My Hot Alpha novel Chapter 64

“When an Alpha finds their mate it’s a pretty big deal”.

“Wait, I thought your dad was Alpha?”.

“When he steps down the title will become mine. You will stand by my side, you will become my Luna, you will help me run our pack”.

“Jake-… I-.”.

“You need some time to process babe and that’s okay. I’ll give you that time but just so you know I’m not going anywhere. Now that you have acknowledged the bond it’ll be harder to stay apart”.

He needed to slow down and stop talking. My mind was going into overdrive.

“Can I ask you something?”.

“Anything princess. I will always be honest with you”.

“If you’ve always known there was someone out there for you why did you sleep with all those girls?”. Even asking the question made me cringe. It wasn’t any of my business before but now it was.

“I’m twenty four I didn’t think I’d ever find you. Usually when you turn eighteen that’s when it’s supposed to happen but for me it didn’t. Could say I needed something to keep me occupied”.

At least he was honest.

“And now?”. I asked sinking my teeth into my bottom lip.

“I am as much yours as you are mine”. He growled. “There will only ever be you Leah. I don’t want or need anyone else”.

“I don’t like it when girls touch you”. At least now I knew why I felt the rage within me. “I don’t get jealous Jake but I did, I do”. I whispered. I had never been the jealous type but with him the slightest thing got to me.

“You don’t have to be jealous babe I-…”

“But you get jealous to. Ryan is my friend, you’ve been with most of the girls that hate me”. Pushing the covers off I swung my legs over the side of my bed. My brain wouldn’t shut off after everything I have learned tonight. “You don’t see the way they look at me. Threatening me when I’m out for coffee. It’s horrible and there is only so much I can take before I snap”.

“Babe-…”

“No Jake”. Cutting him off I got to my feet switching on my bedside lamp. “If they hated me before then they’ll despise me now. They could hurt me”.

He growled, snarled even. My heart pounded against my chest.

“They hurt you they’ll die”. His teeth were clenched, his eyes slanted.

“Don’t be ridiculous”. I sighed rubbing a hand down my face.

“What did you just say to me?”. He snapped pushing the covers off and jumping out of bed. “This isn’t ridiculous Leah, your life isn’t ridiculous. If anyone was to hurt you then-…”

It was like I had been hit with cold water. What was I doing? Pulling my hand back I put some distance between us. Did I really just have my hand in his boxers?

Oh god.

Sinking my teeth into my bottom lip I tried my hardest not to laugh. I laughed when I was nervous and when I put myself into weird situations.

“Leah”. As he took a step towards me I put my hand up. I was embarrassed. I had made a fool of myself by attempting to seduce him. I wasn’t sure if that’s what I was doing.

“You should go”. He didn’t need to know I was embarrassed.

“Babe don’t-..”

“Just go Jake”. I was so stupid in thinking he would want that. I was stupid for even trying, I was jumping in and it back fired.

“It’s 3am princess I’m going nowhere”. My mouth fell open as I watched him climb back into bed. Smirking at me he patted my side . “You just going to stand there or are you getting in?”.

Rolling my eyes I turned off my light and climbed back in. He was so smug at times, I wanted to punch him. Rolling onto my side I turned away from him and closed my eyes. He matched my movements, his arm sliding over my stomach pulling me closer to him.

“Jake what-…”

“Just go to sleep princess”. He grunted.
