The Alpha Chose Me

That's all that mattered.

I wanted to ask why she was here, but I didn't want to come across as being rude.

"Mom". Carter sighed.

"Sorry, sorry". She finally put her phone away and joined us at the table. Was it fair to say she looked stressed? The black bags under her eyes, her hair greasy.

"I came to see you because I have something to ask".

Something to ask me?

"Okay". I frowned.

"I already know what your answer will be, but I have to ask. I want you to come back and live with us.

ught of you being out here with no family doesn't sit well with me".

Yeah, because I could just pack my bags and up and leave. I'm quite sure Jake would love that. She did know that I'm mated and settled and finally happy right?

I glanced at Carter, he gave me an eye roll and a small smile. So, he did know why she was coming her

I wasn't quite sure on what to say. Her question was unexpected and never once in the years that I did "Will you at least think about it?". She asked.

"No". I made a face.

"Leah I-...".

"I have everything I need right here". I spoke. "I'm happy and as for family I do have family I have Jake She Did she not think I was happy?

st didn't want to tell me.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Carter did she reach out. So why now?

as being nice, but I couldn't help but feel a little bit annoyed.

"I meant no harm with my question. I know it hasn't been easy with your gran leaving and your dad coming back into your life. I wanted to let you know I was here, we're here for you". How did she know about my dad? "Thanks, but I'm fine".

She didn't stay long after that. She finished her tea and made an excuse to go back to Carters. Now that we were alone, I had a few bones to pick with him. Had he been going back and telling them what was going on with me? Not that I cared much because my life was pretty boring.

"I can't stop her worrying about you". He spoke. "And I told her not to ask that question".

"Yeah, because that worked". I rolled my eyes. "Is she okay?".

"You noticed as well. She's stressed because she's scared, I'll change my mind about going home".

"And have you?".

He shook his head. "I have to do this whether I want to or not. It's the right thing to do".

"And Alanna?". I chewed the inside of my cheek.

"I told her I'm leaving Monday. If she's with me then great but if she's not, then there's not much I can do about it".

"But she's your mate".

"Yeah, but this isn't our pack anymore. The choice is hers I'm not going to force her to come with me".

This was going to end in disaster I could see it now.
