My Hot Alpha

I stood on the path waving them off. They were finally gone. Leaving to set up life together in another pack. I chewed the inside of my cheek as I swallowed the lump in my throat.

I didn't cry and I wasn't going to. This was the best thing for Carter and Alanna. A fresh start, time to build a life and family of their own.

Jake's hand slipped into mine and it took everything in me not to pull away. We hadn't talked much, not the conversation we needed to have anyway. I felt deflated, part of me wanted to give up. I was sick to death of feeling this way. "Are you okay?". He asked.

"I'm going to head home". I spoke.

"Then we'll go home".

"We need to talk Jake".

"I know and I promised we would".

"We should say goodbye to your mom". Everyone had already headed back inside to enjoy the rest of the party.

"She'll know we've went home. I'll call her later".

He didn't let go of my hand and as much as I wanted to stay mad, I didn't have the energy to. I was done. I was tired of always feeling left in the dark. I thought everything was falling into place. I thought once we mated it would be different, but nothing changed. I was still none the wiser about the world I had been thrust into.

Reaching our house, I wasn't ready to go inside yet. The sun was setting, the air around us becoming cool nighttime approaching. I loved watching the sun rise but it sure was beautiful when it was setting for the night.
