The Alpha’s Human Mate

“Intruders.” The witches said in shock. They all moved backwards in an attempt to attack soon.

“A werewolf and a human?! How dare you come into the dark forest?!” Damien asked, raising his voice at them. “We will make sure we use both of you as an example to the other people out there.”

“Kill them.” Some witches that came to see what was going on screamed, while others also screamed with rage. “No, burn them alive.”

Ellie was so scared; she had started to think about a lot of things if she died there. Alex, her mother, and her friends. Tears were already falling out of her eyes.

Maya knew that they had to run for their lives. She couldn’t change into her wolf form to fight them because there were too many. They would later defeat her and kill her before she would even get the chance to hurt two of them.

The black witches had hated the werewolves for years, and even if they let Ellie go, they could never spare Maya’s life.

Maya grabbed Ellie’s hand and turned around to run for their lives, but everything happened so fast.

Sabrina, who had already changed into her witch form, knew that they were intruders in the first place. She had been suspecting the human girl that was shivering in fear, she knew she was hiding something.

Sabrina dashed towards the human girl to strangle her with her long, curved nails, but before she could touch or get close to her, she suddenly fell.

She screamed as she fell backwards with a loud sound. It felt like something strong came with the breeze and pounced on her.

The witches screamed at the sight of what was going on. Sabrina, the daughter of the head witch, was in pain. Her face and body were being scratched by an unseen creature. “Help! Someone help!” The girl screamed, touching her face and body.

Damien ran to his sister in fear, but he was speechless; he could not even touch her. Her face was covered in blood, and there were scratches and big marks on her face and body that kept appearing.

“Sabrina!” He called out, but he could not put his hands on her.

He looked up at the human girl, and he saw something even more shocking. Her eyes had turned green, and her hair was flowing backwards with the breeze. Her eyebrows raised upwards, and she was glaring at Sabrina in rage with her green eyes.

The other witches wanted to move close to her, but none of them could because they didn’t know what had possessed the girl.

“Someone stop her. She’ll kill my sister.” Damien said with worry on his face. He also couldn’t move close to the human girl.

“Ellie.” Maya, who suddenly woke up from her daze, walked up to her slowly and called out calmly, but it seemed like the girl was not in control of herself.

Maya was also shocked to see Ellie in this new form. She didn’t know what it was that possessed her, but she couldn’t allow her to kill the witch.

Ellie! She called out, touching her arm, but she realized that her body was so cold.

She raised her eyebrows and looked at the girl. Ellie! Snap out of it! She shouted, shaking her as if to pull her down. She was more scared that something might happen to her.

Suddenly, the breeze stopped, and Ellie fell to the ground. “Are you okay?” Maya asked with worry. She touched her body and saw that her temperature was coming back to normal.

Instead of answering the question, Ellie looked towards the witch lying on the floor and asked, “What happened?”

The witches ran to Sabrina and helped her up. None of them could say anything or move close to the human. They were all scared for their lives. They took Sabrina, who was crying and wincing in pain, away to go take care of her.

“We don’t know who you are, but you tried to kill the head witch’s daughter. Now it’s only the headwitch that can punish you.” Damien said. Even though he was still scared about the two girls, he still needed to keep his dignity.

“Let’s go. We’re going to the head witch.” None of them could touch them. They only directed them; some witches walked in front of them, while others walked at the back so that they wouldn’t escape, but none of them laid a single hand on them.

Maya, who was helping Ellie to walk, just kept thinking about what had happened. She kept looking at Ellie as they walked slowly.

“I’m sorry.” She heard Ellie whisper with a sad smile, but she couldn’t find any reply for her.

They walked for some time. They’ve already left the market, and they were being directed into the forest until they finally got to a small, ugly hut. “So this is where their headwitch lives,” Maya thought.

*****

On the other side of the barrier. In the training house.

Callum walked into the room and saw the wolf that was lying down on the ground. The growling had stopped, and it was only groaning on the ground in pain.

Callum knew that the poison was already affecting his system, and he didn’t have much time. He kept blaming himself for not acting quickly on the matter. But now that it had gotten worse, he could only pray that Maya would come back with the antidote.

Callum kept pacing up and down in the room. It was almost getting dark, and he was worried that Maya and Ellie may have been captured by the witches.

At the same time, worried that they may not make it on time if they’ve already gotten the antidote.

He looked at Alex, who was groaning weakly on the floor. “Nothing must happen to you, Alex. We need you the most right now.”

He wished he could go into the forest, but it’s impossible because a man can only enter the dark forest if the barrier breaks completely.
