Target Prey

A mate for me?

You personally enjoyed observing this prey in your workplace. He is perfect. Exactly how you might interpret as the most gorgeous human being you ever seen. And he is right there, just a glass door away. You noticed this sudden attraction towards this hew-muhn when your fingers touched. 
It was an accident on the day you were given a promotion. I mean, after all who else could've deserved the editor's place more than you do? Three and a half years of perfect records definitely scored it.
Being the type of person who has too much of socialization got you in trouble by bumping into your future-boss. 
That's when he tried to help you, apart from being flustered and all. You guys actually had some chemistry, or maybe just you.
His fair complexion under the blonde stylish hair of his definitely matched everything in your 'ideal mate'-list. You wanted so bad to be cradled in such manly arm of his. Those beautiful, tough looking broad shoulders. It just makes you want to snuggle your face into his nape and let him do the same. Maybe there should be the place for the marking.
You always thought he smelled smexy, like after shave cologne and probably sweets. He definitely (ought to) smell delicious. You can smell it even from a mile away. 
Well it's all because of the view you're getting across your office that caused you to linger in your daydreams everyday, instead of completing your tasks.
Tomorrow your company is going to celebrate it's 50th anniversary. That can only lead to a party. The kind of party where it gets wild and hot and... An opportunity for something to happen between the both of you.
But then you realized, you're getting your hopes too high. That usually brings you nothing but disappointment. The call ringing from you desk startled you. 
"Yeoboseyo?" You said after clearing your throat. Almost clumsily knock over the entire phone.
"Yeoboseyo. Hwang editor nim. What are you daydreaming about? Is it food again?" You heard him chuckle. Yeap, it's your boss from across the hall. Behind the glass office where you always wanted (fantasize) to... *ehem* 
"Oh? An..aniyo... Baekho sajangnim. I... I.. Erm." You stammered nervously. It wasn't usual seeing someone as social as you getting nervous for a guy who only sees you as a colleague. 
"Ha! I caught you. Hey. Since it's lunch break, want to come and eat with me?" He suddenly offered.
"Eat... You?" You repeated, confirming what you just heard.
"Well yeah dummy. Eat with me. You wanna come?" You felt a smile forming on your face but you resisted it. You know he can see you're expression. Little did he know about the rush of adrenaline in your blood. 
"I don't know Baekho ssi. I still have to arrange some layouts and bunch of other stuff." You pretended to scroll down the page and type some random sentences.
You hear that he hung up when it started to beep. He hung up on you. What? 
You huffed out a breath of anger and disappointment. You were just playing hard to get. Doesn't guys like that? Celine got it right, and now she's engaged.
The door swung open wildly as you were bickering to yourself. It's Baekho, in a blue inner suit that he left few buttons off purposely. As if it was hot in that cosy, expensive, high-class looking cubicle of his. 
"Well, that can wait. Let's go, i'm starved." He tries to encourage you.
"What if i get fired for this?" You played around.
"Oh come on. I'm your boss here. I can just say this is a very important meeting." He rolled his eyes and chuckled.
It doesn't take long for your body to disobey itself as you walked out that door and down the lift together with this guy you call your boss, whom you secretly (obviously) have a crush on.
"Shall it be ramyeon this time?" Baekho asked as though you both done this for quite some times now.
"Yeah! With pork cutlets or maybe cold ramyeon!" You suggested excitedly. 
"That sounds just right." He smiled, revealing that faint crescent shade of his beautiful eyes. 
You both decided to take the public transportation due to the easiness and how cheap it was.
Since it was on the lunch break hour, boy was the subway crowded. The both of you barely managed to find place for standing. So, while he gave you the honor to hold onto the one and only railing beside you. He had his hand to hold on the rail you were leaning on. At first it wasn't so weird at all, it just looked like he was supporting his weight. Suddenly there was a halt that causes it to be really awkward. Another lad of passengers got in and it got more cramped as he had to lean closer as though cradling you. 
It was very exciting, I was intoxicated by the smell that was getting any stronger than it ought to. With a little bit sweaty from the lack of airconditioning in the subway. According to nature, this is the cause to disaster for us werewolves. We can just mark them here in public.  
"Oops." He mumbled.
"This is awkward.." You chuckled to yourself.
"Yah. Don't think too far here. Do you rather me just put my entire weight on you?" He raised an eyebrow and smirked.
"No. No.. No!! Akh." You purred as he did what he said. Damn was he heavy. As much as you liked it, you couldn't help but feel breathless. It's already was stuffy, added to all this. But please, you are a werewolf. Werewolves aren't that weak, You really are just suffocating from the need to just mark him here as your mate.
"Mian." He chuckled, then pulling away and going back to his position.
A little boy must've been looking at us for a long time because he began pointing and told his mom in a very loud voice.
"Eomma! I saw them kissing." He said in such an innocent yet evil tone, the mother immediately took her hand to cover his eyes as she scoffed.
"Kids nowadays, doing public affection as if it's normal. Back in the days, we could get arrested and actually feel humiliated." She glared at us and looked in a judging way. I unknowingly glared back, I bet a few purple veins showed on my face and a low growl which usually causes my eyes to change it's color. 
"Excuse me ma'am." I sent the private threatening brainwaves to the following lady.
The mother immediately led herself and her son away from us to the other end of the train.
"Now that is awkward." Baekho chuckled again, whispering.
"Oh, our stop is coming next." You looked up at the map on the top of the subway. You didn't realize he was looking at you in the eye as you were doing so. He was definitely taller than you, and your choice in wearing a black flats today made it realize how you both match like how you imagined it would be. He definitely will be your mate. And when an alpha she-wolf knows, she will do anything for it to happen.
An instant flow of blood went to your face and when your body wanted you to blush. It was more like raising the temperature and look like a cooked shellfish. Since a she-wolf already has high temperature.
"Woah. Is it hot in here?" He joked again as he looked side ways while you hung your head.
"Yeah it is. Haha." You joined him.
Awkward.
The bell indicating you arrived your stop made the both of you panic from the load of passengers who were blocking you. You, being able to squeeze right through them, had to pull him out. His buff body seemed to be the problem but he was out by then. And you were still laughing.
"What is so funny about that?" He pretended to glare at you.
"Nothing. You have a gorgeous body. No offense." You smiled, a twinkle formed as you did. One of the tricks that might amuse him.
As if the universe wanted the both of you to happen, when you both arrived the desired restaurant. It had a sign which wrote about couples getting 70% discount on the food due to the owner's 10th wedding anniversary.
So the both of you went in without having to say the status of yourselves. It's simply obvious that you both looked suitable as couples.
"So, we also have a special menu for couples. Please do check it out." Said a waitress who seemed to be told what to say, with that emotionless creepy smile on her face as she talked like a robot.
Needless to say, the both of you ended up with a big combo plate which consists of several appetizers, dipping sauces and a meal itself.
They even gave a bottle of champagne along with the set.
"Well this is pretty good." Baekho smile at himself.
"Yeah." You nodded. How can you stop yourself from a big appetite. You had experiences in eating rather messily. For this time, maybe you should settle yourself.
The first bite wasn't that bad, chewing slowly was rather agonizing but it gave a good outcome. 
Baekho however was eating like a monster. Well for a man his size, it was forgiving. 
"You lost your appetite?" He asked, noticing how slowly and carefully you're eating.
'D'oh, don't all girls you date eat like this?' You managed to say that in your mind.
"Nah. Just felt like eating this way. You seem to have a bigger appetite." You smiled as you slipped in a joke.
"Hey. Don't judge me okay. It's food." He rolled his eyes.
You just end up chuckling as you sip on your coke. Champagne isn't really that necessary for such an occasion. 
Baekho just decided to sneak it away. Since it is included in the bill.
The lunch ended really well and you both decided to just walk back to the office. 
You took more rest stops than needed but still reach the office in 20 minutes.
Taking the lift, the same crampy situation take place again. So you both huddled at the corner as people kept filling in the small space. 
As though things couldn't get more worse, we bumped into Krystal. 
Krystal has a thing with Baekho and their marriage was arranged back when they were 7. She shot me a glare and looks like she was about to kill me.
"I was looking all over for you. I need that document ASAP." She said casually but then changed when she started talking to Baekho, "oh oppa? I didn't see you there.. Eomma is looking all over for you. We're having  dinner together tonight."
"I'm pretty busy today. I have an appointment that needs presentation." Baekho sounded rather cool, unlike earlier which was quite playful.
"Too bad... I actually thought I could show you that designer wedding dress your mom and I got." Krystal used a pity look but smirked at my presence.
"Oh. I'll hand you the document myself krystal ssi." You excused yourself as the lift opened. It wasn't your floor but you couldn't help but just get out. 
Taking the stairs back to your floor, you leaned your weight on the door to open it. 
You haven't even finish half of your work and you know Krystal will start calling or sending threats through mind. 
Being an alpha she-wolf, you have the power to read female minds. They were useful for you to start becoming more hew-muhn. 
She-wolves usually never get themselves into much trouble about picking mates. They can already sense it pretty much and they wouldn't bother to get fussy about it. That is why hew-muhn nature was hard to process for us she-wolves who chose to leave the pack due to time modernization and find a mate to continue the generation. 
Just as I predicted, Krystal followed Baekho into his office. It was hard not to notice since she looked as though it was meant on purpose for me to realize it. My prey didn't look so pleased with her presence shown by a frustrated frown. She stopped to flash a satisfied smirk as our eyes met. I guess it was that intense but how can I control it. Another one of his species was there in the same room, when a she-wolf has her furry sophisticated grip on a possible mate she can get rather possessive at least not in an obsessive hew-muhn females tend to be.
I felt the urge to look away after knowing what Krystal was trying to do. Something that will surely be enough to drive me mad and sleepless. 
My eyes reverted back to reality as I tried to type my emotions away into work. It didn't look as simple as it seemed in my mind. My eyes were itching for confirmation, a need to confirm that my possible mate is untouched.
