My Alpha's mate, Shivani Sharma [romantic novels to read txt] 📗

nothing about me and Xavier on any page of the newspaper.

"Good morning, little one," George said while looking at me. George is the old man, who lives in front of us with his wife, Maria.

"Good morning, George, can I take your newspaper for a few seconds? I want to check something," I ask while smiling at him.

"Sure," he said, smiling at me, and passed me his newspaper; I check the whole newspaper but didn't find anything about me, and Xavier.

"Thank you, George," I said, passing his newspaper back to him.

"Your welcome child," he said while smiling at me. I walks back inside my house and heard my message tune in my mobile; I pick it up to see, I have got a mail from Xavier.

*Good morning, Miss Dawson. I hope you have slept well. I feel bad that we didn't get much time to spend with you, due to the media interrupting us, but don't worry, I have taken care of them, we don't go official in front of the whole world until you are ready and I have taken care of some business, I hope you don't mind. I was wondering if you are free today in the evening, I was planning to take you shopping to get a nice dress for the charity event.

 Mr. Knight

CEO of Knight enterprises.* I giggle at his formal approach at the end, he will never change.

*What what time, do you want to go shopping?* I ask him through message.

*How about 5:00 pm?* He asks.

*Fine with me* I replied to him.

*Cool then, Be ready by 4:50, I will come to pick you up* he replied. I keep my phone at a charge and start cleaning the house, Reena had gone to meet his boyfriend's parents' house to meet them and will not return until the Charity event. Looking at how lovey-dovey they are, I can't help but think of Oliver, what would have happened if I haven't leave Oliver. Would Mr. Knight still have asked me to be his girlfriend? If he had who would I have chosen? 

I shake my head to get those thoughts out of my mind and concentrate on doing house chores. After that, I prepare breakfast for myself and then make a list of everything that we are going to need next week. I wash my dishes and go to a nearby grocery shop and then go to nearby dinner to have lunch because I was too tired to make lunch, and it is 12:15 anyway.

After lunch, I go back home, do other chores, and goes to my room to have a nap. I wake up to see it was 3, I get fresh and have some snacks while watching Netflix, when I saw it was 4:15, I close my laptop and get ready to go to the mall with MR. Xavier. I decided to wear my new top and jeans, which are ripped from the knees, and wear simple pearl earing and light makeup.

After getting ready, I take all my things and wait for him in the living room while checking my Instagram profile, when I heard the bell ring, I open the door to see Xavier was standing in front of me.

"Good evening, Elena, you are looking beautiful even in simple jeans and top," he said while checking me from head to toes and smirking at me.

"You don't look bad, I said myself," I said while smiling at him.

"Are you ready to go to the mall?" Xavier asks her.

"Yes, just let me grab my things," I said and walks inside the house, I grab my purse and mobile and walks outside the house, look the apartment and leave for the mall with Xavier.

It only takes half an hour for us to reach there. We get out of the car and walk inside the mall, we tried many stores but didn't found the perfect dress, sometimes I like the dress but, Xavier didn't, approve of it and sometimes he like the dress but it didn't suit my taste, after trying some more store we finally found the dress and the go-to jewelry shop to find the matching jewelry for it and then we go to visit other shops.

After some time, I got tired and my legs also started pain, so we decided to go to a restaurant for dinner and then head home.

(Oliver P.O.V)

I wake up with the hope to start a new day. Maybe today, Elena would finally talk to me again, I have been trying to contact her forever but she just ignores me. Sometimes she would give me a small text to let me know she is still alive, but my wolf is getting more and more anxious every day.

The tension has been terrible in the packhouse, everybody has been on their toes trying to please me. And not to irritate me, because believe me I have hit and thrown a lot of people around the house lately, and yelling there has been a lot of yelling. My parents are extremely mad at me, we are on the verge of war and, I can't even rule my own kingdom. The only thing on my mind is Elena.

I walk into the kitchen the maids look up from the task they were doing to look who came into the kitchen. And without a beat, they go back to work. I walk up to the breakfast bar there is already a steaming hot plate of food ready for me, next to it is a cup of coffee the only thing keeping me kind of sane at the moment since I still haven't found Elena. My mood darkens immediately when I think of her even though her name isn't even mentioned.

I sit at the breakfast bar and start devouring my breakfast, even though I don't feel like eating I have to eat, otherwise, I will get weak, and weak Alpha's get overthrown. I reach over for my coffee and take a sip of it.

"What the hell is this, don't you even know how to make coffee?" I shout at my maids.

"It's not my regular coffee, where is my regular coffee?" I ask shouting at them.

"Oliver Matthew is that the way to behave with your pack, have you forgot what I have taught you, it is the member of the pack, who makes a pack, a pack no matter what their rank is, I know what you are going through but you shouldn't behave with you pack like that," my dad said walking inside the kitchen. I was about to say something but he cut me off.

"Anyway, Xavier Knight was throwing a Charity event, and he had invited us, I want you to go and attain it and discuss the Nayla project with him," dad said while cutting me off.

"I am in no mood to attain any party, why don't you go and attain with mom?" I ask him.

"I would have if I and your mom didn't have to go Sunshine pack to meet Alpha Rajand, to discuss some important project, and please don't create any sene in the event, like you have created in the office with MR. Lucious, we can't afford to lose another partner in the company," dad said and walks out of the kitchen with his coffee in his hand. I sigh and messaged my head feeling a small headache taking over my head.

"I think you should attain the party son, I have heard that every employee of MR. Xavier was attaining the event, what if she was working under him, or any other best companies who were coming to attain the event, and you find her there?" mom said patting her right.

"You were right mom, I will attain the event," I said smiling at her, she smiles at me and walks out from there. I finish my breakfast and walk to my office to do some office work, lets hope I find her there.

Chapter - 36

 

(Elena P.O.V)

The next morning, after I was ready for the day, I heard my phone goes off. I pick it up and see I have a message from Xavier.

*Can you come to my place? We need to talk about how to deal with the press and stuff like that. And if we decide to take it further, we're going to need to have a press conference and, of course, up the security around you. And from my house, we can directly head to the charity party. Let's say in half an hour at my place, address information is on your phone.

XOXOX Xavier*

I laugh at his formal approach at the end; he'll never change. I look up James in my contact info, and there is indeed an address there. I pack all the things I will need to get ready for the party, then haul a cap and give him the address. It only takes half an hour for me to get there.

A magnificent and huge mansion comes into sight. His mansion is even bigger than Oliver's mansion. I still can't stop comparing the two of them.

I push the doorbell, and I can hear the sound resonating through the house. I see some movement in the house, and not too long after that, a woman opens the door. I assume it's the head of the housemaids.

"Yes, Miss, how may I help you?" The man asks.

"Yes, I am expected by Mr. McKnight," I say

"O yes, then you must by Miss Dawson, follow me. My Name is Abby Owners, but you can call me Abby," She said while smiling at me.

"Well, then, you can call me Elena," I said to her with a smile on my face.

"Very well, Elena, if you would please follow me. Master McKnight is in his study. He has been expecting you." Abby walks further into the house, and I follow her without a doubt.

We stop in front of a door which I can only assume is the door that leads to Xavier's office.

Abby knocks a view times on the door, and you can hear a come in. Abby came in and mentioned me to wait outside.

"Miss. Dawson is here to see you."

"Yes, let her in, please, Abby."

As you wish, sir." And with that, Abby comes back out of the office. You can come in now.

"Thank you, George."

"you are welcome, Miss. Elena." I just let it slide, not wanting to cause any kind of trouble.

I walk inside the office; It's very similar to his office in the company. I see a large desk with an oversized office chair behind it.

It slowly turns around. "I have been expecting you," Xavier says as he turns around, petting an imaginary cat on the head.

I burst into a fit of giggles; this is the kind of fun I have had with Xavier. It's hilarious. Outside work, you don't even notice that he's a CEO of a big-shot company.

"Oh, my, am I going to die now? Is this how I meet my end?" I say overdramatically, gripping at the edge of his desk, pretending to have trouble standing.

"Please have mercy on my soul Mr. McKnight."

"Never," he says with a predatory look on his face.

And with that, he pounces on me, tickling me; I burst out into laughter if there is one thing I can't stand, it's tickling.

"Please, I beg of you, let me go, I'll do anything,"
