Can't Get Near The Alpha King novel Chapter 11

The fact that Ashton and I are mates will be revealed in that speech. Just finally have a good time and don't cause any trouble." With that we leave my house and head for the Social House and reach it within five minutes.

Once we're there all the men look for their names and sit on their tables, my pack members are already seated and talking between themselves. All bowing their heads when I, Ashton and Blake head to our table.

Our starters are delivered within ten minutes of arriving, I look around seeing everyone chatting and looking happy, I see some men sitting with a girl, looking lovestruck - that's what your mate does to you.

The starter consists of halloumi stuffed peppers and fried ravioli, did I mention that werewolves have a massive appetite?Well they do, it's very hard to feed for.

I'm on a table with Ashton, Blake, Jackson, one of Ashton's best fighters - Theo. He's very funny just like Jackson but is quite shy, that's why I haven't seen much of him round, also on my table are Ella, Anna, James and his mate Lily.

Blake is sitting opposite me making lots of conversation which I'm appreciative of, I have Ashton sitting beside me, very closely, our thighs touching - but also not wanting to have much PDA as the announcement hasn't been made yet.

The starters are cleared up by our maids, these ones are hired human ones so all of the pack members are present for this meal. I stand up and make my way to the stage, when I get to the stage it's silent - everybody waiting for me to speak, all eyes on me.

"Hello everyone. I hope you're all enjoying yourselves and getting to know the Lyndon Ridge Pack members. I have some important matters to tell you, that's why many of you haven't seen me much in the past few days - I've been dealing with a lot and have been locked up in my office.

First of all I have found my mate, he is the Alpha of Lyndon Ridge Pack - Alpha Ashton." When I said this the hall erupted in excited whispers, people turning their heads to talk to the people next to them. Many people's eyes flitting from me to Ashton, many nodding their heads approvingly.

"Okay everyone I still have some more news so quieten down and let me speak and then you can talk. Many of you might be wondering what is going to happen that we are both Alphas and have packs and territories to run. Well Alpha Ashton has offered to move here, we have the capability to hold more members - there will be an additional 700 members joining. We haven't got a precise date yet of when they will be fully settled in and here but should be at the latest 3 months.

That's very big news, yes, but also exciting. Onto the last matter, as some of you know we have had more rogues showing up at our boarders asking things, some just hovering - I want all guards being cautious as we don't know what they want or what they are willing to do.

With the join of Lyndon Ridge Pack we will now have well over 1,000 members. Now I won't go into any further details but I will send you all a letter to your houses in the next few days that covers all you will need to know. For now, have a good evening!"

My one and only love.

adella pov -

After the meal and the socialising Ashton and I head back to my house, and tonight it's only us two staying there.

The other members of his pack are staying in another guest house and my members went back to their own houses as they knew I would be safe with Ashton, after all he is my mate.

We arrive back at the house in a short time, once we're there we both head upstairs - he says goodnight and slowly walks to his bedroom door and slowly twists the knob of the door, all while keeping eye contact - as if he is testing me.

In those seconds I think what am I doing, letting my mate sleep in his own room? I make my decision - I grab his arm and bring him to my room, I hear no protests - this pleases me.
