The Alpha Chose Me (Leah and Jake) novel Chapter 94

Jacob dropped us off and to say I felt a little awkward was an understatement. Standing outside the club I stared at the queue to get in.

It was going to be a busy night.

"Come on". Alanna looped her arm through mine pulling me to the front of the line.

I felt the bass from the music under my feet. The music blasting through my ears. Slipping her hand down my arm she grabbed my hand.

"Have fun tonight okay".

"Okay"....

She stopped dead before turning to face me. "Promise you're not gonna be mad".

"Why would I be mad?". I followed her gaze the smile slipping from my face, my stomach tightening. I knew what she was going to say before she said it.

"Please tell me-...". My breath caught in my throat when I saw him. Sat between Jack and Carter, that stupid but sexy smirk on his face.

I couldn't control my breathing. I didn't think I would react this way but I couldn't stop. He looked different, bigger, more rugged, unshaven.

I wanted nothing more than to go to him.

"Is-...is this why you wanted me to come tonight?". I pulled my hand from her grasp.

"Please don't go". She begged. "He's home, he's back for you".

"Lucky me". I whispered.

I felt embarrassed, stupid even. How could she just spring this on me without any warning.

"You tricked me-...that photo?". I asked.

"Said he would only come tonight if he knew for sure you were going to be here. I'm so sorry Leah. I didn't think-...do you hate me?".

He hadn't seen me yet but I knew he knew I was here. Him and his freaky werewolf senses. I couldn't take my eyes off him. My nerves wrecked, the butterflies swarming in my stomach.

I felt sick.

"Leah?"...

"Sorry I-..I need some air". I didn't give her time to reply. I pushed my way through the crowd of bodies until I reached outside.

I couldn't think, my head all fuzzy. I was finding it hard to catch my breath. He was actually here and yet he hadn't tried to approach me.

"Little lady are you okay?". Jimmy asked.

"I'm fine". I smiled digging around in my purse for my phone. I think calling an Uber and going home was probably the best thing to do.

My phone vibrated in my hand. A Facebook notification. Alanna had uploaded the picture she took of me.

Reading the caption I smiled. I liked her caption better than mine.

Queen with the little crown emoji.

Sinking my teeth into my bottom lip I closed my eyes taking a deep breath. I was out with my friends. I shouldn't feel like I have to go home just because he was here.

Straightening my shoulders I about turned making my way back inside. I stopped at the bar first for a drink before making my way over to the booth they had.

I felt powerful walking across the dance floor. I could sense him watching, knew he was staring along with everyone else.

It dawned on me that Jake wasn't the only one that held a presence. They knew who I was, maybe the respect wasn't there right now but it would be soon.

"Yes queen". Alanna yelled.

I felt confident, I looked confident. It may be a front but it was working.

"I'm so nervous". I whispered as I sat beside her. Jake was sitting at the top end engrossed in a conversation with Carter.

But I knew he was watching.

"Shh he'll be listening". She smiled.

I spotted Lana and Lacey walking back from the bar carrying a tray of drinks.

"We watched you and do you know every guy and girl in here had their eyes on you". Lacey laughed.

"Some still do". Lana smirked as she placed the tray in the middle of the table.

Shots! All different coloured shots.

"I really thought you went home". Alanna grabbed the bottle of champagne from the bucket it was in.

"Champagne?". I frowned.

Who could afford to buy that?

"It arrived as soon as we walked in. Pretty sure it was meant for you though so we waited". She filled up four glasses before handing me one. "Even came with this". She snuck her hand under the table before producing a rose.

A single red rose.

Really?!

I wanted to make a sarcastic joke but I actually found it a little sweet. He was trying but I wasn't interested in roses or champagne. He knew how simple I was. A conversation, a little acknowledgment that I was here would have been enough.

I wasn't looking over, I wasn't looking over. Stealing a quick glance my heartbeat quickened when he caught me staring. Quickly looking away I took a sip of my drink.

A rosé champagne. I wanted to hate it but I couldn't it was fruity and refreshing.

"Who knew he could be cute". I rolled my eyes bringing the rose to my nose before setting it down on the table.

"I want to hate him Leah but that was sweet". Lana picked up the rose. "Pete needs to up his game".

"I want to hate him to". I sighed. My confidence was slowly slipping. I was itching to go to him. Every fibre in my body was telling me to go over there. Looking over my stomach tightened as our eyes met.

This time I didn't look away.

"Leah?"....

Running my tongue along my bottom lip I could feel that sweet little feeling building in the pit of my stomach. He looked so different, hotter, sexier. His hair longer, his arms bigger.

He had completely transformed. The Alpha male had returned and I wanted nothing more than for him to take me home and have his wicked way with me.

"Hey Leah?"....

I could feel my arousal, the wetness between my thighs, the tightness of my nipples against my top.

"Leah are you-...".

Blinking a few times a laugh fell from my lips. "I'm sorry I-..". Another laugh fell from my lips, cheeks flushed.

"Eye fucking my brother". She smirked.

"Well he is my mate". I shrugged picking up my glass and finishing what was in it.

"Well damn". Lana laughed. "Oh shit he's coming over".

He was?
