THE LADY IN A YELLOW DRESS

DRAKE

Drake couldn't sleep at night. He kept thinking about his sudden mate. He didn't even get a good glimpse of her face because he was busy hating on her scent. What was he supposed to do now? There's got to be a way out of this. How could she reek of vampire blood? It wasn't supposed to be so and he didn't understand why she had to smell that way.

How on earth did she get into his company in the first place? Drake recalled where he saw her. He remembered seeing her around his office area. No way! His workers will never let a stranger in his company. Though his company was big, there was no way that they would have hired a person who reeked of vampire blood. That is highly Impossible. He must find out about her, where she came from and how she came into his company.

The next day, Drake got to his office. The only thing on his mind was his mate. He needed to know where she came from. He would have asked the receptionist first, but in a situation like that, the person to ask at that moment wasn't' the receptionist but those who worked around his office.

He found her around his office area, so definitely she must have been coming from one of the rooms. Just as he was walking towards his office area, he met Naomi on the way.

Perfect! He remembered Naomi was still at the office while the anniversary celebration was going on.

"Good morning, Alpha Drake," Naomi greeted with a beautiful smile on her face.

Drake creased his brow seeing Naomi all smiles. It was weird to see her smiling that way. He had never seen her smile that way before.

"Did something good happen recently, seeing that you are all smiles?"

"Oh yes, something nice happened, Alpha Drake."

"I see." He should have known. Naomi wouldn't smile that way for no good reason.

"So, tell me, what is this going thing all about?"

"Well, for now, let's say it's a surprise. I will let you know later, just wait for it," Naomi said smiling even more. Just then, he that he had paid too much attention to Naomi that he had almost forgotten what he wanted to ask her.

"Wait, Naomi, have you by any chance seen a lady...." Drake trailed off because he just realized that he didn't get a proper look at her to be able to describe anything. But then, he recalled the colour around her. It was yellow so how can he forget that? He was a man of colour by the way.

"Alpha Drake, anything you want to ask me?" Naomi asked, staring at him curiously.

He quickly snapped out of his thoughts and cleared his throat.

"Yesterday, perchance, did you see a lady in a yellow dress?"

"Yellow dress?"

"Yes a yellow dress, I think her hair was held in a yellow hair band as well," he explained.

Suddenly, Naomi gasped with her eyes wide open. Drake was quite confused at the reaction of his secretary.

"You saw her?"

"Huh? Do you mean the lady in a yellow dress?"

"Exactly. She was putting on a bright yellow dress with a matching hairband," Naomi repeated.

Drake nodded his head in agreement.

"You know her?"

"Well, she's...going to be the new secretary to replace me."

"What?!" He screamed out, thereby startling Naomi.

Drake felt like he just heard the worse news ever in his entire life.

"I think I didn't hear you properly. Could you repeat what you just said?"

"I said she will be the new secretary replacing me. By any chance is there a problem with what I just said, Alpha Drake?"

"No no no, that cannot happen Naomi. This girl, where do you know her? Have you met her before? Do you even know what she is?"

"Alpha Drake, calm down. You are getting too worked up. Look, I understand that you don't trust any lady, but I can assure you that she's nice."

Alpha Drake couldn't believe his ears. Was Naomi defending someone she doesn't even know?

"Listen, Naomi, I don't want her. Find someone else," Drake ordered.

"Alpha Drake, you and I both know finding someone else is hard. It is not easy to find someone who would be exactly as you want. Why don't you give her a chance first, before rejecting her?"

Naomi had no idea why he doesn't want her. He can't come to terms that he had seen his mate who reeks so much of Vampire blood.

Not only that, but she is also the new secretary Naomi hired. Never! He won't let that happen at all.

While he was still trying to explain things to Naomi, his wolf suddenly groaned in his head. At that moment, he didn't have to be told twice that she was coming. He must not see her. Drake made to leave Naomi's office that instant but it was too late, he could smell her scent even more. She was close and he isn't sure he will be able to make it back to his office without bumping into her.

He quickly turned back around to Naomi. She stared at him in confusion.

"What's going on Alpha Drake?"

"Listen, Naomi, you must not speak of me neither should you give her hope. Tell her that I don't want her," Drake instructed Naomi sternly. He quickly looked around Naomi's office, good thing he found a good spot to hide. Without waiting for a second, he quickly hid.

"Alpha Drake, what is going on? And since when did you start acting like a teenager?"

Drake took his index finger to his lips, indicating for her to keep shut. Just then, he heard footsteps. It is her, she's in the office.

"Look who we have here, it's Miss Laura, good to see ."

Laura? That's her name? Not bad. Fuck! What was she thinking?

"Good morning, Mrs. Naomi, it's nice to see you too."

Drake swore his heart almost leapt out of his chest the moment he heard her voice. What is happening? why was he reacting to her voice in such a way?
