He’s My Alpha by Cassandra M (Jake & Clair)
Chapter 64
Clair
The breakfast went well, but I felt they weren’t talking about anything serious because I was still there. The conversations rounded about the pack and the business which were interesting but I felt I was dragging them away from the real reason they were here.
So as soon as I finished my meal. I went back to my room and brushed my teeth, changed into my jeans, and slipped on my sneakers before heading out.
They were still in the kitchen, talking but went silent when I came in. I went and placed a k*iss on Dad’s forehead before smiling at him and the Beta, as I headed out of the house.

“Where are you going? Day Care?” He followed after me, his voice was soft and a little worried. “No. City,” I answered as I continued to walk only turning around to face him when I reached my truck.
“I’m coming with you.” He said in a low voice, eyes gazing at me softly.
“No. Dad wanted to talk with you. I’ll be fine.” I smiled, my palm reached for his chest and rubbed it, dusting off the small pieces of bread crumbs on it. “Are you sure?” His lips pursed, eyeing me carefully.
“Yes, sir!” I answered immediately, taking my hand off his chest.
His forehead creased and I glared at him. “I’m not meeting someone!” I snapped at him.
“At least take my Beta with you. He won’t bother you at all.” He c*oc*ked his head to the side, referring to Beta Gavin.
And in an instant, the Beta came out of the house, humming and strolling nonchalantly around us into the passenger side.
“I can drive if you want.” Beta Gavin called out from the other side.
I rolled my eyes at Jake and didn’t even throw a glance at the Beta. “I’ll drive. My truck my rules. By the way, there was a dead deer at the front door earlier?”
He gave me that warm smile, hands in his pocket. He rather looked excited. “It’s for you.”
“For what reason?” I asked, raising my brow.
“We’ll talk about it later. Better go now so you can come home early.” His hand moved to the tip of my hair by my shoulder, playing it gently on his fingertips.
“Okay.” I nodded, flashing a weak smile.
Jake took a deep sigh and raised his hand to brush his thumb on my cheek. “Be careful. I’ll see you later.”
I nodded again and to my surprise, he leaned down and pecked a k*iss on my lips.
My eyes widen as I stepped back and raised myself into my truck, my emotions were all over the place. Did he just k*iss me outside my house? In an open space, in front of his Beta? Did Dad see that?
He moved near the side of the car and I felt he wanted to say something more but I roared the engine to life and stepped on the gas, speeding away off to the road, not throwing him any glance at all.
“Holy shit! What was that?” The Beta snickered as he hold on to his seat or pretended to be scared. “Slow down! You can’t drive this fast in this area. You ’11 be reprimanded!”
“Who will do that? The Alpha? It’s his fault I sped up!” I answered a little too loud but I slowed down my speed, putting it on the regular speed limit.
I took a deep sigh, my shoulder slumping. “I’m just confused with your Alpha. One moment he’s cold, and then, he’s hot. He suffocates me sometimes and then ignores me after. And you know what’s the worst thing he did?” I threw him a quick side glance before focusing on the road again.
The Beta remained silent, so I continued.
“I can take all the manipulation, the hot and cold temper but he accused me of opening my legs and f*uc*king Aeon to keep Aeon around.” I felt my eyes watered but I tried my best to keep the tears at bay. “And then when I told him, I want to talk about it he said no need. As if it doesn’t matter. I’m not trying to be clean here but he knows I didn’t have any other man before him and he still…” Words stopped coming out, and I just stayed in silence.
I heard the Beta sigh beside me. “He should have felt it if you did it, you know.”
My eyes widen and my tears trickled down from my eyes as I tilt my head to look at him. “I forgot about that. You see, whenever he’s around I can’t think straight. So maybe he realized that? And instead of telling me, he kept me on my toes trying to find ways to explain that I didn’t do anything. F*uc*k him!
“This is all new to him.” He blurted out.
“What do you mean?”
“Everything you make him feel. He doesn’t know how to react to it.”
I bit my lips. My head hurts from thinking for any rational reason for his behavior. “This is so unfair.” “You love him.” His voice was low.
“Why are you even asking that?”
“I’m not asking, I’m telling you.”
“What? You’re confusing me Beta.”
“You liked him since we were young. Maybe you had no idea, but you had always favored him versus all of us. Everyone knows it, me, Aaron, Matteo, Dylan, Damien, and Jake. We all knew.”
“What? Did you talk about me? And who’s Dylan?” My nose scrunched up, confused but I didn’t look at him this time.
I tried to ignore that he just said I liked Jake even before, although it was the truth. I just didn’t know it was that obvious.
“Damien’s older brother. Same age as the Alpha but he moved away when he found his mate.” He paused for a moment while the information sunk in. “But to answer your question. We talked about it once but Jake ordered us not to talk about it with each other anymore. And we never did. Now I think he used the Alpha command at such a young age.”
He chuckled and shook his head. My eyes were still glued to the road as I listened to him.
“We teased him once, how you would always pass the ball to him whenever we play. Just to him even if I stand in front of you, begging you. You would run to his side or bump everyone else, breaking all rules so Jake can have the ball and can make goals.”
“You only had your eyes for him, even if you were not aware of it. Jake probably felt it but he doesn’t want you to steer away from him and not be comfortable with him, so he stopped us from talking about it.”

“Come on! Let’s play, I only have 2 hours before I need to go back to that study hall!” Jake blew out air from his mouth while throwing his hands up in the air, breaking out the argument between Dylan and Damien.
Dylan threw a death glare at Damien before picking up the soccer ball and positioned himself outside the line as everyone went back and prepared to continue the game.
The game went on for a few minutes without any problem, until she decided to show up.
Again. This time carrying a plastic bag with cookies. “Not again! Time out!” Aaron face palmed himself and called us out before striding towards his sister, stopping in front of her to halt her from walking. “You’re not going here, Clair. Go home!” He crossed his arms across his chest, towering over little Clair.
“No! I want to play. I brought cookies!” She beamed widely at her brother, raising the plastic bag in front of his face.
“No. Not today. Go play with your barbies. That’s what girls play with.” He shook his head before turning Clair’s little body in the other direction.
“No. All legs are missing already. I can’t play them without legs!” She huffed and turned around again, scowling.
Jake snickered and shook his head before picking up the ball. “Are we playing or not? I need to go soon.”
Aaron threw an uneasy glance at all of us before looking at his sister again. “Find some girls to play with. You can join next time. I promised.” He said smoothly, hoping his sister will agree.
Rose tint crept into her small face, lips started to pout and her eyes began to water. Little Clair was putting on a show again.
I sighed.
Not long enough she started to sniff and sob, eventually, it turned into little hiccups. If this went longer, she would bawl her eyes out from crying. “Again!” I groaned in frustration. I knew what would come next whenever she did this.
And I wasn’t wrong.
“Let her join. I’ll take her in my team.” Jake said calmly, looking at Clair without any emotions.
Matteo groaned and put his hands on his waist. “That means we’re switching to handball again?” He then turned his attention to Clair. “You need to learn how to play soccer if you want to play with us.
Clair wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand and glared at Matteo with her big round eyes. “No! My legs can’t kick that well and I don’t like soccer!”
Aaron tugged his hair in annoyance before pulling Clair towards the play area. “Come now! No cheating!”
She swatted his hand, dropped the plastic of cookies on the ground, and ran towards Jake, wrapping her hand around his waist for a brief hug before letting him go. “Thanks, Jake!” She smiled sweetly, taking the ball away from his hand.
