The Alpha’s Human Mate

For the first practice, we will be checking how far you can hear. So I just need you to relax and try to tell me each sound that comes to you. Maya said before setting up the clock. “Now tell me the sounds you can hear apart from this clock.”

She was sitting so close to the clock, but she couldn’t hear anything other than the loud clock. “I can hear a thing, Maya.”

“Just shut up and focus, Ellie.” She said, but Ellie just looked at her before looking away. “I wonder if she acts like that to her crush.” She muttered to herself, but Maya heard her loud and clear.

“What crush?” Maya asked, wondering what she was talking about.

“That guy that came yesterday. Isn’t he also the one you danced with at that masked party we sneaked out for?” Maya was just looking at her. She couldn’t believe Ellie still remembered the lie she had told about her dream of dancing with my crush. “He’s actually cute,” Ellie said.

Maya could only sigh before answering. “He’s not my crush.” But Ellie didn’t look like she was about to give up. “How can you say that? You two look so good together. And I’m sure you also like him.”

“OK, that’s enough. Are you here to talk about crushes or to train? I told you I don’t like him. He’s not my crush.” She said, raising her voice, but Ellie was just staring at her. “She surely likes him.” She said to herself with a smile, which didn’t go unnoticed by Maya.

“Let’s just continue.” Maya said before taking a deep breath. She had been trying to get him out of her mind since yesterday, and when she finally became successful, Ellie dragged him back.

“Take a deep breath. Try not to let anything distract you. Only focus on the environment.” She said this before setting up the clock again. Ellie also took a deep breath before closing her eyes. After some seconds, she felt a sudden breeze blow towards her, and the sound of the clock suddenly became louder. She was still trying to get more sounds when another sound started coming to her. “Footsteps. I can hear footsteps.”

“OK. Keep going,” Maya said.

She was having difficulty hearing further. She looked so uncomfortable as she was trying to hear a sound that wasn’t so clear.

I think you should… Maya was about to tell her to stop when she heard “a dripping faucet. Water is dripping from a faucet.” She said, trying to make the sound of the water by tapping her finger on the table continuously. She kept tapping it until Maya smiled and said, “That’s enough. Well done.” That was exactly what she wanted her to hear. She had told the maids in the morning to leave water dripping from the tap that wasn’t so far from the field.

“I didn’t expect you to catch up easily, but nice. Now for the next practice. You’ll read my mind, meaning you hear my thoughts.

“Wow. Werewolves can do that.”

“Yes.”

“Does it mean you can read mine?” Ellie asked.

“No. Strangely, I can’t again, because of the white wolf blood in you. Only your mate can do that, but you can actually hear mine even if I try to block you from hearing.”

“Wow. Let’s do it.” Ellie said with happiness. Hearing her thoughts was so surprising and exciting to her. “This is a bit different from the one you’ve tried. This time around, you focus on the person instead of the environment. It’s just like you trying to hear the heartbeat, but instead forcing your way into the mind.” Maya explained before she finally asked. “Are you ready?”

“Yes.” She replied before looking at Maya to focus on her and read her mind, but nothing was coming to her. She couldn’t even hear her heartbeat. “Try again.” Maya said, but after various attempts, she still couldn’t read her mind.

Maya finally told her practice was over when she saw that it was already time for lunch and that they would continue the next day.

She was already going back into the house, sad that she couldn’t get the last part of her practice. She walked into the house and hadn’t taken two steps when she suddenly bumped into a maid at the entrance. “I’m sorry, Luna. Please forgive me.” The lady begged on her knees, to which Ellie just smiled. “Please stand up. It’s fine.”

The lady also stood up, but instead of walking away, she kept looking down in fear. Ellie also noticed that she was looking worried and scared. “Are you okay?” She asked, but the lady just nodded before moving out of her sight.

Ellie also looked at her again before moving to go up the stairs, but stopped in her tracks when she heard, “Should I tell her? No. I don’t know what she’ll do to me.” She suddenly turned back and looked at the lady. The lady also looked at her before moving to walk away, but Ellie said, “Wait. Did you just say something?”

She asked, but the lady did not say anything. “Oh my goodness! I’ve forgotten she’s a white wolf.” The voice said to her again, and right then she knew it was the lady. Even though she didn’t move her mouth, she knew she must have heard her thoughts, but that was not the time to be happy. “What do you want to tell me? And why are you so scared?” She asked, but the lady still did not say anything.

She sighed before talking again. “Just say something. I can easily hear your thoughts. And I know you want to tell me something. So please start talking now before I lose my temper.” She knew that a little bit of threat would work to get word out of her.

Ellie saw how the lady looked around before talking. “I’m sorry. I just wanted to talk about the moon crystal pack.”

She was surprised to hear what she said. “Moon crystal pack? What do you know about them?”

“No one knows where they are again.” She spoke slowly, but Ellie looked like she was in a hurry. “What do you mean by that?”

“After Lady Aurora died, a group of werewolves attacked the pack and killed everyone, including the Alpha.”

“They killed everyone. Who are those people?”

“No one knows. They were dressed in all black, and they covered their faces. It was a long time ago, and no one seemed to know who they were.” The lady said that, but Ellie was just looking lost. “I don’t know who they are, but I’m suspecting Lady Aurora’s stalker.”

“Stalker? She had a stalker.”

Yes. A man once sent her letters and gifts every time, telling her he would marry her, but no one knew who he was. Even Lady Aurora didn’t know who he was until she eloped with a human. She heard the lady say it, but different thoughts were running through her mind. “The human was her father. And the man who killed them… must be the stalker.” She thought. She could still remember what the man said. The more she thinks about it, the more she feels that he was actually a stalker.

“And how did you know all this?” Ellie asked, but she only heard her sigh before answering. “I am a witch, and I was one of Lady Aurora’s maids before she passed away.” The lady said, but Ellie was just looking at her as if she were lying, and the lady knew why.

“I disguised myself as a young lady just to get into this house. The person who killed your mother is still out there, and he must not know that someone like me is still alive; that is why I have to be in disguise.” The lady said this before holding Ellie’s hand. “You must be safe. You are the only one who can stop this person. There are still some Moon Crystal Pack members living in hiding. We all trust you.” She said before disappearing.

Hey, wait! Ellie just stood there in shock. “How can this person be so wicked? What exactly does he want?” She asked with tears forming in her eyes, but she quickly wiped them off. “I know what to do.”

She quickly went home after work to prepare for her date. She was unexpectedly happy. She just kept smiling as she went through her wardrobe. Even her mom was surprised to see her that way. “Are you going out on a date?” She asked, to which she also replied with a meek smile. “Yes.”

“Who is it? Is it that guy? What’s his name?” Her mother also asked happily, but Christina just shakes her head. “Mom, I need to prepare now. You’re distracting me.”

OK. Just tell me his name.

“Callum. His name is Callum Stewart.” She replied. “I thought you said he was your boss. It looks like my daughter is in love.” Her mother teased.

“Mom. It’s just a date.” She said, but no matter what she said, her mother kept teasing her till she got dressed and finally heard the doorbell. “Oh my goodness! He’s here. Where are my heels?” She screamed as she kept disarranging the room.

“Calm down. It’s not like you’re getting married. Your heels are over there. Hurry up. I’ll go open the door.” Her mother said this before walking out of the room. She was happy that her daughter was finally planning on dating someone for the first time, but she didn’t know she once had a boyfriend.

Callum was still standing by the door when the door suddenly opened. “Good evening, ma.” He greeted her when the woman also answered. “Good evening.”

Not knowing what to say next to the woman, he stretched the flowers in his hands toward her. “Flowers.” The woman just smiled. “Give the flowers to the person you brought them for. Please come in.”

Callum also smiled lightly before entering. As soon as he entered, he saw her. She was dressed in a beautiful strapped red gown that had a slit up to the knees. He was just looking at her, short of words, until he heard her mother clear her throat.

“I’m sorry. It’s just that you’re so beautiful.” He said, holding out the flowers to her. Christina also smiled before replying. “Thank you. We should get going now.

Callum also nodded, but he suddenly remembered something. He turned to the woman. “I’m sorry I didn’t introduce myself. My name is Callum. He hadn’t finished talking when the woman said, “Leave it for next time. You should get going now.”

He nodded again before he walked her out of the house to his car.
