The Alpha’s Human Mate

She woke up the next morning feeling so tired. As much as she wanted to leave the hospital, she couldn’t because of how weak she was feeling.

She did not understand why Alex wasn’t allowing her to go or the fact that he hadn’t shown up since yesterday morning.

“Why keep me here when he knows that he is going to see his lover?” She said to herself, cleaning the tears that were on her face.

Then suddenly. Lincoln knocked on the door and entered. How are you feeling, ma’am? He asked, but Ellie only gave him a weak smile.

He changed her drip for a new one. He would have asked a nurse to do it, but he knew the kind of trouble he could get into if he allowed anyone to treat her.

“When will I get discharged?” She asked. She thought maybe she could leave the hospital with the help of the doctor, but she knew otherwise when she heard, “Your body is still weak, ma’am, and you need to finish your treatment.”

“But I can inform Mr. Warren if you’d like to get treatment at home.” The doctor said with a smile. He thought that the lady was tired of the hospital and probably wanted to go home.

She did not bother saying a word to the doctor. She accepted her fate and kept looking at the ceiling in silence.

She didn’t know when she fell asleep, but she woke up only to see a pair of eyes staring at her. “What are you doing here?”

“You’re awake.” Maya said with no emotion in her eyes. She watched as Ellie sat up, despite the difficulty.

“Why are you here?” Ellie asked, not wanting to see her or her brother.

“You have to calm down, Ellie.” Maya said. She heard from Callum that Alex had lost his pup.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“Calm down?” Ellie caught her off. “Did you just tell me to calm down? Your brother is keeping me here against my will, and you told me to calm down.”

“He is doing all this for a reason, Ellie.” Maya said. She wished she could explain everything to her, but she knew she wasn’t in the position to do that.

A reason? Ellie sneered, tears running down her face. “It’s all his fault. Everything. My child’s death. Everything is his fault.” She screamed, but suddenly Maya snapped at her.

“That’s enough! You think everything is his fault. Fine, it is. But do you think you’re the only one hurting? You think he doesn’t care about the baby?” Ellie asked, but she did not get a reply. “He’s also hurt and in pain. But he couldn’t even show it because he wanted you to recover from the pain.” Maya paused.

She knew that talking to her with ease wouldn’t work. “You really want to get out of here and his life. Don’t you?” Maya asked, but she sighed and shook her head in mockery.

“Have you ever wondered why all this is happening to you? Why doesn’t Alex want you to go even after the contract is over? Maya asked, but she did not get any reply, only a look from her.

She sighed before standing up from the chair. “In the werewolf world, A wolf is given a mate, whom he’s supposed to live and stay with forever, whether chosen or fated. You might not really understand because you know nothing about wolves; just think of a mate as a spouse, even though it’s more than that. But I’m not here to explain what they mean.”

Maya paused before looking at the girl to notice her expression. “As I’ve told you before, Alex has a chosen mate and a fated mate. Sophie is just a chosen mate. Who do you think the fated mate is, Ellie?” Maya asked with a sneer.

Ellie could not say a single word. Even though she did not understand what she was talking about, she knew that it meant a spouse, but a fated one.

She was quiet for some time, noticing the expression on Maya’s face. That’s not possible! Ellie said, looking at Maya for a reply, but she did not get any.

“I’m human. That is impossible!” She said this, holding her chest as if to stop the heavy breathing. She knew that it was probably a lie. There was no way a human could be fated to be a werewolf.

“I told you this just so I could get you out of the dark, not that Alex was ready to say a thing to you.” Maya said. She knew that telling Ellie the truth was the only thing that could make her stay, and telling her then was the right time before it became too late.

“This is not possible. There must have been a mistake,” Ellie said to herself.

“You crazy bitch! How dare you call me? After you messed up the plan, The only thing you could think of was to call me!” Sophie screamed over the phone. She had just heard from a nurse in the hospital where Ellie is being treated that she was still alive, and it was only the baby that died.

“I don’t know how it happened, but I poured the whole contents into her food.” Belinda said over the phone, scared that Sophie could harm her mother if she angered her more.

“If she really poured the whole content. How come she didn’t die?” Sophie asked herself. She knew that even a small powder of medicine could destroy her, but she did not understand how she was still alive.

Belinda, who was running out of time, quickly said, “I need to get out of this country soon. I can’t go anywhere because the whole city is looking for me.” She saw the news that anyone who found her would be given a reward. She knew that she couldn’t leave the country because she’d be caught. She regretted ever accepting the deal.

“My mom and I need to leave. Please just let go of my mom. She’s really sick.” Belinda begged. She thought that Sophie was going to pay for her mother’s health. But she knew that everything had taken a turn when Sophie kidnapped her mother.

“You need to calm down, girl. You know how powerful Alex is in the country. Any single mistake will bring an end to your life. I’ll look for a way to get you and your mother out.” Sophie said and hung up before the girl could say a word.

Sophie also knew that the whole city was looking for Belinda, and they might even get her soon.

“I need to finish her and her mother before anything bad happens.” Sophie said to herself, She knew that the only thing she could do was to kill Belinda. After all, she wouldn’t be able to get her out of the city, not to mention the country.

“You got lucky this time, Ellie. It’s a good thing you lost that pup in you.” She said.
