The Alpha Chose Me by Missy Elliottxo

I was emotionally drained.

My body ached all over and I couldn't stop crying. This was only day one, how was I going manage five days of this? How would I be feeling if Jake wasn't here? If he decided to go through with his little plan. I dread to think.

He drove me home never once letting go of my hand. We didn't talk but every so often I would feel him staring. He f****d up, again, and he knew it. I wasn't angry, I didn't have the energy for that right now. I wanted to crawl into bed and sleep for the next five days. I wanted it to be over because I knew it was only going to get worse.

As he pulled into the drive way I wiped at my face making sure my tears weren't visible. I prayed everyone had already left. I didn't want to face anyone in this state.

"Are you hungry?". He stroked his thumb over my knuckles.

"I just want to go to bed".

"Leah".

"I'm not hungry".

He let go of my hand and as soon as he did, I got out and headed inside. Maybe being locked in my room for the next five days wasn't such a bad idea. At least then I wouldn't have to talk to anyone.

I kicked off my shoes and went to get some water before heading upstairs. He had yet to get out of the car. Probably thinking of ways on how to approach the subject or at least make up some petty excuses.

I stripped naked as soon as I was in our bedroom. My skin burned, the clothes making me very uncomfortable. As soon as the coolness from the sheets touched my skin a sigh fell from my lips.

I didn't sleep naked, didn't like it but right now I was in heaven.

I lay my head against the pillows and closed my eyes.

"Baby" ...

"No". I groaned.

I wasn't in pain; I had a little discomfort but nothing I couldn't handle. But I wasn't moving from this bed. For the first time today, I felt relaxed. I was comfortable, my body was comfortable. I wasn't moving for nobody. A chuckle fell from his lips. I couldn't see him but I knew he was standing at the foot of the bed. "There's fresh water and some painkillers on the bedside drawers. Please take them and please stay hydrated".

I made sure to keep the cover secure. The need for him could
