Madeline
The door was pushed open, and a witch covering her head entered the big room. A man could be seen sitting at a high table, far away from the rogue werewolves that were standing by his two sides. The man’s face could not be seen because of the hood covering his head and bowed face.
He was the leader of the rogues, and no one had seen his face. Even the other important rogues in the room have never seen his face. They don’t know who he was, nor do they know who the witch was. It was only the secretive rogues and high-ranking ones that had seen the witch.
“The job is done.” The woman said with her head bowed.
The man was quiet for some time before he finally said, “That’s good. Now, everything will be the way I want it.”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
The woman nodded her head and replied. “Yes.” She was about to take a step backwards to leave the room when she suddenly remembered something. “I think I should inform you of the information I got from the wolves.” She did not want to talk without asking for permission because she knew the kind of trouble she could get into.
“Speak!” The man commanded.
“The human eyeballs changed color. It turned green.” The woman said.
“Green? How is that possible?” The man asked in surprise.
“I also don’t know.” She answered; she was also surprised when the rogues told her.
“They must have been mistaken. There’s no way that can happen.” He said before dismissing her. You can go. The woman bowed her head and hurried out of the room.
“Green? That is not possible.” He thought.

The next morning, she woke up and had her bath before going downstairs to eat breakfast. She was surprised she later slept last night, because she was so scared that sleep was far away from her.
She thought maybe Alex had come back to the house, but she was surprised when the butler told her that he wasn’t back.
She sat down and ate her food in silence. She was so worried; she couldn’t get through to him because his phone had been switched off.
She was about to finish her breakfast when she heard some noise coming from outside. Not long after, the door opened, and a woman entered.
“Mr. Warren is not around, ma’am.” Shawn, who was trying to stop her from entering the house, said.
“Are you telling me to leave? Do you know who you’re talking to?” The woman raised her voice at him.
“I’m sorry, ma’am.” Shawn said, bowing his head to avoid more trouble. The woman walked up to the dining room. Ellie had also stood up from her seat; she wanted to see who was making so much noise.
She was surprised to see the woman who was making the noise. They both stared at themselves for some time before Ellie finally said, “Good morning.” The face was familiar to her, but she couldn’t remember where she had seen her.
“You’re not even more than this.” The woman scoffed before turning to Shawn, who was still behind her. “Get me a cup of coffee.”
Without saying anything to Ellie, Madeline walked to the living room to have a seat. Ellie, who was still wondering what was going on, just followed the woman. “Are you going to keep standing, or you’ll take a seat?” Madeline snorted. She came to the house intentionally because she heard from Maya that Alex wasn’t home; she then used that opportunity to come and see the human girl face-to-face.
Ellie also sat down on a chair far from hers. Just then, Shawn brought her coffee and placed it on the table. He also took another seat and sat down.
“What are you doing here? You can go.” Madeline screamed at Shawn.
“My job is to protect Ms. Loren at all times. That’s an order from Mr. Warren.” He said, looking at the woman without any fear.
Madeline scoffed. “You don’t think I might snap her head off, do you?” Ellie, who was just looking at them, felt scared when she heard what he said.
“It seems you’re forgetting your place.” Madeline said it with no emotion in her eyes. Shawn just sighed before turning to Ellie. “Call me if you need anything, ma’am.”
Ellie was even more scared when Shawn left her all alone. She looked at the woman in front of her and stuttered. Do I know you, ma’am?
“Do you know me? What a stupid question to ask.” She said, sipping her coffee. “You’re just a weak human, so I won’t be surprised if you don’t know me. I’m Alex’s mother.”
Ellie got even more scared. The queen of wolves was in front of her. How dare she not be terrified? “What is she doing here?”
Without wasting any time. She started talking because she thought that Alex might come anytime before she finished. “You have such a terrible fate. And I won’t allow you to destroy my son’s life. I know humans like you. You think you can trap him because he has fame and wealth?” Madeline scoffed. “Then you must be joking.”
Ellie did not say a word; she could not even look her in the eye because of her intimidating eyes. “You will reject my son as your mate, and you’ll make sure he accepts the rejection.” Madeline said she did not care about what would happen to her after the rejection.
All she wanted was for her son to marry into an important and affluent family so that a real white wolf would be produced. After all, she’s just a white wolf with blue eyes, even though her fur is not completely white.
“Reject? How does it work?” She asked calmly; she knew that the woman was talking about leaving Alex, but she did not want to ask her about the mate bond.
Madeline sighed; she had forgotten that she was talking to a human who didn’t know anything about them. She explained to her how she would reject him and that she must make Alex accept the rejection.
Ellie could not say a word. “Why did Alex hide this from me?” She asked herself. She has tried everything and checked everywhere just to destroy the mate bond; she even believed in a dream and almost got killed, all because of the mate bond. She never thought it would be a simple thing.
“Reject him, and let this rubbish end once and for all.” Madeline stood up to leave. She was about to walk out when she turned back and said, “You won’t want to mess with me, girl.”
“How come all these werewolves are so intimidating? Does she think I like being trapped here?” She said this to herself after Madeline had gone.
“Speaking of Alex. Where has he been since all these days?” She knew that something was going on. The Alex she knew would have come as soon as he realized his mother was in the house. “I’ll need to go to the company myself.”
