HATE FOR MATES AND WEREWOLVES

CHAPTER 3

KIRAZ'S POV

I step out of the shower and pick out my outfit for the day, I decide to go with a purple blazer and white pants, I look at myself in the mirror and smile but quickly grab a comb to use on my hair, then I finish it off by packing it up with a rubber band, I use lip balm and then a little mascara. I literally just stay in the front of my mirror admiring myself, I'm literally obsessed with myself, everyone should be obsessed with themselves honestly, We're all beautiful in our own way, I smile, grab my purple bag and head to the parlour where I left laptop. I sit down on the couch, set my bag down and then put my laptop on lap to start my long chain of virtual meetings. The first one is with one of our partners, I sigh after checking my schedule, it's quite packed this month, but complaining wouldn't change it so I just accept the call for the first meeting of the day.

……………

"Yes, We have a team on ground, they'll conduct a survey on the issue, ask people and get back to me, it'll be resolved soon".

"Are you sure Kira?

"Yes, I know you trust me, so kindly trust in the team I created, they'll identify and effectively solve the problem".

"Very well then, I'll wait patiently".

"Okay, well then, goodbye, the data will be collated and then sent to you soon enough, have a nice day sir, goodbye".

I end the virtual call after a final wave and just groan, I've been so busy with meetings all day, I miss my Honey and Bunny. I sigh and call my assistants Camella and Alexra to know how things are going in the company.

"Camella and Alexra" I wave at both of them as it's a virtual call.

"Good Afternoon Miss Kira"

"Good Afternoon, how is everything?is there anything you're having issues with?"

"Good ma"

"No issues whatsoever"

They both responded simultaneously and I smile remembering when they both first came to work for me, of course it was after a long line of interviews. I remember how scared they were, most especially Alexra because of her background as a werewolf, who willingly came to work for a renowned werewolf hater, she needed the money and honestly thought I wouldn't employ her but I did, I don't like werewolves and mates for a personal reason, she's not the one who offended me so why would I take it out on her? Meanwhile, Camella is a human who knows not of werewolves nor their history.

"Kira, What about you? Where any of the clients difficult and are are you almost done".

Alexra's voice interrupts my daydream, I stop for a bit then respond

"Yeah I am almost done for the day just one more meeting, which is a good thing, because my babies need their spa day". I smile and get lost in thoughts again, this time, it's about "Spa day"

Spa day basically means thorough scrubbing of both Honey and Bunny but mostly the trimming of Honey's claws, that's been delayed enough, I sigh and look at my couch which he has turned into his personal scratching post, he also needs a new scratching post, so I guess that one's on me.

"Kira, Kira, KIRAAA"

"YESSSS, Sorry, I was lost in thought, I'll get my last meeting started now".

I say this and I'm about to end the call when I remember the big contract I'm supposed to get feedback for today.

"Bye Kira"

"Wait, Camella and Alexra, What about the contract?

"What contract?" Camella answers this time with her voice sounding very shaky, that is enough to tell me that they are hiding something from me.

"Don't play dumb with me! we were supposed to get a response today, in the morning, around 10 o'clock, it's already 4pm in the evening, tell me, I'll accept whatever it is".

"Okay Kira, we didn't get the contract". Alexra answers first, no surprise there, she has always been the one to take the initiative to lead, I sigh thinking of reasons but I could not find any.

"Why? Did they at least give us a valid reason? We're the ones with the highest bid and materials, Why did this happen?".

"Kira, the meeting is supposed to start soon" Camella cuts in with a timid voice clearly trying to distract me from this issue.

"Why don't you focus on that for now? we'll get back to this later" Alexra also adds, backing up Camella.

" Who's the boss here?, tell me what their excuse is, now!!"

"There's no actual valid reason why we lost the contract and the company that won wasn't even in the race they just joined three days ago, also...."

Alexra suddenly stopped taking and then glanced at Camella and then at me, I know that signal means it's something Camella cannot know. It must be related to the spiritual world.

"Camella, I need you to step out, get me the report of black corp's textile industry, review it first before sending it to me, I need it for my last meeting".

It was obviously a lie, but a human can not find out about the spiritual world unless there's a valid reason. Then she exits the room, and Alexra continues.

"Kira, the contract went to a company named Thorne corp, and their bid was even lower than ours, the contract only went to them because it's an exchange from one Alpha to another".

"Ha". those words earned a sarcastic chuckle from me.

"So, I lost to someone that wasn't originally in the race and that's also because of the familiarity among those wolf bastards"

"Kira, this is why I wasn't going to tell you until you were done with all of your meetings today".

"Alexra, push back those meetings, set a meeting with XZcorp, I need to say a few words to their CEO, about this 'Thorn' in my side".

"Ma'am, it's actually Thorne, and their own Thorne actually means protection, I checked and also the CEO of XZ corp also said he doesn't want to work with us in that industry anymore but we can still collaborate in other sectors and asked that you kindly don't contact him".

"Okayy, I've heard enough".

I quickly grab my car keys and head for the door of my room when Alexra shouts.

"He also said that even if you go to his company, he's not currently in the country and won't be for a while as he's relocating".

Those words stop me and I let out a loud scream to express my great frustration, my scream brings my babies to the couch where I'm sitting, I just sigh, because it really made me unhappy and quickly hug both of them. This is not the first time I've lost clients because of Alpha's familiarity, my babies snuggle closer to comfort me, they can always tell when I just need and now I desperately need them, this incident is bringing back memories I normally try to suppress, I just hug them tighter and their licking brings me comfort.

"Were you worried, mummy's ok".

I say fighting back my tears, wolves, especially Alphas(Their leaders) have done enough damage to my life and those of others as well, I won't let wolves or even the concept of mates harm me ever again, I grab a wet wipe, I wipe my face, drink some water again, and decide to at least conclude my work for today, there's no point dwelling on spilt milk, but I most definitely won't forget this Thorne corp.

"Alexra, let's get back to it, my meetings, are they still on?".

I just realised how much time I've wasted, that's not very efficient or good, I've already lost one contract, I can't lose another.

"Yes, Kira, I've sent the information on the textile industry that you need for this meeting to you, you can go over it and I asked the client to give you a thirty-minute break which he already agreed to".

Camila just walks in and saves the day, I need time to get my emotions in order and she just gavee that, that's why these two are my perfect assistants, they balance each other out perfectly.

"Thanks, I'll contact you, later".

……………

I move closer to my system and tap accept to begin the virtual call, I see Mr John's face and I'm about to greet him with my best professional smile when my system suddenly goes blank, tf!!!. Great, technology is against me too, I think, reaching for the power button.

Then, it flickers back to life. But it’s not the friendly, balding Mr. John that I'm supposed to have a meeting with, instead, it's, it's, it's,it's a man, an extremely handsome man, he’s sitting in a high-backed leather chair, looking like a king on a throne. His dark hair is a mess of expensive-looking chaos, brushed to the back but it's kind of rough, with some strands falling from the side, it's clearly from his hand constantly touching it, and his shirt, it's the darkest shade of black ever but his eyes, dear Lord, are even more striking, green eyes that remind me of the forest on a rainy day, while I'm in a purple blazer staring or maybe even drooling at this gorgeous man, damn, my breath hitches.

"He looks so nice".

Those words escape my mouth before I could control it. s**t!!!.
