The Alpha Chose Me by Missy Elliottxo

I snot cried, ugly cried even.

"You, okay?". Jake kissed the top of my head.

I excused myself from the kitchen and went to the bathroom to clean myself up. He found me on the stairs.

I had so much love for his family. They accepted me as one of their own from the moment I became his mate.

"Your family are so nice". I whispered.

"They're your family too baby". His grip around my waist tightened. "You're my family". He brushed his nose against mine.

"I feel embarrassed". They had all seen me cry before, but this time was different. I was crying out of love. The gift from his mom set me off.

They appreciated me, accepted me, and loved me.

"Don't be". He kissed my forehead.

"I have to thank her for my gift". It was sitting on the kitchen table where I left it. "I don't want her to think I hate it".

A laugh fell from his lips. "Always thinking about other people's feelings". His grip around my waist loosened. "Come on". He led me down the stairs and into the kitchen.

"Oh, sweetheart I didn't mean to make you cry". Charlotte pulled me in for a hug. Her hugs were so motherly, her arms comforting. It made me not want to let go.

"I love the necklace". I pulled back. "Thank you for letting me become part of your family". I was lucky.

"You're so welcome sweetheart. I meant every word. You are our family now Leah and we take care of our own".

"Our sister". Alanna added.

"I'm going to put the bags in the car". Jake said.

I glanced at Alanna only to be met with a smirk. "Did you pack the sexy panties?".

"Maybe". I grinned. "But can we not talk about-...".

"Girls". Charlotte cleared her throat before her eyes landed on mine. I felt the heat rise from my neck onto my face. "Tonight, is a special night for you and Jake. Take your time and enjoy every moment. I remember when-...". "No, nope. Mom". Rylee made a face. "Do not put those visions into my head, please".

A laugh fell from Charlotte's lips. "Gets them every time". She took my hand in hers. "Thank you for sticking by my son". she whispered.

"Babe you ready?". Jake asked.
