The Alpha’s Human Mate

She followed him inside quietly. When they got inside, she was amused at how big and beautiful the inside was. The living room was much bigger than her small apartment.

She saw some maids standing beside the door. They bowed and greeted her as soon as she entered. She also answered them with a smile on her face.From NôvelDrama.Org.

Welcome to my home! He said, turning towards her and lifting his hands into the air in a welcome way. “These are your maids; they’ll attend to all your needs.” He said, pointing towards the maids who were standing behind her.

He had hired werewolves with a low rank for her because he didn’t want to have anything to do with humans; his world didn’t revolve around humans. He knew that the wolves wouldn’t do anything to her and, moreover, her wanted her to learn how to live among creatures like them.

“Thank you, Mr. Warren, but you don’t really have to hire maids for me,” Ellie said. She knew from Jeff that he lived alone, and he didn’t like people coming to his house.

“It’s Alex. And also, I will do anything for you as long as you’re in this house. After all, everything is for the baby.” He said, giving her a creepy smile.

“Oh, before I forget. Always stay in your room whenever I have any guests. I mean, don’t let any of my guests see you. Always stay in your room.” He said, looking into her eyes with his warning tone.

She looked up at him; she was surprised to hear what his demand was. “I could have just stayed in my apartment rather than coming here to hide. She said to him:.

“No one is telling you to hide. Just do what I asked of you to avoid consequences.” He said sternly, before smiling at her again. “The maids will show you to your room. I hope you enjoy your stay.”

She watched him leave until he vanished. “Why the hell would he tell me to hide from his guests? And why is he acting so strange?” She asked herself; she had been noticing how he was acting toward her. One time, he was smiling; the other time, he was talking to her harshly.

She followed a maid who directed her towards her room. She was so surprised at how big the room was. She dropped her bag on the bed and felt the soft bed with her hands. She also took the blanket on the bed and inhaled the smell deeply, forgetting about the maid who was still looking at her.

“Oh! Pardon me.” She walked up to the maid and smiled slightly at her; she thought maybe she could at least make friends in the house, but was surprised when the maid looked through her neck and bowed her head before rushing out.

“What happened? Did I do something? Why does everyone keep acting strange in this house?” She asked herself before choosing to ignore her.

She ran towards the bed and bounced on it. She took her phone from her bag and tried calling Christina again; she tried her number twice and was happy when she picked up at the second ring. “Hey!” She heard her voice speak weakly over the phone.

“Hi Christina. Please, can we meet up and talk this weekend?” Ellie asked. She had been trying to call her since she left the company, but she didn’t pick up. Even though she had decided not to call Sam, she couldn’t help but think about him.

“Wherever you want to meet,” Christina said.

“Thank you; I’ll text you the location.” Ellie said before hanging up. She lied on the bed, staring at the ceiling, until she slept off without realizing; she only woke up when she heard a knock on the door. She stood up and opened the door, just to see a maid.

“I’m here to tell you that your dinner is ready, ma’am.” The maid said, bowing her head slightly. Ellie noticed that it wasn’t the maid who showed her the room; it was another one. Oh, ok, let’s go. She said, wasting no time. She wanted to act posh but realized it wouldn’t help her because of how hungry she was.

She followed the girl to the dining room. Her mouth watered because of the different kinds of foods and fruits on the table. She sat down in excitement and was about to eat when she remembered the owner of the house and the food. “Where is Mr. Warren? Have you informed him about dinner?” She asked.

“The dinner is only for you, ma’am.” A maid replied with her head bowed. “What about his own?” She asked, even though she didn’t like his presence while eating. He was the owner of the house, and she couldn’t have dinner without him.

She noticed that the maids looked at themselves before one of them finally replied. “We’re only here for you, ma’am.”

She looked at the maid before looking back at her food. “Of course they’re only here because of me and you.” She said, rubbing her tummy. “Why should I care if he eats or not?” She said to herself and continued eating her food.

She wanted to ask the maids why they stood there and watched her eat, but decided not to ask. “All of them are just so weird. It’s not like we’re in a royal house.” She thought. She finished her food and went back to her room to sleep.

In the kitchen, three ladies could be seen whispering words to themselves.

“I told you. I saw the mate’s mark on her.” One of the maids whispered. She was the one who showed Ellie to her room.

“How’s that possible? Werewolves are forbidden to have anything to do with humans, not to talk of marking them.” Another girl said, “Does that mean that Alpha Alex marked her despite the rules?” She continued.

“That’s enough; it seems that both of you want your heads on a plate. You both know how an Alpha’s ear can be so sharp. Keep on talking; I hope you’re ready for the consequences.” The third girl said before leaving them alone. Both of them also dispersed in fear.
