The Alpha’s Human Mate

She got ready for work the next day. Jasmine had also left her after a lot of advice she had given her, but despite that, she still hadn’t given up. She met a doctor online who had assured her about aborting the baby.

She entered the company and went to her cubicle by elevator. She was about to enter when she saw Christina running towards her. Hey! How are you? Why didn’t you come on Friday? She asked, throwing in a series of questions.

“Oh! I had some urgent matters to solve with my mom, so I had to ask for a leave.” She lied. She didn’t want to tell her that she went to the hospital to avoid more questions or suspicion. “No one must find out until I find a way to abort the baby.” She thought.

“Oh ok. I wanted to visit you, but I didn’t even know where my friend lives. Can you believe that?” Christina said, bursting out into laughter, while Ellie only gave her a weak smile. They went back to their cubicles after talking.

At lunchtime, Christina came to take Ellie to the cafeteria. Even though she was not in the mood to talk or have lunch, she decided to follow her after Christina’s persistence. They ate and talked, but Christina did most of the talking as usual. Ellie only gave a weak smile when talked to.

They finished eating and stood up to go back to their respective jobs. They were about to enter the elevator when someone called Ellie’s name from behind. Hey! Sam said, standing before them. He turned towards Christina and said, smiling at her. “Hi,” Christina also replied and turned towards Ellie.

“I will see you later then,” christina said. She understood that she had to give them space, so she left.

“Hi Sam, how’re you doing?” Ellie asked. She was a bit happy and surprised to see him standing before her.

“I’m good.” He said, still flashing his teeth at her. He had been watching her from the moment she entered the cafeteria. He followed after her when he saw her leaving. “I was just wondering if you’ll like to havedinner with me today. I mean, it’s been long since do that, so why not today?”

“Oh, tonight?! I don’t know about that.”

“Don’t tell me you’re about to reject me; it’s just to catch up, Ellie.” He said, cutting her off before she could finish.

It’s not that Ellie doesn’t want to go out on a date with him. In fact, she was very happy when he asked, but she was scared, and she also felt bad. She was pregnant with another man’s child, and she was also carrying the pregnancy to go on a date with another man she loved so much and wanted to be with.

“Yeah, I’ll go with you then.” She replied, despite the guilt she was feeling.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“OK then, I will pick you up at your house by seven.” He said before leaving her sight.

She was about to enter the elevator when someone pulled her arm back. “What were you saying to him?” It was Lacey, the girl Sam was dating before. She had been watching both of them in the cafeteria. She didn’t know why Sam had broken up with her, but she knew it was only because of this girl in her presence.

“What do you think you’re doing?” Ellie asked back. She removed the girl’s hand from her arm. “Don’t tell me you’re about to fight me here in the company of a man? You should know that it can cost you your job.” Ellie said, raising her eyebrows at her.

“Fight you? I would rather tear you apart. Sam will never be with a girl like you; he will only play with you and dump you.” Lacey said with disgust in her eyes.

“Is it the same way he dumped you?” Ellie asked before pausing for a little while. “You’re a pretty lady; you shouldn’t go around fighting over men.” Ellie said before leaving her sight.

The girl only looked into her eyes with anger; her eyes caught hold of a fading mark on her neck before she left. “Is that what I think it is? That human has a mark. No, that’s not possible; I’m probably hallucinating.” Lacey said to herself before leaving the scene.

After work, Christina went to Ellie’s cubicle. She urged her to go home on time so that she could get ready on time for her dinner. She was so happy when she heard that she was going to dinner. She wished she could also do that with her boss, but she knew it was only a daydream; she hadn’t even seen him after that night.

Ellie also went home and got ready for her dinner. She wore her clothes and put on light makeup. She was still having doubts and feeling guilty about what was going on.

She felt like she had cheated on Sam, even without them dating yet. Because of her nervousness, she kept going to the toilet to ease herself until she heard a knock on her door, around a few minutes to seven. She opened the door and saw him standing there with flowers in his hands.

Hey! Sam said.

Hi. She also replied. All her anxiety suddenly disappeared when she saw how handsome he was and the beautiful smile on her face.

“I must say, you’re looking so beautiful tonight.” He said, still smiling at her.

“Um, thank you.” She said meekly, she was so happy when she heard him compliment her that she felt like her heart was going to jump out.

“Here, flowers.” He said, pointing the flowers at her. She took it and thanked him before he finally said. “Shall we go?”

He walked her to the car and opened the front seat door for her to enter. He closed it after she had sat down. He also entered the driver’s seat and drove off. But neither of them knew that someone was watching their every move.
