The Alpha’s Human Mate

Work had finished, but she still stayed and finished up some files before she remembered the date she was having that night. She had promised to go out on a date with the guy she met at the Great Luna’s ceremony. “Oh my goodness, Christina. How can it skip your mind?” She knew she had to get going because it was almost time, but how could she wear office wear to a dinner date? “If I don’t go like this, it will be like I’m ghosting him or something.”

She remembered how Callum had told her not to have anything to do with the man. “Who does he even think he is?” She asked herself before pushing him out of her mind. She quickly shut down her computer and carried her bag before walking out of the office. There were still some people packing up to go home from the office. “Good night.” She greeted them as she walked out.

On getting to the entrance of the building, she saw the person she had hoped not to see, even though it wasn’t possible. Without looking at his side, she quickly walked towards the street and called for a taxi.

Callum, on the other hand, was about to enter his car to drive away when he saw her. He knew she saw him and quickly looked away, but that was not what got him thinking. “Where is she going?” He thought, still looking at the taxi that was already going. He knew that the way the taxi passed was not the way to her house.

He entered his car and drove towards the route to his house, but while in the car, he couldn’t stop thinking about her. “Maybe she went to see someone. What if it was that werewolf?” He thought, remembering that her face looked like she had reapplied makeup. He didn’t even want to think about what they would be doing; he quickly turned his car around and drove at full speed while trying to trace her scent.

At a restaurant.

“Thank you, Mr. Martin.” She said, smiling lightly as the man pulled out a chair for her.

“I thought we were over this. Just call me Martin.” The guy said, and Christina also nodded. Not long after they’d sat down, a waiter walked towards them. “Good evening. I’ll be serving you for the night. What would you like to order?”

They both ordered what they wanted, and the waiter left after he had gotten their order. “So you haven’t been to the Supreme after your friend became Luna.” He heard from her the first time they met in the Supreme that the new great Luna was her friend.

“Yeah.” Christina replied with a smile, but she heard the man ask again. “Why?”

“Just busy. And also, it feels so weird for someone like me to always keep going there,” she replied. She also wished to visit Ellie, but she felt that she might feel left behind, especially when her friend was also half-wolf.

“Because you’re human? I hope you’re comfortable with me, though.” He asked, looking into her eyes with a smile. “Of course.”

“What about Beta Callum? How did you know him? You two seemed pretty close.” He finally asked what she was hoping for him not to ask her. She looked at him before gulping her spit. “Um, we’re not close. I just knew him through my friend. Please don’t get angry about how he acted the last time.”

Martin was about to talk when the waiter brought their food. “Thank you.” They both said to the waiter before taking the cutlery to start eating, but before she could put anything in her mouth, she heard. “What are you doing here?”

She already knew the voice, but she didn’t want to believe he was the one. She looked up slowly, only to see him. She quickly stood up. “What? Why are you here?”

“Didn’t I tell you to stay away from him?” He asked, but Christina just scoffed. “And didn’t I tell you to stop interfering in my matters?!” Christina raised her voice, but quickly calmed herself down when she saw that people were already looking towards their sides.

Martin also stood up and said, “I don’t think you should be doing this, Beta. She’s clearly not interested.” Callum looked at him; he was so angry that he couldn’t help but punch his face hard. “Callum! What the hell do you think you’re doing?” Christina screamed, looking at the man who was still hitting Martin, whose face was already filled with blood.

She quickly pushed him away and looked around, only to see some people already calling the police. Without knowing what had happened, she quickly pulled him out of the restaurant. “Just take me home.” She said, to which Callum also entered the car without saying anything. She could have just waited for the police to come and arrest him, but she didn’t want that..

Martin, on the other hand, just groaned in anger. He was hoping to use her and dump her, but the beta destroyed his plans.

None of them said anything to each other until he got to the front of his house. She sat in his car, staring forward, not knowing what to say to stop him from interfering in her life again, but she finally heard him talk. “I told you to stay away from him. So why don’t you ever listen to simple instructions?”

“Listen to me carefully. I’ve told you times without number that you should stop interfering in my life. Me going on a date with a man is none of your business.” Christina said, raising her voice before getting out of the car.

Callum also came out of the car and walked towards her. “You want to go out on a date with guys. Then go out with me. Forget about him and go out on a date with me instead.” He didn’t know why he was also acting like that, because he didn’t want to accept the fact that he liked her. He just hated the thought of seeing her with other guys. He kept trying to mind his business and forget about her, but he couldn’t.

Christina stared at him in shock. She didn’t know if she heard him right. She blinked her eyes several times before asking, “What? What did you say?”

Callum also gulped down his spit before answering. “Go out with me.” But he was taken aback when he heard. “Why?”

Because I… He couldn’t bring himself to say it, but seeing the way she was staring at him, “I… like you.”

She did not know what to say. She kept looking at him. He was making her heart race, and she felt like she would soon lose her breath. “No. I’m not interested.”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Callum also looked at her in shock. No girl had ever rejected him before, so it was surprising to get his first rejection from a human girl. “Why? You don’t feel the same way.” He chuckled, trying to ease the awkwardness in the air.

She was happy that he asked her out, but she didn’t want to degrade herself by saying she also liked him because of everything he had done. “Yes. I don’t feel the same way.” Christina answered, not caring that she might not get a chance with him again. Her self-respect is her first priority.

Callum looked at her before sighing. “OK then. It’s fine. We can take things step by step.” He wasn’t sure if he was doing the right thing, but he got more interested in why she, of all people, would reject him. “I’ll pick you up tomorrow.” He said before going back to his car, but Christina quickly screamed. “No! Don’t pick me up.” She said, but the man just drove off.

She watched until the car vanished into thin air. She touched her cheeks and said happily before going into the house. “He likes me.”
