The Alpha’s Human Mate

“Ellie. Where are you, my dear?” She called her number, but it wasn’t going through. She tried calling Jasmine’s number, but it wasn’t going through either. She saw it on the news that her daughter was lost and anyone who found her would be rewarded.

She felt like her whole world had crumbled down to her feet. She quickly left her house and started walking on the streets to look for her daughter.

“Nothing will happen to you, Ellie.” She kept saying this as she walked on the dark street, tears falling out of her eyes. She wanted to call her boss, Alex, but she did not have his number.

But before she could walk for long, a van suddenly pulled up in front of her, and two hefty men came out and pushed her in. The street was so dark and silent that no one saw when the evil work was done.

*****

The next morning, she woke up only to see that she had slept off in the living room. Without bothering to go to her room or change her clothes. She walked out of the house, from the building to the gate, with her legs, because Alex had ordered her not to take any of his cars again.

She did not even see Shawn. She only saw the gardener, who did not even act like they saw her, but she was also less concerned about them.

She took in a fresh breath as soon as she got out of the house. She took her phone, which she had turned off last night, and turned it back on. She saw the various calls she had missed most, especially from her mom.

She sniffed so many times before dialing her mother’s number, but it wasn’t going through. She tried it for some time before stopping.

She wanted a place where she could just rest without talking about what she was going through, and she knew that Jasmine was not the right person. Instead, she dialed Christina’s number.

And to her surprise, the girl accepted with joy and sent her home address to her.

“Ellie! What’s wrong with you? Are you okay?” Christina asked as soon as she opened the door and saw the girl. She was happy when she called that she was coming over, but she wasn’t expecting the swollen and dark circles on her face. She had to call in sick at her office.

“I’m fine. I just came to say hello, Ellie answered, but Christina was unconvinced. She led her into the sitting room.

She sat down on the chair opposite her. “Came to say hello on a Monday morning? Are you sure you’re okay?” Christina asked again, but Ellie replied with a weak smile. “I’m fine, Christina.”

Even though she knew something was wrong, she didn’t ask any further. “OK, then. I’ll get you something to drink.” She just left for the kitchen to make tea for her.

Ellie lied down on her couch, looking up to the ceiling. The more she tried to take her mind off what she saw, the more she was baffled. “Only mom can bring light to this.”

As soon as she said those words, her phone suddenly beeped. She took it and saw that a video had been sent to her by an unknown number. She sat up and opened the video. Suddenly, a cold sweat ran out of her forehead. “Mum!” She called out with tears falling out of her eyes.

Then a message followed the video. “If you want your mother well and alive, then come to the old warehouse, almost on the outskirts of city L, alone. You should know what can happen to your mother if you try to blabber at anyone.”

“No! Please, not my mom.” She cried, but she stopped when she suddenly heard the loud sound of the tray Christina had dropped.

“Your mom got kidnapped? We need to inform the police. Christina ran to her and grabbed the phone from her before she could keep it.

She had forgotten that she was at Christina’s house. She quickly held her hand and said, “No. We won’t inform the police. I need to go myself.” She said with tears falling out of her eyes like a dam.

Christina couldn’t control her emotions. Tears were also falling out of her eyes. “Who are these people, and what do they want?”

“I don’t know. They’ll hurt my mom if they find out I informed the police.”

“Then we should tell Mr. Warren.” Christina said, but Ellie stopped her. She knew that Alex was angry at her, but she couldn’t tell him because the person who kidnapped her mom would surely know as soon as Alex heard. Something in her mind was telling her that it was Alex’s mother, but she wasn’t sure. “We won’t tell anyone, Christina. My mom is in serious danger.”

Christina wiped the tears from her face and said, “OK, fine. Then I’ll follow you.”

“No. You won’t do such a thing.”

“I can’t let you go alone. What if something goes wrong?” Ellie had no choice but to let Christina follow her; she wished she could have hidden her phone before Christina saw it. “You won’t go anywhere close to the house.” She said this while Christina nodded.

They both took the same taxi, but Christina dropped by on the way to avoid getting seen by the kidnappers. Ellie was so scared. She kept blaming herself for bringing Christina into trouble. “I won’t forgive myself if something happens to her.” She said with tears running down her eyes.

The car finally stopped in front of an old warehouse. She got out of the car, but she noticed that the car did not move. She looked back at the driver and gasped in shock.

Move! The driver commanded. That was when she realized that the driver was also working with them. But her mind only went somewhere. “Christina. What about Christina?” She asked in her mind as she walked towards the warehouse.

She walked for some minutes before she finally stopped. She was worried that something bad might happen; she quickly took her phone and called Callum’s number.

“Hello, Mr. Stewart. I’m sorry for disturbing you, but Ellie’s mom has been kidnapped. I would have called Mr. Warren, but I don’t have his number.” She explained without waiting for him to exchange greetings.

“Wait. Calm down. What do you mean by Ellie’s mom getting kidnapped?” She heard Callum ask with a worried tone.

Christina did not even know how to reply; she just burst out into tears. “Please help us.”

“Calm down, Christina. Where are you now?”

We’re at that old warehouse in City L… Before she could finish her words, he heard a sudden pause from her, followed by the end beep.

“Christina!” He called out and called the number again, but it wasn’t going through. He dashed out of the office in a hurry and called Alex right away.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

“Ellie’s mum? Where are you?” Alex asked.

“Come to the old warehouse near City L’s outskirts. I’ll get the boys there.” Callum said before hanging up.
