The Alpha Chose Me Chapter 56

“What’s going on with you bear?”.

Leaning my head against the window I ignored Jake’s call for the third time. Carter thought it was best he took me home.

“Nothing I’m fine”.

“And Jake?”. He asked.

“What about him?”. I glared.

“Alanna told me what happened. Bear, you’ve nothing to worry about with Jake”.

“I’m not worried”.

“Fine if you’re not going to talk to me about it then I’ll shut up”.

“I’m handling it”. I said.

“Do you want to be with him?”. He asked.

“Carter I’m-…”

“Just answer the question”. He said cutting me off.

“I don’t really have a choice do I?”. I laughed sarcastically. “I’m his mate he can’t live without me”. Rolling my eyes I turned my phone off completely. He wouldn’t stop calling.

“True, he can’t live without you in a sense but there’s always a way out. Could reject him”. He shrugged. “And turning your phone off isn’t going to keep him away. He’s been tailing us since we left the beach”.

Of course he was.

The thought of even thinking about rejecting him made my heart hurt. That’s not what I wanted. I didn’t want to hurt him. I wanted him to realise that if he had me he didn’t need anyone else.

“Tell him what you want, what you need. He’ll make you happy bear”. As Carter pulled up to my house Jake took over parking in front of us.

“Okay so I may have overreacted”. I sighed.

“Nah, I’m surprised you didn’t hook the bitch”. He smirked.

“So you get where I’m coming from?”. I asked unclipping my seatbelt.

“I’ll always be on your side Leah. Do what makes you happy. If Jake makes you happy then stop overthinking everything and just go for it okay?”.

“He does make me happy”. I whispered.

“Then what are you waiting for?”. He asked nodding towards Jake’s car.

“It’s not that easy Carter. I want to be with him I do but that girl yesterday and the ones before. I don’t know if I fully trust him. Girls are always fussing over him. They make me feel like I’m not good enough. I want him to show them I’m his”.

“Look I get it but just be careful. The bond works in mysterious ways. If you need some time then take some time but make sure he knows you’re not rejecting him”.

“Thank you”.

“Anytime bear and another thing. Don’t be braking hands tonight”. He winked.

Laughing I got out of the car closing the door behind me. Waving him off I watched as Jake got out of his car making his way towards me.

“I don’t want to-..what are you doing?”. I squealed as he picked me up throwing me over his shoulder. “Put me down”. I yelled.

“Not until this is sorted”. He snapped walking towards his house.

“Jake I swear to-…”. A cry fell from my lips as he brought his hand down on my ass cheek. “You’re an asshole”. I hissed.

Another smack….

My body jerked….

“Keep talking princess and I’ll take you over my knee”.

Sinking my teeth into my bottom lip I couldn’t think about anything else other than where his hand was resting. The need to have him touch me, the fire building, the tingles spreading.

He was so close to my core.

If he moved his hand a little higher he would be touching my most sensitive part, my sweet spot and I so wanted him to touch me there. Feeling the heat spread across my cheeks I giggled. I knew he would be able to tell I was turned on.

“Princess”. He growled his hand moving slightly higher. My body tensed, he wouldn’t dare touch me outside. Reaching his front door he placed me back on my feet.

I could feel him staring.

“What?”. I asked crossing my arms over my chest.

“Feisty”. He glared taking a step closer.

“What happened with Sarah?”. I wanted to know their history. She obviously wasn’t just an easy lay.

“You really going to do this?”. He asked.

“Just as I thought, I’m going home”.

“Then go home”. He hissed his nostrils flaring.

I wasn’t expecting him to say that. Swallowing the lump that appeared in my throat I took myself home before he could see my tears fall.

I didn’t even know why I was crying but I couldn’t seem to stop. My emotions were all over the place. My eyes red, my nose runny. I couldn’t stop thinking about him. The look in his eye when he told me to go home.

Grabbing my pillow I buried my face into it letting out a scream. “Fuck you Jake Taylor, fuck you”. I asked for space and for good reason and this is how he reacts. He wasn’t getting to make me feel guilty because I spoke the truth.

Enough was enough. I wasn’t going to sit around here feeling sorry for myself.
