Alexander's POV.
“Oh please, grandmother. I am perfectly alright with my life now. I don't need the meddling and there is no way she is out there, it's been years” It's becoming more annoying now that my only family, my grandmother would not stop talking to me about finding my fucking mate. “It's your twenty-ninth birthday and another year without your mate. How can you strengthen your alpha blood if you don't have a mate bond? I know you are unbothered, but I would like to carry your pup” She said, placing her glasses on the rim of her nose. “I have a girl for that. When I am ready, you will carry your grand kids” I said and got up, I was not ready for her tantrums. “I have some meetings to get to,” I made my way toward the door. “Rick will stay with you today, I know you feel safe around him” She looked away, not before throwing me a nasty glare. "There you go again Mrs Calum" “But that gesture of yours does not mean I won't keep talking about your mate until you have found her and brought her into this house” Tiredly, I ran my fingers through my hair in frustration and sat back on the couch for a minute to hold her hands. “Mrs. Callum, you don't have to worry about my mate. Like I said it's been years and there is no way she exists and I have not found her” I caressed her hands as I spoke. “You are the only alpha in the history of powerful werewolves without a mate. You have to find your mate. you can't be a powerful Alpha without your mate. Beg the moon goddess if you have to” My tricks were obviously not working on her anymore. She was pissed. ''Grandma, have you ever thought that there is a possibility I don't have a mate?'' The thought of that made me optimistic. At least I could be with anyone I deem fit and suitable enough to have my kids with alpha blood flowing through them. “That's not possible. The moon goddess gives every wolf a mate, and I'm sure you have one. You just don't want to find her.'' Finding her was not the issue, she does not exist. I have met with a lot of influential, smart ladies across the globe, and not once have I met her. There was no possible explaination for that, except the fact that she doesn't exist. ''Are you even listening?'' My grandma cut deep through my thoughts. Grunting softly, I stood on my feet one last time and put on my suit jacket. “Well, I have to go” I mind-linked Rick to let him know he would be staying with my grandma and to let him know that I'd be staying at the club for a while. My driver spotted me walking towards the car and quickly opened the door for me to get in. I gave him a subtle nod. I might be a soft person when it comes to my grandma, but to others, I was seen as a cold-blooded alpha. The drive to the club was smooth and fast. He pulled over at my own parking space ensuring the media wasn't here. Being a young billionaire with chains of businesses to run has its disadvantages and invasion of privacy is one of them. Just as I stepped my foot into the VIP section, a thick scent of delicious vanilla and mint hit my nose. I could feel heart leaped and for a moment, I forgot to breathe. “Mate” My wolf jumped happily causing excitement to surge through me. I didn't want to move, it was finally happening. My eyes moved around as I searched for her amid the club dancers, forgetting about my privacy. My gaze snapped to a figure standing with tray in her eyes and when my eyes met her eyes, she was already looking at me, as if she knew me. She was the most beautiful and delicate woman I have ever seen. My heart felt awake after so long and I could only exhale and inhale, trying to maintain a level of calm. She was only wearing shorts, revealing her long legs, and a fitted shirt underneath her apron, but I could see her figure, there was no hiding to that. I involuntarily moved towards her, my wolf chanting “Mate” repeatedly, itching to come out. We both yearned for hef but when I got close to her, she was everything I didn't imagine. She was a fucking human! Why did the moon goodess have to punish me this way? After years of waiting, only to end up with a feeble human as a mate? “Have we met before?” She asked, her voice full of curiosity. “No, a weakling like you Is not fit enough to be in my presence” I responded. “Excuse me? You don't have to be so rude” “What's rude is you being in my face right now,” I gave her a once over, a look of disgust surely marred across my face. “You are the rude one. Has anyone never taught you how to treat a woman?” She spat with anger and moved away from me. "What a junkhead" the girl I hadn't noticed standing beside her muttered, walking away on my mate's trail. They were probably new, there was no way I wouldn't have remembered a face like hers. I huffed a breath, the huge to break something rearing it's head in my guts. Frustrated and annoyed to shit, I moved back to my cubicle and played the encounter again in my head, trying to find an explanation for this. Did I miss something? Wasn't that her scent i I just could not believe how this could happen. Over my dead body would I accept a mate like her. I have to find her quickly and reject her. I emptied three shots of johnny walker into my throat and made my way to find her. Rejecting her is the only thing right now and It should not pass this night. Even though I have been waiting for my mate for years, this is just not It. I cannot accept this.Stella’s POVNever have I felt so unwanted in my life by an imaginary lover, the disgust on his face was too much for me to handle. As much as I hoped that he was the same person as my dreams, it was better to leave with the questions on the tip of my mouth than be humiliated further. Celine was not sure if she should let me be by myself, but it will only make me as weak as the stranger had said.After promising to discuss it after work, she left to serve in her assigned VIP booth and I went to mine. I moved over to the bar to pick up the order I had placed earlier and proceeded to pick up the tray.“Good evening gentlemen, I'm here with your drinks,” I said with a big grin putting all my worries behind me. “You have your martini, chocolate-flavored vodka, and dry vermouth with a lot of ice” I looked up and I saw that they were staring at me with so much emphasis, that started to make me worry. So I moved quickly, wanting to be away from them as soon as possible. I placed the drin
Stella's POV.“Omg! Freya! Do you recognize that man?” Celine burst into my room just after we got home from work.“Oh no please Celine, I have to sleep. I'm meeting my employer for the second job at 5 pm. I just got the message on my phone. Please let me sleep” I murmured, throwing the blanket over my head.I still remembered how I had fainted last night, in front of that familiar stranger. I wanted to kick up my legs and scream out loud.It was so embarrassing. He rejected me since that was strange then I felt my heart almost jumping out of my chest.I hated that feeling! And I had no plan of ever reliving it or seeing that stranger.Then why do I feel tears surfacing?She pulled the blanket off my face and said “Oh wait, what do you mean your employer? You got the job without meeting them first? That is wonderful! No formal interview and you go the job”“Yes. Now please let me sleep” I covered my face again, satisfied that she got happily distracted. “No Freya, Listen. I have to t
STELLA'S POVI slammed the door behind me, my heart racing as I leaned against the wall. "What did I just watch?" I swallowed hard, the lump in my throat sinking into my stomach as I stared into space. "Stella, what's wrong with you?" I bit my lips inwardly. I had just watched Alexander having sex with his girlfriend, and for a moment, I had wished I was the one underneath him. A forbidden thought crept in, uninvited. My skin tingled at the imagined weight of his hands, his breath warm against my neck.I closed my eyes, and then a moan escaped my lips. My cheeks burned red and then I clenched my fist snapping myself into reality."Get yourself together, Stella," I warned inside my head. The next morning, sunlight flushed through the window, warming my face. I twirled in my bed with a moan. "When are you going to wake up, you lazy bone? Please don’t tell me all humans are this tiresome." Alexander's voice rang in my head, and my eyes snapped open. I scurried out of bed,
Alexander's POVThis human was really driving me insane. But nothing pissed me off more than her guts—the way she spoke to me without hesitation. It was probably because she didn’t know about my identity.Betas and Omegas in the wolf clans cowered at the mention of my name, but now, to think that this insignificant human had no respect for me was worse.She tried to act tough, but she’s nothing but a feeble human, and one snap from my claws would be enough to end her life.“Did you just threaten me?” I arched my brow as her words rang deeper inside my head, and then I tried my best to stifle a laugh.“You are nothing but a feeble human. What could you possibly do to me?”Stella’s expression remained rigid, and not a single waver crossed her face. I was pissed off, really bad, and a part of me wanted to feel bad about it.My fist balled against my thigh, holding hard. The plan was to frustrate her and turn this house into a living hell until she had no choice but to leave on her own.T
Stella's POV"What's going on in your mind, dear?" Grandma's words were accompanied by her soft touch, making me snap back to reality.My lips curled up into a smile so she wouldn’t get too worried about me."I'm fine, Grandma." My eyes darted over to the table, catching a glimpse of the food right in front of us.At her request, I had made sure to prepare a whole buffet, and from the look of things, she was enjoying herself."Grandma, I hope you like the food," I asked, tilting my head so I could carefully watch her expression.Grandma pursed her lips, and the smile on her face widened as it reached her ears."Of course." She gave a subtle nod and then scooped my hand into hers. "This is delicious."With that, she turned back to her plate, the chattering sound of the knife and fork scraping against the plate momentarily breaking the silence.My face was fixed on my food, trying to enjoy it, but I had no appetite that morning. I couldn't tell if it was because of that jerk Alexander o
Alexander's POVEver since I got back to my room, I had been restless. No matter how hard I closed my eyes, I just kept picturing her face at the back of my mind.I exhaled, running my hands over my hair."Hey, baby." I heard Lisa's voice echo from behind me.I spun around to meet her beautiful eyes."They are not as beautiful as our mate’s eyes."The faint smile that managed to cover my lips began to drop in an instant."Shut it." I groaned inside my head.Lisa’s body swayed gracefully, her pointed nipples practically glaring at me through her sexy lingerie.This was what I wanted—have fun and get lost in the aroma of sex, not get entangled with that human."Baby, what's wrong?" Lisa gave me a warm smile. Her slender hand wrapped around my neck, pulling her body against mine.The adrenaline shot up to my head as I grabbed her waist—rough, but also firm."It's nothing for you to worry about. I'm okay," I said calmly.Lisa gave a cute smile that made my cock jump inside my pants. I was
Stella's POV.I woke up gasping for air, my heart beating so fast that it felt like it was about to leap out of my chest. I was sweating profusely, my body drenched in a layer of sweat that made my sheets cling to me like a second skin. What just happened? Was that real? Or was it just another dream? I looked around my room, taking in the familiar surroundings of my new home. Everything seemed normal, except for the throbbing sensation between my legs.I sat up in bed, still trying to catch my breath and clear my head. The dream felt so real, so intense, making it so hard to shake off the feeling that it was more than just a figment of my imagination. In the dream, I was in the arms of a man I had never met before, but I felt so safe with him like I had known him my whole life. We were in a room, with dimmed lights and candles flickering in the background. His lips was on mine and he was kissing me passionately, his lips moving in perfect sync with mine as if we had been practicing f
