The Alpha’s Human Mate

“Why are you here?” Alex asked.

“Well, that was not what I expected to hear first.” She said with a smile, but stopped when she saw that the man in front of her wasn’t even finding her funny; he was just typing something on his computer without looking at her. “I’m sure that you must have heard that mother is planning a party, and she, with the pack, would like for the both of us to be there.”

Alex finally looked at her and asked, “When did you start calling her mother?” He was referring to his mother. He knew why the girl came to his office; it was all his mother’s plan to get them closer. Maybe it will attract his mate.

“Listen here. If you’re here to persuade me, then I must say you’re not up to the task. It’s my pack, and I’m the alpha. No one can tell me what to do, not even my mother. I hope you get that, Sophie.” He said to her: If it were another person, he would have punished them for trying to even persuade him, but he had known the girl for a long time.

“Yes, I understand.” She answered with a weak smile. She has done so many things just to be with him ever since he couldn’t find his destined mate, but no matter how she dresses or tries to look beautiful for him, he just doesn’t want her.

Ellie had been looking at the door ever since Alex entered with Sophie. She couldn’t even concentrate on her work; she kept sighing every minute.

She looked at the time and saw that it was time for lunch. “I wonder what’s taking them so long.” She said to herself, She decided to just go to the cafeteria and have lunch herself.

She took the elevator to go back to the first floor, but she hadn’t gotten there when she saw a girl who told her that the cafeteria was on the third floor. When she got to the cafeteria, she saw how big and busy it was; a lot of employees were already seated and having their food.

Ellie also went towards the food counter and took some food. She walked towards the long seats and saw how people’s attention was diverted to her. She was about to walk towards an empty seat when she heard, “Ms. Loren! Over here!” Jeff called.

Ellie looked back and walked toward him with a smile. She was happy she had seen someone she knew; she was already nervous with all the eyes and whispers she was hearing while going to grab a seat.

“What are you doing here, Ms. Loren?” He asked as soon as the woman sat down. He was surprised to see her in the cafeteria for lunch when he knew where she always had her lunch.

“Mr. Warren is having a meeting with some lady, and I couldn’t wait till he finishes, so I decided to come here.” She said to the man with a smile. Jeff also nodded his head and smiled back at her. He wondered what Alex would do when he found out she had come here all by herself.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Ellie hadn’t taken up to three spoons of her food when she heard. “I told you she’s nothing but a cheap slut. I’m sure she got the position with her body.” A lady called Mandy whispered.

“I wonder what the CEO sees in her.” Another lady said: Ellie looked back at them and saw that they were the same ladies who were talking badly about her when she went to her first meeting. “She’s not even embarrassed.” The second lady spoke while some people beside them laughed.

“Hey! What nonsense are you both spouting?! Have you both gone insane?!” Jeff asked. He was so angry to hear the rubbish they were saying that he couldn’t stop himself from standing up; he knew the kind of trouble they could get into, especially for messing with the Luna.

“It’s fine; let’s just go.” Ellie whispered to him as she dragged him out of the cafeteria. She could hear their laughter as they leave, but she managed to ignore it.

“Ms. Loren, you shouldn’t let those kinds of people talk to you like that. You should put them in their place.” Jeff said this in the elevator. They were going back to the last floor.

“It’s fine; I just felt like there was no need to argue or fight with them.” Ellie said to him: She had never seen Jeff so concerned about her, which made her really surprised and appreciative. She also couldn’t stop thinking about how those ladies had embarrassed her. She felt like crying, but she held everything in.

The elevator opened, and they stepped out, only to see Alex and Sophie, who were also about to enter the elevator. Alex accompanied Sophie out of his office because he didn’t want her to look at Ellie or suspect her, but he was surprised by what he saw.

“What happened?” Alex asked, looking at Ellie. He knew something had happened with the way her face looked dull and the drop of tears that fell out of her left eye.

Ellie couldn’t stop the tears that dropped out of her eyes. She quickly used her hand to clean it and replied to him with a smile, “It’s nothing.”

“Nothing?” He asked but didn’t get a reply.

“I think we should go. She already said it was nothing.” Sophie said, looking at Alex. She was getting pissed at the fact that he was taking an interest in knowing about what was wrong with her. Alex looked back at the girl, which made her keep her mouth shut instantly, before turning towards Jeff. “Start answering my question now. What happened?”

Jeff bowed his head and shivered in fear. He couldn’t hold himself from spilling the beans, especially when the alpha was that furious. “Some ladies insulted Ms. Loren in the cafeteria. I’m sorry, sir; I should have stopped her from going.”

Alex was so angry to hear what he said; he didn’t even want to know what they said about her. The only thing he could think of was to make them pay. “Fire them. All of them, even those who shined their teeth. Fire all of them. I’m expecting fifty employees to be fired. Do you get me?

“Yes, sir,” Jeff replied.

“Wait. Please think about this. How can you fire fifty employees? They were not even up to ten. Please reconsider.” Ellie begged, but he didn’t listen. She knew he was definitely going to make it a big deal, which was why she didn’t want to tell him.

“Do what I told you to do, or you’ll also be submitting your resignation.” He warned Jeff without paying attention to Ellie, who was still begging him. He entered his office without even looking at Sophie, whom he had been following before. Ellie also followed him inside his office to beg him more.

Jeff left to do what the CEO asked him to do to avoid getting into more trouble with him, leaving only Sophie, who was just standing like a fool. “The rumors were true. The human girl has managed to trap an alpha who doesn’t even want anything close to a lady.” She whispered to herself, breathing heavily. She looked at the closed door and said something before walking out. “He only belongs to me.”
