The Alpha Chose Me

I didn't sleep good at all. Tossed and turned all night, seeing every hour on the clock. My mind wouldn't shut off.

It was early and I was exhausted but once I was awake that was me for the rest of the day. I felt ill. My head was fuzzy and my body ached.

Grabbing my phone from under my pillow I groaned at the time. 0530 was still the middle of the night to me. I had a few Facebook notifications and a few texts from Alanna. Nothing from Jake and that surprised me. Why was I bothered so much?

Turning my phone on do not disturb I slid it back under my pillow. I would force myself back to sleep. I felt like death and was afraid I was coming down with something.

"Leah honey?". I could hear her but I didn't move or respond. I could hear her sitting my cup on my bedside table. "It's almost lunch time Leah, are you not getting up today?".

I groaned.

"Leah?".

"No". Pulling my cover up over my head I snuggled deeper into my pillow. I wasn't feeling good at all, my body ached all over.

"Honey are you not feeling good?". She asked.

Sighing I removed the cover from my head. I hadn't felt this sick in forever. "I'm not feeling good at all so I'm going to try and sleep it off".

"What's your symptoms?". As she moved closer she reached out her hand and placed it against my forehead. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on .

"Gran I'll be fine I just need to sleep".

"Rest up I'll be back as quick as I can".

I had been sleeping on and off for most of the day. By the time I fully awakened it was dark outside. The first thing I noticed was the bottle of water and pills on my bedside cabinet.

Stretching out my limbs I groaned at how sore my body felt. I had zero energy but felt better than what I did this morning. Reaching out I grabbed the water and took a sip.

"Leah?". Popping her head around my door she smiled at me. "Feeling any better honey?".

"Better than what I was". My head still felt fuzzy, I don't know if maybe I was getting a cold.

"You hungry? I made some soup".

I wasn't hungry more thirsty than anything else but I had to try and eat something. My stomach was empty. "I could eat something". I smiled taking another sip of my water.

As she walked further into my room she placed her hand against my forehead again. "Hm you still feel warm but not as warm as you did this morning. Take those pills it'll help break the fever. I'll be back in a few with some soup". "Thanks gran". As she left I lifted my phone from under my pillow and checked my messages.

'Hey girl you okay? Ax'

'Phone me when you can! Ax'

'Leah?? Call me and let me know you're safe! Ax'

She had sent the last message 5 minutes ago. Hitting the call button I put my phone on speaker.

"Finally! Where have you been?".

"I'm sick".

"Sick or sick sick?". She asked.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

"I think I'm coming down with the cold. I've literally just woke up".

"You didn't text me when you got home last night and then when you didn't reply to any of my other messages I got worried. I thought something had happened'.

"I went straight to bed when I got home last night. Sorry for worrying you I'll be fine in a few days. Are you okay?". Drinking more of my water I swallowed the 2 pills my gran had left.

"As long as you're okay. Yeah nothing much happening. I hate Sundays they're boring. I was going to see if you wanted to come over but-."
