The Alpha’s Human Mate

Callum suggested he take her to his house first until the rain stopped, because his house was closer and she could dry herself and stay warm before going back to her house. The car stopped in front of the house. She was so carried away, looking at the familiar house she had once come to, that she didn’t even realize that Callum had come out of the car and opened the door for her.

“I’m sorry.” She said as she got out of the car. Callum also helped her out. She went into the house with him. “You should change your clothes first, so you won’t catch a cold.”

She looked at the familiar room and blushed as Callum went through his wardrobe to get a clean cloth. “Call me if you need anything.” Christina also nodded, while Callum just smiled before leaving the room.

She looked at the room, smiling at herself, before walking into the bathroom. She finished taking her bath and got out of the bathroom, but she was feeling so uncomfortable with Callum’s shirt she was putting on. Her clothes had not dried yet, and there was nothing she could do but wear his shirt.

She kept pulling it down as she walked. She was thankful she wasn’t so tall, but still, the shirt stopped on her thighs. She left the room and went downstairs, only to see him in the kitchen. “Hey.” She said as she walked closer, but felt more embarrassed when she saw the way he was staring at her. “The shirt is small. Do you probably have any old clothes? I mean maybe from the maids.”

Callum looked at her before smiling. He gave her a mug filled with hot coffee. “I’m sorry, but I can’t help you with that. I live alone.”

Christina also collected the mug from him. “You mean no maids live here?” She asked, but she also realized that she didn’t see anyone in the house except the man who opened the gate.

“No maids. They only come to clean once a while.” He replied, looking at her, but Christina could only look away. “He lives alone. What about his girlfriends?” She thought, sipping her coffee quietly, but choked on it when she heard. “You’re the third person to ever come into my house.”

She was surprised to hear him; it was as if he heard her thoughts, which he actually did. “Second person?” She said, staring at him, surprised.

“Actually, if we don’t count the maids, Alex and Maya are the first and second. You’re third.” Callum said, still looking at her. Maya dropped the mug on the table; her heart was already beating so fast with the way he was staring at her.

Christina found it hard to believe. “So no one comes here to visit you. What about your parents?” She asked. She was trying to form a conversation with him to ease her embarrassment, but was shocked when she heard.

“I don’t have parents. Actually, everyone has parents, but they died when I was at a young age.” Christina froze in shock; watching him say such with a smile made her feel guilty and sad. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know.”

“Of course. You didn’t.” He said this, walking closer to her. He cleaned up the small tears running out of her eyes. “Do you usually cry this easily?”

“I’m sorry.” She said again, but Callum did not say anything; he just inched closer and kissed her lips. Christina also wrapped her hands around herself and responded to the kiss. The atmosphere was already getting hot, with Callum slipping his hand into her shirt. He traced his kisses down to her neck, and at that point he knew he had to stop, or it would go further. “I think we should stop.” He said, catching his breath.

“Is there something wrong?” Christina asked, wondering what she had done wrong. She became even more worried about the way he stepped away from her. “You should get dressed. I’ll take you back home.” He said before moving to walk away, but Christina grabbed his hand. “Is there something wrong? Did I do something wrong?”

No. It’s just… He didn’t complete his words. It was as if he was fighting with his words, but he alone knew why he was acting like that. His wolf is always so excited when it comes to her. “I’ll go get my clothes then.” She said she was moving away from him to go upstairs, but he pulled her back.

“I’m just scared of hurting you, Christina.”

“Hurting me? What do you mean by that?”

My… He took a deep breath before looking at her. “My wolf. It gets so excited when you’re around. And I’m scared I might do something you don’t want, or hurt you.” He said, but he felt somehow with the way Christina was staring at him.

He sighed, and was about to walk away when Christina pulled him back. “You shouldn’t be scared of me, Callum. And you shouldn’t think I don’t want you to do things to me. I love you, Callum,” Christina said before adding a kiss. Callum also looked at her before slamming his lips on her.

He kissed her like his life depended on it. His hands went slowly around her waist, pulling her closer. He sucked her neck and kissed all over her face before he finally carried her in his arms and headed towards the bedroom.

In the Supreme.

Darren slept on the bed. The doctor had just finished taking care of his wounds and administered some drugs to him. Maya sat on a chair beside the bed, looking at him. She couldn’t believe how weak she had become, all because of the guy on the bed. She sat in that same position for a long time before heaving a deep sigh. She stood up to leave when his hand suddenly held her back.

“You were not sleeping?”

“I was, until you stood up.” He said with a smile despite his weak state, but Maya was just looking at him in confusion. She felt that he was saying his gibberish again, and it was best to leave. “Hey, wait. Stay here with me.” He said. He tried to sit up from the bed but was making painful sounds, to which Maya also quickly helped him.

“Your face looks puffy. You shouldn’t cry like that next time.” He said, smiling at her despite how close she was. Maya also looked at him before moving away. “You must be so full of yourself. I didn’t cry.”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Oh. You looked so worried the other time that I saw something running out of your eyes.” Darren replied, still smiling at her.

“I just told you I didn’t cry. You don’t know what you’re talking about.” Maya scoffed.

“Maya!” He called out, but suddenly heard her outburst. “Why do you like me? Don’t you even care? I’m your friend’s sister.”

But to her surprise, she heard, “Everything. You are not the normal type of girl who loves wearing makeup or materialistic things. You love playing video games and anime. You’re yourself, and I like you for that. I really don’t know when the feelings started, but I know they started a long time ago.” He tried to sit up again, but Maya quickly went towards him to help him. He grabbed her hand and helped her sit on the bed beside him. “And yes. I don’t care that I’m friends with your brother. He’s probably going to break my leg or my face, but I don’t care. I love you, Maya.”

Maya was just looking at him before she sighed. “You broke up with your first girlfriend because of me?” she asked.

“That was a long time ago,” Darren said, not wanting her to blame herself for destroying a relationship. “Just answer the question, Darren.”

He sighed. “Yes.” But Maya was just looking at him. She should have avoided him when she saw that his attitude was changing toward her.

“You’re making a big mistake.” Maya said, still staring deep into his eyes as he was moving closer and staring down at her lips. “Am I?”
