Alpha Daddy novel Chapter 20

I smiled in triumph as they turned away quickly. "Zoey!" A sugary sweet voice called out as the familiar blonde cutie elegantly ran up to Zoey with that lady glaring at Natalia's back.

"Hi, this is my mommy." Zoey grinned pointing at me. "Hello." She grinned showing off two adorable dimples. "Hi Joey." She giggled looking behind me. "H-hi Po-Poppy." He blushed rubbing the back of his neck. I almost awed at the sight before me. This was too adorable for words.

"Well we better be on our way, before this guy's late." I smiled pointing at a blushing Joey. "Okay bye Miss - just call me Ari." I smiled. She blushed and quickly nodded. "Okay bye Ari." She giggled before turning to Joey. "Bye Jojo." She grinned before kissing his cheek and skipping away with Zoey. "Love you mommy!" She yelled before running to the mirror with Natalia.

"Bye Poppy." Joey whispered staring at the back of her. I chuckled and turned him away leading him to the baseball field. "Lets go lover boy."

As we neared the feilds I caught sight of a familiar mop of blonde hair. "Jake!" I called out. He turned and grinned as he saw me. "My God Jake! I haven't spoken to you in forever!" I pouted throwing my arms around him. "I know." He sighed pulling me tightly against him. I sighed in content and breathed in his familar scent before letting go.

"Hey there Jo." He smiled hugging him. "Hi Jake." He smiled back but glanced back at the doors we just came through. Jake frowned and looked at me. I chuckled and mouthed Poppy. He laughed and nodded.

"Why dont you go with the other boys and warm up." He suggested nodding over the orher side of the field with twenty other boys.

Joey nodded and gave me a hug before running off. "Natalia has him wrapped around her pretty little finger." Jake laughed leaning against the fence. I chuckled and nodded in agreement.

Should I ask him why he wasn't answering me? Or should I just let it go. I mean we're talking perfectly fine right now.... that mea s he doesn't hate me ... right?

"What are you thinking about?" Jake whispered smoothing out the lines across my forehead. I breathed in as he stood inches away from me. My wolf growled at annoyance that he was near us again.

"Why don't you want to talk to me?" I blurted out. I blushed as I realised how highschool that sounded. "I love talking to you Aria." He frowned. I sighed and bit my lip.

"You weren't answering my calls." I said glacing away from his blue-green eyes. He ohed and wrapped his arms around my body.

"I was 'ordered'' to stay away from you." He rolled his eyes. I frowned and slightly pulled away. "From who."

"What do you want." I cringed at the harshness but shrugged it off. It wasn't about me. "We need to talk." I stated trying to sound unaffected by his tone.

"I dont want to talk to you." He laughed. I laid my hand on my chest as I felt that familiar tug of sadness. But once again I shoved away my feelings and my wolf's pathetic whines. "We need to talk about the twins ... Alpha." Since he was acting like a total dick who wanted nothing to do with me.

I decided to call him Alpha. It wasnt a huge deal. But it just reassured him I saw him as nothing but my alpha.

"Come to the pack house." He muttured. I nodded jumping into my car. "Okay." I said clearly starting the car hanging up.

Twenty minutes later I parked in the pack driveway. I bit my lip and leaned back in my seat. This was the first time I would see him since the woods. I still couldn't forget that heartbroken look he gave me.

It haunted me every night. I took a deep breath before jumping out of my car and inside the pack house.
