The Alpha’s Human Mate

“What? I’m pre-pregnant.”She asked again to confirm what she heard was right.

“Yes ma’am. Just make sure to register for antenatal care. You don’t…

“Thank you, doctor.” She didn’t allow the man to finish his words, before she stood up and left the hospital immediately.

Instead of taking a taxi, she walked out towards the busy road. She kept walking with no emotion on her face; tears were just dropping on their own. She didn’t even care about those people passing and staring at her. “No… This can’t happen.” She thought as she walked.

After walking for some time, she turned around and stopped a taxi. “Take me to a pharmacy store, please.”

When she got to the pharmacy, she was thankful it was a young woman that was there. “Maybe she would be able to help me.” She thought.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Good morning.” The woman greeted her with a smile on her face. “What can I do for you, ma’am?”

“Good morning.” She replied before moving towards the woman to whisper, “I need your help.”

“My help? What can I do for you, ma’am?” The woman asked. She was a bit scared to hear her say she was in need of help.

With a little hesitation and fear on her face, she said. “I need abortive pills,”

“Abortive pills? Ok. Can I see your prescription?” The pharmacist asked.

“Hmm, the thing is that I don’t have a prescription; that’s why I need your help.” She said, but the woman didn’t allow her to finish before cutting her off. “I’m sorry, ma’am. I need your prescription to give you the drug.” The woman said with no emotion on her face; she knew that Ellie might beg her, but she knew the likes of her. She thought that she might be one of those prostitutes who just have sex without protection, despite not being ready for a child yet.

Ellie didn’t want to humiliate herself further, so she just left the pharmacy and got a taxi to go home. “Hello! Jasmine, can you come over?” She called her friend as soon as she got home. She couldn’t think of anything other than to call her.

“Is everything OK?’ Jasmine asked. She was worried something might have happened to her.

“Not really, but just come over; I’ll be expecting you.” Ellie said before hanging up the phone.

After her call, she went to the kitchen to get a cup of water and came back to sit down in the living room. “Why has my life taken different turns ever since I met that strange man? I shouldn’t have gotten drunk.”She sighed before touching her face with her palms. Then suddenly, she remembered. “What about Sam? No, he can never find out, or I won’t be able to face him ever again.” She thought.

She was still thinking of chances when Jasmine knocked and entered the house. “Girl, you left the door open.” She said, as soon as she entered the house. Jasmine sat down opposite her; she removed her shoes and took the cup of water on the table before lamenting. “Oh my goodness, I’m so thirsty.

She gulped down the cup of water before looking at the girl, who was just staring at her. “What happened?” Jasmine asked.

“I’m pregnant, Jasmine.” She said, bursting out into tears. “How can I get pregnant when I still have a lot of things to do with my life? I can start taking care of a baby now.” She questioned herself in tears.

“Calm down, Ellie! Have you told the father” Jasmine asked.

“Are you kidding me? It was a one-night stand. What do you expect me to tell him? Have you forgotten that he’s the CEO of Warren Corporation? Do you think he’ll accept the baby?” She asked. “Moreover, I’m not ready to take care of any baby right now; I’m aborting this baby.”

“Is this about Sam? Are you still hoping to be with him?” Jasmine muttered with irritation.

“This is not only about Sam; it’s also about my life. I can’t give birth or take care of any child right now. She said, cleaning the tears on her face away, while Jasmine also moved closer to her and hugged her.

“Fine. I’ll help you get a pill from one of my friends.” She said, looking away from her to her phone.

“Thank you so much.” Ellie said before hugging her back.

In Warren Corporation.

“Did I not tell you to change this? Why did you keep making the same mistake?” He asked in fury. He had been like that for a week now, screaming at everyone, even at the slightest mistake. He had even fired an employee because she entered the same elevator with him.

“I’m sorry, sir; I will go over it again.” Jeffrey, his assistant, picked up the papers and ran out of his office.

“Make sure you print your resignation letter, because after another mistake, you’re out of this company.” He said before the man could leave.

After Jeffrey left, someone knocked on the door and entered.

“Good afternoon, sir.” He greeted him, but Alex didn’t answer him. It was the man he had asked to monitor Ellie and keep him updated about her. “I came here to tell you about her suspicious whereabouts.”

“Tell me,” he said sternly.

“She didn’t go to work today. She went to the hospital early in the morning, and went straight to a pharmacy, but what was suspicious was that she was crying on the road before she took a taxi to a pharmacy.” The man explained.

“Crying?” He asked, finally dropping the document he was going through.

“Yes sir.” That was why I came to report it on time. The man said.

“Make sure to keep an eye on her; you can go.” He said to the man, who also bowed his head before leaving.

“Cry? I wonder why she was crying after leaving the hospital. Could she be suffering from an illness?” He asked himself.

“We would have known if you hadn’t let her go.” His wolf hissed. “She’s our mate, whether you like it or not.”

“So, you think even if I had accepted her, a weak human like her would be willing to accept a wolf?” He said back to his wolf.

“You have no choice but to accept her, Alex. I know you don’t want her to lose her life.” His wolf said, but he could only sigh in frustration.
