Chapter 226
“Who was it p>
“I don’t know but that’s twice it’s happened”. I put my phone away. “I thought it was my gran the first time but now I’m not so sure”. “It happens again you let me know p>
I didn’t think that was necessary but I wasn’t going to tell him that. “Probably just someone got the wrong number”. I shrugged. “Got the wrong number twice?”. He frowned.
I wasn’t getting into this with him. “It happens again I’ll tell you okay p>
“That’s all I ask p>
“Now can we go home?”. I asked.
“Picked up your gown yet?”. He pulled into the driveway cutting the engine.
“Let’s get prom out the way first p>
“Got a dress p>
“I do p>
“Got a date p>
I turned my head so fast I jerked my neck. He smirked before throwing me a wink.
“You’re not funny”. I huffed.
“Just making sure I don’t need to break bones p>
I followed suit as he got out the car.
“You saying you’re taking me to prom?”. I asked.
“Me and only me princess p>
I tried to hide my grin but couldn’t. I always knew he was going to be my date. It’s not as if he’d let anyone take his place.
“It’s a date”. I winked following him inside.
Entering the living room my eyes fell onto the white envelope that I left on the couch last night. I hadn’t built up the courage to open it yet.
“You want something to drink?”. He called from the kitchen.
“No thanks p>
“You okay p>
“Yeah p>
“Do you want to open it p>
“Don’t know”. I shrugged.
What if it was something bad? I didn’t need anymore bad news or anything else blowing up my life. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on. Visit to read the complete chapters for free. But if I don’t open it I’ll never know.
“Want me to open it?”. He asked.
“I’ll open it but not right now p>
“Okay baby p>
The laughter reached our ears, the clutter of voices getting closer.
“You guys home?”. Alanna yelled.
“In here”. Jake answered.
It was the full gang.
Alanna and Carter, Lacey and Jack, Lana and Pete. Were we missing something?
“Want me to get rid?”. He whispered.
“I heard that”. Alanna huffed. “Don’t let him kick us out Leah. We haven’t all been together for ages p>
True.
“I wouldn’t dare”. I grinned.
Jake went off with the boys as soon as Jack brought up football. Us girls stayed in the kitchen. Alanna produced a bottle of rosé wine from her jacket.
“An apology”. She passed it to me.
“She told us what happened”. Lacey added. “You definitely have a better temper than me because I’d have whooped her ass p>
“What she said”. Lana added.
“Does he know?”. Alanna asked.
“He doesn’t”. I put the wine away in the fridge. I’d save it for prom night.
“So that means I won’t get slammed with morning patrols”. She grinned. “That’s why you’re my favourite p>
“I’d have well grassed you up”. Lana smirked.
“Hey”. Alanna glared.
“Just don’t do it again. You really pissed me off p>
“I was only trying to help”. She huffed. “And it worked didn’t it p>
“That’s besides the point. I didn’t want to force her out p>
“What?”. The tone of his voice sent chills down my spine.
Dammit.
“Great”. Alanna sighed. “Morning patrols for the rest of my life I already know p>
“You forced her wolf out?”. He glared.
“Well”. She made a face. “I kinda just helped speed up the process p>
“It’s okay Jake”. I was trying to sooth the air. I could already feel the atmosphere changing.
“It’s not okay. You fucking know better Alanna”. His eyes hardened. “You don’t force a new wolf out p>
“She’s hardly a new wolf and she’s an Alpha. It’s not as if it would have harmed her p>
I glanced at Lacey whilst taking a few steps back. I wasn’t getting in between a brother and sister having a disagreement. Even if I was the cause. “It’s not the point p>
She rolled her eyes. “You’re overreacting like always p>
Big mistake.
She knew he had a short temper.
His claws extended, his eyes now black.
“Calm him down before he shifts and you”. Jack glared as he pointed at Alanna. “Respect your f g Alpha p>
Alanna wasn’t interested in what Jack was saying. She was to busy glaring at Jake. They were at a stand still. Both glaring and by the looks of it about to blow. “You challenge him and you’re dead you do know that p>
My mouth went dry at Jacks words.
Challenge? Dead?
What in the world was happening?
“Stand down”. Jake snapped.
Oh god.
She did nothing. She stood her ground, her hands balled into fists at her sides. Surely they weren’t going to fight?
“I won’t tell you again Alanna. Now stand down p>
A sigh fell from her lips as she broke her stare and lowered her head.
She was submitting.
“Go home”. He was speaking as her Alpha and not her brother. I could tell by the tone of his voice.
She didn’t need to be told twice.
