The Alpha’s Human Mate

She sat down on a chair in the dining room, looking at the girl opposite her, who bowed her head slightly.

“Please, let’s eat.” Maya said, looking at Ellie; she noticed that the girl had been looking down her knees ever since they came inside. She could even hear her heartbeat with her wolf senses; she couldn’t deny the fact that it was funny to see the human girl acting that way.

Ellie gave her a weak smile before she took the cutlery to start eating. Even though she had lost her appetite, she still found herself swallowing the food. She didn’t understand why she was acting that way in front of the girl, but she just felt guilty.

She looked at Alex, who was acting as if he wasn’t present in the room. He was just sipping his coffee without looking at any of them. Ellie noticed that he wasn’t eating; it was only her and Maya that were eating; he was just sipping his coffee.

“What do you think about werewolves?” Maya suddenly asked. She dropped her cutlery and kept looking at Ellie intently. Ellie, who was still surprised by her question, said, “Huh!”

“Is that the first question she would ask me after knowing about her boyfriend cheating on her?” Ellie thought.

“Maya! That’s enough.” Alex finally said. He knew that his sister already knew about what was going on, but he was surprised to hear the questions she was asking her.

“No, I just want to know her opinion. It’s not like I placed a knife on her neck.” Maya said with a smile, staring deep into her eyes, but Ellie knew that the smile wasn’t a sincere one.

She felt chills grow in her when she heard what she said. “Why is the girl so cold? And why the hell is Alex not saying anything about it?” Ellie thought.

“I… well… I think they’re just fantasies, but I don’t see any harm in reading werewolf stories.” Ellie said, smiling back at the girl. She decided to just smile and answer her, since Alex was not coming to her rescue.

“That’s good. I think I’m getting to like you.” Maya said with a smile. “I can’t wait for the drama to unfold. Am I right, brother?” She said, still looking at Ellie, before she turned to Alex.

“Brother?! He’s your brother?!” Ellie asked, even though she didn’t understand what the girl was saying. She heard her call him a brother, which was shocking to her. She had been thinking it was his girlfriend.

“You don’t know? Don’t tell me you’ve been thinking I’m his girlfriend.” Maya asked, laughing out loud, but Ellie didn’t say anything. My brother is here.

“OK, that’s enough. I don’t want to hear anything from you again.” He said this to Maya, cutting her off from talking.

He had been drinking his coffee without paying attention to them, but when he heard her talking about werewolves and also about him, he couldn’t stop himself from shutting her up.

“You! Go to your room!” He said to Ellie with a commanding tone.

“But I’m not done eating.” She said, looking back at her food with a pouty mouth. She wanted to ask the girl what she meant by the drama unfolding.

“Then I guess you want me to feed you. Mind you, I’ll be using my mouth this time instead of the spoon.” He said it with his eyebrows raised.

She looked up at him to see if he was joking, but she saw that he was talking with seriousness, so she stood up immediately to leave the room.

“Such a shameless man.” She whispered enough for him to hear; she took her phone from the table and left for her room.

“Why do you keep blabbering around?! What exactly is your problem?!” He asked as soon as he felt Ellie’s heartbeat was far away

“Don’t you think you owe me an explanation? Why is that human girl here?”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Point of correction. I don’t owe either you or anyone an explanation.” He stopped for a little while, before he continued.

“And I think you must have known why she’s here. So don’t ask me stupid questions.” He said with irritation. He knew that she had seen the mate’s mark on her, so there was no reason to pretend.

“Fine.” Maya said with a low voice. She doesn’t want him to get angry so that he won’t chase her out.

“That was why you were asking me for a witch’s potion.” She whispered. “You have to reject her, brother.”

He finally dropped the cup from which he was sipping coffee on the table. He looked at her before saying, “She’s just a weak human. Don’t you even care about what might happen to her after rejection?”

“I know, but this is forbidden, especially for a human to become Luna. The pack will never agree to this.”

“I hope you haven’t forgotten the fact that she’s carrying my child. Do you think I care about what the pack wants? Or is it my fault that I’m destined with a human mate?”

“Brother, I know.”

“That’s enough! Don’t add to my worries; just go home. He said, before standing up to leave, ”

“Huh? Wait.” She said, dragging her brother by his arm. Can I stay here tonight?

No! he said sternly, removing her hand from his arm.

“Then, should I come tomorrow?” Maya asked. She was asking because she wanted to see Ellie again to spend more time and find out what kind of person she is.

No! Alex answered without looking at her; he was about to move forward again when she suddenly blocked his path and begged.

“Wait, please. I’m sure you won’t want Mother to find out.” She said, thinking she could threaten him, but only to find him smirking. “Go on and tell her. Leave before I throw you out myself.” He said, moving her away from his front.

“I can’t believe you; I wonder if you’re my real brother.” She said, screaming behind him as he leave.

He turned back and said with a smile, “Ask mother after you finish telling her about my human mate.”

Maya just groaned, took her bag, and left the house.

The next morning, she woke up early, prepared for work, and went downstairs to have her breakfast.

She noticed that the house was unnecessarily silent. Not that it’s not always silent, but she had not seen Alex come down since she started eating. “Where is Mr. Warren? She said, asking one of the maids who was packing the dishes.

“He left for work early this morning,” the maid answered.

“Huh!” She said before running out of the house. She wondered why he left without her.

Even though she didn’t like the fact that they go to work together, she couldn’t help but get worried. “How could he leave without telling me anything? She asked herself. She quickly got her chauffeur and left the house.

When she got to the company, she hadn’t entered the elevator when she saw Jeff run out of the elevator in a hurry. “Oh, Ms. Loren, thank goodness I found you. Mr. Warren is having a meeting in the next five minutes, and we have to be there.”
