Jaylen’s POV
Everyone was preparing for the party we were organising to welcome the lycan that would be working with us in the new gigantic project we are embarking on. I was quite busy for a few days but that doesn’t mean I should forget about the only thing that has occupied my heart.
I’ve not seen her for a while but we won’t stop communicating. The happiest thing is that she accepted to be my woman. I was going to cherish this woman with my whole heart.
“Do you have any preference concerning the meals that day?” Sally was right in front of me asking questions.
“No I don’t. Just do your thing” I replied to her.
I was playing with my phone. I wanted to take it and texted Sam as we’ve been doing for days now but I didn’t want them to ask me silly questions. I know Sally wouldn’t but my friends would.
“What about our lycan visitors?” She asked.
It was as if she was intentionally disturbing me and I frowned.
“I don’t think there’s any special request from them and if there is I’ll sure let you know” Alvin my beta answered in my stead when he saw my dissatisfied look.
I just wanted them to leave so I could see my woman but they were sticking around as if they didn’t know what to do.
” If that’s all alpha” Sally said and I waved her off.
Immediately she left, I took my phone and typed.
“Where are you?”
Like she was already expecting me to text her, she replied immediately.
“In the kitchen”.
“Can I come?”
She sent me a shocked emoji and followed by it a laughing emoji.
“Why are you laughing?” I texted her.
“You said you want to come to the kitchen. To do what, if I may ask alpha?”
I imagined her face and her beautiful smiles. She must be with a mocking look right now.
“To see you of course”.
She sent me another shocking emoji.
” I’m not the only one here”.
“I don’t mind”.
” I do”.
I looked up and realised I’ve totally ignored my beta and gemma seated right in front of me. I gave them a nonchalant look and wanted to return to my phone but Alvin spoke.
“I’ve never seen you so serious at answering a text,” he said.
” He’s even smiling. That rarely happens even with us” Ethan added.
I glared at them and Ethan was grinning like a fool. I decided to ignore them.
“If you don’t want me to come to the kitchen then come see me” I texted Sam.
” Who are you talking to?” Ethan asked.
“I’m working,” Sam replied.
“How is that any of your concern?” I snapped at Ethan. “That’s a big lie” I texted Sam.
“Should I tell you who it is?” Alvin said to Ethan and this made me look up.
I gave Alvin a stern look even though I didn’t know if he truly knew who I’m chatting with.
“Is it a female?” Ethan asked curiously.
Alvin looked at me and smiled then nodded. It was then I remembered that Alvin once saw Sam in my chambers but I don’t think that enough to guess what’s going on between us.
“Are you saying that the Alpha is in love?” Ethan asked.
I gave him a stern look but I ended up laughing with his funny grin. He looked like a clown.
“Yes he is,” Ethan replied with excitement.
Ethan and I have been to so many places looking for my mate. He is a gemma and a gemma’s work is to always protect his Luna but now that I don’t have a Luna he does a lot of things. He’ll be so happy to see me have a mate.
“You found your mate?” He asked.
I shook my head and I looked at Sam’s message.
“Well I’m on a brief break” she texted.
“Then come to my chambers or I’ll come get you there. It’s a promise” I texted.
I raised my head to see Ethan’s confused look.
“What?” I asked.
“If you didn’t find your mate, who then is the female you are talking to?” He asked.
I gave him a nonchalant look. ” How do you know I’m talking to a female?”
” It’s written all over your face,” Alvin replied.
I frowned at him.
” Have you forgotten that knowing the female lifestyle is my forte? I know when you are texting a female happily. Moreover, I know when you are sad and when you are happy. I’ve passed through all these over a hundred times” Ethan boasted.
” I’m not you” I snapped and I stood up.
I didn’t know I was giving out too much emotion for them to read me like a book.
They also stood up immediately.
“Where are you off to?” Alvin asked.
“To my chambers” I replied casually.
“This is unusual,” Alvin said again.
Ethan then begins to laugh. Alvin and I looked at him.
“What? Can’t I laugh again?” He asked, still laughing.
I just ignored him and walked out of the office. I noticed that they were following me. I stopped and glared at them.
“Why are you two following me?” I asked.
“You haven’t dismissed us,” Alvin replied.
” You are dismissed” I said almost immediately.
” I am going to see that powerful female that captured your heart without a mating bond” Ethan said smiling.
I darted him a stern look but he wouldn’t go back. I looked at Alvin for help knowing how Ethan can be.
“Ethan let’s move,” Alvin said, pulling his hand.
” No, I want to know. Aren’t you curious?” He asked Alvin not to leave.
” I want to know but some other time,” he said, pulling him in another direction.
I gave Alvin a stiff smile and then walked to my chambers. I saw Sam in front of my door waiting for me. I was glad that Ethan didn’t follow me. He would tease us both and it would go on for months.
“You should have entered,” I said, wrapping my hands around her waist.
“Alpha” she called looking around to see if there’s anyone there.
Sure there would be. My guards will always be beside me. I know she was super shy but I didn’t care. I even wanted to show her off. I opened the door and let us in.
“I miss you so much” I whispered to her ears while pulling her back closer to my chest.
“Miss you too alpha,” she said.
I kissed her neck. She turned her neck so that I could have more access to her neck.
“You like that?” I asked her.
“Hmm” she said.
I then turned her to me so that I could see her face. She buried her face in my neck shyly.
“My shy baby” I said, removing her cap.
Her hair poured out of it and I hand combed it for her. This hair is one of the big reasons I’m attracted to her.
“Do you know my name?” I asked her.
“Yes alpha,” she replied.
” Say it”.
“Huh” she looked at me surprised.
” Yes, call it,” I said to her.
“Jaylen,” she said in a very low voice.
I smiled knowing what I wanted to do.
“I’m about to make you scream that name louder” I said in her ear.
