The Alpha’s Human Mate

Madeline sat on a chair in her living room. A cucumber eye pad could be seen on her face. There were also some maids kneeling on the floor; they were performing manicures and pedicures for her. Madeline had always cared about her beauty, even before she gave birth to her children. Beauty and fashion were things she didn’t joke about.

“Ma’am. The informant is here.” A maid came into the room and said,.

Tell him to come in. She said, before taking her hands away from the maids, that she removed the cucumber and dismissed the maids. “Where is it?” She asked as soon as he entered.

The man gave her some papers that contained everything about Ellie’s life. “So she only has a mother. Her father and brother are dead.” Madeline scoffed as she flipped the papers.

Just then, a picture fell to the ground while she was going through the papers. She picked it up and gasped in shock. “No.”

“No! No. This is not possible. Who is this?” She stood up and asked the man, bowing her head.

“That’s her mother.” The words kept ringing in her head.

“Her mother? How is this possible?!” She screamed. She took the papers again to check for the woman’s name. She saw the name she hated the most. It was only the surname that was different.

“How can this be? If she were her mother, Then that girl is…” She couldn’t finish the word because of how shocked she was.

“How could I ignore such a thing for twenty-five years?” She exclaimed, almost pulling out her hair. “I need to get rid of her.”

Ellie and Maya walked into the forest for some time, until they finally got to the hill where they could see the town. They walked and were about to get into town when they heard something from behind. “Where do you think you’re going?”C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

They turned back slowly to see the guy they were hoping to never see. Some witches were also standing behind him. “Do you think the dark forest is a place for you to come and go anytime, all because you know how to break the barrier?!” Damien screamed.

“We’re sorry if we offend you, but we need to see the head witch.” Maya replied without caring about the glare from the guy in front of her. She just wants to find out about the truth and leave before Alex realizes it.

“The head witch?! How dare you ask for the head witch after what you’ve done? Leave this place this instant!” He screamed before walking closer to drag them, but he stopped when he heard.

“Don’t even try to lay your fingers on us. You don’t want to go through the same thing that happened to your sister,” Maya said with a mocking smile. She noticed that his sister was not among them.

“We come here in peace, and you won’t want us to fight before we leave. We’re only here to see the head witch.” Maya said. Even though she was scared while she talked to them, she knew that the only way to deal with them was to act strong.

Ellie, on the other hand, was just looking at them in silence. She wasn’t sure whether she was scared of the witches or scared about what she might find out about herself.

Damien and the other witches could not say a word. They were so angry that they wanted to kill them, but they couldn’t do anything because they were also scared. They just followed them until they got to the head witch’s hut.

It was as if the witch already knew they were on their way. She came out of her hut and looked at the two girls. “I never thought you would come back this early. Come in. Time is not on our side.”

Maya and Ellie walked towards her and were about to enter the hut when they heard the witch talking to the people that followed them. “Don’t you all have any important things to do? Because if you don’t, I have a tree you can cut down.” She said to them, and in a matter of seconds, the witches started dispersing. They all knew what the head witch meant.

“Please come in.” Agnes led them into the hut. It was so dark, but it was only Ellie who could not see anything. All of a sudden, a small light from a black candle was lit up by Agnes. “Sit down,” she said to them.

Even with the light from the candle, it was still a bit dark. The hut was so much smaller from the outside than it looked from the inside. Ellie noticed that the room emits a dark aura, from the paintings to the pictures to the black things on the table in front of her.

“What do you want me to do for you?” Agnes asked as if she didn’t know why they came.

“You told us to seek you out if we needed help finding her identity. We would like to see what she is exactly.” Maya replied.

Agnes sighed. “The only way I can help you is to show you what her parents really are. But she will be the only one to tell us.”

“What do you mean?” Ellie asked.

Agnes smiled at her before replying. “You’ll sleep and see what your parents really are, girl. And that only depends if you’re really human.” She stood up and walked to a small bed in the room. “It’s only humans that can dream. If you’re human, you’ll see it. And if you’re not, you’ll just sleep and wake up without seeing a thing.”

Ellie did not say anything. She just hoped she wouldn’t see anything. “Come here, girl.” Agnes said, tapping the bed lightly. “Remember. I’m doing this only because of the written fate.”

Ellie inhaled a deep breath before standing up. She walked to where she was and sat down gently on the bed. “Lie down and close your eyes.” Agnes commanded.

Ellie did as she was told. Not too long later, she started hearing some strange words, which she guessed were spells. Agnes took out a powder and blew it on her face.

At that point, she started feeling tired and weak, until she couldn’t control herself anymore.

“Sleep and see it for yourself, girl.” Agnes laughed, while Maya just sat beside Ellie.
