The Alpha’s Human Mate

“So, I guess that’s solved.” Callum said, trying to ease the tension in the air.

“You guess?” Alex scoffed. “How do we give her the potion? You do realize we have to either put it in her food or pour it on her. So don’t tell me it’s solved.” He said in anger. He has always been like that whenever he’s angry, always making people take the blame because he will never take blame for anything.

“Just calm down, Alex; I have a plan.” Callum said, before moving closer to him to sit beside him.

“What is it?” He asked, looking at him like he was saying gibberish.

“Well, I will set up a party at the club for the new employees. We just have to put it in her drink at the club.” He answered with a smile.

“So she can turn into a witch in front of everyone?” Alex asked, raising his eyebrows, but Callum sighed. “Well, we can lure her outside, you know.”

“Are you suggesting I kidnap her?” He asked again.

“Do you want to be married to her then? Because I really don’t understand you. Callum said, surprised that he was not acting interested in the plan. “You’re being so negative.”

Alex looked at him for some time before he finally stood up and said, “Fine, I’ve heard you. Close the door when you’re leaving.” He left the room, leaving him all alone.

“I really can’t believe him. He just keeps getting worse.” Callum grumbled to himself, watched him walk up the stairs before walking out of the house.

The next morning, she got ready and got into her Uber. She was so nervous that she couldn’t help, but keep rubbing her sweaty hands together.

“I hope I don’t see him today.” She thought. “What if I see him again? What will I say?” Different thoughts kept going through her mind till she got to the company.

She entered her office with a sullen and moody face. She tried to hide it, but she couldn’t stop herself from getting worried. “Ellie!” Christina called out, walking towards her.

“Hi! I’m sorry about yesterday. I was not in the mood.” Ellie apologized; she knew that her attitude might have gotten her upset.

“Oh no. I should apologize instead; you were in a bad mood, and I kept on adding my own problem.” Christina said, apologizing back to her. They finally apologized to each other and started talking, even though Ellie still couldn’t stop the fear in her heart.

When it was lunch, they went to the cafeteria together, ate, and went back to their cubicle to start working again. She was still on her laptop when Christina came with a smile on her face. “Guess what, Ellie?”

“What?” She asked, seeing that she was so happy.

“I told you to guess. Don’t worry, I’ll tell you. The CEO invited all the new employees to the club this night. He wants to have a welcoming party for us. Can you believe that?!” Christina said, smiling so happily, but Ellie just stood there in shock. “A welcome party?” She asked, as if she didn’t understand her.

“Yeah, a welcome party. I’ll finally get to see him and be in the same room with him. Oh my goodness, I’m so happy.” Christina said, patting her red cheeks in happiness.

“Well, I don’t think I can go. I have a lot of things to do at home,” Ellie said with a weak voice.

“You can do that another day, because the CEO told us we must attend or we might be fired.” Christina replied.

“What? Fired? All because of not attending a welcome party.” Ellie asked with a surprised and angry expression. It felt so strange to her.

“Well, that was what he said. Just go; it will be fun. Come on,” Christina said.

“Fine, I’ll go.” Ellie said with a weak smile. Christina also smiled back and left her to go to her cubicle. She sighed and thought. “A welcome party? I hope he doesn’t come. What if he comes? Oh my goodness, I’m going crazy.” She sat down and put her head on the table.

After work, Christina went to her cubicle. “Do you think we should change our clothes? I mean, we shouldn’t wear office clothes to the club. Should we?” Christina asked, feeling insecure about her clothes.

“I think it’s okay; moreover, people are definitely going to go there after work. So I don’t think there’s enough time to change,” Ellie said. If she had superpowers right then, she would definitely disappear back to her house without thinking of clothes to wear to a club.

“Well, you’re right. Let’s go.” They left the company and took a cab to a big club in the city, the same one she got drunk in. She looked at the building and sighed before following Christina in. Christina went towards a VIP room, which some bouncers were guarding. They showed them their IDs and entered the room.

They saw the other employees already having fun. They both looked around to find the people they were looking for, but they couldn’t see them. They grabbed their seats, and Christina ordered drinks.

Just then, a lady walked up to them and said, “Oh, I see you also came. Here I was, thinking you wouldn’t come.” It was the girl Ellie found with Sam at the entrance of the company.

“And why would you think that she wouldn’t come? You’re also here, so why wouldn’t she come?” Christina asked the girl with her eyebrows raised. The girl got angry but tried to hide it with a smile to avoid causing a scene. “Who are you, bitch?”

“I’m her friend, so back off, BITCH.” Christina replied, emphasizing the word. The girl looked at her and groaned in anger before leaving.

“Thank you,” Ellie said. “You don’t have to thank me; we’re friends, but next time, don’t give girls like her any chance to talk to you that way.” Christina advised.

Before Ellie could reply, the door opened, and two men walked into the room, but it was only one of them that caught her attention. Her heart started beating frantically.
