My Hot Alpha
Chpater 95

"It was fine". I whispered. "I'm going to head home before she gets here. I don't want to be in the middle of a family dispute".

"You're family, you're my family". He growled. "You're going nowhere unless it's to my bed".

"I don't have any of my things". I didn't even pack a bag. I wasn't planning on staying because of school tomorrow.

"You don't need them". He smirked. "Please babe just stay".

Hearing the engine and seeing the brightness of her headlights I heard the movement from upstairs and the footsteps on the stairs. Charlotte with Jacob right behind her. "As long as she's safe". Jacob stated.

"She found her mate". Charlotte almost broke her neck as the words left Jake's mouth.

"She did?". A smile broke out on her face. "She found him".

"Mom". Jake sighed.

This was a big deal and she was excited.

As the door open I was anxious to see him. I was excited for her. The only thing she wanted was her mate.

I knew that face, I was related to that face.

"Carter?".

"Little bear?". He grinned.

A growl ripped from Jake's mouth as he pushed me behind him.

"Wait you know him?". Alanna asked.

"He's my cousin". Placing my hand on Jake's side I shoved him slightly so he would get out of the way. That only caused another growl to rip from his mouth.

Seriously he was getting territorial over my cousin?

"Jake". Placing my hand on his back I grabbed a hold of his hand. "He's my cousin and he's Alanna's mate. Calm down please". I whispered.

"You're getting good at that Leah". Jacob smirked.

I wasn't so sure. His body was still tense. As he took a step forward I placed myself in front of him. "Babe". I whispered placing my hand on his cheek. His eyes locked with mine, the brown coming back, the black disappearing. "You're mine". He whispered.

"I know. Wait a minute". The penny dropped. He was her mate, did she tell him about werewolf straight away? Did he freak out like I did?

"I'll put the kettle on". Charlotte grabbed hold of Jacobs arm pulling him away and into the kitchen.

"Are you-.." I couldn't bring myself to say it. It didn't make sense. Surely he would have told me. We were thick as thieves when we were younger. "Leah"....

"No". Holding up my hand I took a step back. I couldn't believe this.

"Babe". Jake placed his hand on my back.

"Don't".

"Just let me explain please". Carter sighed taking a step towards me. Alanna was right next to him, her hand in his.

"When did you know?". I asked.

"My sixteenth birthday".

"So that's why I didn't see you again".

"The fever hit, I didn't know what was happening either. Trust me bear I wanted to tell you".

"Does gran know?". I already knew the answer when he couldn't look at me. I felt like I had been sucker punched. What else were they hiding? "Bear".... I hated that he still used the nickname for me from when I was younger. Carter was two years older than me but we were inseparable. "What, did I just not get the wolf gene?".

"It's from my dads side Leah. I'm half, you already know my mom isn't a wolf".

Carter's mom was my moms sister.

"So you just thought you'd cut me out of your family?".

"Dammit Leah that's not-....."

A growl fell from Jake's mouth. "You may be my sisters mate but Leah is mine. You do not disrespect her and you most definitely do not speak to her like that". The power radiating from him was overwhelming, even I wanted to bow my head and submit. "Apologies Alpha".

This was to weird. He was my flesh and blood and yet it felt like I didn't know him at all.

"You're still my family Leah and please don't be angry at gran". I didn't want to be angry at her but I was. They had kept me in the dark for years and I've only now found out because of Jake, because I was his mate. "Why are you here?". I asked.

"I was invited here. It's a big deal when a powerful werewolf next in line for Alpha replaces his mate".

"The celebration isn't for a few weeks". Jake stated. I could feel his hand on the lower of my back. It was calming. I felt rage, anger but most importantly disappointment.

My own family had lied.

"Gran reached out when you first moved here. She said you were having a rough time of it". Scratching the back of his head his eyes locked with mine.

"I haven't heard from you in 2 years and suddenly you wanna be besties". I was being harsh but I couldn't help it. I couldn't seem to wrap my head around it. "I need a minute, sorry". I knew Jake was hot on my trail. Pushing the door open I stepped outside into the back garden.

"What are the odds of that happening?". He chuckled. I wasn't in the mood. A bombshell had just been dropped on me and I didn't replace it funny. Member of my own family were werewolf's.

"Tell me something". I said turning so I could face him. "Does my gran know what you are?".

"Baby...."

"Of course she does and let me guess George is a wolf too". I laughed.

"Come here".

Sighing I took his hand as he pulled me onto his lap as he sat out the garden chair. "It was all going to come out sooner or later babe. Your gran knows because George is her mate. He knows my family". Mind blown.

"Such a coincidence that I just so happen to be your mate". I said.

"That's not a coincidence". He growled.

"I know I'm sorry". I sighed. "It's been a long night".

"Do me a favour". He whispered kissing the side of my head. "Don't be to hard on Carter. It wasn't his place to tell you".

"Aren't you suppose to be on my side?".

"I am on your side always but babe-.."

"Fine". I didn't want to talk about this anymore. I would talk to Carter just not tonight. "I'm just going to go home tonight". "Okay". He sighed. "I'll walk you home but tomorrow you're staying here. No arguments".

"Deal". I smiled
