Can't Get Near The Alpha King novel Chapter 72

With that, I finish off my remaining paperwork and leave my office and return to my bedroom.

I whip out Ashton's suitcase, it's so big that I've always wondered why he needs it but now I'm thankful.

I hum along to 'American Boy' by Estelle as I start packing. Myself needing formal and informal clothes, not too bothered as I'm not trying to impress a newfound mate.

I also pack my sexy lingerie, for mine and Ashton's nights. Our bodies missing one another's desperately.

I look at my rimmed suitcase, I groan as I realise I won't be able to close it by myself.

Ben, are you free to come over for fifteen minutes? I mindlink and continue to try to close my case but I give up in the end. Knowing it's a lost cause.

No stories available.

Two minutes later, my bedroom door opens and I see Ben's head peak round the side.

"Yes Adella?" He asks as he enters the room.

"Please may you help me close this. I need some proper brute force." I ask and he immediately nods.

We giggle and laugh for ages as we struggle to shut it. At one point, some of my sexy underwear fell out and Ben gave me some sly looks.

I huff in delight as the zippers finally meet each other and we both stand cautiously, waiting for the case to fly open and for my belongings to go flying but that doesn't happen.

"Would you like me to carry it downstairs?" Ben offers and I nod eagerly and say a small "thanks".

"Have you packed?" I ask Ben and he nods his head in return.

"Well I'm about to do a couple of rounds to collect cases, is yours ready to go?" I question and he nods, then murmurs a "thank you" while heaving my case down the bottom step.

He soon leaves while I drag my case to my 2016 Mercedes Benz G Class car, my baby.

Are any of you ready for me to take cases? I'm going to do some rounds? I offer over mindlink and hear many 'yes please Luna' replies.

I start the car up after locking the house and drive slowly down my gravel drive and out towards the houses of some of my members.

"Luna? What's happening?" Ben hurriedly questions while running over to me.

My confusion is written all over my face, but that isn't the biggest problem here. He whips off the blankets and hoodies off me before running to the bathroom.

He returns with a wet, cool cloth in hand and rubs it over my sweat soaked face, neck and collarbone.

I hear a snap before the pain is reignited and I view my left arm contorting into an awkward angle. My back lurches me forward again from the pain soaring through my left shoulder.

I squeeze my eyes shut and scream in agony when I hear Ben stutter under his breath, "Jesus, you're shifting."

I force my eyes open and view my foreign white fur spreading through my left side. The pain now uncontrollably spreading to my chest and I look at Ben with wide eyes. The view is reciprocated as I see him struggling to help me.

He firmly grips my hand and rubs my hand in a soothing manner.

"Just accept the pain, like the first time." Ben states in a soft voice and his eyes look pained at my state.

I huff angrily but then fall back in my mind and let my body change. My arms and legs snapping, but only then to be quickly covered in my white fur.
