My Hot Alpha

The morning air was crisp and fresh. I was sat out back with my kindle and a cup of hot coffee. I had woken for the sunrise, unintentionally but I couldn't' get back to sleep.

I had my blanket wrapped around my shoulders and was enjoying the peacefulness of the silence around me. I used to do this all the time in my old house, and I had no idea why I stopped. I hadn't picked up my kindle in forever.

I took a sip of my coffee enjoying the sunrise as it peaked from behind the tall trees. The location of our house will always be one of my favorites'. I loved the open space and the comfort it gave me.

I don't know how long I was sat outside for, but I was on chapter nine of the girl on the train when Jake and my dad got home. He placed a kiss on my forehead before sitting down beside me. My dad nodded and smiled his hello before heading inside.

"How was last night?". He asked.

"Quiet. I ate pizza and watched tv. Carter dropped by".

"He did?". He frowned.

I nodded. "He seemed a bit off. Talking about gran and stuff".

"Saying what?".

"Honestly what I got from it was him wanting his family back together". And yes, maybe it did feel like he was pushing more for my grans side. Not that I would ever ask him to take sides. "Sometimes you just have to let everything play out and fix itself".

"Not this". I shook my head. "Not anymore. This had played out for long enough. We fix it tonight and we move on".

He grinned. "Do you still want me there

there with me". He was my safe place and if things went wrong then I know I'd have him there to back me up. But things weren't going to go wrong because I wouldn't let it. I've said it many times before I was done with this, and it was time it was put to bed. My gran wanted to be in my life then so be it.
