My Hot Alpha novel Chapter 320

I was sat staring into space when Jake got home. Too busy thinking about Carter and playing scenarios over in my head before they had even happened. Jake wasn’t alone he had brought Alanna with him.

“Hey girl”. She sat herself beside me. “You do realise the tv is on mute right?”.

“You have to go with him. You can’t let him do this on his own”. My eyes landed on hers. “It’s not fair and you know it”.

“I’m thinking about it. I have until Monday”.

I made a face. He was her mate, her life, they shared a bond. Was there much to think about. I could feel my heart racing. Carter was my family, my blood and right now he was pulling the short straw.

He wanted to make everyone happy but if she decided not to go it will ruin him.

“What would you say if I was in this situation with Jake?”. I got off the sofa I felt the need to create some space. “You’d beg me to go right?”.

“Leah I-…”.

“He’s your fucking mate and you have to think about whether you want to go be with him or not?”. I was getting worked up, too worked up for something that was nothing to do with me, but I was pissed off.

“Hey what’s going on?”. Jake was in front of me taking my hands in his.

“Let go of me”. I pulled them back and moved away from him. “He’s trying to make everyone happy, but he can’t. He has to go home because it’s the right thing to do. The least you can do is support him”. It wasn’t until I tasted the saltiness of my tears that I realised I was crying.

Pot kettle black.

He shifted in front of me shorts strapped to his ankle like always but the minute he got close I growled. I wasn’t angry at him, but I was angry, and I couldn’t seem to let it go. All he would tell me was it was none of my business, but it was when it came to my family.

He was doing the same thing with Alanna. Telling her she didn’t need to go if she didn’t want to. Someone had to fight for Carter and that was me.

He took a step back and was surprisingly calm. Watching him I turned my head to the side and whined before laying my head on my paws.

“Are you in control?”. He spoke.
