Falling for the Alpha by RV.Elliott Chapter 35

Chapter 35
Feeling the slight breeze as he pulled the cover back I tensed. He was spending the night in my bed. “Princess”.
“Stop calling me that”. I groaned.
“Leah”. He sighed.
I’m tired”.
“Relax babe you’re all tense, you need to chill out”.
I was trying my hardest to relax but it was difficult with him being this close to me. Taking a deep breath I turned around so I could face him. I was glad it was dark.
“I’m not used to anyone else being in here”. Never once have I had a guy share my bed, not even Tommy. It was strange and it didn’t help that I had all these crazy feelings that I didn’t understand.
“I don’t bite princess”.
“Again with the princess”. I huffed. He didn’t understand how much he was effecting me. He didn’t understand that this was way out of my depth. I didn’t know how to deal with what I felt for him. Turning away from him I froze when I felt the coolness of his hand against my back.
“You wanna know why I call you that?”.
“No”. I couldn’t think when he was touching me.
He laughed.
“You mad?”.

“No”. I sighed. “I just…” I couldn’t say what I wanted to say. I didn’t know how to say it. I didn’t want to make him angry.

“You don’t know how to act around me now”. He removed his hand from my back. “It’s okay Leah I get it. You finding out…”
“I think I like you”. I blurted out cutting him off. There was no point trying to deny the feelings that were growing for him. What was the point in hiding it or trying to hide from it. “I can’t explain how or why and in the short amount of time that we’ve known each other I shouldn’t feel like this but I do. You make me feel safe”. “Babe”…
“I’m so confused”. I whispered. I barely knew him and yet it felt like I’ve known him for years.
“It’s the bond”.
Now he had thrown me off. What bond? What even is a bond?
“Our mating bond”. He sighed placing his hand back against my back. Even when he did that it soothed me. Any worry I had gone and just by one touch. “Mating bond as in like when animals mate?”. I was afraid of what he was going to say.
“We imprinted on you. My wolf, we, you’re mine Leah. All of what you’re feeling is because of the bond. You may not understand it babe but it’s real. You were made just for me. You’ve no idea how long I’ve been waiting on you”. He whispered.
“B-but I’m not a werewolf”. I stuttered. “Don’t I have to be like you?”.
“Human mates are common. We can’t help who we imprint on babe. The first time I saw you I knew, the amount of strength it took to keep him at bay”. He laughed.
“It’s weird”. I whispered. “I’ve never felt like this before with anyone”.
“But you do feel it?”.
“I-..yes. I feel everything and more so when we’re together but you can’t just throw all this on me. I need time to think, process, I can’t just jump into something I don’t fully understand”. He may not like that but I had to do this for me. I had to be sure this was what I wanted.

“You’re going to give me a chance?”. He sounded surprised, shocked even.
“I didn’t say that”. I grinned into my pillow. Would it be so bad giving him a proper chance?
I had nothing to lose.
“But you’re not rejecting me?”. He asked.
Turning around I sat up leaning my back against the headboard, I still liked that it was dark and he couldn’t see me. “Rejecting you?”.

“Nothing compares to finding your mate”. Taking a hold of my hand he laced our fingers. “The way you feel, think, live. They make it all better, you make it better, you make me better. But sometimes a mate can reject you. If you decide you don’t want me and you don’t want to become one with me and reject me then in time my wolf will die”.
My stomach dropped. This was serious. This wasn’t going to be the average relationship. I was eighteen, how did I know this was what I wanted for the rest of my life.
“With everyday that passes the bond grows stronger. The feelings you have are real, you felt the connection to me straight away didn’t you?”. He asked. “The feelings were there. The connection strong but at the time I didn’t understand what it was. It confused the hell out of me. You were at the gas station the night I arrived”.
“The first time I saw you”. He chuckled. “I had to see you again which is why I came to your house. Little did I know Alanna had bet me to it”. “Did she know?”. I asked.
“When an Alpha finds their mate it’s a pretty big deal”.
“Wait, I thought your dad was Alpha?”.
“When he steps down the title will become mine. You will stand by my side, you will become my Luna, you will help me run our pack”.

“Jake…I..

“You need some time to process babe and that’s okay. I’ll give you that time but just so you know I’m not going anywhere. Now that you have acknowledged the bond it’ll be harder to stay apart”.
He needed to slow down and stop talking. My mind was going into overdrive.
“Can I ask you something?”.
“Anything princess. I will always be honest with you”.
“If you’ve always known there was someone out there for you why did you sleep with all those girls?”. Even asking the question made me cringe. It wasn’t any of my business before but now it was.
“I’m twenty four I didn’t think I’d ever find you. Usually when you turn eighteen that’s when it’s supposed to happen but for me it didn’t. Could say I needed something to keep me occupied”.
At least he was honest.
“And now?”. I asked sinking my teeth into my bottom lip.
“I am as much yours as you are mine”. He growled. “There will only ever be you Leah. I don’t want or need anyone else”.
“I don’t like it when girls touch you”. At least now I knew why I felt the rage within me. “I don’t get jealous Jake but I did, I do”. I whispered. I had never been the jealous type but with him the slightest thing got to me.
“You don’t have to be jealous babe I-…”
“But you get jealous to. Ryan is my friend, you’ve been with most of the girls that hate me. Pushing the covers off I swung my legs over the side of my bed. My Drain wouldn’t shut off after everything I have learned tonight. “You don’t see the way they look at me. Threatening me when I’m out for coffee. It’s horrible and here is only so much I can take before I snap”.
Babe…”

“No Jake”. Cutting him off I got to my feet switching on my bedside lamp. “If they hated me before then they’ll despise me now. They could hurt me”.
He growled, snarled even. My heart pounded against my chest.
“They hurt you they’ll die”. His teeth were clenched, his eyes s l a n t e d.
“Don’t be ridiculous”. I sighed rubbing a hand down my face..

“What did you just say to me?”. He snapped pushing the covers off and jumping out of bed. “This isn’t ridiculous Leah, your life isn’t ridiculous. If anyone was to hurt you then….
“You’d kill them”. Rolling my eyes my heart jumped when he grabbed my wrist and pulled me
e to him.
“I’d do worse than that princess. I’d sink my teeth into their neck and rip their f u c k i n g heads off. No one touches you”. He was physically shaking, his eyes no longer brown but black.
His wolf.
“No one touches yo you but me”. His grip tightened as he held me closer burying his head in my neck. “You’re mine Leah, every single bit of you is mine”. He was breathing deeply as if breathing in my scent was helping him calm down.
“O-okay”. I stuttered. I was shaking, I was afraid. I wasn’t sure Jake was Jake anymore.
“Don’t be afraid of me Leah, never be afraid”. He whispered his grip loosening. “I’ll never hurt you ever”.
“I know”. I whispered. I believed everything he was saying. I knew he would never hurt me intentionally.
As he pulled back he brought his hand up cupping my face. “You want to go to bed?”. Running his thumb over my bottom lip I couldn’t help it, my tongue caught I it, a tingling sensation building in the pit of my stomach.
His eyes burned through mine, his teeth clenched. It only excited me, made me want to see what else could happen. With my good hand I ran my fingers slowly up his arm resting it on top of his shoulder.

“Princess”. He growled as I moved my fingers slowly down his chest.

“What?” I whispered my hand stopping just above the top of his boxers. Dropping my eyes to his lips and back again I sunk my teeth into my bottom lip. I wanted to kiss him. I’ve never wanted to kiss him as badly as I do right now. I was turned on, my heart racing. I was nervous but excited and I wanted more. He made me feel alive, awake inside. Slipping my hand into the waistband of his boxers he froze.
“Babe”. He hissed as I moved my hand lower, I could feel his pubic hair beneath my fingers. “Stop”. He growled placing his hand on top of mine.
It was like I had been hit with cold water. What was I doing? Pulling my hand back I put some distance between us. Did I really just have my hand in his boxers? Oh g o d.
Sinking my teeth into my bottom lip I tried my hardest not to laugh. I laughed when I was nervous and when I put myself into weird situations.
“Leah”. As he took a step towards me I put my hand up. I was embarrassed. I had made a fool of myself by attempting to seduce him. I wasn’t sure if that’s what I was doing.
“You should go. He didn’t need to know I was embarrassed.
“Babe don’t…”
I
“Just go Jake”. I was so st u p i d in thinking he would want that. I was st u p i d for even trying. I was jumping in and it back fired.
“It’s 3am princess I’m going nowhere”. My mouth fell open as I watched him climb back into bed. Smirking at me he patted my side. “You just going to stand there or are you getting in?”
Rolling my eyes I turned off my light and climbed back in. He was so smug at times, I wanted to punch him. Rolling onto my side I turned away from him and closed my eyes. He matched my movements, his arm sliding over my stomach pulling me closer to him.
“Jake what….”
“Just go to sleep princess”. He grunted.
