The Alpha’s Human Mate

She jumped and did different kinds of stunts just to get out of the hole, but it was too deep. She would have screamed, but she did not want to get the attention of the people in the house. She knew that they might hear her voice because of the quietness of the forest.

Tears kept coming out of her eyes; she knew that she had no choice but to follow the passage. After all, she wanted to save Alex. “Maybe I could find something.” She gave herself hope.

With her phone as a torchlight, she moved her leg and followed the passage.

Despite how shaky and scared she was, she kept going through the passage, telling herself it was all for Alex.

Ellie kept walking into the tunnel for some time, until she finally got to a wooden door that marked the end of the passage. She looked at the door before looking back at where she was coming from.

She was so scared of what she might see if she opened the door; she did not want to enter, nor did she want to go back to where she was coming from.

After some time, she mustered up her courage and put her hand on the door knob. She took a deep breath before opening it.

She opened the door slowly and pointed out her torchlight, but before she could see anything, something suddenly crawled on her leg. She screamed and fell to the ground.

As a result of that, her phone dropped with a loud sound, causing it to break into pieces.

“No. Oh my goodness! You can’t quit on me.” She cried, trying to search the ground for her phone, but she did not see any part of it because it was too dark.

She couldn’t go back into the darkness, nor could she go into the dark room. “I’m sorry, Alex.” She cried.

She thought maybe she could find a way to get into the house and save Alex. But she had failed miserably, all because of her foolishness. And she was also trapped in a dark tunnel.

Ellie knew she had no choice but to enter the room; she couldn’t go back through the long, dark tunnel. She opened the door widely and walked in slowly.

“Hello. Is someone there?” She whispered slowly. She has accepted everything that would happen to her if Callum caught her.

She saw that there was a dull, flickering light bulb in the middle of the room. It was so dull that it couldn’t circulate the whole room.

All of a sudden, the room door closed with a loud bang. She looked back and widened her eyes in fear. “Is… is someone there?” She stuttered.

She suddenly heard a low growl behind her. She turned back slowly, her body dripping with sweat due to fear. Its heartbeat was so loud, and its eyes were all bloodshot.

She took some steps backward. Suddenly, she screamed when the wolf dashed towards her. Ahh!

She was expecting the wolf to tear her apart, but nothing happened. She opened her eyes slowly, and she saw that the wolf was not coming closer to her.

It was just going back and forth on a spot. That was when she saw the chain around its waist and shoulders.

She moved back in fear and stared at the big brownish-gray wolf growling in anger. Its fangs are so long and big that they could kill any creature right away.

Ellie kept looking at the wolf, despite the flickering bulb; she did not know why, but she felt like she was connected to the wolf.

“Alex.” She whispered before speaking out.

Alex! She said again. This time, she stood up on her feet. It was the same wolf that saved her the day she went to the Supreme; it also saved her recently from some wolves.

“Alex. It’s you.” She cried; she tried to take a step forward, but she couldn’t because of the growling from the wolf.

“Is this what Callum turned you into?” She cried. She thought Callum was the one who tied him up and turned him into an aggressive wolf that couldn’t recognize her.

“Alex. It’s me. Ellie.” She took a step forward, despite how scared she was. She kept moving closer when she saw that the snarling had reduced. She stretched her hand to touch the wolf’s head, but before her hand could get any closer.

The wolf inhaled her scent and even got more angry. She screamed and fell to the ground as the wolf moved to attack her.

The aggressive wolf would have torn her apart, but the chain holding it couldn’t let it get closer.

With all the force of the wolf, one of the chains got broken. Ellie just kept screaming and crying; she was so scared that she would have to die in the room, and it was Alex that would kill her

“What happened here?! How did this happen?!” Callum screamed, looking at the man lying on the floor, lifeless. He was the poisoned rogue that was caught while trying to save Ellie.

“The poison killed him,” Maya replied, looking at the lifeless rogue.

“The poison? How is that possible?”

“I’ve been trying to study the poison, but with what we’ve all seen, The poison turns them aggressive and strong, and it later kills them after a few days.” Maya explained.

Maya was the one treating the rogue; she was called by Callum because she was familiar with witches and she was the only one he could trust.

Callum did not say anything; he just kept staring at the lifeless rogue.

“We need to find the cure. I don’t want to think about what will happen to my brother.” She said with worry.

Just then, a loud scream suddenly came from nowhere. “What’s that?” Maya asked, looking at a wall close to them.

Callum, without saying anything, walked to the wall and pushed it slowly.

“Ellie.” He was shocked when he saw Ellie inside the room, but more shocked when he saw that one of the chains on the wolf had broken, and it was about to tear the human in front of him apart.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

He got in front of the wolf and tried to calm it down, but it only got worse. The wolf kept exerting more force. Callum knew that the chain might break anytime soon; he quickly took an injection from his pocket and dashed towards the wolf.

While all this was going on, Maya had already helped Ellie up and led her out of the room.
