to their normal color, his teeth no longer visible. The bond between us was growing everyday, becoming stronger.

"I feel it to". I whispered. It affected us both, he wasn't the only one suffering.

"Letwalk you home". I missed his touch as soon as he dropped his hands. I wasn't sure how this was going to work. I already experienced the pain of the bond and that was at the start.

How painful was it going to be the closer we got to the full moon. I could deal with feeling horny but I wasn't sure about my pain threshold.

Why did it hurt?

I didn't bother putting my shoes back on instead I carried them. The rain had stopped, the ground dry. HbW many days until the full moon?". We were walking hand and hand down the street. It was always so peaceful around here at night. "19 why?". "When will I start to feel-.." I stopped talking. I wasn't even sure what I was asking.

"Around 5 days before you'll start to feel different more so than what you're experiencing just now".

"And the pain?". I whispered. I wasn't sure I was ready for this. Was I even strong enough to get through it? "3 days before". Scratching the back off his head I knew he was uncomfortable talking about this. There was something he wasn't telling me. I could feel it.

"And after we mate it'll go away?". We stopped outside my house at the bottom of my drive.

"Don't worry about it just now babe". Wrapping his arms around my waist he pulledcloser i knew there was ver more, I knew deep inside he was keeping something from me. "You needto drop you off tomorrow?". "No I'll just car share with Alanna".

"Okay beautiful". Placing a kiss against my lips my eyes closed my DE Wrapping around his neck. I had never in my life experienced how kissing him madefeel. I belonged with him and too him. Every inch ofwas his.
