The Alpha’s Mate

“Down, boy, down,” Xavier said, trying to calm Knight so he could compose himself. The phone on Xavier’s table started to ring, and he picked it up to see it was his secretary, Lisa.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

“Yes,” Xavier said into the phone.

“Sir, Miss Dawson is here for the interview. Shall I send her to your office?” Lisa asked.

“Yes, send her in,” Xavier replied before hanging up.

“Why are you sitting here? Go and find us our mate,” Knight growled at Xavier. Xavier was about to respond but was cut off by a knock on his door.

“Come in,” Xavier called out, and as the door opened, her scent grew stronger and stronger, filling the room with a tantalizing fragrance. She entered, her eyes scanning Xavier’s office curiously.

She was a vision to behold. Miss Dawson had long, flowing chestnut hair that cascaded over her shoulders in soft waves. Her eyes were a mesmerizing shade of hazel, reflecting intelligence and determination.

Her tailored suit hugged her curves elegantly, hinting at a blend of sophistication and strength. Xavier couldn’t help but admire the way she carried herself, exuding a quiet confidence that demanded attention.

“Stop staring at her and say something, you idiot,” Knight growled inside Xavier’s head. But Xavier just couldn’t take his eyes off her.

“Do you like it?” Xavier asked her, trying to break the silence.

“Yeah, it’s nicely furnished,” she replied, her voice like a melody in Xavier’s ears.

“I had it remodeled by a famous designer, John Smith,” Xavier said to Elena, gesturing around his office with pride.

“I’ve heard he’s a very busy and expensive designer,” Elena remarked, her smile indicating genuine interest.

“Yes, it took me a whole year to get an appointment with him,” Xavier replied, recalling the challenges of securing the designer’s services.

“Why are you standing? Please, take a seat,” Xavier added when he noticed Elena was still standing in front of him. He gestured to the big leather chair in front of his desk, and Elena nodded gracefully, sinking into the chair and crossing her legs.

As they settled into the conversation, Xavier couldn’t help but notice how Elena’s presence lit up the room, her energy vibrant and captivating. Despite Knight’s grumbling in the back of his mind, Xavier couldn’t deny the pull he felt toward her.

“So, Elena, I heard that you had done an internship in my company two months ago. How was your experience working here?” Xavier inquired, genuinely interested in her perspective.

“It was a wonderful experience, sir. I learned a lot during my time here,” Elena replied with a genuine smile.

“Why did you choose to work in this company? Many others would be interested in hiring you and might offer higher pay,” Xavier probed further, curious about her motivations.

“I had already completed my internship here, so I was familiar with the company and the people. Plus, I believe this company provides great opportunities to explore employee efficiency, and it has shown a high growth rate, which is very appealing,” Elena explained, her enthusiasm evident in her voice and expression.

As they continued their conversation, Xavier found himself drawn to her intelligence, her passion for the job, and her genuine personality.

Our mate is awesome, Knight said while frantically waving his tail continuously.

That she is, Xavier said with a grin on his face.

Xavier turned to Miss Dawson, his expression impressed. “I must say I am impressed, Miss Dawson. So, would you like to work for us?” he asked.

“Omg- I mean, yes, I would very much like that. But what about the other women? Aren’t they way more qualified?” Elena let the meaning of that hang in the air for a little bit before she continued, “And I still have about a year more to go before I’m done with my study.”

“I’m sure that they are way less qualified than you are,” Xavier replied. “Believe me when I say, Miss Dawson, that for once I don’t want a woman for the beauty; I need somebody for the brains. And well, you kind of got a good body as well. As for the study part, I’m sure that my company can work something out.”

“But there are more than enough men that do this job, that can work right now. Why hire me?” Elena inquired.

“Well, we need some balance on the work floor. We need more women in the engineering department, so we can wait; we have the time, and you are very qualified. So, if you would like, you have the job. When you are done with your studies, we will move you to America and provide you with an apartment, if necessary,” Xavier explained.

“Well, first of all, I want to say thank you for this opportunity, and second of all, I would be honored to get a job like that,” Elena said.

“Well then, we’ve got a deal. I’ll give you the contract to read through, and I will show you the door,” Xavier concluded. Together, they walked to the door of his office.

Xavier and Elena shook each other’s hands and felt sparks and tension between them. Elena looked at his face for his reaction, but Xavier hid his grin and maintained a professional smile on his face.

“Tell the rest of the girls they can leave; we’ve got the spot filled,” Xavier instructed the secretary while escorting Elena to the elevator. After that, Xavier orders her secretary to gather all the information he can about Elena, prepare the employment contract for Elena, and send it to his office.

After entering the elevator and confirming that no one was watching her Elena did a quick victory dance in an elevator and made sure she looked presentable before walking out of the elevator.

She stepped out of the elevator, a broad grin on her face, already planning how she was going to share the news of her getting a new job in America with Oliver and her friends.
