My Hot Alpha novel Chapter 216

I slept and when I woke Jake wasn’t beside me. Reaching for my phone I groaned. It was almost 1 o’clock. I had slept the morning away.

Pushing the covers off I grabbed his hoodie and slipped it over my head. I had already decided I wasn’t doing anything today.

I wasn’t even planning on getting dressed or showered.

Getting out of bed I headed downstairs. To my surprise Charlotte was sat at the table a coffee in hand and a paper in front of her.

The nerves started to creep in. She could only be here for one reason. My dad.

“Coffee is hot sweetheart. You feeling okay?”.

I got a mug and poured myself some. She asked a question I couldn’t answer because I wasn’t sure if I was okay.

“Come sit, I’ll make you some lunch”.

I wasn’t hungry but I didn’t want to be rude. As I sat down she got to her feet making her way around the kitchen.

“Does my son ever do a food shop?”. She sighed. “How do you two survive”.

I shrugged. We had never done a food shop. In fact we had never cooked food here before. Weird.

“What do you say I treat you to lunch in town?”. She asked.

“I’m not really feeling up to it today”. I didn’t have the energy to do anything. I wanted to sit myself on the couch and not move unless I had to.

I did find it weird that she hadn’t mentioned my gran leaving. I knew everyone would be aware of it now.

“You know I’m here if you need to talk honey. I’m not going to pry because it’s none of my business but when you’re ready please come to me”.

I took a sip of my coffee giving her a nod. I didn’t want to come off as rude but I just couldn’t be bothered anymore. I was sick of putting on a front or hiding my feelings when I really wasn’t okay.

“Do you have much planned for today?”. She asked.

I shook my head. “Not really, I’m just going to stay in and chill out”.

“Sounds like a good plan”. She smiled. “Jake told me you went to the training ground the other day”.

“Waste of time”. I sighed. “We spent hours out there and got no results”.

“It’ll happen Leah, she’ll come out when you least expect it. Do you need me to grab you anything when I’m out?”.

I wanted to say wine but thought better of it. “No thank you I’m okay”.

“Okay then sweetie I’m going to leave you to it. If you do need anything and I mean anything just give me a call”. She did something she’s never done before. She kissed the top of my head.

“I’ll see you later”.

As soon as I heard the front door close I took my coffee into the living room and planted myself in front of the tv. I had no idea where Jake was or anyone else for that matter.

Going through my phone I was scrolling through Facebook when it began to vibrate. I did wonder how long it would take for him to call me.

“Hey”..

“Hey baby you okay?”.

I know he worried about me but I wish he was stop asking that. I wish everyone would.

“Yeah”.

“You sure?”.

“Where are you?”. I asked.

“At the training ground. You fancy coming down for a bit?”.

I didn’t but I suppose it was better than sitting about wallowing in self pity. Poor little me, poor little Leah.

“Hey”. I frowned.

Again he nudged.

“Jake”. Did he realise how strong he was?

“He’s telling you to go inside”. Jacob chuckled.

“Oh, okay then”.

“He’ll be there in a second. Help yourself to a warm drink”.

I helped myself to some tea and took a seat in the office. He wasn’t here in a second more like half an hour. Strolling through the door in nothing but a pair of shorts.

“Enjoy your run?”. He asked.

“I did. Why’s everyone turned wolf?”.

“Stretching their legs baby”.

I laughed. “Shut up”.

He smirked. “We do this every so often. It’s good to get everyone together as a pack”.

“Why didn’t you wake me?”. I frowned.

“I did baby three times. All you keep saying was you’re up. By the time I came out the shower you were snoring your little head off”.

“I was not”. Take a sip of my tea my smile matched his.

“Can I take you out tonight?”.

“Yes, yes you can”.
