The Alpha’s Human Mate

In the hospital. The door opened, and Louise, who was resting on the bed, raised her body when she saw the people she had been expecting.

Oh my goodness! You’re back. She said with a smile as she tried to rise up from her bed. Ellie ran to her mother’s side and helped her up. “Mom! You should be careful!” She scolded, but her mother just smiled.

“Where is it?” Ellie rolled her eyes, knowing what her mother was asking for; she stretched the papers to her, and Louise also collected them and went through them.

“My daughter is finally married.” She said, touching Ellie’s cheeks before she finally noticed the other two people in the room.

“Oh, my dear! Christina, right?” She asked, to which Christina also replied with a smile. Yes.

“How are you doing?”

“I’m fine, ma’am. And you? How is your body?” Christina asked with a smile. She kept holding herself back from crying. She heard from Ellie that she was having cancer, and she couldn’t help but feel sad looking at the woman, but she knew she couldn’t shed a tear, at least not in front of everyone.

I’m fine. Louise replied before looking back at the other guy in the room. “I think I know your face from somewhere. Wait! Are you Christina’s boyfriend?!” She asked with raised eyebrows; she didn’t even let the both of them reply before she started making assumptions. “Wow! You two make a cute couple.”

Christina could not say a word; her cheeks suddenly became so red that she couldn’t control it, but Ellie quickly came to her rescue. “Mom, they’re not a couple.” Ellie said.

“They’re not a couple?” Louise asked, looking at Ellie before looking back at Callum. “Ain’t you Alex’s friend?”

Callum, who had been quiet since, replied. “Yes, I am.” He didn’t hate how Ellie’s mother was assuming things about him and Christina. In fact, he kind of likes it, even though he doesn’t want to accept it.

“Do you have a girlfriend?” Louise asked.

“No,” Callum replied.

“Then that’s a good thing. The two of you will make a good couple. I know destined couples when I see them. That’s how I know my daughter’s destined husband.” Louise said with a smile, but her daughter just sighed. “It’s okay now, mom. Callum and Christina just came to greet you. You shouldn’t make them uncomfortable.” She whispered to her mom silently, but only Alex and Callum heard her.

From all their discussions, Callum knew that Ellie only married Alex because of her mother. “He must be so happy.” He thought, looking at Alex, who was just making jokes and laughing with Ellie’s mom.

They talked and laughed for some time, until Christina talked about going somewhere and saying that she would come back. Callum, on the other hand, offered her a ride, which she declined, surprisingly, to everyone in the room. “I’ll drop you off. I should also get going.”

“No. It’s fine, Mr. Stewart. I can take a cab.” Christina replied with a smile.

“Taking a cab will take a long time. Let me just drop you off.” Callum offered again, but Christina, who was still taming her anger, suddenly raised her voice, yet with a smile. She hated how he was trying to act nice to her after everything that had happened, especially how he acted to her the last time.

“I told you it was fine, Mr. Stewart. Moreover, I’m not going home.” She said. She did not wait for him to reply before turning back to the people in the room. “Bye. I will come back in the evening.” She walked out of the room.

The room suddenly became silent. They were all shocked at Christina’s outburst. “I knew something was going on.” Ellie’s mother thought with a smile, but quickly stopped smiling when she saw her daughter glaring at her.

“I’ll escort you out. Remember, you need to be in the office now.” Alex said, to clear the tension in the air. He dragged Callum out, but Callum did not forget to say goodbye before going.

Outside the room.

What’s going on? Alex asked, but instead of an answer, he received a question instead.

“What are you talking about?”

“You know what I’m talking about. You and Christina. What happened?” Alex asked.

“Nothing. She’s just my employee.”

“Which you were forcefully offering a ride.” Alex asked. He knew something was wrong, and Callum didn’t want to talk about it.

“I told you there’s nothing. You should focus more on your marriage. Remember, you’re now a married man.” Callum replied with a smile before walking away. He knew staying there for one more minute would keep bringing up more questions.

Later that evening,

“Mom! I don’t want to go home. I’ll stay here with you.”

“What do you mean by that? You should go home and relax. You haven’t been sleeping well for a few days. Your face looks so pale.” Louise kept trying to force Ellie to go home. They’ve been on it for the past half an hour.

“What if you need me after I go home?”

Stop worrying so much. Didn’t you hear when Christina said she was coming? Louise asked, and Ellie just sighed. I heard, but… She knew her mom could tell Christina to go home after she leaves, and she didn’t want her mom to be alone. “Let me just stay with you for one night.”

“No. You should go home with your husband.” Louise said with a teasing smile.

Mom! As soon as she called out, the door opened, and Alex walked in. “You’re still on this. I think the both of us should just stay.”

“No. How can you say that? Both of you should go home. I’m tired of your faces.” Louise said, until she finally threw them out.

Ellie had no choice but to sigh. “I’ll just have to come early tomorrow,” she thought.

“Mom will be fine. Let me take you home first.” He said, but Ellie did not say a word. She just followed him to where he had parked his car.

The drive to her house was so quiet. Different people have their own thoughts, but the only thing on Ellie’s mind was what Sam sent her to do. “Those innocent people’s lives and my parent’s lives must be avenged tonight.” She thought, as she knew what she was going to do to avenge them.
