The Alpha Chose Me by Missy Elliottxo

"Hey I'm on your side but he is still my brother".

Drying myself off I about turned slipping my pj shorts on before I dropped the towel. Pulling the shirt over my head I faced her. "What do you want me to say Rylee?". "It's sad that it's came down to this. He's lost the best thing he'll ever have". She pulled out her phone.

"Yes and he's to blame. I have no part in this, I'm not at fault here".

"Can you at least talk to him?". She was typing away on her phone. "Even let him explain".

"Has West arrived yet?". That caught her attention, her head snapping up in my direction.

"He's staying at my moms".

"Why haven't you accepted him?". Why didn't she want to be mated?

Her features changed, her frown evident. "Because he did to me what Jake did to you. Only he did much worse. I was young, I was fourteen when I first met him". "So the whole giving up your freedom was bullshit?". I asked.

"West is 4 years older than me. I was a stupid, spotty, fat kid. He was next in line to be Alpha, he couldn't be seen with the likes of me".

"You're mates an Alpha?".

"From the neighbouring pack". She smiled. "No one knew but Jake, he's my twin so of course he knew. He didn't reject me and I didn't reject him but he didn't want me either". She shrugged. "No wonder you haven't accepted him. I wouldn't either". Poor Rylee.

"He graduated from high school and left for college. The day I graduated high school was the day he returned".

I was so engrossed in her story. I didn't like that she had been hurt but I loved that she was a strong, independent woman.

"He just up and left?". I frowned.

"He didn't need me when he was getting it from everywhere else. I learned to live without him. After all I was just a kid". "What happened at graduation?".

"He was coming back to take his place, his dad stepping down. My dad and his were old friends, they grew up together".

"Go on".

She laughed as I sat on the end of my bed. "I didn't know he was back home. I wasn't the same kid I was when he left. I had blossomed everywhere possible, I was 18".

"What did he do when he saw you?".
