The Alpha’s Human Mate

She stepped out of the room to go home. She kept wondering what kind of question the rude interviewer asked as she walked out of the company, which made her not concentrate that she almost bump into someone.

“Sam! What are you doing here?!” She asked, smiling at him. She has been trying to talk to this guy, but he has been ignoring her calls. But there he was, smiling at her as if he hadn’t been avoiding her.

“I think I should be asking you that instead. I work here.” He replied, smiling back at her. “So, what are you doing here?”

“I came here for an interview; I applied here as a marketer.” She replied.

With a surprised expression, he asked, “You are here for an interview? Did you leave your previous job?”

“Yeah, it’s a long story. How about we go somewhere and talk about it?” She suggested, smiling at him. All she wanted was to talk to him.

“Um… I’m sorry, I won’t be able to do that. I’m so busy; how about we talk about this some other time?”

“Hmm. Of course.” She tried to hold his hands, but he removed his hands before she could touch them.

She knew that he was just trying to avoid her; he had even stopped picking up her calls, but she couldn’t stop herself from thinking about him. He left her sight and walked away. She sighed and also left the company.

She took a taxi and went straight home. On getting to her apartment, she realized that her door was open. She was so scared, thinking that someone had broken into the house, but she mustered up her courage and went in. She saw a bag on the chair in the sitting room.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

“Ellie! You’re finally back.” A woman coming from the kitchen said. It was her mother.

She finally sighed in relief when she saw her. “Mum, what are you doing here?”

“What do you mean by that? Of course, I came here to see my daughter, since she has stopped coming to my place.” Mrs. Loren lamented. She took the food she had prepared and placed it on the table in the dining room.

“Mom, you know that’s not how it is. I’ve just been so busy,” Ellie answered.

“So busy that you couldn’t even buy fresh groceries in the house. You’re not a kid anymore, so you try to take care of yourself.”

M”I get it, mom.” She said, before pouring herself a bowl of soup.

Ms. Loren sighed before she continued. “How will you get, or take care of your husband if you’re like this?” Her mom knew that she did not want to get into any relationships; she had asked her so many times what was wrong with her. She has even tried setting her up on different blind dates, but it had failed miserably.

“Mum! Can you just stop now? I’m going to choke on my food.” She said, almost begging.

“Fine, but that doesn’t mean we’re done with this discussion,” Ms. Loren said, while Ellie only rolled her eyes backwards.

After lunch, they both washed the dishes and cleaned the house. Her mom finally left, but not before talking, scolding, and telling her to go on a blind date with a man she had just gotten her.

After her mom left, she took out her phone and saw that she had missed a call from Jasmine. She called her back instantly. “Hey! I missed your call.”

“Yeah, how was your interview?” Jasmine asked over the phone.

“Well. It went well. Guess who I saw today?

“Who?” Jasmine asked.

“Sam. He’s also working at Stewart Corporation.” Ellie said happily.

“Oh really?” Jasmine asked, her voice getting low. She knew that her friend must be so happy to see him, but she was just worried about her. “Just be careful, Ellie.” She said.

“I’ll be fine. There’s nothing to worry about.” Ellie assured. They also talked about some other things before they hung up.

She opened her gallery, looking at the guy’s picture on her phone. “I hope I get this job so we can start working together as soon as possible. I might even get a chance to stop going on blind dates.”

Then suddenly, the image of that night flashed in her mind. She dropped her phone instantly and sighed.

Ever since that day, she couldn’t stop thinking about what happened. She has been trying to do things that could get her mind off it, but she can’t just stop thinking.

In a conference room, they were done with their meeting, and were packing their files. The CEO of Warren also came out of the conference room to go back to his office, but haven’t gotten there when he heard.

“Alex!” The man called out from the back.

“What are you still looking for? I thought you had left.” Alex asked as soon as he saw him.

“Yeah. I came back.” He replied, smiling at him. Are you seriously not going to look for her?

“When did you start caring so much about my life? Don’t you have anything to do or a company to run?” Alex asked, stopping a little to look at him.

“How can you say that to me? I’m just trying to help. You know you can’t do without her, not after you’ve marked her, Alex.” Callum said, but this time with a serious face.

“I’m going to reject her,” Alex said. He had also been thinking about it the whole day. He did not want to do anything forbidden, not when he was the alpha of his pack. “I’m going to abide by the rules, Callum. I can never be with that human. She and I are two worlds apart, and we shouldn’t have met.”

“Are you joking with me, Alex? You, of all people, know what can happen to that girl if you reject her after marking her. She may lose her life.” Callum explained.

“Just stop, okay? Who knows? What if she’s not even my mate? Maybe a witch in disguise, or the mark, could actually disappear. Anything can happen; just stop stressing me and go to your company.” He said, walking towards the elevator alone. “I wonder how a CEO can have so much time gossiping around.” He mocked loud for him to hear.

Callum just stood there and smiled. “You’re going to come back and beg me when you need my help.” He said, raising his voice and getting the attention of the people around him.

He sighed, straightened his suit, and left the company.
