My Hot Alpha novel Chapter 147

His car was in the drive when I got dropped off so I knew he was home or at least that’s what I thought. Walking up the front path I went to chap the door but it was pulled open.

Alanna.

“They’re going to make him go home aren’t they?”. She had been crying, I could tell by the puffiness around her eyes.

“He won’t go”. I sidestepped her through the door closing it behind me. “And they can’t make him do anything”. Could they? Carter was a grown man he made his own decision.

“If he doesn’t go he’ll be banished from his own pack”.

“You’re kidding right?”. Taking a seat on the couch I kicked off my shoes. “That’s ridiculous”.

“I don’t want to leave my home but I can’t make him go through with it”. She sat down beside me a fresh set of tears rolling down her cheeks. She made a face before wiping away her tears. “Why do you smell like that?”. She inched closer scrunching up her nose.

“Smell like what?”. I frowned.

“You smell-…”. She grabbed a strand of my hair before inhaling deeply. “You need to go shower now”. She was pulling me off the couch.

“What the hell?”. I huffed pulling my hand out of hers. I didn’t know whether to be offended or not. I didn’t smell.

“You stink of them”. Her eyes slanted as she crossed her arms over her chest.

“What are you-… Oh”…..

“You have to be careful Leah. You aren’t mated yet and the last thing you want is Jake out of control”.

“I went for breakfast with my aunt that’s it”. It wasn’t my fault that Rocco turned up or that his sister worked there.

“Just don’t get too close. My dad and Jake haven’t decided if they can stay yet”.

“What happened at the pack meeting?”.

“They couldn’t come to a decision so we’ll wait for the next meeting and see what my dad decides. I doubt he’ll let them stay though. You want coffee?”.

“Yeah. Do you really think they’re here to cause trouble?”. I wasn’t sure if Rocco was bluffing or not about what he said. I certainly wasn’t fair game.

“They haven’t yet but who knows. They’re not part of a pack for a reason and until we find that out we can’t trust them”.

“And what if they live in the town over?”.

“They’ll be free to do so just as long as they don’t come into our territory”.

“But the school is on this side”. I frowned.

“Sounds to me like you want them here”. She passed me my coffee.

“Maybe they just want a fresh start?”.

“We have rules that we have to follow Leah and until my dad says otherwise they aren’t welcome”.

“Okay”. I didn’t want to talk about it anymore. None of it was my decision, my opinion really didn’t matter. “Ryan asked if we wanted to go out on Friday”.

“Like out out?”. She asked.

“Could be fun”. I shrugged.

“Could be”. She grinned. “We could go for dinner first just us girls then go after?”.

“Sounds good”. I knew this would take her mind off Carter for a little bit.

“I heard your grans doing better”. We both were sat in the living room.

“For now yeah but I’m still annoyed she didn’t tell me how she was feeling”.

“Are your aunt and uncle staying long?”.

“No idea. Have you seen Carter?”.

“Briefly but things got heated between him and his dad and he stormed out. Jake went after him and I haven’t seen him since”.

“I’m sure it’ll be fine”. Honestly I didn’t know how it was going to go. If Carter went home Alanna would have to go with him. Regardless if she wanted to or not. They wouldn’t be able to be without each other.

“I hope you’re right because I really don’t want to leave my home”. Taking my empty cup she took it to the kitchen. “We’re mates Leah but this is my pack, I’m meant to be here”.

“”Just promise me”.

“I promise”.

…

I was home curled on the sofa in my pjs. Jake had took the pack to the training ground. He wasn’t satisfied, he wanted them all to prepare and be ready just in case something happened.

I didn’t think I was going to get out of going but as soon as it started to rain he sent me home. It was lashing it down, battering off the window.

My gran had texted to check in. Seems she’s doing much better and should be home in the next few days. Carter still hadn’t shown face.

Flicking through Netflix I sighed. Nothing caught my eye and I didn’t want to start a new series. I was bored but had nothing to do. Everyone was busy around here.

Scrolling through my phone I tapped his name bringing the phone to my ear.

“Sup shorty?”.

“You busy?”. I asked.

“Never busy when it comes to you”. He laughed. “Want me to come over?”.

“Where are you?”. I couldn’t invite him over if he was still with Rocco.

“On the highway”.

“Are you alone?”.

“What’s with the questions shorty?”.

“Just asking”. I hated that I couldn’t tell him the truth. I just hoped Rocco wasn’t using him.

“I’m alone. I’ll get pizza before I drop by”.

“Okay see you soon”.
