HARRY
I hummed as I moved around my office , getting ready for the council meeting. Louis had avoided me the entire day. I think he is just insane though. I mean I was his personal assistant for heaven's sake.
I rolled my eyes at his behavior. And wanted to scold him for ignoring me. Wait , what am I thinking again? Ughh
I re arranged the files ad placed the water bottles on front of the designated seats. I took on my recorder and notepad and sat on my seat . My phone buzzed demanding my attention. I smiled at the text. It was Niall.
You!!!! How dare you!!!! I am so gonna kill you when you come home , you bastard!!
I chuckled at that message. He sure was angry.
This morning I couldn't find any thing to eat.Which was when I remembered that I forgot to go to the grocery. That was the reason he now seemed to want to start world war 3.
"What is so funny? " A voice asked me.
I smiled as I saw Jake leaning over the table.
'' Nothing. You are early Jake.'' I asked him,
''Well I like to be prepared before the meetings.So I always come early.''He said matter-of-factly.
I watched him as he sat at his seat and opened his laptop, his muscles flexing in the process. Boy was he hot. I grinned at him lazily and we both set to work as others filed in.

''Thank you everyone. I hope we execute this and perceive the results as planned.''Louis' low commanding voice echoed through the hall.
Goosebumps erupted on my skin as he turned towards everyone, as they all nodded frantically as though in a trance. I felt suddenly very proud, like I had to show off. Am I really feeling proud to see Louis bossing over them? This is sick.
Louis sat down and clasped his hands signalling that they could leave , and they all stormed out in a few seconds. All but one.
Jake grabbed his laptop and turned towards me, an almost nervous kind of smile on his face. ''Hey , I was wondering, you know, if you would like to , um grab a cuppa from the cafe , n-now?'', he stammered out. Wait what?
Jake was asking me out. What the hell? And he seems flustered and nervous. I did not pin him to be that kind of guy. Still he was asking me out!
I instantly started feeling guilty. As though I had wronged someone. Louis .
Oh this is infuriating. Why in the world am I feeling guilty?Like I had to apologise to Louis.
This is insane!
''Oh! Jake, I uh, I don't drink coffee. '' I said trying to break it off smoothly. I really did not want to hurt him.
Louis stood up suddenly and rushed out of the room.
Jake stood there dumbfolded and then mumbled an 'its okay' and hurried out past him. I felt sad hearing the dejected sound of his voice. But Louis's abruptness affected me much more. What was his problem now?
~
I went in with my reports of the meeting to Louis's cabin.
He was sitting in the sofa at the corner. His back was facong me. Damn was the view good .
"Mr. Louis-" I called out to him.
He turned to face me in break neck speed and in one swift motion was looming over me.
I gasped at what I saw. His eyes were a glowing yellow, a mixture of the scorching sun with tints of caramel, this wasn't Louis. It was his wolf.
He shook as he stood in front me. His hot breath fanning my face.
"Good." He declared suddenly. Pride evident in his gruff throaty voice.
I shivered at the most obvious praise from him. I wanted to hear that sound coming from him forever and a bit more.
What did I just tell? I snapped out of my revera . I felt so angry at myself for feeling this.
I pushed him off of me. And he snapped out of it too.
He snatched the file out of my hands and moved away from me in swift motions and sat on his chair.
"Why did this take so long? "He enquired.
"It's only been five minuted. " I answered him.
Seriously, what was wrong with this guy?
"Well, if you had concentrated on this rather than my worker you could have finished it earlier. " he seethed out.
"Excuse me! How dare you? You sure as hell know that he was the one who asked me out. Of which I declined!" I retorted. He was really getting on my nerves now.
"Listen, I don't want you spoiling the spirit of my officers-" he started.
"Oh! Is that it? Then fine, I will go out with him" I said to him, just wanting him to shut up.
The bell rang just then indicating the end of my working hour.
And I stormed out of the room not waiting to see his reaction
~
I could feel my voice raising and raising until I almost screamed it all out to Niall. He listened patiently and then frowned.
"He really is a douche isn't he?" He asked me.
I just nodded at him for I was too angry to speak anything.
Niall dazed out for a minute and then looked at me with a determined expression.
"Maybe you should."
"Should what?"
"Date Jake. " he declared pompously.
I just stared at him like he was insane. Which obviously he was.
"No Harry, I really think it is time to move on. And Jake seems to be perfect for you. Don't interrupt. You deserve this and you know it." He explained.
I glanced at him thinking over what he said. I guess he was right. I knew it was time to move on. Saying it was easy. But could I really do that.
But then I remembered Louis's bipolar behaviour.
God knows I've gotten enough of it.
And Jake is kinda hot? My wolf whimpered. I took a deep breath. I was putting him at sake too. Louis's wolf is his mate too.
I hated Louis right now for turning my wolf against me.
A week before my wolf wouldn't have objected me. Now he was too much apprehensive.
I firmly decided.
"Guess I am getting a boy friend now then." I croaked out
Trying my best to ignore the deep hollow pit forming in my stomach.

LOUIS
I cursed myself for what had happened.
What was wrong with me?
I decided to ignore him because , well he really wasn't worth it.
But why did I feel the need to strangle Jake for asking him out?
When Jake stammered out his question, I had went rigid. It was like my immune system had shut down.
I could only feel slightly better after Harry had rejected him. But the need to rip his throat of still lingered. It was too much that I had to get out of that place.That bloody pathetic human!
Damn the mate bond for making me feel like shit .
The feeling of ecstasy that spread over me was inexpiable as I heard Harry walk towards my cabin.
I could feel Harry entering the room and the next thing I know my wolf had taken over me.
He almost slammed onto Harry and declared his happiness in Harry's rejection . He was so proud of his mate. Stupid wolf feeling for his mate.
I could only get back when Harry whose eyes had glazed with a foreign emotion , a one of love which sent my wolf into overdrive. I felt warm hands suddenly push me back and I snapped back into reality.
The minute I got back control, I moved as far away from him as possible and, to hold onto something, anything except him,I snatched the file in his hand.
Anger and jealousy spread through me again and it was making me burn.
So then I had to do that. I had to go and shout at him. Which was absolutely unnecessary. Of which I regretted every bit of. My wolf was screaming at me and giving me a big head ache.
Wait why should I regret ?
He can go date whomever he wants. I don't care.
I growled at my wolf to shut the fuck up.
I slammed shut my laptop and it shook from the tremor.
I determined myself to not let him get me. I was the alpha and he was just the pathetic omega. No one could get to me.
Hell yeah , I did not care.
