The Alpha Chose Me by Missy Elliottxo

My eyes were sore, and I could barely keep them open. He hadn't returned yet and it was almost midnight. Instead of going to bed I grabbed the blanket from the back of the couch and wrapped it around myself. Dimming the lights, I turned on the tv and rested my head against the cushion. Just as I thought I tossed and turned until a frustrated sigh fell from my lips. Where was he?

I wasn't sleeping anytime soon so I grabbed my car keys, slipped my shoes on and went to get myself a milkshake. The street was empty, but I expected as much at this time of night.

Passing Jake's parents' house, I noticed the living room light was on but there was no movement. It still didn't sit well with me on how tonight ended. Charlotte basically threw us out. There had been many disagreements with Jake and his dad before but never once had his mom stepped in. I wasn't even in the car 5 minutes and my phone started ringing. Carter.

Answering it I hit speakerphone.

"You're out late bear".

I rolled my eyes. I swear you couldn't do anything in this town without one of them knowing about it.

"You're up late". I replied.

He chuckled. "I'm on patrol".
