LOGIN“Everyone in my family loves you. Feeling nervous about things is natural but honestly you really have nothing to be nervous about”.I was half expecting him to say he’d come with me,but he didn’t. I wonder if Alanna would be there.“Besides Alanna will be there”. He pulled the covers back and got into bed. “Do you still want to catch up on the rookie?”.That made me a little less nervous knowing she will be there. Don’t get me wrong I loved his mom but his mom and his gran in the same room with just me. Yeah, that made me nervous as hell.“Yeah”I nodded. “But do you think you could get me some tea first?”. I asked.“Sure babe. Do you want anything else?”.“No thanks”.We came straight upstairs as soon as we got home.We both wanted an early night and some time just us.We rarely got to have that anymore because Jake was always busy with the pack and I well I was always just hanging around with nothing to do.Of course, that would change soon when I started college. It was only a fe
In true Ellen fashion she huffed and puffed because I had come all the way down here.She was my gran, and I wanted to make sure she was okay.“George told you to stay home Leah”.I fought the urge to roll my eyes. If she caught me, l’d get an earful. But I wasn’t going to stay home when she was lying in hospital.“I wanted to make sure you were okay. I knew something was up when we came for dinner and the house was in darkness”.“Oh, shoot”. She made a face. “I forgot to text you andlet you know. It all happened so fast George just wanted to get me here and get me checked out”.“Gran it’s fine and we can have dinner anytime. Has the doctor been back?”.“They don’t think anything is broken but I’m waiting to be taken for an x-ray just to be sure. You should go home; I could be here for hours before I’m seen to”.“I don’t mind being here or waiting for hours”. I spoke.“Well, I do. It’s late and I’m sure you have better things to do than sit here all night”.“I called Aunt Claire; she
My dad and Jake were on the couch watching the game eating Chinese food. I was fixing my plate checking my phone often to see if my gran had reached out. It was almost nine-thirty, and I still hadn’t heard from her.“Babe come sit down”. Jake spoke.I grabbed my bottle of water from earlier and took my plate into the living room. I wasn’t interested in the game playing on the tv so instead I scrolled through my phone whilst eating my dinner.“Have you heard from your gran yet?”. My dad asked“Nothing”. I shook my head. “I’m going to eat and then go back over there”. They have to come home at some point, right?“I’m going to patrol with Carter and Rocco tonight. I could drop in when I leave?”. He asked“Okay”. I smiled.I would still go over and check myself. I wouldn’t sleep tonight if I didn’t,“I’m sure everything is fine”. Jake spoke. “They’ve probably just lost track of time or got held up doing something”.“Should I be worried?”. I chewed the inside of my cheek. “I haven’t heard
I soothed my hands down my jeans as I slipped my feet into my black boots. I went for comfort tonight.Jeans, boots and my orange blazer.“You look good babe”. Jake spoke as he slipped his arm around my waist.“I feel a little nervous”. I had no idea why seeing as we were already over the hard part. Tonight was just dinner.“It’s just dinner, right?”.I nodded.“Then you have nothing to be nervous about”. He kissed the top of my head as his arm fell from my waist.“I’ll meet you downstairs”.I let out a big breath. He was right it was just dinner and yet I felt a little sick at the thought of it. I grabbed my purse from the closet and gave myself another once over in the mirror.I decided no make-up was needed and I left my hair out. I switched the light off as I made my way downstairs. Jake and my dad were laughing at something both with a beer in their hand.I liked their relationship or at least where their relationship was going. I always feared they wouldn’t get on.“What’s so fu
“Nervous about meeting your family?”. He frowned.I nodded. I had so many thoughts and feelings about the whole thing. They were my family but that didn’t mean everything was going to go smoothly. I didn’t know these people and they didn’t know me.“I guess I’m just a little overwhelmed and I’m afraid it’s going to consume me and put me off”.“I promise you have nothing to worry about. They love you already and can’t wait to meet you”.I had to take his word for it because I had nothing else to go on. I had to rip the band-aid off and move forward.Meeting them wasn’t going to disrupt my life or cause me any pain. Who knows it may be exactly what I need.Having more family and being surrounded by people who love me was never a bad thing.“I do want you to visit Leah, and I hope it’s sooner rather than later but I’m not going to push because I want it to be your decision. I don’t want you to feel like you have to do it, and I would never push you to do something you don’t want to do”“
It shouldn’t be awkward, and I shouldn’t feel awkward, but I did. I didn’t want to start the conversation and I’m not sure my dad knew what to say. I sipped at my coffee my eyes focused on the trees that surrounded the back yard.“I hear it’s Chinese tonight”. He spoke. “Do you like Chinese food?”.Really? We were going to talk about food?Brushing it off I nodded. “Do you?”.“Yeah”. He smiled. “I’m not really fussy when it comes to food”.“I’m guessing you’re heading home after tonight?”. I asked“I am”. He nodded. “I need to get back to my pack and make sure nothings falling apart”. He laughed. “It’s not always fun being Alpha”.I wouldn’t know anything about that seeing as I wasn’t Alpha and if I’m being honest, I wouldn’t thank you for the title.“I see”.I spoke.“I do want you to come visit Leah. I want you to stay for a few weeks and meet with the rest of our family”.“I know”‘. I nodded. “I want to visit as well I just have tobe in the right head space first. I want to make
“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 laug
I had been in bed for hours but couldn’t sleep. Everything kept playing over in my head. I still hadn’t heard from Alanna. Pushing my covers back I slipped my feet into my slippers and pulled a jumper over my head. Grabbing my kindle I closed my bedroom door quietly hoping not to wake my gran.I co
“Okay”. There wasn’t anything I could do and I was wasting my time kicking off about it. If he had to go then he had to go. There was nothing I could do or say to stop him.“I’ll come by and pick you up later. Pack a bag”. Placing a kiss on my lips something inside me ignited. Shivers spread throug
Jake grabbed a hold of my hand squeezing gently as we walked through the entrance. My heart was beating so fast, I felt sick.As soon as I saw her a cry fell from my lips, I tried to run away but Jake caught me around the waist pulling me to him. “No, I can’t, I can’t see her like this”. She wasn’t
