The Alpha’s Human Mate

“Gabriel! Tell me, this is a joke. None of this is real! You didn’t kill my son.” Madeline screamed, trying to break off the chains used in tying her. She still couldn’t believe that it was someone she trusted so much that later killed her son.

“Joke?” Gabriel asked, bursting out into laughter.

“You’re the head of the rogues that have been killing innocent lives. Maya asked, still surprised to see who it was-their uncle. “Yes. And I’m not here to answer each one of your questions. I’ve waited for so many years for this day, and finally it’s here, all thanks to you.” He said, looking at Ellie with a smile.

“Why? Why did you kill my parents? What did they do to you?” Ellie asked with tears running out of her eyes, but Gabriel just walked towards her and smiled.

“It’s such a pity you don’t know how unique your mother’s wolf was. I needed her to become the Alpha, but she was just too stupid because of love. But I guess I’m lucky again. You, another wolf like her, will be useful for me. He said, laughing, before turning to Elena. “Why’s my white wolf tied to the ground? Untie her now.” He said, to which Elena also walked towards her and untied her.

“You all sitting here know I’m the rightful owner of that Alpha’s seat, but because you think I’m not capable, You gave it to my younger brother, but now the tables have turned,” Gabriel said, before walking to the Alpha’s chair.

“You’re making a big mistake, Gabriel. We will never allow you to be the Alpha,” Elliot said, raising his voice. He knew how Gabriel had always had vicious ways until the people refused to make him their alpha.

Gabriel just kept smiling from his seat. “It’s fine if you don’t accept, but you’ll have no choice by the time I’m done with you.” He turned to Elena. “Give it to her, Elena.”

Elena also walked towards Ellie with a tray. Ellie recognized it as the same food that was poisoned by Elena, which she had refused to eat. “What are you doing?”

“Just eat it, Luna. We’re all waiting.”

“I’m not eating anything, and you won’t force me. You think poisoning me will help you become the Alpha?” Ellie asked, screaming with tears, but was surprised when she heard the man say, “Poison? You think I’ll poison you?” He asked before walking up to her. “Having a wolf who you can control to kill any creature within a split second would be the best thing to be on my side.”

“So you’re planning to bewitch the white wolf to scare us and make us do what you want?” Maya asked, to which the man also smiled. “That’s right, dear niece. Now, eat up, Luna.”

“I’m not eating anything.” Ellie screamed, while Gabriel sighed. He left Ellie’s side and walked toward people tied to the ground. Dragging her up by her hair. Christina screamed in tears. “Let go of me.”

“Eat, or I’ll kill her.” The man screamed, placing a small knife on Christina’s neck.

“Please don’t hurt her. I will eat it.” Ellie said. She quickly took the plate from Elena and opened the food to start eating. Her hand, which held the spoon, was shaking so much. Tears kept running out of her eyes as her mind drifted to Alex. She took a spoonful of food and was about to put it in her mouth when the door to the hall suddenly opened with a loud bang, and some men walked in.

Gabriel pushed Christina towards Elena so that she wouldn’t escape before walking up to the men. “How dare you interrupt me!”

“We’re sorry, sir. We found him trying to sneak into the supreme.” One of the men said, to which Gabriel also looked at the guy that was being held by the men. He looked so weak, and his head was facing downwards because of how the men had beaten him up. Even his face was bleeding.

Gabriel moved his chin up to see his face. “Alpha Darren. It’s you.”

“Darren.” Maya called out as she tried to move towards him, but her tied hands and legs couldn’t allow her.

“It’s surprising to keep seeing you here almost every time. Wait. Could it be?” he said before looking at Maya, who was glaring at him in anger. “I see what’s going on here.” He said, smiling while looking at his niece. “Beat him up.”

“No. Don’t. Please don’t.” Maya screamed, trying to break the chains on her. She didn’t care that she was caring for him in front of everyone, but she felt so angry to see the men beating him to the point that blood was coming out of his face.

Ellie also tried to stop them, but she was held back by a man. Even the elders could not move an inch. Gabriel just kept laughing in his seat until another loud sound came from the door.

They all looked towards the door to see who it was and were shocked.

Darren, who had also been beaten to stupor, looked towards the entrance and said before falling to the ground, “Took you long enough.”

Alpha! The elders called out in shock, but the man did not even look at them; instead, he walked closer to Darren. “Callum kept telling us to wait for an unknown reason.”

Darren also looked up at them and smiled despite the pain he was going through.

“You… are alive?” Gabriel said it with a stammer. He suddenly became scared. He quickly rose from the chair. “How?” He asked, but instead of getting an answer, he heard Ellie chuckling. “It looks like our acting was better.”

“You knew?” Gabriel asked, still surprised but scared at the same time.

Flashbacks.

The night of that day, she went to the dark forest with Maya, where Alex came looking for her. She didn’t feel like herself because she couldn’t stop thinking that she had killed a wolf. She slept with Alex by her side before she woke up again because of a dream she had about Sam. She got out of bed and went downstairs to look for Alex, but she did not find him.

She later saw a maid who told her he was in his study room. She went there and saw that he was talking to Callum. “What’s wrong? Are you okay?” Alex asked, seeing that she was sweating and looking worried.

“I had a dream. I saw how Sam was killed.” She said, almost in tears, but was doing everything to hold it back. “I think I know where he was killed.” She remembered that she saw a box with the name of a cafe, and it was strange to her how she could still remember it vividly. Alex just walked up to her and hugged her. She cried for some time until she finally stopped.

“The only reason why my parents were killed was because the person needed my mom, probably because she was a werewolf. Did you see how that rogue did today? It wasn’t planned to hurt me.” Ellie said, looking at the both of them.

“You’re right.” Callum said, reasoning with what she was saying. They all kept quiet for some time until Callum suddenly snapped. “An alpha with a white wolf by his side is surely a big power.”

“What are you saying?” Alex asked, to which Callum quickly walked up to him. “What if this person is trying to become the Alpha, because that’s the only reason I see here, especially with the not-hurting white wolf part?”

Alex did not say anything; he just smiled, shaking his head. How come he didn’t think about this a long time ago? “How about we make the person reveal himself?” Alex said, grinning at the both of them. He told them about his plan. He pretended to be dead with Callum.

“OK, but what if something goes wrong? I mean. They have a witch among them. What if this person is as strong as Elena, or is even Elena?” Callum said, to which Ellie also nodded. “Can’t we look for another way?”

“Let’s try this first, Ellie.” Alex said, holding her hand with his and kissing it. “That’s why we need someone as strong as Elena.” Alex said, looking back at Callum before saying, “Let’s talk more about this tomorrow.
