The Alpha Chose Me by Missy Elliottxo

I was hot, sweating actually. Peeling my eyes open I jumped when I realised I was no longer in my bedroom. His grip around my waist tightened as he pulled me closer.

"Go back to sleep princess it's late".

"What happened?". I whispered.

"Nothing happened baby. You fell asleep so I brought you to mine".

"You carried me?". How did I not wake up? Or at least feel him move me?

"I did". He lifted his head from the pillow and even though it was dark I could see the hint of his smirk.

"What time is it?". I asked.

"Almost 1".

I had been sleeping for hours.

He lay his head back down and slipped his arm over and around my waist. "Go back to sleep. I'll wake you for school in the morning".

So I did. My full body relaxed against him as I drifted back to sleep.
