Can't Get Near The Alpha King novel Chapter 71

"Well would you like some breakfast?" I ask, looking through the cupboards for ingredients.

"No Luna, you're still in weak state from this exertion of energy. I'll do it." He argues but I'm not having any of it.

"Sit down Benjamin." I order lightly and he does. Knowing the mention of 'Benjamin' means there is no debating with me.

Minutes into my cooking and I hear the large male come to my side and start to grab certain utensils.

"What are you doing?" I ask exasperatedly.

"Just setting the table, it's the least I can do." He answers and I then focus again on the food.

I slowly grab the newly mounted plates of cinnamon French toast, coated with summer fruits and a small bowl of maple syrup at the side to the counter. Ben's eyes grow wide and a small rumble leaves his mouth as he eye devours the plates.

"I swear Adella, none of this Luna crap. You need your own restaurant." He states in amusement and I chuckle at his endearing statement.

"Thank you Ben." I reply and then we both dive into our breakfast-lunch meal. Within minutes, both plates are cleared and we are both slurping our freshly squeezed orange juice.

"I genuinely mean it Adella, start up a restaurant or café and it would be so popular." Ben once again mentions but I shake my head.

"It's not that good and when do I have the time to be a chef?" I say in response and he shrugs.

After minutes of silence, I interrupt the placid setting with a question.

"How are you finding pack life here? Be honest."

"It's great, I'm one of the top warriors with my own squad. Our faculties and facilities are like no other. All of my friends here, they're my family as well. And my Luna and Alpha are tremendous, always kind but stern. I genuinely couldn't ask for anything better." He responds with pride, his eyes gleaming and his lips curled into a smile.

"Ben, you're-oh god-ah." I stutter, my eyes welling with emotion and tears threaten to fall.

He chuckles and takes me into his arms while I sigh lightly.

"What about your mate? Do you not want to search for her?" I question softly.

He stiffens at the mention of his 'mate' but still replies, "I've passed quite a few packs but couldn't get into them, you know as I was a rouge. I've never been that bothered as I couldn't see a way of me searching for her, without myself being harmed."

"Would you like to find her?" I return and he ponders for a while but then looks down into my eyes.

"Yes."

I look back upto his eyes and a sweeping smile forms on my face.

"Oh I'm missing you so much, how are you? How is everything?" He asks.

"All fine, for both questions. We're just getting the finishing touches ready for the first group of pack members for 'Mate Quest #1'."

"Great. I was thinking, that because of the fact I'm I'm North America now anyways that I can just meet you at one of the packs."

"That's amazing, great idea Ash. Which pack would you estimate it would be? From the map I sent you earlier?"

"Most likely, Rivener Pack. I can't wait to see you."

"Oh I'm missing you so much, my illness hasn't returned so that's good as well."

"I'm glad to hear that darling. Unfortunately I have to go now but I'll see you in around four days."

"I love you Ash. See you soon." With that, I end the call and send a mindlink immediately to Group 1.

Be ready to leave tomorrow everyone. If you've finished packing then the coach will be open this afternoon for cases at the main entrance.

In response I hear many: yes, I'm syked, I haven't packed yet, I need so many suitcases for three weeks, I need to go shopping, should I bring condoms?...
