The Alpha's Mate

Puff Humans

Terrick is known in the human world as Thee Terrick Clarkson. The business tycoon who is ruthless, arrogant and mean when things don't go his way. His PA Annex is the gentle one who always smile and looks calm. He apologizes when Terrick does something inappropriate.

Terrick acts like this because of his hatred for humans. He believes that humans are weak creatures who can't do on their own. He believes that without them helping in the shadows, the human race would have been extinct a long time ago.

"Puff humans, such stupid creatures. I wonder why Selene created them.They are just liabilities" Terrick said sipping his tea. "They are so boring" he continues. "Scared of little things which one should not be scared of"

"Its in their nature Terrick" Annex said "They are not like us. We are vicious and wild while they are" he takes a break thinking of the appropriate word to say. "They are..well what you call them" he said not finding the appropriate words to say.

"You have a meeting with the board members, hope you remember" Annex said checking his watch and notices that they are late.

"Whatever, it's not like those old folks will complain if I am late" Terrick said in a matter of fact tone.

"To be honest you are way older than they are. You are one hundred and sixty eight years old"

"Yeah I am, but they see me as a twenty eight years old man who succeeded in life way too easy and early" Terrick said standing up and walking to the door to go to the meeting room.

In the board room, everyone just stared at Terrick without saying anything. They are really scared of him and are afraid of saying the wrong thing. To be honest they only joined this company because it is promising and it yield a lot of income. Even the workers here are here because of the salary they receive. Who wants to work for a man who has never smiled before. At least not in front of anybody they know.

"So gentlemen are you going to talk or should we stay here staring at each other" Terrick ask with his serious face. No body answer him.

"Am I too intimidating? Okay let me close my eyes so you guys can talk" he said closing his eyes

(Of course they are intimidated by you. You make them feel scared) Annex said through mind link

(I don't even know why they are scared of me. You see what i said earlier? Humans are stupid. Why are they scared of me?)

(You can't talk like that. Even the people in our pack are scared of you. In fact every single creature in our world is scared of you) Annex said in a matter of fact tone.

(They are scared of me because I am the supreme alpha. If I was just a wolf with no title they wouldn't be scared of me) Terrick defended and disconnected the mind link between him and Annex.

After waiting for the board members for sometime but they didn't say anything and just bow their heads down like chickens who are about to be killed, Terrick woke up and left the room. That's before saying "talk to my PA if you find me too intimidating. I have better things to do rather than sitting here and doing nothing while you guys act like dogs with their tails in between their legs.

"Gentlemen am sorry for what he said. You know him, he is short tempered" Annex said like always apologizing for Terrick's rude behavior."so let's talk. Why did you request for a board meeting"

Seeing as the arrogant Terrick is no more, the board members started talking. "We wanted to ask that what should be done now that we have another competitor. We know that Terrick is capable but it's better safe than sorry right. " Mr Francis Stone said for everyone in the room.

"Well gentlemen that's not a problem. Terrick already knows about this and has a plan to make sure that our stocks don't go down and to make sure that we don't lose clients".

They talk for sometime about some other things before the meeting was over........

After finishing up with the meeting, Annex went back to Terrick's office. He told him what they said and what their worriers were.

"they want to know how you plan to handle this new competitor" said Annex unveiling what they said to Terrick.

"I don't see the need of sharing what I have in mind with them. I'll just do what I have to do and they can thank me later when this competition is no more". Annex looked at him as if he is joking. As in who takes action without informing the BODS of his company?

"Terrick they are your BODS, its their right to know your plans and how you run the company". Annex said reprimanding him, his voice went high a little. Forgetting the fact that he is talking to his alpha.

Terrick raised his brows looking at Annex as if reminding him that he is talking to his alpha.

"Am sorry alpha I didn't mean to raise my voice, I just got carried away" Annex said apologizing while bowing his head down and showing his neck as a sigh of respect and submissiveness. "Hmmm" Terrick hum nodding his head accepting his apology.

Actually to be honest, Terrick will do nothing to Annex if he disrespects him. Forget the fact that he is his alpha and Annex is his beta. They are childhood friends and best friends. They know each other very well. Their relationship with each other go way back to the forth generation. Their great grand fathers were friends, their grand fathers were friends as well and even their fathers were friends. And they all died together trying to protect their people from danger and that's why they are all legends in the eyes of the supernatural world.

Annex knows this fact, but he just want to show him respect as the supreme alpha. I mean if he doesn't show him respect as his beta then how will Terrick's subjects respect him?

"Okay then let's do something about the competitor. You can go tell those chicken heart BODs what we discuss." Said Terrick to Annex who just nods his head.

"We will get rid of the wrong customers. There's no point in doing business with the wrong customers who will no help to lift up the company.. Will offer our customers something that our competition can't offer.. The company is a new company and it has less revenue than us. Why don't we adjust our pricing?" Ask Terrick.

"And if that doesn't work in bringing them down?" Ask Annex.

"If that doesn't work then we find a new target audience, we can release a new product or service. We could step up customer service. Create a new loyalty or reward program. We can equally experiment with new marketing campaign"

"That sounds good" said Annex approvingly to Terrick's suggestions.

"How I wish they weren't humans. I would have snap their necks for going up against me" Terrick said with a dangerous smile on his lips. Annex just shook his head. His alpha is just so vicious.

"You can go and tell them what my plan is and let them choose what they want to do. Since as their opinions count" Terrick said the last part with a little sarcasm in his voice.

Annex just shook his head and left the office to go inform the Board members of Terrick's plan..........
