The Alpha Chose Me
Chapter 26

My phoned pinged from inside my pocket. Maybe this was my gran. Taking it out I frowned, a message from an unknown number.

“still awake princess?’

As soon as I read it I knew it was him. How did he get my number?

“How'd you get my number?’

Hitting send my phoned started ringing. My heart raced, why was he calling me? Sliding my finger over the screen I placed the phone to my ear.

Why did I answer it?

“And there I thought you would have patched me’ He chuckled “How come you're still up princess?’

“top calling me that’. I huffed. “How did you get my number?"

“I have my ways. You hungry?’

“It's late and I~."

“Never asked for the time princess, I asked if you were hungry’

I didn’t know who he thought he was talking to like that. Pulling my phone away from my ear I looked at the time. Okay so it wasn't that late but still I had school in the morning.

“Leah?’

“What?”

“Food babe, do you want food?’

“I could eat”. Sinking my teeth into my bottom lip I tried to hide my smile. Why was I smiling? Why did I suddenly have butterflies in my stomach? Hearing the knock on my back door I frowned, who could that be? “Are you at my door?” Rolling my eyes I hung the phone up and opened the door.

There he stood smirking at me.

“Like what you see princess?”.

“What would you have done if I had said no?". Stepping aside I let him in closing and locking the door. “I mean standing at my back door, really?”.

“Chanced my luck” he shrugged.

Falling silent I walked further into the kitchen. Why did I say I could eat? I felt awkward, the silence was deafening, his presence overwhelming. He was in front of me before I could blink.

Placing his arms on either side of the counter top I was trapped. “What are you doing?" I gasped.

“Your hearts beating so fast”. He whispered. “You nervous princess?”.

“I-I-.” I wasn't nervous I just couldn't seem to concentrate on forming words. What was he doing to me? Whatever it was, I didn't like it. “I'm not so hungry anymore and I'm up early tomorrow”. My voice was barely above a whisper but with the way he tensed I knew he heard me loud and clear.

I couldn't seem to look at him and he had yet to removed his arms. I was stuck. My stomach rumbled and I mentally cursed. “Not hungry huh?". He was so close, his nose brushed against mine and my eyes fluttered shut. My body hummed with how close he was, I strangely felt at ease, I felt safe.

“I have school, 'm up early”. Pushing past him I placed my hand over my heart. Why was it beating so fast? Why did he have such a big effect on me?

“Where's your gran?”. He asked. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Good question.

“She's out”. Glancing at the clock I frowned. It was almost ten and she still wasn't home. I was starting to worry. We were new to this town, who could she possibly be with?

“I could stay until she comes home?” He offered but I wasn't having that. He already had me doing things I couldn't control, like kissing him.

“No it's okay and besides I don't know how she'd react to finding you here late at night”.

“Almost sure she'd be fine with it".

“And you don't know my gran’. I smiled. She was old fashioned. Having boys over wasn't allowed unless she was present. “Maybe not but Id like to get to know you”. He grinned as he inched himself closer. “I wanna know everything about you princess”. Grabbing a strand of loose hair he twirled it around his finger, “Everything”. He whispered.

swatting his hand away I took a step back. “Stop calling me that and I think you should go”. Crossing my arms under my ches Iturned my head. Again my stomach rumbled.

“Never princess now here put this on”. Pulling his hoody over his head he passed it to me. “I'm taking you for something to eat”.

“Jake”. I groaned. “I'm up early tomorrow”. I didn't function without a good nights sleep. Going out wasn't really the best idea He didn’t have to worry about getting up early.

“Could always pull a icky”. He smirked taking his hoody from my hands and placing it over my head. “Arms up”. And just like that I did as he said. Instantly all I could smell was him, his scent, his aftershave, he was everywhere and I loved it.

“I've just started I need to make a good impression and pulling a sicky is only going to get me into trouble”.

“Nah baby you won't get into trouble, now lets go get a burger”.
