The Alpha’s Human Mate

In the Stewart cooperation.

Work was already over about an hour ago. She had to stay back in the office late because of the meeting held in her department.

She took her bag and dragged herself out of the office. It was only when she got out of the company that she realized it was already dark. “I can’t believe I stayed this late.” She sighed. She hasm’t taken up to two steps when she heard, “Christina, my love!”

She didn’t have to look back to know who it was. “What are you doing here?!”

“It’s not what you think, Christina. I told you that woman took advantage of me.”

“And I also told you I’m not interested anymore. Is it by force?” Zach was her ex-boyfriend, whom she had broken up with a month ago when she found him sleeping with another woman.

She wasn’t pained about it because she also slept with another man not too long after she broke up with him, but he kept coming back and stalking her. She has even dodged him and left her house, all because of his stalking and begging.

“You can’t say that, Christina. Do you know how many times I’ve come here looking for you?” Zach said, giving her a dirty smile.

“I don’t care. Just leave me alone and get out.” She said. She was about to walk away from him, but Zach suddenly grabbed her hand.

“You don’t get to dump me, girl. I’m the only one that gets to do that.” He smirked, dragging her towards him. “Let me go, Zach. Leave me alone!” She screamed, but the guy did not answer her. She was surprised that no one was at the company to save her. Not even the security guards were at the entrance to save her.

Despite all her strength and screams, Zach kept dragging her. But before they could move any further, A hand suddenly grabbed Zach’s hand and turned him around.

Everything happened so fast that Christina could not stop what was about to happen. Callum punched Zach to the ground and kept pulling him up to punch him again. “How dare you lay your filthy hands on her? I’ll kill you myself!”

Aah! Please let him go! She screamed, tears falling out of her eyes.

Blood was already dripping out of Zach’s face and mouth, but with that, he kept smiling. “Callum, please let him go.” She begged, but when she saw that the man wasn’t listening to her, she quickly called the police.

Christina rested her back on Callum’s car. She was waiting outside the police station for Callum to come out. He was still talking to the police officer inside. She got really scared when Callum was beating Zach up, with no means of stopping despite her begging and crying for him to stop.

About some minutes later. She quickly moved away when she saw him coming out of the station towards her. She could not say a word because she did not know what to say. She just kept her head low.

“Are you a fool? You’ve been getting stalked for over a month, and you couldn’t report to the police?!” He raised his voice in anger. He stayed back late in the office because of the important work he had to do. He didn’t know that it was already late, but he knew he still had to go to the training room after work. He packed up his work and left his office to go home when he heard some noise outside the company. He suddenly became angry when he saw a man dragging a frail figure he recognized even when it was dark.

Christina did not know what to say; she looked up to him and wondered why he was getting angry, like he was the one being stalked. “Thank you for saving me.” She said and bowed her head lightly.

Callum was surprised to hear her thank him after the question he had asked. He sighed and ran his hands into his hair. He did not know why he was so worried about her.

“I should get going.” She said before taking a step forward, but he stopped her. “Get in.”

“It’s fine, sir. I can go home myself.” She had decided to avoid him as much as she could, and it worked until he saved her from her ex-boyfriend.

“And who said you couldn’t go yourself? Get in while I’m asking nicely.” Callum retorted.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“How is that asking nicely?” She thought. She had no choice but to get the car. It was already late, and her house was far from the police station.

Callum didn’t have to ask where she lived. He drove for about half an hour until he got to her house.

The car stopped in front of a house with a small gate. But none of them got out of the car. The car was enveloped in silence for some minutes, until Christina slowly moved her hand to open the door but realized it was locked.

“That guy. Why didn’t you report him? Is it because you still have feelings for him?” He couldn’t stop himself from asking. He felt like something was pushing him to talk ever since he left the police station.

Christina looked at him; she was not expecting that type of question. “I’m sorry, sir, but I don’t think we’re close enough for you to ask me such a thing.”

“How are we not close? I’m your boss. And… I can ask you that as a boss who is worried about the welfare of his employee.” Callum said, knowing that his excuse was dumb.

“I didn’t report him because I thought he would stop after a while.” Christina said without looking at him. She couldn’t believe that he was once the man she was happy about when they got intimate. But now, he kept making it clear that nothing could ever happen between them by making it clear he was just her boss.

“Still, you should have reported it or told me about it.” Callum said. Christina wanted to ask him why she would report to him, but she just kept quiet. “At least she did not say she was still having feelings for him.” Callum thought.

“Give me your phone.” Callum said, looking into her eyes.

“Why?”

“Why do you like asking a lot of questions? Just give me your phone.” He said before the girl finally gave him the phone.

He collected the phone and typed his number. “No matter what, always call me if you need help.” He said.

“Yes. Thank you, sir.” She said. She got out of the car after Callum opened the door.
