The Alpha Chose Me

Jake wasn't home yet. I was sat in the living room with Alanna. My idea didn't go as planned. Lacey got upset and bailed well she went home. "She's not having the best time of it just now". Alanna spoke.

I think I made things worse. I offered her my house and she flat out refused. She didn't want a handout which is ridiculous because we're friends and it wasn't a handout.

The house would lay empty when Carter leaves. My gran isn't coming back and I'm not moving back in. I thought about selling it, but I didn't have it in me. It made sense to give it to someone who needed it. "I should have kept my mouth shut". I sighed.

The last thing I wanted was to make her upset.

"Could you talk to Jake?". She asked.

"About what?".

"Get him to talk to Jack".

"I don't think that's a good idea".

It wasn't any of our business and I didn't want to meddle in their relationship. I for one know what that feels like. And this was serious. They had to fix it themselves. Hash it out and fight for what they have. "Well, someone needs to talk to him".

"No, they don't and don't you do it. Leave it be because if you stick your big nose in, I guarantee you'll make it worse".

"Hey". She frowned. "I don't have a big nose".

I rolled my eyes. "I'm being serious Alanna. Lacey is our friend, but this is none of our business. They need to fix it together".

"I hate seeing her like this".

"Me too but she knows we're here for her and until she asks for our advice, we stay out of it".

"Fine". She sighed.

"Will they stay together". I asked.

She shrugged and that didn't fill me with confidence. I thought mates were forever? Surely, the love they shared was enough? Having kids was a big commitment. You can't force someone into wanting them. "Do you want kids?". She asked.

I nodded. I wanted them but not right now. As selfish as it sounds, I wasn't ready to share Jake with anyone else. I wanted to keep him to myself for a little while longer.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Besides we had all the time in the world to have babies.

"I'm not ready to share him". I grinned.

A laugh fell from her lips. "Carter and I haven't talked about kids yet. I'm not even sure he wants them".

"I'm sure he does".

The back door opened but Jake was by himself.

"Carter is waiting out front for you". He went straight to the fridge for some water. "Get some sleep because you're on early patrol tomorrow".

Oh.

A sigh fell from her lips, but she kept quiet. She hated morning patrol and he only ever put her on it if she pissed him off.

"See you tomorrow Leah".

"Bye".
