The Alpha’s Human Mate

That same night, Madeline couldn’t sleep; she knew she had to go see Gabriel and Elena to finally accept reality. She tried different ways to enter the dungeon where they were kept captives, but failed until one of the men finally allowed her.

She walked into the dungeon, looking at the woman and man sitting on the cold floor with their hands and legs chained to the ground. “It’s still hard to believe. I trusted you so much and supported whatever you wanted, but you went ahead and backstabbed me. I was just a pawn, right?” Madeline hissed in anger before walking closer to the prison.

“With everything you planned, I’m happy that everything still went well for my family. Thank you so much. I hope you enjoy your life in hell.” Madeline said before turning around to walk out, but she stopped in her tracks when Elena crawled closer. “Please, Madeline. I didn’t know what went wrong. Please get me out of here.”

Madeline just looked back. She looked at the man beside her, who was not even looking guilty. “Let’s see what the court will decide about you. I hope it will be something that will make you go through intense pain before you finally drop dead.” She didn’t even bother to listen to what Elena would say next before leaving the room.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

The next day, they were all present in the meeting hall, with the elders standing in one corner and Ellie and Alex sitting on a big chair in front of them. Not too long later, the door opened, and some men dragged the two prisoners in.

“It’s such a big disappointment to know that someone from my family has been ordering a group of rogues to kill innocent people, just for their own gain of killing me and becoming the Alpha.” Alex said, looking at the man on the floor. “And not only that. This same man is responsible for the destruction of the Moon crystal pack.”

The elders were also looking at both of them with disgust. “They should be punished greatly, Alpha.”

“As for Elena, she should experience the same fate as the black witch she once opened the dark forest for, Alicia. She should be burned to death.” Alex said, while Elena kept shouting. “Please, Alpha. Please forgive me. Help!.”

“Drag her out of here.” The elders said to the men because of how Elena kept shouting.

Alex stood up and walked towards the man. “And as for you, Uncle? You’ve never deserved this seat. Your wicked ways won’t let you, and I hope they keep hurting you till you die.” He turned to the men. “Torture him, and make sure he doesn’t die for at least a week.”

“Just kill me right now. Alex. This is not over.” The man screamed as they dragged him out.

“I hope you’ll all learn not to even think of doing something against the pack,” Alex said before going back to his seat and holding Ellie’s hand. He knew his wife wished she could take revenge herself, but he couldn’t let her stain her hands with blood.

Not too long after, he went back to sit down. Agnes came forward. “Um… Alpha. About the dark forest.” The elders had also been watching her; they were wondering why she was still there and not locked up in the forest.

Alex also looked at her before saying, “Oh, before I forget. The dark forest will now be open. The black witches can also live and move around other creatures based on the rule that they won’t hurt other people.”

“But Alpha. These people can’t be trusted.” One of the elders said this, to which others also agreed.

“The same way, we trusted some of the people in the pack, and they backstabbed us. I hope you also know that not all of you here can be trusted.” Alex said, making them all keep quiet. “Elena had also produced bad potions and cast forbidden spells, despite being a white witch, but still, no one did anything about it. No one is holy; we all have bad sides, and we can’t lock some people up because we think they’re evil. So because of this, the spell on the black witches will be destroyed, and they will get to live their lives in peace like every one of us here. That’s an order.” He said, glaring at them.

The elders all kept quiet, and they all kept their disapproval to themselves. Some were angry, while some just decided to give the black witches a chance.

Alex and Ellie left the hall hand in hand, but before they could walk far, they heard “Alex. Please wait.” They both looked back to see who it was. Ellie quickly moved her hands away from his and bowed slightly to give the two privacy, but before she could go, she heard, “You should wait. I’d like to talk to both of you.”

Madeline sighed, rubbing her hands together, before saying, “I’ve done things I shouldn’t have, and I regret them. I know you might not forgive me, especially you, Ellie. And I understand if you don’t. I just hope you won’t hate me for long.” At that point, Ellie felt like crying. Madeline had done things that hurt her, but still, she wasn’t angry; instead, she was hoping she would accept her. “I’m not angry at you. Please don’t apologize.”

“Thank you. Thank you so much.” Madeline said with a smile before looking at her son, who also smiled back at her. “Thank you,” Alex said, to which she also nodded and walked away.

They both looked at each other and smiled. “Let’s have lunch outside,” Alex said.

“I don’t know about that. I don’t really have that much appetite.” Ellie said, touching her tummy with a sad face. “Are you okay? I think I should tell Lincoln to come check up on you. I also noticed you’d not been eaten well.”

A week later. Maya had been so busy with her curiosity about witches. She spent most of her time with the witches, forgetting she had a boyfriend, especially since the white witches had just chosen their new leader.

Alex and Ellie had just come back from their lovely picnic, and he wanted to go to the courtroom to check on Elliot, who had requested an audience. He was about to get to the room when he saw two familiar figures from afar.

Is that… Maya? He ran up to them and was shocked to see who was smooching his sister. Darren! I’ll kill you with my hands! He screamed as he dashed towards him, but his sister quickly blocked him. “Alex, please.”

“Step away, Maya. I’ll kill you today, Darren.” He screamed, still trying to push his sister away. Darren had also moved back; he wanted to get closer to him, but he didn’t want his face broken. “Calm down, Alex. Please, let’s talk.”

“Let’s talk?” What he said got him even more angry. He pushed his sister away, and punched Darren.

“Alex. What are you doing?!” He stopped when he heard Ellie’s voice. “What the hell are you doing, Alex?” He walked toward his wife. “Can you believe this guy? I caught him misbehaving with my sister.”

Maya quickly went towards Darren and helped him up. “I kissed him, Alex. And I can because he’s my boyfriend.”

“Boyfriend? Can you hear that, Ellie?” Alex said, still angry and surprised to see his sister acting like that, but was more shocked when he heard his wife say, “Why are you acting like this, Alex? Just leave them alone. They like each other.”

“Did you know they were dating?” He asked, but his wife just sighed. “You knew, and I didn’t. Wow. What are you going to tell me next? That Callum also knows.” He said it dramatically.

“Actually,” Maya said, looking at him.

“He knows?”

“Let’s go now, Alex. The baby can hear you as you’re shouting.” Ellie said, pulling him to leave the two alone. “Wait Ellie. You’re having a baby?” Maya asked happily, to which Ellie also nodded.

“It was supposed to be a surprise,” Ellie said with a faint blush.

“Congratulations Luna.” Darren said, smiling, but stopped when he looked at Alex, who was sending daggers at him.

“Thank you. Let’s go now, Alex.” She pulled Alex away, leaving the two alone.

Maya also waited for them until they left. “I told you not to come.”

“I couldn’t stop myself. I missed you.” Darren said, smiling, but Maya just hit his chest and blushed.

“He’s taking advantage of Maya, Ellie.” Alex said, not trusting Darren for a bit.

“And how are you so sure? That’s what your sister wants, and you should accept it for her. She’s old enough to make her own decisions.” Ellie explained, looking at the guy, who was still fuming in anger. “But, Ellie…”

“No buts. Just leave the two alone.” Ellie said again, but Alex just sighed. “OK.”

“Good. So don’t go punching people around.” Ellie said, but Alex just smiled. “It’s just annoying to know that Callum knew, and he didn’t tell me.”

“I guess he knew how you would react. Speaking about him, what has he been up to? I haven’t seen him around.” Ellie said. “He’s probably enjoying life with his girlfriend, and he has forgotten his duties as a beta.” Alex said, but was surprised when Ellie started laughing. “Why are you talking like you’re jealous?”

“And why would I be jealous?” He pulled her closer and kissed her all over her face, making her laugh out loud, before she held his face. “Thank you for everything, Alex.” She said, but Alex just kissed her lips.

“What do you think we’ll be doing for a lifetime?” She asked, to which Alex also acted as if he were in deep thought. “We will probably be doing this.” He kissed her again. “And we will have another baby after this little angel. He touched her tummy, and smiled. “We will keep going on different dates until we finally move to the beach to enjoy her life and leave the children with their grandmother.”

“Seriously Alex.” She laughed, beating his chest lightly, but the guy did not give her another chance to talk before he kissed her again.
