The Alpha Chose Me by Missy Elliottxo

For once I didn't wake with what felt like the world on my shoulders. For the first time in a long time, I was excited about the day ahead. I was awake with the birds had already showered and was currently sitting on the porch watching the sun rise. I did plan to go for a run, but the weather wasn't great. It wasn't raining but the sky didn't look promising, and I didn't want to chance it. I finished what was in my cup before heading back inside.

Jake was still asleep, but I know he didn't get in until late. After he dropped me home, he went back out to do the night patrol with Rocco. Speaking of Rocco night patrol is all he seemed to do.

Maybe he preferred it? I don't know. Sighing I washed out my cup leaving it to dry on the dish rack. I was excited about tonight but a little nervous to. I had never patrolled through the night before. Come to think of it I'd never patrolled at all.

No, nope. I was not going to do that today. I wasn't going to overthink something that hadn't happened yet. I was going to show Jake and everyone else that I could do this and that I was capable.
