The Alpha Chose Me novel Chapter 82

I felt all fuzzy inside, the drink had went straight to my head. I wasn't wasted but I was on my way. Cocktails were dangerous, it was like drinking juice until you stepped outside into the fresh air.

Rylee was a sweetheart, exactly like her mom. I was glad I got to meet her.

This place was full of life now. I was buzzed my mood completely different from earlier. As soon as it hit ten o'clock the lights dimmed and a DJ was brought out.

I was having the best time. Alanna and Lana had taken over the dance floor. Both girls had every guy in here looking at them.

"Who's the hottie at the bar. He's been staring at you for the last twenty minutes". Rylee whispered into my ear.

Hottie at the bar? Eh?

Following her gaze my stomach dropped. Mr Gallagher was here and he was definitely staring right at me. Oh god the email I sent.

"You know him?".

"He's my English teacher".

"And he's looking at you like that". She smirked.

"Looking at me like what?". I frowned.

"Like a fucking snack. He best be careful. Jake finds out he's looking at you like that and he'll be finished".

"You're being ridiculous he's my teacher". I took a sip of my drink dropping my gaze to the floor. My stomach tightened now I was aware that he was here. Bare in mind I was underage and shouldn't be drinking.

"Hm I'm not convinced".

"Convinced about what?".

"He wants to fuck you. The way he's looking at you gives it away". She flashed him her best smile before giving him a little wave.

"Rylee". I laughed.

"Is that Mr Gallagher?". Alanna asked sitting beside me. "Damn he cleans up nice. He's actually pretty fucking hot".

"I think he's got a soft spot for our little Leah". Rylee smirked. "He can't stop staring at her".

"Doubt that, the prick expelled me".

"Wasn't he the one helping you get into Yale?". Alanna asked.

"So he's my teacher he's meant to help". That didn't mean he had a soft spot for me. "I didn't even apply". My application was still sitting in the drawer in my room.

"Teacher and student lover affair". Both girls burst out laughing.

"May I remind you two that I am your brothers mate".

"Maybe Jake needs a little competition. Maybe then he'll realise what he's got". Rylee passed me a shot. "Looking isn't cheating babe, making them jealous is the best part".

"Where's your mate?". I knew she had one.

"The famous West, he'll be here very soon". Alanna winked. "She's been driving him crazy for years".

"Yay". Rylee made a face. "I'm not ready to give up my freedom just yet".

"Doesn't he get mad?".

"That's the best part". She smirked.

"Wait until you see him". Alanna grinned. "She's an idiot for keeping him waiting. That boy is sex on a stick".

"Hey". Rylee warned.

"I'm just stating facts".

"Yeah well don't. I may not have accepted him yet but he is still mine".

"Can we go to a club?". Lana asked. "I want to dance".

"Yes". I grinned. "I'll get the tab and meet you girls outside".

"You're not paying that bill". Rylee stated.

"No but Jake is". I smirked pulling the black card from my purse.

I settled the tab putting the card back in my purse. As I was about to leave a hand gripped my wrist pulling me back against a hard body.

What the..... spinning around I brought my hand up only to freeze when I saw who it was.

"Can I help you Mr Gallagher?". He loosened his grip but didn't let go.

"Very interesting email I received this afternoon Miss Wilson".

"I thought it was very fitting".

He smirked his tongue coming out to wet his bottom lip. "I liked the last part the best but I wouldn't refer to you as a delinquent".

"If I remember correctly you owe me an apology".

"Is that so Miss Wilson". He took a step towards me which only made me take one back.

Swallowing the lump in my throat I sunk my teeth into my bottom lip. What was he doing? "You could get a man sacked Leah! Sweet fucking Jesus look at you".

What?

"Excuse me?". I pulled my arm from his grasp. Did he actually just say that?

"Shit I shouldn't have said that".

"It's fine" I smiled. "Forget about it. I have to go I'll see you Monday sir". I got out of there as quick as I could.

...

The night club was packed. The bass from the music so powerful it made my legs shake. I was glad we didn't have to wait in line.

We made our way through the swarm of bodies to the booths at the back. The music was on point tonight, the DJ playing old school R&B.

"Let's go home". Lana was in front of me. "It's rubbish tonight let's go".

"No it's not". I laughed continuing to walk forward. She gripped my arm.

"It is the music is rubbish let's just go".

"What are you talking about?". I frowned.

"Leah please". I pushed her to the side and that's when I saw it. I felt sick, my stomach dropped, my insides physically shaking.

He was all over some girl. She was sitting in his lap, her hands places they shouldn't be. He hadn't even noticed me.

"Come on". She begged. "He's wasted Leah let's just go".

"No". I hissed trying my hardest not to cry. At that exact moment Foolish by Ashanti came blaring through the speakers.

Really?!

My heart was beating so fast I thought it was coming out my chest. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Was I not good enough for him?

"What the fuck is he doing?. I'll fucking kill him". Rylee barged past me but I caught her arm.

"He's made his choice and I'm obviously not it. I'm done with this, I'm done with him". I about turned and walked away.

I wasn't going to cry over him. I was stronger than that and I knew deep down I deserved better.

"No you don't". Alanna grabbed my hand. "You're not leaving because my stupid ass brother can't control himself. You're staying with us and we're going to have the best night ever. Any guy in here would be lucky to score with you".

Huh?

"You think that's what I want?". I frowned. "You think I want someone else?". I wanted nothing but him but he obviously had other ideas.

"I guess I prefer it". He grinned.

"How old are you Mr Gallagher?". I couldn't help the dirty thoughts running through my mind. I was drunk and he was extremely fucking hot. 

The full moon was close and my hormones were all over the place. Maybe he would give me the orgasm I'd been chasing for weeks. I smirked at my own thoughts.

"I can't tell you that Miss Wilson. It would be highly inappropriate".

"But you telling me I would get a man sacked isn't?". I rolled my eyes. "Whatever, see ya". He grabbed a hold of my arm pulling me close. Close enough that I could feel the hardness of his chest.

"Ah that's inappropriate Mr Gallagher". I pushed him off making my way to the exit. I had to get out of here before I got myself into trouble.

Walking through the dark hallway I jumped a squeal escaping my mouth as I was grabbed and pulled into a side room.

It was pitch black.

I knew instantly that it was him.

The way my body was reacting to his touch. His smell, his presence. I could feel how tense he was.

"I fucking hate you". I hissed.

"No you don't". He ran his thumb down my cheek. "You could never hate me baby".

"I do". I tried to push him off but it was pointless. He was stronger than me, bigger than me in every way. "I wish I had never met you". I blinked away my tears.

"I fucked up". He whispered. "I'm sorry".

"I hope she was worth it. Now please let me go".

"Leah"....

"I want to go home".

"Baby-..".

"I said I want to go home". I snapped finally pushing him off me. "Don't touch me". Even though it was dark I could still feel his presence. "Don't you fucking touch me".

"Leah I-..".

"How could you do that to me?". I cried but it was angry tears. "How could you let some girl touch you like that. I haven't even touched you. I hate you I fucking hate you". My hand connected with his cheek a cry falling from my lips.

Not again.....

A growl fell from his lips as he lunged towards me grabbing me around the waist and holding me tightly against him. "No". I cried punching his back with my good hand. "No". I continued to punch him until I was full on crying.

I hated how responsive my body was to him. The comfort he was giving me that I so desperately needed. Stupid fucking mating bond.

"I'm so sorry baby".

"I don't care". I cried. "I don't want to see you anymore"

"Leah".

"I mean it Jake I don't-.. I don't want to be your mate". And that wasn't the drink talking. I was deadly serious. I knew from the start I wasn't good enough for him and tonight he proved that.

"Don't say that, don't you fucking say that. You are mine and only mine. You think I didn't see you with that fucking teacher".

"So". I shrugged.

"You don't get to reject me Leah".

A laugh fell from my lips. "You don't get to tell me what to do".

"Please". His voice broke. "I can't live without you".

"I guess you should have thought about that before you let some girl play with your dick". I walked out the room and he didn't follow.
