Runaway Mate

Office

Alpha Steven

Sitting in my office, the door opens and I don't have to look up to know it's Heather. For starters, no one would dare just enter my office without knocking. Second, her intoxicating smell of cinnamon fills my nose.

"Anything I can help you with?" My mate asks as she sits on the edge of my desk. With her being this close to me now, my wolf says something that catches me off guard. "Mate has two scents." Closing my eyes, I concentrate and he's right. There's just a faint scent of mint mixed in with her cinnamon. "PUP!" My wolf shouts out loudly, making me jump from my seat.

"Steven? What's going on with you?" Heather's concerned voice brings me out of my thoughts.

Standing to my feet, I slowly make my way in front of her and cup her beautiful face. "Steven?" She calls my name again, but instead of answering, I capture her lips in a passionate kiss. Her arousal begins to fill the room, and I pull myself back.

"I love you, but you know my rule about the office," I smirk at her, my wolf yelling at me to just f**k her. He doesn't agree with my rule of no s*x in the office. This is the only place I like to keep professional, and I intend to keep it as so. Though Heather knows this, she never fails to attempt me.

"Then why would you kiss me like that if you're not going to bend me over your desk?" She whines and I hold back my laughter. "Keep on messing with her and mate or not, I doubt she would hesitate to slice off more than just your finger." My wolf warns me, always sticking up for our mate.

"You know how you asked if there's anything you could help me with? Well, I have a task for you." She gives me a skeptical look.

"I need you to go to the pack clinic with me." Now she looks utterly confused.

"Is that why you're being weird? Are you not feeling well?" She asks as she places her hand on my forehead.

"No, I'm perfectly fine darling. Just, accompany me please. Okay?"

"Anything for you, Alpha." She seductively replies, making my d**k twitch. This minx. She'll get it later.

Just as I walk to the office door, there's a knock on it. I open it up to find my Beta and his mate on the other side.

"Josh, Jennifer. Can we talk later?" I ask, wanting to get Heather to the clinic.

"Sorry Alpha, I think what we have to say is important," Josh replies with a serious tone.

"It's okay, we're in no rush. Let's hear what they came to say. Please, come in." Heather opens the door wider and gestures for Josh and Jenn to walk inside. Well, okay then. Looks like the clinic will have to wait, I think to myself.

I take a seat at my desk and Heather sits on the edge as she had before. Jennifer and Josh sit in the seats across the desk from me. "Alpha, Luna." Josh begins. "Today was Jenn's first day back to work and she had some very interesting clients meet with her." Wow, I had no idea she went back already. I thought after the Chad incident, she would want more time off.

Jennifer proceeds to tell me about the conversation between her and the Thorpe brothers. That last name was very familiar, but I didn't express that to them. I need to do some research before stating what my theory is.

"Thank you very much for informing my Luna and I about this. Now, you say there's a work party on Friday night? Do you think Dexter and Xavier will be attending? If so, I would also like to attend if you don't mind." Heather looks at me like I'm crazy. Probably because I absolutely hate parties, yet here I am asking to attend one.

"Dexter was a little flirty with me, so I think he at least might come." When Jennifer says that, I notice Josh clench his jaw and hands ball up into fists. "I was going to invite you and a few others, so yes. You may attend if you're available." Jenn says joyfully.

"Perfect. Well, if that is all, you are dismissed. Luna Heather and I have obligations to attend to."

"Thank you, Alpha." Josh says as he stands. Holding his hand out for his mate, she places her small one in his and they walk out of the office.

"Now. As for you. Let's go." I smile brightly at her. I truly hope what my wolf said is correct.
