The Alpha’s Mate

The broker, eager to meet Oliver’s specifications, took them to view two more mansions. However, Oliver rejected each one for various reasons – one was too small, the other too far from the city. Despite the setbacks, the group remained optimistic. Following the mansion tours, they decided to head to a restaurant for lunch, hoping to recharge before the next round of searching.

After a satisfying meal, they returned to the hotel to rest while the broker assured them he would return in the evening with better options. True to his word, in the evening, the group, fueled by snacks, embarked on another mansion hunt. This time, luck was on their side.

The mansion that awaited them near Elena’s college surpassed all of Oliver’s expectations. As they approached, the exterior revealed a grand structure surrounded by lush greenery. The entrance featured intricately designed double doors that opened into a spacious foyer, adorned with tasteful decor. The exterior was complemented by well-maintained gardens and a pathway leading to a peaceful, wooded area.

Inside, the mansion was a perfect blend of luxury and functionality. The spacious living areas were adorned with elegant furnishings and large windows that offered stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The mansion boasted a garage, playroom, training room, study, mini theatre, and a refreshing swimming pool. The rooms were well-appointed, and the overall design reflected a harmonious integration of modern amenities with the tranquillity of nature.

Feeling content with their find, Oliver decided to sign the deal with the broker. The group then proceeded to the broker’s office to complete the necessary formalities. With the paperwork settled, they returned to the hotel to get ready for a night out to celebrate the successful acquisition.

As the group made their way back to the hotel, Piru turned to Cassie with a thoughtful expression.

‘Cassie, when should we tell Elena about the move to New York? And how do we explain it without revealing the real reason?’

Cassie gazed out of the car window. ‘Let’s help our new Alpha settle into his mansion first. After that, we’ll have to come up with an excuse. I can’t bear to break the news to her now; she seems so happy.’

Piru nodded in agreement. ‘And what about Oliver? When do we tell her we’re dating Reece and Nick?’

Cassie hesitated. ‘Maybe we shouldn’t tell her directly. Let’s let her figure it out naturally. If we spill everything at once, she might get suspicious. We’ll act natural and let her confront us about it. Then, we can share the news about moving to New York too.’

Piru agreed with the plan and mind-linked Milley to inform her about her plans and Milley also agreed with their plan. his scene in 3rd person P. O. V. 2. Write in a novel-like format. After finishing their preparations, the group made their way to the bustling club.

Upon entering the club, they immediately gravitated towards the bar, eager to order their drinks and kick-start the night’s festivities. Elena, with a gleam of pride in her eyes and a glass in hand, proposed a toast. “Let’s raise our glasses to Oliver’s accomplishment of securing a big project and establishing headquarters in LA,” she announced, grabbing a glass from the passing tray.

The others followed suit, lifting their glasses in the air. “For Oliver!” they echoed in unison before clinking their glasses together, the sound reverberating through the lively atmosphere.

With drinks in hand, they further indulged themselves in the vibrant ambience of the club. Piru, his enthusiasm contagious, seized the opportunity to lead the girls onto the dance floor. Gleefully, he tugged them along, their laughter and excited chatter permeating the air.

Meanwhile, the boys stayed near the bar, savouring their beverages as they watched their friends dance and revel in the moment.

However, their mirthful camaraderie took a protective turn when they noticed a group of men approaching their female counterparts. Putting their glasses down with purpose, the boys swiftly moved towards their mates, ensuring that no unwelcome attention would undermine the carefree nature of the night.

The music continued to pulse through the air as the group danced and laughed with abandon. With drinks refilled and the night in full swing, Oliver gently reminded them of the impending lectures that awaited them. Groaning in irritation, the girls reluctantly acknowledged his advice and agreed to head back to the hotel. On the way to the hotel, Elena fell asleep in the car, tired from all the hustle and bustle of the day.

Oliver carried her princess-style to his room, removed her makeup, changed her clothes, and tucked her into bed with a kiss on her forehead. Then, he changed his clothes and got into bed himself, pulling Elena close to him. They fell asleep while he held her in his arms. The following day, after breakfast, Oliver drove the girls to their dorm. The girls placed their bags on the bed, took a quick shower, and headed to college. While Elena attended her lectures, Piru, Cassie, and Milley made some excuses and headed to the principal’s office to complete the formalities of transferring to a different college.

The days continued to pass in a whirlwind of lectures and helping Oliver settle into his new mansion. Elena, amidst her busy schedule, couldn’t help but notice a growing sense of secrecy among her friends. They had been whispering and exchanging glances behind her back, and the frequency of these interactions only seemed to increase with each passing day. It was as though they were hiding something from her, and it made Elena feel left out and unsure of their true intentions.

Unable to bear it any longer, Elena finally reached her breaking point. She stopped abruptly, setting down the boxes she had been carrying with more force than necessary, and snapped at her friends with frustration evident in her voice. “Alright guys, spill it out,” she demanded, her hands placed firmly on her waist. “What is going on between you guys? I’ve been watching you for a while now, whispering and talking behind my back. At first, I thought it was nothing, but it’s been happening for too long. What are you guys hiding from me?”

Cassie and Piru exchanged glances, silently asking each other who should take the lead in breaking the news to Elena. Their uncertainty was evident, but before they could respond, Milley stepped forward, taking a deep breath to gather her thoughts.

“Elena,” Milley began, her voice gentle yet filled with sincerity. “We didn’t mean to exclude you or keep anything from you. It’s just that we are waiting for the right time to share the news with you.”

“What news?” Elena asked. “That we were going to settle in NY?” This time it was Cassie who answered her question. The news of her friends moving to New York shocks Elena.

‘What? Why? Why didn’t anyone tell me about it before?’ Elena sputters, wide-eyed and unable to comprehend the reason behind the sudden decision to move to NY.

“I and Cassie got a scholarship from a very famous college in New York, and Milley’s father got a promotion, leading to a transfer to the headquarters in NY. So, we were planning to move to NY,” Piru explained to her.

“We haven’t told you about this because it wasn’t confirmed whether we are going to move to NY or not. But when the principal called us on Monday, it was confirmed that we were going to be transferred to another college in NY. Only the last formalities remained to be done before we can transfer to the college,” Milley gently explained to her.

Elena opened and closed her mouth, wanting to say something. Not knowing what to express, she simply walked out, not wanting her friends to see her in this vulnerable condition. Ignoring her friend’s call, they wanted to follow her, but Oliver stopped them.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“The news of you guys moving to NY comes as a shock to her. You should give her some time to compose herself before confronting her,” Oliver said, stopping them as they started to go after Elena.

Oliver discreetly ensured they weren’t being followed before finding Elena near the fountain, hunched over with a heavy heart. Without uttering a word, he settled beside her, silently conveying his willingness to listen. Tears welled in Elena’s eyes as she expressed her anguish.

“How can they do this to me? I can understand they didn’t want to make me worry about them leaving me when it was not confirmed but still,” she lamented, a tear tracing a path down her cheek. “I only have them as a friend, what will I do if they leave me too?”

Oliver, without breaking the silence, reassured her, “You still have me and Sky by your side even after they leave, since we have some work that we need to complete here. Did you forget about it?”

“But still, it’s not the same. I would be all alone in college,” Elena whispered, wiping away her tears. “I have made so many plans thinking that everyone was going to be here. Now, what’s going to happen with those plans?”

Invisible but observant, Cassie emerged from her hiding place, expressing her annoyance. “Geeze, you were acting like we are not going to shift to NY but going to die.”

“It’s not like we are going to die or something. We are just moving to NY. Besides, it’s only for a year. Then you can come to NY for job purposes. We can always fulfil those plans in NY and even come here from time to time to meet your parents and spend our vacation time,” Cassie reassured, embracing Elena.

“I know, but still, I am going to miss you guys,” Elena admitted, returning the hug. Piru and Milley joined the embrace, sharing the emotional moment.

“So when are you guys planning to leave for NY?” Elena inquired, composed after the heartfelt exchange.

“Next week,” Cassie replied. “Let’s make sure to give them a huge farewell party before they leave for NY,” Elena suggested, and Oliver, side-hugging her, agreed with a smile, relieved that Elena was beginning to find solace.

They conversed for some more time, discussing the completion of formalities for their transfer to a different college. They covered topics such as which college in NY they were moving to, and whether they had secured accommodations, and Elena felt relieved to learn that all her friends were transferring to the same “South Mount College.”

Following this, they resumed helping Oliver with arranging his house supplies. Days passed swiftly, and before they knew it, the day for Elena’s friends to depart for NY arrived. True to their promise, Elena and Oliver organized a grand farewell party, serving as a blend of Oliver’s housewarming and Elena’s farewell.

The next day, both Oliver and Elena accompanied their friends to the airport. After bidding them farewell, Oliver took Elena on a date to uplift her spirits. The initial months proved challenging for Elena as she adjusted to life without her friends, but Oliver remained a constant source of support, always there to cheer her up. He ensured she was never alone.
