My Hot Alpha novel Chapter 272

I went inside and made my way into the living room. Jake wasn’t here but I could hear the shower running and music playing from upstairs. I grinned as the thought of joining him entered my mind.

We had never showered together before.

I kicked my shoes off and pulled my top over my head as I made my way upstairs. He was in the main bathroom which I thought was weird. He only ever used the main bathroom if I was using ours.

I trusted him but that didn’t stop me bursting in like a mad woman and believe me when I say I tripped over my feet getting the hell out of there.

Jack was in our bathroom taking a shower.

I saw Jack naked.

I saw everything.

My heart racing, my face scarlet I chewed the inside of my cheek as I flicked the lock on our room door. I was embarrassed.

This wasn’t good.

“Leah, what’s happened, are you okay?”. He was in front of me within seconds. Fresh out the shower a towel wrapped around his waist.

“I thought you were in the main bathroom”.

“Why would-…”. He paused. “Where’s your top?”.

“On the stairs”. I chewed my bottom lip. “I think you should go check on Jack”.

A laugh fell from his lips as he grabbed me around my waist. “Did you walk in there thinking it was me?”.

“It’s not funny”. I buried my face against his chest. “And why is Jack here this early?”.

“He’s on night patrol”. He kissed the top of my head.

“Doesn’t he have a home?”. I wasn’t mad just really embarrassed. Jack wasn’t the easiest person to get along with. Now it was just going to be awkward.

“Him and Lacey aren’t exactly on speaking terms”.

Speaking of Lacey, I hadn’t seen much of her. In fact, I hadn’t seen her since the night we left for the cabin. “Again? What’s he done this time?”.

“I don’t know Leah, but we don’t get involved in other people’s business. Let them sort it out themselves”.

Yeah, I don’t think so. That may be how boys deal with it but us girls stick together.

“I’ve got eyes and ears everywhere baby. Are you worried about all of this?”. He sat on the edge of the bed. “Nobody will ever hurt you, Leah. That I can promise”.

I wish everyone would stop asking me if I was worried. I was just curious as to what other people thought about the situation.

“You know I can take care of myself”.

“Leah”.

“No Jake I’m not worried”. I rolled my eyes as I sat up. “But I’m glad she’s gone. She didn’t exactly make it easy for me no matter how many times I tried to befriend her. She got what she deserved now can we talk about something else?”.

“My mom wants us to go over for lunch”.

My stomach tightened. Would my dad be there? That’s not how I wanted to do this. I didn’t want anyone else involved. I had to make up my own mind without anyone’s influence.

I had to do this by myself.

“Hey”. He moved closer to me and reached for my hand. “They just want to help, please let them”.

“Fine but I do this my way. When I finally meet with him, I want to do it alone”.
