The Alpha’s Human Mate

The next morning, Ellie woke up early to go to Stewart’s cooperation. She had been thinking the whole night about Alex that she couldn’t get any sleep. She also did not bother eating breakfast because of how worried she was.

She had to wait for Callum in the reception because it was too early for the CEO to be in the office that morning. She did not even care about the people staring at her, nor Sam or Christina, who might see her sitting there.

She waited for almost an hour before Callum finally arrived.

“Ms Loren! I wasn’t expecting to see you this morning.

“Yes. I needed to talk to you urgently,” Ellie said.

OK?

“I’ll do it. I’ll go to the dark forest and get the antidote for Alex.” Ellie said.

“Huh? Do you know what you’re talking about?” Callum asked.

“I know what I’m talking about. I can’t sit back and do nothing while Alex is somewhere suffering from my mistake.”

“I told you it wasn’t your mistake, Ellie.” He did not realize he had called her by her first name. He was frustrated that the girl kept blaming herself when it was someone who planned everything.

Despite everything Callum told her, she still did not listen. She kept insisting on going to the dark forest to get the antidote. Callum, who didn’t know how to dissuade her anymore, decided to call Maya. Maybe she could talk some sense into her.

He kept on talking to her for about an hour, until Maya walked in. “What’s going on?” She sat opposite Ellie and Callum. Anyone who saw her right then will know that something was wrong.

Ellie did not even bother to wait for Callum to talk. “I will go to the dark forest to get the antidote for Alex.” She said with no emotion of fear.

Maya was surprised; she looked at Callum, who was just staring at the both of them in silence, before looking back at Ellie. “Does this look like a joke to you?” Maya asked.

“I’m serious, Maya. I will go. Just show me the way.” Ellie said, almost begging.

“Show you the way? You must think this is an easy task, don’t you?” Maya whispered to herself, but it was enough for the both of them in the room to hear.

“Do you even know what a witch is capable of?” Maya scoffed.

Ellie became so quiet. She did not like the fact that Maya had changed for her, but she understood that it was because of her brother. She looked at Callum before looking back at her shoe. “No.” She whispered softly.

“Then why? Why do you suddenly want to go to a place that will lead to your death? And don’t you tell me it’s because of how my brother kept saving you that made you guilty, because that’s not a good excuse for you to want to get killed?” Maya said.

Ellie thought about it, but she couldn’t find anything else to say. “I don’t know.” She felt guilty, but she knew that it was more than guilt that kept pushing her. She did not understand what it was, but she just didn’t want to see Alex in pain.

“Then we’re going to the dark forest.”

“We? Are you also thinking of going? What’s wrong with the both of you? I thought you’d stop her from going, but now you want to go.”Callum burst out in shock.

“Then do you expect me to sit back and do nothing when my brother is suffering in pain? We’re going to the dark forest now. And you won’t stop us, Callum,” Maya said before standing up.

“Alex won’t want this. At least don’t include Ellie in this.”

“You heard her when she volunteered to go. Alex only has less than a day, and I won’t wait for your plan or whatever you’re thinking. I was planning on going before, but now that I have a partner.”,

Callum knew that there was nothing he could say to stop them. “Let’s get you in disguise first.” He said this before going out of the room, while Ellie and Maya also followed.

They got into Callum’s car and went to the training house, where Alex was being kept.

They knew that there would be no time again. They went into an empty room in the house.

Maya took a book out of a cross bag. It’s a witch’s book that contains spells and other things about a witch. Maya got the book from her friend because she had always been curious about other creatures.

“What do you want to do with this?” Ellie asked, looking at the book with her.

“To hide our identity. No one except black witches is found in the dark forest. And black witches can be very crazy; they kill and suck blood as soon as they know you’re not part of them, especially if you’re human.” Maya said with no emotion.

Ellie did not say anything; she just kept quiet and looked at the book. Maya took the book and started saying some strange things; she said them for some minutes before she finally stopped.

As soon as she finished, Ellie felt like something had entered her body.

“Now we’re ready,” Maya said.

“You should move now. You won’t want to go when it’s already dark here.” Callum said to them, but it was only Maya who understood what he was saying.

They left the training house and got into Callum’s car. The road from the training house to the dark forest is very far, and they had to go before it became dark.

They passed through the supreme because the dark forest was close to the supreme. The car stopped, and they got out of the car. Ellie remembered the woods as the ones she went to that night.

She felt a sudden shiver in her body, but she managed to keep her feet on the ground. They walked into the woods until they stopped in front of two tall trees opposite each other.

Maya took the book again from her bag and started casting another spell. The barrier failed at first before finally opening a second time. Maya suddenly felt weak; she almost fell to the ground, but Ellie quickly helped her.

“Are you okay?” Callum asked.

“I’m fine.” Maya answered with a low voice. She knew that such a thing might happen because the opening of the barrier might take away her energy.

“Let’s go in before it closes.” Maya said, and they both entered.

“Be careful.”
