Falling for the Alpha by RV.Elliott Chapter 11

Chapter 11
“Jake left in a hurry. We were in the car on our way to the mall. Today she was picking out what worktops she wanted for the kitchen.
“He did”. I didn’t know what she wanted me to say.
“He seems like a nice boy Leah. Very well mannered and he’s not to bad on the eye”. She winked causing me to laugh. “He could be good for you”. She sang as we pulled into the car park. “Gran”. I sighed
“What, he’s not going to be single much longer. And have you seen the length of his eyelashes. He puts us women to shame.

Shaking my head I couldn’t stop my smile. She wasn’t getting to play matchmaker here. Closing the car door we headed inside. “Do you want to go get what you need and I’ll meet you at costa when you’re done or do you want to come with me?.
Til meet you at costa. It shouldn’t take me long to get what I need”. I only needed a few stationary things and maybe a new backpack
“Okay honey Пll see you soon”
Walking around the mall I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was being watched. I had yet to get what I needed, too busy staring at things I didn’t need or couldn’t afford. I missed having my job back home. Ever bit of money I had saved was going towards a car but seeing as I didn’t have a job here the money had stopped flowing

I still had a feeling someone was watching me and when I spotted Jack and Lacey walking towards me the first thing that came to mind was Jake. I didn’t like the way we left things, I didn’t like that he stormed out of my house.
“Hey girl”.
“Hey. I grinned.
You here on your own?”. She frowned.

was nervous but not as bad as I would have been if I didn’t already know Alanna and Lacey. Having friends already there made it slightly better.
A little nervous but surprisingly okay. You’ll be there right?”, Jack stood like the silent assassin, too busy with his nose in his phone. Course. Are you car sharing with us?”.

“Lacey”. Jack warned cutting her off.
“Fine”. She huffed. “Give Alanna a text if you want to car share. I’ll see you tomorrow regardless”. She was already bickering with Jack as they walked away. I wondered who they were talking about? Finally reaching costa I could my gran had already ordered my coffee. Taking a seat I licked my lips when my eyes landed on the bro wn
“Did you get everything you need?”. She asked.
“Yes. Did you pick what style you wanted for the kitchen?”. My gran was fussy. Everything in her eyes had to be perfect when it came to how our house looked. She had very elegant taste.
“did”. She grinned. They are getting delivered next week, which reminds me I have to contact Jacob and see when he is available to fit them”.
“Are you sure we can afford this?”, Our house needed a lot of work and I knew it wasn’t going to be cheap,
“Leah, you don’t worry about money. Do you hear me?”. It never was something we discussed but as I got older I didn’t want her getting into debt. “Money isn’t the issue honey and besides Jacob won’t take anything for fitting the new kitchen”.
I almost spat my coffee out.
“And he managed to get me 50% off everything”.
Okay what? something wasn’t adding up. Why wasn’t he charging us?
“Just let me worry about the house and you focus on school and getting the grades you need to graduate. Deal?.
“Deal”. I frowned.
“Good now drink up we need to get home. We’ve got Charlotte and Jacob coming over for dinner. I loved that she sprung all this on me with zero warning. The car journey home was quiet. I was trying to figure out ways of getting out of tonight. They seemed like lovely people I just wasn’t big on small talk.
As we pulled up to our house I noticed the cars parked in his drive way. He always had people over. Unclipping my seat belt and getting out I could hear the faint sound of music. Their house was never quiet. “Why don’t you go over?”.
“No I’m good”. Lifting my stuff I took the key from her and walked the rest of the way up the drive. I didn’t really want to see Jake just now. After this morning I wasn’t sure where we stood. Were we friends? Kicking off my shoes I turned the TV on and fell onto the couch.
“Really Leah, that’s how you’re spending the rest of your Sunday?”. What did she want me to do? I was out last night. I just wanted to chill before starting school tomorrow. Feeling my phone vibrate from inside my pocket I pulled it out. I had a new text from Alanna.
“He found out 🙁 Ax

Sitting up quickly i reread the message. The only thing I could think of was he found out she was still seeing Kane. Another message came through
I need your help Jake’s going crazy, please come over. He’ll listen to you
I frowned. I don’t know how I could help her. I didn’t even know if Jake and I were on good terms.
“Something is going on over there. I can here arguing. Maybe I should call Charlotte”. My gran had a worried look on her face. Surely it wasn’t that bad? Alanna never did tell me the reason why h weren’t together anymore.
The arguing was getting louder.
I could hear Alanna crying.
But should be getting involved? Wasn’t really any of my business.
“That’s it I’m calling their mom”
As she disappeared into the kitchen I shoved my feet into my shoes and headed over. Getting closer to the front door I jumped when Lacey ca “Thank g o d you’re here now come on”. Grabbing my hand she pulled me inside.

First thing I noticed was Alanna on the couch, she was hysterical. What the hell had I just walked into? The house was trashed but Alanna was the least of my worries when Lacey pulled m My stomach dropped Jake had Kane pinned to the wall.
His face was b l o o d y. I wasn’t sure he was still conscious.
The guy standing here wasn’t Jake. He wasn’t the same guy that was in my bedroom this afternoon. He wasn’t the same guy that took care of me last night.
“J-Jake” I stuttered.

Kanecy dropped to the floor as Jake released his grip.
“Get him the f u c k out of my house”. He growled causing me to jump.
I was afraid.
I was seeing a side to him that I didn’t know. But did I really know him at all?
Turning to face me I noticed his eyes had changed colour. They weren’t his normal shade of brown but darker almost black. They almost looked animalistic. As he tookne a step forw shouldn’t be here.
“Leah, I can explain”. He was hesitant with his words but again asen he moved that little bit closer I moved back.

I was caught up in my own little world. I couldn’t stop thinking about what he had done. With her hands on my face she pulled my focus my eyes landing on hers. “Leah where is Jake?”.
