The Alpha Chose Me (Leah and Jake) novel Chapter 104

I did it.

My final exam was complete.

Whether I passed it or not was a different story but I was just glad to be done. School year was coming to an end and all my worries from before were starting to creep back in.

I had no plans for when school finished.

"Well?". Alanna asked as she linked her arm through mine.

"Not as bad as I thought".

"We did it". She squealed. "We actually finished school. We should go out and celebrate tonight".

I wasn't really in the mood to celebrate. Jake wasn't here and I wasn't really sure if we were on speaking terms or not.

"He's my brother Leah but forget about him for one night".

"Easier said than done". The whole waiting to mate conversation got a little heated. I stormed off to the room and well he stormed off into the woods. I woke to a text the next day saying he was away on Alpha duties.

I haven't heard from him since.

"Have you tried calling him?". She sighed.

"I'm not doing that".

"You are both as stubborn as each other".

"Well suited then". I grinned.

"What even happened?". She pushed the door open as we made our way outside.

"We had a disagreement". Reaching my car I unlocked the door putting my bag in the back seat.

"About?".

"It doesn't matter. Where were you thinking for tonight?". I tried changing the subject. I didn't want to talk about the mating situation with her.

It was a stupid reason to have an argument. I knew our time would come.

"Changing the subject, real smooth". She winked. "I was thinking drinks at Jake's and then maybe the bar I took you to?".

The werewolf bar, the bar where I made everyone uncomfortable because of my scent.

"But Jake's not here". I frowned.

"It's your house to and we're celebrating. I'm sure he wouldn't mind".

"Yeah right have you-....".

"Yo shorty". Ryan yelled as he walked towards us grinning from ear to ear. "How'd it go?".

"I think I passed". I smiled.

"You think?". He laughed throwing his arm around my shoulder. "We celebrating tonight or what?".

Alanna rolled her eyes. "Of course we're celebrating but-...".

"I'll text you later and tell you where to meet us okay?".

"Sure thing". He grinned. "Catch you later shorty, Alanna". He winked.

"Did you really just invite Ryan?". She sighed.

"Yeah, yeah I did. You getting in?". I opened my door and got in.

"Jake won't like that".

I put on my seatbelt and started my engine. "Well it's a good thing Jake isn't here then isn't it. He doesn't get to pick my friends Alanna". I took off out the school parking lot and headed home.

"That's not what I mean. You know how jealous he gets".

She didn't need to remind me. "Then I guess he needs to work a little harder on trusting me".

"Great". She sighed.

I ignored her sigh. I don't know why she was trying to make a big deal out of nothing.

"I just want you to be careful. You've experienced first hand what he's like when he's jealous". She broke the silence as I pulled up outside her parents house.

"But he's nothing to be jealous of. Heck he's not even here Alanna".

"Doesn't mean he doesn't know what's going on".

Of course.

"Do you want me to come out tonight or not?".

"What, of course". She undid her seatbelt.

"Then enough about Jake. I'll see you at six".

.............

I didn't see her at six.

Jake came home. No text, no phone call, no heads up. He was stood glaring at me from across the room.

I was dressed for going out.

He hadn't said a word to me since he got home.

"Did you really come home early because someone told you I was going out?". I broke the horrible silence between us.

"Ain't stopping you going out babe". He pulled a beer from the fridge.

He didn't answer my question.

"We're celebrating finishing school. Please don't be annoyed".

"I'm not annoyed".

He was annoyed. The gritting of his teeth was a big giveaway. I wasn't letting his mood ruin mine. Mate or no mate he didn't get to control me. Same goes for his Alpha status.

I was his equal.

"Okay whatever". I sighed.

"Could have told me though".

And here it comes.

"You weren't here". I shrugged.

"Didn't exactly leave on good terms". He brought the beer bottle to his lips.

"No we didn't but you left leaving me nothing but a note".

"Had business to take care of".

"Sure". I rolled my eyes as my phone vibrated. I knew it was Alanna and I knew she knew he was home.
