Ellie's POV
Stepping out of the car, I was almost swallowed up in the surging crowd. The reporters rushed me trying to get my attention with their questions. I became a star overnight. I wore a lotus leaf-off shoulder which made me look so elegant. I gave out my best smile to the paparazzi.
"How do you feel when you win the Miss Wolf World". A reporter asked. I walked past her with my bodyguards beside me, trying to make way and prevent fans from mobbing me. That was the order from my manager "Don't give a reply to any reporter's questions".
"We heard that top suitors are rooting for you. What is your take about it and how do you feel about it, Miss Ellie". I grinned at his questions while I made my way into the building.
"You should wait here. I would love to have an alone time with her." I said to my bodyguards as I entered the elevator. I breathed a sigh of relief as the elevator door closed. I can't believe this. Being a celebrity is hard and fun. Yeah, I am a celebrity. I'm now a celebrity. A Star!
I've always been waiting for this day, this moment that I almost gave up on.
"The winner of the Miss Wolf World International, Ellie George". Those words! Those sentences made me. The words re-echoed to my ears. The greatest moment of my life! A day I will never forget. The unforgettable moment! I felt on top of the world. I fulfilled my parents' dream, my dream. I didn't disappoint them nor did I disappoint myself. An ordinary Ellie George has become a lady single wealthy suitors are rooting for.
Since I have been announced as the Winner, my best friend and manager, Hassie, has been receiving calls from Alphas, Beta and rich suitors. I've become an instant candidate but none interest me. I've been receiving calls for endorsements, modeling and fashion. A fashionista!
The door opened at the top floor and I made my way out of the elevator. The chatter can inexplicably be heard lurking in the background throughout the building. In minutes I found myself standing before Hassie's door. I twisted the doorknob and made my entrance to the office. Before me sat a disheveled lady in her twenties. Her hair looks rough and unkempt with bags under her eyes.
"Didn't you sleep?" I dropped my bag hurriedly and walked towards her.
"I slept in the office". She said staring sleepily at me.
"You should get some sleep then".
"There's so much to do. Being a manager ain't easy Ellie". She grumbled.
"Have you eaten?"
"Yes I have. You know, I don't joke with food. Wow you look good, Hassie". She complimented, I blushed and twirled around, in front of her while she laughed out loud.
"You've sacrificed so much for this. You deserve it".
"And you deserve to sleep".
"There's so much you have to do. Companies are ready to work with you. Your signatures are needed and presence."
"Ahh yes I know. Get some rest, Hassie". I insisted. She is a workaholic.
The telephone rang out loud which distracted our arguments. I looked at her with a frowny face. "When you're done picking that. Go get some sleep". I said warningly. She chuckled at my words and picked up the phone.
"Yes, it's Hassie on the line". She said professionally while I stared admiringly at her. She is so cool. Even with her stupid looks.
Her face lit up and she turned towards me, handing the phone to me. I raised my eyebrows at her in confusion while she urged me to collect the phone from her. I collected it and placed it on my ear.
"Hello, who's this?"
"Hi, Ellie!" The husky voice said on the other line.
"Please who are you?" Even though the voice sounds familiar, I can't remember where I heard it.
Silence ensued for a while before his voice came up again. "I'm Alpha Brian". My heart skips, I couldn't believe my ears. How? Brian? He has always been my longtime crush who took me for nothing. He has made me face embarrassment and has made it clear to me that I'm not his type. Now, he is calling me. Alpha Brian is the Alpha of our pack, the southern crescent pack. I'm really thrilled and honored to receive a call from him.
I glanced over at Hassie. She urged me to speak and kept grinning at me. It seems like a dream come true. "Are you still there?"
"Yes, I am". I replied softly. "Why do I deserve to be called by the Alpha? Is there any problem?"
"Drop the formalities, we were schoolmates". He said, chuckling. Yes, we were classmates but he never acknowledged me as one. He always ignored me and made me face embarrassment. I remembered the day I confessed my feelings to me. They made a joke out of me but that didn't change my feelings for me. Instead, it made me love him more. More than before.
"How have you been doing?" He asked.
"I've been good".
"Congratulations on your title. I was thrilled to know that my long time classmate earned the honored title". Oh….Was that what the call is about? To congratulate me?
"Thank you so much". I sighed disappointedly.
"Can we meet, Ellie". He said. I jerked up from the chair and widened my eyes.
"We should meet?" I asked.
"Yes, I want us to discuss something. You don't have to worry about the distance. I will cover the expenses". He said more like in a pleading tone.
"Hmm.. no problem. I can't turn down my Alpha's request, Can I?" I chuckled lightly.
"Thanks". He said, sighing silently. I felt him releasing the breath he never knew he was holding.
"I will send you my private car to come pick you up. And please, I want your personal number".
"No problem. I will send it to you". He hung up the call immediately.
"What did he say?" Hassie asked curiously.
"He wants us to meet up".
"Oh My God Ellie. I'm happy for you". She squealed, hugging me tightly. I laughed out in excitement.
It's true, it's real. My heart sank in excitement and I screamed out excitedly.
Brian wants to see me. He seeks my presence. This is definitely an Unforgettable Moment.
Ellie's POV On the day my journey was scheduled, I woke up too early, beaming with smiles. I couldn't sleep the day before. I was thrilled and excited and wasn't able to sleep a minute. I remembered how I broke the news to my dad. They were so proud of me and advised me to be myself. Who thought that Brian would take up admiration for me. That would be a dream come true. I put on simple makeup and high heels and walked out of the house like the Queen I was. I was giggling and beaming with smiles."Miss Ellie". The driver asked as I near the car. "Yes". He smiled sweetly at me. I got guided into a tinted black Benz and we drove away. The back seat was occupied only by me. I felt like a princess taking a ride, No, Queen. The car was fascinating and had good AC. I gaze out of the window all through the ride."Sorry, can I get water?" I asked when I was feeling thirsty. "Yes ma'am. You can get it in the fridge". "The fridge?" "Just press the button beside you". Wow… I pressed it and
Ellie's POVBrian insisted that I should move with him to the Park estate. I didn't disagree with him because I wanted to. Yea, I wanted to move with him, I wanted him to claim me. True, it's against the moon goddess but I wouldn't want to miss this opportunity. I've been in love with this guy for five good years. He brought a ring worth millions for me. He gave me a house at the most luxurious part of the pack. A house worth millions. A house that I can't afford overnight. How could I disagree? Wouldn't I be considered an ingrate? He has been busy over the past three days. We only talked on the phone and video call one another. For the three days he has been so cool. I found myself falling for him more. He traveled to Medina for urgent business work and I have been signing deals, having brands but being with Brian would expand my business world and give me more business opportunities. "Ellie, don't you think this will have dire consequences. Because it's against the moon goddess".
Casmien's POV"Babe, you love me right?" Kelly asked, drawing imaginary lines on my chest. I wrapped my hands on her waist and pulled her closer. "Mm" I hummed. I've been with Kelly for two years but with no attraction. I like her but I don't love her. I dated her because I don't want to be overthrown as the Alpha. She knew this but she always hoped my feelings for her would change. "Casmien". She called out. "Yes". "When are we going for a vacation? I want to spend time with you. I want to have fun outside this Estate". She whined. "My hands are full. I'm busy". "Then, make some time for me. I want to spend time with you but it seems like you don't want to spend some time with me.""I do". "Then prove it by making some time for me. Please, Casmien". "Okay, I will". I said, sighing tiredly. A scent hit me hard almost immediately, like strawberry. I sniffed the scent in and it makes my body excited and in need. "Is anything the matter?""What? No". "Casmien, Brian brought a….
Ellie's POVI sat in my room looking dejected and sober. I poured out a drink for myself and kept gulping it down. It has been one week since that incident happened. I left the estate and stayed at the house Brian bought for me. I'm even ashamed to stay at what he bought for me. My love for him vanished the moment I knew my mate. The moment I gave my virginity to Casmien. I wanted to avoid Casmien. That was why I left the Pack Estate. And I wanted to avoid Kelly. She would be so heartbroken even though Casmien is not her mate, I heard she has fallen deeply for him. Brian wants me back at all costs. Even though Casmien had marked me, he still wanted me back. He has only two months to be engaged to a girl or else his Alpha position will be moved from him to Casmien. Casmien is an Alpha of the Northern Crescent Pack while Brian is an Alpha of the Southern Crescent Pack. If Brian fails to get engaged to a girl within two months, Casmien would rule both the Northern and Southern Packs an
Ellie's POV Oh my God! I'm pregnant and I'm pregnant for Casmien, he is the only person that has slept with me before and he took away my virginity. Since Brian discovered us in his room, and learnt that he had claimed me, he has refused to talk to me. The anger of what happened is still fresh and heavy in his heart, most of the time I feel so downcast because no one would talk to me, I would just be lonely and Hassie can't visit all the times, she has tedious work to do as my manager. I would sit on my bed in a different room, the one Brian gave me. He wouldn't let me continue to stay in his room, he says each time he meets me that he is disgusted by me. He can't stay in the same room with a woman who sold herself to another man whom she claims to be her mate. Even when he realizes that Casmien is my mate, he refuses to admit it. Right now I don't know what to do, I can't continue to live this lonely life, always staying indoors and having a miserable life. I have deep love for Cas
For a minute, I stare at the screen without motion or saying anything, my spirit is gone off in thoughts. I later realized myself when the horn of a car behind me woke me up to consciousness. For the period I've been stationed here, I didn't realize where I'm packing is an entrance to someone's apartment. I immediately drop the phone in front, start the car and move on, not minding stopping again until I reach where I'm going to. As I enter the expressway, all fears and thoughts about Casmien vanish like it was a puff of smoke blown by the wind. I become myself once again. The traffic today is one of the smoothest, very free and so in barely twenty minutes time, I arrive at my company situated in the center of town, that part of the Southern Crescent Pack which is considered as the business hub of the pack because of the many companies and stores as well as warehouses that are situated around. I pack the car at the garage. Hassie is already there to welcome me. I had told her a few
A loud cheer and applause emanates from the audience, most of them rise to their feet to clap and congratulate me but I keep my head high lest this makes my defense grow low. I smile in appreciation for the acknowledgement they are giving to me. On the podium are two seats which I sense are for me and Hassie. I don't think they should be there, I would rise in delivering my speech and once I'm done, I'm off the stage, there is no need for these seats which are positioned as if I'm here for an interview. Hassie steps up to the platform to use the mic. "Good morning ladies and gentlemen," she pauses to receive the response. "Today is a great day because today I will be introducing our honorable CEO to you. Help me welcome Her Majesty, Queen Hassie, the current winner of the Miss Wolf World. Let's welcome her to the podium to make her speech with a round of applause." The entire room vibrates with the sound of clapping hands, heavily falling like some heavy rain from the sky, beatin
Even after leaving the office after work in the afternoon, I still think of what to do. I know this is costly and a million and half dollars is no small money, it isn't something to waste but I wouldn't consider using it on this as a waste. The pageantry handed me a sum of thirty million dollars and since I got it I haven't really used it because I had nothing to spend on. Taking out one million, five hundred thousand dollars wouldn't make me poor, as long as I have kept the money without removing it to buy a single thing just because I didn't find that necessary, I can keep the money in my account without withdrawing to get anything that wouldn't be so important. My mind steadies on the road as I drive home. Hassie offered to help me but I ask her not to bother because there has been a ban on the habit of bringing in friends except family members. Alpha Casmien placed the ban two months ago but it wasn't in effect till last week where he asked his security to chase a man following
