The Alpha’s Human Mate

Christina knew that she had to talk to someone soon, or she might lose it. She kept thinking about what she saw, and she even had a dream about a werewolf chasing her.

She called Ellie and went to her house in the hopes of checking up on her and also to ask her about what she saw. “Good evening, ma’am. How are you doing?” Christina said this as soon as Louise opened the door.

“My dear, please come in. I’m feeling much better. How are you also doing?”

“I’m fine, ma’am. Thank you.” Christina replied with a smile. She was about to ask about Ellie when she saw her coming into the living room.

Hey! How are you doing?

“I’m fine, Ellie. Thank you.” Christina replied. She was about to say something when Ellie’s mom came back to the room and said, “Food is ready. Ellie, lead your friend to the dining room.

“Where are you going?” Ellie asked. She noticed that her mom was carrying a bag, which she knew contained food.

“I’m going to see the neighbours.” Louise replied.

“With food?” Ellie asked. She had been telling her mom all morning not to do any chores, but she didn’t listen. She was not surprised when her mom cooked food and was still planning to share it with the neighbors. “It’s just a little, Ellie. Deborah must have been worried about me.”

“It’s just a day, mom.” She said, but she knew that she wouldn’t be able to win the argument. “Just do what you want.” She sighed.

Louise also smiled back and turned to Christina. “Feel at home, dear. I’ll be right back.”

“I’m sorry about her,” Ellie said before sitting down beside her. Christina was just laughing at their banter. “Come on. Let’s go eat.” Ellie stood up to go to the kitchen, but Christina dragged her back.

“I’m okay, Ellie. I just came to check up on you.” She was not expecting to see her smiling and playing after what had happened, but she was still happy that Ellie was taking the news well. “Are… are you okay?” Christina asked, looking into her eyes with worry, but she was surprised when Ellie just smiled.

“Yes. I’m fine, Christina.” She replied.

“Oh, that’s good,” Christina said with a light chuckle. She wanted to ask Ellie questions about what happened the other day, but she did not know how to start. “So… You must have been startled. Am I right?” She asked with a smile, but Ellie was just looking at her. I mean, that thing… creature.

Ellie noticed the uneasiness in her voice and body. She knew what she was talking about. “Do you mean wolf? Ellie asked.

“Are those real? Do they also eat humans? Oh my goodness! I can’t stop thinking about it.” She asked, but Ellie did not reply before Christina whispered. “Is Mr. Warren also a werewolf? What about Mr. Stewart?” She couldn’t imagine Callum and Alex eating human flesh.

“OK. Calm down, Christina.” Ellie said, until the girl finally relaxed. “Werewolves are real, and yes. Alex and Callum are werewolves, but they don’t eat humans. Ellie said, laughing. She found Christina’s thinking funny.

“I also felt like this the first day I met. But who would have thought that I also have wolf blood in me?” She said it with a smile hidden in pain.

Christina did not say anything. In fact, she did not know what to say. “Come with me.” She said, grabbing Christina’s hand before walking towards her room.

“What? Pregnant?! You were pregnant?!” Christina screamed with shock, but Ellie quickly covered her mouth. “Shh. This is why I brought you here. I knew you were going to shout.”

She explained everything to her, including how she met Alex, what made her sign the contract, and finally how she found out she was a werewolf.

“Oh my goodness! I can’t believe all this has been happening to you. I feel like hitting your head for hiding a lot from me. But I can’t blame you.” Christina said, cleaning up the tears that had started to form in her eyes. She pulled Ellie closer and hugged her.

“How are you still able to smile after everything?” Christina asked. She knew that Ellie was just using the smile to mask away her pain.

“What do you expect me to do?” She asked back. She also did not understand how she could be smiling after everything. She did not know whether to be happy, sad, or angry; all she could do was act strong, especially in front of her mom.

Christina looked at her before sighing. The room was quiet for some time, until Christina asked, “Do you think that Alex’s mom was the one that killed your parents?”

“To be honest, I don’t know. But what I saw was a man. I can’t remember the face, but from what I heard, the man killed my father because he wanted my mother.” Ellie said. She could still remember what the man had said about choosing her father instead of him.

“I think we should find out who killed them. Maybe that could help the situation between you and Alex.” Christina suggested, but she just heard Ellie scoff.

“Situation? There is nothing between us, and I’m not going back to that world again. I might be a half-human, but I’ll keep living my life as a human that doesn’t know about the existence of werewolves.”

“Ellie. Are you telling me you don’t feel a single thing for him?” Christina asked, which caught Ellie off guard.

Did she ever feel anything about him? She was silent before answering. “Even if I ever feel anything, it all ended a long time ago.”

Ell…

“Please, Christina. I don’t want to talk about this again.”

****

Late in the night. She moved her body. She had been changing sides for over an hour. She opened her eyes, and she sat up.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

The more she tries to forget her discussion with Christina, the more she finds herself thinking about it. “No. Alex and I are something that can never cross paths again.” She kept telling herself as her mind kept drifting to Alex.

She wished she could punish the one who killed her parents, but she was scared. She was scared that she would have to go back to the werewolf world, even though she was also part of them. Scared that Alex’s family might be the ones behind it.

She sighed before turning again.
