The Alpha’s Mate

(Xavier P. O. V)

While taking a shower, I remembered I had asked her out on a date but hadn’t specified when I would take her. Finishing up, I got dressed in comfortable clothes and called my secretary. She picked up on the second ring.

“Hello, Reena,” I said.

“Yes, Alpha,” she replied.

“Do I have any appointments or meetings with anyone tomorrow after 6 pm?” I asked.

“Let me check, Alpha,” she said. I heard her opening her laptop and checking my schedule.

“No, Alpha,” she said.

“Good. Then book a table for two at my favorite restaurant for dinner,” I ordered.

“Yes, Alpha. Anything else?” she asked.

“Do you remember the place we used to go to see the fireflies when we were kids?” I asked.

“Yes, Alpha,” Reena said, and I could imagine her smiling from her voice.

“Can you arrange a place to sit with some light snacks and juice over there? I’m planning to take my mate there after dinner,” I said.

“Consider it done, Alpha. Is there anything else you want me to do?” she asked.

“No, Reena, that’s all. Thank you,” I said and hung up.

After that, I called Elena. She picked up after the third ring.

“Hello, Miss Dawson, I hope I didn’t disturb your sleep if you had fallen asleep,” I said into the phone.

“Not at all, Mr. McKnight, how can I help you?” she asked.

“How many times have I told you to call me by my name when we are outside the office?” I asked her.

“You have only told me once, and I didn’t know if you called for an office-related matter or not,” she said on the other side of the phone, and I can imagine her shrugging her shoulder at me.

“Well, I can assure you that it’s not office-related, so you can call me by my name. Anyway, I called because I asked you for a date and forgot to tell you when. I hope you’re free after the office tomorrow?” I asked.

“Yes, Xavier, I am free tomorrow,”

“Good, then. I will pick you up tomorrow, and you can leave at 5:00 to go home and get ready for the date,”

“Thank you, Xavier, but I don’t think I will need to leave to get ready. We can go directly from the office if that’s okay with you,”

“I’m okay with that, Elena, if that’s what you want. I’ll see you tomorrow at the office, okay

“Okay, goodnight. Bye,” she said, and I hung up.

Once our conversation ended, I walked downstairs to have dinner with Addy. Addy was ecstatic when I informed her that I had finally asked my mate out for a date and it was set for tomorrow. She kept asking me what my mate was like, her personality, and more. When she asked what she looked like, I took out my phone and showed her a picture of Elena that I had taken secretly. She was very happy and excited to meet her and kept asking me when am I going to bring her to my Mansion to introduce her to her and I said soon. We talk for some more time then I head back to my room to get some sleep.

After completing my work, I glanced at the clock and realized it was already 5:00 PM. Perfect timing. I decided to take a half day’s leave and head home to get ready for my date. Excitement fluttered in my chest as I imagined the evening ahead.

Once I got home, I wasted no time. I hopped into the shower for a quick refresh, letting the warm water wash away the day’s stress. After drying off, I stood in front of my wardrobe, scanning my options. I finally settled on a cream-colored dress that always made me feel elegant yet comfortable.

I applied a light layer of makeup, just enough to enhance my features without feeling overdone. A touch of mascara, a hint of blush, and a swipe of my favorite nude lipstick did the trick.

I smoothed out my dress nervously, glancing at my reflection in the mirror one last time. Tonight was my first date with Xavier, the enigmatic werewolf who had captured my heart. The doorbell rang, sending a rush of excitement through me. I hurried to the door, my pulse quickening.

Xavier stood there, looking effortlessly handsome in a casual shirt and jeans, his piercing blue eyes lighting up as he saw me. “You look stunning, Elena,” he said, his voice like a warm caress.

“Thank you,” I replied, blushing slightly. “You look great too.”

He offered his arm, and I took it, feeling a sense of comfort in his strong presence. We walked to his car, a sleek black vehicle that matched his mysterious aura. The drive to the movie theater was filled with light chatter, our conversation easy and flowing.

At the theater, Xavier had chosen a romantic comedy. We settled into our seats, and as the lights dimmed, I felt his hand subtly find mine. The movie was delightful, filled with laughter and sweet moments, and I found myself leaning closer to Xavier as the night progressed.

After the movie, Xavier led me to a charming restaurant with a stunning balcony view. The city lights twinkled below us as we were seated at a private table. The ambiance was perfect, with soft music playing in the background and a gentle breeze carrying the scent of flowers.

We talked and laughed over dinner, sharing stories and dreams. I felt a deep connection with Xavier, as if we had known each other forever. His eyes never left mine, and I could feel the chemistry between us growing stronger with each passing moment.

Once dinner was over, Xavier had another surprise. He drove us to a secluded spot on the outskirts of town, where the air was filled with the soft glow of fireflies. It was magical, like something out of a fairy tale. He had arranged a cozy seating area with blankets and pillows, along with a basket of night snacks.

“Wow, this is incredible,” I whispered, taking in the enchanting scene.

“I wanted tonight to be special,” he said, his voice low and sincere. “For you.”

We sat together, munching on the snacks and watching the fireflies dance around us. The night felt endless, filled with quiet moments and shared smiles. I felt a sense of peace and happiness that I hadn’t experienced in a long time.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Xavier extended his hand towards me, his eyes twinkling with a charming smile on his face. “My lady, would you like to have a dance with me?” he asked, his voice smooth and inviting.

A soft giggle escaped my lips as I humored him, placing my hand gently over his. “I will, thank you, kind sir,” I replied, feeling a flutter of excitement in my chest.

The moment our hands touched, a wave of tingles coursed through my body, sending a shiver down my spine. Xavier helped me to my feet, and together we moved towards the meadow where fireflies danced like tiny lanterns in the twilight.

From his pocket, Xavier retrieved his phone and selected a romantic melody that filled the air with its sweet, soulful notes. As the music enveloped us, we began to dance, swaying in perfect harmony with the rhythm. The world around us seemed to fade away, leaving only the magic of the moment.

We danced under the canopy of stars, the fireflies’ soft glow adding an ethereal touch to the scene. Song after song played, each one weaving us closer together until our feet grew weary.

Finally, breathless and content, we sank back down onto the blanket.

As the evening drew to a close, Xavier drove me home. He walked me to my door, the moonlight casting a soft glow on his features. “I had an amazing time tonight, Elena,” he said, his eyes locking onto mine.

“Me too, Xavier. Thank you for everything,” I replied, my heart full.

“I would like to go on another date with You,” Xavier said lovingly gazing at me.

“So do I,” I said shyly.

He leaned in, his lips brushing softly against mine in a tender kiss that left me breathless. “Goodnight, Elena,” he murmured.

“Goodnight, Xavier,” I whispered, watching him walk away. As I closed the door, I couldn’t help but smile, already looking forward to our next adventure together.
