My Hot Alpha novel Chapter 72

“But you’re good?”. I wasn’t convinced that something hadn’t happened but I knew she would tell me when she was ready.

“Great”. She grinned. “How’s Texas treating you?”.

“It’s been”. Making a face I laughed. “It’s okay still going strong”.

“I can see that”. She glanced at my hand. “What the hell happened?”.

“I punched a guy in the face”. Sinking my teeth into my bottom lip I watched her eyes widen.

“You didn’t”.

“I did but everything is fine”.

“You broke your hand by punching a guy in the face but everything is fine”. Shaking her head she fell against my bed. “How did that even happen?”.

“It’s a long story”. I sighed. “But never mind that. I can’t believe you’re here. What’s your mom saying about it?”.

“She’s to wrapped up in the new boyfriend to care”. She sighed. “I’m surprised she’d even notice. I should have moved out here when you did”.

“I’m glad you’re here. My gran will love to see you”. I smiled just as there was a knock on my front door. “I’ll be back”. Pulling open my front door I froze.

“Dinner and dessert”. He smirked.

“Jake”. I smiled.

“Still wearing my clothes I see. You going to let me in princess?”.

Now this was a little awkward.

“Leah can I-.. Oh sorry”. She grinned. “I’m Lana”. She waved from the top of the stairs.

“Jake”. He nodded.

I felt terrible.

“Jake I-….”

“It’s okay babe we’ll do this another night. Take the goodies”. He winked.

“No you should keep-…”

“Have to make sure my girls eating”. He whispered. “See you soon princess”. Watching as he walked away I felt my stomach drop. I didn’t want him to leave.

“Who in the hell was that?”. She smirked taking the food from me. Closing the door I followed her into the living room.

“Jake”. I smiled.

“And?”. She grinned shoving a piece of pizza into her mouth.

“He lives further up the street”.

“And?”. She laughed.

“And we’ve been hanging out”. I said my grin matching hers.

“Exactly why my gran isn’t home yet. I was meant to stay with Alanna tonight but-…”

“Who’s Alanna?”. She asked cutting me off.

“Jakes sister”.

“So he has a sister but no brothers”. She groaned causing me to roll my eyes. She was always looking for a click somewhere.

“Afraid so”. I smiled. “Until they give the all clear we’re stuck here. I could see if Alanna is doing anything tonight”.

“Yeah do that. I’m going to freshen up”. She winked heading back up stairs. Following behind her I grabbed my phone from my bed. I wasn’t sure if Alanna would be out patrolling. Pressing her number I brought the phone to my ear.

“Hey girl, you’ve left your stuff here but Jake said you have company”.

“Hey yeah my best friend showed up. Crazy right”. I laughed.

“You can still come over just bring her with you. Jakes throwing a party”.

He was?

“What about the weather?”. I asked. If the road was closed how were people getting in? His house was already crammed with his pack.

“The storms over they’re opening the road back up. Everyone’s headed home. Come over I think we deserve a drink seeing as you survived your first week”. She laughed.

“I agree”. I laughed. “See you soon”.

Ending the call I couldn’t help the butterflies that erupted in my stomach. I was going to see him again.
