ELLA
I was all tipsy. I've had enough to drink tonight. I stared at the room and then my eyes met that of Zion's. For a moment I was glued to the floor not until I felt two arms around my waist which made me break eye contact.I turn to look at the intruder only to see Alex smirking at him. I pushed him away from a little but he was adamant not to let go." Calm down princess" he whispered to my ears.I rolled my eyes at him " oh please don't call me that "He chuckled " You are a princess, don't you know that?"" Hey, don't even try flirting with me" I glared at him." Are you always this feisty," he asked and finally let me go." Only to some set of people" '.." But I'm not a player, "he said to himself and he also didn't find what he said convincingly." just be far away from me "." Calm down princess"." Stop calling me that!" I huff and he chuckled" It's really easy to rile you up. That's why I want to be friends with you though"I furrowed my brow" So you can always rile me up?"He scoffed " of course not. It's not because of that "" Then tell me why?" I folded my arms" Because I like you, I like you as a friend that's all" he defended." and why would you think that I want to be friends with you?" I squint my eyes at him.." just because" he shrugged.I smiled secretly. Alex is so easy to tease but his playboy act always hides it." Why don't you want to be friends with me? I'm nothing like Stella you know" he said.I giggled " excuse you? What do you mean by that?"" I'm not always grumpy and scary. That girl is scary if you ask me " he shuddered at the thought.I raised a brow " Why is it that you two don't get along? "" Ask your friend, I didn't do anything to her so I don't know what I did.""Are you sure about that?"He gave me a look " you don't believe me?"I shrugged " I don't know why I find it hard to believe especially for someone like you"He looks annoyed " stop saying someone like me for crying out loud. Why are you quick to judge"" I don't know"He exhaled " fine then, I'll take my leave since you don't trust me"I stared at his retreating back. I knew I went too far, I should have given him a chance before judging him. I took a sip of my drink and let out a sigh.Stella walks towards me. She raised a brow " what is with Alex? "..." It's nothing," I said not in the mood to explain what happened." Are you sure?"" yeah " I forced a smile " By the way who is that guy you were talking to?" I asked wiggling my brows.She blushed " he's a friend"" That doesn't look like just a friend. Are you hiding something from me, Stella?"She huffs " No I'm not. That's Marcus"" Marcus?" I asked, " Is he someone I know?"She rolled her eyes " ok fine. He is Fred's friend and has this little crush on me "I smiled widely " So? What was your response to him? Please tell me you said yes "" of course not. I don't like him that much, he's not the one for me "" why would you say so? He is good looking and seems calm"" look Ella, it's not just by all that. There is more to it you don't know " she said confusing me the more.I didn't want to push too hard so I said " I just hope one day you'll find someone who'll love you for you"...She pouted " I hope so too"I hit her arm lightly just to lift her spirit " Hey"Suddenly she smirks. She was beginning to scare me." What?"" What is with you and Zion? Earlier I saw how you two were close, especially while you were at that dance floor" she wiggled her brows " is there something you want to tell me?" She threw my words at me.I rolled my eyes " it's nothing "." don't try that with me girl, I need to know the whole story," she said smirking.I wish I could wipe that smirk off her face. I blushed slightly.She held my hands " please"I leg out a sigh " we only danced and that was all"" But..but what I saw was deep," she said" oh please stop it, Stella. It's nothing really"She was reluctant to believe but decided to let it die. She stared at her wristwatch and a frown form on her face." What is it?" I asked." It's midnight already. I don't think we can go home " she said." why?"" I can't drive. I'm a little tipsy, will you drive?"Of course not " I'm tipsy too. What should we do then?"" Fred paid for some spare room in case of a situation like this. Are you ok spending the night here?"I shrugged " I don't mind"She smiled " it's settled then"" what room is ours?"" You can just pick any room," she said with a shrug" okay"...Stella excused herself " I'll be back in a bit," she said and took off just like that.I scoffed staring at her retreating back. Just when I was about to look away, Zion was already staring at me. He was dancing with a petite lady. She was saying something to him but his attention was on me.I won't deny it, I kind of felt a twitch in my chest. Why does he have to dance with someone as beautiful as her? Calm down Ella, he is taken remember? She might even be the girlfriend.With a heavy heart, I broke eye contact and made my way upstairs. I should call it a night. I texted Stella informing her about it. I hope she sees it because I'm putting my phone on silent. Wouldn't want any distractions."ZionI was able to escape from Annie. She's been all over me since she saw me. It's so annoying. She's always like that around me and I made it clear to her that I don't want her. Moreover, she has a mate somewhere so why try to glue herself to me.They all want fame and I seem like their perfect target since I'm a high ranker. She won't be the first and also won't be the last. I fixed up my shirt and then made my way upstairs. Exactly where Ella went through.I began my search for her. I could see the sore look in her eyes the moment she saw Annie beside me. That just shows that she feels some kind of pull towards me and I'm glad. It's always hard to know how humans feel especially when they are our mates.I keep wondering why was I given a second chance to have a mate? Why does it have to be a human but I don't mind really? She's beautiful and does seem mysterious. There is something about her that is so skeptical.I opened the first door to my left but saw no one there, I did the s
ELLAI moaned softly enjoying my sleeping posture. I felt a hand wrapped around my waist making my eyes snap open. I was in an unfamiliar room, where was I?.I tried all my best to pry the hand off me. The event of what transpired last night came rushing back to me. I had a one-night stand for the first time in my life. I could still feel the pain in between my legs.A blush crept up my face. Last night was heavens, I've never done this with any man before. Zion was so gentle with me. I had thought he'll be rough but he proved me wrong. Gosh, what is this man doing to me ?.I was still naked from under the duvet. I sat upright gently not wishing to wake him up, Zion groan a little when he felt my absence but he didn't wake up. He looks peaceful when he sleeps. I stared at his beautiful face sadly. This will be the last time we'll meet. I need to run off before he wakes up.I got down from the bed and went to clean myself up in the bathroom. I was so fast about it just so he won't wake
Zion" Take this away!" I yelled at the maid. She took the coffee and ran off. I knew that wasn't called for but who cares? I'm the alpha and they must obey me.I tried to control my anger but found it hard to do. I was so mad, really mad and angry at her. She left without saying goodbye or something. Does what happened last night mean nothing to her? Was I just one of her puppets?The nerves she has to just flew like that. Alex knew something was off but didn't say anything. He's been staring at me for a while now.I glared at him when I caught him staring again " What?! What are you looking at ?"He raised his hands in surrender " nothing "" Fuck off man"" Look Zion I don't know what happened to you but please you need to tone down the anger in you," he said.I glared hard at him " you don't get to tell me what to do! You have no right to tell me what to do! "He scoffed " I won't sit here and hear you yell at me all day. I should leave maybe when you get yourself together you'll
Stella was persistent, she wants to know where I was last night. She has her hand on her waist ready to hear me speak and I didn't give any indication that I'd speakShe pouted " really? You won't say anything ?"I rolled my eyes " I was upstairs where else ?"She shook her head at me " but why didn't I see you. When I got upstairs, all the rooms were occupied with people having sex except you are among them "She got me right there " I don't know what you're talking about "" Don't play games with me, Ella. I know you didn't go home last night so where the hell did you spend the night? I tried calling your line but it was switched off"I shrugged " that's because I didn't want any disturbance. I was already asleep"" I don't know why I find it hard to believe" she gave me a look " you were with someone, my instinct tells me you were with someone last night," Said and came right beside me.Stella sniffed the air like a dog " you smell different "" Are you now a dog?"She glared at me
I don't have the zeal to go to work today, I feel really lazy and I feel as if I'm wasting my time working in that company. The pay isn't as good as you think. I pouted then got up from the bed.I stretched a little and dragged myself to the restroom. Immediately I got in my eyes went to the mirror on the wall. I've noticed that my face glow this past few days and it makes me wonder why and how? I haven't been using any cream on my skin so why was I experiencing this? I'm not complaining but one needs to be alarmed when you find something suspicious about yourself.I sprinkled water on my face then picked up the toothbrush and brush my teeth. I've got enough time to prepare for work. When I was done I decided to take my bath. I enjoyed every bit of that shower.I was out a few minutes later with a towel wrapped around me. I picked out a pair of trousers and a shirt. I put them on and apply a little powder to my face. I'm not a make-up type of person but I still appreciate applying a l
Surprisingly, Alex what quiet and he allowed me to do my work in peace. I glanced at him from where I was, he was on his phone texting Someone. He looks really serious and I'm very sure whoever he was texting is important.I shrugged not to dwell too much over it. Just when I taught I can have my peace a call from Stella came through. I groaned" Some boyfriend?" Alex asked from where he sat and I rolled my eyes at him." it's none of your business"He shrugged " okay".." Hey girly" I chirped in when I picked up.Stella screamed into the phone. I had to move it away from my ears because of how loud she was." Stella! What the heck"At the mention of her name, Alex raised his head. He looks interested in the conversation." I'm sorry. Just guess what?!" she screamed again.Why was she so happy? I wondered" What is it?"" it's Marcus"I furrowed my brows confused " what is it about him ?"" well, I might have thought over it and then decided to give him a chance," she said.I squeale
I'm done with this loneliness, it's time I see her and I mean now. I need to go to her place and no one can stop me. I headed up to my room to change my work clothes. I took a shower first before anything.I put on something casual and headed for the door. My beta knows what to do when I'm not around so I need not bother myself.I've long dismissed my driver who must be with his family by now. I don't need to inform anyone about my whereabouts. I'm the Alpha.I drove myself to her apartment. Don't be surprised I know where Ella lives, she didn't know I'd been stalking her whereabout. I swiveled into her street. It was dark already and most likely she must be sleeping but who cares.I parked my car far from her house and got out to make my way to her apartment. I may be alpha but right now, knocking isn't my thing so I did what was possible at the moment. I entered through her window. It was wide open as if she knew I was coming, joking.She needs to stop opening her window, she does t
I will kill Stella for making me dress like this. If I had known that this will be some kind of a gathering I wouldn't have put on trousers and a top. Gosh, I look like a homegirl.Stella covered her smirk " I'm sorry please"" Then why did you allow me to dress like this?" I questioned." I said you should put on something you'll be comfortable in" she shrugged" But you should have given a hint that you all are going to be in dresses. Look around you Stella, I'm the only one in jeans for crying out loud!"She giggled " it doesn't matter, you always look beautiful so don't you worry"" I hate you right now "She blew an air kiss my way " but I love you"I glared hard at her " so tell me before I outburst more on you, whose party is this?"She clasped her hand as if remembering that she should have done that earlier. Stella then looks at me with guilty eyes.I cock a brow at her " What is it?"She rubbed her neck " I should have told you before bringing you here but I knew you won't c
