The Alpha’s Human Mate

“What do you want, mother? Why did you organize an unnecessary party, huh?!” He asked, raising his voice at the woman.

Madeline suddenly removed her mask and turned to him with a smile. “You of all people should know why I’m doing this. The blue moon pack needs a Luna just as it has an alpha.”

“And you think Sophie would make the best Luna? What’s wrong with you? That girl is not even my mate, and you want her as Luna.” He said with irritation. “Whatever you and the elders are planning can never work. That girl is not my mate, nor will she be Luna.” He continued.

“Then can you tell me who your mate is? Not everyone is destined to have a mate, Alex. And you can always mark Sophie as your mate and give the pack a Luna.” Madeline said and sighed before continuing.

“You’ve been in search of your mate for a very long time, but I guess the moon goddess did not entrust you with a mate.” The woman continued. “Sophie is a good girl from a reputable family, and she has every quality of being a Luna.

Alex sighed and ran his hands into his hair. He was frustrated about how to tell the pack that he already had a human mate and that she would be the future Luna. He was about to say something when the door suddenly opened, and Callum barged in.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Even though he was so angry about how he had barged in without knocking, he noticed the worry on his face and asked. “What happened?” Alex looked at him before noticing that someone was at his back. It was Maya.

“Ellie… I can’t find her anywhere.” She stuttered.

She got out of the car and looked at the big building, which was decorated with different beautiful lights. She was not expecting a party that big.

Before they entered, Maya said, “Don’t ever remove your scarf for any reason, and don’t even think of having a conversation with anyone. Ellie wanted to ask her why she said that, but she just kept quiet and nodded her head.

She followed Maya quietly. They took their masks from a man standing at the entrance. “Oh, it’s a mask party,” Ellie said. Maya helped her put her black mask on after she also wore her own. She was surprised at how big and beautiful the inside was. Even the guests were dressed in beautiful suits and gowns with masks on. “They must all be from the upper class,” Ellie guessed.

“Ellie, stay right here. I’ll go do what I want to do and come back right away.” She was about to leave when she suddenly heard, “Miss Warren!”A man called out to her before she could leave.

Maya knew the voice. It was the man who wouldn’t stop disturbing her about marriage. She sighed and turned back to him with a smile.

“Mr Darren! I wasn’t expecting to see you here!” Maya said with a sweet smile. Darren is a handsome man and also an alpha of the Shadow Moon pack. He had been trying to woo Maya for a very long time, but the girl was not even looking towards his side, which was making him more interested in her.

Not that Maya doesn’t like him, but she doesn’t want anything that has to do with love yet. “I had to be here. After all, your mother is the one throwing the party. He said with a smile that Maya had also returned to him.

“May I ask you for a dance?” The man said.

“I’m sorry I have to decline, Mr. Darren; I have something important to do right now.” She said with a bow and took a step forward to leave when she heard it. “Well, I guess I’ll have to ask this young lady behind you then.” Darren said, looking at Ellie, who was just looking at the both of them.

What he said made Maya stop and look at Ellie before looking back at him. “I changed my mind. I’ll have a dance with you.” She said it with a smile, which surprised Darren. He also smiled back at her and took her hand toward the dance floor. Maya was not happy she had to dance when she was supposed to go and take what she came for, but she didn’t want Darren to have a dance with Ellie.

Ellie, who just stood there, was surprised to see Maya act that way. She was already thinking of ways to decline the man, but she was happy when Maya came to her rescue.

She was watching Maya on the dance floor when she looked back and saw a maid carrying some drinks on a tray. She also took a glass of juice and sipped it without knowing that someone was looking at her intently.

“What the hell is she doing here?” Sophie asked herself. She was so angry to see Ellie; he remembered how Alex acted to her the last time because of her. “I’ll make sure I teach her a lesson she’ll never forget.”

Sophie walked up to a man and whispered something into his ears. She pointed at Ellie, and the man gave her a smile.

“Ma’am, are you Ms. Loren?” A maid asked Ellie, who was still sipping her drink.

Yes. Ellie answered.

“Mr. Warren is waiting for you in the garden.” The maid lied.

“Mr Warren? Does she mean Alex? Does he know I’m here?” She asked herself. Cold sweat had started to run out of her forehead. “Are you sure I’m the right person?” Ellie asked the girl.

“Yes, ma’am,” the maid answered.

“Please, can you lead me to the garden?” Ellie asked, rubbing her sweaty hands together.

“Yes, ma’am,” the maid answered, and they both left the party.

“I must say. I’m so happy to finally be having my first dance with you,” Darren said with a smile, but Maya did not say anything; she just kept moving.

“Maybe this will make you consider me,” Darren said. Maya looked up at him and was about to say something when her face suddenly moved to Callum, who was on the other side of the dance floor, staring at her. She suddenly let go of the man and gave him a small bow before walking away.

“What are you doing here?!” Callum asked. He was surprised to see her. At first, he thought he was hallucinating.

“Callum, I can explain. I came because I needed to learn a new spell from Elena.” She explained; she only told Callum about the spell because he was the one that could know without doing anything to her.

He shaked his head. “I can’t believe you, Maya.” “Where is Ms. Loren?” He asked.

“Ellie… well. Ellie is right there.” She said, pointing to where Ellie was standing before, but she didn’t see her.

“What are you talking about?! You brought her here?!’

“Yes. She was so lonely at home. Maybe she went to get a drink.” She said, trying to assure herself.

Where? Callum asked, raising his eyebrows. When he saw how she was shaking in fear, he left her alone and went in search of Ellie.

They both searched for her, but when they didn’t see her, Callum suggested they go and inform Alex.
