The Alpha’s Human Mate

“You better have a good reason for disturbing me this late.” Alex said as soon as he entered the training room. He saw Callum giving orders to some of the men.

“I’m sorry for calling you so late,” Callum said. He wondered why he was so angry when he was the one who told him to call if anything happened.

“Did you catch him?” Alex did not waste time; he went straight to the point.

Callum sighed, before replying. “No. He escaped.”

“Then why did you call me?” He asked; he was still angry that he disrupted his make-out session with Ellie. At that point, he wished he had switched off his phone before going home.

“I got some new information. I was told by the guy that there are only two seconds-in-command who know who their leader is. And those two have a scorpion tattoo on their wrists.” Callum explained.

“A scorpion tattoo?” Alex asked before sitting down in the nearest chair. It rang a bell in his head, but he couldn’t explain why. He looked at Callum for some minutes, as if he were in deep thought, before snapping his right finger.

“Kyle,” he said.

“Who is Kyle?” Callum asked.

“I’m an investor in his start-up company, and I saw a tattoo on his wrist… But he’s not a werewolf. He’s human.” Alex said, still in thought. He did not suspect anything when he saw the tattoo on him, but the more he thought about it, the more he found the tattoo weird.

“Let’s go. We need to look for him.” Alex stood up and said.

“It’s midnight, Alex. We won’t be able to do anything now.” Callum replied.

“The earlier, the better. We can go to his house and catch him there. If he finds out we are on to him, then that’s the end,” Alex said before walking out of the room.

She did not bother eating breakfast. She was thankful that Alex was not at home. The only thing needed was how to go out without Shawn following her. She wished it was Monday. She would have gone during working hours, but she couldn’t wait till Monday before going again. She needed to end everything and get her life back to normal.

She went downstairs to ask Shawn to take her to her friend’s house. Shawn had no choice but to take her there because there was no rule that said she couldn’t go out, but he must just stay with her as her bodyguard. “Let’s go. I’m going to my friend’s house.” She said to Shawn before entering the car.

The car drove for about half an hour before stopping in front of Jasmine’s house. She got out of the car and told Shawn he could go home because she didn’t think she would be coming home that night.

“I’m sorry, ma’am, but Mr. Warren has to give orders.” Shawn said, before taking out his phone to call Alex. He did not want to go through Alex’s wrath again.

Ellie was already getting worried that Alex would order Shawn to take her back home, but she was thankful when Alex’s number didn’t go through. I’ll call him myself to explain it to him. “I’m just spending the night here with my friend; no big deal.”

Shawn was a bit skeptical; he thought maybe it was another scheme of hers to leave the house. He called Alex’s number again, but it was still not going through.

Ellie did not bother saying anything to him again. She just left him alone and went towards Jasmine’s door.

She knocked on the door. “Ellie! What are you doing here?!” Jasmine asked in surprise.

“Is that what you’ll ask me first?” Ellie asked back with a smile. I’m so sorry. Please come inside. Jasmine said this before noticing the man standing outside beside the bar. “Who is he?”

“Let’s just go in. Leave him.” Ellie said this before pushing her friend into the house.

“How have you been? I tried coming to that house, but I was scared of Mr. Warren.” Jasmine dragged her to the chair and said.

Ellie stood up and said, “I’m fine Jas. But I need to be somewhere right now. And I’m running late.” She went to Jasmine’s place because it was the only excuse she could think of.

“Where are you going? And why are you in a hurry?” Jasmine stood up and asked Ellie, who was pacing around the room and checking the windows. “Are you running from someone? Wait! Did you steal from Mr. Warren?!” Jasmine asked in fear. She had been scared of Alex ever since their first meeting.

“What? No, I didn’t. I just need to go somewhere; I’ll explain everything later.” She said, still looking out the window. She waited until Shawn finally left the house.

Shawn tried Alex’s number, but when he did not pick it up, he decided to go back home.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

She waited for about an hour to make sure the man was not hiding somewhere nearby. “Hello Maya. I’m ready.” She called Maya, and about an hour later, a car stopped in front of Jasmine’s house to pick Ellie up.

The car stopped in the middle of the road that leads to the dark forest. “I’ve been waiting for you,” Maya said, as soon as she helped her open the car door.

“I’m sorry. I had to leave the house without Alex knowing.” She replied, and I followed her into the forest. The sun was still shining; she just hoped they would be done before it got dark. They walked in the forest for some time until they got to the front of the barrier. “I hope this goes well.” Maya sighed.

“We’re going with our normal selves.” Maya said this before taking out a book from her bag. She started saying some spells, and about a few minutes later. The barrier opened.

“Let’s go in.” She grabbed Ellie, who was still in shock due to fear, and pulled her in before the barrier closed.
