His name
Ellie couldn’t stop the surge of anger that was building up inside her. She just wanted to leave the house immediately.
“He thinks he can control me,” she said to herself. She knew that Alex would have gone to work, so she decided to leave early in the morning.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
She did not bother to eat the breakfast that the maids had made for her; she went to the garage and asked Shawn to get her out of the house because she was not allowed to leave on her own.
She told Shawn she was visiting a friend, but she knew he was a bit skeptical about it. “I’m sorry for saying this, ma’am, but Mr. Warren won’t like it if you visit that man again.” Shawn said with his head bowed to her.
Ellie sighed with anger. “I’m not going out to see a guy.” She said this before getting into the car without waiting for Shawn’s reply. She knew he wouldn’t see her sitting in the car for long.
Having no choice but to obey her, Shawn also got into the car and drove out of the house.
After an hour, the car stopped in front of a house. Ellie knew that the only thing she needed was a space for Alex. Even though she has accepted the fact that he was a werewolf, she can’t accept to always obey him at all time.
“You can go. I’m not coming home tonight.” Ellie said to Shawn after she got out of the car.
But Shawn did not move an inch; he did not want to leave her alone, especially when he didn’t know who she had come to see. “I’m sorry, ma’am; I can’t leave you all alone.”
Ellie losed her cool immediately; she walked up to where Shawn was and said it in anger. Why! I told you I’m not here to see a guy, but you want to choose to keep monitoring me around!
Shawn did not know what to say; he did not want to upset her, nor did he want to disobey Alex. “I’ll leave when I know who you’re here to meet, ma’am.”
“My mother.” Ellie answered. “I’m here to meet my mother, so you can leave.” She said, looking at him as if to tell him to start going.
She was not planning to go to her mother’s house, but that was the only place she could think of. She knew Jasmine would go to work, and she also did not want to go to her house because Alex might come to force her back. And she also missed her mother, but she will have to make sure her mom doesn’t find out about her pregnancy.
Shawn sighed and left her alone. He was the only one who knew what he would go through with Alex.
Ellie took a deep breath before entering the gate of the house. She punched in the code when she got to the front of the door.
Mom!! She called out to her mom when she got into the house. She knew that her mom was at home because it was still early for her mom to go out.
Mrs. Loren, who was cooking in the kitchen, was surprised to hear someone’s voice from the sitting room. She stopped what she was doing and switched off the cooker so she could hear the person’s voice.
Ellie! The woman, who already knew the voice, called out in excitement, and quickly went to the sitting room to see her daughter.
She was so happy to see her daughter that she didn’t even know whether to hug her or scold her. “Do you know how worried you got me, Ellie? I went to your apartment, and your neighbors told me they haven’t seen you for weeks.”
Ellie, who was about to hug her mom, felt pain in her back. Her mom hit her lightly on the back with her hand. “But mom, I do text you.”
“Text? Can you even listen to yourself?” Mrs. Loren asked. “Can text ever be like seeing you?” Ellie noticed the pain in her mother’s face. She had been the only child ever since her younger brother died at a very young age, not long after her dad died. Even since then, her mother has always worried about her and cared about her.
“I’m sorry.” Ellie said to her mother with a smile.
They both sat down on the couch and talked for some time. Mrs. Loren noticed some changes in her daughter, but she was not sure, so she decided to keep it to herself.
“So, what’s his name?” Mrs. Loren asked with a teasing smile.
“Name? Whose name?” Ellie asked. Instead of answering, she knew what her mom was talking about, but she didn’t want to remember anything about Alex. Not that her mom knows about Alex, but she also always disturbed her to have a boyfriend.
“What do you mean by that? The man who has been keeping you busy for a long time, tell me, what’s his name?” The woman continued with a smile.
“Mum, please.” Ellie said before walking to her former room. She moved out of the room because she wanted to try living by herself for once, without her mother helping her with stuff like house chores.
Mrs. Loren knew that there was someone; if not, her daughter would have been denying it, but she wasn’t saying anything about it.

Warren corporation.
Sophie knocked on the door of the office lightly, and she opened it when she heard the answer from inside.
She saw Alex sitting on his chair with some files with him and also Jeffrey, who was just standing in fear.
“Good morning, Ms. Sophie.” Jeff greeted her. He was not expecting to see Sophie, and he knew Alex was going to get angry about her coming into his office, but everyone already recognized her as his girlfriend. That was why they allowed her.
“What are you doing here?” Alex asked without any greetings; he couldn’t stop the anger he was feeling about seeing the girl in his office.
Jeff noticed the tension in the room and quickly excused himself.
“Is that what you’ll ask me first?” Sophie asked.
Alex was surprised to hear her ask a question instead of answering him. “You’ve grown quite a nerve.” Alex said with the same angry tone
Sophie also realized that she was getting him pissed. She quickly gave a small smile and apologized immediately. “I’m sorry.”
She watched him for some time before saying, “Mother has always wanted good things for you and the pack; that’s why she doesn’t want a weak human as Luna.” Sophie said it with a sad expression.
She thought maybe she might try to persuade Alex into performing the Luna ceremony with her, but Alex, on the other hand, was getting angry at the fact that she was making herself part of the family and calling Madeline mother.
He dropped the paper with him and looked at her. “You should give up now, Sophie. I have a mate now, and she has my pup. If you think your training can take away my mate’s rightful position, then you’re wrong,” Alex said.
The only thing Sophie heard in his words was that the human girl was carrying his pup. “She’s pregnant?” Sophie asked softly, but she didn’t get any reply.
“We have been friends since we were kids,” she said.
“And we still are, but if you think we could go beyond that, then you’re deceiving yourself,” Alex said. He doesn’t care about what his mother or the pack are planning. His mate, Luna, is Ellie.
She stood up and dragged herself out of the room. She felt like her whole world had crumbled. She drove her car out of the company without knowing where she was going. She drove for about an hour before stopping in the middle of the woods. “How could you do this to me, Alex? How could you choose a human over me?” She cried.
“That child should be ours instead.” She said, cleaning the tears from her face and laughing at the same time.
“The Luna shouldn’t have anything to cry or worry about.” She said with a smile before she took her phone and dialed a number.
“Let’s meet. I’ll send you the address.” She said to the person over the phone that she hung up and sighed before starting the car.
