Submissive Me

Chapter 3

The office was quiet, too quiet for my liking all the usual groups was no longer assemble before the work hour started, which made me think that my mate was already in the office, i sucked in a deep breathe and mentally rolled my eyes heading towards the elevator to make it to my office floor when a girl name Ashley Morgan complemented me on my style, I blushed bright red and thank her. Ares  strode up to Zandia as she entered the elevator . He asked her how her night was, and deep, deep within her she knew that her response would be “It was good.” Then, out of nowhere, even though her brain was yelling at her to stay quiet, she felt a powerful urge to ask him how his night was, too.

They entered the elevator together. He swept his hair out of his eyes and gave her a nod that acknowledged that they were, indeed, in this elevator together. She nodded back, watching as his strong, masculine finger pushed the same floor button she had just pushed, moments ago. Her lip quivered as she wondered why, oh why, did he do that? Why didn't he just trust that she had adequately pushed it already? I mean, the button was lit up.

As they approached the floor exit together, her heart pounded. When the time came, should she walk with him until she reach the cubicle she has as her office? She knew that she didn't want to. She wanted to sprint away, as fast as she could, in the opposite direction, but she couldn't allow the alpha the joy of knowing how much he truly affected her, no matter how much her omega purr at submitting under him.

But thanks to the Moon Goddess she didn't needed to as Ares cousin and business partner Vandal Carter approach the two, the man wore expensive suit just as Ares his facial features are just as heavenly with the exception that Ares looked a bit God like than his cousin. Was this how all the men in the Carter family look, hot and God like, Zandia was deep in her thought she didn't realize Vandal greeting her.

" Miss. Avangrid". Zandia closed her eyes and inhale a deep breath breathing in her mates scent mixed with the expensive cologne he was wearing. " Are you okay, Zandia". He said and touched her forehead, Her big doe like eyes looked up at her mates smiling face, she was busted he was now aware of what he does to her, Zandia fan his hand from her forehead and glare at him. " Calm down Zandia, he was only checking if you're okay, we've been calling your name over ten minutes". Zandia shocked expression said it all for the men, she was truly dazed. " I'm sorry Mr. Carter, i didn't get much sleep last night, if you both don't mind i would like to get myself a cup of tea, do you both need anything to drink", she courteously asked.

" Some coffee would be nice Zandia, thank you", Vandal said.

" I would be careful on asking this one to make coffee Van, he said winking at his cousin. I'll tell you all about it later, but me I'll have some freshly squeezed orange juice", Ares said smiling down at his little omega. Zandia kept her face straight, sure Ares was her boss but it was Vandal that gave her the job she wanted to show him he made a great choice in choosing her, she walked to her cubicle place her bag on her desk, she didn't bother to remove her heels as it outline her short legs in her fitted pencil skirt, she went to the kitchen area and got the men's drink. 

" Oh look she really can make coffee", Ares snickered. Vandal looked between the two as if he was trying to figure out what was happening between them, Zandia place the coffee down in front Vandal, and same for Ares. " Sir is there anything else you'd like for me to do?".  

"Actually yes, Tomorrow i will leaving for a short while to my pack, Vandal here will handle all my affairs here in the company, so I'll need for you get all my schedule meeting for two days and all the paper work would've been working on and turn them over to his secretary by the end of the day. Zandia face held panic, was she about to fired. And book two tickets, we'll be leaving in the morning Miss. Avangrid".

Zandia stood there looking at Ares as if he had grown another head, she couldn't believe what she was hearing, was he forcing her to come to his pack. " Zandia, you won't need to go all the way to my floor i can take the schedule and documents my self". She looked at Vandal as if his words are muffled. " Did you hear what i said, Miss. Avangrid?".  Ares knew she was silently freaking out and she trying her hardest to keep it in check. " I'm sorry sir but i could swear i heard you said i must book us tickets, but when you said us, did you also mean me as well?". Ares placed his right elbow on his desk and rest his face on his hands, he looked at her amusingly. " Yes, us Miss. Avangrid, please do that. Now". Zandia left to complete the task given to her by  Ares muttering curses under her breathe, curse that didn't went unheard by the two alphas.

" So, she's your mate". Ares chuckled at his cousin's curiosity. "Yes, and a pain, she doesn't want to acknowledge the bond"

" What, an omega refusing her alpha, pssh, never heard of it". The two laughed heartily. " Come on Ares, Aunt Lexi, your mother, and the twins mate, plus my mate, and should i continue". The alpha laughed some more, " what is wrong with these omegas". Ares asked. " Not all, because their is cousin Eddie's mate and Josh's, and Darrin's mate who never gave their alphas the trouble of bonding with them". " So what are you suggesting then". Just then a small knock was heard on the alphas office door, he immediately knew it was his mate. " Come in". His powerful voice boomed. " Sir, I've done what you asked,also the files are ready, Mr. Carter". Vandal stood up and took the files from Zandia, he winked at his cousin and smiled sweetly at Zandia before excusing him self. " We'll talk Van".

Ares gave her the rest of the day off to take care of  her packing, he knew how women were when it comes to packing for over night trips and they were leaving for two days. the drive home it bothered Zandia that she couldn't fight back with her alpha, she knew it was because of her wolf, but Demi was still not talking to her, Zandia pulled into her parking lot of her apartment building and notice her best friend car sitting there and she thanked the Moon Goddess for gifting her a stress reliever like Stella, Stella was no Zandia, she had just met her mate and instantly she was in love with her, yes, her best friend was gay. she walked to her building greeting Ben, the guy who's always attending to the apartment building. " Hey Ben". " What a gwan sexy girl". Ben was Jamaican,  so he had a accent, Zandia always thought he was exotic and  she would had least get some action with Ben but now that she found her mate she wasn't sure any more.  she walked into the huge apartment building and saw the ginger hair girl she was pleased to see

 " Stella". She screamed it so loud, giving her best friend a fright. " Girl what is wrong with you, I love you too but please not so loud". Zandia giggled and hugged her friend, " What are you doing here?". " Well i came to see my best friend but then i remember she is a working lady now, so i thought I'd just wait". Zandia faked cry " I didn't know i meant so much to you, but okay thank you babe". both girls laughed and walked to the elevator punching Zandia's floor number.

 " So how are you home so early, and please tell that d**k hasn't fired you". And Zandia growled at her best friend, but she was quick enough to caught her self before Demi took control " Don't disrespect mate". Demi said through the link. " did you just. hold up, did you just growl at me?". Zandia sighed. " I'm sorry, Demi got a little ahead of herself". Zandia spent two hours telling her best friend about what happened yesterday and the fact that her boss and the most powerful alpha in region was her mate. " Ugh, that punk, so he's just going to drag you to meet his pack, I'm sorry Demi but he should ask Zandia how she felt about it, that is the right way". Zandia felt Demi head lower at that, she knew her wolf wanted their mate but at least she knew he was not right in what he was doing.
