The Alpha Chose Me
Chapter 152

It wasn't like him to be this calm.

“Derek make sure she gets home safe”. He nodded towards Alanna as we headed for the exit. I wasn't convinced that he wasn't going to say anything. I didn't believe that he wasn't mad.

As he unlocked the truck I got in clipping my seatbelt into place.

“Baby I'm not mad”. He sighed as he started the engine.

“Okay”. I frowned. I didn’t disagree with him, well out loud I didn't disagree with him.

“You have a good night?” He asked pulling away from the bar and onto the road. It wasn't late but it was late enough for the roads to be quiet.

“How come they don't come around?” I had never seen any of them before.

“Later baby”. He placed his hand on my thigh giving it a little squeeze.

Why was he being so nice?

“Is something wrong?" I asked.

A hearty laugh fell from his lips causing me to frown. Why was he laughing?.

“Just because I'm being nice doesn't mean something is wrong. I'm a nice guy Leah".

“I just-.. it's. I'm not saying you're not I just-..". I couldn't finish my sentence without sounding harsh.

“You expected me to go off on one because you went out?”.

“Well yeah I whispered.

“I was a little pissed”. He smirked. “But not because you went out just because you didn't tell me".

“You didn't give me the chance. You were busy”.

“I'm sorry about that princess”.

“Anything I can help with?" I asked placing my hand on top of his. We were a team and he needed to realise that. I wasn't going anywhere.

“It's nothing for you to worry about. I just need you to be safe”. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on FindNovel.net.

There was a black truck I didn't recognise parked in the drive.

A girl bounced out of his house grinning from ear to ear. I didn't even have time to get my seatbelt off and she was pulling me out the truck.

“Look at you. She whistled.

“Rylee". Jake warned.

“Oh shut up I'm just admiring her”. She held me at arms length looking me up and down. “You're beautiful gal". Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Thank you". I was confused as hell. I had no idea who this Rylee was.

“Leah meet my older sister Rylee".

“Older by a whole 2 minutes”. She glared.

Wait a damn minute!

“Twins?". He was a twin and I was just finding out about it.

“I knew you wouldn't have told her about me”. She led me up the front path, her hand still holding mine. My mind was blown, He had a twin sister and didn't think to tell me. “We're going to be great friends”. She winked.

I couldn't sleep. Jake was beside me snoring his head off. Rylee was batshit crazy, lovely but crazy. It was late so it was quick introductions tonight but she wants to take me for drinks tomorrow. Wants to get to know me better.

jake didn't get a say in the matter. Rolling over I slipped his arm getting out of bed as quietly as I could. Opening his bedroom door I snuck out making my way downstairs

The kitchen light was on so I knew Rylee was awake. Probably heard her brothers snores through the wall.

“I don't know how you sleep next to him". She smiled as I made my way into the kitchen. It was almost 3am.

“I don't". I grinned. “I haven't moved in yet". Sitting across from her I noticed the drink she was nursing.

I had so many questions and no way to ask them. If they were twins how come they didn't share the Alpha title? Did she have a mate? Why hadn't anyone mentioned her before?

“And Jake is okay with that?”.

“He'll just have to be”. I shrugged. I would move in with him when we were mated and even then I might still wait a little longer.

A laugh fell from her lips. “My brother has defo met his match. He treat you okay".

“Like a princess”. I scoffed.

“scared you'll break’. She laughed. “You'll get used to the overprotectiveness. He gets that from our dad”.

“He treats me better than ever. I can deal with him being protective because I know he only wants to keep me safe. It's a little overbearing but I can handle it". I didn't want her to think I was mocking him because I wasn't.

Jake was good to me.

“You'll be good for him”. She winked finishing whatever was in her glass.

“I hope 50" I chewed my bottom lip. “I fear I'm not enough”.

“How come?”.

“I'm not a wolf”.

“And what does that have to do with anything?". She got to her feet placing her glass in the sink. “Not all mates are wolfs. jake needs you more than you will ever know".

“Yeah but what if he gets bored or someone better comes along?”. I didn't know what it was but it was easy to talk to Rylee. She gave off a different vibe from the rest.

“You're joking right?".

“Just so we're clear I overthink everything”. I ran a hand through my hair. “And I mean everything. I know I'm his mate and I know there can only ever be one true mate but sometimes my anxiety wins”.

“Alittle bit of advice. Stop listening to your head and those anxiety ridden thoughts and just go with it. Jake isn't ever going to leave you. I'm surprised he hasn't already wifed you up. She smirked.

“We're not there just yet”. I smiled.

“Full moon bullshit". She rolled her eyes. “Ym surprised he's managed it’.

“Let's just say he's not the only one that's struggling”. The creak from above told me he was awake. “I better get back to bed before he sends out a search party”.

She smirked. “The moon goddess knew exactly what she was doing when she picked you".

“I hope you're right”. I got to my feet just as he walked into the living room.

“Babe it's late”. A yawn escaped his mouth as his eyes landed on Rylee.

“We were just having a nice little chat”.

“Well you can chat tomorrow. Bed". His eyes landed back on mine. He wasn't asking.

“Goodnight Rylee”.
