Mate!!!

CHAPTER 4:

"You're back!" Mia's worried voice rang out and my heart tingled.

But then my expression was solemn and as soon as she noticed my expression, her face fell.

"Did something go wrong?" She asked me but then I couldn't even explain what was wrong with me.

I felt guilty and I just couldn't tell her that I had kissed my secretary right in the elevator.

"I heard the elevator got stuck. Did you get stuck in there?" She asked, following after me as I walked back to my desk.

"I'm fine, Mia." I said, curtly and she halted her steps.

As soon as I sat at my desk and turned to look at her, she smiled, wryly.

"Do you think I should not be here?" She asked, as she started to step away from my desk.

But then I didn't take her question to mind. My heart was still reeking of guilt.

"What do you mean?" I asked back, a bit absentmindedly. At this point, I turned to look at Mia and I frowned.

There were specks of tears in her eyes and I stood up to my feet.

"What's wrong?" I asked. I started to walk up to her and as I was about to take her hand but immediately she stepped back.

"I'm sorry! I shouldn't be here." She said to me and immediately, she turned around and ran out of the door.

"Mia!" I called out but she slammed the door. I halted my steps and clenched my fists.

"What have I done?" I asked myself. My eyes shut as I tried to communicate with my wolf.

Only could give me the comfort I needed right now but then it was like my wolf was angry with me as well.

Turning back to my desk, I was quick to text my driver to get Mia back to the Pack house safely. I didn't want to go after Mia because I knew nothing could be done at this point.

I would only escalate the issue if I ran after her. I wasn't even in my right senses, how was I supposed to act?

I realized that the thought of Emma had my relationship with Mia on a rocky ground.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door and my head snapped toward it.

The door opened up immediately and Emma came into view.

"I need you to sign a few things, boss." She said, holding stacks of documents in her hands.

"Hmm." I answered, nonchalantly as I turned my head away from her.

At this point, I realized I should cut down on every feeling I had toward her.

I loved Mia and I couldn't care to destroy our relationship.

"You can put the documents over there." I said, pointing at the end of the table.

I didn't want her to come close. From the corner of my eyes, I noticed she had a confused look on her face.

My tone and attitude was cold and she got the message.

Slowly, she walked toward the table and placed the documents on it.

However, she didn't turn around. She continued to stand while she shifted on her feet.

"What do you want?" I asked, in a straightforward manner. I raised my head to look at her and she opened her mouth to talk.

"Be quick! I do not have much time to talk to you." I said, in a stern tone.

Emma was taken aback due to my tone and she started to stutter. Her eyes widened as they watered.

"Shit!" I cussed in my mind as I didn't like the feeling I got from seeing her cry.

I wanted to apologize for my actions but then I held myself.

If I wanted to stay away from Emma, I needed to be strict with her.

"You do not have anything to say?" I asked, with a frown. My right hand grabbed a document, however, my left hand was clenched below the desk.

"I wanted to ask..." She started as a tear dropped from her eye.

Immediately, I turned my eyes away from her.

"I wanted to ask what you think about the kiss? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to fall all over you." Emma said to me. There was an apologetic expression on her face and I gritted my teeth.

I started to wonder why she would apologize for a thing like that.

I was the one who had kissed her and it was my fault.

I couldn't control myself!

"You don't have to apologize! Now, go." I said, without any emotion in my voice.

Emma was stumped and for a moment, she didn't know what to do.

"I'm sorry!" She said, in a meek tone and then turned around. I turned my eyes away from her, however, I could hear her feet dragging against the ground.

As soon as she walked out of the door, I sighed, tiredly.

My mind was occupied with Mia and I decided I couldn't stay back in the office anymore.

I needed to get back to the Pack.

A few days passed and my interaction with Emma had become strained.

However, I longed for her and I just wanted to get close.

Our workflow was getting slow and the strain affected everything.

It was a new day and I was looking forward to seeing Emma again.

The way she walked slowly around me, trying to caution herself kept me on edge.

As I rode up the elevator, with a frown on my face, I didn't know how to act toward her.

I missed her and weirdly my wolf does too. Ever since that morning, he had been on edge, scratching at our bond, continuously.

"Tone it down, Wolfie!" I said, trying to calm my wolf.

What was different today?

At the same time, I felt goosebumps on my body. My eyes narrowed and as soon as the elevator opened up, Emma was standing just outside.

Her scent hit me and immediately my wolf screamed, "Mate!"
