The Alpha Chose Me by Missy Elliottxo

Chapter 419

I woke to an empty house and a note. Jake and my dad had gone out a run and to show him around the pack grounds. I poured myself some coffee and was just about to sit down when there was a knock on the front door. A sigh fell from my lips, but I stopped with my hand on the door handle. What if it was my gran? I already told her I had plans today with Alanna. I wasn't against seeing her just not now. Not when I've just woken up. What was I doing? I was making this situation worse when I should be facing it head on. She was and always will be my gran. The guilt was eating me up at how I was dealing with this.

She may have hidden a lot of things, but she didn't deserve to be treated badly. She didn't raise me not to be kind and she did just that. She raised me. Freezing her out wasn't going to do anyone any good. I unlocked the door and pulled it open. My gran was stood with a basket of baked good and two takeout coffee cups.

"Gran". I frowned. "Is everything okay?". It was still early morning so for her to be here this early raised some concern.

"Is this a bad time?". She asked.

"No of course not". I moved to the side so she could get past. The baked goods she was carrying made my stomach growl. They smelled delicious.

"I wanted to see you". She placed the basket on the table. "I wanted to see if you were free to do some shopping later?".

"I'm not sure". I had lunch with Alanna and then dinner with my dad. My day was pretty much already planned out.

Her face fell and my stomach dropped. I suppose I could rearrange something and make it work.

"I have lunch plans with Alanna, but we could go shopping first if you would like?". I asked.
