The Alpha’s Human Mate

He stood up and went back to his seat to continue what he was doing on his computer. “Did no one teach you how to knock?” He asked without taking his eyes off the computer.

“Ouch, that was harsh,” Callum said, touching his chest in a dramatic way, before smiling. “Well, I wasn’t expecting to see that.” He said, smiling at him; he was so surprised when he entered the room that he had to even turn his back when he saw them.

“Then you should learn how to knock.” Alex said again. He was furious that he had barged in that way. If it were somebody else, he knew that the person wouldn’t be able to endure his wrath.

“I know you’re still angry. I’m sorry.” Callum said he also regretted barging in and stopping their nice time. “Hmm… I see why you insisted on her coming to work here. I’m so proud of you, dude.” Callum said, smiling at him, but Alex didn’t say anything; he only sighed and shook his head.

“So have you told her?” Callum asked. He was hoping maybe the girl already knew about them, but was surprised when Alex asked him back. “That?”

“About… you know… us.” Callum whispered. He was talking about werewolves.

Alex finally looked at him. “So you think she’ll still be here after knowing about it?” He asked, smirking at him.

“Are you not planning to tell her? What if she later finds out and hates you for it?” I mean, if… He asked, but kept quiet when Alex cut him off by saying, “OK, that’s enough. When did you start caring so much about my matters?” Alex asked.

“I’ve always cared about you, Alex. After all, I’m your beta and also your friend,” Callum said; he and Alex have been friends since childhood, which could make him talk to him that way despite being just his beta.

“Then, as your alpha, I’m ordering you to stop. Just do what you’re here to do and stop poking your nose in my matters.” Alex said to him. He knew that he was worried about him, but he also had a lot to think about, and answering questions was not what he wanted to be doing.

“Poke nosing? I’ll always pokenose in your matters. I hope you get that.” He said, but the man in front of him didn’t give him any answers; instead, he kept typing loudly.

She quickly ran to one of the restrooms on the last floor. She washed off her face and scrubbed her lips with soap.

She felt like she could still feel his lips on her; she kept scrubbing soap on them till her hands and face got red.

After some time, she washed off the soap on her lips and hands with water. She was so angry that she felt like pulling out her hair from her scalp, but she managed to calm herself down. “How dare he? How dare he take advantage of me?” She said, asking no one in particular.

“He’s such a shameless man. I wonder what his friend must be thinking of me right now.” Ellie said to herself: She stayed in the bathroom for a long time, contemplating whether to go back outside.

She finally went back to her table after almost an hour. “He must have left,” she said to herself.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

She hasn’t taken her seat yet when she saw the door to his office open. It was too late for her to run, so she just stood there, looking at the door.

The man was coming towards her. “Goodbye, Ms. Loren.” Callum said, smiling at her before taking the elevator; at least he had to make the best impression on his Alpha’s mate.

She just stood there, looking at the elevator, until it got closed. “What just happened?” She asked herself, wondering why he bid her goodbye with that sweet smile.

She was scared before, but was surprised when she saw the smile on his face. After some time, she continued her work, even though she couldn’t stop thinking about the kiss.

After work, she did not bother talking to him, and she also appreciated the fact that he didn’t bother talking or asking her anything. They went home in the same car, and she went straight to her room when she got home. She only went to the dining room to eat her food before going back to her room again.

The next morning was Saturday; she woke up early because of the dream she had.

She and Alex were kissing in their dream and were about to take the kissing to another level before she suddenly woke up from her sleep. And since then, she couldn’t sleep again.

She took her bath and got dressed so that she could meet Christina. They’ve planned to meet at a park; she had made up her mind to tell her everything.

She went downstairs and quickly had her breakfast before leaving the house. She has decided to just take a taxi, since she doesn’t want to talk to Alex about her chauffeur.

She knew that the distance from the house to the gate was a bit far, but to her, walking to the gate was much better than talking to him.

She was walking along the path when she saw Alex jogging towards her; he was wearing a sweatshirt that had already absorbed a lot of sweat.

His muscles and abs could be seen through the shirt because of the sweat all over his skin, which makes the cloth stick to his body.

He stopped jogging and walked to where she was standing. “No wonder he looks so good-looking; he cares so much for his body.” She thought, but quickly brushed the thoughts away.

“Where are you going?” He asked, looking at the bag she was holding and the way she was dressed.

“I’m going to see a friend.” She stuttered, looking at his chest, before she quickly looked away. She wasn’t expecting to see him there, so she couldn’t help but stutter. She had also practiced what to say to him when she saw him, but she was failing miserably.

A friend?! He asked with a surprised expression.

“Go back inside. You’re not going to meet anyone.” Alex said to her. He thought maybe she was going to see a man, which made his stomach churn. He didn’t want to even think of her going to meet a man, not sit and talk with a man.

“Huh? How can you tell me not to meet anyone? It’s my life, and I can meet anyone I want to meet.” She said, being surprised at his words.

He was so furious at her words that he kept looking at her in anger. “Have you forgotten you signed a contract, Ms. Loren?” He asked. He always calls her by her surname whenever he’s angry.

She was scared, but she mustered up her courage and said, “It was never in the contract to ask for your permission before I meet people, and there was also nothing like me not meeting with anyone I want.” She explained, trying not to look at his face or his body.

“Ha gosh, I should have added that.” He said to himself, remembering that he didn’t add anything like that to the contract. He sighed before asking, “This person you’re meeting with. Is it a man or a woman?”

She wondered what kind of question he had asked before answering. “A woman.”

“Fine. My driver will take you wherever you’re going. And also, be home before lunch,” he said before walking into the house.

Huh?! Lunch?! Do I look like a teenager to him? She asked, raising her voice in anger, but kept quiet when she saw the employees’ eyes on her. She smiled slightly before going to where his car was.
