Bananas?

I followed the blondie with green eyes. I didn't expect her to reject me the moment she sees me. She has the audacity to look me in the eye and cock block me although I admit that Her scent was the sweetest thing to have gone through my nostrils in decades.

I reached her. She looked like she was hiding.

My heart was beating at its peak and it was pissing me off how confusing this situation was for me.

I stood behind her and whispered.

“Why are you running away?" I asked and she jumped slightly in shock. Did she really think she was hiding?

She turned in the chair with a fake smile. “I’m sorry sir but I’m already done for the night, maybe next week.”

Was she playing me for a fool or just trying to see how much I’ll hold back before I break? I grunted in annoyance. I can’t keep playing these games with her when we both know what happens after mates meet.

“You’re coming with me tonight.”

She must’ve gotten mad that her little act didn’t work because she then got a look of fear that morphed into anger.  “Leave me alone.”

I got closer to her to make sure she hears me loud and clear.

“No.”

I was getting more irritated by her defiance but at the same time I was curious about how much she’d resist before giving in because I could smell her need for me, a growing tinge of lust in the air. I could hear her heart beating rapidly.

“Leave me or else I’ll call security.”  She said as she looked me straight in the eye as she was strongly fighting her desire. She was strongly trying to dissociate herself from our connection.

Three security guards appeared from the crowd shortly after me, asking me to leave immediately for causing chaos earlier. Shouldn’t they be locking up that bastard for rape and sexual assault? When they saw my face they didn’t lay a hand on me or else they’d know the outcome the hard way.

I escorted myself out and stood at the front of the club in the shadows where I couldn’t be seen. I wasn’t leaving just yet.

In a few minutes, her scent once again filled the air. She smelt like fresh spring flowers in a blueberry field with a hint of bananas. It was somewhat innocent and unique.

I don’t want to ask why she has such a job because I know extremely well that life can throw shit at you when you least expect it. I saw her walk in a jumpsuit, a hoodie covering her hair, and a backpack secured on her back.

I didn’t get to see her face thought, I wonder what she actually looks like, it can’t be too far from what I saw, right?

A few steps away from the club, she started to jog. The further she went, the fainter her scent. I let out a sigh as I gazed at her form merging into the distance and soon being swallowed by the sparse crowd.

How dare she reject me, Alpha Xavier fuckin Kingston.  She has no idea what I can do, does she?

I laughed patronizingly as I reached for my pocket to check the time.

I adjusted the mask on my face and paced back into the club and through the employee-only door. I proceeded to the large wooden door tagged. “Ms. Veronica’s office.”

I went through and saw a familiar black-haired lady with a cigarette between her fingers.

Red lipstick resting on her lips, cat eyes looking directly at me, and a paper resting between her fingers.

When her gaze met mine, her lips curved into a grin. She then pressed the tip of her cigarette into the ashtray and lay the paper in her other hand to rest on.

“Yes, Mr. Kingston, it’s been a while,” she got up from her seat and straightened her short pencil skirt before heading to a cabinet and getting out a wine bottle.

“Any new ones?” I inquired.

She searched in a drawer at her desk and got two wine glasses.

“First have a seat so we can have a proper talk.”

Her red manicured fingers pointed toward the chair in front of her desk.

She always did this but she never learned that I wasn’t here for her anymore.

I sat nonetheless and accepted the wine she offered me.

“There aren’t new ones this month, we got a lot of employees you know and I could just link you up with some other girls I know.” She swayed her glass around before taking another sip.

“I might not get any though.”

She intentionally unbuttoned the first two buttons of her white dress shirt and smirked.

“You know, two years isn’t such a long time ago.”

I know what she was trying to narrow it down to so I looked at her blankly.

“Link me up, just show me what you have right now,” I said seriously she looked slightly irritated but got a tablet on her desk nonetheless.

“Today, we have Sharley, Christine, Joanne, and Aquila who aren’t booked.” She read through and sent me the tab to look through. I looked at four of them and felt disinterested.

“A chick named Sunny, I saw her today. How come I’ve never seen her?”

“Well, she’s a dancer mainly but you can still book I guess, she has high standards for a whore though.”

She took a sip from her wine glass and inhaled the cigarette then let out a puff.

I hate it when she’s like this. She doesn’t know she’s a whore as well, she should stop dissociating herself from her kind.

“Tomorrow, 9 pm, I’ll be here.”

I stood up swiftly and left after that. I didn’t want to hear any more from her.

I don't think I'll be able to sleep today because I can feel my wolf's excitement. I don't blame him, we have been searching for our mate for a long time. A little over a decade now.

I must come back tomorrow since it is late and she's probably already too flustered.

I guess the saying is right ‘A crappy beginning makes a good ending.’ For all the crap I faced during the day, I landed a mate at the end of it all. Usually, werewolves find their mates on their eighteenth birthday but I didn't and I’m guessing it’s because she’s a rogue so there’s no way I’d find her near a packed house.

Despite having a high-ranking pack, I am undermined by other alphas because I don't have a mate.

I finally found a mate but my mate happens to be able to resist my charisma. She's different and excites me in a strange way.

I don’t know about her making an excellent queen but I know she’s hot as fuck and as long as I convince her to join the pack and help me climb ranks, I wouldn’t care less about anything else.

Being an alpha is already difficult. Now I have to find a way of convincing her to be my mate. This is going to become a daily side hassle for me considering she’s stubborn as fuck.

For now, I’ll keep it a secret from my pack because they will intervene as they did with Ray and Julian.

I might have to talk to Walter, the Beta about this issue exclusively because I might have found a very interesting chess piece.
