The Alpha’s Human Mate

Outside the training house. They both stood outside, staring at the trees, blowing in different directions with the breeze. After some time, Callum looked at him and asked, “Have you told her?”

Alex also looked back at him before replying, “No. After everything that has happened, it will break her if she knows that he’s dead.” He knew that Ellie still cared about him, even though he turned out to be what she didn’t expect.

“But she still needs to know. What if she gets angry that you kept it away from her?” Callum said, only to find Alex sighing in frustration.

“That’s even the least of my worries.”

“What happened?” Callum asked, but instead of answering him, Alex said. “Get the elders together in the supreme and tell them that Luna’s ceremony will be held in two days.”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“The Luna’s ceremony?! In two days? Isn’t that too fast?” Callum asked, surprised.

“Nothing is too fast. The preparation should be fast and get done in two days. And mind you, the event should go as it’s supposed to. Don’t make it boring because it was rushed.” Alex said before taking a step forward to leave, but he stopped as soon as he remembered something.

As if the shocking news wasn’t enough for Callum, he heard. “And also, renovations should be done. Ellie and I will be moving in after the ceremony.”

“What? Moving in?” He asked, walking closer to him, but Alex did not say a word; he just entered his car and drove off.

The meeting halls in the Supreme have always been noisy whenever an urgent meeting was called, but this time around it was different. “What does the alpha want again this time? I hope this is not about his fated mate.” The murmurs were so loud that it felt like they were all arguing.

Suddenly, the big doors of the room opened, and they all became quiet, fearing that the alpha had entered. They all bowed their heads before they saw who it was. “You! You scared us!” They lamented, some touching their chests.

“Why were you scared? Were you saying something against the alpha?”

“What? No.” They all replied before they suddenly went quiet. They all knew the kind of trouble they could get into if the alpha heard them. Callum also did not say anything; he just shaked his head in pity, until a man with a big mole close to his ear, called Elliot, asked, “Where is the alpha?”

“He’s not here, but he sent me to deliver a message to you.”

“Then, if you’re here to deliver a message, do it on time. We all have important things to do,” Gabriel said with an irritating expression. Callum just looked at him and sighed before looking away. The man had always been so annoying to him. “The Luna’s ceremony will be coming up in two days.”

They all raised their eyebrows in shock, until one of them broke the silence. “What do you mean by that? Has the alpha found another mate?”

“No.” Callum answered, but before he could finish his words, the elders had already started murmuring. “Then does the alpha expect us to accept a half-human as the Luna? That is impossible!” They kept grumbling amongst themselves, but Callum just shaken his head; he knew they didn’t have the spine to say it to Alex’s face; they could only say it behind his back.

“You all should calm down.” Callum said, trying to stop them from arguing with each other or saying a word that could implicate them.

“Calm down?! How can you tell us to calm down? A half-human cannot be our Luna.” Elliot said, looking at the other elders to back up his words, which they also did. “We can’t allow that.” They all said.

Callum just looked at them and smiled. He walked to Elliot and patted his shoulders lightly. “Then tell it to the Alpha’s face.” He walked out of the room, leaving the men in anger.

“How dare that beta try to insult me?” He groaned in anger before turning to the other men in the room. “We need to find a way to stop this.”

Callum could not help but keep laughing as he walked to his car. The angry faces of the elders just kept popping up in his head. He was about to enter his car when he heard, “Callum! Hey!” He looked back and saw the girl running towards him. “Oh, my goodness,” she said, banging her chest to catch her breath as she talked.

“Are you okay?” Callum asked, knowing that werewolves don’t lose their breath easily. She looked like she had run a mile.

“I’m fine.” She also replied with a smile. “What are you doing here? I heard there was a meeting with the elders. Is Alex here?”

“No.” Callum answered, knowing that she wouldn’t rest until she heard what he came for.

“Then what are you doing here? Why did you hold a meeting alone with the elders?” She asked with curiosity, expecting an answer from him, only to find him laughing. “It must have been so boring here for you, right? Since when did you start getting concerned about meetings?” He said, knowing that she didn’t have anywhere else to go than the big, boring house. But Maya snapped. “Just answer my question, Callum.”

“Fine. The Luna’s ceremony will be held in two days.” Callum said this to Maya’s surprise. “What? The Luna’s ceremony?” Ellie finally agreed. She asked, surprised, knowing that she was not on good terms with her brother.

“Yes. So stop poking nose around and get ready. It will stop getting boring for you after that day.” Callum said with a smile before entering his car, but Maya was just smiling, even though she didn’t understand what he meant in his last words.

“I can’t believe Ellie finally agreed.” She just watched the car leave the compound before she suddenly remembered something; her smile turned to a frown at once.
