The Alpha’s Human Mate

Deep in the forest. She ran through the woods without looking back. Even though nothing could be seen chasing her, she kept on running with tears in her eyes, until she suddenly tripped and fell down.

The sound of its large paws was getting nearer, and its fast heartbeat was something that made her even more scared. She could hear some howling sounds around her, which made her realize there were many.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

She stood up to start running again when she heard a wolf growling from behind. She turned back and screamed as the wolf was about to pounce on her.

She screamed out of her sleep with heavy pants and sweat all over her face. She looked around her and noticed that she was in a room. She sat up from bed immediately, despite the headache and pain she was feeling. The memories of last night started coming to her head. “I must be going crazy. There’s no way something like that is possible.” She said this, slipping her hand into her hair.

She removed the drip from her hand and tried getting out of bed when the door suddenly opened and a doctor came in with Alex behind him.

“Ma’am, what are you doing? You haven’t finished your treatment.” The doctor moved closer to her to put the drip back on her, but Ellie looked at Alex, who was just staring at her without saying anything. “I want to go home.” She said with no emotion.

Alex couldn’t pinpoint what she was feeling right then, but he knew he had to take her home without forcing her to do anything. “Yes, I’ll take you home.” He answered.

After she heard what he said, she walked out of the room without looking at any of them. “But, sir, she hasn’t finished receiving her treatment.” The doctor said, looking at Alex, but kept quiet when he just left without saying a word.

The drive home was so quiet. Both of them were lost in their own thoughts. Alex was the one who drove, while Ellie was sitting in the front beside him. She didn’t bother looking at him or saying anything until they got home.

Alex walked into the house, while Ellie walked behind him. He wanted to talk to her, but he didn’t know what to say or how to start. He sighed; he was about to walk up the stairs when he heard. “Don’t you think you need to explain what happened last night? Ellie said, waiting for a response but continuing when she didn’t hear him say anything.

“I mean, whatever I saw yesterday must have been my hallucination, right? Or maybe there’s another explanation?” She asked, but Alex still didn’t say anything, which got her more angry and irritated. “I’m asking you a question, Alex!” She raised her voice in anger before he suddenly said.

“Whatever you saw yesterday was true.” Alex sighed before he continued. “I’m a werewolf.” The word kept resonating in her head.

“No. There must be another explanation. Werewolves ain’t real; they are just made-up stories.” She said, tears dripping out of her face, but suddenly her mind drifted to how his eyes had changed color.

Alex did not bother clarifying the werewolves’ reality; he looked at her before saying, “I know you’ll probably hate me from now on. And also, this isn’t how I wanted you to find out, but I hope you can just calm down and let’s talk.” Alex said, taking a step forward toward her, but Ellie quickly moved back.

“I want to go home.” She said calmly.

“This is your home.” Alex also replied with a calm voice. He took a step forward again, but stopped when Ellie moved backwards.

“No, this is not my home. Whatever deal or contract we had is now over. I’m going back to my house.” She said in tears. She couldn’t understand how she hadn’t passed out because she was so scared that even her legs were shaking.

He sighed and strode towards her. He caught her by the waist before she could move backward again. “No contract is over until I say it’s over. This is your one and only house, so please just listen to me.” He said, holding her around the waist tightly.

“Let go of me now, you lying beast.” Ellie hit his chest, but he didn’t budge. Instead, he asked in anger. “What did you just call me? A beast?”

Ellie was so scared to see how his expression had changed. “I just want to go back home.” She raised her voice again without answering him.

Alex took her hands and dragged her up the stairs, but when she was still pushing him away, he carried her in his arms despite her shouting and hitting. He wanted to put her on his shoulder, but because of the baby in her tummy, he carried her in his arms.

“Let go of me! Let me go!” She screamed, hitting and pushing his chest, but the man did not listen. Alex took her to the room and placed her on the bed before leaving the room. Ellie stood up and tried to follow him out of the room, but he locked the door after him.

“Open this door! Alex!” She screamed and banged on the door, but Alex did not open it. “If she leaves this house or comes out of her room, I’ll make sure you all pay for it.” She heard Alex tell the maids. Alex! Open this door! I want to go home! She kept screaming till she couldn’t hear his voice at the entrance again.

After banging on the door for some time, she went back to sit down on the bed. She couldn’t stop the tears that were falling out of her eyes. “How is this possible? How can werewolves be real? I can’t believe I’m having a werewolf baby. I need to get out of here immediately.” She kept saying different kinds of things to herself with tears in her eyes.

All she wanted was to just go back home and cry on her mother’s shoulder, but she knew that was not possible, especially when Alex had locked her in the room.

She was still thinking when the door suddenly opened and three maids walked in with food. One was standing by the door, while the other two were serving her food.

The maids left after they’d set her food on the table, and locked the door after they left, but Ellie did not bother looking at them or the food. Even though she was hungry, she had decided not to eat anything again from creatures she didn’t know existed.
