Zion's pov
I rolled my eyes at a joke Alex said. He is never serious for once." Don't be a kid"He laughed harder " but on a serious note, don't you believe that you can find your mate here?"I glared hard at him " you won't stop it already. I don't want a mate not anymore"Alex always gets on my nerves all the time. I look around the room hoping to see this lady that always put him in his place. She should be somewhere here. I'm sure Fred invited her too." Just stop it already. I'm not in the mood for all this" I said annoyed " let's get this party over and done with please"" okay big boss," he teased and I glared hard at him." Why are you glaring? " he smirked raising his hands in surrender.I was getting tired of that mask on my face, ready to remove it when someone caught my attention. My wolf howls. There was a lady in a nurse dress, she was as sexy as anything you could think of. I was drawn by her beauty. Even without seeing how she looks like, one can easily know that she is a goddess. Who is she?She looks lost. Then I saw her, Stella. The lady was with Stella." Hey man"Alex cut me off my thoughts. I gave him a look " yes?"" What are you staring at? " he asked as he looks towards the direction " I've been calling your names but your mind seems elsewhere"I never knew I was staring too long. She drew me in. I'm sure she's a human, I've never seen her around here before." it's nothing"" oh please, it's something. Tell me what it is Zion."" Don't be nosy"" Nope don't use that on me. What are you or should I say who are you staring at?" He was adamant.I let out a sigh " it's nothing"" Please......" Look who we have here"Here comes my savior.Alex freeze in his spot. He didn't need to see who it was " Stella"Stella smirked with folded hands and to my surprise, the little angel was also behind her " it's me in the flesh, Alex. Long time no see"I held unto my laughter. These two were another case. They fight all the time which sometimes makes me wonder if they were mates or something.The sexy nurse was all smiles, it's looks as if she was already used to this side of Stella. Funny enough Stella dressed as a witch.Then let's not forget her scent it drives me crazy. This isn't right at all. What the heck is going on here. Her whole attention was on Alex and Stella's bickeringStella ended it with a sigh then turned to me. She bowed a little " Good day Alp...Zion"The little nurse furrowed brows a little, trying to understand something. She is so observant I see." Good day Stella and who do we have here with you?"" Yes please, who is this goddess beside you?" Alex asked also interested.She repaired the masked on her face, she smiled a little but one can easily notice the discomfort.Stella held her hand " Guys here is my best friend, Ella"Ella? I tasted the name on my lips. What a beautiful name." Ella? I don't know where I heard that name from " Alex said thoughtfully and then lose that mask from his face." You?" The sexy nurse blurted, pointing at Alex. A sign of recognition was written on her face even if I couldn't see her face all thanks to the mask. Could she remove it already?Alex raised a brow "Me?" he pointed at himself while he stared at her " you know me ?"Stella also stared at her friend she whispered something in her ears. The former nodded at something she said." he's the guy I once told you about. The one at the office" she whispered. Thanks, sir hearing their gift, I was able to hear her. Alex heard too.He smirks " Ella? Now I remember where I heard that name from. You are the feisty lady at the office?"Ella rolled her eyes. I found the conversation interesting, what transpired." Zion this is Ella a new friend I made that day we went to Daniel's office. The one I told you about" he said." you didn't tell me anything," I said raising a brow." I didn't?" he asked confused." yes you didn't"He shrugged " Anyways, she's my newfound friend Ella"Stella snorted " Ella can never be friends with likes of you"" likes of me? How do you mean by likes of me?" Alex was annoyedStella shrugged " a player like you"Alex glared at her while Ella tried to calm Stella from charging forward." look who is talking, is that why you still haven't gotten a boyfriend now? You are always unbearable that's why" Alex retorted back.I saw that as the perfect moment to intervene. These two are something else." Guys, you need to calm down. This isn't the right time to argue over something that can be prevented" I warned." he started it"" she started it"They said at the same time making me roll my eyes at them " just behave yourself."Alex released a loud sigh " I'm sorry Ella, you had to witness this childish act of ours"Ella shook her head" Oh please you don't need to apologize. I caused it all. I'm sorry guys"" No you did nothing Ella. We were childish to allow this to go far. This should have been a peaceful and lovely party for you but I turned out to ruin it"." you ruin nothing. This is what Halloween is all about, the party is just getting started" and with that, she removed her mask " I want to enjoy every bit of it. Let go and dance "I was speechless, she was an angel. Calling her beautiful would have been an understatement, she is the prettiest thing I've ever seen. How did I find it long to figure this whole thing out? She is my mate and I need to mark her as mine.ELLAOkay, I'll be honest with myself. I think there is something about that Zion guy. He has this aura that gives authority and let's not forget how gorgeous he is. He is super handsome.Funny enough he's been stealing a look at me and that gets me giddy. Does he see me as a freak or something, I wondered.I sipped my glass of wine and pretended to be oblivious of him staring. I swayed my hips to the beat of the music. I was enjoying myself. Stella was also dancing and having a conversation with a guy. They look quite acquainted and I'm glad. She's been in a bad relationship. Her previous one didn't end well, I almost lost my friend to death but she fought the battle hard and won.Stella can be unbearable at times but she is sweet and fun to be with. I can see some connection between Alex and her but the two are stubborn to even notice." Hey"I almost lose balance, that voice can't be missed. I turned around to come face to face with the intruder." Hi" I pushed my hair behind my ea
ELLAI was all tipsy. I've had enough to drink tonight. I stared at the room and then my eyes met that of Zion's. For a moment I was glued to the floor not until I felt two arms around my waist which made me break eye contact.I turn to look at the intruder only to see Alex smirking at him. I pushed him away from a little but he was adamant not to let go." Calm down princess" he whispered to my ears.I rolled my eyes at him " oh please don't call me that "He chuckled " You are a princess, don't you know that?"" Hey, don't even try flirting with me" I glared at him." Are you always this feisty," he asked and finally let me go." Only to some set of people" '.." But I'm not a player, "he said to himself and he also didn't find what he said convincingly." just be far away from me "." Calm down princess"." Stop calling me that!" I huff and he chuckled" It's really easy to rile you up. That's why I want to be friends with you though"I furrowed my brow" So you can always rile me
ZionI was able to escape from Annie. She's been all over me since she saw me. It's so annoying. She's always like that around me and I made it clear to her that I don't want her. Moreover, she has a mate somewhere so why try to glue herself to me.They all want fame and I seem like their perfect target since I'm a high ranker. She won't be the first and also won't be the last. I fixed up my shirt and then made my way upstairs. Exactly where Ella went through.I began my search for her. I could see the sore look in her eyes the moment she saw Annie beside me. That just shows that she feels some kind of pull towards me and I'm glad. It's always hard to know how humans feel especially when they are our mates.I keep wondering why was I given a second chance to have a mate? Why does it have to be a human but I don't mind really? She's beautiful and does seem mysterious. There is something about her that is so skeptical.I opened the first door to my left but saw no one there, I did the s
ELLAI moaned softly enjoying my sleeping posture. I felt a hand wrapped around my waist making my eyes snap open. I was in an unfamiliar room, where was I?.I tried all my best to pry the hand off me. The event of what transpired last night came rushing back to me. I had a one-night stand for the first time in my life. I could still feel the pain in between my legs.A blush crept up my face. Last night was heavens, I've never done this with any man before. Zion was so gentle with me. I had thought he'll be rough but he proved me wrong. Gosh, what is this man doing to me ?.I was still naked from under the duvet. I sat upright gently not wishing to wake him up, Zion groan a little when he felt my absence but he didn't wake up. He looks peaceful when he sleeps. I stared at his beautiful face sadly. This will be the last time we'll meet. I need to run off before he wakes up.I got down from the bed and went to clean myself up in the bathroom. I was so fast about it just so he won't wake
Zion" Take this away!" I yelled at the maid. She took the coffee and ran off. I knew that wasn't called for but who cares? I'm the alpha and they must obey me.I tried to control my anger but found it hard to do. I was so mad, really mad and angry at her. She left without saying goodbye or something. Does what happened last night mean nothing to her? Was I just one of her puppets?The nerves she has to just flew like that. Alex knew something was off but didn't say anything. He's been staring at me for a while now.I glared at him when I caught him staring again " What?! What are you looking at ?"He raised his hands in surrender " nothing "" Fuck off man"" Look Zion I don't know what happened to you but please you need to tone down the anger in you," he said.I glared hard at him " you don't get to tell me what to do! You have no right to tell me what to do! "He scoffed " I won't sit here and hear you yell at me all day. I should leave maybe when you get yourself together you'll
Stella was persistent, she wants to know where I was last night. She has her hand on her waist ready to hear me speak and I didn't give any indication that I'd speakShe pouted " really? You won't say anything ?"I rolled my eyes " I was upstairs where else ?"She shook her head at me " but why didn't I see you. When I got upstairs, all the rooms were occupied with people having sex except you are among them "She got me right there " I don't know what you're talking about "" Don't play games with me, Ella. I know you didn't go home last night so where the hell did you spend the night? I tried calling your line but it was switched off"I shrugged " that's because I didn't want any disturbance. I was already asleep"" I don't know why I find it hard to believe" she gave me a look " you were with someone, my instinct tells me you were with someone last night," Said and came right beside me.Stella sniffed the air like a dog " you smell different "" Are you now a dog?"She glared at me
I don't have the zeal to go to work today, I feel really lazy and I feel as if I'm wasting my time working in that company. The pay isn't as good as you think. I pouted then got up from the bed.I stretched a little and dragged myself to the restroom. Immediately I got in my eyes went to the mirror on the wall. I've noticed that my face glow this past few days and it makes me wonder why and how? I haven't been using any cream on my skin so why was I experiencing this? I'm not complaining but one needs to be alarmed when you find something suspicious about yourself.I sprinkled water on my face then picked up the toothbrush and brush my teeth. I've got enough time to prepare for work. When I was done I decided to take my bath. I enjoyed every bit of that shower.I was out a few minutes later with a towel wrapped around me. I picked out a pair of trousers and a shirt. I put them on and apply a little powder to my face. I'm not a make-up type of person but I still appreciate applying a l
Surprisingly, Alex what quiet and he allowed me to do my work in peace. I glanced at him from where I was, he was on his phone texting Someone. He looks really serious and I'm very sure whoever he was texting is important.I shrugged not to dwell too much over it. Just when I taught I can have my peace a call from Stella came through. I groaned" Some boyfriend?" Alex asked from where he sat and I rolled my eyes at him." it's none of your business"He shrugged " okay".." Hey girly" I chirped in when I picked up.Stella screamed into the phone. I had to move it away from my ears because of how loud she was." Stella! What the heck"At the mention of her name, Alex raised his head. He looks interested in the conversation." I'm sorry. Just guess what?!" she screamed again.Why was she so happy? I wondered" What is it?"" it's Marcus"I furrowed my brows confused " what is it about him ?"" well, I might have thought over it and then decided to give him a chance," she said.I squeale
