The Alpha’s Human Mate

He walked towards the dining room, expecting to see her eating, but he was surprised to see the room empty.

“Where’s Ellie? Didn’t you inform her about dinner?” He called the maids and asked them.

He noticed the fear in the maid’s eyes, which got him even more worried. “Do you want to start talking, or should I help you by cutting off your tongue?!” He threatened them in anger.

The maids quickly went on their knees and said in tears, “Young madam has gone out since morning, and she’s not back yet.” The maids shivered in fear.

She went out?! Alex asked before dashing out of the dining room. Shawn! Shawn! Where are you?! He walked towards the worker’s quarters and called out to him.

Mr Warren! Shawn answered, running towards him. He already knew the kind of trouble he had gotten into because Alex’s expression told it all.

He stopped in front of him with his head slightly bowed. “Young Miss told me to drive her to her mother’s house this morning, and I did not want to disobey her.”

“Her mother’s house?” Alex asked. He was a bit surprised to hear that; he was quiet for some time before he asked. “So you did not think of informing me?”

“I’m sorry, sir.” Shawn apologized, but Alex did not say anything.

“Get in. Take me there right now!” Alex said without thinking about the fact that he could see her mother.

“What are you planning, Ellie?” Alex said to himself.

Ms. Loren’s house.

“Mum, I told you I’d do it. Stop stressing yourself out.” Ellie said. She was setting the table for dinner. She had been trying to stop her mom from doing any work, but she didn’t listen to her.

She tried not to think about Alex or his house; she made sure to keep herself busy so that she wouldn’t think about him.

She and her mother were about to sit down to eat dinner when she heard the doorbell. “Did you invite your friend again?” Ellie asked, knowing that her mother could invite the whole neighborhood to come eat dinner with them.

“No. I did not invite anyone.” Her mother answered before looking toward the door.

Ellie stood up and went to the living room to check who was at the door because she did not want to stress her mother. “Who is there?” She asked, but she did not get any reply.

At that point, she was starting to think and get scared that it might be Alex. She wished she could see the person behind the door without opening it, but their door didn’t have a peephole.

She took a deep breath and opened the door slowly with her shaky hands.

She gasped at the sight of him, and stuttered in fear. Yo.. you. What are you doing here?! Ellie asked. She quickly looked back to check if her mom was not coming. She made sure not to open the door wide, which would not make her mom see him if she was coming.

I should be asking you that. “Why did you leave the house without my consent?” Alex asked. He was angry about her leaving before, but his anger went away immediately when he saw Ellie.

Shh. Stop making noise! Ellie commanded before looking back again, which made Alex even more curious about who was in the house with her. “I think we were over this, Alex. I don’t need your permission before going out.”

“It seems you’ve forgotten the contract.” Alex smirked.

“And maybe you’ve forgotten our deal also,” Ellie said with an irritated tone. All she wanted was just for him to leave, and she knew that arguing with him wouldn’t help, but she couldn’t help but reply to him.

“You have to obey me as long as you live in my house,” Alex said with a smirk. Ellie wanted to tell him that she also wanted to leave his house, but what happened next shocked her.

“Live in whose house?” Mrs. Loren asked. She walked closer to see who her daughter was talking to because she had been waiting for her to come back, but when she didn’t see her, she decided to check herself.

“Who is this?” Mrs. Loren asked her daughter softly. She was surprised to see a young, handsome man standing in front of their door.

Mrs. Loren noticed that her daughter was not ready to talk. She and the man just kept looking at each other. “Is he your boyfriend?”

No! He. Ellie said it immediately, which got the woman laughing. “He’s my boss.”

Ms. Loren looked at Alex and said with a smile, “I’m sorry about her.”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Alex also recovered from his shock. “Good evening, ma’am.” Alex greeted her with a small bow; he couldn’t stop looking at Ellie’s mother because of their resemblance.

“Good evening. Please come in.” Ms. Loren said.

“Huh! Mom, you don’t have to invite him in; he was just about to leave.” Ellie said with a weak smile, but her mother did not listen to her. Ms. Loren dragged Alex into the house as if she had known him for a long time.

She sat on a couch in a VIP room, smoking cigarettes. She smoked for almost an hour before a man walked into the room.

“What got our Luna so upset today? Why are you smoking with so much sadness?” Gregory asked with a smile. He noticed how sullen and sad her face was.

Sophie, who just kept smoking the cigarette, did not say anything; she kept pouring herself alcohol before she finally said, “When you say that you’ll help me become the Luna, does it also mean that you’ll do anything it takes to help me?”

“Anything you want, Luna,” Gregory answered.

She dropped her cigarette and stared deep into his eyes. “I need that help.” She said, but was surprised when she heard him burst into laughter.

“I never thought it would take you this fast,” Gregory mocked. He also took a cup and poured himself a drink.

Without bothering about him, she said softly, “Alex has a fated mate, and he’s planning on making her the Luna.”

“Wait, those rumors are true?” Gregory asked. He already knew about everything, but he was teasing Sophie intentionally.

“They’ve always been true,” Sophie said before gulping her drink. “I want to destroy that weak human that is trying to take everything away from me.” Sophie looked at Gregory and said,.

“And you will help me do that.””

“Do you have a plan?” Gregory asked.

“I always have a plan.” Sophie answered with a smile,

“You’ll only have me, Alex. You won’t have to think about that human or the pup in her again; I’ll make sure of that.” Sophie said to herself with a smile.
