Chapter 186

There were still times were a few of the guys would disappear together. Adan reassured me that they were just doing the routine checks. It was his turn. He had left with Cole and Jake ten minutes ago. Scanning the garden my eyes landed on Emma and Ray. They were laughing and dancing on the make shift dance floor made of white wood decking. Dera sat with Jaxson and Harmony, they too were laughing about something, whilst my parents were still sat with Sara and Alpha Peter. Of course by now, their table had filled up. Alpha Tom and Delilah were sat next to my parents, listening to whatever story my mom was telling them all. Something heavy sat in my stomach and it hit me with sadness that I was the only one not happy. I wasn't sitting, surrounded by people, laughing and talking. I was standing as far as I could away from everyone and I knew why. My eyes took one last look over the crowd, but he wasn't there. Jude hadn't come.
