The Alpha’s Human Mate

He drove to the hospital so fast as soon as he received the call.

He was so scared when he heard that Ellie was bleeding. At one point, it felt like his heart was going to burst out of his chest with the way it was beating.

He did not bother asking the nurse anything when he got to the hospital; he went straight to the ICU. He saw Shawn at the entrance, and the expression on his face was something that got him even more scared.

“What’s going on, Shawn?!” He screamed at the man, who was just bowing his head in silence.

“Ma, Madam Ellie. She was bleeding a lot.” Before Shawn could finish his words, The door to the ICU opened, and Lincoln, his doctor, came out.

You’re here, Alpha. “Can I talk to you in my office?” Lincoln asked, but Alex was not in the mood to follow him anywhere or be patient.

You better start saying whatever you want to tell me right here, Lincoln. He said with a fierce and intimidating voice.

“Well. She lost a lot of blood due to a drug ingested in her body. And. I’m sorry to tell you that she also lost her baby.” Lincoln stuttered.From NôvelDrama.Org.

He felt like the world had stopped for a minute. The sound he could only hear was the sound of his loud heartbeat. The baby he had planned to name little Ellie, how he planned to live with his daughter and destroy the contract between him and Ellie so that they could all be together. Everything-his dreams-had all come to an end.

Lincoln noticed the awkward silence, and he stuttered. “But… what I’m surprised about is that… The poison belongs to the witches. It can only be found with a witch.”

A witch? Alex asked, to which Lincoln also nodded. He was surprised to hear that it was a witch’s poison. He knew that Ellie only ate dinner at home, and it was her dinner that was poisoned, but he wasn’t expecting a witch’s poison. “All this while. The witch has been living under my nose,” he whispered to himself.

At that point, he couldn’t help but start to think that it was his fault. He had risked her life by trusting a bunch of werewolves he called maids. It was all his fault; he couldn’t even protect her in his own house.

“What about Ellie? Is she okay?” He asked, wondering if she was fine, because he knew he wouldn’t be able to handle it if something had happened to her.

“We should be thankful she got here on time,” Lincoln said.

“Can I see her?” he asked.

Lincoln was surprised to see how the Alpha could be so worried and scared about a human. “You can see her after she has been transferred to the private room.”

He sat down on a chair beside her, watching her sleep quietly. He saw how pale and lean she looked on the bed. “I’m so sorry.” He whispered softly.

He sighed and took her hands in his, kissing them lightly before placing them back on the bed. Suddenly, he stood up and went out of the room. He saw Shawn, who was still standing at the entrance. “If you still want to keep living, make sure no one leaves that house till I come back. Not even a cockroach should leave that house.”

Shawn bowed his head and left the hospital at once. He knew that he and other employees were in trouble, especially the maids.

He went back to the room, sat back down on the chair, and said, “I’ll make sure they all regret it. Whoever did this would wish they were never born.”

The next morning,

She stirred in her sleep due to the rays of sunlight that were shining on her face, but she opened her eyes slowly when she realized that the rays had been blocked by something.

She opened her eyes. She tried to sit up, but she had difficulty because of the pain she was feeling. Alex, who went to close the curtains from disturbing her sleep, quickly ran towards her side and helped her up.

She winced in pain, but Alex helped her up carefully. “Are you okay? How are you feeling?” He asked, touching her forehead and cheeks, to feel her temperature. “Should I get you a doctor?”

He asked, but Ellie did not say a single word. She knew something had happened to her; she couldn’t feel her baby in her tummy again. The only thing she was feeling was pain.

Tears ran down her cheeks. She couldn’t explain why she was feeling so sad. She had always wanted to get rid of the pregnancy so that she could live her life and plan for the future, but now that the baby was gone, she was feeling so down and sad.

She burst out into tears and started crying. “You shouldn’t cry, Ellie. You can finally be free.” She thought, but the tears kept coming.

Alex was also sad, especially seeing her cry. He did not know how to comfort her because he himself needed comfort. He sat on her bed and pulled her into his arms.

After almost an hour of crying and sniffing, she pushed him away and said, “It’s finally over. The baby is gone. Everything that binds us together is finally broken.” She said, cleaning the tears from her face. “You can finally be with your love.”

Alex just kept looking at her. He did not know how to explain everything to her. How could he explain that what binds them together is stronger than what she thinks? How could he tell her she was his only love, and also the Luna?

Ellie noticed that he wouldn’t say anything. She removed the drip from her hand and tried getting out of bed, but the pain she felt in her stomach was too much for her. “You’re not okay yet, Ellie.” Alex said. He tried to get her back on the bed, but Ellie pushed him away.

“Stop! Don’t come near me. I don’t want to ever see you again. The contract is over, Mr. Warren,” Ellie said in tears. At that point, she wished she could control her tears, but they just kept flowing out.

Alex sighed before walking closer to her. “I’m sorry, but you can’t go anywhere.”

Ellie cleaned the tears on her face before asking, “What do you mean by that?! What do you mean I can’t go anywhere?!”

“I need you to calm down. I have to explain some things to you, but you can’t go anywhere.” Alex said, but before he could finish, a slap landed on his face.

Ellie slapped him so hard that she felt her hand hurt. “You liar! I don’t want to listen to any of your lies!” Ellie screamed at him.

Alex, who was still holding his cheeks, stood up from the bed. He sighed and left the room, but not before making sure it was locked on the outside.

Alex! Alex! Open the door! She screamed, but she did not get any answer.
