The next morning, the sun's rays were reflected into the room. A man and a woman, naked under the sheets, could be seen sleeping.
After some time, the sun's rays reflected on her face, and she opened her eyes at once, still lying on the bed.She tried to stand up slowly but failed when she felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She touched her head and said, "Ha, my head hurts so bad; I must have gotten drunk last night. Wait a second! Where am I?!"She looked beside her and saw a man with black hair and a straight, long nose sleeping peacefully on the bed. She gulped a hard spit; she couldn't remember a thing. "How did I get here? Oh my goodness, Ellie, what have you done?" She asked herself, slapping her forehead lightly.She got up slowly from bed, took her clothes, and wore them in a hurry. She could feel soreness and pain underneath, but she managed to stand and tiptoe till she got to the door.She didn't know the man, and she knew the man seeing her right then wouldn't be the best idea when she didn't even remember how she got there.She felt like crying, but that was clearly not the right place to start crying. She dragged herself out of the room and ran out of the hotel. She stopped a taxi at once and entered hurriedly to leave the place on time.When she finally got home, she opened the door to her apartment and locked it immediately.She sat down on the floor, tears running out of her eyes. She tried to move her body but felt pain in her private place, as well as a slight pain in her neck.The memories of last night started playing in her head—how she got drunk, how the man had carried her, and how they finally had sex. "I can't believe you, Ellie. You got drunk and gave your first night away, and only to a complete stranger." She wept out her eyes till she slept off.*******In the hotel, he finally woke up and moved a little. His hand touched where the girl was, but he noticed it was empty. He stood up immediately and saw that the girl had gone; her clothes were no longer there, and he also saw the stain of blood on the bed.He ran his hands into his messy hair and said, "Why can't you just control yourself? And how the hell did you sleep without knowing when she was running away?" He said to himself, in irritation, that he stood up and went to the phone to call the receptionist.Hello sir!"The lady I came here with last night, when did she leave?" He asked the person over the phone."She left like an hour ago, sir." The person said:.He didn't wait any longer for the person to continue; he hung up. "How could you let our mate escape?" His wolf asked."So, you think it was my fault? I was drugged yesterday, okay?" Alex replied."And as for you, I'll make sure I find you." He said this, looking at the stain of blood on the bed.He took his bath and left the hotel for his workplace. He was about to enter his car when he heard his phone ringing. It was Callum calling, but he did not pick up. Instead, he put his phone on silent mode and drove out.She used the whole day to sleep and looked at the ceiling of her room. She only stood up when she heard a knock on her door. She opened it and saw that it was her friend."Oh girl, we looked for you in the club last night, but we couldn't find you.""Did you hook up with a big shot? Huh?" Jasmine asked as soon as she entered the house. She looked for Ellie around the bar yesterday, but when she couldn't find her, she also had to leave Quinn alone and get hooked up with a guy.Noticing her friend's pale face, she asked, "Are you okay? Did something happen?"Ellie looked up at her friend and sighed. "I had a night stand with a stranger yesterday, Jasmine." She said it almost in tears."Oh my goodness, Ellie, you finally had sex. That's good news. Is that why you're crying?" Jasmine said, smiling at her. She knew that those kinds of things meant a lot to her, since she was keeping them for someone."Good news? How's that good news? What about Sam? What if he finds out?" She said this, bursting into tears. She has been in love with Sam since high school. Even though she has expressed her feelings a lot of times and gotten rejected, that hasn't stopped her from loving him and hoping one day he will fall in love with her."What's wrong with you, Ellie?! Can't you just forget about Sam? This guy doesn't love you. He even tells you every time that he's just like your brother. Just wake up and see the fact that you can't be with him!" Jasmine said, almost screaming into her face."I'm sorry, Jasmine; I just love him so much." She cried, but Jasmine did not say anything; she just hugged her and patted her back lightly. "I'm also sorry for raising my voice at you; please stop crying." She said she was cleaning her friend's face.After some time, she finally stopped crying.Ellie did not want to remember anything about her nightstand, so they spent the whole day talking and watching movies before Jasmine finally bid her goodbye and went home.Ellie also went back to her room to pick up her laptop. "I should start applying for another job if I'm willing to survive." She said to herself,.He got to the office, and he saw Callum, who had been waiting for him in the office."Dude, I've been calling you since last night. Where the hell did you put your phone?" Callum said as soon as he saw him enter the room. "And also, who was the girl you took with you? Have you finally found your mate?""Which question do you want me to answer first?" Alex asked, moving towards his chair. He sat down and opened a file on his table."Why don't you start by telling me who you took with you last night? Who was the girl? Huh?" He asked, moving towards the table and separating their chairs. But instead of answering him immediately, Alex said it with a sigh. "My mate is human."Huh?! How's that possible? You finally found your mate, and you realize she's human? Callum asked with a surprised expression."Shocking, right! Alex said, flipping the file before him without even looking at the man sitting in front of him."Is she pretty?" Callum asked, but when he saw his glare, he smiled and asked
She stepped out of the room to go home. She was about to leave the company when she bumped 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." The guy 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 said, suggesting they leave so she could have time 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 said, trying to hold his hands, but he removed his hands before she could touch them.She knew that he was jus
"Here it is." She pointed her phone toward her. Did I get the job? She asked, feeling a bit nervous."Calm down; you just gave me your phone." Jasmine said, putting her hands on her chest to calm her down before checking her mail. After some minutes, Jasmine finally looked up at her and sighed. "Well.""What?! Did I not get the job?" Ellie asked, but seeing that her friend wasn't saying anything, She sighed and whispered sadly. "I can't believe I didn't get in." Then suddenly, Jasmine burst into laughter. "Oh my goodness, look at your face. Of course, you got the job.""What? I did?" She asked to be sure she heard it right. "Oh my goodness, I'm so happy.""You deserve it, girl."At exactly six a.m, Ellie woke up to the sound of the alarm. Sitting on her bed and rubbing her eyes, she looked around her messy apartment. She and Jasmine got it dirty by eating the pizza they ordered yesterday, and she couldn't clean up because it was already late. She sighed, stood up, and went to the showe
The next day, Ellie went to work early. When she got to her cubicle, she saw Christina, who was already in the office, smiled at her with a broad smile. Hey! How are you? Christina asked."I'm good, so what's going on?" Ellie asked, noticing that she was smiling more than usual."I thought you would never notice. I heard that the CEO wants to see all the new workers today." Christina said in a gossiping manner."I also heard that he's so handsome, but not so handsome like his friend, the CEO of Warren Corporation." She continued, placing her hands on her cheeks and smiling in a dreamy way."Hmm, OK." Ellie replied absentmindedly, she was lost in thought.Christina noticed that Ellie was not paying attention to her, she shook her shoulders. "Ellie, are you even listening to me..? What are you thinking about?"Ellie broke out of her thoughts and said. It's nothing. "What were you saying?" She asked sheepishly.Christina shook her head sympathetically and said, "I wonder why you've been s
"Wait, what! Your mate works for my company?! How come?" He asked, surprised. "I don't think I've seen her before. Maybe she's a newbie.""You think I care if she's working here or not?" Alex asked, getting annoyed every minute he looked at him. "I don't care where she works or what she does; what I care about is what that girl is.""I'm sorry. You're right, we should find out what that girl is." Callum said, getting scared that he might do something to him if he angered him more. "But the girl I saw is human; there's no way she could be a witch in disguise.""Oh really? So what else would be the perfect explanation for this? Hmm?" Alex asked. "I told you that girl is a witch; she must have used one of her spells to attract my wolf, and I'll make sure she pays for trying to mess with me.""Calm down, Alex; you don't have to take your anger out on me," Callum said with his pouted lips.But when he saw the glare Alex was giving him, he quickly apologized and said, "Wait, what if we ask M
"So, I guess that's solved." Callum said, trying to ease the tension in the air."You guess?" Alex scoffed. "How do we give her the potion? Huh? You do realize we have to either put it in her food or pour it on her. So don't tell me it's solved." He said it in anger. He has always been like that whenever he's angry, always making people take the blame because he will never take blame for anything."Just calm down, Alex; I have a plan." Callum said, before moving closer to him to sit beside him."What is it?" He asked, looking at him like he was saying gibberish."Well, I will set up a party at the club for the new employees. We just have to put it in her drink at the club." He answered with a smile."So she can turn into a witch in front of everyone?" Alex asked, raising his eyebrows."Well, we can lure her outside, you know." Callum replied."Are you suggesting I kidnap her?" He asked again.Do you want to be married to her then? Because I really don't understand you. Callum said. "Yo
He entered the room; he did not have to look around to find her because his wolf was already saying. "Mate." He tried to control his wolf before it got out of hand. He went to take a seat and kept looking towards her side.They were all surprised to see the CEO of Warren Corporation, and the ladies in the room did all they could to flash him their best smiles. But his eyes were only on her, watching her every move like he was about to pounce on her any minute.Hey everyone! I'm really happy to be among you all this night to welcome you to Stewart Corporation. Callum said, smiling at them. "What we're doing today is just getting to know each other and having fun before we get into something stressful and boring." He continued.She sat there feeling so nervous, she couldn't even control the sweat running down her face or the one building up in her palms. She did not understand why she was so scared of a man she hadn't even talked to before. Could it be because of what people say about hi
"Where are you? Is the job done?" Callum asked over the phone."No job is done; that human is my mate." Alex replied that he still couldn't fathom what was going on. "How can fate keep playing with him this way? Why would the moon goddess destined him with a human mate despite being forbidden?" He thought and sighed."What? How is that possible?" Callum asked, wondering what was going on. "So if she's not a witch, are you saying you're mated to a human?" He was also worried because he knew the kind of trouble the both of them might go through."I don't know, so don't ask me any questions. I'm hanging up now; I'm not in the mood for your questions." Alex said it with grumpiness over the phone."Huh? What about the party going on? What do I tell these people?" Callum asked, whispering over the phone."Are you a fool? Tell them, The party is over; aren't you the CEO?" Alex said before hanging up and tossing his phone.On the other side of the phone, Callum told everyone he had something
