The Alpha’s Human Mate

The elders stood in the halls of the room where meetings were being held. “Is he really dead? Mr. Elliot whispered.

“We will have to wait to find out who the burned bodies are.” Another man replied, while the others also nodded.

“And what if his body was found among the burned bodies?” Another man asked, but was suddenly shut off by Gabriel. “That’s enough. Are you wishing death on the Alpha?” At the sound of the man, they all kept quiet. They knew that he was the Alpha’s uncle, and even though he was not regarded as such, he still cared for the Alpha.

They were still talking when the door to the hall suddenly opened, and Elena walked in. “You are all here having your meeting when the whole Supreme is in havoc.” Without even giving them a chance to talk, she asked. “Are you planning on choosing another Alpha? You werewolves have no shame at all.”

“Mind what you say, you witch.” Gabriel warned, but Elena walked closer to him. “And what will you do?” The other elders sighed. They knew how much these two hated each other. They’re always looking for small opportunities to fight.

“That’s enough, witch. You need to learn how to be respectful. This is our pack, not your forest. One of the men said, while others laughed. Elena was just staring at them in anger, until Gabriel walked closer to her and said, “Be careful with your words, so they won’t cause your death.” He walked out of the room while others also followed, but only Elliot did not follow them. He looked at Elena, making eye-to-eye contact with her, before leaving the room.

Two days passed, and it felt like no one was living in the supreme. It was so quiet, like a graveyard, especially when the news finally came that Alex and Callum were burned to death in the fire.

Ellie has cried to the point that she doesn’t even talk to anyone. She only sleeps and wakes up, like she has no life. Christina was also by her side every time. She had been sleeping in the supreme, being by her side, even though she was also very sad.

One afternoon. She was sleeping on the bed when a maid brought her food to the room. She opened her eyes and looked at the maid, who had dropped the food on the table close to her. She whispered slowly to the maid before she stepped out. “Thank you.”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

The maid walked out of the room only to be stopped by a tall figure that was wearing black. She couldn’t see the face because of how the person bent the head with the hood, but she knew it was a human because of the long red nails. “Have you given the Luna her food?”

“Yes, but she’s asleep.” The maid answered, trying to look at the woman’s face, but she couldn’t see it. She wanted to stop her to see her face, but she knew she didn’t dare do that; she looked like a noble person, and what she said made her fearful.

“You can go. I just need to have a chat with her. And don’t think of informing anybody because Luna herself must not know someone like you knew I’m here.” The woman with the hood said, while the maid also nodded, but she waited till the maid left. She touched the door knob, opened the door slowly, and entered before someone would catch her there.

She walked into the room that looked a bit dark, but she could still see the girl sleeping on the bed. She quickly walked towards her side, making sure she didn’t make any noise, but she knew she could never wake up then because of the strong perfume she was wearing.

She took a small bottle and opened the food before pouring some contents inside. She covered the food back and was about to flee when a hand suddenly grabbed her by the wrist.

“You’re the one, right?” Ellie asked, still holding the hand but seeing the person not answering. She quickly stood up from the bed and removed the hood before anything would happen.

“I knew it. You’re the only one who has the power to do it. You were the same person that came into my dream.” Ellie screamed, but the woman quickly snatched her hand away. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, Luna.”

Ellie looked at her. She noticed that her heart was beating faster than normal. “Then tell me why you’re in this room with your face covered.” She asked, but the woman couldn’t find a word to say. “You killed the Alpha. Didn’t you?” She asked with tears, pushing her to the ground, but still she didn’t say a word.

She got so angry. She dragged her out of the room and house until they got outside, but still, the woman did not utter a word.

“Start answering my questions now, you witch.” Ellie screamed, attracting the attention of the people passing. Even some maids stood and watched the scene between Luna and the witch.

It was this that also attracted Maya and her mother, who were inside the house. “What’s going on here?” Madeline asked, walking closer to them to check on what had happened. “Elena, what happened?”

“It’s good you are all here. I found out who has been the problem with this house.” Ellie said, to which the people were just staring at her in confusion; even Christina was wondering what had happened to Ellie. It was as if Elena finally found her speech. “I don’t know what you’re accusing me of, Luna.”

“What exactly is wrong with you? Are you accusing Elena of killing Alex?” Maya asked, looking at Ellie in confusion, to which she also nodded. “Yes.”

“Isn’t this enough for you? I’m mourning my son’s death, and the only thing you could think of is to rub salt on my wound? How dare you even point fingers at Elena?! She has been by our side, especially yours!” Madeline screamed with tears, shaking her head. “My son didn’t deserve a wicked woman like you.”

“I know you don’t trust me, and it’s fine. But ask her why she was in my room with this poison. Ellie said before showing them the poison Elena was holding.

They all looked at it, and Madeline could not talk. Maya looked up towards Elena and asked, “Did you also go to her room to poison her?” Still, Elena did not say a word; she kept looking down at her toes.

“Elena! Answer the question. Tell them you didn’t.” Madeline said, walking closer to her, but was disappointed when she didn’t hear a thing. “Did you also have something to do with my brother’s death?” Maya asked.

“How do I have anything to do with the Alpha’s death?” Elena asked instead. “But still, you tried to kill me.” Ellie caught her off guard. Madeline just kept looking at her until she sighed. She didn’t hate the fact that she wanted to hurt Ellie, but she was doubting her about her son’s death. “Take her to an empty room until I think of what to do.” Madeline said, looking at the woman one last time before turning away to leave.

“No, Madeline. You can’t do this to me. I know nothing about this. Trust me.” Elena kept screaming as some maids came forward to pull her away, but before they could touch her, everything went dark. They all passed out and fell to the ground, even Ellie, Christina, and Maya.
