The Alpha’s Mate

(Elena P. O. V)

I tried to rest before the party but couldn’t do that because I felt that something would happen at the party. So I decided to do some work instead. I took my laptop out of my bag and started to prepare the report I had to submit on Friday.

After a few hours, I look up at the clock and see I still have some time to get ready for the party. I started to feel hungry and walked downstairs to see Abby making some to eat.

“Do you need something, Elena?” Abby asks me.

“Yeah, I was feeling hungry, so I came here to find something to eat,” I said, smiling at her.

“Good, I was thinking of bringing some tea and snacks. To your room,” Abby said while smiling at me and serving me freshly made bread and muffins with herbal tea. We have tea together while talking about Xavier and us.

“You have no idea how happy I was that time when Xavier told me he likes someone he would like to spend his life with. I was seriously getting irritated with all his hook-ups,” Abby said while smiling at me, and I just smiled at her, not having anything to say about that to her.

“Oh, look at the time. It’s a wonder how time passes when you are having so much fun. You should go and get ready for the party,” Abby said to me and walked out of the kitchen after cleaning it. I look at the look and see that it’s almost time to head for the party. I walk to my room and step inside the washroom to shower after putting in everything I need for the party.

After a shower, I dry myself and get dressed. I’m wearing a dress covered in black lace, with black strappy Louboutin heels. And simple, elegant make-up. I nervously smooth down my dress, and I check my make-up one last time in the mirror. I pick up my clutch and check if I have everything, bag check, mobile – check. Okay, I have everything.

I walk downstairs to see Xavier waiting for me in a striking black suit with a white button-up. When he sees me, his mouth falls open. He eyes me up and down.

“You look amazing,” Xavier says with his mouth still hanging open.

“Thanks, you don’t look too bad yourself either.” I say, “Now close your mouth, or you’re going to catch flies.” I added with a wink.

“We still have some time until we head to the party. Would you like to have a drink?” Xavier asks me while taking out two glasses from his, selves and a bottle of red wine from his fridge.

“No, I will pass,” I said to him.

“I think you should grab a drink. You look nervous. Is it your first time attending a charity party?” he asks me.

“Yes, even if it was an office party, there were going to be media bothering us about our relationship status,” I said while fidgeting with my hand.

“That’s why I asked you for a drink. It will help to calm your nerves; besides, a sip or two won’t hurt, would it?” Xavier asks while passing the glass to me with a smile on his face. I took a few sips of wine, and it calmed me down.

After some time, the driver came and took my bag from me, and led us to the car. It only took us half an hour to reach the mansion or hall, where the party was.

We drive up to the red carpet and stop right in front of it. Xavier squeezed my hand as reassurance. Although the windows are tinted so people can’t look inside, I can still see the many media flashes of cameras.

Xavier holds out his hand for me to grab, and I hold on to it. Like it’s my lifeline.

Xavier opens the door of the car and steps out onto the red carpet. He helps me out of the car, and immediately cameras are flashing everywhere, not wanting to miss this moment.

“Xavier McKnight, is this the mystery girl from the restaurant? ” I hear a reporter ask.

“Is she your girlfriend?” I hear another reporter ask him.

Everywhere around me, I hear Xavier’s name being called by the reporters, trying to get Xavier to answer some of their questions. The security is straining to keep them at a safe distance from us. I know that the media will go crazy after the news in the newspaper, but I was not ready for this. It was too intense.

We hurry inside, trying to ignore the cameras going off around us. When we are inside. and the doors are closed behind us, Xavier looks at me worriedly. I’m still a little bit shaken by all the fuss made by the media outside the hall.

“Are you okay?” Xavier asks, searching my face for any singes of serious distress.

“Yeah, just a little bit shaken up. I didn’t expect that. I’m not used to all that attention.”

We walk up towards the big double doors leading us to the event, and the event is already in full swing as we can hear the music through the doors.

The doors are opened by two butlers smiling at us nicely. Xavier drapes his arm around my waist, easing some of my stress. We walk through the doors, and I can immediately feel all the eyes burning on me. I see the jealous stares of some women wishing to be me. At the same time, some other men were wishing to be Xavier right now. But one particular person catches my attention.

Oliver

What the hell is he doing here? Isn’t this party to be for all the influential people or benefactors of Xavier’s company and personal friends? He looks seriously pissed right now. Is he angry with me for moving on in my life so soon? But Xavier and I haven’t become a real couple yet. But the way we are standing with Xavier’s arm on my shoulder, people will think we are a couple.

But he shouldn’t be pissed at me, it’s not like we are still couples, and I am cheating on him. Or does he think that we are still a couple? He doesn’t, does he?

(Oliver’s P. O. V.)

The big doors open, catching my attention. I look up to see who is arriving, maybe some late people. But instead, I’m greeted with the sight of Xavier and his date. Elena looks stunning in that dress. I look around and see all the men staring at her. I growl possessively. I then notice the arm that is draped around Ellena’s waist.

I was surprised that I didn’t want to shatter him into pieces. And this only upsets me even more. He is holding my mate in his arms. Shouldn’t I be pissed at him?

*No, you can’t, because, like us, he and his wolf is also Elena’s mate* my wolf said to me.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

*What? But how is it possible? besides, how do you know that they are mates too?* I ask my wolf.

“Yes, it’s possible. Don’t ask me how because even I don’t know about it. Maybe your father can shed some light on it. And about how I know that they are mates, it’s because of the way he was looking at her. He looks at her the same way we looked at Elena when we were with her. ” my wolf said to me.

“Don’t do it, Oliver. We can’t lose him; the pack can’t survive without his money,” Manson says. I growl slightly at him, trying to get my wolf under control.

“Kill those bastards,” My wolf possessively says, angry by all the men undressing her with their eyes. I see them getting a seat at the head table. We sit fairly close to them.
