The Alpha Chose Me by Missy Elliottxo

Swallowing the lump in my throat I tried to stop my heart from racing.

"Give us a minute?". He asked.

The girls scrambled, running like little girls.

"Take a walk with me?". He offered his hand.

"You asking or telling". I still couldn't bring myself to look at him. I was shaking inside with nerves and yeah maybe a little excitement.

I hadn't seen him in a month. It may not seem like a long time but to me it felt like a lifetime.

"Come on baby, look at me".

So I did. Our eyes locked, my hand on its own slipping into his. Instantly I felt it, our connection. The feeling of belonging.

I missed him.

He led me through the club, through the back area stopping at a door. Punching in a code I heard a click before he pushed the door open.

I had never been in here before.

"You want something to drink?". He asked closing the door once we were both inside.

"Vodka soda". I walked further into the room taking in my surroundings. A black leather sofa was pushed up against the back wall. A small kitchen area with a sink, a coffee machine and a fridge freezer. Nothing big, nothing special but we were after all in the back of a club.

"Ice?".

"Please".

He passed me my drink which I gladly took. "You want to sit down?".

I interrupted. "You need to be on my side. Your pack doesn't respect me and that's where I need you to step in. I'm your mate, their Luna. You have to show them that if they're disrespecting me then they're disrespecting you". I hadn't been fulfilling my duty and maybe
