The Alpha Chose Me

The car ride home was quiet. I would sneak glances at him when I knew he wasn't looking. He had yet to let go of my hand. This wasn't exactly how I thought tonight was going to end. Tommy was in Texas, and I had yet to find out why.

It couldn't be me but then there was no other reason. But why? We shared no contact other than a few random messages he sent. We weren't friends. He wasn't part of my life anymore. A sigh fell from my lips as I rubbed at my eyes. I was tired and I couldn't wait to get home and get out of these clothes. "You, okay?".

He sounded fine but I wasn't sure how he was feeling inside. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on . Visit to read the complete chapters for free. I didn't know if he was angry or pissed off. I really wasn't in the mood for an argument tonight. I wanted to go to bed and cuddle until I fell asleep.

"Are we okay?". I asked.

"Always baby". He brought my hand to his lips and kissed my knuckles. "That piece of shit won't bother you again".

"Are you angry?".This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

"I wanted to crush his f*****g skull".

I swallowed the lump in my throat. He was angry alright but not with me. Tommy showing up here was a big mistake and I knew Jake wouldn't stop until he knew he had left.

I'd put money on it that he has someone tailing him as we speak.

"I'm sorry". I whispered.

"For what baby?".

"My choice in men".

A laugh fell from his lips. "Ouch princess".

We had never really talked about Tommy. He didn't ask much and well I didn't think it was appropriate to talk about him. I was wrong. I should have told him about how bad our relationship was.

But again, I didn't realise how bad it was until I was no longer in it. My eyes weren't opened until I moved here.

"Our relationship wasn't good Jake. He manipulated me any chance he got. He made all my decisions for me. He even distanced me from all my friends".

His hand tightened around the steering wheel. He didn't want to hear it, and I didn't blame him.

"I couldn't see it. I thought I loved him".

"Did he-...". He paused.

I knew what he was going to ask.

"He didn't hurt me physically".

"I should have snapped him like a fucking twig. He comes back here and he's fair game. I'll rip his fucking throat out".

"He's not worth it Jake". If he was smart, he would already be on his way home. He was scared tonight and that has never happened before. He always came across confident and afraid of nothing. Jake changed that.

"He hurt you".

"He did".

"So, I'll hurt him".

"He won't come back here not after tonight".

"Yeah, well if he does, he's a dead man. Why would he come here?".

I shrugged.

"Did he think he was coming to win you back?".

"I'm yours and nothing or no one will ever change that".

"It's never you I'm worried about baby, it's everyone fucking else".

"He's gone Jake, we won't see him again.

...

I was sat on our bed fresh out the shower. Jake had insisted on doing a quick patrol of the perimeter. He still had extra bodies out patrolling but of course he had to do one himself. I ran a brush through my hair and headed downstairs.

A scream fell from my lips as I was pushed to the ground my head thumping off the floor. I scrambled trying to get myself up, I was pushed back down and held there.

"Did you really think I feared your boyfriend?". He laughed. "Should know me better than that Leah".
