My Hot Alpha
Chpater 154

Lunch time came around and he wasn't back yet. Who runs for hours at a time?

Rylee had left to go grab some things for tonight. I had showered and was patiently waiting for him to return. Making myself another coffee I grabbed my phone as it started ringing. "Hello"...

"Babe I'm sorry I can't make it. The pack-....

"It's always the pack". I sighed. The line went quiet. He knew I was right. Every time we planned to do something he bailed. "It's fine I'll see you whenever". I hung the phone up before he could respond.

I knew the pack was important, but every now and then it would be nice to come first. Slipping my feet into my sneakers I grabbed my bag and headed home.

I wasn't pissed about it because I understand when the pack needs him he has to be there but I was a little annoyed. I was looking forward to spending the afternoon together. I could have made plans instead of sitting around waiting for him. Crossing the street and walking the short distance home I noticed my aunt Claire car in the drive. I hadn't heard from Carter since last night. His head pickled with deciding on what to do.

The smell of vanilla hit my nose as soon as I stepped inside. The living room was immaculate, some of the furniture had been moved around.

"Hi honey". My aunt Claire appeared at the kitchen door. "I hope you don't mind that I cleaned up a little. You're grans coming home on Monday".

"She is?". It was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. All the worry gone. Relief sailed through my body. I couldn't wait to get her home. "She is". She smiled. "Sit down I'll make you some lunch". I followed her into the kitchen taking a seat. "I met your principal today".

I had completely forgot about the meeting.

"Don't look so scared. You're going back to school on Monday". She placed a cup of coffee next to me.

"I am?". Everything was working out fine. Everything I was stressing about gone. My gran was coming home and I was going to get to graduate. "Yes honey. Mr Gallagher owes you an apology and I'm sure you'll get it on Monday".

"He does?". I frowned.

"You did nothing wrong sweetheart and he admitted that. He took his bad mood out on you and he wants to apologise first thing".

I wasn't going to be smug about it but I'm glad he finally understood that I did nothing wrong.

"How about a toasted bagel with some cream cheese?".

"Yes please. I need to grab my laptop". My assignment had to be in for today and I had yet to finish it.

Taking a sip of my coffee I switched it on loading up my emails and pulling up my assignment. I didn't have much to do. All my points were made I just had to put it all together. "Pride and prejudice a true classic. What's this for?". She asked.

"English and the deadline is today". My emails popped up my stomach dropping when I saw the two emails at the top from Mr Gallagher. "It's worth half my grade".

"I'm sure you'll do great". She placed the toasted bagel on the table. "I'm going to nip out for a few things and then go and see mom".

"I hate that she doesn't want me to visit".

"She doesn't want you to fuss. You know what she's like, where do you think you get your stubbornness from".

"Yeah but-....

"Finish your assignment and beat that deadline". She squeezed my shoulder. "I won't be back later. I'm going to the hotel with uncle Zac but I'll come by tomorrow".

"I may be at Jake's". I clicked open the email from Mr Gallagher, he had sent it four days ago.

"I'll text you".

"Okay"...

'Miss Wilson,

I have changed the date for the assignment. Seeing as you are not in school I expect it to be emailed to me by the end of Friday 22nd September. If you have any issues do not hesitate to email me. Please remember Miss Wilson that this assignment plays a big part in your final grade. I expect you to take it very seriously.

Regards,

Mr Gallagher'

I bet he loved sending that.

Hitting reply I went full throttle on his a*s.

'Mr Gallagher,

Thank you for seeing that I was absent from school I appreciate it! I don't think it's very fair that you moved the assignment date as I've had no time to prepare.

That being said you can expect my assignment in the next hour or so.

Yours sincerely,

The delinquent'

Hitting send I flipped off my laptop screen. I hated that he sounded so smug. Was he trying to get a rise out of me?

I minimised my emails and got to work on my assignment. I was good at English actually I was bloody great but I knew I had to smash this one out of the park.

I'll show him!

...

It wasn't until I was attaching my work to a new email that I realised the email I had replied to was the one he sent days ago.

Oh shit!

I hadn't read the email he had sent me this morning. A laugh fell from my lips. I could just imagine his face when he read it. Shutting down my laptop I unlocked my phone as it vibrated. 'You angry with me?'

'I'm not angry Jake I'm annoyed. I sat in all afternoon for you to bail on me'

That was the truth. I wasn't angry with him. I understood that the pack would always be his priority but once in a while it would be nice if he showed up for me.

I was part of his pack too.

I was his mate, his packs Luna.

So why didn't it feel like it?

He had read the message, he just hadn't replied.
