Okay so I didn’t exactly go straight to his moms. I stopped off at the coffee shop for something sweet and a cappuccino.
Rocco’s sister was working, and the devil himself was sat at the counter. He smirked as soon as he saw me.
“Finally out of detention then?”.
I sat on the seat beside him placing my bag on the counter.”A lot quicker thanks to you”. I grinned. “What were you doing in the library after school anyway?”.
“Miss Young is hot”. He grinned.
“You’re disgusting”. His sister glared. “What can I get for you Leah?”.
A laugh fell from my lips. “Can I get a cappuccino and chocolate brownie to go please”. I felt bad that I didn’t even know her name.
“Sure thing”. She smiled.
“What’s your sisters name?”. I whispered.
“Reign, her name is Reign”.
“I like it”. I smiled. “Rocco and Reign”.
“Aye alright”. He rolled his eyes. “You got detention tomorrow?”.
“For the next two weeks”. I sighed.
“Oh bummer”.
“Yeah! Two weeks with Mr Gallagher”.
“What’s his deal?”.
“What do you mean?”.
“There’s something about him. I noticed the way he was looking at you today”.
“Don’t you start”. I made a face.
“So I’m not the only one that’s noticed”. He smirked. “Jake know?”.
“There’s nothing Jake needs to know. You just need to get your mind out the gutter”.
“Who else has noticed?”. He asked.
A sigh fell from my lips. “Jake’s sister”. I don’t even know why I was telling him this. For some reason it was easy to talk to him.
“Alanna?”.
“Rylee”.
“Looks like I’m not the one Jake should be worried about”. He winked.
“Oh shut up”. I grinned mgrabbing some money from my pocket and putting it on the counter. “And why are you so concerned about Jake all of a sudden?”.
“Because he’s my new soon to be Alpha”. He grinned.
What?
“His dad said we could stay, invited us to join the pack”.
“He did?”.
How come I was just finding this out?
….
It was quiet when I pulled up. Turning off my engine I got out making my way up his parents drive. I still couldn’t get over the size of their house.
Biggest on the street. My favourite part still being the floor length windows looking out onto the back garden. I couldn’t wait to experience it in winter with snow on the ground.
I could here music but it wasn’t loud enough for me to freak out. I didn’t want to walk into a party I knew nothing about. I also didn’t notice that it was only Jake’s truck parked outside.
Just as I was about to knock the door was pulled open and I was being pulled through it.
“What the hell?”. I yelled falling against his chest.
“Where the fuck have you been?”. He growled his grip tightening.
He knew, he knew about Rocco.
“You’re hurting me”.
“Were you with him?”. He snarled his canines extending, the colour of his eyes darkening.
A hiss fell from my lips, my eyes being drawn to the pain, blood. His claws were fully extended, one catching the inside of my wrist. “You’re hurting me”. I whimpered.
A growl tore from his mouth as he let me go. “You’re seriously testing my fucking patience Leah. I told you not to go near him and what do you do. You go get fucking coffee with him”. He was pacing the hallway and I couldn’t hide my fear.
He was scaring me, the recklessness, he couldn’t be tamed when he was like this.
“I didn’t go for coffee with him”. I couldn’t believe how weak my voice sounded. My insides shaking with fear. I didn’t like how small he made me feel.
“Don’t fucking lie to me”. He snarled causing a cry to fall from my lips. I couldn’t control it, I fell to my knees my head bowed.
