The Alpha Chose Me
Chapter 256

A tradition? Who in the hell comes up with this? Why would anyone want to hold off from having s*x with their mate? “That's f****d up”. The words were out before I could stop them. “He would rather I suffer in pain so he can show everyone he resisted the urge?". I was speechless. Did no one ever think to ask the female how they would feel in this situation?

“I didn't think he would participate Leah. You both have been waiting so long to complete your bond. If 'm honest I wasn't expecting, you home until at least Monday”.J

A laugh fell from my lips. I couldn't wrap my head around how crazy this was. He was doing all of this to get his ego stroked. “I need to not be here right now". I got to my feet. I didn't even know what to say to her.

“Please don't leave".

“I don't want to be around him". Jake had done and said a lot of things that made me question if I wanted to be with him but this, this was too far. I had stuck by him through everything, forgave him for his mistakes and this is what he does to me.

“I understand Leah but please don't run off. He won't like that”.

“I can't stay here”. He would rather hurt me than love me. “I won't be a part of this just so he scores a few points within the pack. If he wants to prove how strong he is, then let's see how long he can really last".

“Leah please."

“Ill be back soon I promise”.

I got in my car and drove out of town.

jake called, we argued and I hung up. He was aware that I knew the truth. Begged me to come home so we could talk, so he could explain. I declined but assured him I would be back soon.

I didn't want him to come looking for me. It wouldn't help.

once I calmed myself down, I realised I wasn't angry with him, if anything I was disappointed. I wanted to make love, stay in bed for days, be on a high because we were finally together, we were one.

I wanted to stay in our bubble just a little while longer. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Instead, I was sat in a cute little coffee shop, Pura coffee on the outskirts of town. Sipping coffee and eating my feelings in cake. I didn't feel any better. My body was hot, the headache dim. My skin itched and tingled but I had gotten used to the slight burn.

Pushing the plate to the side a sigh fell from my lips. My appetite gone I got to my feet and left. He was stood by my car his eyes fixed on the ground. My stomach twisted. He looked guilty as sin.

Lifting his head his eyes landed on mine.

“How did you know where I was?"

“You wear my mark baby; I'l always know where you are".

“You didn't need to come here. I told you I would be home soon”. I unlocked my car waiting for him to move.

He didn't,

“Can you please move?” I could already feel the effects of being around him. The ache inside slowly slipping but the need for him creeping in.

“Where are you going?” He asked.

“I'm not running if that's what you mean”.

“That's not what I mean Leah. I want to know you're safe”.

“Ym safe now can I please get into my car?" I didn't want to be around him but God damn I did. My body hummed anytime he was close. I wanted him to wrap me up in his arms and tell me everything was going to be okay.

I hated how responsive I was to him. Especially when I wanted to hate him.

“Let me take you home baby”.

“No”. I wanted to scream yes.

“Please, let me take you home so I can explain”. He took a step toward me; I took one back.

“You don't need to explain anything’. I heard everything from his mom. I didn't need to hear it again. “D-don't” I stuttered as he reached for me. “Don't touch me". Him touching me now would only make it worse in the days to come.

“Baby”. Ignoring my request, he wrapped me in his arms a sob falling from my lips.

“I hate you”. I whispered. “And I love you. I slipped my arms around his neck, burying my head against his chest. I knew I was weak; I should have tried to push him off but right now I needed him the most.

I craved him.

His touch, his scent.

I wanted it all.

“You win”. He whispered as his arms tightened around my waist.
