(Elena P.O.V)
I have settled in completely in New York, in the beginning, I was anxious, afraid I would run into Oliver or any of his friends but I have been lucky and I haven’t seen him. Although I can’t shake the feeling that I’m being watched. It wouldn’t surprise me if Oliver had one of his little lap dogs following me around. That’s how I started calling them since they do almost everything for him.
Just like any other day, I went to work by 9 in the morning, it had been about 2 months since I started working here. And I love it, the pay is amazing and I’m managing my bills and even paying off some of the college debt that I have. Thank god for my parents, because I don’t have that big of debt but they are still there. I also support my sister a little bit because she’s still in college studying art and she doesn’t earn that much from selling paintings.
I walked into the huge building that two months ago was so intimidating, but now I grew accustomed, to it. I walk up to the elevator greeting my friend Erica on the way, she’s the receptionist and I made friends with her after a view week when I came in soaking because of the rain and she got me some spare clothes.
“Hold the elevator,” I hear somebody yell.
Without looking up from my phone, while busy texting I put my hand in between closing the door, stopping them from closing. And in walks somebody. The elevator doors close and I look up from my phone, there are only two people in the elevator, me and nobody else than the flying fucking CEO of this company Xavier McKnight.
He’s smirking at me with his famous player smirk, “Ah miss Dawson, finally able to put your boyfriend away.” Mister McKnight says I look at him my mouth hanging slightly ajar.
“Why would you care?” I say, regretting my comment immediately.
I overstepped my boundary there.“I’m sorry sir I shouldn’t have said that it was unprofessional.”
“It’s okay, Miss Dawson.” He says still with a smirk on his face.
“But you should watch out Miss Dawson when you text your boyfriend, you could get into an accident if you don’t watch out.”
I see on the screen that shows which floor we’re on that we’re almost on my floor.
“Well Mister McKnight, I don’t think that will happen very soon, seeing that I do not have a boyfriend.” And just as I say that the elevator doors show my floor. I started to walk out of the elevator. And I could have sworn that, I heard Mister McKnight say good, weird. Why would it be good for him that I don’t have a boyfriend?

It has been 2 months since Elena started working here, I was planning to ask her out but didn’t get the time to reach her and as her out because I was busy opening the new branches and exploring my company all over the world and also I didn’t want to alarm her by asking her out too early for a date.
However, I have to think something fast about asking her before someone else asks her out. I was busy but was not too busy to keep an eye on her and saw how the males are running after her to get her attention it irk me and my wolf to see that, they didn’t give up even after she rejects him, otherwise, I don’t know how will I be able to stop my wolf from killing them.
I come back from my morning run and go to my Gym to do some workouts. After that, I walk inside the washroom to take a shower. I get ready and walk downstairs to see Abby cooking my favorite breakfast.
“Good morning, Abby,” I said kissing her on her cheek and sitting on my chair.
“Good morning,” she said while giving me a bowl of oats and eating my favorite breakfast in front of me.
“What the--” I said and trial of.
“Abby, what is the meaning of this? You know I don’t like oats, right?” I ask confused by her behavior.
“It’s your punishment for not letting me meet with your mate and the future Luna of our pack,” she said with a pout.
“Abby, it’s not like that I don’t want you to meet her, it’s just that, she is a human, unlike us werewolves and Lycian they need others to woo them. and make them fall in love with us,” I explained to her.
“I know, but what I don’t understand is what are you waiting for? Are you waiting for someone else to woo her, huh?” she asks while glaring at me.
“Abby,” I said in my alpha tone not liking her disrespecting me.
“I am sorry. it’s just... it’s just,” she trails off while looking down at her hands in shame.
“It’s okay Abby, I know you didn’t mean to disrespect me, but please give me some time, okay?” I ask her.
“Okay, 2 months, I am giving you only 2 months and not more than that, okay,” she said narrowing her eyes at me.
“Now would you give me, my breakfast please?” I ask smiling at her. She said sure and make me a plate of my favorite breakfast.
After eating breakfast, I said goodbye to Abby and walked toward my car. It takes half an hour for me to reach my office. I walk out of the car then, then take my mobile out to check some emails when I see it's 9:15 am. Shit, I was late, I thought and started to walk faster and see the elevator was closing.
“Hold the elevator,” I shout at my mate and run towards the elevator while she just stretches her hand to stop the elevator while still busy tying in her mobile. She needs to learn to put her phone away for some time, I thought while pressing the button on my floor.
“Ah miss Dawson, finally able to put your boyfriend away,” I said when I see her put her phone in her pocket.
“Why would you care?” She said arrogantly at me and I feel my alpha aura getting darker by her comment.
“I’m sorry sir I shouldn’t have said that it was unprofessional.” She said after realizing her mistake.
“It’s okay, Miss Dawson,” I said smirking at her.
“But you should watch out Miss Dawson when you text your boyfriend, you could get into an accident if you don’t watch out,” I said, my smirk still intact on my face, while she looks at the screen which shows the number of the floor we are passing through.
“Well Mister McKnight, I don’t think that will happen very soon, seeing that I do not have a boyfriend.” She said then walks out of her elevator when we reach her floor.
“Good,” I said when she was almost out of my reach. I and my wolf was content with the information not wanting someone to come between me and her, which will only make the matter complicated.
Now that my way is clear, I have to come out with a plan as soon as possible.
My thoughts were cut off when I heard the ping of the elevator indicating that I have reached my floor I walk out of the elevator and walks towards the conference room with my secretary on my tail informing me about the agenda of the meetings.
