The Alpha’s Human Mate

He was working on his laptop when Callum knocked and entered the office.

“I wasn’t expecting to meet you here. I was hoping you would be getting ready for the ceremony.” Callum teased with a smile.

Alex was not bothered by his joke; without looking at him, he said, “Why are you here?”

“Ok. The person working with Gregory is a woman. And she’s a witch.”

“What do you mean by a witch?” Alex asked, looking up at him.

“She disappeared as soon as I pulled off her cloak.” He explained and put the cloak on his table.

“There’s no scent on it.” Alex said, examining the cloak.

“Which could possibly be done by a witch,” Callum added.

Alex stood up and walked to the glass window in the room. “A witch? How can a witch try to hurt? Wait. Elena,” Alex said before turning back to Callum. “She’s the only witch allowed in the Supreme; maybe she’s working with my mother.”

“Yes, maybe. But the night of the party, no one knew who Ellie was,” Callum said.

“What if she knew her? She’s a witch, Callum. She casts spells and sees visions.” Alex said, looking at Callum before taking his eyes off him. I don’t for once like that witch, not to talk about trusting her.

“Keep an eye on her,” Alex said before sitting back in his chair.

“OK,” Callum replied

Everywhere became quiet, until Callum asked after some time. “What about Ms Loren? Is she not working again?” He asked because of Ellie’s empty seat.

“We haven’t really had any normal conversation ever since she found out,” Alex said.

She woke up late in the morning. “I can’t believe how much I’ve slept.” Ellie said to herself.

Her mind suddenly drifted to how Alex’s eyes had changed color again. “I’m definitely sure he’s not sick.”

“Should I call Maya over? I mean, she might know the reason why his eyes changed.” She thought. Even if he’s a werewolf, does that make his eyes keep changing anyway? She said to herself,

After a lot of thinking, she took her phone and dialed Maya’s number. She dialed the number twice before Maya finally picked it up.

Hey! Ellie said, but she didn’t hear any reply. “Hello! Maya, are you there?”

Ellie heard her sigh before she finally talked. “I never for once thought you would call me.”

“Can you come over? I want to talk to you.” Ellie said, and after some time, Maya finally agreed.

Ellie waited for Maya in the living room for about an hour until she fell asleep. She only woke up when someone was calling her name. Ellie! Hey! Wake up. Did you call me just so I could watch you sleep?

“Hey! You’re here.” Ellie said. She sat up on the couch and rubbed her eyes before looking at Maya, who was just staring at her.

“What are you looking at?” Ellie asked calmly, getting a bit nervous because of how she was looking at her.

“You must have gotten even more confident lately, huh? You didn’t even think twice before calling a wolf to come to you.” Maya said it with a sneer.

At that point, Ellie knew she had made a big mistake. “Isn’t her brother also a wolf?” She thought. She looked away from Maya and rubbed her sweaty hands nervously.

Maya wished she could hear her thoughts, but it was only her brother that could do that, or a pure white wolf. She suddenly burst into laughter. “Oh my! I can’t believe you’re still as scared as always.” Maya said, still laughing.

Ellie was a bit confused, but she managed to give a small smile. “I was only pulling your legs. “You shouldn’t be scared of anyone, do you understand?” She asked with a serious expression.

“Hmm.” That was the only thing Ellie could say. After some silence, Ellie looked at her and said with a small smile. “I still can’t believe werewolves exist; it’s a hard thing to believe.”

Maya sensed that she was still a bit uncomfortable, but she understood what she must be going through. She chuckled and said, “To be honest, I wasn’t expecting this kind of reaction. I was thinking you would leave the house immediately you found out.”

She sighed before continuing. “I didn’t get the chance to apologize to you. It’s all my fault; you found out about it that way. My brother was looking for the perfect opportunity to tell you, but I messed it up and got you scared.” She said it with a tone that showed how sad she was feeling.

“And what if the outcome was worse than this?” Ellie said. “Finding out about it that way doesn’t change anything.” And also, I didn’t call you here, so we could talk about the sad part. Ellie said it with a smile.

“I called you here because of Alex.”

“What about him?” Maya asked.

“I don’t know what’s going on with him. His eyeballs changed color, I think, like a pale yellow. The first time it changed, I didn’t really think about it; I thought he was just sick, not until the second time.” She explained with a worried expression, only to find Maya laughing at her words.

Ellie was confused to see her laughing at her words. “He’s not sick, Ellie.” She said it with a laugh.

“Haven’t you watched any movies about werewolves? I mean, humans make werewolf movies, right?” Even though not everything is real, Maya asked.

Alex is the alpha of the Bluemoon Pack, the biggest and strongest pack in the werewolf world. And his eyes changed; it was just his wolf form. He’s just trying to say hello to you.

“You mean that his eyes are changing because of his wolf form?”

“Yes, but he’s not completely changed,” Maya said.

“Wait. Does it mean that his wolf was trying to eat me when he was angry?” Ellie asked with fear.

“I never said anything like that, Ellie.” Maya said it with a chuckle and found it funny how the girl was twisting her words. “Was he angry when his eyes changed?” Maya asked.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Yeah. He was angry because I went out with my friend.” She said.

“Your friend. Is it a man or a woman?” Maya asked with curiosity.

“A man. Why? Is there something wrong?”

“No, there’s nothing,” Maya said with a smile.

Maya explained some things to her about the wolves and their mates and about Sophie being the next trained Luna despite Alex having his own fated mate, but Maya did not tell her about her being the fated mate and the next rightful Luna.

“Sophie is going to be his Luna?” Ellie asked with a low voice. She did not understand why she was feeling sad about what she had heard. “So he has two women in his life,” she thought.

“I didn’t say that; don’t get me wrong. Sophie can only be Luna if Alex is ready to reject his mate.” Maya said, staring at the girl intently to sense her emotion.

“Then who is his fated mate?” Ellie asked, but before Maya could reply, Alex entered the house.

“What are you doing here?” Alex asked.

Brother I..

Leave! Alex said, raising his voice. Maya also took her bag and walked out without saying anything.

Alex wait. I invited her. What do you think you’re doing? Ellie said She tried to stop Maya, but Maya did not wait.

“What do you think you’re doing? She’s your sister.” Ellie shouted, but Alex did not say anything. “You stopped me from seeing my friend, and now you’re stopping me from seeing Maya, despite her being a woman and your sister. I just can’t believe you.” She said this before leaving his presence.

Alex just watched her in silence. He did not want her to have anything to do with Maya because of his mother. He thought his mother must have been trying to use Maya to get to Ellie. He sighed and sat on the couch.
