His Mate [COMPLETE]

Chapter 2 - Mine

I woke up to my alarm blaring at 5:00 PM. My sleep schedule was complete shit because of work. I hopped out of bed to get ready. This afternoon I was working as a waitress, and at 8:30 it was back to the bar.

I pulled my hair up into a messy bun, my blonde waves slightly flowing out. I put on some mascara and some chapstick, my usual makeup.

When I got to work, Casper greeted me with a notepad and a pen.

"You're taking care of the business section today. Go be professional and polite, and don't interrupt them." he ordered me.

"I'm always professional and polite." I winked.

"Quincy, I'm not fucking around." he barked.

"Jeez, okay." I said, grabbing the notepad from him.

I greeted a group of 8 men, all dressed sharply in suits and ties. I recognized Alex right away, the drunk Beta from last night. I avoided eye contact, wondering if he even remembered me.

"Table for 9, please. We're still waiting for one more." He said politely.

I showed them to their table and got them waters.

"Where the hell is Dylan?" one of them muttered when I walked away.

"I need 5 steaks and 3 chicken parmesans." I told the chef, walking behind the counter.

I wasn't really supposed to be there but I didn't want to see Casper, and I didn't have any tables that needed anything.

I washed my hands to look busy, adding extra soap and rubbing the soft foam under my fingernails.

All of a sudden I felt a pull, like a force drawing me back outside the kitchen. I ignored it and dried my hands with a towel.

Casper started walking in the kitchen, so I filled up a water and headed back out.

"Quincy!" he shouted. I rolled my eyes and turned around to see what he wanted.

"I trust that everything is going well out there? An extremely important guest just arrived. Everything has to be perfect. Am I clear?" he asked, glaring at me.

"Crystal." I said, turning around and walking off.

When I approached the table I was serving, there was a new man sitting at the head.

He had light brown hair, and beautiful blue-green eyes. His jawline was prominent and his eyebrows were thick and well-groomed. He looked tall, and his muscles could be clearly seen through his suit. I marveled at him, he was the most attractive man I'd ever seen.

I walked towards him and set the water down in front of him. He glanced at me, then back at his menu, and then quickly back at me like there was something he missed the first time.

His eyes met mine and he looked surprised. He stood up quickly and grabbed my waist, pulling me closer to him.

"Mine." he growled.

I stared in shock. He was much bigger and taller than me, and his grip was tight, as if he was worried someone was going to try to pull me away from him.

"Alpha?" one of his colleagues asked.

"She's human." another one informed him.

He looked me up and down and a smirk formed on his face.

"So, she is..." he said, grinning and exploring my back with his hand.

He looked back at the men sitting at the table.
