The Alpha’s Human Mate

“I didn’t think someone who has been doing all those vicious things would be so stupid to reveal himself this way.” Alex said, walking closer to the man with no emotions before turning to his men, who had also stormed in, some in positions ready to fight, while some were already untying the Maya and the others. “I wasn’t even surprised to see that you were the one behind the mask.” Alex sighed before making eye contact with his men to release the people chained to the floor.

“This house has been surrounded, and it will be better for you not to even think of doing anything, because today will be the end of you.” Alex said before telling his men to grab Gabriel, but before they could get to him, he quickly dashed towards Christina, whom Elena was holding, and they both held her with a knife.

“Stay back! If you want her alive, then stay back!” He screamed at them, especially at Ellie, who was trying to move closer to her. “Please don’t hurt her.” Ellie said, trying to move closer, but Alex pulled her back. “You can’t take my position as the Alpha away again, Alex.” He screamed.

“Just give up while you have the chance, Gabriel.” Callum said, walking closer without caring that he might hurt her, even though he does care. Gabriel, seeing how he was walking closer, suddenly got more angry and was about to hurt Christina, who was already in tears. But something strange happened to him; he couldn’t move his hand. It was as if his hands had frozen. “What’s wrong? Kill her.” Elena screamed, but was shocked when she heard it. “I… can’t move my hands.”

As soon as he said those words, Callum quickly pulled Christina toward him and kicked Gabriel to the ground. “Are you okay?” He asked, to which Christina also nodded with tears in her eyes.

“Enough of this nonsense. Seize them.” Alex said, to which his men also walked towards them and grabbed them. Elena kept trying different spells, but none of them were working. “What did you do to me?!” She screamed, but looked back when she heard a strange voice. “You will find out when you get to the dungeon.”

Agnes!

“Yes. It’s me. Shocking, right?” Agnes smiled before continuing. “Today is the end of you, Elena. All your evil ways that led to the black witches’ exile have finally come to an end.” Alex went back to the dark forest to make a deal with Agnes. She would help with finding out who the creature was, and she was also going to get something in return. And with this, Agnes gave them something that helped them disappear before the fire could excalate and burn them. And they also fabricate the identification reports for the dead bodies.

Elena could not even say a word; she just accepted her fate as she was dragged with Gabriel out of the room. “It’s all over.” Ellie finally took a deep breath; she didn’t even know why tears were running out of her eyes. Maybe she finally felt at peace knowing that she had finally found the one who killed her parents. She hugged her husband and cried more in his arms.

Madeline, on the other hand, who had been quiet since, felt guilty. She could still remember how she had trusted Gabriel so much, to the point that she even supported him to marry Aurora, Ellie’s mother, all for her own gain, because she thought the Alpha at that time was in love with her. She couldn’t even move close to her son to hug him because of how guilty she was feeling.

The elders did not even know what to say; they all left one by one to their respective homes.

After some time, The halls became empty again. Christina, Ellie, and Agnes sat in the sitting room. The maids brought them drinks and dropped them in front of them, which they also drank except Christina. “I think I should get going. It’s getting late.”

“You can wait till tomorrow, Christina.”

“No. My mom will be worried. And it seems like it will rain soon.” She said she was still rejecting the offer, but Ellie knew better than to keep forcing her. “I’m sorry that you had to go through a lot today.” Ellie apologized.

“It’s fine.” Christina also replied with a smile before standing up to leave. “The driver will drop you off then. It’s already getting windy,” Ellie offered, which Christina couldn’t also reject.

“Good night.” She greeted the both of them, to which Agnes also replied. “Good night.”

After Christina left, Agnes turned to Ellie. “Is there something going on between her and the beta?”

Ellie also looked at her, surprised. “Is it obvious?”

“The beta seemed so worried about her the other time.” She replied, to which Ellie just smiled. Not too long after Christina left, Callum and Alex came back to the living room. “Everything is fine now. We will discuss what to do with the both of them tomorrow.” Alex said, to which Agnes and Ellie also nodded, but Callum noticed someone was missing.

“Where is Christina?” He asked, looking at Ellie, to which she also replied. “She went home.”

“In this weather?” He asked again, already getting so worried.

“You don’t have to worry. The driver took her home.” Ellie said, but it was as if he became more agitated for a reason unknown to Ellie. Without saying anything, he just stormed out of the house and ran out, not caring about the heavy breeze and thunder from the rain that hadn’t poured yet.

“Is he okay?” Ellie asked, looking at Alex, but to Ellie’s surprise, Alex just smiled. “He is.”

“Where is Maya?” Alex asked, noticing that another person was missing in the room, but he realized he hadn’t seen her since they all left the meeting hall.

“Maybe she went to the main building.” Ellie replied, also wondering where she had gone.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Callum drove at full speed, looking for a familiar car as he drove. The rain had already started pouring, but still, he didn’t care. He just wanted to talk to her that night, and he couldn’t wait till morning, maybe because he heard from the company that she had resigned. He felt even more bothered that he wouldn’t see her at work again.

He drove for some time more before he finally saw the car. He quickly overtook the car and trapped it before it could move again, almost causing a big collision.

He got out of the car and quickly walked to the car, not caring about the heavy downpour. “Beta.” The driver called out as he got out of the car, but the man did not even say a word to him. Instead, he turned to Christina, who had also come out of the car. “I’ll take her home.”

“No, you don’t need to bother.” Christina said, using her hand to block her head because of the rain, but it seemed like the man wasn’t ready to listen. He turned to the man again. “You can go. I’ll take her home.” The driver whom rain had also beaten couldn’t wait any longer; he just bowed his head slightly and entered the car before driving away.

“Why? Why are you doing this?” Christina asked almost in tears, but because of the heavy rain, he couldn’t see her clearly; he could only hear her heartbeat.

“I just need to talk to you. I’ll take you home.” Callum said, grabbing her hand because of the rain that had already drenched them, but before he could move, Christina snatched her hands away. “I’m not going anywhere with you. I would rather stay in this rain until I can find a taxi than follow you.”

“Please, Christina. The rain is getting worse.” Every word he was saying kept annoying her; she had even started crying. “Why? I told you to leave me alone. Just leave me alone. Why do you keep doing this?” She screamed, making sure he heard her because of the loud rain, but was shocked when Callum also screamed back.

Callum also looked at her; it felt like he was fighting with himself to voice out a word. “Because I love you.” He screamed, before running his hands into his hair.

“Is this another game of yours? You must think people’s feelings are just something to play with.” Christina cried back, but Callum was just looking at her, not knowing what to say. He had never felt the emotions that were happening to him; it felt so strange that he didn’t even know what to say or do. He moved a step closer to her, but Christina moved back.

“Yes. I’ve played with people’s feelings. I’ve used girls, and I don’t even care about how they feel for me, but I don’t know what’s going on with me. I’ve never felt like this before, Christina.” He sighed with frustration, not knowing what to say next. “I don’t know if the feelings started the day we had sex or if it was the day I saw you in that alley close to your house. I seriously don’t know, Christina. I thought pushing you away was the best thing. I didn’t want you to get hurt by coming into the werewolf’s world.” He said it with a light chuckle filled with a hint of pain.

Christina was also crying as he walked closer to her. She didn’t understand why she was crying. “What I know is that I’ve fallen so deeply in love with you, Christina, that I couldn’t control myself when I saw you with another guy. And if it was about the girl you saw in my office, I promise you, I don’t have anything to do with her anymore.”

He was already so close that their bodies were almost touching, but he was surprised when Christina started hitting his chest. “Why did you have to take that risk? Do you know how worried I was?” Callum froze in shock for a moment before smiling. “So you were worried about me?”

Christina was about to reply, but she suddenly sneezed. “We should go now.” He said, directing her towards his car before he also entered and drove off.
