The Alpha Chose Me by Missy Elliottxo

I had been in bed for almost an hour staring at the same four walls. I hated being here alone, could never really sleep when I knew he wasn't home. What if something had happened to him?

Pushing the covers off I grabbed my phone a groan falling from my lips when I saw what time it was. How could he still be training at this time? Surely not, right? Or maybe he was doing the night patrol instead of Alanna? He still could have called though.

I made my way downstairs stopping when I noticed the kitchen light was on. I could have sworn I turned everything off. Taking a few more steps a sigh fell from my lips when I spotted him.

"F*****g Alanna". He muttered. "She refused to do patrol, and I wasn't going to let Rocco do it on his own".

"I thought as much but you could have called me". I sat opposite him. "You've been gone all night".

"I'm sorry babe it's just well she's f****d me off. Where does she get off refusing anything? She's just like everyone else and she has to take her turn. I'm going to see my dad tomorrow; she's not getting away with this". "Why do you put her on them when you know she hates it?". I asked.

"She doesn't get special treatment Leah".

"I don't think going to your dad is the answer. Talk to her and I mean talk don't shout at her. I don't think she's having the best time right now". "She's not?". He frowned. "What's going on?".

I shrugged. "But maybe when you talk to her do it as her brother and not her future Alpha".
