The Alpha’s Human Mate

The next morning.

She stirred in her sleep and rolled on the bed before she suddenly rose up. “Oh my goodness! I need to go to the hospital!” She tried to stand up from the bed, but she felt weak.

Memories of last night started playing in her head. It still felt unreal to her that she told Alex how she felt, and they actually spent the night together after everything that had happened.

She looked at the crease on the bed and blushed, touching her red cheeks. She remembered how she kept touching him after each round they did. It felt like she had been starved for sex for a long time. “I can’t believe you, Ellie.”

She was still reminiscing about last night when her phone suddenly beeped. She frowned when she saw the person calling.

She sighed before picking up. “Have you done it?” She heard the voice ask, but she didn’t say anything.

Hey! Hello! Are you there?! He asked, but instead of answering, she asked back. “What is it?”

“I asked you if you’ve done it.”

No. She replied.

“No? What are you telling me? You should have done the job, Ellie. What the hell were you waiting for?” He asked, raising his voice at her, but Ellie just sighed softly before answering him.

“What you’ve done made me see the truth. I was never in love with you, Sam. It was just mere interest, which had disappeared a long time ago, but too bad, I didn’t notice.” She sighed before continuing. “What I’m feeling right now made me realize that I was only deceiving myself then.”

“You love him? Wait. Don’t tell me he knows about our plan.”

“Yes. And I’ve fallen deeply in love. It’s normal to fall in love with him; who won’t?” She said with a chuckle, teasing the guy intentionally. “Don’t even think of trying to hurt a single hair on his head, or you should get ready to face a white wolf.”

“Ellie! You can’t do this. Remember your parents. I’ve been with you since childhood; you can’t abandon me now.”

“Exactly. I should have abandoned you a long time ago. Have a nice life, Sam.” She said she was not waiting for him to reply before she hung up. She took a deep breath and stood up from the bed to wear her clothes and go check on Alex.

She wondered where he went early in the morning. “Has he gone home?” She asked herself as she opened the door, but was taken aback by the smoke that first fell on her.

“Alex! What are you making? Why is there so much smoke in the house?” She kept coughing as she walked closer to him. Pancakes? She asked as she saw what he was making. She first switched off the gas before gasping at the mess he had made.

From the burnt pancakes to the flour that poured on the floor, “What have you done to my kitchen, Alex?!” She asked, raising her voice.

“I’m sorry. I was trying to make breakfast, but everything just.” He couldn’t finish his words;

“Is this your first time cooking?” She asked, looking at the phone he was using to watch videos on how to make pancakes.

Yes. He replied softly.

“Then why cook when you know you can’t cook?” She raised her voice again.

“I’m sorry, I was trying to make you breakfast. You should eat to regain your energy.” He said, looking at her as if his words didn’t mean anything, but his words affected her. She felt weak in the knees as soon as the words came out, and she looked away from him to the pancakes on the table. She was angry at the mess he made at first, but she just found her anger gone suddenly. “I guess we can still eat the slightly burnt ones.”

“No. It’s fine. I’ll throw them out.”

“Throw them out? My precious foodstuffs are not going to waste, Alex. So get that apron off and come eat. Just so you know, you’re eating the most out of it.” She said, pulled the apron on him slightly, and smiled before walking out with the pancakes.

She sat down in the dining room, checking out the pancakes that were still manageable, before Alex walked in with the big jar of juice.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“We can just get something else to eat.” He said that, but Ellie did not say anything. She took one of the pancakes and took a bite. “Hmm. Tastes bland. Maple syrup will do.” She said it with a smile.

Alex just kept looking at her with a smile. Instead of sitting opposite her, he moved the chair towards her side and sat down. “Does it hurt?” Ellie looked at him before looking away. She knew he was talking about the mark on her neck. “No.”

She felt her heart beating faster as he sat beside her, and the smile he was giving her was making her nervous. “Keep it together, Ellie.” She said to herself, hitting her chest lightly.

Noticing that he wouldn’t stop looking at her, she said without looking at him, “You should also eat.”

Alex just smiled before taking one of the pancakes. They both were silent as they eat, but most of the time, Alex was helping her to eat more.

Then suddenly, she remembered. “About last night.” She paused, rubbing her hands together.

She couldn’t even face him to apologize for what she did. “I’m sorry. I didn’t want to do it, but Sam did.” She looked up to him and sighed. “Just forgive me.”

He just kept looking at her with a smile. He knew she would be bothered about what happened. He held her hands and was about to talk when he heard.

“Sam is not who we think he is, Alex. He is not human.” She said, hoping to see him surprised, but his expression was just his calm self. You knew.”

“Yes. I also found out recently. And I know that he came to see you in the hospital.” He said, rubbing her hand lightly with a smile on his face. Ellie just kept looking at him. She didn’t know that he already knew before her; she was hoping to just tell him the truth, even though she knew he wasn’t fond of him.

“So stop being sad now. I can never get angry at you.” He smiled, touching her cheeks, before he sighed. “I know he did all these because of the rules from the Bluemoon Pack. And I can’t blame him.”

He was still talking before Ellie caught him off guard. “Does that mean that you won’t do anything to him? Please don’t hurt him. He’s just pained about his parents.” She asked with worry in her eyes, but Alex just looked at her and sighed.

He was a bit jealous to see her caring for the guy, but he just smiled and said, “Anything for you, bunny.” Not wanting to say anything about Sam again, he looked back at the food on the table and said, “Now let’s finish this food quickly. Remember, we’re going to the hospital.”

“We still have time.” She said, to which Alex did not say anything. “Is there something wrong?” She asked, noticing that his mood had suddenly changed.

“There’s nothing wrong, Ellie.” He said with a smile, but Ellie knew it was a lie. He only calls her Ellie once in a while, and it’s only when something is really serious.

She kept looking at the guy who was trying to avoid their gaze meeting. She thought maybe he didn’t feel the same way or maybe he was still angry. Is it because of what I did? Ellie asked, and he also looked at her. What? No. How can you think that?

“Then what is it, Alex? Tell me what’s going on.”

“I know that he’s your friend, and you care about him. But.” He said, looking at her before looking away. He felt that he was doing too much. How can he tell her he was jealous about her caring for someone she knew and loved before him?

But he was surprised to see Ellie burst out into laughter. “Oh my goodness! Don’t tell me you think I’m still in love with Sam.”

“Don’t you have feelings for him anymore?” He asked, which made Ellie laugh more. “It looks like someone is jealous.”

“I’m not jealous. Forget whatever I said.” He said before gulping down his glass of juice. He stood up to go and drop the plates back in the kitchen, but Ellie grabbed his hands before he could leave. “Do werewolves also have the powers to bewitch? Because I think you’ve managed to do that to me, Mr. Warren.” She said, smiling. Alex just kept looking at her. She looked even more beautiful with her smile and light blush on her face.

I love you, Alex. She kissed his lips lightly.

Alex was taken aback by the kiss. He never knew his bunny could be that bold with her feelings. Ellie, on the other hand, was also surprised at herself. She never imagined she would be like this towards Alex, whom he never wanted to see in the past.

“I love you too, bunny.”
