Alpha Bloodlines by Kirsty Moseley Page B

great" he said honestly.
    I nodded "What about you?" I asked.
    He shrugged looking a little sad as he weaved his fingers through mine. "My Mom died when I was five, my father left just after, I was raised by my Aunt, she was my legal guardian, but she died last year" he said sadly. I gasped, god he sounds like he had a really hard life!
    "Oh god Jayden, I'm sorry" I said squeezing his fingers tightly.
    He smiled "It's ok, my Aunt was great, a little crazy, but great, she would have really liked you" he said smiling happily.
    "She must have been nice to take on a five year old" I said honestly, he nodded smiling fondly. I guess I need to talk about the whole shifter thing now, we seem to have avoided it pretty well up until now. "So your father's Alpha of the shifters?" I asked grabbing my coffee and wrapping my hands around it trying to warm myself up.
    He nodded looking a little annoyed, I got a sense that he didn't like his father at all. "Yeah, he's pack Alpha" he said frowning.
    "How many shifters are in your pack then?" I asked curiously as I pulled my knees up to my chin.
    "Well there's probably about fifty or sixty families across the towns" he said shrugging.
    "Shit! Seriously? Sixty families? And your father is in charge of all of them?" I asked a little shocked.

    He nodded "Yeah, the Alpha passes down through bloodlines, there's been a Phillips Alpha for the last two hundred years" he said casually.
    I smiled "So that's your last name? Jayden Phillips, got any middle names?" I asked curiously.
    He grinned "Yeah, Richard" he said rolling his eyes, "You don't like your middle name?" I asked smiling.
    He shook his head "Nah, it's my fathers name, bit boring" he said grinning.
    I laughed "Boring? My middle names Logan, that's a boy's name!" I said laughing.
    He grinned "It's nice, what's your surname?" he asked happily.
    "Mill's" I said yawning.
    He smiled sadly, "Want me to go so you can sleep?" he offered looking like he really didn't want to leave, I shook my head, I didn't want him to go either, not yet. He grinned "So what do you like to do in your spare time? You have any hobbies or anything?" he asked looking really interested.
    I smiled "I love to read, I want to be a book editor when I leave college, I like to swim, I like dancing, I love watching scary movies as long as I'm not in the house on my own after and I love to eat strawberry cheesecake" I said trailing off a list of my favourite things.
    He smiled "What about things you hate?" he asked curiously.
    I grimaced "I hate it when people crack their knuckles, Trey does that all the time, drives me nuts, um, I hate spiders, I hate tequila and I hate getting bit by random boys at birthday parties" I said teasingly making him laugh his ass off. God he was so hot when he laughed! I rested my head against the back of the sofa, "Tell me yours" I said closing my eyes listening to his silky sexy voice.
    "I love playing football, eating, I eat a lot it's part of the shifter thing, I love old classic cars, I like to fix them in my spare time, I'm studying law, my Mom always wanted me to be a lawyer so I decided I'd do that for her" he said casually.
    I snapped my eyes open to look at him, "You don't want to be a lawyer but your doing it anyway?" I asked shocked.
    He shook his head frowning "No way, it's so boring, but it's what my Mom wanted for me so" he said trailing off. Oh god he is so adorable! He's studying Law because of his Mom but actually hated it?
    "That's incredible Jayden, seriously, you must have really loved your Mom, It's sweet" I said honestly.
    He grinned "Yeah or I'm a sucker for a sob story either way" he said laughing. I smiled, "I'm taking a weekend course in car's though, I should just about be a qualified Mechanic at the same time as I qualify as a Lawyer" he said laughing.
    "Wow a car fixing Lawyer, you don't see many of those these days" I said laughing, he grinned and rolled his eyes at me.
    God I was getting cold again! I could feel the
