The Alpha’s Human Mate

She stirred in her sleep and opened her eyes slowly. She blinked several times before rubbing her eyes.

Suddenly, she stood up and looked around the room. She stood up from the small mattress and walked towards the door to open it.

But before her hand could touch it, the door opened, and Maya came in with a tray of food.

“Where is Alex? Is he okay? I need to see him myself.” She said, trying to push the door to go out, but Maya stopped her before she could leave.

“Calm down, Ellie! Alex is fine. You don’t have to worry; just eat your food.”All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Please just let me see him.” She begged, but Maya closed the door and dragged her back to bed.

“You’re still weak, Ellie. At least, eat before you see him.” Maya said. Ellie also sat down on the bed and ate in silence. She just wanted to finish the food on time and go see Alex.

But suddenly she remembered something; she looked at Maya. “What… happened in the dark forest? Just ignore it. I don’t know what it was, but I guess it was due to stress. Don’t tell Alex about it.” She stuttered; she also did not know what was going on with her, but she chose to just ignore it and not inform Alex about it.

Maya looked at her for some time before finally talking. “Ignore it? What I saw wasn’t stress at all, Ellie. And it surely isn’t something we can ignore.” Ellie did not say anything, nor did she continue eating. She just kept looking at Maya.

“I think you’re not human, Ellie.” The words kept ringing in her head.

“I’m not human?” Ellie chuckled at Maya’s words. “How can you assume such, Maya? Just ignore it. It’s nothing to stress about.” She thought Maya was making it a big deal. “What if I told her it wasn’t the first time?” She thought.

Maya sighed. “I understand. It’s hard to believe, but I will keep it a secret until we find out what caused it.”

Ellie was about to say another thing before Callum suddenly entered the room.

“How are you feeling, Ellie? Are you okay now?” Callum asked.

“Yes. I’m okay now.” Ellie replied with a smile. She did not let any of them talk before she asked, “Where is Alex? Can I see him now?” She stood up from the bed.

“Alex is fine, but you can’t see him yet. I think you should go home first.

“Go home? Is there something you’re not telling me? I just want to see him.” She said it with worry. She didn’t even know when a tear dropped from her eyes.

“No, Ellie. Nothing is wrong. Alex just needs rest.” He didn’t want her to see Alex because he was still sleeping, and she might disturb him if she saw him.

Maya also added, “You should go home and rest, Ellie. Alex is fine.”

Ellie looked at both of them before sighing. A part of her did not believe them, but she just thought of doing what they said.

“I’ll call Shawn.” He said before going out of the room. “Trust me, he’s fine. Just go home and rest.”

Shawn went to the training house and took Ellie back home.

“Did something happen in the dark forest? Why did Ellie come out unconscious?” He wanted to ignore it, but he couldn’t because of how Ellie’s body was so cold and the fact that she was the only one that came out unconscious.

“Um, she suddenly felt weak from walking, so she just passed out. I guess she was just stressed up.” She said with a smile. She did not want to tell him the truth because she needed to find out about Ellie’s identity, like Agnes said. And she knew that telling Callum about how they almost got killed would also bring about what happened to Ellie.

“Hmm. I guess she just needs to rest then.” He said before walking into the house. He did not ask any further because he thought they might have just gotten the antidote without anyone knowing about their true identity.

He walked back into the house and opened the door to the room where the man was sleeping. He opened the door slowly so as not to wake him up, but Alex still woke up.

He stirred from his sleep and looked toward the door. He groaned as he sat up from the bed, but Maya quickly ran towards him and helped him up. “Are you okay?” She asked.

Instead of answering her question, he looked at Callum and asked, “What happened?”

“You were poisoned.”

“Poisoned?” He asked. He remembered that he had gone to save Ellie, and something was injected into his body as he fought the rogues.

He also remembered that he had saved Ellie, but the only place his memory stopped was when he drove himself to the training house because of how weak and hungry he was feeling.

“Ellie! Where’s Ellie?”

“Ellie is fine.” Callum replied. That was when Alex finally relaxed.

They brought his food, and Callum also injected another portion of antidote into him before saying, “The other poisoned wolf is dead. We couldn’t get the antidote for him on time.”

“Poisoned wolf? How did that happen? Then where did you get mine?” He asked as he looked at Callum, as if he were expecting a fast reply.

Before Callum could say anything, Maya quickly burst into their conversation. “It’s nowhere, brother.”

Nowhere? He asked with doubt. He looked back at Callum and said with a commanding tone, “Start talking, Callum.”

“The poison was from the dark forest, and the antidote can only be gotten from the dark forest.” Callum said with a low voice. He wished he hadn’t told him about it.

“And who went to get it from the dark forest?” Alex asked with his piercing eyes.

“Brother! We can talk about this later. You need to rest.”

“Did you go into the dark forest?” Alex asked. He knew that it was only a woman that could enter the dark forest, and it was only his sister that could do such a thing. Sensing her silence, she asked, “What were you thinking, Maya?”

“I had no choice, brother. The poison might kill you. And I couldn’t stop myself when Ellie insisted on going.” She said this before realizing what she had done.

Alex moved closer to her and raised her chin, which was already down, up to look at him. “Did you just say Ellie? Did Ellie follow you to the dark forest?!” He asked, but he got his answers when Maya did not say anything.

Despite how weak he was still feeling, he still managed to stand up from the bed. “Where is my shirt?” He said as he looked around the room until he found a shirt.

“Calm down, Alex. You’re just recovering.” Callum said, even though he knew he wouldn’t listen.

“Just tell me where she is. I don’t have anything to say to you.”
