The Alpha’s Mate

(Elena P. O. V)

It has been almost a month since I settled in New York, and I love it. The pay is amazing, and I’m managing my bills and even paying off some of my college debt. Thank God for my parents, because I don’t have that much debt, but it’s still there. I also support my mother’s hospital bills. She has almost fully recovered but still needs to go to the hospital for routine check-ups to ensure her cancer doesn’t return.

I was very surprised when I found out that Reena, whom I met in D’Mart, is actually my boss Xavier’s secretary. We have so much in common and have become best friends in just a few weeks. We’ve also hung out with her and her boyfriend, Govind, but they always make sure I don’t feel like a third wheel.

I’ve also been able to reconnect with old friends I lost contact with due to losing their numbers. Everyone had the same question about why I broke up with Oliver. I guess Oliver didn’t tell them the reason for our breakup. I mean, who would believe that werewolf nonsense? But I didn’t get much time to converse with them, so I promised to meet them this or next Sunday.

I walked into the huge building that two months ago was so intimidating, but now I grew accustomed, to it. I walk up to the elevator greeting my friend Erica on the way, she’s the receptionist and I made friends with her after a view week when I came in soaking because of the rain and she got me some spare clothes.

“Hold the elevator,” I hear somebody yell.

Without looking up from my phone, while busy texting I put my hand in between closing the door, stopping them from closing. And in walks somebody. The elevator doors close and I look up from my phone, there are only two people in the elevator, me and nobody else than the flying fucking CEO of this company Xavier McKnight.

He’s smirking at me with his famous player smirk, “Ah miss Dawson, finally able to put your boyfriend away.” Mister McKnight says I look at him my mouth hanging slightly ajar.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

“Why would you care?” I say, regretting my comment immediately.

I overstepped my boundary there.”I’m sorry sir I shouldn’t have said that it was unprofessional.”

“It’s okay, Miss Dawson.” He says still with a smirk on his face.

“But you should watch out Miss Dawson when you text your boyfriend, you could get into an accident if you don’t watch out.”

I see on the screen that shows which floor we’re on that we’re almost on my floor.

“Well Mister McKnight, I don’t think that will happen very soon, seeing that I do not have a boyfriend.” And just as I say that the elevator doors show my floor. I started to walk out of the elevator. And I could have sworn that, I heard Mister McKnight say good, weird. Why would it be good for him that I don’t have a boyfriend?

It has been 2 months since Elena started working here, I was planning to ask her out but didn’t get the time to reach her and as her out because I was busy opening the new branches and exploring my company all over the world and also I didn’t want to alarm her by asking her out too early for a date.

However, I have to think something fast about asking her before someone else asks her out. I was busy but was not too busy to keep an eye on her and saw how the males are running after her to get her attention it irk me and my wolf to see that, they didn’t give up even after she rejects him, otherwise, I don’t know how will I be able to stop my wolf from killing them.

I come back from my morning run and go to my Gym to do some workouts. After that, I walk inside the washroom to take a shower. I get ready and walk downstairs to see Abby cooking my favorite breakfast.

“Good morning, Abby,” I said kissing her on her cheek and sitting on my chair.

“Good morning,” she said while giving me a bowl of oats and eating my favorite breakfast in front of me.

“What the–” I said and trial of.

“Abby, what is the meaning of this? You know I don’t like oats, right?” I ask confused by her behavior.

“It’s your punishment for not letting me meet with your mate and the future Luna of our pack,” she said with a pout.

“Abby, it’s not like I don’t want you to meet her, it’s just that, she is a human, unlike us werewolves and Lycians who need others to woo them. and make them fall in love with us,” I explained to her.

“I know, but what I don’t understand is what are you waiting for. Are you waiting for someone else to woo her, huh?” she asks while glaring at me.

“Abby,” I said in my alpha tone not liking her disrespecting me.

“I am sorry. it’s just… it’s just,” she trails off while looking down at her hands in shame.

“It’s okay Abby, I know you didn’t mean to disrespect me, but please give me some time, okay?” I ask her.

“Okay, 2 months, I am giving you only 2 months and not more than that, okay,” she said narrowing her eyes at me.

“Now would you give me, my breakfast please?” I ask smiling at her. She said sure and made me a plate of my favorite breakfast.

After eating breakfast, I said goodbye to Abby and walked toward my car. It takes half an hour for me to reach my office. I walk out of the car then, then take my mobile out to check some emails when I see it’s 9:15 am. Shit, I was late, I thought and started to walk faster and see the elevator was closing.

“Hold the elevator,” I shout at my mate and run towards the elevator while she just stretches her hand to stop the elevator while still busy tying in her mobile. She needs to learn to put her phone away for some time, I thought while pressing the button on my floor.

“Ah miss Dawson, finally able to put your boyfriend away,” I said when I saw her put her phone in her pocket.

“Why would you care?” She said arrogantly at me and I felt my alpha aura getting darker by her comment.

“I’m sorry sir I shouldn’t have said that it was unprofessional.” She said after realizing her mistake.

“It’s okay, Miss Dawson,” I said smirking at her.

“But you should watch out Miss Dawson when you text your boyfriend, you could get into an accident if you don’t watch out,” I said, my smirk still intact on my face, while she looks at the screen which showed the number of the floor we are passing through.

“Well Mister McKnight, I don’t think that will happen very soon, seeing that I do not have a boyfriend.” She said then walked out of her elevator when we reached her floor.

“Good,” I said when she was almost out of my reach. My wolf and I were content with the information not wanting someone to come between her, which would only make the matter complicated.

Now that my way is clear, I have to come up with a plan as soon as possible.

My thoughts were cut off when I heard the ping of the elevator indicating that I had reached my floor I walked out of the elevator and walked towards the conference room with my secretary on my tail informing me about the agenda of the meetings.
