Nights would keep Alexander awake most of the time. He would always have the same nightmare again and again, and it still made him lose all the air from his lungs.

So it was natural and reasonable for him to be a little moody and at edge. Insomnia was not something he was not familiar with, but that doesn't mean that he would get used to it.

Alexander, a thirty years old unmated Alpha, had his priorities sorted. He had the same routine as well. People around him knew what would be his schedule at a particular time. And that is why as soon as he stepped his feet in the cafe, a small omega around his age smiled at him even though he didn't smile back at her.

"Latte?" She asked and moved to work even before Alexander answered. She already knew that the said Alpha had always ordered latte coffee for three years.

He walked into his office with a latte coffee in his hand as his employees greeted him good morning.

"Sir," His secretary called. Alexander nodded in affirmation. "We have a meeting with a client in fifteen minutes. Do i need to give you a general summary before that?" He asked.

"No. I have read the documents already." Alexander said as he sipped on his coffee.

The secretary nodded, and the Alpha went in the cabin.

Alexander is just like that. He had his priorities sorted, and the top three on his list are : work, work, and work.

He loved work. Basically, I lived for work and would die of boredom on weekends. His mother would often scold him for being so immersed in his work.

He never had many friends, believed that any person approaching him was just following him because of his status. He had these beliefs because of his experience.

Alexander had old money, and he was not ashamed of it , he was actually quite proud of it. There was nothing to be ashamed of that his father worked had to build an empire, and now he sees his eldest son capable of running this empire for him.

People may talk that he got all ready-made for him, but Alexander knew that running an already successful business to even high is not an easy job. He had faced it all since he was twenty-one years old.

Nine years into this field and Alexander still found himself in a situation like this one.

"You are quite handsome, Mr White. " His client, Mr Kim, said, and Alexander just nodded, smiling slightly to not seem rude. "I have worked with your father for years." He added with a chuckle as he leaned forward on a table. " Why not we take this business relationship to another level?" Mr Kim said with a raised brow and hopeful eyes .

Alexander furrowed his brows, utterly confused . Was Mr. Kim is asking for a partnership?

"What do you mean, Mr. Kim?" Alexander asked, and he heard his secretary fake cough , trying to give him a hint.

"I have three daughters, all omegas." Mr. Kim supplied, teeth on display as he said.

Alexander wanted to roll his eyes. He can't even remember how many times he had gotten this kind of proposals. It's ridiculous each time.

"And?" He still asked just in case he was getting the wrong idea.

"I would be very happy if you chose one of my daughters as your mate. They are all very pretty." Mr. Kim said, smiling all the time, and Alexander’s secretary frowned at that.

Alexander kept a neutral look even though he was kind of perplexed by the statement of Mr. Kim because as far as Alexander knew the eldest daughter of Mr. Kim was nineteen years old . So that means that the rest of the daughters would still me minors. He smiled at the older, nonetheless.

"As far as i know, i have never told you that i need a mate. " Alexander said as he stood up from his seat. "I urge you not to worry about my mating. I am not interested in mating any of your daughters. I hope you understand. " The look on Mr. Kim face was comical. He was as red as tomato. "You are really a good partner for business. I hope that this conversation won't come

in between our deal."

Alexander said as he began to walk towards the door.

"Not at all, Alexander, but i hope that once you think that it is appropriate time to mate, just remember that my offer is still open." Mr. Kim said, and Alexander nodded even though he knew that he would never choose a girl from his daughters.

"Make sure that we don't have to make any deals with Mr. Kim in future." Alexander said, his pine scent prominent in the air as his secretary ,Pete just nodded.

This was not the first time that something like this had happened.

Being an unmated eldest, Alpha, son of respected businessmen, would often get people delusional that Alexander is open for marriage.

Alexander despises marriage.

He hates having company of someone else. He was just twenty when he moved out of his parents' house and bought himself a small apartment. He worked hard to earn money so that he could afford a luxurious house, and he did.

Having a mate sounds suffocating. He can't imagine spending his lifetime with someone else.
