The Alpha’s Human Mate

The next afternoon,

Ellie had planned to pack back into her old house with her mother in the evening. She was still typing on her laptop in her cubicle when some girls came over to her with a smile.

“Hey! It’s lunchtime. You should have lunch with us.” The lady called Matilda, said. She’s also one of the employees in Ellie’s department.

Ellie looked at the two ladies. She recognized one of them, which was Matilda, as the one that gave her the file she was busy working on. It was her job to work on the file, but she gave it to Ellie. “Um, I’m sorry. I’m still working on an important file you gave me. You should go without me. Thank you.”

“Of course. Such a hard-working girl.” The other girl said, and they both smiled before walking out of the room.

The girl has been her problem ever since she joined the company. Always looking for ways to pick on her, and making her work her ass out because she’s a newbie.

She checked her wristwatch and saw that it was already time for lunch. “No wonder I feel so hungry.” She kept checking the watch when something suddenly struck her. “What are you looking at? Eat!” Those were the words that passed through her head. She couldn’t stop the memories that kept passing through her head.

She remembered how Alex would force her to eat. She has not once starved for lunch. A drop of tears suddenly dropped from her eyes, but she quickly wiped it off. “You should stop thinking about it, Ellie. You don’t need to worry about him again. You’re finally free.” She kept telling herself until she finally finished the work.

*****

Two men entered a small local bar run by an old werewolf. One of the men was wearing a moustache, and a big mole could be found on his cheeks. The other guy with a moustache was also wearing a big pair of glasses and a red cap.

They both went towards the bar counter and sat down. The bar was quiet, and there were only a few people there because the day was still bright, and it’s always like that when the day is still bright. The two men ordered the drinks from the bar attendant, even though their attention was on looking for the man they came for.

Not too long after they started drinking, an old man walked into the room with a book. He went toward his employee and gave him some instructions. And he was about to go back to the room he came out of when he heard, “What’s this? Is this what I asked for? I told you to get me red wine.” The guy with the big mole shouted at the attendant.

“I’m sorry, sir, but you told me to get you champagne. And you watched me pour it into the cup.” The bartender complained.

Are you telling me I’m lying? The guy shouted again.

“What’s going on here?” The old man asked, to which his employee also explained what happened to him. He turned to the guy with a big mole and said, “I’m sorry. He’ll get you the wine you want, sir.”

The man said before turning around to leave the room, but the man with the big mole suddenly stood up and grabbed him. “What are you doing?” The old man asked.

“Oh. I’m sorry. I’m just so happy to see you, sir. I’ve always come to this bar since five years ago, and I must say you’re an inspiration to me.” The guy said it with a big smile, while the other man sitting just scoffed. “Inspiration.”

The old man looked at the guy sitting on the chair before looking back at the one with the mole. “I don’t think I’ve seen you before.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“Oh, come on. You must have forgotten this face.” The guy saidnwith a light chuckle. “I just came to town recently, so I just came to say hello and to ask some questions.” He did not even let the man finish before he asked, “Do you know anything about the moon crystal pack? Actually, I’m trying to look for a friend.”

The old man looked at both of them for some time before saying, “Come with me.” He went toward a door. The guys looked at themselves before following him. They entered a small room that was filled with boxes and crates of drinks.

The old man walked towards the table in the middle of the room. “Sit down,” he commanded. The two of them also moved closer and sat opposite him.

“So are you going to remove the disguise or what?” The man asked.

“You knew we were in disguise?” Callum asked before removing the fake moustache and mole. Callum suggested they disguise themselves because he thought the man wouldn’t give them answers.

“Isn’t it obvious?” The man asked.

“I told you the disguise was a stupid idea,” Alex said, before removing the glasses and the fake moustache. All of a sudden, the old man burst into laughter. “Do I look like a baby? I knew your wolf was not an ordinary one, and you looked so cold. The man laughed, looking at Alex, who was just looking at him with no emotion. “You’re welcome to my small bar, Alpha. What can I do for you?”

“Do you know anything about the moon crystal pack?” Alex asked.

“Moon crystal.” The man called out. “I haven’t heard that in a while. The pack was said to be destined for a white wolf, but all of a sudden, the eldest daughter with the blood died. And no one knows how the pack suddenly got demolished.”

“Demolished? What about the alpha, or Luna?”

“The Alpha and Luna? Everything still feels like a tragedy. The whole pack got destroyed in a day.” The man explained. They talked for some time until Callum and Alex left the bar, but unknown to them, someone was watching their every move. As they entered and as they came out.

He walked into the house, looking at the silent house. He sighed and walked up the stairs. The house had never been silent and boring to him like it had been when Ellie was not there. He missed her so much that he didn’t even want to think about her.

He went to her room and opened the door. The room was clean because the maids came to the house to clean it every day. He could still smell her faint scent in the air. “I’m sorry, I’m doing this behind your back.” He said as if he could still see her in the room.
