The Alpha Chose Me by Missy Elliottxo

"I think my gran moved us here for that reason. I think she knew I was Jake's mate or at least she had an idea". I was always suspicious as to why we just up and left so quickly. I mean who pulls their granddaughter out of school with only 6 months left? "Maybe". She shrugged. "But aren't you glad you moved and met me?". Her grin was contagious. Alanna had been cocky, straight up, no bullshit from the first day we met. That's what I loved about her. "Obviously". I winked.

"You are happy here aren't you?".

"I'm happy. This is where I'm supposed to be".

As we were driving home I received a message from Lana asking if she could see me before I left. Truth was I didn't want to. I didn't want to leave here angry or upset. Whatever she wanted to say could wait until I was back.

"Do you believe her?".

"It's not that I don't believe her it's just". I paused.

"Is that a good idea?". She asked.

"I don't want to".

"Then don't".
