The Alpha’s Human Mate

“I’m ready to become Luna.” She said.

Alex did not say a word; he just stared at her before he finally blinked his eyes. “Luna? Do you know what you’re talking about, Ellie?

“Whoever is your mate is supposed to be the Luna, right?”

Yes, but… He answered, but Ellie cut him off before he could finish his words. “And I don’t think our mate bond was ever broken, right?”

“Yes, Ellie. But this is too sudden.” He said before sighing. “Did someone say something to you? Is someone forcing you? Is it Maya?” He asked. He remembered that her mood was sullen last night, and it might be that someone had said something to her.

“No one is forcing me. I haven’t even spoken to Maya for a long time.”

“It’s something I’ll later accept, whether I like it or not, and I think I’m ready.” She said, looking at Alex, but he did not say anything. “Now the favor I want to ask for.”

“That’s not the favor?” Alex asked, surprised.

“I’d like to live in the supreme as Luna. As soon as she said those words, the whole room was filled with silence. He stood up immediately. “No. That can’t happen.”

She was surprised to see his outburst; she also stood up and took a step forward to where he was. “Alex. Listen to me.”

“Why? Tell me why, Ellie. You want to live in the Supreme?! Do you even know what you’re saying?” He asked, forgetting that he was already raising his voice, but seeing her burst out into tears, he quickly lowered his voice and walked closer to her. “Please, Alex.” She said with tears, and he also hugged her. “It’s okay.”

I’m sorry, but I just… He sighed before continuing. “I don’t want you near danger. The Supreme is filled with different kinds of wolves. He said, pulling away from the hug. He thought maybe it would change her mind, but she wasn’t saying anything. “Is there something you’re not telling me, Ellie?”

Ellie also looked up at him and sniffed. “I’m sorry, Alex.” She knew that telling Alex now about it would surely stop her from going to the Supreme, and she was not sure whether Sam was telling her the truth.

“So there’s something going on.” He said, still looking at her before sighing. “OK, fine. I just hope it’s not something dangerous, and you’ll tell me when you’re ready.”

“Does that mean you agree?” Ellie asked with curiosity, knowing that he’s not someone who can let things like that go. “Are you not curious?”

“You don’t want to know how curious I am, but since that’s what you want, I’ll wait.” He walked her back to have her seat before he sat in his own chair too. “But we will leave and come back home even if something little goes wrong.”

“Thank you.” She smiled lightly, and Alex also smiled back. He wondered what she was keeping. He had been thinking the whole night as to why she acted like that, but hearing her say she wants to live in the Supreme makes him really worried.

“What will be done for me to become Luna?”

“A Luna’s ceremony will be organized for you in the Supreme.” He said, eating his meal, while Ellie just nodded. “When will that be?” She asked, to which Alex looked at her. He noticed that she was in a hurry to be Luna. One part of him was happy, and the other was worried. “I’ll talk to Callum.”

After they both finished eating, Alex told Ellie that he was going out to meet Callum and that he wouldn’t take long.

She sat down in the sitting room after Alex had gone. She was still thinking about whether she was making the right decision when her phone suddenly beeped. It was Christina.

She received the call, and she told her to come over. The house was already boring, and calling her friend over would make her feel better.

“Wow! This house is huge!” Christina said, looking at the whole building as she entered the house. “Is Mr. Warren at home?” She asked, sitting on the couch beside Ellie.

No, Ellie replied.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“How are you doing?”

“I’m doing fine,” Ellie also answered. She noticed that Christina was struggling to talk, and it was surely about not making her sad. She also did not want to talk about things that would make her sad, so she decided to clear the tension. “I think you should know about this. I will soon become the Luna to the biggest pack in the werewolf world.”

“A Luna?” Christina asked, surprised.

You don’t know what a Luna is? Don’t you watch fantasies? Ellie asked, laughing.

I know what it is, but… Are you sure you want to do this? I mean, you were, she said, before going quiet all of a sudden.

“I was so persistent I didn’t want anything to do with werewolves, right?” She asked, to which Christina nodded. “I also can’t believe myself. I realized I couldn’t let him go, Christina.” She said with a smile before continuing, while Christina was just looking at her. “And I also found out I have to become a Luna to find out my parent’s killer.” She explained everything to her: Sam being a werewolf, how he called her, and her plans.

“You mean that cute guy is also a werewolf? What exactly is going on? Am I the only human here?” She asked, to which Ellie only laughed. “But don’t you think telling Mr. Warren would be a good idea?”

“I also know telling him would be a good idea, but I feel finding out first on my own would be better,” Ellie said.

Christina could only sigh. “I hope this goes well.”

“It will. So get ready; you’re also coming with me to the ceremony.”

“Of course.” Christina also smiled. They were both quiet for some time, until Ellie asked. “So are you not going to tell me what’s going on between you and Callum?”

Christina looked at her before clearing her throat. “Callum? There’s nothing between us.” She said, but Ellie knew she was lying. She still remembered how Christina acted when Callum insisted on taking her back home when she was still in the hospital with her mom.

“It’s not something important, Ellie.”

He got to the training house. “Where is he?” He asked Callum, who had already been standing outside since the time Alex called him. He led him into a room in the house.

He followed Callum into the room, and he was greeted with a body on the ground. Callum walked to the body to remove the piece of clothing covering the face.

“Where did you find him?” Alex asked, looking at the body, whose face looked like it had been scratched so many times by an unknown creature.

“In front of the dark forest.”

“Do you think a witch did this?” He asked, walking closer to the body. The marks look like they were caused by a witch.

I know the marks on his face were caused by a witch, but if you look at this, Callum said that, walking closer to the man, he opened his shirt, revealing his chest, which had another different kind of scratch.

This belongs to a wolf.

“Yes. Which means a wolf must have pounced on him while he was maybe running,” Callum answered.

The scratch mark on his face belongs to a witch, and the one on his chest is from a wolf.” Alex said, looking at the body. “Meaning that the rogues must have done this.”

“That’s correct.”
