The Alpha Chose Me by Missy Elliottxo

Third coffee of the day and it wasn't even 5am. I had been up for ages. Something felt different about today, I felt different.

The feeling in the pit of my stomach wouldn't shift. I slept fine last night, was out cold as soon as my head hit the pillow. But today, right now I felt really anxious. Was it because he was home?

Was I anxious because I wasn't sure if he would stay?

What if he up and left again?

He did it once before, what's stopping him from doing it again?

Running a hand over my face I groaned. I was thinking way too much into this. Jumping as my phone vibrated against the table the butterflies erupted in my stomach when I saw his name. 'Can't sleep?'

How did he know I was awake?

It wasn't light yet and my house was in darkness except the kitchen. Looking at my phone I could see he was typing again.

'Beach to watch the sunrise?'

I couldn't say no to that. He knew the beach was my weakness.

'Yes'

I took my hoodie from the washing pile and pulled it over my head. Tying my hair into a messy bun I grabbed my glasses putting them on.

Slipping my feet into my sneakers I poured the rest of my coffee down the sink before making my way outside.

He was already here. Leaning against his truck holding two coffees cups. Just looking at him made my heart feel full.

Was this the effects of our bond because we were connecting again? It was strong before but right now it felt stronger than ever.
