The Alpha’s Human Mate

“Where are you? Is the job done?” Callum asked over the phone.

“No job is done; that human is my mate.” Alex replied that he still couldn’t fathom what was going on. “How can fate keep playing with him this way? Why would the moon goddess destined him with a human mate despite being forbidden?” He thought and sighed.

“What? How is that possible?” Callum asked, wondering what was going on. “So if she’s not a witch, are you saying you’re mated to a human?” He was also worried because he knew the kind of trouble the both of them might go through.

“I don’t know, so don’t ask me any questions. I’m hanging up now; I’m not in the mood for your questions.” Alex said.

“Huh? What about the party going on? What do I tell these people?” Callum asked, whispering over the phone.

“Are you a fool? Tell them, The party is over; aren’t you the CEO?” Alex said before hanging up and tossing his phone away.

On the other side of the phone, Callum told everyone he had something important to do, so they had to stop the party.

Christina searched for her friend, but she couldn’t find her. “Maybe she has gone home.” She thought; she took her phone to call her, but she didn’t pick it up.

She decided to call her again before she saw that the CEO was about to get into the car. She quickly ran to him, almost bumping into him. “Sir!” She said, standing before him with a smile.

“Hey!”

“I’m Christina Jones, from the sales department.” She introduced with a beautiful smile on her face.

“Yeah, I know.” He said to her, “Why does she smile so much?” He thought, before asking. “So?”

“Oh yeah, I thought maybe you could please give me a ride to the nearest bus station.”

Noticing his weird glare on her, she said, “Not that I’m trying to boss you around, sir; the thing is that I couldn’t see any taxis from here, so I’m wondering if you could help me home, I mean the bus station.”

She expected him to talk, but he just kept staring at her. “I would have gone with my friend, but I couldn”t find her anywhere. I guess I’ll get going then.” She said before moving forward to leave, but stopped when she heard. “Wait! Your friend? Was she the one you were sitting with the other time?” He asked, looking at her.

“Yes, her name is Ellie Loren.” She replied, smiling. “Oh my goodness, he noticed me in the club.” She thought, smiling more than before.

“I see. Get in.” He said, opening the front seat of the car for her.

In the car. None of them said anything to each other. Christina wanted to start a conversation with him, but she didn’t know where or how to start. After what seemed like forever, Callum finally asked. “So, your friend; how long have you known her?”

“A week and a half.” She replied, which caught Callum off guard. “What? A week? I thought you said she’s your friend.” He asked with a surprised expression.

“Yeah, she’s my friend, whom I have known for a week and a half now.” Christina answered.

“A week and a half.” He scoffed. “I wonder what your definition of friend is.” He whispered, thinking she would not hear him.

“Well, anyone I talk to and vibe with is my friend.” She said, looking at his face.

“Does that also make me a friend, or are we not getting along well?” He asked, looking back at her before focusing on the road. Christina thought she heard wrong; her heart was beating fast, and her face was starting to get red.

“Hmm? of course. You’re like a friend, sir.” She said, looking at her sweaty fingers. “You can drop me right there.” She said, pointing towards the bus stop. He also didn’t say a word; he stopped the car where she told him to.

“Thank you so much, sir.” She said, bowing her head before opening the car knob. “Good night, sir.”

“Good night, Ms. Jones.” He said before speeding off. She watched the car move away before smacking her head lightly. “Why did you have to act like a fool?” She said to herself before stopping a taxi.

The next day. Christina made sure to come early to work so as to ask Ellie where she was last night and what happened with Callum. “I can’t believe you, Ellie; you ditched me last night.”

“I’m sorry, something urgent came up, so I had to leave without telling you.” Ellie said, pouting her lips.

“Oh! I hope everything is fine.” She asked, and Ellie replied yes. They talked about what happened last night, and Christina told her about Callum. She noticed that Christina just kept smiling; anyone could tell that she liked the guy.

Even though Ellie has told that weird guy off, she couldn’t help but feel scared that he might come back, especially his friend, who was her boss. She will definitely have to see him again one day.

They talked for some time before Christina finally left for her office.

The following week, everything was going well. The weird guy didn’t show his face. She hasn’t even seen her boss’s face after the night of the welcome party, even though Christina is kind of sad not to see him.

Her week was going well, but she still sees Sam and that slim girl together, which makes her more upset and jealous.

She woke up early to get ready for work, prepared her breakfast, and was about to eat when she felt disgusted by the omelet she made. She felt dizzy and sat down on a nearby chair. She has been feeling this way since yesterday.

She called her workplace to request a day off, so she decided to use that to visit the hospital.

“Ma’am, the results of the test we carried out are out.” The doctor said, smiling at her. “You’re three weeks pregnant.” He continued.

“Huh?!”
