Chapter 283
Turns out the guys weren’t doing much.
Jake had lit the fire pit out back and they were all sat round the decking drinking beer and talking. I grabbed a slice of pizza before sitting down beside him. He wrapped his arm around my waist before kissing the side of my head. “Yeah”. I smiled. “Are you p>
“You okay baby p>
“What do you want for graduation?”. He asked.
I took a bite of my pizza. I didn’t want anything. I didn’t need anything, and he certainly didn’t need to buy me a gift. Although I wouldn’t mind a weekend at the cabin.
“You don’t need to buy me anything”. I frowned.
“I don’t have to, but I want to p>
I shrugged. “Surprise me but nothing p>
“Oh my god”. Alanna jumped to her feet.
I jumped my hand gripping his leg.
“You’re wearing a ring”. She grinned.
Really?
The chatter dimmed everyone turning their attention to me or my hand I should say. “Yeah, on my right hand”. I held it up. “So, whatever you’re thinking stop p>
She smirked. “Is it so bad I want you as my sister already”. She took my hand in hers so she could take a closer look. “How did I not notice this before. Does mom know p>
It was a promise ring. I’m sure his mom didn’t need to know about it.
“Alanna”. Jake sighed.
“You did good”. She winked at him before turning her attention to Carter.
Alanna was like a breath of fresh air and a headache at the same time. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on. Visit to read the complete chapters for free. I loved her dearly, but she was always on a high. I glanced at the ring. It sure was beautiful and it fit perfectly upon my finger.
“How bad would it be if I kicked them all out p>
“Very”. I grinned. “But I’m not against it p>
A chuckle fell from his lips. “Could always sneak away upstairs p>
“We could”. The butterflies erupted in my stomach as he took my hand and laced our fingers together. “But won’t they notice we’re gone p>
He looked around before his eyes landed back on mine. “Who cares”. He smirked before leading me through the house and up the stairs. They didn’t even bat an eyelid but I’m sure they noticed we had disappeared.
Reaching our room, he made sure to lock it once we were inside. With my hand still in his he pulled me to him. “I’m really fucking proud of you, and I hope you know how much I love and appreciate you”. “I love you too”. I smiled.
“Can I ask you something p>
I nodded.
“Did you let your wolf take over because you were scared p>
I was terrified. Regardless of how strong I was physically Tommy knew how to get under my skin. He knew the right things to say to make me feel small and insecure.
I nodded.
“I’m so sorry Leah. I should never have left you alone”. He let go of my hand and sat on the edge of the bed.
“This is our home Jake”. I sat beside him. “If I’m not safe here then I’m not safe anywhere p>
“But you weren’t safe”. He shot to his feet. “That fucker got in and he hurt you p>
