The Alpha’s Human Mate

The next morning, she woke up early to do her normal daily activities, but she became worried when Alex said he was missing her, and he didn’t think he would go to work.

“No. You should go to work. Who will attend your meetings and do all your work?” She asked, hoping he would just change his mind. She was trying her best not to look worried or sad.

“Jeffrey can just do it. Let me stay at home with you today.” He said, hugging her tightly, but Ellie was still trying to change his mind. She kept pushing him away. “No, Alex. You should go. I also have practice. In fact, I should get going now.” She quickly stood up from the bed to leave, but she just heard him sigh.

“Here I was, thinking you missed me. It’s fine. I’ll go to work.” He said with a sad face, hoping that she would change her mind, but strangely, his wife didn’t budge. Having no choice, he finally dressed up and went to work.

She quickly went to look for Maya after Alex had gone, but she hadn’t reached the field when she saw her. “You came late,” Maya said.

“I’m sorry. Alex didn’t want to go to work.” She said this while Maya’s eyebrows were raised. “Hope he didn’t suspect anything.”

“No, he didn’t. But do you think we can find a witch here that could help us instead of going to the dark forest?” Ellie said, looking worried, while Maya just looked at her and sighed. “You don’t trust them?” She asked, to which Ellie also nodded.

“I understand. But I assure you, Ellie. In this case, it’s more helpful to trust those cunning dark witches than to trust the white ones here.” Maya was the type that doesn’t trust people, but for the first time in her life, she trusted the dark witches, maybe because she knew that a white witch had been tampering with the barrier. If not, how come Sophie escaped the dark forest from little, and how come the poison made by the dark witches was found among the rogues that almost killed her brother? Right then, she also became interested in finding out who the evil person was.

They both walked to where Maya’s car was. “You know how to drive, right?” Maya asked Ellie, to which she also nodded. She turned to her and the driver. “Give the key to her.”

“Miss Maya. I’ll take you wherever you’re going.” The driver said. She was surprised that she was going out without him. She knew that Maya didn’t know how to drive, and he had always been the one driving her for a very long time. “Do what I asked you to do now,” Maya commanded. She knew better than to tell the man to drive them to the dark forest, because her brother would surely know.

The man also nodded before giving the key to Ellie. They both entered the car and drove out of the building. Ellie drove for some time before finally stopping in front of the familiar forest. They both got out of the car and walked towards the narrow part until they finally got to the front of two tall trees opposite each other.

Maya casted some spells, and they both walked through the barrier as their usual selves. They walked until they finally got into their town. As soon as they entered the market, she saw different eyes staring at them.

“They’re back again? Do they think they can just come in here anyhow they want?” Ellie heard as those witches grumbled in anger. She ignored their stares and grumbles and kept walking side by side with Maya until they left the market and walked for some time till they got to Agnes’s hut.

The surroundings were so quiet. Only the sound of the moving trees and birds could be heard. The hut looked so small and old in the middle of the forest. They walked until they got to the front door. Maya was about to knock before the door suddenly opened.

“You’re here again. I thought you would never come back.” They heard a voice say as they entered. As usual, the room was dark, and only a little light from the candle made it easy to see some things. They went towards her and sat on the chairs in front of her, more like she had been waiting for them.

Agnes kept looking at them until she said, “I knew you were special. Who would have thought you were Aurora’s daughter?”

“Do you know my mother?” Ellie asked.

“Who wouldn’t know her? The only one destined for a white wolf. Fearless and strong, until a tragedy struck.” Agnes said, shaking her head in pity. “Do you know who did it?” Ellie asked, but this time around, Agnes raised her head. “I’m in the dark, like everyone. No one knows who did it, girl.”

“That’s why we came here today. We think that the head of the rogues may also be the one that killed Ellie’s mom.” Maya said, explaining everything to Agnes and how they wanted her to check into Sam’s memory.

“That’s really difficult. Since it’s not your memory, and the fact that the guy is dead,” Agnes said, before sighing at the sight of Ellie’s sulleness. “But we can always try. What is this guy’s name?”

“Sam Maddox,” Ellie replied, while Agnes also nodded before standing up.

He got out of his car and was about to walk into the house when he heard a familiar voice shouting his name. Without looking back, he sighed. “I’m a werewolf, Callum. Of course, I can hear you. You don’t have to scream my name out.” Alex said, while Callum, with the guy beside him, could only smile.

“What are you both doing here?” Alex asked, to which Callum replied. “You didn’t sign the document before leaving the office. I thought you would sign it.” He was surprised that he left the office early. But Alex, who had been missing his wife since he left for work, couldn’t stop himself from abandoning everything and going back home.

“Just take it back. I’ll do it tomorrow.” Alex replied with a tired voice, but Callum refused, telling him he had to sign it that day. Alex just sighed before looking at Darren, who was standing behind him. “And what are you also doing here?”

Callum also looked back to hear his reply. He saw him at the entrance, and he didn’t even bother to ask him anything until the both of them saw Alex. “Well. I came to do some things around the supreme, so I just thought of saying hi to you before going back.” Darren said, smiling at Alex, who was just staring at him weirdly. “You came here just to say hi to me?” He asked, lost.

“Yes.” Darren replied with that same smile, but Alex and Callum did not say anything. They just walked into the house with Darren behind them.

They all entered the house, but Alex felt something was strange. Mr Arnold. He called out to the butler, who was busy in the kitchen. “Where is my wife?”

“I haven’t seen Madame Ellie since she ate breakfast in the morning.” Mr. Arnold replied, but Alex just nodded his head before telling a maid to go check the field. He felt that something was wrong, but he didn’t want to assume things yet.

He sat on a couch in the living room, while the other two also sat in front of him. “Is Ellie training her abilities?” Callum asked, to which Alex also nodded yes, even though he was feeling like something was strange.

Soon after, the maid came back, but there was no Ellie or Maya behind her. “I can’t find the Luna, Alpha.” The maid said on her knees.

Without bothering to ask her anything, he dashed out. He knew it was strange that he couldn’t get her fresh scent in the house. He didn’t bother looking around; he just went towards the workers’ quarters, where some of the drivers were staying. He was about to enter when he saw Maya’s driver. “Where is Maya?”

“Madam Maya and the Luna left with the car this morning, and she told me they’d go themselves.” The driver said, but Alex just left his presence without saying a word. “What are you thinking, Maya?” He said as he took his phone to make a call, but none of their numbers went through.

He went back to where he left Callum and Darren, only to see his mother also standing beside them. “I knew that girl was trouble. She must have instigated Maya. I wonder where she took my daughter.” Madeline lamented, but Alex did not say anything. He just walked toward his car. Callum and Darren also quickly entered before he drove away.

He didn’t want to believe that the both of them were up to something, but he couldn’t help it, especially with the way Ellie was acting so strangely in the morning. But it seemed like it was becoming more problematic when he felt her small scent on the road that leads to the dark forest.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Tell the men to get themselves to the dark forest now.” He said as he drove at high speed.
