The Alpha Chose Me

We had been summoned for dinner at yet another fancy restaurant. His parent's idea of course. They wanted to celebrate our bond seeing as the party Charlotte threw was a dud. "I'm a lucky guy". He smirked. "You're beautiful baby".

Uncomfortable was what I was. Although I was in love with the dress that I had on. A gift from his mom. She insisted I wear it tonight so I did.

"I hate fancy places".

"It's one little dinner, we can skip out early".

"It's a dinner for us. We can't leave early". I grabbed my purse and put my phone inside. "Besides your mom would kill us both".

"I have something for you".

The butterflies erupted in my stomach as he slipped his arm around my waist. Our bond was strong. The feelings we held for each other were deeper, they meant more somehow. Everything felt different but a good different.

"I feel it too". He whispered against my neck.

"It's different". My voice barely a whisper I could feel how fast my heart was beating. If he stayed this close, we weren't making it to dinner.

"Better". He kissed my neck his hands sliding up and down my sides.

We couldn't.

"Jake"...

A sigh fell from his lips, his hands resting on my hips. "I can't help that I want you all the f*****g time".

I wanted him too but tonight was important. I wasn't big on the idea but we couldn't not go. I wouldn't disappoint his mom like that.

"I want you too". My eyes connected with his. "But we have to go or we'll be late".

"Then let's be late". He smirked.

"Later". I smiled.

..

My mouth fell open as we stepped outside.

A stretched limo.

"Wow". I hadn't been in a limo before.

"She's pulled out the big guns for tonight". He took my hand in his and lead me down the driveway.

"Is this all because we completed our bond?". I knew it was important but a stretched limo?

"How about we just enjoy it?".

He was right. I deserved this. The shit he put me through, the shit I had to go through. Never mind a limo I deserved a medal for putting up with his a*s. "Okay".

She had sent a limo just for us.

I felt weird.

This type of car screamed attention and that wasn't me. I tried to sit back and enjoy it but I couldn't seem to relax. I felt a little uneasy.

"Leah".

"Hm?".

"It's just a car baby".

"I know".

"You don't like being in here, do you?".

"Not used to things like this".

"Would you rather I took you in my truck?".

A laugh fell from my lips. "Could you imagine your moms face. Fancy things aren't me".

"So, should I return this?". He produced a blue box.

A tiffany box.

My mouth became dry.

Of course, the first thing that popped into my head was an engagement ring.

Was I ready for that?

"Jake I-...".

"Before you start overthinking and freaking out it's a promise ring".

My body relaxed.

I could handle a promise ring. I hadn't had a promise ring since Tommy. But this was different, I knew this ring meant everything and one day it would turn into an engagement ring. He opened the box.

It was beautiful. Rose gold with round crystals or diamonds. I couldn't tell the difference but it looked expensive and probably too expensive for my finger.

"It's beautiful". I was in awe.

"Put it on".

"It looks expensive and I-...".All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

"It's yours to wear, put it on".

That was me told.

I didn't argue or try and come up with any more excuses not to wear it. He bought it for me, chose it for me. I took it from the box but hesitated. What finger was I to put it on? "Right ring finger".

"Right". Of course, I mean it wasn't an engagement ring.

Did I want it to be an engagement ring?

"Your left ring finger will bare nothing but your wedding ring princess".

Right because one day I will become his wife.

I lay my head against his shoulder placing a kiss on his cheek.

"One day". I whispered.
