The Alpha Chose Me by Missy Elliottxo

I slept and when I woke Jake wasn't beside me. Reaching for my phone I groaned. It was almost 1 o'clock. I had slept the morning away. Pushing the covers off I grabbed his hoodie and slipped it over my head. I had already decided I wasn't doing anything today.

I wasn't even planning on getting dressed or showered.

Getting out of bed I headed downstairs. To my surprise Charlotte was sat at the table a coffee in hand and a paper in front of her.

The nerves started to creep in. She could only be here for one reason. My dad.

"Coffee is hot sweetheart. You feeling okay?".

I got a mug and poured myself some. She asked a question I couldn't answer because I wasn't sure if I was okay.

"Come sit, I'll make you some lunch".

I wasn't hungry but I didn't want to be rude. As I sat down she got to her feet making her way around the kitchen.

"Does my son ever do a food shop?". She sighed. "How do you two survive".

I shrugged. We had never done a food shop. In fact we had never cooked food here before. Weird.

"What do you say I treat you to lunch in town?". She asked.

"I'm not really feeling up to it today". I didn't have the energy to do anything. I wanted to sit myself on the couch and not move unless I had to.

I did find it weird that she hadn't mentioned my gran leaving. I knew everyone would be aware of it now.

"You know I'm here if you need to talk honey. I'm not going to pry because it's none of my business but when you're ready please come to me".

I took a sip of my coffee giving her a nod. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on .net. Visit .net to read the complete chapters for free. I didn't want to come off as rude but I just couldn't be bothered anymore. I was sick of putting on a front or hiding my feelings when I really wasn't okay.

"Do you have much planned for today?". She asked.

I shook my head. "Not really, I'm just going to stay in and chill out".

"Sounds like a good plan". She smiled. "Jake told me you went to the training ground the other day".

I sighed. "We spent
