My Hot Alpha

Protecting

me.

He seen anyone as a threat. Including his own father.

This wasn't going to work. I had a life, I had school, I had friends. Not being able to leave my house without a chaperone was ridiculous.

"I need to keep you safe". He whispered.

I didn't think I wasn't safe until now but I wasn't going to argue about it. I didn't want to be chaperoned everywhere but if it kept him calm I was willing to try anything.

"I think you should move in here until I know more about what's going on". His grip tightened on my waist. "It might be nothing and they may just be passing through but I can't chance it until I know for sure". How could I say no to that. It's not as if my gran wanted me there anyway.

"Will you keep me in the loop with what's going on?". I asked.

"Will you stay here and let me keep you safe?". I hated when he answered a question with a question.

"Until you know what's going on yes".

"Go back to bed I won't be long down here".

"Okay then". As he bent to kiss my forehead my eyes closed. I wasn't going to be difficult about this. I wasn't going to put myself in danger.

"Goodnight Leah"....

"Night Jacob"....

I was asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. I didn't hear him come to bed, didn't feel him pull me close.

I was dead to the world.

....

When I woke the next morning I already knew he wasn't beside me. His side of the bed cold. Opening my eyes I grabbed my phone groaning when I saw it was noon.

I had several messages from my gran. One warning me I better be at school. I had slept a good few hours and yet it felt like I hadn't slept at all. My eyes still heavy, a headache approaching.

Pushing the covers off a yawn escaped my mouth. I didn't want to get up. I could have easily pulled the covers over my head and went back to sleep.

I could hear movement from downstairs. Voices alerting me that we weren't alone. After visiting the bathroom and washing my face I raked his drawers for a pair of sweats. Bunching them up at the waist I tied his T-shirt into a knot at the back. His clothes were too damn big.

My contacts were scratching my eyes and my glasses were in my bag I had left at his parents. Already I couldn't see this day far enough. Ignoring the sicky feeling in my stomach I left the room making my way downstairs.

"Afternoon sweetheart". Charlotte was already handing me a mug of coffee. "Sleep well?". She asked.

I wanted to know where she got her energy.

"I did". I smiled. "What's going on?". I felt a little out of place. Pack members were everywhere, a few I still hadn't been introduced to. Not to mention I was stood dressed in Jake's clothes.

"You must be Leah?". An older lady approached me. I didn't miss the way she looked me up and down.

Did the older generation have an issue with me also?

"You're a beautiful little thing dear but the question is, are you good enough for our Alpha?". She smiled.

"The question you should be asking is if he's good enough for me?". I had no idea where that came from but when I glanced at Charlotte and saw her smile I was glad I said it.

"Excuse me?". All traces of her smile gone.

"You heard what I said. What if your Alpha isn't good enough for me. You don't seem to have a problem with telling me what you think so here's what I think. What Jake and I do or have is no one's business but know one thing. I am good enough, I will be good enough and if you don't like it then I suggest you keep your mouth shut and your opinions to yourself".

I had word vomit. Once I started I couldn't seem to stop. "And another thing. He may be your Alpha but he is my mate and one day I will be your Luna. If you can't accept that then I can't force you but I will not stand here and be belittled by you or anyone else. Now if you'll excuse me". I may have been out of line but it was time I said something. I wasn't letting anyone disrespect me or put me down anymore. Regardless of who it was.

Removing myself from the situation was for the best. I was stood by the windows looking out into the forest. My body was shaking from the inside. I would never disrespect my elders or anyone for that matter but I was sick of standing by and doing nothing. I wasn't a pushover and it's about time everyone knew it.

"Ignore that old witch". Charlotte rolled her eyes as she placed her hand on my arm. "I'm proud of you and you'll be one hell of a Luna".

"They're never going to accept me". Taking a sip of my coffee I felt my stomach tighten. It was getting old and I was done listening to the bullshit.

"Jake accepts you sweetheart and I can't wait for you to become my daughter in law. They'll fall in line soon enough".

I hope she was right because I wasn't going anywhere and it's about time I made my place known.
