The Alpha’s Human Mate

Sam never thought that Ellie would ever call her; he had been trying to talk to her ever since he told her his feelings. “I see that you’ve been doing well.” Sam said, looking at the man, sitting at a table across them, before looking back at Ellie. He was wondering who the man who brought Ellie in a luxurious private car was.

Shawn was also looking toward their side, even though he could not hear what they were talking about. He just kept his gaze on them, despite Sam’s stare at him. He didn’t want to be there, but there was nothing he could do.

Seeing that she wouldn’t say anything, he decided to just leave the man staring at them and get to the main point. “If there’s something going on, I think you should talk to me about it. You don’t have to avoid me, Ellie.” Sam said, looking into her eyes. “That was why I didn’t tell you anything. I knew that it was going to affect our friendship.”

Before she could answer or say anything, her phone suddenly vibrated. She checked it and saw that it was Christina.

“Hello. Mr. Stewart is about to leave the company,” Christina said. She had been keeping her eye on Callum until she finally saw that he was about to leave. Despite how she had been avoiding him ever since the last incident, she still managed to see him and do it for herself.

Ellie knew that she had to leave instantly if she wanted to catch up with him. “I’m sorry, Sam. I need to do something important.” She wished she could stay and talk about them, but she couldn’t.

“What’s going on?” Sam asked. He noticed that she had been looking at her phone ever since he started talking.

“I will explain everything to you later. But right now, I need your help.” She whispered.

She stood up to leave for the bathroom, but before she could leave, Shawn suddenly blocked her. “Where are you going, ma’am?”

“What are you doing? I’m going to the restroom, or do you want to follow me?” She asked.

“No ma’am.” Shawn said before going back to his seat.

He waited for some minutes, until he started suspecting that something was wrong. He stood up to go check on her in the restroom, but before he could leave, Sam suddenly blocked his way.

“Where do you think you’re going, mister?” Sam asked. Even though he did not understand what was going on or who the guy before him was, he just found himself doing what Ellie asked without questioning her.

Shawn, without saying a word, suddenly punched him in the face, attracting the attention of other customers. He ran to the restroom and searched everywhere, but he did not see her.

He dashed towards Sam, who hadn’t recovered from the first punch, and punched him again. He knew that he had something to do with her escape, but he just left him alone because of the screams in the restaurant, and he had to look for her.

Shit! He took his phone and dialed Callum’s number.

Hello. He heard Callum say it over the phone.

“Ms. Loren has escaped.”

“Escaped?! How can you let that happen, Shawn? Find her before anything goes wrong.” Callum said before hanging up. He stepped on the gas and accelerated rapidly to get there on time.

*****

As soon as Christina called Ellie back to tell her the route Callum had taken, she quickly drove the car and followed the route; she intentionally chose the restaurant because it wasn’t far from Stewart’s cooperation.

Not too long. She saw his car.

She drove slowly, leaving a car between them to avoid suspicion. She asked Sam for his car because she knew she wouldn’t be able to catch up with Callum if she took a taxi. She was happy the restaurant was a big one, which made it easier for her to pretend to be like one of the employees and pass through the backdoor of the restaurant.

“Let’s see where you’ve been keeping Alex.” She whispered to herself, putting all her attention on the car she was tailing. She also stepped on the gas when she saw that his car was already moving faster.

She drove for almost an hour. The sky was already getting dark when his car stopped in the middle of a forest.

She parked her car far away from where he would see her; she hid behind a tree and watched him get out of the car. She remembered what had happened to her the last time she went to the woods alone in the night; she didn’t want that incident to happen again, so she was having a fight with her mind about whether to follow Callum or go back.

“No. I didn’t make all those plans, just to throw them away.”

“This is for Alex.” She whispered before following him. She followed him for a minute before Callum suddenly looked back.

Callum, who was suspecting that something was going on, suddenly looked back, but he did not see anything. He used his sense of smell, but he did get any creature’s smell, either a witch, a human, or a werewolf like him.

“Oh my goodness! That was close.” Ellie sighed in relief and touched her chest. It was as if she knew he would turn his back; she just found herself hiding behind a tree all of a sudden.

After walking for some minutes, he finally stopped in front of an old house with some dull light bulbs in front of it. “Is he hiding Alex here?”

She saw a huge man come out of the house. He said something to Callum, and they both entered. “How will I get into the house?” She thought, looking at the house from where she was. It had already become so dark that it was only the light from the house that could be seen in the forest.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

She moved away from the tree to go closer to the house and look for a backdoor, but she hadn’t taken up to two steps when something unexpected suddenly happened.

She didn’t know that she had stepped on a piece of wood that was covered in grass. She screamed as she fell into a dark hole. Ahhh!

Her heart was beating so fast because of the fall and fear. She waited for some minutes to recover from the fall until she remembered that she had no time. “I have to save Alex.” She whispered with tears in her eyes. She was so scared, but the only thing she could think of was Alex. She did not understand why she was so worried and sad that she did not see him, maybe because she suspected Callum of kidnapping him.

She managed to get herself up from the cold, dark floor.

She searched her pocket and was thankful that her phone was with her, even though the screen had broken due to the fall.

She turned on the torchlight on her phone and gasped at what she saw. “A tunnel.” She whispered lightly.
