Awkward Lunch

Ester POV 

Immediately those words came out of him mouth, I choked on the water I was drinking.

"What?" I asked in embarrassment 

"Do you like men"? He asked again

"Why did you ask"? I asked him

"Well as you already know we are mates and I have never been with a guy before so I want to know if you have ever been with a guy before." He looked at me waiting for me to answer his question.

"Well yes, I have been with just one guy before" but as soon as I said those words his face changed and his eyes became red.

The cup in his hands broke because of how hard he was holding it.

"Are you okay"? I asked worried 

"I am fine, nothing much", he answered 

"Are you still together?" He asked angrily 

"No, not anymore", I answered truthful 

"He cheated on me few days back "

"Oh", that was all he could say 

"But I am okay now, I thought I loved him but looking back at our relationship over the past four years, I never loved him, maybe I just wanted someone by my side since I don't have a wolf."

"Look at me," he said 

I brought up my head and looked at him 

"You have a wolf but something is keeping you from bringing him out."

I looked at him in disbelief 

"What do you mean?" I asked him

"My wolf Night storm said he can feel your wolf trying to get out but something is holding him back."

"What"? I asked him

"I don't know, he replied but that is something we need to figure out.

Then our lunch came and we ate, when we were done we went back to the company.

After lunch, me and him did not speak, we just continued with our works till it was 5pm our closing time. I put off my laptop and carried my load then walked to his office 

"Sir it is 5pm already, can I be excused?" I asked him

"Yes you can," he replied 

As I was about leaving he called me back

"How did you get here?"

"I took the bus sir"

"Where do you stay?"

I told him where I stayed

"I will drop you off", he said 

"No sir, that won't be necessary"

"I don't remember asking", he told me 

"Let's go

I followed behind him like a lost puppy down to the garage to his car.

The drive to my home was so quick that I wished I could get home quickly.

Then he began a conversation 

"So, you know who I am right?"

"Yes, you are my boss and the richest man in the country", I answered 

"Is that all?" He asked me 

"Is there more?" I asked confused 

"So you really don't know who I am?"

"Should I?" I asked 

"Okay, have you heard about the Moon light pack?"

"Yes, I have heard of them, why? Is that the pack you belong to?" I asked him

"Technically yes, I am William Knight, the Alpha of the Moonlight pack"

"WHAT? I screamed 

"I am so sorry Alpha for not knowing who you were before and not paying proper respect to you Alpha", I pleaded

"It is okay, if we are going to be mates then you need to start calling me by my name", he said 

"Oh Alpha, how can I?"

"Come on try it, say William" 

"Wi...... Alpha William, I could not bear to call him just by his name" 

"We will have to work on that Est...."

I froze, only my mother calls the Est but hearing it from him made my body weak, thank goodness I was sitting, if I was standing I would have fallen on the ground.

"You don't want me calling you Est?" He asked 

"No Alpha, it is not that I don't like it, it is just that you are the second person to call me like that. The only person that calls me Est is my mother but I like it from your mouth", I said blushing 

He smiled and said "okay"

We continued the drive till we finally reached my house.

"Thank you for the ride Alpha William, even if you did not have to buy thank you for dropping me home" 

"You are welcome, look I know we just met and all but I have never been with a guy before and having a guy as my mate was something I never thought in a million years would happen."

He wants to reject me, I thought to myself, it is only fair because how will anyone love someone like me, wolf less, poor, average looking. So why will the most powerful Alpha want me, a average wolf less guy as his mate?

I looked at him and said 

"Reject me now if that is what you are planning on doing", I said it with Shakey voice.

"Why do you think I want to reject you?" Alpha William asked

"Because I am wolf less, poor and I am someone not good enough to be your mate and moreover you have never been with a guy before so that rounds up everything "

"Just because I have never been with a guy before doesn't mean I will reject you."

I looked up at him, "why will you want someone as me as your mate when you can literally have anyone?" I asked Alpha William 

"Because you are the one the Moon goddess chose for me and who am I to question her choice", he answered me

"Look, yes I have been with my fair share of women but none of them has ever kissed me before" 

I looked at him surprised and asked him why

"Because I am waiting for my mate", he replied 

"Every since I saw you at the beach I have not been able to get you out of my head, I dream of you every night."

"The beach"? So you noticed me too? I asked him

"Yes I did, I was hoping you would not do something stupid so I waited to see."

"Est, I want to make this work if you are willing to accept me as your mate. Yes, it won't be easy but we can try together"

I looked at him and saw he was being serious so I answered him Yes, 

"Can I kiss you?" He asked me 

Before I could reply, he pulled my mouth to his and captured his mouth with his.

The kiss was one of the best kiss I have ever had in my life.
