The Alpha Chose Me
Chapter 357

I never once woke through the night. I didn't feel him come to bed; I never heard a thing. So, when I woke in the morning, and he was wrapped around me I fought with myself not to snuggle closer and fall back asleep.

I was annoyed at him. Pissed off that he left me alone all night. But it was still early, and I didn't want to get up yet so instead of getting out the bed I manoeuvred myself away from him by rolling onto my side.

“Babe”. He whispered.

I chose to ignore him. Hopefully, he'll think 'm still sleeping and leave me be. Now wasn't the time for a conversation not when I only went to bed a few hours ago.

I wanted to sleep. I wanted to sleep until I didn't feel tired anymore. I was sick of always being exhausted.

“Leah.” He lightly shoved my arm with his hand.

Again, I ignored him and again he shoved my arm.

“Stop.” I groaned.

“We need to talk Leah.”

“You want to talk?” I sat up switching the bedside light on so I could see his face. *I waited all night to talk, and you want to do it now?"

“I should have come home earlier. ” He spoke.

“Yeah, you should have because now I don't feel like talking. ” I pushed the covers off and got out of bed. “I'm going to sleep in the spare room. Do not follow me. ” I slammed the door shut behind me.

I didnt check the caller ID before I answered. My phone had been vibrating for the last I0 minutes.

“Hello?” I was still half asleep.

“You really not going to come say goodbye to your favourite cousin?”

Shit.

I jumped out of bed pulling my phone away from my ear so I could check the time. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on FindNovel.net.

How could I have forgotten they were leaving today and more importantly why didn't jake wake me. “Ym sorry I overslept. Please don't leave without seeing me". I felt the lump appear in the back of my throat. This was real. He was leaving, going back home, leaving me here.

He chuckled. “Everyone's meeting at I. You've got an hour to get your ass over here."

“Over where?". I asked.

“Your old house dummy”.

"Hey". I frowned, “Less of the dummy."

“I'll see you soon.” And then he hung up.

I wasn't sure if Jake was here, but I had an hour and first things first. I needed coffee. As I expected he wasn't home. I went about making some coffee and a late breakfast.

I was in two minds whether to call him or not, but I did it anyway. I put it on speaker while I buttered cream cheese onto my bagel.

“Are you calling for an argument?”.

I frowned. I didn't like his tone. He sounded pissed off and if anything, I should be the one with an attitude today not him. “Leah I'm busy here. Are you okay?".

“Busy doing what? Where are you?". I knew he wasn't alone I could hear muffled voices.

“Securing the territory. Some fences came down last night".

“Okay”. I wasn't sure what else to say. Another thing he'll probably keep me in the dark about.

“We'll talk later I promise but I have to go”. He hung up.

I sat at the table eating my bagel and drinking my coffee when there was a knock on the front door before Alanna appeared. She looked like she'd been crying. Her eyes all red and puffy.

“Are you okay?"l frowned.

“Just sad”she whispered.

She was making a huge sacrifice. I don't blame her for being sad that she was leaving. This was her home and had been for many years.
