The Alpha's Best Friend

Chapter 8

Semi edited.

~~~Alanna's pov~~~

I gather the 3 books we recently just got in that I've been dying to read.

I put them in my bag and go on my phone to clock out.

It's only around 12 so I still have the day to do whatever I want.

Perks of being the boss.

"See you later" I said to my coworker.

"Bye girl, enjoy the warm weather" She said.

"I plan on it, gonna crack open one of these new bad boys" I waved my bag.

"Enjoy! Let me know if they're worth the read" She said.

"Will do" I called over my shoulder.

I get in my car and take the short drive home then hop in the shower.

I don't know why, but I feel like I have to shower whenever I get home from work even though I don't do anything physical.

I slip on a pair of cotton shorts and a tank top.

I flop down on my bed and grab one of the new books, deciding on a werewolf romance.

Not my typical read, but the reviews were really good so I decided to give it a try.

I devour the first few chapters and just as I'm ready to flip to the next page, the sound of my window opening steals my attention.

My head snaps in that direction and I see Axel coming through my window.

He steps foot into my room and walks over to the corner of my bed and sits on it.

I put the book aside and sit up. "What's up."

"What you up to?" He asked.

"Relaxing and reading a new book" I wave it in the air for him to see.

He grabs it out of my hand, flips  through a few pages then stops on a certain page and shoots me a smirk. "I didn't know you were into werewolf porn" He said.

I roll my eyes and steal the book back. "Shut up. I heard it's a good story and wanted to give it a try."

"Yeah let me guess, for the plot" He ended in air quotes.

I roll my eyes again. "For the plot and the porn" I said stunning him.

What else would I read a book for?

He shakes his head at me. "Whatever. Besides reading are you doing anything in a little bit?" He asked.

"Nope, why what do you have in mind?"

"I was thinking maybe we could have a picnic, we haven't had one since before I left" He said.

In high school we would go on picnics all the time, they were our thing.

I smile. "A picnic sounds like a great idea."

He grins. "Awesome. I already packed the food and drinks, I just came to get you" He said.

I raised my eyebrow. "What happened if I said no?"

He snorts. "You can't resist our picnics and even if you did we'd be eating it right here" He gestured to the floor of my bedroom.

He's not wrong, I can't resist a picnic.

I stand up and grab some socks then slip on my sneakers.

I grab my phone and my book. "Ok, let's go."

He goes through my window and I follow behind him.

We're at least 10 feet off the ground so I can't jump off the roof like he can, so he bends down so I can get on his back and we jump together.
