The Alpha Chose Me

I wasn't sure how I was feeling. My stomach was in knots, I wasn't sure what he was going to say. Did I have a reason to be nervous? I made some tea and was now sitting on the sofa waiting for him to start.

"Please remember that I love you, I want to be with you. You are my mate, my partner and one day you'll become my wife".

I frowned. But I was going to let him explain to me why Jessica was the way she was. For so long she believed that her and Jake were meant to be. Still does according to her text messages. "Okay". I nodded. "And I love you". I added.

He smiled. "It'll always be you Leah".

And then he began to tell me his story, his past even.

"Jessica and her family have been a part of our pack for as long as I can remember. We kinda grew up together even though I'm older we all used to hang around together as kids".

I think I knew where this was going but I kept quiet and let him continue.

"I was meant to find you when I turned sixteen. You're supposed to find your mate when you turn sixteen, but I didn't find you until I was twenty-four".

"We lived in different states". I spoke.

"I know baby, but 8 years is a long time. I didn't think I'd ever find you".Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

"So, if you didn't find me you were to be mated to Jessica, right?".

It was all starting to make sense now. She hated me from the minute I moved here. All the petty things she did, all the whispering and sly comments. She was jealous but more so upset because I ruined her chance to be mated to Jake. How would that work if they weren't destined to be together? Surely, Jessica had a mate out there also.

"Our parents thought it was for the best. She's a strong wolf, it would have been the best move for the pack".

"And when was this supposed to happen?".

Like he said he waited 8 years to find me. 8 years was long enough for him to mate, to settle down, to marry even and yet he didn't.

"After she graduated". He spoke.

A laugh fell from my lips. "If I never moved here, you'd be mated to Jessica and playing happy families". I placed my hand over my stomach. I wasn't angry but I was a little annoyed.

Did I even have a right to be annoyed?

"No Leah it would have been for the benefit of the pack. I can't run the pack without a Luna. No happy families, no nothing. If I never met, you I'd be living an unhappy life with a girl I can't stand". "But you slept with her".

"I slept with a lot of girls, but you must understand until I met you, I was never satisfied. I felt empty, I was empty. Having sex was a release for me".

"Lovely". The thought of him with other girls made me feel uncomfortable. I didn't like the idea of anyone being intimate with him but me. But everyone had a past, and he was giving me a little bit of his.
