Chapter 6 Alpha hates humans

• Chapter Six – Alpha hates humans.
• Still typing aggressively with his left hand, Nathan dragged his phone to his ear, with his right. He nodded to everything his mother said before dropping the phone down.
• Why was everyone warning him like he had been doing something he shouldn’t get caught in? So far, he’d made no obvious mistake.
• The Alpha was returning should be a thing of joy but everyone was panicking, and expected him to panic as well.
• A message beeped in and he could tell it was his father. That man never called.
• “Your Alpha is returning. Tighten all lose ends” Nathan read his message with an annoyed voice. His dad sounded like he was sure of something.
• Picking up his telephone, he called for his assistant.
• “Sir Nathan?” she appeared in seconds.
• “I don’t know why everyone’s been reminding me the Alpha is coming. Was there something we did wrong?” he sighed.
• Noticing his assistant's silence he looked up at her, “Was there something we did wrong?” he said again.
• She folded her arms, looking out the door “Alpha doesn’t like humans around. Yes, you’re human but you know…” she sighed tiredly, keeping her eyes fixed on him.
• Nathan raised a brow confused. What about a human? His brain clicked and he sprang from his seat. Stephanie!
• He had employed Stephanie for basically no reason. He didn’t need a secretary, he had an assistant. And the Alpha wouldn’t be happy he was wasting salary on someone doing nothing. Also the Alpha doesn’t like human, but it’s his choice who to employ.
• “The Alpha gave me the company. I think I can run it as I like” he rolled his eyes. His assistant let her hands fall.
• “Leave please. We have other human workers. Stephanie wouldn’t be a problem”.
• “But sir.. Stephanie is the closest to us. To you. The other human workers work at lower positions, she’s a secretary and… ”.
• “So you don’t trust her?” he halted her speech.
• The assistant gulped before answering, “Yes, she is human. Also, she feels so full of herself”.
• “One, I’m human too. Two, she’s confident, not ‘full of herself', okay Ash? Now you can leave?”.
• Ash turned to leave but swerved back, facing her boss, her hands folded again. Nathan face palmed. Should he just replace Stephanie with her?
• “That one, you’re human and grew up with us werewolves. And that two, I’m pretty sure she’s proud. I don’t like her. What’s her job even?”.
• Nathan clapped his hands, “And there, Ash, that’s it. You don’t like her because you feel she replaced you. And you’re wrong”.
• Ash narrowed her eyes at him, “I am not jealous”.
• “You aren’t. Just a bit giddy. But you’d never be replaced. You were picked by the Alpha. Just take Stephanie as some filling, okay?”.
• Ash stifled in some laughter, “Fillings? Okay, so let me guess, she’s the bet of the twins”.
• Nathan’s pupils dilated. Did the whole pack know of the bet already?, “I don’t know how you heard that but Stephanie shouldn’t”.
• Ash saluted, “Fine. Let her stay for as long as it takes you to finish your bet. I pity her already” she finally left his office.
• Nathan struggled with his hair. How had those twins spread the news about? And how did his mom and dad know of Stephanie!
• Indeed he was just like the acting CEO when the company should be fully directed by him. The Alpha shouldn’t have a say anymore.
• There was a knock on the door. Nathan sighed visibly, he was never getting a break. Ash opened by his command and a middle aged woman stood behind her. “Um, sir, Mrs. Gaston”.
• Nathan shot daggers at the woman making her looks downwards, his eyes seemed darker as he nodded at Ash to let them both be.
• The woman was shabby like she hadn’t eaten or had a proper bath for two days. Her hair looked as if she had laid on bare foam.
• “Mrs. Gaston” his voice resonated the room as the woman attempted sitting down, she stopped, facing him with watery eyes.
• “We heard of the death of your husband at the hospital. Then heard that money from my safe was stolen. What a coincidence!” he leered.
• His voice did terrible things to the woman. She wanted to cower and hide. She had been eaten up by guilty and sorrow, but now fear.
• She opened her mouth to speak but words failed her. She just gazed pitifully upon the man towering above her to devour her.
• “Dishonesty. Theft. Murder. Those are your crimes, Mrs. Gaston”. She subconsciously nodded, accepting of all her mistakes.
• “If you’ve told us that your husband was dying” she looked up at the CEO as his voice softened, “I would've been arranged something, ma’am”.
• She tore her mouth open to speak, “I’m sorry. I’m very sorry. I wanted to save my husband but ended up killing him. I’m sorry. I’m sorry”.
• Nathan didn’t feel a pinch of regret or pity seeing her wailing on the ground. He had known her course of actions, he had known.
• Since the last two weeks, he had been watching her suspicious movement around his safe whenever she came to clean his office.
• His senses always told him to confront her but he deliberately wanted to let her rat herself out and give in to her sinful desires.
• She was a human, a measly human, who would let their heart work faster than their brain and then make their mind and conscience suffer.
• “You’d receive your punishment” he spelt out to her, “You'd be sacked. And the police would decide what happens to you”.
• The woman raised her hand to her head, heaving out heavy breaths. That was the end of her. And at the end, she couldn’t even save her husband.
• Now she’d be at the mercy of the government. And her children, what happens to them!
• She wanted to plead for mercy but the dark aura from her boss's eyes glaring down at her made her words stay in her throat.
• She never wanted to see this side of him. She was warned but didn’t listen. She struggled to stand, her head down, “I regret my actions, sir”.
• “You should”.
• “And I’m thankful for saving my life” she sniffed. She hadn’t commit direct murder but just theft. With police she’d have few years sentence.
• If he had handed her over to his wolf pack security, then she’d surely die, “Thank you for saving my life” she repeated, wiping her eyes.
• She was making for the door to leave when the door hit her from behind. “Oh sorry” someone apologized immediately.
• It was a young woman in her early twenties. She was dressed formally so might be a worker but Mrs. Gaston hadn’t seen her during her days as a cleaner at the company.
• The woman admired the younger woman’s stature and strawberry blonde colored hair before looking away.
• “Stephanie. I always told you to knock. Now you’ve interrupted a meeting with a business partner” Nathan sighed, rubbing his temples.
• Stephanie looked at the woman, from head to toe. She didn’t look like a business partner in those dull clothes, and she had a wet face.
• But then rich people didn’t always wear flashy clothes and the wetness could be from heat or makeup. She bowed to the lady, “I’m so sorry”.
• Nathan grinned, “Aish. Don’t worry, Mrs. Gaston’s doesn’t blame you. Leave for now”. Stephanie nodded, head down, embarrassed.
• She bowed again to both the lady and Nathan before leaving. Mrs. Gaston couldn’t understand what unraveled in front of her.
• Her boss was basically speaking informally with that lady. With a cute and bubbly tone. And his dark expression had left him.
• Who was that lady? She bowed again to her boss and made to leave.
• “Mrs. Gaston” she turned back as she heard her name. His dark eyes had returned, peering into her again, “Endeavour to live better”.
• She nodded, pushing off hair from her face, “I would, sir. Thank you”.
