The Alpha’s Human Mate

Mom. She opened the door and saw her mother, who was already sitting on the bed. She walked to her and sat by the bed. “Are you okay? Do you feel any pain?”

Louise smiled before holding her hands. “I’m fine, Ellie.” She wanted to ask her a lot of questions, but she couldn’t because of the place they were in and her health after what had happened.

“What are you doing? Where are you going?” Ellie asked as she saw her removing the sheets from her leg and about to stand up.

“Home.” She replied.

“Home? How can you think of going home when you’re not feeling well?!” She said this, raising her voice.

“I’m fine, Ellie.” She replied with a smile. Mom! Ellie called out. She argued with her mother until she finally agreed to let her go home. It took every ounce of courage in her not to burst into tears in front of her.

They both went out of the room. She saw Christina, who was still waiting for.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“How are you feeling, ma’am?”Christina asked as soon as she saw the woman. She was not expecting Ellie to come out of the room that early, not to mention Ms. Loren.

I’m fine, dear.

“I think you should rest properly in the hospital,” Christina suggested, while Ellie also agreed with her.

“If anyone was to rest, I think it would be you. You were also kidnapped, remember?” The woman said with a smile before touching Christina’s chin lightly. “Now, can we go home? I prefer the smell of my home to the hospital.”

Ellie had no choice but to do what her mom said. They got into the taxi in front of the hospital, but Christina insisted on going home that night. She did not want to be the third party because she knew that the mother and daughter needed time alone.

They got home, and she led her mom to the room. Despite how Ms. Loren kept telling her she was okay, she did not listen. She made sure her mom lay on the bed.

She waited in the room, looking at her mother. She wanted to ask her a question but did not want to force her. “Good night.” She stood up to leave for her room, but stopped in her tracks when she heard. “I’m sorry.”

She turned back slowly to the woman, who was already sitting up on the bed. “I’m sorry, Ellie. I should have told you, but I was scared I’d lose you.”

Ellie also sat on the bed and sighed before asking, “What do you mean by that?”

“Me and my brother, Dan, were adopted by a family of werewolves. We thought our lives would change until we realized there are other creatures apart from humans. We were treated as nothing but slaves. We work for them, and we even have to beg for food. The werewolves treat humans like trash because they are stronger than them. She paused, looking at Ellie, before continuing.

“Your mom was a werewolf, and your dad, who was my brother, was a human. Your mother fell in love with my brother the first day she set her eyes on him. She started doing everything she could to get his attention. She would steal food from the kitchen at night for us to eat. She did a lot of things for us, and along the way they started dating.” She cleared the tears on her face and continued talking.

“To be honest, I was against it because I was scared. Every pack of wolves knew me and my brother then, because it was only the Ernest household of the moon crystal pack that had humans as slaves, and if the wolves ever learned of the secret relationship, they wouldn’t think twice about killing us. They never allow mating between humans and werewolves.” She kept talking without Ellie saying a single word to interrupt her.

“Not too long after that, Aurora’s parents tried to force her into marrying a wolf, but the battle started when Aurora rejected him in front of everyone and ran away with Dan and me. That same night, I realized that she was pregnant. We had to go far away, despite having nowhere to go. We finally settled in a helper’s house and started living our lives, until… She stopped, and closed her eyes. Tears kept flowing out of her eyes, but she opened them when she felt a hand on her.

“A group of wolves attacked us, and I had to run away with you. But… Aurora and Dan.” She cried. Tears were also running out of Ellie’s eyes. She remembered what she saw. How the wolves killed her mother, and how her mother also killed herself. “I hid your identity with the help of a witch and left the city. But I came back when someone told me that I could never hide you from you.”

“What do you mean by that?” Ellie asked, and her mother replied. “I also don’t know what the person meant by that. But you are not an ordinary human.”

Ellie cleaned the tears from her face and asked softly. “How did you know Alex’s mother?” She asked because she hadn’t heard anything about her from her mother, and she did not see any woman when her mother was killed.

“Madeline was the young Luna of the Blue Moon Pack, one of the strongest packs at that time. She had always been jealous of Aurora because she thought the alpha of the Bluemoon Pack at that time liked her.”

“You mean Alex’s dad?”

“Yes,” Louise replied. She looked at Ellie for some time. She knew that she asked because of Alex. She probably did not want to hate him that much. “I don’t know who killed Aurora and Dan, so you don’t have to punish yourself, Ellie. The only thing I know about the Bluemoon Pack is that they were the ones behind the deaths of half-humans.”

“Hearing that you’re not my biological mom still feels so weird to me.” She sniffed. She wanted to cry and shout at her for hiding the truth for so many years, but she knew that the only thing she could do was to thank her and not hurt her feelings. “Thank you for being the best mom and not making me feel neglected even once.” She hugged her mother and cried in her arms until she fell asleep without knowing.

“I love you, my child.” The woman whispered. She wished she could go far away with Ellie, but she couldn’t. She couldn’t keep running away from the truth.
