My Hot Alpha
Chpater 125

"Only the best for my girl". He winked sitting on the chair across from me. "How was the gas station?".

"I met Joe". I grinned.

"I heard. Do I have competition?". He laughed causing me to roll my eyes. I didn't replace that funny. "Seems you got on really well".

"We did. He's the sweetest and the first one who hasn't judged me". His smiled dropped, our eye contact broken. "The first one to actually be nice to me". Taking a bit of my burger I watched his features change, his eyes darken.

He didn't like how I went about this. He didn't like when I spoke about his pack but he had no idea the effect it had on me.

They were mean and yeah it hurt.

"My family like you, my mom adores you". Getting up from his seat he fetched my milkshake. "I think she likes you more than me".

"That's not what I mean". Taking a sip of my milkshake I felt the coldness against my teeth. "I love your mom, I love you're family and never once have they made me feel like an outsider".

"You're not an outsider Leah". He sighed.

And this is usually when we get into it but not tonight because I wasn't doing it. I wasn't arguing with him.

"I am but that's okay. They're going to continue to do it". Continuing to eat my fries I keep my gaze on my plate. Regardless if they continued to treat me like one I wasn't going anywhere. "So how was your day?". I asked finally looking at him. He was gripping the table, his teeth clenched.

"What?". I asked.

"Do you think I like how they treat you?".

"It doesn't matter". I sighed.

Pushing my plate away I suddenly wasn't hungry anymore. We were about to get into it and I didn't want that. I shouldn't have said anything.

"It fucking does matter Leah. Dammit". He hissed banging his fist off the table.

"If it mattered you would have done something about it". The way his eyes changed to black so quickly made me want to take my words back. I had never seen them change so fast.

I wasn't helping the situation, Only adding fuel to the fire but I couldn't help it. The words kept on coming, I had word vomit. "Girls harassing me, older women making me feel like I'm not good enough. But it's okay because I'm strong". Rolling my eyes I got to my feet. "I'm going to the bathroom". I needed an excuse to get out of there. I would only make it worse if I kept going.

As I reached the bathroom I locked the door behind me. Taking a deep breath I splashed some cold water onto my face. I felt the lump in my throat before the tears rolled down my cheeks.

I had no idea why I was crying.

I didn't care what anyone thought I never had but I wanted to feel accepted by them. I couldn't help lead a pack if they didn't accept me. I couldn't become their Luna if they didn't respect me. They would never respect me or follow me if they didn't accept me. What would that mean for the pack?

From my time being here I've learned that when an Alpha replaces his mate it's big news, it's special. A ceremony happens and packs from all over visit. But what I didn't understand was why go through all of that if people from his pack didn't want us together. Wiping my face I unlocked the door and went back down the stairs. He was sat at the table nursing a whiskey. I didn't like the awkwardness I felt.

This was always going to be an issue.

Going to the fridge I pulled out a beer twisting the cap off and taking a drink. I could feel him staring but he said nothing.

"This is always going to be an issue Jake". I broke the silence. I didn't like that we seemed to have this conversation every time we were together.

"It won't always be like this". Knocking back the liquid in his glass he poured another.

"It shouldn't be like this at all. All because I'm not a werewolf". Taking another sip of my beer I could feel myself becoming frustrated. I didn't choose for any of this to happen. I was thrust into his world with no warning. "Maybe you'll be better off with someone else".

"Don't you fucking dare say that again". He growled getting to his feet. He got up with so much force he knocked the chair over. "Are you trying to make me shift?".

"What, no". I cried as he pulled to to my feet by my arm. "You're hurting me". I hissed my teeth clenched.

"You're lucky I'm not taking you over my knee". He growled his grip tightening.

"Where are you taking me?". I asked as he escorted me out the kitchen stopping at the bottom of the stairs. Without warning he picked me up throwing me over his shoulder. "Jake". I yelled thumping my fist against his back.

Kicking his bedroom door open he threw me onto his bed before crawling up my body. Pinning my arms above my head he rested between my legs.

"Don't tell me to replace someone else, don't tell me that you're not enough for me. You are mine Leah, mine, do you understand?". His eyes were changing, his teeth extending. "I will never want anyone else". He whispered inhaling deeply. "F**k baby your scent, the way you smell". He groaned.

"You say that now Jake but-...."

"Enough". He snapped. "I don't want to hear anymore about it. You're enough baby, trust me you're enough". Instead of rolling off me he lay his head against my stomach. My body relaxed my hands replaceing their way into his hair.

I had no idea how long we lay there. No words were exchanged instead we both enjoyed the silence of being in each other's company.
