My Hot Alpha

I wasn't expecting him not to answer so when his phone went straight to voicemail, I panicked a little. I needed him to answer. So, me being me I tried repeatedly until he answered.

"What?". He yelled.

Instantly my heart clenched. I knew straight away he was going out of his mind with worry. Probably thinking the worst.

"Jake". I whispered.

"Leah, Leah is that you? Where are you baby? Are you safe?".

"I'm safe Jake I'm at my dad's".

"You left?".

The pain in his voice crushed my soul. I couldn't tell him how I got here because if I did it would start a war. Lana and Pete obviously hadn't said anything which was bad on their part. What if this hadn't of been my dad would they have kept quiet?

"Baby, are you there?". He spoke.

"I'm here".

"What's going on Leah? Please talk to me".

"I didn't leave Jake I promise I didn't leave you, but I need you to come and pick me up, but you can't ask questions".

"I don't understand Leah so please just tell me what's going on".

I couldn't not tell him the truth. Regardless of the consequences of what might happen. But I couldn't do it over the phone. I couldn't take the chance of him losing it and letting his wolf take over. "If I text you the address, will you come and get me?". I asked.

"Leah, what the hell's going on?".

"I'll see you soon". I whispered before ending the call.

I felt the lump appear in the back of my throat as I sat on one of the armchairs. I wasn't sure how long I had been sitting there but when there was a knock on the door I shot to my feet. "Yeah?". I spoke.

The door opened my dad poking his head inside. "Did you manage to get a hold of Jake?". He asked.

I nodded. "Do you have my phone?" I had it when I left the house this morning but wasn't sure if I lost it in the forest.

I watched as he pulled it from his jacket pocket and passed it to me. "If you're not on obb. right now, this content has been scraped! For fresh updates, exclusive insights, and the real story, come visit us directly at Jobb.o. We appreciate your loyalty!" It was off or maybe it was broken. I turned it on sighing when I noticed the cracked screen. Of course, because that's the type of luck I have.

"What's this address?". I asked.

"Is Jake coming for you?".

I nodded. "I haven't told him how I got here but I'm going to because he thinks I left him".

"I understand and I know I went about this all the wrong way, but I didn't do it out of spite. I'm sorry Leah and I'm sorry for the distress I caused. I should never have tried to push this on you".

"You could have reached out, sent a message, a simple phone call. It's not as if we haven't already met. Not even that you didn't need to drug me". I was still feeling the effects of what they gave me.

"It was a light sedative. It won't cause any harm".

"That's not really the point". I frowned. "Whose idea was it to do that?".

"Grace". He spoke. "I guess she thought you'd find it humorous".

I definitely did not.

"Can I please have the address, so he knows where to come to".

"Sure". He nodded. "It's 114 Thomas Avenue. If he's smart, he'll remember this house".

"He will?".Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

"Jake's been here many times. His parents too. We're old friends".

I already knew that, but I wasn't aware they were that close.

"Would you like something else to eat? You barely touched your sandwich. Or can I get you something to drink?".

"Coffee please". I opened a new message and sent him the address.

"I'll be right back, or you can come with me?". He offered.

"Okay". I followed him from the dining room into the kitchen area. First thing I noticed was it was remarkably similar to Jake's parents. Soaring ceilings, all open space, big patio windows.

I walked straight towards the windows staring out into the open space. I had come to notice werewolves liked open ground. I mean why wouldn't they? A step out their back door to an open forest. Always having somewhere to run openly, freely. "When did you know that Jake and I were mates?". I asked.

"When an Alpha finds his mate it's a big deal but I'm sure you already knew that. News spreads fast and well you've met Charlotte. I saw the picture of you and Jake and then I saw you that day in the diner. You look exactly like your mom did at your age". "How long have you been in contact with my gran? Was it before we moved here? Did you know we were coming?". There had been so many secrets, so many lies I found it hard to trust what people told me.

"She reached out to me when you got here. She knew I lived a few hours out of town but I'm not the reason you moved. She gave me the green light when I told her I wanted to meet you".

She did? Way back when I wasn't allowed to mention his name. Growing up I always thought he was a bad man and that was the furthest thing from the truth. Maybe it was easier for her to make me believe that he was no good in case I never got this chance.
