The Alpha’s Human Mate

His teasing and smile were something that kept on making her mad. She wished she could turn back the time to when she first lost her job, she would have stopped herself from going to the club that night, and she wouldn’t have to meet Alex, not to talk of getting pregnant for him.

The thing that got her more mad was that he kept his eyes on everything she did; he wanted to know what she was eating, how she was feeling, and even what she was thinking. Despite her disapproval and screams, he still got worse than before.

Three days later, It was finally time for the party his mother hosted. He doesn’t want to go, but because of his mother’s threat of her coming to his house, he decides to just go so that she won’t find out about Ellie.

The party is located on the outskirts of City L, and it will take about an hour before he gets there.

“Hello! Maya! I want you to come and keep Ellie’s company till I come back,” Alex said over the phone. Even though Ellie has not been talking to him like before, she only answers questions when asked. He couldn’t help but get worried that she might try to run away when he leaves.

He knew that she was a smart woman, and not that she could overcome the guards outside, but anything could happen. He also felt that she might need someone to talk to, and it was only Maya he could think of.

“Ellie’s company? What do you mean by that?” Maya asked, surprised at his request.

“Anything that means you should come here right now and stay with her till I come back!” Alex said it with a commanding tone.

“What?! Do I look like a maid? Don’t you know that my mother is hosting a party, and I have to help her with things? How can you ask me to come and keep your friend’s company?” She asked, still surprised by what he was asking for.

“I never said you were a maid.” He sighed before continuing. “Just come and stay till I come back; that’s all I’m asking for, and I won’t even take long.”

“Are you scared she might run away? Your house is so big, with tight security. There’s no way she can run; you should really let her do what she wants and stop forcing her.” Maya said with a voice that indicated how irritated she was.

Maya! He called out her name. He knew that she was not going to agree, but if he persuaded her, she would surely come.

“Fine, I’ll come.” She said before Alex hung up.

He went outside so that he could leave as soon as possible, but he saw Callum, who was already waiting for him beside the car. “What are you doing here?” Alex asked, surprised that he was there when he was supposed to be at the party.

“Oh, I thought we should go together.” Callum said it with a smile, but Alex didn’t say anything. He just went to the other side of the car and opened the door before he heard Callum ask, “What about Ms. Loren? I should say hello before we go.

Alex closed the car door and said, “You should have said that before. Go in and see her, then come back and go through the biggest pain of your life. He said and gave a smile, which Callum understood very well.

“I think I’ll just make it another day.” Callum said with a chuckle. He knew how possessive his friend could be over Ellie, and he dared not try to test him. They entered the car, and the driver drove out of the house.

“Wait what? Maya is going to your house to keep Ms. Loren’s company. I thought you didn’t trust anyone when it came to Ms. Loren.” Callum asked, but he didn’t get any reply; the man he was talking to was just resting his back with his eyes closed.

“Are you really that scared to let her go out alone? She has been living her life even before you guys met. Just give her some space.” Callum said.

Alex suddenly opened his eyes and turned toward him. “First, I’m not scared, and I’ll never be. Second, I’m only doing everything to protect her, and I’ll continue to do that.”

“That’s too much, if you ask me.” Callum said, only to receive a glare from him. He just sighed and kept quiet to avoid saying anything that would upset him.

After some time, Alex asked, “Any news about the rogues?”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“They know we’re onto them. No attack since the past two weeks,” Callum answered.

“We should not let our guard down; they might be planning to launch a big attack. We already know there’s a spy, whether in the pack or from the other packs.”

“Yes, you’re right; catching the spy is what should be our priority right now,” Callum said, while Alex only nodded his head in agreement.

The remaining journey was filled with nothing but silence.

Ellie took her bath and decided to watch some movies since Alex, who would disturb her peace, was not around. She decided to watch the movie in the living room. She prepared the popcorn and blanket for her movie night. Even though it had not become so dark, she decided to just watch the movie so early and go back to bed before Alex came back.

She was already so engrossed in what she was watching when she heard the door suddenly open. “Ellie!” Maya called out with a smile.

“Maya! What are you doing here?!” Ellie asked with a smile. She was happy to see her and, at the same time, surprised.

“I came here to keep your company, just like my brother asked me to.”

“Alex sent you here? To keep my company?” Ellie asked in confusion.

“Yes,” Maya answered. “What are you watching?” Maya asked, looking at the big screen in front of her, but the girl was less bothered about that.

“I can’t believe that guy; he even sent you here just to keep an eye on me.” Ellie said. She was amazed to see that Alex didn’t even want her to go anywhere without him.
