The Alpha Chose Me Chapter 36

I knew he was still here. The weight of him against me and the heat that was radiating from him was like a comfort blanket. Groaning I moved closer to him, this felt right, us being like this felt right.

He was still here….oh shit!

Pushing him off I almost fell out the bed. He couldn’t be here when she got home. Grabbing my phone I groaned, it wasn’t even 7 o’clock. I was so tired, my eyes hurt, my head hurt. Pulling my curtain open I wished I hadn’t. The weather was still bad, the wind had really picked up. It was dark and miserable outside.

“Babe come back to bed”. He groaned. “And shut that damn curtain”. Letting the curtain loose my eyes fell into slits. I don’t know who he thought he was talking to like that.

“You need to leave”. Yes I was being petty by asking him to leave but I also didn’t need the third degree from my gran. Huffing he rolled over throwing his arm over his eyes.

“What time is it?”. He asked.

“Time for you to go home”. Picking up his jeans I threw them at him grinning when they landed on his face.

He growled.

That was something I don’t think I’ll ever get used to.

“You’re on thin ice princess”. Removing the jeans he placed them on the floor. My grin grew. I kinda liked getting under his skin.

“Well I can be on thin ice later. Get up and go home”. His eyes opened, the glare evident. Someone was a little cranky this morning.

“You seriously trying to kick me out?”. Rubbing his eyes a yawn escaped his mouth. “Come back to bed and stop being silly”. Rolling over he slid his hand under my pillow and closed his eyes.

Seriously?

I was having heart palpitations at the thought of my gran walking in and he wanted to go back to sleep?

“Stop overthinking everything and get in the damn bed”. He sighed.

“Jake my gran-…”

“Who cares if she catches us we’re only sleeping now get in the fucking bed before I come get you”. He growled.

That growl did something to my insides.

It was really early and the weather was still bad. I don’t even know if she would make it home at all. If she did catch us like this would it be so bad? She did like him but then again he was in my bed. Whether she liked him or not I knew she wouldn’t approve.

“Leah”. He snapped causing me to jump.

“So grumpy”. I huffed pulling his hoodie over my head. I was going to make some coffee and call her.

“I’m tired Leah. We only fell asleep a few hours ago. I need my sleep babe”. Rolling my eyes I pulled my curtain back again. Big mistake on my part. “I swear to fuck. Shut that damn curtain and get back into bed. I won’t tell you again”. I knew his teeth were clenched. I couldn’t tell with the tone of his voice.

This was my house. He couldn’t tell me what to do in here. In fact he couldn’t tell me what to do period. Closing the curtain I walked towards my door pulling it open. “I’m going for coffee”. He didn’t reply but just to get under his skin that little bit more I slammed the door shut behind me, smirking when I heard him cursing.

Who did he think he was speaking to me like that in my own home. Reaching my living room I turned the heating on. The air was a little cold this morning and I didn’t do cold. Walking into the kitchen I sighed when I realised I hadn’t cleaned up the chicken I dropped last night. Flicking the switch on the kettle I fixed my cup and put the chicken in the bin.

My phone was still laying on the island where I left it. Checking it I sighed with relief when I noticed my signal was back. Pressing her number I put the phone to my ear.

“Leah, Are you okay?”.

“I’m okay just tired. Are you okay, are you coming home?”. I didn’t like that she wasn’t here.

“Did you go stay with Alanna?”. She asked.

“I’m at home”. I sighed. “But I’m okay. They shut everything down here when the weathers bad like this. Schools shut”.

“I heard which is why I wanted you to go and stay with Alanna. I don’t want you to be on your own”.

I wanted to tell her I wasn’t on my own. I had a gigantic werewolf keeping me company. Wait, was she not coming home today?

“They shut everything here Leah. I can’t get back home until the storms over. They aren’t letting anyone in or out”. She sighed.

This was ridiculous.

“Where are you staying?”. I asked pouring some hot water into my cup.

“It’s a good thing George doesn’t live in this town”. She laughed. “We’re safe I just want you to be safe until I can come home”.

“I’m safe gran I just-…” I gasped as his arms circled my waist. Gritting my teeth I nudged him with my hips. What the hell was he playing at?

“Leah, you there?”.
