The Alpha’s Human Mate

He took a cold shower as soon as he got into the room. He tried to stop thinking about Ellie, but he failed; he found himself thinking about her in her small bum shorts, which showed her white thighs. Slowly, his mind drifted to the first night he spent with her.

When he couldn’t take it any longer, he went to his study room. Maybe it would help. He thought about it for some time before he finally got all his attention to his work. He was still working when his phone suddenly rang. “Gregory has escaped,” Callum said, without wasting time to greet him.

“Escaped?! How is that possible? How did he escape?” He was surprised at first to hear what Callum said.

“I’m also not sure how he escaped, but he slit one of the men’s throats who was watching him.” Replied Callum.

“Let the boys raid the forest. He couldn’t have gone far, and also get the CCTV footage ready. I’ll be there soon.” He said before closing his laptop at once. He checked the time and saw that it was already three in the morning. He took his phone and left the house immediately.

Alex and Callum both watched the footage and saw that a man was trying to kill Gregory with a knife before he defended himself and slit the man’s throat. “How come the man is trying to kill him? Who is he?” Alex asked.

“He’s one of the men who were supposed to watch Gregory.” Callum said this before sitting on a chair.

“So he’s one of our guys. Then what about the remaining men? Is he the only one watching Gregory?”

“No. I was told he deceived the other men, and that was the second time he would do something like that. He did the same thing last night, but there was no footage.”

“He deceived them! Are they stupid?” Alex said in anger. “Does that mean the person who sent Gregory to kill Ellie is also the one who sent someone to end him?”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“I’m afraid so,” Callum said. “I thought this matter was just a light one, but now I know it’s more than I thought.”

“You need to keep Ellie safe, because we don’t know who this person is, nor do we know their next plan,” Callum suggested.

“Make sure the other men pay for being so foolish.”

“You can’t blame them for their foolishness,” Callum joked, but stopped when he heard. “You’re right. I should blame you instead.” Alex left the house.

The next morning,

She quickly took a bath and went through her wardrobe. She took some casual clothes and wore them. She had been thinking about how to tell Alex about where she was going, despite the deal they made together.

She finally made up her mind and went downstairs, but she realized from the maids that Alex had gone out early in the morning. “That’s great news. I don’t have to worry about informing him.” Ellie said, happily.

She left the house without eating her breakfast. She was looking forward to going out of the house and taking a cab. When suddenly a car honked at her, a young, handsome man with nice black hair and a black suit came out of the car. “Good morning, ma’am. My name is Shawn, and I’m your new guard and also your driver.”

She was surprised to see that her driver had been changed and, at the same time, worried that Alex might have changed him so that he could spy on her.

“It’s not like he’s going to tell Alex whoever I meet, right?” She thought, looking at the guy. “He looks too good to be a person like that. She smiled lightly and entered the car.

The car was parked in front of the restaurant where she and Sam had planned to meet. Despite how she doesn’t want people to see her in the car, she still had to get out of the expensive car because her guard must obey Alex’s rules about dropping her wherever she’s going. “I can’t believe he’s making my life so difficult despite his absence.” Ellie whispered to herself before entering the restaurant.

Hey! Ellie! She saw Sam shouting and raising his hand in the air to call her. She felt her heart beat faster as she saw him. With a smile on her face, she walked towards him and took a seat opposite him.

Hi! Ellie said with a smile, to which Sam also replied. They were quiet for some time, and things were getting awkward when Sam suddenly said, “Do you want to order anything? Perhaps a drink or food. Just so you know, they have the best macarons you could ever think of.”

Ellie felt like crying right there. Ever since she met Sam, he has always had a weird character. Sometimes he acts like he’s interested in her, and sometimes he acts like they don’t know each other, even when they went to the same college. But now that she found herself in a dilemma, he remembered what her favorite food was. “You still remember,” Ellie said calmly, cleaning the drops of tears that ran down her face.

“Have I ever forgotten?” Sam asked with a smile. “I can never forget anything about you, Ellie.”

“Then why? Why do you make me feel like you’re not even my friend sometimes? You ignored me for over a year, Sam.”

“That’s because I was scared, Ellie. I was scared that our friendship will destroy, Ellie. I’ve liked you ever since we were in high school, but I was scared,” Sam said, running his hands into his hair.

“Since high school?” Ellie asked happily, but she did not bother to think that he never valued their friendship. He has always joked about her feelings and went out with other girls despite knowing she had a soft corner for him.

“What do you say, Ellie? How about we start afresh?” He suddenly grabbed her hands and smiled happily.

“Wait. Is this not too much of a rush?” Ellie asked herself. Moreover, she was hoping to just explain what was going on to him, but she was shocked about what she was getting.

She looked at Sam and gently removed her hand away from his. “It’s too late, Sam.”

“Too late? What do you mean by that?” Sam asked.

Ellie sighed before talking. “I signed a contract with Alex Warren, and I’ve been living in his house for some time now.”

“Alex Warren? You mean the CEO of Warren Cooperation?” Sam asked in shock.

Yes.

“But why? Why did you sign a contract with him?” Even though he had always seen them together, he wasn’t expecting her to sign a contract with him or to talk about living with him.

“I don’t even know what to say, but I had to sign a contract with him because I needed money, and I also didn’t have a choice at that time.”

But Ellie..

“I really don’t know if I want to talk about this now, but I just felt that you should know, especially after your confession.” Ellie said; she was about to say one more thing when Shawn suddenly came and said, “Ma’am, the boss wants you home right now.”

“Want me home? Did he know I was coming here to meet Sam? Did this guy tell him?” She asked herself different questions as she started to have sweaty palms.

“I’m sorry, Sam. I’ll talk to you later.” She said this before standing up. She walked out of the restaurant while Shawn followed behind, but not before giving Sam a hard glare.

Ellie entered the car, and the driver drove back home. She kept thinking about Sam the whole time she was in the car. “I can’t believe how my life has changed in the past two months. First, Alex was making my life difficult. Now Sam has finally told me he likes me.”

When she got home, she stopped thinking because of the man she saw sitting in the sitting room with his legs crossed like a king.
