The Alpha Chose Me novel Chapter 1

Today was another day closer to leaving.

Staring up at the sold sign that was perched on our front lawn a sigh fell from my lips. I had lived in Florida for as long as I could remember. This was my home, this was my moms home and I wasn't ready to leave. Being here was the only place I felt close to her.

My mom died shortly after I was born. Bad labour, lots of blood lost. They couldn't save her. I was raised by my grandmother.

"Still staring at that sign I see".

She knew I wasn't big on the idea of leaving. I didn't want to move and have to start all over again. I was happy here, I had friends here, Tommy was here. At 18 I was doing pretty well. I was getting straight As, had a part time job, all in all my life was good.

It was all going to be taken away from me by this time tomorrow. How was I suppose to leave my friends? my boyfriend?.

"Leah you're 18 years old. You'll make new friends, you'll get a new boyfriend. We need this change honey, it'll be good for us".

My gran wasn't Tommy's biggest fan. She always said there was something about him that she couldn't quite put her finger on. Tommy was slightly older but not by much, he was 21, had a car and had the most brightest blue eyes I'd ever seen. Yes he was my first boyfriend.

But deep down I knew I would meet new friends, I would move on and start a fresh. Leaving them behind wasn't my biggest worry.

"I'm afraid I'll lose the connection to her". Being here, being in this house I could feel her with me everyday.

"Leah, sweetheart your mom is in here" She whispered placing her hand against my heart. "She will never leave you no matter where you are in the world. She loved you baby never forget that". With her hands on my shoulders she pulled in for a hug. "How about some hot chocolate and we can watch the sun set?" Pulling back she wiped the tears from my cheeks.
