The Alpha Chose Me (Leah and Jake) novel Chapter 92

I drove to the training ground.

My car parked I was sat staring across the field. I spotted him straight away. Barking orders, firing demands, demanding respect.

His pack scattered everywhere. Some in human form, most in wolf form. Even from the car I felt a little intimidated. It was something I was never going to get used to.

The chap on my window knocked me out my thoughts. Jack was stood staring at me. Jack was a lot like Jake at times. A massive prick with a stinking attitude.

I opened my window a little, enough to hear what he had to say.

"You here to fix that?".

"Excuse me?".

"We've been here since half 5 sweetheart. Take one for the team and sort your fucking shit out".

"You think he's like that because out me?". I glared.

"I never said that". His glare matched mine. "But he's running them into the ground, especially the young ones".

"Yeah because I can stop him. You know better than me what he's like when he's like this. There's no getting through to him". I ran a hand through my hair a sigh slipping past my lips.

"You're his fucking mate". He hissed. "You can at least try".

The hairs on my arms stood, a shiver rocking through my body as a growl broke through the air.

"Great". Jack sighed. "Just fucking great".

"What, what is it?".

"Just talk to him before someone ends up dead". With that being said he sprinted back down to the field.

My eyes landed on him. Still barking his orders, pushing everyone to the fullest. Working them to the bone.

The pack looked defeated. Some of the younger girls crying in pain but they didn't stop. Whatever he asked they did. The light drizzle of rain started before thunder broke through the clouds, still he continued.

“It’s just a little rain, rains better for training in”. He yelled as he started running towards my car.

I couldn’t hide my nerves. He opened the passenger side door and got in. “What are you doing here Leah?”. He asked.

“Honestly I don’t even know”. I sighed as another roar of thunder broke through the sky. “Shouldn’t they be inside doing that?”.

“No”. He made a face. “Go home I’ll come by when I’m done here”.

“Is this what it’s going to be like?”. I whispered. “Because if it is then I don’t want it”.

“Don’t want what?”. He asked.

“This, us”. My voice broke a little, the lump appearing in the back of my throat. It was hard saying this but I wasn’t sure how much more of him I could take.

“Then go, fuck off to Yale and forget about me”.

My stomach dropped, did he actually just say that. I could feel the tears in my eyes, praying they didn’t fall. I wouldn’t let him see me cry.

“That’s what you want isn’t it so go fucking do it”.

“I can’t believe you just said that”. My voice barely a whisper, a sob so close to spilling from my lips.

“I’m a prick princess but you already knew that. Do what the fuck you want because I don’t care. I’m fact you’d be doing me a favour”.

I was to caught up in my own head to realise he had left. The door slamming shut made me jump. I felt numb, my heart hurt. The sob I so desperately tried to hide rocked it’s way through my body.

He had pushed me too far this time and I was officially done. Tears streaming down my cheeks I turned my key and started my journey home.

…..

Going home to an empty house upset wasn’t the best. I kicked off my shoes and dumped my jacket and bag on the stairs.

I couldn’t stop crying. He had broke my heart for a second time, his words still ringing in my ears. He had basically told me he didn’t want me.

I always knew deep down I wasn’t good enough for him and his words tonight proved that. How could I have been so stupid? How do I always fall for the wrong ones?

But it was meant to be different this time. He was made for me just like I was made for him. Obviously this whole moon goddess was bullshit. You don’t treat the person you’re meant to be with like that. Angrily wiping my tears away I stormed upstairs barging into my room.

I hated myself for crying. He didn’t deserve my tears, he didn’t deserve anything from me. I was worth ten of him and it was about time I realised that.

Grabbing my laptop I sat on my window seat opening up my emails. Screw Jake Taylor and screw this stupid bloody town. For the first time in weeks I was missing Florida.

Finding Mr Gallaghers last email I hit reply.

‘Sir,

I hope you don’t mind me emailing you. I have changed my mind. I am going to accept the offer to Yale. Would really appreciate any advice you have.

Thanks,

Leah :)

Hitting send I placed my laptop on the floor. Laying my head against the window I watched the rain fall, the thunder ripping through the sky.

I wanted to be angry, I wanted to scream and throw things but the sadness won. More tears fell, more sobs came. He had well and truly broke me. Whatever his reason for saying what he did I would never forgive him.

Jake Taylor no longer existed to me.
