The Alpha Chose Me

"She's aware yes but I think it's you she's coming to visit".

Eh?

My aunt Claire and I didn't have a bad relationship but there was no reason for her to visit me. We weren't that close even though she was my mom's sister. I didn't bother asking anymore questions on the matter. I would wait and see what she had to say. The waiter brought our food out and everyone began eating. It wasn't as awkward as before, but I could still feel the tension in the air. It was none of my business and I shouldn't get involved but I hated seeing him this way. I hated seeing them both look so unhappy.

"Are you two going to sort your shit out?". Jake asked.

Looks like he bet me to it.

"Jake". Alanna warned.

"He has a point Alanna". I added.

"Did you know she doesn't want to come with me". Carter spoke.

"I never said that". Alanna huffed. "Don't twist my words".

And here we go.

"You said you don't want to leave". He made a face. "It's the same thing".

"I'm not doing this". She whispered as she got to her feet. "I'm going home".Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

I looked at Jake before nodding that he goes after her. I think it was time I found out what was really going on with him. He had been distant for days, I had hardly seen or heard from him. His head was elsewhere, and I got it. I understood that he was stressing about going back home.

"What's going on with you?". I asked.

"I'm a fucking hypocrite". He drank what was left of his beer and signalled that the waiter brings him another. "She's so f*****g precious and I'm pushing her away".

I frowned. "What's happened for you to say that?".

"I don't want to leave Leah and I'm making out that it's Alanna fault". He ran a hand over his face. "How much of an ass does that make me. Who blames their girlfriend when in fact you feel the same way".

"Hey". I reached over placing my hand over his. "If you don't want to leave then don't leave".

"It's not that simple".

"But uncle Zac is beta". I frowned.

"Yes, which means I'll take his place. I can't do that if I'm here. I'm trying to make everyone happy, but I can't".

My heart broke for him. Carter was always the happy go lucky type. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on . Visit to read the complete chapters for free. Always cracking jokes and making other people laugh. He had the magic touch of making you feel better. Looking at him now, he seemed broken.

"Why don't you want to go back?". I asked.

Alanna made out that he needed his title. Being within our pack wasn't good for him because he outranked most but held no power. Never once had I witnessed Carter needing power.

"I don't want to be Beta". He sighed. "Don't get me wrong the Alpha is great, the packs great". He paused taking a sip of his fresh beer. "I just don't belong there".

I couldn't make the decision for him. I could easily turn around and tell him to stay but I wasn't the one that had to suffer the consequences.

"Only you can make this decision, you and Alanna. Do what makes you happy and forget about everyone else".

"Yeah, that's if she's even still speaking to me".
