His Mate, His Girlfriend

Chapter 9

| didn’t know if | wanted anyone around me right now so | rejected his offer to go with me. He was disappointed but understood me.

I spent the entire day with my family as | would be leaving tomorrow. At the moment when everyone was at dinner, laughing and talking, the world seemed perfect.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Arriving in New York City, everything was different. The weather was chilly for my liking, but it was alright. | settled in a luxury penthouse my uncle Jamal arranged for me, | loved and had a great view of the

city.

My uncle Dean, my biological Mom’s brother, bought me a grand piano. | texted him to thank him, and he replied you’re welcome sweetheart. | had a full support system from both my father’s and mother’s sides of the family, in fact when | told Granny Deborah what happened, she threatened to cut off Ellis’ balls, poor man. | felt like everyone was out for his neck, especially my uncle Marcus, and

Garret.

| reported to work on Monday, wearing pants, and silk top, and h David Kofflin was there to welcome me. He normally didn’t do but since it was me, he was more than happy to welcome me... A little too happy. | requested he didn’t tell Ellis where | was, and he promised not to, even when they were taunting each other.

Overall, the work at K-Corpo was tough, but | learned a lot from my superiors and appreciated the time | spent.

New York was a little boring for me because | didn’t have friends. | missed Lilac a lot, but | decided to cut communication with her as well after she tried talking me into going back. | was afraid she might tell them where | was, and | didn’t want Ellis to find me, | didn’t want

to talk to him, his treachery was too fresh.

| was on my way home, getting in the elevator when David got in. | inhaled and forced a smile on my lips. | couldn’t deny he was tall and handsome, but he made me uncomfortable. He wanted me and didn’t bother hiding it. It was one of the reasons why | couldn't make

friends, most people in the office thought | f uck him to gain favor, but

it was furthest from the truth. He didn’t work here a lot but when he

did, | made sure | avoided him, but David made that difficult for me.

Love, how are you?” he greeted fondly.

I'm alright, sir, and how are you?” | said formally. He frowned, and he told me not to call him sir multiple times.

H

David,” he said. | only nodded, the elevator dinged on the ground floor, and we got out.

Alright now, goodbye, Sir- Oh, David,” | corrected myself. The president of my company smiled at me.

“| heard you're doing well in the two months you've been with us... Keep up the hard work,” he said, and | smiled at him, proud of myself. It has only been two months and hasn't been easy, but | try my bes and enjoy my work, hence, the best results.

“Thank you,”

He turned to walk away but stopped, and looked at me.

“I'm going to a bar lounge alone. Want to come with me?” he asked, his eyes begging me to go with him. | contemplated and checked on my time, I'd only go home to be bored. | accepted his offer, and he beamed, quickly leading me to his car. A driver opened the door for us, and we got in. We were talking more about work as we went when | suddenly felt dizzy. | shook my head and stared at him, but David noticed. Why was | feeling so lightheaded?

Love, are you well?” | could sense concern in his voice,

“| think I’m dehydrated,” | said. Lately, | haven't been taking enough water. He immediately gave me a bottle of water that | drunk. David was worried,

Rufus, drive to the hospital. She doesn’t look too good,” he ordered his driver. | wanted to oppose but didn’t. | wasn’t feeling too well.

We reached a private hospital in ten minutes, and he helped me out of the car carefully. Once inside, a doctor came to the room | was in. It seemed he knew David well. | lay on the bed as he got my blood and ran tests. In my blurry vision, | saw David standing in the corner of the room, his fingers under his chin in thought.

“You can leave. You don’t have to stay,” | said quietly. | didn’t want to inconvenience him. I’m sure he’d rather be elsewhere than in a hospital room on a Friday. However, David sat in the seat and shook

his head.

No, I'll stay and make sure you're alright,” he was solemn, and | didn’t argue. | was too weak to anyway. We waited for a bit, but | couldn’t keep my eyes open any longer, and closed them.

My Child

David's POV

She was pregnant. She was f ucking pregnant for Ellis Carter’s. | scrutinized the beauty lying in bed. Love Jane Chasia is a woman to behold. She was deadly gorgeous and had an aura that made her irresistible. How could Ellis Carter leave her? What a fool.

I sat on the edge of her bed, stroking her blonde hair. For the last two months, she has been working so hard and getting praise from her superiors. One wouldn’t even know she’s a billionaire alpha’s daughter because of how dedicated she was to her work. She was skilled, and learned quickly, the test intern we’ve had in her field. Her supervisor

even thought about offering her a full-time position job after she graduates, and | seconded it. She would do great things for the company.

| sighed when | received a call from my mother; she wanted me to go to dinner with one of the women she arranged for me. | met every woman each week to appease her, she wanted me to find a bride badly, but | wasn’t ready to settle down. | was only thirty years old.

| answered the call dejectedly,

Why did you stand up to the mayor’s daughter, David,” she shouted. When | didn’t answer, she continued.

You know it’s the reason your father won't give you the pack,”

My father, Kenny Kofflin, was reluctant to hand over his position as pack alpha to me because according to him, | was unstable, and only a family would tie me down. | wanted the pack position, and to be CEO of my company, not president, but | didn’t want to marry a random woman.
