The Alpha’s Human Mate

He sat on the bed with his back resting on a pillow. “I’m fine. It’s just my arm. Nothing much.” Alex kept assuring his sister, who had been getting worried ever since she came.

“OK, I’ve heard you. But you should be resting right now to get better soon. How will you face the media with your injured arm?”

Alex looked at Maya before asking, “Face the media? Was it published in the news?”

“Yes,” Maya replied, while Alex only sighed. He knew that the media would surely have something to publish. “Tell Jeffrey to do something about it,” he said, before trying to adjust his bed back so that he could sleep, but he suddenly remembered something.

“Did Ellie come?” He asked, only to see his sister shake her head. He guessed that she might have seen it on the news, but he wasn’t sure she would be worried about him. Not that he wanted her to come looking for him, but he thought maybe she would at least wonder if he was still alive.

“You should leave. I need to rest.” He laid back on the bed and turned his back to Maya.

“Brother!” Maya called out, but when she did not hear any reply, she stood up and left the room.

He turned to the closed door and sighed before sitting up again. He rested his back and kept looking through the window until a knock came from the door and Callum entered.

He looked at him and sat up very well. “Did you find the person?”

“Yes,” Callum replied. He took a document out of a brown envelope and gave it to him.

Alex opened the document. It contained the information of the person who tried to kill him. He had been planning what to do to the person all morning. He even thought it might be one of the rogues again, but he was shocked to see who was in the paper.

“His name is Sam Maddox, a half-human who has been keeping his identity for so many years without getting noticed by anyone. He must have used the strong disguise of a witch. The crazy surprise is that he works for my company.” Callum said, looking at the guy who was just staring at the papers like he was not surprised. “Do you know him?” He asked.

Alex kept looking at the paper before he finally opened his mouth. “He’s Ellie’s childhood friend, or whatever.” He couldn’t bring himself to say crush.

“His parents were also killed brutally, like Ellie’s parents, and I think he tried to take revenge because he knew the pack was behind the forbidden bond between humans,” he said with a sigh. “And speaking of Ellie, he visited her last night.”

Suddenly, Alex looked up at Callum. He had been looking at the pictures and information about him, but at the mention of Ellie’s name, he dropped them and looked at him. “He visited Ellie? Is she okay? Did he try to harm her?” Alex asked with worry. He knew his informant would have told him if something was wrong, but he suddenly became worried at the mention of her name.

“No. Ellie is fine, and I think we should worry more about something else.”

“What are you saying?”

“Ellie and Sam are half-humans, and they both think the pack is responsible for their parents’s deaths. Sam tried to kill you, and on the same day he went to Ellie’s house after a long time.”

Alex did not even think before he burst out. “What are you saying, Callum? Are you trying to say that Ellie might also be part of his plans?!” He asked with anger.

“Calm down, Alex! I’m only trying to say that we should be careful. That’s all.” Callum said, but Alex was not planning to give him a chance to badmouth Ellie. “No, Callum. I know what’s going on in that mind of yours. You think Ellie is responsible for this, don’t you?”

Callum felt frustrated that he also couldn’t control his anger. “Stop it, Alex. Stop trying to hide from the truth. I’m not saying that Ellie tried to kill you. But you need to open your eyes and see things for yourself. Put yourself in her position, Alex. What will you also do if you find someone who might be responsible for your parents’ deaths?” He sighed before continuing. “Just give her space and stop interfering in her life.”

“Get out!” Alex screamed at him. He was already angry hearing what he was saying, and he knew he could do something he would regret if he continued arguing with him.

Callum could only sigh before walking out of the room. He found it weird that Sam had visited Ellie after a long time, even though he knew she had been living with Alex before. Not that he suspected Ellie, but he felt that Sam might make her do something she didn’t want, and he wanted Alex to be careful. But he was still as protective of her as ever, not caring about what the situation might be, which got him a bit pissed.

He walked into the cafe and sat down. It was the same cafe where Ellie and Madeline had their discussion about breaking the mate bond. He smirked as he remembered all their discussions.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

He sat down for some time, waiting for the people at the counter to finish ordering, before he stood up and went to the guy making coffee. “The smell of coffee delights me every morning,” he said with a smile, but the barista was just looking at him weirdly.

“What do you want, sir?” The barista asked, but instead of Sam answering him, he asked a question instead. “What do you have?”

The barista sighed before telling him the different kinds of coffee he could order. He was already so angry and frustrated as he talked, but he still managed to put on a smile.

“I think I lost my appetite. Werewolves don’t make the best coffee,” Sam said with a smile, looking at the guy who was just staring at him as if he were confused. “That is the code, right? Werewolves don’t make the best coffee. Don’t keep me waiting. Just open the door to the passage.”

As soon as those words came out of his mouth, he felt some men come behind him. But everything was so fast that he slumped to the ground and fell into darkness. What he did not know was that the men sitting in the cafe were not customers; instead, they were also part of the group. The men came towards him and hit him with a slab before dragging him through a door behind the counter.
