Miss me
How can you do this to me, Ellie? He screamed before smashing the vase onto the table in front of him on the floor. “You don’t know the gravity of what you’ve done!” He screamed as if he were talking to someone in the room.
He was still expressing his frustration at everything he came across when he suddenly heard the doorbell. Without asking or checking who was at the door, he already knew who it was.
He knew he had to run for his life as soon as possible because the rogues standing behind the door wouldn’t hesitate to kill him. He thought Ellie would have finished the job before the time the head of the rogues gave him, but he didn’t know that the plan would be ruined.
He picked up the backpack he had already packed and took the rope he planned to escape with. He was on the third floor, and he knew he had to get a rope to escape through the window.
The men behind the door had also started hitting the door with force until it finally fell to the ground. They entered the room and groaned in anger when they saw the empty room.
One of them took his phone and dialed a number. “Hello! The guy escaped.”

They both went to the hospital. Ellie had to make another dish for her mother. She knew her mother wouldn’t be able to eat Alex’s burnt pancakes.
She opened the door to the room only to see her mom wide awake. “Good morning, mom.”
“Ellie! You’re here?! You should have rested more at home.”
“How can I rest when you’re still in the hospital?” She said that, but her mom just smiled.
“Alex! Come here! How are you doing?”
“I’m fine, mom.” She hugged the woman. “How is your body?”
“I’m doing well.” Louise smiled, but her daughter cut off their mother and son’s moment.
“Mom, come on. You need to eat.” Ellie said. “But you just got here.”
“The reason why you should eat.” Ellie said with a smile, before Alex suggested. “I think you should let her rest a little.”
“How can you tell me to let her rest? She needs to eat so that the drugs can work.” Ellie replied, but Louise was just smiling at their cute argument. I’ll eat now. She said, still smiling. She noticed that they were talking well, and Ellie was smiling more than usual.
She ate, but she couldn’t finish everything because she didn’t have much appetite. Ellie just had to leave her. After some time, Alex said goodbye. He had to go to the office because of an important meeting.
Ellie wanted to escort him, but she just stayed with her mom. “Bye. Call me when you’re done.” She said it, not knowing that her mom was smiling at what she said.
She walked closer to her mom, but her eyes suddenly went to a phone on the table. “Oh! It looks like Alex forgot his phone. I’ll be right back.” She said, before running out of the room.

She quickly took the elevator and went to the first floor, but she did not see Alex. She even went outside to check on him, but she did not see him. “How is he so fast?” She said she was breathing heavily due to all the running.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Ellie! She was still standing outside when she heard a lady call her name. “I knew it. It’s you. What are you doing here?” Maltida said, scanning her from head to toe, but Ellie was just looking at her.
“Why did you resign from work? Isn’t the salary enough for you?” She scoffed. “Even if you wanted to resign, you should have told me first. How can you just leave without finishing all the work I gave you?”She was still angry that Ellie left a load of work, which she was supposed to do.
Ellie was quiet before she finally lost her cool. She had always obeyed her and collected all the files she was supposed to sort out, but hearing her talk about it as if she were right was really annoying. “And why should I tell you I wanted to resign? You think you can boss anyone, don’t you?” Ellie asked, looking at her with digestion before scoffing at her. “I should have shoved those files in your face a long time ago.”
You! Do you know who you’re talking to?! You will never be able to get a job. I’ll make sure of that.
“She doesn’t need to look for a job. Isn’t that right?” Alex asked, pulling her closer by her waist with a smile on his face.
Ellie also smiled sheepishly. She looked at the girl, who was still staring at Alex in shock. “You… you are Alex Warren.” It was only then that Alex looked at her.
Suddenly, Ellie felt a surge of anger fall on her. She remembered that the girl was always talking about the CEO of Warren Corporation, and from there, she knew the girl had a crush on Alex.
She looked back at Alex and wrapped her hands around him. “Baby, I thought you left.” She said it with a smile. “But it’s a good thing you’re still around; I’ve missed you a lot.” She pulled him closer and kissed his lips before looking back at the girl. Alex was just looking at Ellie with his eyes wide open, he was so surprised to see his little bunny that way.
“You know him?” Maltida asked with tears forming in her eyes, but she did not get any reply. At that point, she knew the best thing was for her to leave.
Baby? Alex asked with a smile. “You missed me?”
No, I was just… She looked around her, only to see different eyes looking at her. She quickly pushed him away to clean off the sweat on her forehead due to embarrassment.
No?
“No, yes, Alex!” She was so confused that she could only call out his name, but Alex was just laughing. “You forgot your phone.”
“Oh! I see.” He said with a smile. He dropped his phone intentionally because he wanted to talk to her alone about having a dinner date, but he couldn’t because that was definitely not something on her mind. He just sighed, kissed her forehead, and left, leaving her there standing like a blushing fool.

“It’s okay. You can stop now. It was only then that she stopped pushing the wheelchair.” She took her mom out on a walk when she kept complaining of being bored.
“Are you sure? You need to rest, mom.”
“I’m fine. I just need to get some fresh air.” Louise replied with a smile. “OK then,” Ellie also said, before sitting on a bench close to her mother.
They were both quiet, lost in their different thoughts, until Louise asked. So, tell me, what changed overnight?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Don’t give me that face. Call me when you’re done?” Louise smiled, hitting her back lightly. “I’m happy that you’re happy.” She said, still smiling, but her daughter was just looking down at her toes.
“I know this is too soon, but are you ready to become Luna?”
Ellie also looked up at her mom before sighing. “I don’t know, mom. I think I’m scared.”
Why? Is it because of the werewolves? I don’t think Alex would want you to live in the Supreme.
“Live in the Supreme? Do I have to live in the Supreme?”
“All Alphas of the Bluemoon Pack and Luna usually live in the supreme, but there is really nothing to worry about, Ellie.” She said this before holding her daughter’s hands. “You must not be weak. You are Aurora’s daughter, and being weak is not for you.”
We can talk about this when you’re well, mom. She said that, but her mother just smiled. “I think that’s enough. I’m feeling sleepy now.” Louise was also scared. If it were up to her, she wouldn’t let Ellie have anything to do with werewolves, but there was nothing she could do; she couldn’t hide her identity for ever, but she was happy her daughter had someone like Alex beside her.
