The Alpha’s Mate

Oliver’s heart swelled with pride and joy as he accepted the responsibility. Not only did he relish the opportunity to showcase his expertise and lead such a transformative project, but more importantly, it meant he could be closer to his mate. The distance between them had always weighed heavily on Oliver’s heart, and this project now offered a legitimate reason for him to spend more time with his beloved.

Eager to share his newfound happiness, Oliver returned to the hotel with his friends. Their surprise was evident upon seeing his radiant smile and the lightness in his step. They wasted no time in inquiring about the reason behind his exuberance. Oliver couldn’t contain his excitement as he recounted the details of his meeting with Alpha Brandon.

“Looks like even the moon goddess is at your side huh, when you were worried about what to do about your long-distance relationship with Elena, she even provided you with the reason to stay here,” Nick, ever the playful friend, teasingly remarked.

Reece, never one to miss an opportunity for playful banter, chimed in with a suggestion. “Why don’t you build the headquarters of our company while you’re at it?” he proposed a mischievous twinkle in his eyes.

Oliver’s face lit up, mirroring the gleam in his friends’ eyes. “I was thinking the same,” he replied, reaching into the fridge for a cold beer, his mind already brimming with ideas and possibilities.

Nick couldn’t contain his curiosity any longer and broke the silence. “So, what’s your plan now?” he asked Oliver, genuinely interested in his friend’s next steps. Oliver took a leisurely sip of his beer before responding. “Honestly, I haven’t thought about it yet,” he admitted with a contemplative look on his face.

Reece, always brimming with ideas, jumped in with a suggestion. “You know, it might be better for you to buy a mansion in LA instead of staying in a hotel if you’re planning on being here for an extended period,” he proposed, a knowing smirk playing on his lips. Oliver couldn’t help but agree, recognizing the practicality and comfort of such a decision.

Sky, ever the peacemaker, offered a solution that satisfied everyone. “How about we use our free time to look for a suitable mansion while we’re here for work?” he suggested, his eyes gleaming with excitement. Oliver’s face lit up at the notion, appreciating the idea of involving his friends in the search for a new home.

“Did you call your father and inform him about the meeting with Alpha Brandon?” Reece asked.

“Oh, I was so thrilled with the news that I nearly forgot!” Oliver chuckled, his expression was sheepish. He retrieved his mobile from his pocket and dialled his father, recounting every detail of the meeting with Alpha Brandon. It came as no surprise to Oliver’s father, having previously assisted Alpha Brandon’s father in establishing his pack territory in LA. Yet, he expressed joy in knowing that Alpha Brandon placed as much trust in Oliver as his father had in him.

“What are your plans now? How do you intend to proceed with this project?” Oliver’s father inquired. Oliver shared his plans with him.

“Since Elena has decided to stay here for a year to complete her studies, I was thinking of purchasing a mansion in LA. I’ll be here for an extended period. Would you help me manage the pack and office work?” Oliver asked his father.

“Of course, son. Just ensure you visit periodically, so the pack doesn’t feel neglected by their Alpha due to work commitments,” Jason advised.

“Absolutely. I also intend to establish a headquarters in LA while I’m here. I plan to stay for a while to tend to crucial tasks and then return home to oversee the pack. I’ll visit here occasionally to check on the situation and spend time with my mate,” Oliver explained.

“That sounds like a solid plan. Make sure not to push yourself too hard. If you ever need my assistance, don’t hesitate to ask,” Oliver’s father reassured him. They conversed a bit more before Jason bid his son farewell over the phone.

Later, Oliver relayed the plans he’d discussed with his father to his friends. His friends also agreed with his plan and started discussing how to handle the projects in their hands.

As the group immersed themselves in the work details, Oliver’s phone interrupted the discussion with an incoming call from Elena. He immediately picked it up, a hint of anticipation and a faint blush on his face. “Hey,” he greeted her warmly, his voice betraying his happiness at hearing her.

Elena’s voice came through, soft and filled with a mix of nerves and curiosity. “Hey, are you free right now?” she asked, her tone reflecting her slightly fidgety state.

With a grin spreading across his face, Oliver responded, “Yeah, I am. What’s on your mind?”

Elena hesitated, playing with her fingernails before making her request. “I was wondering if my friends could also join us. They’ve expressed a desire to meet you and your friends since we’re all here together,” she explained, her words carrying a hint of uncertainty.

“It’s okay if you don’t want to,” she hastily added, not wanting to bother him.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“No, it’s okay. Let me ask my friends first,” Oliver reassured her before putting the phone on hold. Elena glanced at her friends, who were eagerly waiting for her response, but she ignored them, focusing on the call.

“Hey, Elena’s friend wants to come and spend the weekend with us. Is it okay with you?” Oliver inquired, addressing his friends once he had put the call on hold.

“Sure, why not?” Nick replied with a nonchalant shrug. He looked at the others, seeking their opinions, and they all agreed.

Oliver resumed the call and informed Elena that her friends were welcome to join them.

“Cool! Could you send me the address of the place you are staying at?” Elena asked.

“No need for that. I will personally come to pick you guys up,” Oliver replied.

“Don’t trouble yourself. We can just hire a cab to get there,” Elena insisted.

“Fine, I will message you the address of the hotel I am staying at. Give me a call when you reach there,” Oliver said.

“Okay,” Elena said, giving a thumbs-up to her friend before continuing her conversation with Oliver. The bell rang, indicating the end of the break. Elena bid farewell to Oliver and headed back to her classes.
