Can't Get Near The Alpha King novel Chapter 50

He looks down at me and wipes away a stray tear and has a puzzled look, "What is it?" I shake my head and wrap my arms round his chest.

"Nothing just miss my parents, sometimes I have bad days." He then nods and wraps his arms back round me.

"How about having some people round today, have a Barbie?" I offer and look into his eyes and he nods enthusiastically. With that I go upstairs and wash while Ash contacts the people that are coming round and also some men to go and get some food and drink.

I look at myself in the mirror and smile sadly, my long white hair flowing to below my breasts along with my boring, pale complexion. However I don't dwell on the negative things, instead I get out my groovy red dungaree dress along with a white ruffled bandeau top and white original converse.

I go downstairs once I've straightened my hair and put a small amount of makeup on. The tables full with food already and I search for Ashton, instead I see him outside frying some food on the barbeque. His right hand flipping some meat while his left hand holding a bottle of beer.

Despite it being mid March now, it's not too cold as the sun always shines in the evenings so we mostly sit outside with the warmers. The Barbie always being used from the middle of March to late September.

"Hey honey, everyone should be arriving in the next ten minutes and all the food is mostly ready, so you can relax." Ashton calls to me. I'm currently walking towards him and once I reach him; I give him a peck on the cheek and wrap my arms around him so I'm face is pressed against his back.

"Who exactly is everyone?" I question, wanting it to be all the close friends. Have a good last day.

"Blake, James and Lily, Nick, Kira, Jackson, Theo, Ben, Ella and Anna and her mate." He replies and I hum in approval, a good group of people coming.

I walk back inside and make a bowl of Pimms, for the women. Around ten minutes later, just as I'm finishing the drinks and there are numerous knocks on the door.

"Come in." I shout and turn my focus back into finishing the drinks. Once I've completed the alcoholic beverages, I face the guests.

"Hey Adella." James says to me while Lily comes and gives me a small hug, for a moment I thought I smelt another scent with hers but then I sniffed again but nothing showed.

They carry some desserts and I thank them, even though we told them not to bring any food as we had enough.

I hurry to the door and open it to reveal Kira, Ella and Anna along with her mate. I let them all in and everyone greets them, we all then start eating. All of us discussing general and sometimes personal topics, the afternoon turning out to be great. Lily and James then stand up and face everyone.

"We've got some news..." Lily starts and then looks lovingly into James's eyes and he finishes the sentence.

"We're expecting." With that everyone congratulates and talks to them about everything or anything. I look at them with sad eyes, not only for the fact that I'm not having children yet but also that I'll be leaving these lovely people tonight.

I excuse myself from the table and walk subtly into the bathroom wiping the stray tears from my eyes. I feel a presence behind me and I look, expecting to see Ash but instead standing there is Ben.

I look at him questioningly and he walks closer, his arms extended allowing me to be embraced by his arms. I lean into him and let the tears fall, knowing he'll understand my upset.
