The Alpha’s Human Mate

The next morning, she woke up feeling so tired. All her body aches. She didn’t know if the pain was because of the stress from the party or Alex, who didn’t stop touching her until she couldn’t move a muscle.

Alex! She called out when she didn’t see him on the bed. She was about to go to the bathroom to look for him when she saw a small note on the pillow beside her. She opened and read with a smile, blushing all red like a red tomato. “He could have just woken me up before going.”

She stood up from the bed and went into the bathroom to get a bath. She found everything already in place for her. Her toothbrush, towel, and the dress she’ll wear after bathing.

After finishing bathing, she went downstairs to have her breakfast, but was surprised when she found Maya in the living room.

“Good morning. I’ve been waiting for you.”

Maya! She ran towards her and hugged her tight. “Oh my goodness! I’ve missed you so much.”

“OK. That’s enough.” Maya said with a smile, pulling away from the hug. “The great Luna shouldn’t go around hugging just anyone.”

“But you’re not just anyone.” Ellie replied with a smile, but Maya didn’t say anything, noticing that Ellie had decided to change the topic. “Did Alex know you were here?”

“Suprisingly, he asked me to come help you get ready to meet the elders and other packs.”

“Meet the elders?” Ellie asked, with her eyes widening. “No wonder a dress was placed for me in the bathroom.”

“Yes. Just to get you to know each elder in the pack. You don’t have to be scared.” Maya said, knowing that she was nervous. “I’m hungry. Let’s eat. I haven’t eaten because of you.”

She stood up to go to the dining area, which Ellie also followed. “Wow! Is this a feast? How are we supposed to finish this?” Ellie exclaimed, looking at the different kinds of dishes on the table.

“We just eat the little we can.” Maya replied with a laugh before taking a plate to serve herself.

“I think we should tell Mr. Arnold and the other maids to join us.” Ellie said, picking up her own plate, but she looked up at Maya when she heard the noise of the spoon hitting the table.

“You’re a Luna now, Ellie. You shouldn’t be found sitting with those kinds of people.” Maya said, but Ellie did not give her any reply. She found the way she was acting weird.

The door to the hall was open. She was not expecting to meet such a big crowd. She was already getting nervous, but that quickly changed when she saw her man walking up to her.

Hey. He said with a smile, holding her hand before he slightly brought his face closer to her ears. “Is it just me, or you’re super glowing today?” Ellie knew what he was talking about. She could feel her cheeks getting hot.

He was teasing her as if he were the only one in the room. Ellie felt like the ground should just swallow her. “Everyone. Bow to the great Luna.” A man said from behind, and all the people in the room also bowed their heads and chorused. “The great Luna.”

“Come on. Let’s go.” Alex said. He walked side by side with her until they got to their seats in front of the people.

Start! Alex commanded. Despite how unhappy some of them looked, they had no choice but to obey. The elders of the Bluemoon Pack introduced themselves first, and after that, some other important people from different packs.

Maya, who was just standing, looking at those introducing themselves, suddenly became alert when she saw the familiar face. “What is he doing here?” She muttered under her breath, looking away so as not to make eye contact.

“My name is Darren, the alpha of the shadow moon pack.” He said with a small bow. Some other wolves and witches also introduced themselves, which Ellie was also taking note of, but strangely, she hadn’t heard the pack she was hoping for.

“I’m Elena, the head of the white witches.” The woman said, bowing her head slightly before looking up at her. Ellie also looked at her. “Her voice? She looked so familiar.” She thought, still looking at the woman, before she drifted away from her thoughts. “Are you okay?” Alex asked.

Yes. She answered back. “If the killer of my parents is the head of the rogues, Why do I feel like something is strange here? Who exactly is this head of rogues?” The people all introduced themselves, but Alex’s eyes were on the lady beside him, looking so lost.

“That will be all.” Alex said before holding Ellie’s hand to leave the room, but he stopped when one of the elders said, “Alpha, we need to talk to you.”

“I’m busy.”

“It’s about the Luna Madeline.” The man said again but kept quiet immediately when Alex growled at him. “Make it tomorrow. I’m busy.” He left the room with Ellie, leaving them all standing with different emotions.

They walked side by side, but Alex’s gaze was on hers. She was still looking so lost. “Is there something wrong?”

She finally looked at him. “Why didn’t any of the moon crystal packs come?”

Alex was shocked to hear her question. “Moon crystal? Where did you hear that from?”Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Mom told me it was my biological mother’s pack before she died. She replied, looking at him, before asking again. “So why are they not here?”

Alex felt so uncomfortable. He didn’t want to lie, and he also did not want to say the truth to avoid her investigating her mother’s death behind his back. “Um… The pack likes to do their things alone? They live far away from the other wolves.”

“I see.” She nodded, trying not to show her worries again. “Come. I want to show you something.” He said before holding her hand again. Ellie also followed.

“Pool? What are we doing here?” Ellie asked, looking at him with surprise.

“Someone once told me to swim when feeling sad and down.” Alex said, smiling at her. “Someone? Who is this someone?”

“Myself.” He answered with a smile, which Ellie couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “And how are you so sure that this someone is right also?” Ellie said, still smiling.

“There is only one way to find out.” He said, unbuttoning his shirt and pants. “No. I’m not swimming, Alex.” She smiled, trying to push him away to run out, but he had already trapped her in his arms. He helped her unzip her dress, but he didn’t help her out of it. Instead, he jumped into the pool, splashing water on her. “Come on.”

“Oh my goodness!” Ellie said, looking at him before slowly removing her dress. She didn’t know why she was feeling so shy, removing her clothes in front of him. And he was also making it uneasy for her by staring at her with that dangerous smile.

She used the steps to get into the pool slowly.

“What are you looking at?” She asked before splashing water on him. You want to play, huh? He said, moving closer to her, but Ellie was moving backwards to run away. “What are you doing?” She laughed. She was about to climb the step back when Alex dashed towards her and pulled her back into the water before she could run. “Nowhere to go, bunny.”

He pulled her towards him and kissed her from her lips down to her neck. Ellie was also laughing as he teased her with his kisses, until she remembered. “Wait, Alex. About your mom?”

He finally stopped to look at her. “You sure know how to spoil the mood, don’t you?”

“I’m sorry. She’s your mother, Alex. You can’t chase her out of her house all because of me.” She said this, looking at him, but Alex could only sigh before replying. “It’s not because of you. “Then why did you send her out?” She asked.

“She kidnapped your mom, Ellie.”

“I know. But she did it because of you, even though it was wrong.”

“Because of me? It’s more because of herself,” Alex hissed.

She knew dragging the matter with him would keep getting him angry. “Please. Just let her come back home. Please, Alex.” She begged, but the man just sighed. “I’ll think about it.”

Knowing how to make him accept, she smiled. “Please, baby.” Alex also smiled back. “Fine.”
